[gentoo-user] [OT] DIY Small Footprint NAS (low Power)
Hi all, IS there anyone here who has made/hacked together a little NAS Box? Something like the buffulo Terrastation would be nice. I don't want to use a full fledged PC to hook up JBOD (just a bunch of disks) I want (would like - to be more polite) someway to do JBOD, which can be turned on/off as needed and connect it to the network.

If you can mount the ext3 partition in cygwin and you can use wget then I dont see why you can't do so, setup the basic system and then see if you can chroot it. I havent used cygwin extensively though. Lets us know how it progresses.

Re: [gentoo-user] logmail - need fully-qualified address
Has anyone got this new elog mail module working? Or perhaps the elog custom
module. I just attempted to enable the custom module instead and insert this
elog command:
PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND=echo -p '${PACKAGE}' -f '${LOGFILE}'
/tmp/logprocessor
These modules are enabled:
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM=save custom syslog
For these classes:
PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES=info warn error log
After a successful emerge I get the corresponding logfile, output is printed
to the syslog, however, the custom module prints nothing:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /tmp/logprocessor

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or can anyone direct me towards some
proper documentation. What I have done so far has been based on

Re: [gentoo-user] php uncompatible with nis USE flag?
I solved this problem. It appears that emerge wasn't giving me all the errors that it should have. When I turned on the --debug switch, I found that there was an error that was never displaying to my screen which indicated that the USE flag recode is incompatible with some other flags, like mysql and nis. So I added -recode to the /etc/portage/package.use entry for dev-lang/php. emerge then gave me an error about a conflict between the USE flags sharedmem and threads (though that's not a conflict for other packages, that I've noticed). Adding -sharedmem to the package.use entry allowed me to build the package. Why would that error message not have been making it to the scrren? Thank you.

Re: [gentoo-user] Getting udev to create tun devices
Robin Atwood schreef: I need a device /dev/net/tun to use with hercules. tun is defined in the kernel and the traditional mknode method works fine but I loose it after a reboot. After a bit of research I added: # tun device for hercules KERNEL==tun, NAME=net/tun to /etc/udev/50-udev.rules but it doesn't seem to hack it. :( Anybody any ideas? TIA -Robin. Hey, Robin, I don't know what, if anything, is wrong with your rule, but I'm almost sure you're adding it to the wrong file. (from a Linux Format article about udev): - Making up the rules The rules are contained in files in /etc/udev/rules.d. The default file is usually called 50-udev.rules. Don’t change this file as it could be overwritten when you upgrade udev. Instead, write your rules in a file called 10-udev.rules. The low number ensures it will take priority over any definitions in the default file. - Basically, the 50-udev.rules file is the system default rules (managed by Portage, in that if udev is updated, this file will also be updated), local changes should go in 10-udev.rules (which is unmanaged by Portage, I believe). Anyway, it's possible that not using a higher-priority rules file to create this rule is part of your problem, either because another rule in the 50 file overrides it, or because your rule is being removed everytime you update udev, which has been happening a lot lately. Hope this helps until somebody with more familiarity with that particular device and custom udev rules comes along. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

(I only mention this because some reviewers have mentioned that the WPS54GS doesn't work with some USB printers.) As a datapoint I tried the Netgear PS121 USB print server and it was failed with my Canon Pixima ip3000 under both Mac OS X Windows. These things mostly seem very flakey Windows-centric and it sounds like you're lucky to have a good one with the Linux Linksys. http://www.netgear.co.uk/usb_print_server_ps121.php Stroller. Unfortunately I have no wireless printer server experience, but the following response may provide some supporting information: Unlike Stroller's experience above, the PS121 works like a dream with Cups and the HP DeskJet 930C printer (hpijs driver). I think that I have written something here about setting it up, but I can't access the link right now to check: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_930C Also there is a Netgear compatibility list which is pretty incomplete, but at the bottom of the page there are some printers which categorically fail to work with netgear print servers: http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101216.asp Most of these are CAPT and GDI printers which rely on proprietary command sets and will not work with simple print servers like the PS121. Additionally, the PS121 will not support anything else other than the printing function of All-In-One printers. Not only that, but faxing, copying, etc. would probably require that the PS121 is disconnected and perhaps the All-In-One printer rebooted. Bi-directionality between printer and computer is not always supported by the PS121 server - in my setup it is not supported either on Linux, or M$Windoze. Please let us know what you find on the wireless front, although I suspect that it ain't going to be cheap, especially if your printer is of the CAPT/GDI variety (mind you, it doesn't look as if it is). Proprietary printer servers are 4-5 times the cost of a simple TCP/IP PS121. More if you want wireless connectivity on top. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

First - does the DIRECTORY exist? Logrotate will not create directories.

[gentoo-user] console dispaly
Since I have inslalled gentoo I have a problem. My X works fine but I
have problems with consoles. When I press F2 during system boot I can
see everything. But when my KDE 3.4 starts I can't read the text in my
6 consoles (CTRL+ALT+F1-F6). I can enter them but I can't read the
text because my screen is distorted. I will try to explain what I see.
I can see the text I'm typing but I can't read it because the letters
seem to blink and flash all the time. That is about the left half of
the screen, whereas the right half looks like a bad copy of the left
one with even worse disturbances included. Has anyone had any simmilar
experiences and does enyone know how to solve them. Those disturbunces
are sitll there while I turn off or reboot my computer.
I have a Fujitsu-Siemens laptop Amilo pro v2000. I have integrated GPU :
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated
Graphics Device (rev 02)
Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics
Device (rev 02)
here are my use flags in make.conf
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CFLAGS=-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
USE=dvd -gnome -ipv6

The example is wrong, because the variables are resolved when the conf

Sooo... /etc/make.conf.example contains this example:

This is a bug, right? Should be:
#PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND=/path/to/logprocessor -p '\${PACKAGE}' -f
'\${LOGFILE}'
Right?
PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND='echo /mnt/scratch/logprocessor -p ${PACKAGE} -f

will do what you want.
I don't quite understand this command but nevertheless it works. And so does
escaping the $ signs.

Is this true? The restrictions are really based on (1) the portage snapshot used when the GRP was made, and (2) your USE flags. If either change, then the GRP packages are not going to be much use to you. They are built as at a defined snapshot, so by the following week a lot of the packages will not match portage's idea of the latest and greatest. If you want to do a GRP, do NOT sync portage or change your USE flags until you have installed all you want.

The quickest way to get Gentoo installed is to do a Stage 3 install, then add anything else you need from GRP. That should get everything done in an hour or two. Then you can set your USE and CFLAGS, sync and do emerge -e world to have everything updated and compiled the way you want it, while you continue to use the computer. -- Neil Bothwick Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.

[gentoo-user] xterm big fonts
I hope this explanation is clear, i fear it won't be! I want to run a program in xterm, full screen, with one program running inside it. This program displays a curses window 42 characters wide, and I want that to fille the width of the xterm window, so that the writing in the windows is a big as possible on the screen. So I bascially need a font size that will give me 42 characters across the page at a fullscreen resolution of 720x576. I have read the man page for xterm but cannot figure out how to specify the fonts, or really where to begin.

Now (I think) I figured out how to patch it. Just copied the
portage-2.1_pre4-r1 to
an overlay, downloaded the patch to FILESDIR, added the following line to
src_unpack() and reemerged portage.
patch ${WORKDIR}/${PN}-${PV}/pym/elog_modules/mod_mail.py
${FILESDIR}/mod_mail.patch
It doesn't solve the problem at home though. As I understand it the error
message:
!!! An error occured while trying to send logmail:\n{'[EMAIL PROTECTED]':
(504, 'portage: Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address')}
is the result of hostname -d returning nothing? I don't know how to solve that
problem.
Tomorrow will show whether the patch solves the problem at the universitet
network
where hostname -d does return a hostname that has been set up correctly be the
