I must be missing something here. When I did the pretend downgrade it pulled kdelibs down one version too. So I want to make it so that kdelibs and kate will stay at 3.5.5 versions. This is what I added to package.mask: =kde-base/kate -3.5.6 =kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.6-r2 That will mask those versions, and only those versions. The next upgrade of either will be emerged. Is this what you want? I think so. I just want kate to stay at that version because it is borked. Since kdelibs is a dependancy, I assumed I needed to mask it too. That way if there is a new release it will upgrade and hopefully it will be fixed. However, this is what happens when I check for updates: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # emerge -uvDp world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies \ !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ~kde-base/kate-3.5.6 have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - kde-base/kate-3.5.6 (masked by: package.mask) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. (dependency required by kde-base/kdebase-meta-3.5.6 [ebuild]) See this line above? It says that kdebase-meta-3.5.6 requires kate-3.5.6 but that can't be fulfilled because you masked it. I see two viable options: 1. Put up with it and use vi instead (this is the recommended one...) 2. Make your own local copy of kdebase-meta-3.5.6.ebuild and put it in your overlay. Modify the ebuild the use any kdelibs and kate 3.5.5, this should satisfy the dependedcies. The other option is to downgrade all of kde to 3.5.5 but that's just overkill :-) alan Well, I like nano better but not if I can use something GUI. ;-) That option is not exactly what I am hoping to use. I don't understand portage and ebuilds well enough to do that. How about this. Is there a way to just tell emerge to emerge each separate package and get rid of kde-meta? I don't know, equery list kde then poke them in one by one. Would that let it leave kate and kdelibs where it is without masking all of kde? Thanks for the reply though.

The guest OS uses the same CPU as the host, with the exception of the number of available cores. If there are 2 or more cores on the host, including virtual ones through multithreading, the guest may use 1 or 2 cores.

On Tuesday 06 February 2007, Dale wrote: I don't understand portage and ebuilds well enough to do that. How about this. Is there a way to just tell emerge to emerge each separate package and get rid of kde-meta? kde-meta is, well, as meta package. All it does is tell portage to emerge all the dependencies, and that turns out to be all 300 individual kde ebuilds. kdebase-meta is the same thing on a smaller scale and only for the basic stuff. You could 'emerge -avC kde-meta' and all that would happen is the -meta package gets removed, leaving the deps in place. However, they aren't in world so your next 'emerge --depclean' will want to remove them. Few people actually use all of KDE, so a good compromise is to figure out what you actually do use and emerge just those ebuilds Have you read the kde split-ebuilds HOWTO at gentoo.org/doc lately? It's all in there, but it's a lot of info so it's useful to refresh the old memory every now and again I don't know, equery list kde then poke them in one by one. Would that let it leave kate and kdelibs where it is without masking all of kde? I just tried this test: masked kate-3.5.6 unmerged kdebase-meta emerge -pD world and it went crazy with blockers. Portage wanted to emerge kdebase-3.5.5 (not the -meta) one and that was bloked by all the kdebase packages at version 3.5.6. So it would seem there are some hard coded blocks in place, which is sensible as mixing KDE app and lib versions willy-nilly is probably not a good idea... Thanks for the reply though.

[gentoo-user] dhcpd and routes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
I have a Gentoo server that is running Cisco VPN software to connect to
my companies VPN. I have setup the server as a NAT for the specific
subnet required for the VPN and the rest of my traffic goes through my
router (192.168.1.1). I currently have to manually run the following
command to setup the route:
route add -net 10.4.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.200
On my Gentoo server I run dhcpd to allocate IP addresses for machines on
my LAN. The current configuration is:
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.199;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
}
So the question is how can I setup dhcpd to automatically setup the
route command for all clients using the dhcpd?
Cheers,
Dave.

(I had some trouble posting this message the first time, so I
apologize if it appears twice)
Hi, last fall I spent some of my summer earnings on a ThinkPad X41
tablet, and have been loving it ever since I installed Gentoo on it.
There is one thing I have not yet been able to make work, though, and
that is wifi. This is probably due to a combination of my own lack of
wifi-related experience and the fact that my school (the only
practical place I have to use wifi) seems to use a horrendously
complicated setup .. I have heard that others with this laptop have
managed to make wifi work.
I have been trying different things on and off for a few month now,
but the fact is that I have very little idea of how to configure wifi,
and there seems to be little documentation that I can find which is
relevant to this situation. I've decided that there's little left to
do except bug all of you with my problem =(.
My school has some Windows/Mac setup instructions here (scroll down a bit):
http://rorschach.concordia.ca/neg/remote_access/wireless/
They mention Xsupplicant in relation to Linux, but once again I find
myself way out of my depth. . .
lspci lists my wifi card as:
04:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG
Network Connection (rev 05)
I am using the ipw2200 module, and the wifi card shows up under
iwconfig as eth1.
Hi I have X41Tablet too, although with the 2915ABG wifi chipset (because
of the built-in bluetooth ;-) but it uses the same driver and should
work in the same way (I used to have R51 with 2200).
As for the wifi, there are basically 3 different modes, unencrypted, WEP,
and WPA (there are many kinds of WPA, but that doesn't really matter in
the way of configuring it under gentoo w ipw2200).
For the unencrypted and WEP cases, all you need are wireless-tools and
gentoo initscripts, good examples are in /etc/conf.d/wireless. You
configure few things for the whole interface (such as preferred_aps) and
others per access point (essid) such as encryption key and actual tcp/ip
configuration. Gentoo initscripts than choose an access point in range
and connect to it.
Just put these into any of the relevant config files ( wireless, net,
net.eth0 or net.eth1 depending on which is your wifi, all in
/etc/conf.d):
# this should be default and thus not needed
modules_eth0=( iwconfig )
config_ESSID1=( dhcp ) # not needed too
key_ESSID1=abcdefabcd
config_ESSID2=( 10.0.0.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 )
routes_ESSID2=( defualt via 10.0.0.1 )
...
Then just start the interface...
As for WPA you need additional software to do the encryption (well, to
the key exchange and such stuff...). The best choice now is
wpa_supplicant. In the /etc/conf.d/net.eth0 just put
modules_eth0=( wpa_supplicant )
and relevant config_ESSID and probably routes_ESSID (for dhcp you can
just leave it). To set up the WPA options you have to edit
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.
There are many ways to do authentication/key exchange in WPA, from the
windows configuration on the page you mentioned it seems that you need
LEAP authentication (used by cisco) or PEAP + MSCHAPv2. The relevant part of the
wpa_supplicant should look like this:
network={
ssid=REftRW2d
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=LEAP
identity=user
password=pass
}
or for PEAP+MSCHAPv2:
network={
ssid=REftRW2d
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity=user
password=pass
# this shiould not be needed
phase2=auth=MSCHAPV2
}
I haven't actually used LEAP myself, so this is only a guess, feel free
to google for LEAP wpa_supplicant, or try asking people that managed to
get it running on your school.
As for the essids (ssids), under root, just run
iwlist eth0 scan
to see the list of wireless networks in range (or use some graphical
utility). wpa_supplicant uses to power down the wifi, so you may need to
do
iwconfig eth0 txpower on
to see some results.
If you need more help, feel free to mail me off list...

Well, I'm trying to mask this so it will not upgrade when I do updates.
I must be missing something here. When I did the pretend downgrade it
pulled kdelibs down one version too. So I want to make it so that
kdelibs and kate will stay at 3.5.5 versions. This is what I added to
package.mask:
=kde-base/kate-3.5.6
=kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.6-r2
That way if there is a new release it will upgrade and hopefully it will
be fixed. However, this is what happens when I check for updates:

(dependency required by kde-base/kdebase-meta-3.5.6 [ebuild])
Do I need to mask kde-meta too or is there some other way around this??
scratches head
Bringing kde-meta up to version 3.5.6 is going to want to upgrade ALL it's
dependencies to 3.5.6 (which includes kate).
To maintain different versions of of the various KDE packages, you'll need
to
remove the kde-meta package. To make sure 'emerge -u world' (or a
variant),
pulls in new version of other packages, you'll want to 'emerge -n' the
various direct dependencies of kde-meta (kdenetwork-meta etc).
I doubt kate is a direct dependency of kde-meta (I could be wrong). If it
isn't, one (or more) of the other kde${stuff}-meta packages will also try
to
upgrade it. Instead of 'emerge -n'-ing those packages, 'emerge -n' it's
direct dependencies (one of which should be kate).
You may actually find some packages that you don't care about, feel free to
not 'emerge -n' them. They will then not be updated by an 'emerge -u
world'
and my be removed be 'emerge --depclean' (unless they are a dependency of
some other package in world)
In fact, I recently removed all the kde${stuff}-meta packages from my
system
and only installed the KDE applications I wanted. This might result in
significant disk space savings, but YMMV. I now have ~90 packages from the
kde-base category instead of the ~350 pulled in by kde-meta.

[gentoo-user] Performance problem at writing big files and Multitasking
Hi all, i have bought components to assemble a new PC by myself. This are the main components. Mainboard: ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 (Intel(r) 945P) CPU:Core 2 Duo E6600 (2400 MHz) RAM:Transcend DIMM 2x1 GB DDR2-667 (1024 MB) Harddisk: Western Digital Caviar SE WD2000JD (200 GB) [Sata] DVD:Samsung SH-S183A (18 / 8 / 8 fach) [Sata] Graphics: Giga-Byte GeForce 7300 LE 128MB GV-NX73L128D (128 MB) Network:Gigabit (10/100/1000 MBit/s) I have managed to get all the stuff i want to work with gentoo. On one hand my new machine is very fast. Here is an example from genlop genlop -i openoffice * app-office/openoffice Total builds: 1 Global build time: 3 hours, 1 minute and 47 seconds. Info about currently installed ebuild: * app-office/openoffice-2.0.4 Install date: Tue Jan 30 04:34:33 2007 USE=branding cairo cups dbus firefox ldap sound pam -binfilter -eds -gnome -gstreamer -gtk -kde -odk -webdav -debug CFLAGS=-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer On the other i recently recognized when i doing some video editing i.e. demultiplex the movie with projectx which shows the speed of writing video and audio to the disk. It writes about 200MB with about 25MB/s then it halts for about 2-3 seconds and starts again writing data to the disk, after another 200MB it halts again and starts over again and so on. I also recognize the same behavior when i multiplex the video and audio together with mplex. What could cause this problems Also when some one of this tasks is running and i want to do some multitasking, the system reacts very slow on executing other programs. For example if i try to open just an editor by the start menu. The menu seems to be frozen and did not react at once also it took very long for the editor to load. I thought of wrong settings in cflags, or a wrong kernel config maybe the sata-controller or other things which may cause this problems.

[gentoo-user] Open Office 2.0.4 and fonts
Greetings; I just upgraded Open Office from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4 (yes, I'm behind). Now, I can't use any of the fonts other than the ones which come with Open Office. All my existing fonts which I added were being substituted with other fonts. I emptied the directory /usr/lib/openoffice/share/fonts/truetype and tried to reinstall, as root and then as user (using spadmin). Still doesn't work. I tried copying the fonts over manually. Doesn't work. I deleted ~/.ooo-2.0. Doesn't work. I tried running as root. Doesn't work. I tried all of this on my other computer, which I just upgraded as well. Doesn't work there either. I tried searching the bug list and the gentoo forum. Couldn't find anything relevant . . .

[gentoo-user] QLogic QLA2xxx driver kernel 2.6.18+
Hi all, Has anyone found a solution to how to load the firmware dirvers on boot in 2.6.18+ kernels. I read something about you need to put the /lib/firmware files into initrd. But I dont know how or where to put it in. My setup is IBM Blade Ceneter with HS20 blades (Intel Xeon cpus) with Qlogic 2412 FC card. I boot from the san so i need the firmware into the kernel. ERROR: QLogic Fibre Channel HBA Driver GSI 19 sharing vector 0xC1 and IRQ 19 ACPI: PCI Interrupt :05:08.0[A] - GSI 32 (level, low) - IRQ 193 qla2xxx :05:08.0: Found an ISP2312, irq 193, iobase 0xc2006000 qla2xxx :05:08.0: Configuring PCI space... qla2xxx :05:08.0: Configure NVRAM parameters... qla2xxx :05:08.0: Verifying loaded RISC code... qla2xxx :05:08.0: Firmware image unavailable. qla2xxx :05:08.0: Firmware images can be retrieved from: ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/firmware/. qla2xxx :05:08.0: Failed to initialize adapter GSI 20 sharing vector 0xC9 and IRQ 20 ACPI: PCI Interrupt :05:08.1[B] - GSI 33 (level, low) - IRQ 201 qla2xxx :05:08.1: Found an ISP2312, irq 201, iobase 0xc2006000 qla2xxx :05:08.1: Configuring PCI space... qla2xxx :05:08.1: Configure NVRAM parameters... qla2xxx :05:08.1: Verifying loaded RISC code... qla2xxx :05:08.1: Firmware image unavailable. qla2xxx :05:08.1: Firmware images can be retrieved from: ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/firmware/. qla2xxx :05:08.1: Failed to initialize adapter Kveðja / Regards Ásgeir Halldórsson E.C.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo VMWare image works on Intel but not AMD. Are they not interchangeable?
Daevid, If your Gentoo installation was compiled with march=p4 or the like, your image will not work on an AMD machine. The way to have them interchangeable is to use march=i686 mtune=p4, that way there are no cpu-specific instructions compiled into your binaries. mtune will just adjust the scheduling to fit the pipeline of your most used arch. The one piece of hardware that cannot be virtualized on an x86 machine is unfortunately the cpu, unless of course you're running a new cpu with Intel Virtualization or AMD's Pacifica. Even then, it can't deal with incompatible binaries. You'll not just have to recompile your kernel, but your entire system with the new cflags for it to work interchangeably.

Both are running WindowsXP as the host VMWare. Both are Pentium4. Recently, I tried to share the image with a co-worker and it pukes out about the time it does some udev stuff at the top of starting up. The (rc.init?) scripts start breaking and spewing lots of errors and ultimately doesn't mount the filesystem properly. We are able to manually mount it later, but then lost of other things are broken. VMware doesn't have any errors we could find, not even in the logs. It seems to be an OS issue. Does the host CPU make a difference? I thought it was all emulated? I tried to recompile the kernel with the generic '386 CPU settings and removed all power mgmt etc, and the same issue happens. Can I not transfer between Intel and AMD CPUs? Is there some magic thing in the kernel I need to set so it can work on both? We attempted several times and tried using VMWare player and also VMWare workstation. It would really suck to have to have him re-compile everything just to get the same dev environment setup as mine. I also posted this on the VMWare forums in case anyone cares: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=71079 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Jason Weisberger [EMAIL PROTECTED]

At least now when the next newbie makes the same mistake you are in a position to help them in return :-) Just curious... but does genkernel automatically mount /boot? I use genkernel, and have never had any issues, but I'm pretty sure that I've always mounted /boot before running the genkernel command. Yes, genkernel mounts /boot right after launched... genkernel *conditionally* mounts /boot if /etc/genkernel.conf contains MOUNTBOOT=yes It can be unset with the result that /boot will not be mounted automatically alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
