[gentoo-user] GNOME: How to create document template?
Hi all. When I attempt to create a new file in Nautilus it gives me an inactive No templates installed and a usable Empty file option underneath. How would I go about creating a template that I could use here? I've looked through the Nautilus help files and did a quick Google search and could not find the answer. :-( (I found one page that says you can drop documents in Nautilus's templates directory, but trying to open templates:/// in Nautilus simply gives me an error message saying that it could not be found. For example, I'm working on a project for myself in PHP and was wondering if there was a way to create a template (i.e., with a commented header and opening/closing PHP tags) so that I could easily create new files for the project without having to recreate the header and footer information and whatnot. I also would like to have a similar setup with documents for school, so I could create a new AbiWord document, for example, which contained a header with my name, the class, the document title, etc. Thanks for your time and input. :-) -- () The ASCII Ribbon Campaign - against HTML Email, /\ vCards, and proprietary formats. --- Peter A.

Would the PowerPC version of Gentoo (2.6.10-gentoo-r8) be able to detect and use this card?

All right-- I don't know what any of this means, but it is in fact much more information that what we previously had. What in the name of sanity is MergedFB, and where can we turn it off? Why is UseFBDev trying to turn *on* when your setting is *off* ? But in any case, it's time to go back to the sources, clearly. All you've posted is the X.log.0, here are the errors: (WW) The directory /usr/share/fonts/CID/ does not exist. This one is not important (doesn't stop X from starting). (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory) I don't use APM, as this is a desktop, not a laptop. However, you seem to have a laptop, so while I would not necessarily think that this would stop X from starting (it might, though), this seems distinctly double-plus-ungood and needs to be fixed ASAP in any case. But that's a kernel issue (APM support would seem to be uncompiled). (WW) RADEON(0): Failed to detect secondary monitor, MergedFB/Clone mode disabled Oh-- *that's* what MergedFB mode is... dual-head! Which you clearly don't even have (unless your second monitor is just broke). So this should be turned off, but still shouldn't be stopping X from starting.

Disabling DRI. Basically, the 'radeon' module (the kernel opensource drivers) are not able to initialize 3D hardware acceleration (afaik, the 'radeon' drivers cannot do this for the Mobility chipsets; you would need the fglrx drivers)-- and if you are using KDM or GDM or Entrance to start X (rather than just 'startx' from a console), you need this functionality (GNOME or KDE, ime, won't start without some form of acceleration, be it ATI, MESA or whatever). So I'd like to know how your kernel is configured, and what your xorg.conf looks like. Well, of course they do-- you're using the 'defaults' option, which implies (among other things) 'noexec'-- which means scripts may not be run (no executables may be run) from the partition. You might want to add the 'exec' option *after* the 'defaults' option (so that it overrides the 'noexec' included by 'defaults', if you put 'exec' before defaults, the 'noexec' witll override the exlplicit 'exec', which is not what you want). You maybe got confused, because 'defaults' use 'exec' and not 'noexec'. But, for clear doubts, I double set 'exec' and tried again, with no success... I still can't create a user properly! And this problem spreads to X startup.. what can be wrong? You're right, according to man mount but I know from hard experience that there is *some* option that sets nodev nosuid and noexec *as well as* the explicit option when you set it ah, it's - user Allow an ordinary user to mount the file system. The name of the mounting user is written to mtab so that he can unmount the file system again. This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent options, as in the option line user,exec,dev,suid). So I had the wrong option, sorry. But I don't understand why settings in /etc/fstab would affect user creation, or X startup of all things unless what you're saying is: 1) Because your /home partition is FAT32, when you try to create a user, the default files cannot be copied to create the user's home folder because the permissions are wrong.

I don't have a ~/.timidity, but /usr/share/timidity is there. As you found, there is no /current directory, but since this whole thing refers to patches, I can only assume that the /eawpatches folder-- which *is* present-- would be what is desired (but what about me, who doesn't have a bloody SoundBlaster? Do I need these patches? Can I use these patches? I don't know). The eawpatches folder does contain a timidity.cfg, further indicating that somebody simply forgot to change the name (either of the folder, to /current, or of the setting, to point to /eawpatches instead of /current). So since you can set the 'patch folder' yourself, I would suggest changing the setting to read source eawpatches/timidity.cfg and that looks like it would work. I know nothing about MIDI or Timidity, so I wouldn't know if it was working anyway; I only installed it because a game I was trying to install plays all the WAV files properly, but not the MIDI, and I thought it might help. However, a) my soundcard does have a Wavetable Synthesizer (so I shouldn't need to emulate Midi); b) I fixed ALSA, which was set up wrong (so the internal Midi should be working); and c) for all I know, it's a Wine/Cedega problem anyway, and nothing to do with ALSA or Timidity. The point being, we have now reached (and passed) the point where you know more about this than I do, but I hope I've been helpful in giving you a boost to a point where you can fix the remaining issues yourself :) .

Hi Zhang,
I don't know for sure if what I'm going to say is true, but I believe
that if you kill the gnome-session process being run by your user, it
will shutdown the Gnome session and all the apps that are child
processes of it. It is a wild guess, but might be worth trying.
Hope this helps you out,

Hello. I often remotely login to my other computer using XDMCP (run
gdom, select XDMCP chooser...) but the connection could be broken for
many reasons (connection down, or the host I am using gets down). The
next time I login, it would prompt me something like you are logined in
from another place, do you still wish to login , and if I click
'yes', I will see dozens of startup application crash because they
cannot run twice by same user.
Is it possible I logout my previous (connection broken) session by using
commandline? Thus I could ssh gets into the host, run the command, and
re-login.
The local administrator have a straight forward method of
#ps U zhangweiwu | awk {print $1} | xargs kill -TERM
This solves the problem instantly! I just feeling courious if there are
'better' methods. I remember when I was on Windows there is something
like 'session manager' where each logged in session can be manually 'log
out', is there similar thing on gnome?

[gentoo-user] samba + mysql + crypt password (pam or passdb)?
hi guys, I'm trying to use mysql with samba to authenticate users. The fist thing I've tryed was passdb wich one is very useful except that I can't personalize the querys but that's not a problem since I could make my needed changes at pdb_sql.c Well after trying for a while I saw that I can't use crypt password with this auth method but just nt password, lan manager password and plain password (which one I'm using now). The problem is that this database is used for such other things like courier-imap and this one could support crypt passwords. Looking around I saw that I could use crypt password with pam + mysql and I decide to give it a try but I can't make pam to work. Actually I think the problem is with passdb parameter wich one I don't know what to put since I didn't seen any parameter that could match pam. I did try to comment passdb parameter but if I try it nor password verification is done. That's my pam.d/samba file where we can see I'm using plain password (crypt=0): auth required pam_mysql.so user=USERNAME passwd=PASSWORD host=LOCALHOST db=DATABASE usercolumn=user_id crypt=0 passwdcolumn=password table=user account required pam_mysql.so user=USERNAME passwd=PASSWORD host=LOCALHOST db=DATABASE usercolumn=user_id crypt=0 passwdcolumn=password table=user password required pam_mysql.so user=USERNAME passwd=PASSWORD host=LOCALHOST db=DATABASE usercolumn=user_id crypt=0 passwdcolumn=password table=user session required pam_mysql.so user=USERNAME passwd=PASSWORD host=LOCALHOST db=DATABASE usercolumn=user_id crypt=0 passwdcolumn=password table=user what I want is to use crypt password with mysql.

Re: [gentoo-user] problem starting KDE
Holly Bostick wrote: All right-- I don't know what any of this means, but it is in fact much more information that what we previously had. What in the name of sanity is MergedFB, and where can we turn it off? Why is UseFBDev trying to turn *on* when your setting is *off* ? For the record, my current xorg.conf device section looks like this: Section Device Identifier Card0 Driver radeon VendorName ATI Technologies Inc BoardName RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] Option MergedFB Off Option UseFBDev Off Option MonitorLayout LVDS, CRT Option DynamicClocks On Option EnablePageFlip On Option VGAAcess On Option BIOSHotKeys On EndSection Also, I have *no* DRI section at all...so maybe that needs to be removed or commented out if it is actually causing the fatal error. It is certainly useless Basically, the 'radeon' module (the kernel opensource drivers) are not able to initialize 3D hardware acceleration (afaik, the 'radeon' drivers cannot do this for the Mobility chipsets; you would need the fglrx drivers)-- and if you are using KDM or GDM or Entrance to start X (rather than just 'startx' from a console), you need this functionality (GNOME or KDE, ime, won't start without some form of acceleration, be it ATI, MESA or whatever). Just a clarification here. The radeon driver can provide hardware acceleration on Radeon 9200 and earlier boards (R250 chipsets and below). R300 and above, including mobility, require the fglrx driver for good 3D performance. However the radeon driver fully supports the mobility chipsets for 2D mode (I have Radeon 9600 mobility, M10/R350 chip), which is all that is required for KDM/GDM/and most everything else. 3D screensavers, opengl audio visualizations, and 3D games are the major things that don't run worth a damn with the radeon driver. So I think the problem is in the kernel and X.org configs, for what it's worth. I also think that the radeon driver is the wrong one for you to be using, and you should be using the fglrx driver (check the release notes, but I'm pretty sure it's compatible with the Mobility now). Yes, it will work with my M10 board. But some OpenGL apps still lockup my machine, and you absolutely lose any capability of using software suspend/resume. I happen to consider software suspend more important for my laptop than (broken) 3D support, so I stick with the radeon driver! I also build my system with USE=-opengl, but that is _not_ the problem here. I have a sense that we've got the tiger by the wrong end, but don't have enough information to figure out which end is which :) . I think you are on the right track...it seems to be a conflict between the xorg.conf file, or kernel configuration. But I've tried to duplicate the behavior, with and without dri, with and without the UseFBDev/MergedFB options, and cannot do so. The best I can do is generate errors about failed to open framebuffer device and MergedFB mode disabled. But X still starts. I can't generate any message about failed to load kernel module, or any other messages about the radeon kernel module. Fernando, you may want to try X -configure, which will auto-generate a configuration for you based on the things that X.org detects. You can then test it with X -config /root/xorg.conf.new. This mostly configures things correctly for me, the only thing it gets wrong is that I need /dev/input/mice instead of /dev/mouse in the pointer configuration. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It seems that the server doesn't like your build of the bitmap fonts
library. Not sure why this is...looks like a bug to me, or possibly a
CFLAGS goof.
I suggest rebuilding x.org with USE=-bitmap-fonts. That should get you
around this problem
-Richard
No dice...
I tried changing the use flags and nothing helped. My CFLAGS
shouldn't be an issue either.
CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
MAKEOPTS=-j4
Oops, seems I gave bad advice. Merging with USE=-bitmap-fonts doesn't
actually prevent this module from being compiled or loaded. It just
prevents the fonts from being built/installed apparently.
Could you try rebuilding X with MAKEOPTS=-j1. Yes, I know the Gentoo
documentation says to use 1 more than your physical processors, but make
and gcc sometimes get very confused about whether a file is actually
finished being built yet, leading to collisions between gcc processes
that try to create a module and others that try to use it. In short, if
the -j number is 1, you can simply expect some builds to fail. I
haven't seen any cases where this actually causes a corrupted
library...but this could be the first.
If you still have the same problem, then my only other idea is that
something in your build chain is severely broken. Maybe re-merging
binutils and gcc would help...
For the record, my X use flags are:

[gentoo-user] Problems writing CDs
Hello all, I cannot write CDs anymore. The only thing i changed lately was an upgrade to cdrtools-2.01-r3 from r2 some days ago. Now nearly all attempts to burn an audio CD end with an error. After some of the mistakes (using k3b) I searched the forum and found some postings on problems writing CDs as normal user. So I tried the ck-sources (2.6.11_p10) as these were said to have a patch, no change. The last thing I tried was using cdrecord as root (both with the ck-sources and the gentoo-sources-2.6.11), but I still get errors like the following: Track 01: Total bytes read/written: 45236016/45236016 (19233 sectors).

Re: [gentoo-user] Something strange with emerge...
Andrew, Holly, everyone,
I did an 'emerge --info' to check what USE flags were set, and I saw
that portage used the gnome flag.
This gnome flag is not set in the make.conf
I tried the -t switch ('emerge -pvuDt wold') and the output is just
the same ... don't have any tree of any kind...
The only thing I can do is to add -gnome into my make.conf and then
It is a regular output.
Do you thing there's a more elegant way to run an update properly ???
Any way thanks for your help (I didn't think about the -t switch).
Cordially,
Yann Garnier

i precise that I don't use nor want to use Big desktop environnment
such as gnome or kde because of compile time
and most of all because Window Maker fits all my need...
Did I miss something ???
Can someone help me ?
Either 'gnome' snuck into your USE flags, or some package that you
already have
installed suddenly gained a dependency on gnome (new version or
something). Run
'emerge -uDpvt' to get an idea of which package is pulling in all
those gnome deps.

Andrew, Holly, everyone,
I did an 'emerge --info' to check what USE flags were set, and I saw
that portage used the gnome flag.
This gnome flag is not set in the make.conf
I tried the -t switch ('emerge -pvuDt wold') and the output is just the
same ... don't have any tree of any kind...
The only thing I can do is to add -gnome into my make.conf and then It
is a regular output.
Do you thing there's a more elegant way to run an update properly ???
Any way thanks for your help (I didn't think about the -t switch).
On my x86 system, the +gnome flag is set in
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/make.defaults.
So yes, if you want -gnome, you do need to set it specifically in
/etc/make.conf, and then do an emerge --newuse world to get recompile
all of the packages that currently have gnome support included, without
such support.

Re: [gentoo-user] problem starting KDE
Hi, first of all, thanks for the support! Let me split these into 2 parts: 1) the problem with the X server, and 2) the remaining errors... Although I have a few errors while starting X, they do not make X fail (as I think). After starting X, the problem arises when loading KDE with the following message: -Could not read network connection list. /home/nando/.DCOPserver_nandux__0 Please check that the dcopserver program is running. in the startx.log I get this: kdeinit: Aborting. bind() failed: : Operation not permitted Could not bind to socket '/home/nando/.kde/socket-nandux/kdeinit__0' Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory kdeinit: Aborting. bind() failed: : Operation not permitted Could not bind to socket '/home/nando/.kde/socket-nandux/kdeinit__0' Could not register with DCOPServer. Aborting. ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server! This, as I could find until now, is due to problems with my /home partition (fat32). With a new user (with homedir in the linux partition) everything goes fine. For this problem, I can't find solution.. I've tried many mount option with full permission to everyone, but scripts don't run properly (such as useradd and something within the X startup). Now, the errors when starting Xorg: Yes, I think I have conflicts between xorg and the kernel configuration. I've attached my xorg.conf file (the one I adapted after running Xorg -configure I commented the font problem, the DRI section and added some lines in the keyboard and mouse inputs). From what I could see from your xorg.conf, mine got somewhat less detailed :( I'll bring news as soon as possible! As well as the lsmod and dmesg output (they are unavailable to me at the moment of writing this email). For info: I have a ATI Mobility M6 Thanks!

So I think the problem is in the kernel and X.org configs, for what it's worth. I also think that the radeon driver is the wrong one for you to be using, and you should be using the fglrx driver (check the release notes, but I'm pretty sure it's compatible with the Mobility now). Yes, it will work with my M10 board.But some OpenGL apps still lockupmy machine, and you absolutely lose any capability of using softwaresuspend/resume.I happen to consider software suspend more important for my laptop than (broken) 3D support, so I stick with the radeondriver!I also build my system with USE=-opengl, but that is _not_the problem here. I have a sense that we've got the tiger by the wrong end, but don't have enough information to figure out which end is which :) .I think you are on the right track...it seems to be a conflict betweenthe xorg.conf file, or kernel configuration.But I've tried toduplicate the behavior, with and without dri, with and without the UseFBDev/MergedFB options, and cannot do so.The best I can do isgenerate errors about failed to open framebuffer device and MergedFBmode disabled.But X still starts.I can't generate any message about failed to load kernel module, or any other messages about the radeonkernel module.Fernando, you may want to try X -configure, which will auto-generate aconfiguration for you based on the things that X.org detects.You canthen test it with X

First, a big thanks to all who replied.
I've followed the http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml instructions for
configuring portage to use distcc. Should I need to continue with the
instructions for working with automake?
Portage does this automatically as long as you have the corresponding
FEATURES enabled.
This is what I was hoping to hear.
Also, how do I tell the faster machine to just use it's own power and not
attempt to use the slower one?
When you run distcc-config --set-hosts on the faster machine you want to
exclude the slower machine.
I tried so far, getting distccd running on both machines, each
distcc-config --set-hosts has one IP entry, that of the other machine. Is
this right?
You may want to include localhost.
Interesting... I wonder why?
I ran distcc-gnome and saw no activity reported on the faster machine when
emerging something on the slower one. So, it would seem it's not working.
Can anyone give me some hints? The manpage for distcc doesn't seem (to me)
to be much related to the gentoo how-to... '-)
TIA,
#!/bin/bash
source /etc/make.globals
source /etc/make.conf
export DISTCC_DIR=${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/.distcc
exec /usr/bin/distccmon-gnome
So, I just installed a package on the faster machine. It did try to use
another, but found none and compiled locally, but spit out an error. Maybe
adding localhost will fix this?
I tried emerging the same package on the slower machine and running this script
above. Nothing came up in it. However, I noticed that each time the compiler
went to run something, there was network activity. 'top' on the faster machine
showed distccd working and launching the compiler, afaict.
So, I have to wonder if/why the monitors don't work for me...
Next time I'll just set the debug level and log location to see what actually
happened.
Thanks again, foax.

Re: [gentoo-user] Baselayout update blasted my wireless networking
Somewhere around Mon, Jun 20, 2005 at 01:10:46PM -0400, a message from Bill Rucker went like this: I've tried the preferred_aps_eth1, associate_order_eth1 route and did not have any luck with that, just a different error message. I've also tried the essid_eth1 any trick, still no love. However, I rebooted my laptop for the first time in a few days and found that it would no longer work manually anymore!!! I kept getting messages about an invalid option when trying to set the key with iwconfig. So to make a long story short, I took the key which looked like 112233445566778899aabbccd and made it into 1122-3344-5566-7788-99aa-bbcc-dd. Then iwconfig stopped complaining, dhcpcd worked and I was in. I modified the wireless script but have yet to try it out. I'll report back when I get some work done. Once I got rid of the force modules and added back the preferred aps and associate order, it worked!! Finally. The format of the key seemed to be highly important in getting this to work. The key itself was correct, just had to add in the dashes. Bill -- Protect your computer - Browse with Firefox!

Re: [gentoo-user] SOLVED: evolution locale
for those who came in late: The problem was evolution wasn't using the locale I'd set when started form the panel, but it was correct when started from a gnome-terminal. The solution is to put locale settings in /etc/profile (I used LANG, but you could use probably use any combination of LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE LC_MEASUREMENT LC_IDENTIFICATION or LC_ALL). I previously had them in /etc/bash/profile, which worked for bash, but not for gnome et al. so the last line in /etc/profile now reads export LANG=en_AU and evolution shows the correct (localised) date format.

Re: [gentoo-user] problem starting KDE
Fernando Meira wrote: Although I have a few errors while starting X, they do not make X fail (as I think). After starting X, the problem arises when loading KDE with the following message: -Could not read network connection list. /home/nando/.DCOPserver_nandux__0 Please check that the dcopserver program is running. snip This, as I could find until now, is due to problems with my /home partition (fat32). With a new user (with homedir in the linux partition) everything goes fine. For this problem, I can't find solution.. Ah, I think have the answer for this. FAT32 doesn't support 'special' files such as device nodes, fifos, and sockets. That .DCOP... file that KDE needs to create is a socket. The solution for this is to put the users' .kde directories on a filesystem that supports sockets. You might be able to accomplish this through an environment variable, to tell KDE where the users home KDE directory is...search around the KDE documentation for this. You could also use the 'loop' driver to create a filesystem in a file and mount that at ~/.kde. I've tried many mount option with full permission to everyone, but scripts don't run properly (such as useradd and something within the X startup). Well, I have no idea why scripts won't run. Are you sure this is what you mean to say? Can you create your own script and execute it as a user? Sockets, device nodes, etc. I can understand...but not being able to execute any shell scripts is very strange. Now, the errors when starting Xorg: Yes, I think I have conflicts between xorg and the kernel configuration. I've attached my xorg.conf file (the one I adapted after running Xorg -configure I commented the font problem, the DRI section and added some lines in the keyboard and mouse inputs). From what I could see from your xorg.conf, mine got somewhat less detailed :( That is to be expected...I added most of those options by hand. But it should not have configured 'Driver ati', since the ATI driver has no support for 'Radeon' chips. The 'radeon' driver has support for the M6 (Radeon 7000, at least), so I think that line should say 'Driver radeon'. You can just delete all of the commented-out options. For info: I have a ATI Mobility M6 Well, the good news is that the basic driver should give you 3D hardware acceleration. I'm not familiar with the M6/RV100/Radeon 7000 family of adapters, and what the hardware capabilities were. But if the hardware supports 3D, the opensource drivers should as well.
