[gentoo-user] q: how to make gentoo site sync for greek users
plan to make a site sync to gentoo, but with easy download greek translations, my problem is I want to make it like gentoo.org, Greek users do not participate easy in open source, I am not programmer, but I can make linux work in most pc's, so now I am looking for a way to make an Greek Gentoo installer, I think if I manage the site in next 2 months, I can start sync portage by March, and in summer I maybe have done the basic job, by then I hope people to help, of course all this I want to be add to gentoo, not a fork, or another one distro around, my problem is the how to start, any opinions pls welcome. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Java emerge problem
Hi,
while doing an emerge --update --deep world
I get the error message
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:
dev-java/java-config:2
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-java/java-config-2.0.33-r1', 'merge') pulled in by
('binary', '/', 'dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.03', 'merge')

('binary', '/', 'dev-java/junit-3.8.2-r1', 'merge')
('binary', '/', 'dev-java/commons-logging-1.1-r4', 'merge')
(and 20 more)
Looking at dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.03.ebuild I cannot see where
there is a dependency on dev-java/java-config-2.0.33-r1 .
I had to unmerge dev-java/sun-jre-bin before emerge --update --deep world
Can somebody please explain this to me?
Many thanks,

Also, I just found by googling that there is dhcp client called net-misc/pump which have --win-client-ident option. I'll try that too. I wonder if my similar problem is related to what you report here: I am using dhcpcd and ifplug with my ADSL router, which acts as the dhcp server on my LAN. For some reason ifplug does not always manage to get an IP address from the router and I end up with an APIPA address. /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop/start gets it going again. This problem only occurs if I disconnect and then reconnect the ethernet cable. No such problem exists when I boot the machine with the cable already connected to the NIC. I haven't changed timeouts or anything else from the dhcpcd defaults. I have always attributed this problem to a somewhat slow dhcp server on the router. As a note: WinXP machines do not have any such problem. Even though they may end up with a APIPA address, they will in minute or so drop it and acquire a 10.10.10.XXX domain address from the router. dhcpcpd does not seem to have this flexibility. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Actually, as long as the interface is up, you can sniff traffic even if it does not have an IP address.

Start capturing packets, run dhcpcd from the command line (or whatever DHCP client you use), and see what goes on the wire. You should see DHCP discovery/offer/request messages, or maybe not all of them if things are not working correctly. For each DHCP packet, look at the DHCP payload details from wireshark (you can save the capture for later viewing too). Then, start windows, install wireshark for windows, and do the same. To force a DHCP negotiation in windows, open a command prompt and issue an ipconfig /release followed by an ipconfig /renew (IIRC). Look at the traffic captured after the /renew command, and look for obvious or blatant differences between windows and linux in DHCP packets of the same kind. Thanks for the info. I'll try that. Also, I just found by googling that there is dhcp client called net-misc/pump which have --win-client-ident option. I'll try that too. Regards, Marko -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] loopback mount hard-drive image created with dd?
Another hack you can try is use to use '--offset' option of 'losetup'. First figure out from which byte, NTFS partition starts in disk image, and then you create a loopback back device for that image and the starting offset using 'losetup' and finally 'mount' the loopback as NTFS partition :) . Here's more detail on how to do that # losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/diskimage # fdisk -l /dev/loop0 (example) Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 11044 8385898+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sdb21045 19457 147902422+ 83 Linux suppose you want to mount the partition on sdb2, the offset for that would be 8225280 * 1045 = 8595417600. detach the disk image # losetup -d /dev/loop0 and setup the loop for the partiion # losetup -o8595417600 /dev/loop0 /path/to/diskimage and mount it # mount -t fstype /dev/loop0 /path/to/mountdir Please do post your results, if you're successful :) I second that, I'm curious to know if it works oh, and make a backup just in case :) -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] loopback mount hard-drive image created with dd?
Stroller wrote: Hi there, Before installing on a new laptop which came with Vista pre-installed I took an image of the hard-drive using dd. (ie: `dd if=/dev/sda of=/ mnt/sdb1/disk.img`, where /mnt/sdb1 was a portable USB hard-drive). Obviously the intention was that if I b0rked things up I could just `dd` the image back onto the laptop and all would work as the manufacturer shipped it, but I'd now find it useful to be able to take a look inside the image and examine a few files. Is there any way to do this, please? I'm fairly confident that there were originally a couple of partitions on the drive, and the one I want to look at will be NTFS, of course. I know that a CD iso I can mount using `mount file.iso / mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 -o loop`, but is there an equivalent for whole partition tables? Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advices, Stroller. Try this... modprobe loop modprobe ntfs mkdir /mnt/iso mount -t ntfs /path/to/your/iso /mnt/iso -o loop,ro Assuming the iso is ntfs and you have loop and ntfs as modules... Cheers.

OK... It just got through my dense head! He has multiple partitions in his disk image, not one What I proposed will fail in that case, but will work with just one partition in the image...
