You probably did not emerge php directly, but had it pulled in by some other 
ebuild. This means it won't get picked up in an update. Try:

emerge -DuNpv world

and it should rebuild PHP too.

[gentoo-user] [OT] m-audio delta-66 connections

2006-03-01 Thread Harry Putnam
Just on the off chance someone is using a delta-66 card to record via
samba or whatever.

Getting the sound available at the recording software.

I was unable to fathom out how to connect out-bound ports to in-bound
thru the delta-66 control panel.  If for example you wanted to record a source
that is on the computer where delta-66 is installed, like from a live
radio broadcast your accessing from a web browser or etc.

Is it just done the hardwire way with physical wires from out to in?

Use a process viewer to see what is chugging through the usage. It probably

Section Module

You might like to run revdep-rebuild -p and pay special attention to any 
graphics stuff that is broken. Im also running the same chipset and it goes 
flawlessly with that driver version.

Other posibilities, longshot but worth checking are sound (especially artsd in 
kde), and gtk support (firefox dependancy).

PS you did run 'opengl-update nvidia' right?

[gentoo-user] RAID 1+0 question

2006-03-01 Thread Marton Gabor

Hi!

I'm going to recieve 4x250Gb SATA disks to our new server, and my first
idea was to make 2xRAID1 and then make 1xRAID0 out of the RAID1 arrays
using Linux software raid so that I have our data mirrored and still I
can use 500Gb storage space and handle it as one big disk.
So my questions would be:
   - could someone give me a good howto? Sorry, but I have never had
the chance to make a RAID array before and I have no experience and
Google doesn't seem to be helpful in this case.
   - do I need to make a /boot partition which is not part of any
arrays or will grub boot from raid1+0?

I'm looking forward to your ansvers.

[gentoo-user] NIS Problem? sshd: error: Could not get shadow information

2006-03-01 Thread Alexander Skwar
Good afternoon!

I just finished installing a new Gentoo system and find, that I
am unable to logon to the system using my normal user account
with SSH. When I try to do so, I get the following in my syslog:

Mar  1 13:45:13 dewuga01 sshd[3519]: error: Could not get shadow information 
for vz6tml
Mar  1 13:45:13 dewuga01 sshd[3519]: Failed password for vz6tml from 
10.233.9.167 port 49724 ssh2

We are using traditional NIS with NO shadow database. Thus,
the password is in the passwd encoded, like this:

vz6tml:2ELy4sdBohRGM,7.QR:1100:3000:Alexander 
Skwar,CTCW:/u/vz6tml:/usr/local/bin/bash

root (and also any other non-NIS-User, I suppose) is able to
logon with SSH. With telnet (netkit-telnet) I'm also able to
logon using my normal user account - but I'd rather not use
telnet.

When I use a SSH public key, I can login just fine. But I'd
also like to be able to use my password to login.

On a different (older) Gentoo system, everything works just
fine.

What might I have to tune, so that the new system also
behaves the way I want it to?

Thanks a lot,

Alexander Skwar

[gentoo-user] Problems with the GLI on the x86 2006.0 LiveCD

2006-03-01 Thread Kevin
Hi List-

Some hardware issue requires me to boot the subject CD with either the
nodetect or nohotplug parameters.  Without one of these, the boot
process hangs when detecting pnp hardware.  I suspect that the cause may
be one of the two Digium PCI cards that I have in the machine, but not sure.

So I'm booting the LiveCD at the grub prompt with this command:

gentoo-nofb nohotplug

Happily, in spite of this, my NIC is being detected and the correct
(tulip) module is being loaded for it automatically.

However, the curses-based GLI is failing on me constantly at the stage
where I manually configure the NIC.

I've tried this many times, and every time, the installer program fails
with the words:

The setup program seems to have failed

That's all I get.

I've also tried setting up the network manually by editing
/etc/conf.d/net and starting up the network, then starting sshd, then
remotely logging into the box and running the installer that way.  That
method gets me past the network config part of the GLI, but I've found
that the installer crashes at various other points also: when I try to
save the XML profile and a few other points that I've just learned to
try and avoid as I walk through the installer steps.

But I'm at the point now where I've run the installer 15 or 20 times and
every time it ends the same way, with the error message above.
Sometimes it ends this way at the network config step, other times it
ends this way at other steps, but it always crashes.  Plus, I can't find
anywhere in the script that it allows me to set mountpoints for the
partitions that I've created.

Is anyone else seeing this and can anyone recommend a work-around?  I'd
be happy to share my dmesg output or any other details if someone thinks
it would help improve the installer program.

Since the 2006.0 handbook assumes that I'm installing with the GLI, it
seems that my only other option for installing is with the minimal CD
and the general installation handbook.  If anyone has other ideas on how
to install from one of the 2006 series of CDs, I'd very much appreciate
learning of them.

TIA for any suggestions.

-Kevin

You can make /boot on raid too, but only raid1. Dont forget to
compile raid1 support into kernel, not modules. You can make
/dev/md0 for /boot out of 4 small partitions (sda1,sdb1,sdc1,sdd1).
All other partitions can be on raid0+1 or any other combination.

My own opinion: if I had 4x good 250GB sata drives, I'd probably
do raid1 for /boot, and raid5 for rest...

Yes. Basically that's what mount -o loop does internally before mounting it to 
a filesystem; you just have to set up the loop device separately.

For info on that, do a man losetup, basically what you need is:

losetup /dev/loop0 myimage.iso

and tell VMWare to use that loop device as a CD-ROM block device.

YMMV though, as a true CD-ROM block device supports IOCTLs which the loop 
device can't/doesn't.

Did you load the alsa-modules before launching kde?

Try /etc/init.d/alsasound start as root and then have a look what dmesg is 
telling you and whether /proc/asound/cards contains anything different from 
a empty string.

Second, your should configure your kde to use alsa. Go into the control

Good luck

Re: [gentoo-user] libungif?

2006-03-01 Thread Alexander Puchmayr
Hi David!

I assume you made something like a emerge -u world, which replaced your 
libungif by giflib. 

Unfortunately, some applications (especially other libraries which depended 
on libungif) have a reference to /usr/lib/libungif.la in their .la-files.

First step: make a revdep-rebuild [-p]

If that does not help, you have to locate those 'nasty' .la-files which 
cause your problems:

find /usr/lib -iname '*.la' -exec grep -nH libungif {} \;

It should report some files containing libungif. Determine the package which 
they belong to by 

equery belongs .la-file

and re-emerge these packages. Then re-emerge kdegraphics.

Greetings
Alex

[gentoo-user] Extra IDE card, drives out of order

2006-03-01 Thread Wes Gray
I added an extra IDE controller card so I could get a 5th drive.  It's a
Silicon Image chipset (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE).  When I boot into the kernel
with the module included the kernel sees the IDE channels on the new card as
the first ones and the existing IDE channels on my motherboard as the
additional ones.  So to the new kernel it sees:

/dev/hda (newly added drive)
/dev/hdb (no drive)
/dev/hdc (no drive)
/dev/hdd (no drive)
/dev/hde (my old /dev/hda)
/dev/hdf (my old /dev/hdb)
/dev/hdg (my old /dev/hdc)
/dev/hdh (my old /dev/hdd)

The kernel tries to boot off the first drive on the new controller card
instead of my boot drive, which is odd because the kernel that is running is
read off of my old /dev/hda which the new kernel sees as /dev/hde.  So the
BIOS and Grub see them in the correct order.  Hope that makes sense.  Perhaps
I could fix the problem by moving all of my drives to the new IDE card, not
sure and that's not my preferred solution.  My kernel is vanilla 2.6.15.1.

Thanks for any help.

I don't think that will work.  The rules would reside in /etc on my boot drive,
and the kernel would never see them because it isn't seeing the boot drive
as the boot drive, it sees it as /dev/hde.  I think the change has to be
something in the kernel.

You can make /boot on raid too, but only raid1. Dont forget to
compile raid1 support into kernel, not modules. You can make
/dev/md0 for /boot out of 4 small partitions (sda1,sdb1,sdc1,sdd1).
All other partitions can be on raid0+1 or any other combination.

do raid1 for /boot, and raid5 for rest...

Yes, of course. RAM is random-access-memory and in the case of DRAMs
pretty volatile when not powered :-)

If you have 256MB of NVRam to install an OS on it, the relevant
question is: Is this accessible via some controller or emulation as a
block device? That question can only be answered if you get more
specific regarding that NVRAM...

Yes. ROM is a WORM medium (write once, ready many times). The data
stored in a PROM (programmable read only memory) is literally burned
in by applying high-voltage pulses to the chip.

There's also EPROM (eraseable PROM) which can be erased by exposing
the chip to ultraviolet light, and EEPROM (electrically eraseable
PROM). If we're being pedantic, ROM is a misnomer for these, since
they're not really write once.

NVRAM (non-volatile random access memory) is similar to EEPROM in some
ways: it can be written and erased many times, and maintains its data
even when power is disconnected. MRAM, FRAM, etc. are forms of
NVRAM. Flash memory is I believe a more modern form of EEPROM. They
all differ in the physical technology used on the chip, and have
different properties, such as how many times the memory can be erased
and rewritten, how fast writing and reading is, etc.

Also, Wikipedia says:

...there is a convention to reserve the term EEPROM [for] byte-wise
writable memories compared to block-wise writable flash memories.

 I think I mis-spoke when I said ROM; because it's actually Non Volatile Ram.

You *could* have meant PROM, but NVRAM sounds much more likely ;-)

[gentoo-user] can't compile audacity

2006-03-01 Thread Matias Grana
hi all;
I need some help on this one:
I can't emerge audacity.

If I try to do it, it first pulls wxGTK 2.4.2-r4, and then complains
about wxGTK being compiled with unicode support. So it tells me to
re-emerge wxGTK with USE=-gtk2.
If I do this, then wxGTK complains. So I have to emerge it with
-unicode. And then I get the following error:

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../libwx_gtk2-2.4.so:
undefined reference to `vtable for wxFileProto'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[1]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/audacity-1.2.1/work/audacity-src-1.2.1/src'
make: *** [audacity] Error 2

If I use  -gtk2 -unicode, then wxGTK tells that I should at least
USE=wxgtk1. When I do it, then audacity again fails on compilation with
the same error.

What should I do here?

Thanks in advance,

 get the error message that there is no such file or directory.

The shell (that the script starts) doesn't know about smb protocol.
Konqueror has code that talks smb.
You might be able to script smbclient with expect or something but 
assuming you have this USB device setup as a windows share:

One way would be to mount the disk locally using cifs.  See 
`man mount.cifs' for details but the syntax looks like this:

From /etc/fstab (This is all one line in fstab)
//harvey/harvey-c  /mnt/harvey-c cifs noauto,username=reader,\
credentials=/etc/samba/CifsCredentials

Those are `UNC' paths like you would use with smbclient. (But not
Kanqueror). 

A command line might look like:

  mount -t cifs -o user=reader%XXPASSWDXX //harvey/harvey-c /mnt/harvey-c

The directory /mnt/harvey-c has to be created ahead of time.
The user reader needs to have an account on that windows machine.

You'll need a windows user account username and password.  If you
don't use passwords for windows shares I think you can just leave out
the %SECRET_PASS, but I'm not sure exactly.

Once the device is mounted locally you can read/write to/from it in
scripting, then umount it at the end of the script.

Re: [gentoo-user] Nvidia hangs Xorg

2006-03-01 Thread Mark
i had the same problem, even when i would switch back to VT1 it would be
a black screen, so i uesed the drivers from nvidia.com and it worked
fine, seems to be a problem in portage

 Hy there,
 
 I'm playing around with the nvidia kernel-modules and glx-drivers for x11 for 
 a while.
 First all works fine, but using mozilla-firefox crashes the x-server after a 
 while. Let
 me give you an example: Running firefox works, going to google as well, but 
 going to
 http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors and click the link 4.1 Moving 
 focus between screens
 hangs the display. I can still move around the mouse-cursor, but everything 
 else is locked.
 
 Logging in to my system remotely by ssh, I can find the X-proccess taking 
 nearly 100 percent
 of cpu-time. By restarting xdm the X-system comes back correctly.
 
 Now I'm back using the default nv-driver of the xorg-project, because that's 
 the only way of sending
 this email without x11 hangs. In the future I want to use the dual-head 
 function of my geforce fx5200
 for a video-beamer. Is there another way without using the original nvidia 
 drivers or has somebody
 a hint about that nasty error?
 
 thx,
 jonatan

Re: [gentoo-user] hard lockups w/nfs, md raid5

 Also try the memory test script from here, but it does pretty much
 what you were describing...massive IO and memory bandwidth test:

I don't believe it is a memory, IO or hardware problem (at this
point).  I ran the above test simultaneously with stress --io 10
--hdd 10 for several hours.  No problems.

I believe the problem is NFS locking up the machine.  If I run the
same stress program on a client machine, where the working
directory is NFS mounted to the server, then I can cause a lockup
almost instantaneously.

Has anyone else seen hard lockups like this with NFS?

Any fixes?

Thanks,
Matt

[gentoo-user] /dev/dsp missing?

2006-03-01 Thread Wes Gray
Something I did caused sound to quit working.  On starting KDE I get an
error about /dev/dsp missing.  It might have been caused by me setting
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL to no in /etc/conf.d/rc, but I set it back to yes
and it didn't help.  Thanks in advance for the help.

[gentoo-user] cups and parallel printing

2006-03-01 Thread Glenn Enright
I strugglung to get my hp720c printer to work under my latest install.
I have tried many things as follows... 
 * emerged ghostscript, foomatic, pnm2ppd, and cups
 * fiddled with kernel settings re plugnplay related to a bug mentioned ealier 
on the list.

I can print to files in whatever format, and I im leaning towards a fault with 
the kernel or device that is being created. Even sending text to the device 
doesnt work. odd thing is that cups knows what the printer is and where it 
is. It just wont print anything.

The printer does work, I had it going under an older knoppix build 3.??. So 
that must mean all the hardware is fine too. Starting to pull my hair out 
here after no printer for several weeks. Can anyone help? Pretty please?

Did you add alsasound to your default runlevel? rc-update add alsasound 
default.

Is /etc/init.d/alsasound running?  My /dev/dsp goes away when I stop
alsasound, and it comes back when I restart it...

That was it!  I added it to the default runlevel and problem solved.
I wonder why it was working fine until recently?

THanks!
