Re: [gentoo-user] Cannot get TV Card to work
Hi Jaimie, its obviously talking to the tuner ok, so the problems further on (maybe). Did you try and set the setnorm, setinput and setfreqtab values? I have found that some apps (such as gnomemeeting) dont always select the input you want until it eventually dawns on you that its set to something with no video feed! Does xawtv work? I have used the above to remotely tune the receiver for aatv (watch tv on an ssh console!) I didnt see what program you are tring to use to control/view the card. tvtime and xawtv seem to work well, with tvtime my current favourite - it mostly just works except when upgrades get in the way :( BillK On Tue, 2005-07-19 at 17:51 +1200, Jamie Dobbs wrote: I get this output: -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Considering how long compilation would take on this, the best approach may be to install in a chroot on a more capable machine, then simply set up the partitions and copy everything over once it is all compiled and set up. Make sure you set your CFLAGS and CHOST to match the laptop. then you only need to run grub to set up the bootloader and you're away. Another advantage of this approach is that you can emerge updates in the chroot with --buildpkg and NFS mount the PKG DIR on your laptop, so it can install from binaries. -- Neil Bothwick I've got a mind like a... a... what's that thing called? pgpjR1ukvvPBs.pgp Description: PGP signature

Yes. In the ebuild it says -

I hadn't seen that message - but then again, when I installed fcron the
/etc/cron.* stuff wasn't especially important to me... so I might easily
have ignored it at the time. It's a pity this sort of essential
warning isn't available for all packages as some kind of Gentoo
knowledge base - I guess I could read the ebuild files - but it would be
far more convenient to have tips/tricks/gotchas available annotated with
each package - say on http://packages.gentoo.org/... Hmmm.
In any case, thanks - crontab /etc/crontab seems the perfect resolution.

I, too, have an old laptop (Dell XPi 150 CD) with no bootable cdrom. The tomsrtbt floppy allowed me to boot it, partition the disk, and to connect to the internet via a Xircom pcmcia card. It also allowed me to chroot to /mnt/gentoo. For some reason which I can't explain, though, the ethernet connection fails after the chroot. This prevented downloading of required packages. To solve this problem, I downloaded all the necessary packages on another machine, exited the chrooted environment on the Dell XPi 150 CD, brought all the packages over from the other machine to /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles via nc, then re-chrooted and continued emergeing.

simple pg_set_client_encoding() call, however I don't know the right
way to do it under Perl.
Can someone shed some light? Perhaps change database encoding to
latin1? My system is all unicode (utf-8) here.

However, because it's kinda-half-binary based (there's a Club which you can pay to join to get access to a repository of pre-compiled binaries, and I think I read an announcement that it was finally up and running, though presumably still small), because of the backend needed to support Anaconda, and because, while Vida is Gentoo-based, yet not Gentoo, if you use it to install, things will be ... different... than what they should be (as per the Handbook, for example), and because the base system is not explicitly documented (afaik) by either Gentoo or Vida (why should it be, after all?), you are not going to know (or will have a very hard time figuring out) what 'extras' Vida might have installed that you don't need, or what aspects of the Gentoo backend you might need that Vida didn't install (because Vida doesn't need them). Basically, you wind up reinstalling the entire system again anyway, with all that implies, and while it's all very nice to do that from within an installed system than from the console (unless you had the good sense to use the Alternate Install guide and install from a Knoppix LiveCD boot, or another previously-installed distro), the result is that you get Gentoo, but without that sense of confidence that everything is correctly built, and to your specifications. I still don't know how much, if any, Vida cruft I have hanging around, some two months after I installed. And it just wasn't worth it, if I have to lose my confidence that way, to save (admittedly) a big chunk o' time. I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone else, unless they actually wanted to use Vida, in which case, good luck, Godspeed, and hope it works out. I'm a Gentoo user :-) .

[gentoo-user] safe devfs - udev migration
All, During the gentoo installation I had very nasty error messages after the first reboot. The partition table of my harddisk was unreadable and the file system could not be mounted. Installation of devfs solved it, but, as I can tell from the mailing list devfs is obsolete. **What is a safe way to migrate to udev?** I'd prefer to do only steps that are reversible, as the installation is now finished and it took a while. For your information, I have /dev support in my 2.6 kernel. Is it essential to remove /dev support? best regards, Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Digest verification Failed
It seems lately (within the past few months), I am seeing a lot more of these: !!! Digest verification Failed: !!!/usr/portage/distfiles/foo-1.2.3.tar.gz !!! Reason: Failed on MD5 verification The problem (aside from the obvious) is that portage just shits the bed and doesn't try to re-get the file (which would solve the problem more often than not). Even if I manually rm /usr/portage/distfiles/foo* and emerge it again, it's a crap-shoot if it will pass the Digest verification. Sometimes I've tried as many as five or more times this obnoxious cycle and finally said fsck it and just manually emerged the OTHER packages, hoping that in a week or so, there will be a newer version of whatever the offending package was and we can try this all over again with fingers crossed. I would use --skipfirst, but that doesn't work with emerge -Davu world... *sigh*. Anyone know why the digests are failing so frequently? Are they packaged poorly? Is it the mirror I'm getting them from? But then that begs the question, aren't the mirrors synchronized and MD5 verified with each other? Shouldn't TCP/IP be safe in that it retries a packet until it gets it -- and therefore, why is the MD5 different? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] Digest verification Failed
Anyone know why the digests are failing so frequently? Are they packaged poorly? Is it the mirror I'm getting them from? But then that begs the question, aren't the mirrors synchronized and MD5 verified with each other? Shouldn't TCP/IP be safe in that it retries a packet until it gets it -- and therefore, why is the MD5 different? I haven't had any issues with md5 sums on recent packages and my systems are updated pretty much daily (thus requiring frequent downloads). When it has happened I had to delete the file from /usr/portage/distfiles in order to fetch a clean copy. And since I'm running http-replicator I will also remove any cached copy and recycle http-replicator to ensure it is starting from a clean state. If you're using this or another cache/proxy you'll want to ensure that you clean it out before retrying the fetch. I'm not sure how the mirrors are synchronized but I would guess it's rsync based. There should not be any problems there. I don't know if they check the md5 sums on files pulled into the mirror, but I would guess they do not. I'd look at your /var/log/emerge.log for errors dealing with the fetch. Also check for filesystem errors if you're using a separate FS for the /usr/portage space; it could be a read/write error associated with the disk itself. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] whither booting into single user mode
Previously I could boot into single user mode with the following line in grub kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hdc7 single After a recent emerge sync and update of world, the above is just a normal multiuser boot. I can use kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hdc7 softlevel=single but this is not the same as booting into single user mode. For example, there are virtual terminals, and hitting ^D does not then put you into multiuser mode. I like single user mode for doing (incremental) backups each day before logging in. I realize I can write init.d scripts and will probably do so, but having an interactive shell on the way up to full multiuser mode seems useful. Does anyone know the current method of achieving what kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hdc7 single use to do a few weeks ago? Thanks, allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] After attempting fb'ing with nvidia, xfce fonts are tiny.
So I started out compiling 2.6.12-r6 with frame buffer support adding in vesafb. Tried various grub lines at various res's, got nothing but distorted console fonts (started 1/3 way over on screen w/ wrap around plus a duplication on the line at the start, only the very top line of the screen displayed correctly). Tried rivafb, not compatable with nvidia driver, tried nvidiafb, no luck. Nvidia driver wouldnt even load in any configuration i tried. So I go to revert back to a kernel without framebuffering support (also tried disabling RAM disc support needed for initrd) making NO changes to xorg.conf or any xfce settings but when I log in, my system font size appeared much smaller. This was apparent in applications like gnome-terminal, evolution, x-chat and gkrellm. Firefox and xemacs displayed the correct fonts. Application windows were the correct size, simply the fonts were smaller. After changing my modeline, disabling composite support, 'emerge -Nva nvidia-kernel' and various other solutions, no changet and various other solutions, no change was seen. was seen. My question is, you know in gnome-terminal you can select whether to use system terminal font, what font is this? it seems to be the issue. I *could* simply increase the font size in all affected apps but I shouldnt have to do that. Others have suggested expliciting setting the dpi in xorg.conf but again, I never had to do that before so why now? Right now its 75x75 dpi. I have no idea what it was before this font issue. My native resolution is 1680x1050 (17 wsxga LCD). I'm using nvidia 7667 w/ fast write, side buffering and 8x agp enabled (not the most stable i know, but has not been problematic).

I have no idea what it was before this font issue. And does this work for you? Or do you still have issues with fonts? FYI, one reason you might have to do this is because you have a high resolution display, and if X can read the actual dimensions of your display, it will calculate the horizontal and vertical DPI. I'm not sure what combinations of kernel and X.org configuration options are required for this though. You can also get the same effect from setting DisplaySize in xorg.conf. In any case, you can check the DPI that X is using, and how it arrived at that value, by checking /var/log/Xorg.0.log. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hello Holly, If you read the threads, I start out trying to k3b working. I have not used cdrecord, so it's quite possible (statistically probable) that I'm doing something way stupid here so I tried: cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -eject speed=2 -pad -data -v *.wav snip cdrecord: Inappropriate audio coding in '18133194218-14129220407-05-18-2005-11-42-.wav'. OK, two things occuring to me (though I can't say I know anything about this): 1) I was asking originally what the coding of the audio file actually was (meaning check it in mPlayer or some other audio player that will give you the details of the file itself)-- is it stereo, is it 44100 or whatever cdrecord wants, etc? It might also be useful to verify that it is in fact a .wav file and not some other kind of audio encoding that's just *named* with a .wav extension. 2) But now that I've seen that filename, I'm wondering, What happens if you rename that file? to either a) something shorter (maybe there are too many characters in the filename, if you don't have Joliet and/or other special options allowed that would let you use such a long filename), or b) to a filename that doesn't have a - directly before the .wav (I've seen it happen that applications of various types, K3b among them, choke on filenames with weird characters in unusual places, or c) both a) and b) .

[gentoo-user] P4P800 - Intel ICH5R - data recovery?
Hi, I know this isn't a gentoo related question so forgive me, but I trust on the gentoo mailing list to give me a hand... I have a Asus P4P800 motherboard that recently became useless (plain broken, don't know why, no boot, no BIOS, nothing). I had 2x120 GB SATA hard drives connected with RAID 0 using the intel ICH5R chipset included in the board. Is my data completely lost, now that the motherboard is broken? Is there a way to recover it? If I install another motherboard with the same RAID chipset will my data be recoverable or is it a lost cause?

Do you even have a floppy drive? Even so, the splash config file certainly won't be found there.

Now that we know they're /dev/fb and not /dev/fd (which is the floppy drive), I would imagine that they refer to the framebuffer devices (which are apparently not being created? or are being created too late?) Now, on my system, /dev/fb0 is a symlink to /dev/fb/0, which is as it should be-- and makes me think that this is a udev issue, as that's udev device creation-type naming. Since the devices are eventually being created (as you've indicated that your framebuffer later works), that suggests that you have hotplug creating the device late in the boot process. Do you have coldplug, which is responsible for creating the early devices (presumably like this one)? Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] fbsplash problems
Thanks Richard, So, this means you have the framebuffer device and fbsplash working...just not at kernel boot time. This probably means you do not have the right kernel options for initrd loading, or a bad grub configuration. Could you post your dmesg output...specifically looking for a line that says something like checking if initrd is initramfs...it (is/isn't)... at least for my part I got it to work by trial and error. The machine didn't like the 1400x1050 resolution, but now I'm fine with 1280x1024. Thanks best regards ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] P4P800 - Intel ICH5R - data recovery?
Thanks for the reply Colin =) If you remember your stripe size, then you should be able to plug your drives into any ICH5R-based motherboard and get your data back. Theoretically, you could plug your drives into any RAID whose BIOS does not write to the disks when creating an array and then recreate the array in the BIOS with the same stripe size. I don't know if software RAID can rebuild your array, but that seems like your best bet, lest you have a friend with a lot of SATA RAID controllers (s) he's willing to lend out. I already ordered another ICH5R motherboard (similar to my P4P800 but a new model, since my old one is not available anymore) to try that out. I'm almost sure that my stripe size is 64KB (default). If so, plugging my hard drives into the new board and creating a new array with the same stripe size will give me access to my data? Or is there the risk of loosing it all? Do you know if the ICH5R writes to the disks when creating the array? If all else fails and your data is priceless, grab a couple grand and look into professional data recovery, because unless you can find a super-geek, that will probably be your best bet. Unfortunately I cannot afford such a service, even though my data is crucial to me, they're just too expensive for my pocket. :-( José Pedro -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The Xorg log below doesn't have any errors or warnings or anything. There are no unresolved symbols as the message says. I did notice that glib was updated, but the 3242-glibc-2.3.5.log doesn't say anything interesting. I ran rm -rf /root/.revdep-rebuild.*; revdep-rebuild -av and that said I was golden, it didn't re-compile a single thing. One of the things we just discovered on this list is that newer versions of KDE are trying to use things like the Composite extension, and it is causing problems for some people (slowness was the previous case). Some things to try: 1. Disable Composite. 2. Disable DRI. 3. Try the x.org nv driver instead of nvidia. Depending upon whether and which one of those work, you will have a place to start from on more debugging. -Richard I usually use 'meld' (x-windows) for my etc-update, so I do have some files that need updating, but they don't seem that they should affect X?? Probably not...more likely opengl or composite is causing the problem for X. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Holly Bostick wrote: James schreef: Holly Bostick motub at planet.nl writes: Possibly your .wav file is in fact 'inappropriately encoded'? Does it burn if you use -data instead of -audio? Hello Holly, If you read the threads, I start out trying to k3b working. I have not used cdrecord, so it's quite possible (statistically probable) that I'm doing something way stupid here so I tried: cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -eject speed=2 -pad -data -v *.wav snip cdrecord: Inappropriate audio coding in '18133194218-14129220407-05-18-2005-11-42-.wav'. OK, two things occuring to me (though I can't say I know anything about this): 1) I was asking originally what the coding of the audio file actually was (meaning check it in mPlayer or some other audio player that will give you the details of the file itself)-- is it stereo, is it 44100 or whatever cdrecord wants, etc? It might also be useful to verify that it is in fact a .wav file and not some other kind of audio encoding that's just *named* with a .wav extension. 2) But now that I've seen that filename, I'm wondering, What happens if you rename that file? to either a) something shorter (maybe there are too many characters in the filename, if you don't have Joliet and/or other special options allowed that would let you use such a long filename), or b) to a filename that doesn't have a - directly before the .wav (I've seen it happen that applications of various types, K3b among them, choke on filenames with weird characters in unusual places, or c) both a) and b) . HTH, Holly Hi, Just my experience here. Recently changed my CD-RW with a DVD-RW drive. Had some old cdrecord-scripts with worked with former but now doesn't work with the DVD-RW. All (CD.
