[gentoo-user] Need help networking two machines.

2007-01-12 Thread Dale
Hi

I have done this before.  Maybe something has changed because I can not
get it to work now.  My main rig is called smoker.  The second rig is
currently booted off the CD.  I plan to use my main rig to sync and get
distfiles off of.  This is off smokers /etc/conf.d/net file:

 config_eth0=( 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
 192.168.0.255 )
More info from smoker:

Now the info from the second rig is a bit hard to get.  I can't exactly

all you want.  LOL  Second rig is the same setup except it is set to
address 192.168.0.2.  I did restart the network though, on both rigs.

Route returns loopback and that is all.  Looks suspicious to me.  It
doesn't have iptables installed on the CD.  I guess there are none.

Oh, to test the cable, I set both to the same address.  When I tried to
bring up the network, it gave me a error that the address was in use or
something like that.  It saw it at least.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  It has to be me.  It almost
always is.

Thanks for the help.

I suspect you don't have a proper module for your network card loaded

Well, for some reason dns lookup for those sites fail.  What happens 
when you put distfiles.gentoo.org in a web browser?  You could also try 
pinging the repositories first, and if they get though, try emerge 
again.  If emerge still fails, I'd try adding them to the host file with

Can you try doing ping www.google.com at the command line? Does that work?
 
If not check /etc/resolv.conf as with some routers you need to manually specify 
DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf.

Okay i got it to work.  It turns out /etc/conf.d/net was not setup to see
the router.

I just looked it up on the Gentoo Linux Doc and routes_eth0 was not set up
so I added
routes_eth0=default gw 192.168.1.1
to the end of the file, restarted eth0 and everything works now.

Thanks for the help.

And you are writing your email also in your browser, right?

Taking all the above into account, the conclusion is:

1. Your browser is configured to use a proxy, and the proxy server is given by 
IP address.
2. Your box lacks a default route.

It's a logical AND between 1. and 2. ;-)

When I type in ifconfig, it says it is up and running fine with the

correct module as far as I can tell.  It's the 8139 module.

When I ping from the CD booted computer to smoker, I see data in gkrellm

It looks like this is error in random Makefile, there are series of

What else can couse these errors?

 I don't see anything obviously wrong.  It looks like the problem
 appears when autoconf/automake are run to generate the Makefiles.
 Searching bugzilla for similar things leads me to believe that the
 nls USE flag and non-english language settings could have an effect
 here.  Another similar bug was traced to the version of sed being
 used, but that was quite old.  However, all of the relevant bugs seem
 quite old.

 Still, you might try:

 LINGUAS=en en_US emerge wine

 If it is still broke, take a look at (and/or post)

[gentoo-user] telling hpaio / sane what scanners are present

2007-01-12 Thread Allan Gottlieb
Two problems identifying scanners

ajglap ~ # scanimage -L
device `hpaio:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1200?device=/dev/usb/lp0' is a hp 
HP_LaserJet_1200 multi-function peripheral
ajglap ~ # 

This is wrong.  I do indeed have HP laserjet 1200 attached via usb,
but it is a printer not a multifunction device.

The second problem is that there is on the network (at location
192.168.1.50) a real multifunction device, HP officejet 7310.

This is not found.

Add'l info

When at another location with no laserjet but with a USB multifunction
device (officejet 7130 -- not 7310), all is well.

If at the original site I try scanimage without -L, it faults (see
below).

thanks in advance for any help,
allan

Just because you're using a browser to read and write mail, don't
assume others do. Trim down the output to the relevant part (here: some
dbus functions aren't found, compile fails) and put it in your mail,
and ask the question you want to be answered.

My suggestion: run revdep-rebuild, but maybe re-emerging dbus and hal is

I don't have much experience with USB devices or how udev handles
them in /dev.  All my experience which is quite limited would suggest
that it is still a permission issue.  You could find the (ephemeral)
device file(s) and check the perms on them and then issue the groups
command to check against.  My guess is you still have a permission
problem that is more likely due to /etc/groups than to /etc/udev.d.

you may have to relogin as your user to apply the new group settings;
you may also have to be in the USB group; you may also have to unplug
and replug the scanner once after you add yourself to those groups.  

Just to be clear, I use Xsane and an HP Scanjet, i think 4300 C,
something close to that, and permission issues like this don't effect
root, so that would be agood way to test.

 I am actually in the process rebuilding the system from scratch again.
 Install completed, and things upgraded.

I'll email my xorg.conf that works with my ati-1900 as a reference.

 So which would best be first, xorg, or the ati-drivers?

Um, I'm not sure it matters. Try ati-drivers first and it 
may want to pull in xorg first. In that case, the answer is
org. If not, it does not matter.


Remember, at some point, after you build a kernel, you have
to run modules-update, but surf the various gentoo web pages
on Ati to get that answer.

follow the main gentoo web page:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
http://odin.prohosting.com/wedge01/gentoo-radeon-faq.html
this last pages says that your 9550 card is supported by 
the ati-binary driver.


I'll try and help you thru this, but, realize I'm not whiz
at ati-driver obscurity issues.

That said, keep a precise log of what you do, what fails and 
what works, and maybe between us, we can develop a simple
ascii text file that works and is current.

I'll be back online in 3-4 hours to check your progress.

Hang in there,

[gentoo-user] managing 802.11a/b/g

2007-01-12 Thread James
Hello,

I managed to intall madwifi-ng, wpa_supplicant and rebuild the
kernel with cryto, so far.

The hardware in this protable is:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212
802.11abg NIC (rev 01

wifi0 Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr
00-18-4D-4C-0C-9B-7B-B6-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

  RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

My question is there a  gui to manage the wireless 
connection and should I add an iptables script to secure
the machine when accessing variouls networks with 802.11?

Also, does any gui manage/control the dhcp handshaking that
occurs at various location, which is the same gui that monitors/manages
the wireless connect and firewall(iptables)?  possibility
would be a wireless (static) ip at site where access occurs frequently
in lieu of dhcp. Is that a gui that one can use to manages all of the
various common configuration choices, or is it a roll_your_own
type of management for 802.11 type devices.


Googling does not produce much:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Wireless_Configuration_and_Startup
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Wireless
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_ar5212

that is specifically related to managing and using the wireless interface.

I did modify it in an attempt to solve the problem, but the problem showed up

 Was this problem since your inception to Gentoo?

No,  I've been running Gentoo on this system for 2 3/4 years.  I've been using

If you can use NetworkManager you'll find it rocks.  I use it on Fedora

Portage currently does not store any information about where a package was 
installed from. Therefore the best you can do is manually inspect the output 
of `eix --installed-overlay`. It will show all packages where the version you 
have installed exists in any overlay (and you can see if they exist in the 
tree too). That, however, only implies that they might have been installed 
from that overlay..

It does require app-portage/eix-0.8.x. Also if you use update-eix-remote you 
better (re)move the eix database (/var/cache/eix) and regenerate the database 
with `update-eix` first or you will get a lot of false positives. IOW you 
need the eix database to only contain installed overlays.

Now, I don't think xkbd strictly needs libxcb (it builds just fine 
on my other computer which has an older version of libX11 with no XCB
support), so I think that *something* is screwed up with this
computer. 

For background, I orignally installed libX11-1.1.1 with the xcb
useflag on, thinking that it wouldn't hurt. Then it turns out some
other program (outside portage) does not play well with libxcb, so I
turned it off and recompiled. It seems to me that my computer somehow
got the idea that -lX11 should still link to libxcb_xlib

Can anybody help?

Thanks,

Anyway, it occured to me that even though libX11 is no longer linked

After rebuilding libXpm, libXtst and libXft (I don't actually know

app-portage/gentoo-stats

So yeah, that works. :)

IMO the real solution for your problem, however, is a package manager with 
true multiple repository support allowing you to control from which 
repository you want to install a given package. I'm not sure if pkgcore is 
there yet (since I don't follow it too closely), but paludis is. Paludis thus 
also stores information about which repository a package was installed from.

With portage if the same ebuild or eclass exists in any of your overlays and 
in the tree then the one in the tree will just be hidden to portage behind 
the overlay. That's why they are called overlays in the first place.. ;)

True, you hit the problem right on the head.  That is exactly what they
do.  But what I had noticed is that they change that thing a lot.  Since
I am on a really slow dial-up here, I check for updates, sync, every
couple days or so.  While I know that it comes from Google and I don't
question the tarball from a security point of view, portage still
complains about it each time and deletes it for me, since it thinks it
is a security problem.  That would normally be a great idea but then I
have to download it again, which takes a little over two hours for me.
I get about 10Mbs a hour here.   goes to have a good cry 

Plus, it is a pain in the butt to have to manually do the digest thing
every time I sync up too.  My solution was to remove it from the world
file, since portage had already deleted the tarball and I didn't want to
download it again to do a oneshot install.  Now the only drawback is
that --depclean -p tells me it is not needed since it is not in the
world file and is not a dependancy.  I do that manually anyways so it
doesn't matter.

I'm no guru but if he wants it out of overlay, he may want to emerge it
as a oneshot at least.  Then just check for updates on occasion.  I had
to use the --digest option too when I installed it.  That way it assumes
it is OK and doesnt' check it.

Hope that makes sense.  Maybe . . . .   LOL

Well, I tried the other way around, not updating as often but I have it
all planned out now.  The problem with waiting is that it builds up.  I
would hate to sync after a month or so then find out OOo and KDE was
updated, plus some otehrs for good measure.  Just OOo takes me about 24
hours to download.  Yes, I get the compiled version.  This is Gentoo
after all.  ;-)  Plus, I ran into a config nightmare.  To many updates
at once for me.  I'm not a guru.

The way I do is this, I connect around 10:00PM, check my emails and
sometimes the weather.  Then I start the sync process and tell it to
fetch the new stuff afterwards, got to love the .  While it is doing
that, I go for my nightly soak in the tub.  I have a skin disorder and I
have spent several hours in the tub.  This works well because at the
very least the fetch has started and sometimes it has been fetching for
a while.  It depends on how many things are updated and how long I soak. 

As for googleearth, well, dial-up has taught me patience.  It works, it
just takes a really long time to get there.  Sometimes another soak in
