[gentoo-user] [OT] laptop desktop serial connection don't work on one direction
Hi all, I have a problem connecting my laptop to my server at home with a serial cable. I have cable end for /dev/ttyS0 and 2 cable ends for /dev/ttyUSB0. This lets me test the connection between all serial outputs. Desktop1-minicom - Desktop2-minicom works with all connections, i.e ttyUSB0 - ttyUSB0, or ttyS0 - ttyUSB0 and viseversa. So when connecting 2 desktop computers everything works as expected. The problem: When I connect my laptop to any of those desktops, I get just one way connection! If I swap the sides of the cable, the one way connection switch side. The laptop doesn't have ttyS0, so it have to be connected via ttyUSB0 When I swap sides, it is just between two usb dongles. The usb dongles are PL2303 both sides. Settings of minicom is 38400 8n1 Hardware Flow Control=OFF Laptop setserial: setserial -a /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB0, Line 0, UART: 16654, Port: 0x, IRQ: 0 Baud_base: 460800, close_delay: 0, divisor: 0 closing_wait: infinte Flags: spd_normal Desktop1 setserial: setserial -a /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 3000 Flags: spd_normal skip_test setserial -a /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB0, Line 0, UART: 16654, Port: 0x, IRQ: 0 Baud_base: 460800, close_delay: 0, divisor: 0 closing_wait: infinte Flags: spd_normal I tried to add the skip_test but this seems to be not working.

Thanks! - Mark Mark, I haven't played with my iPod touch yet, but the older models all worked with gtkpod. You might need to tell gtkpod to open the ipod by pointing it where it is mounted. Menu: Edit - Repository/iPod Options Then click on Add new repository/iPod and fill in the details for your iPod. (The backup-file is in my home-dir on my desktop for mine) Any files you manually copy to the iPod will NOT be picked up as a database file needs to be updated as well. Apple also has this annoying tendency to change the DB-structure for every version and gtkpod needs to have specific support for your model for it to work. -- Joost

I believe I read that on their Wiki and was going to try and find the link at www.gtkpod.org to verify that but the web site isn't responding right now. I'll double check that later. The iPod she has is a First Generation version. It won't run iOS more recent that 3.x so she cannot get any of the newer features with iOS5 like NetFlix movies. (At least as far as I can tell so far. I haven't checked that out very much yet.) My real need here is pretty small. I was trying to find something nice for my wife 'cause she's been doing nice things for me, but there's no rush on this. My personal interest was really because I've got a Kindle Fire coming in a couple of weeks which I want to use to watch movies when I'm donating blood. (I do that a lot because my blood is pretty unique.) Anyway, I figured out Handbrake for ripping my DVD collection and was going to use the iPod to test the video playback. Anyway, I can probably do that from a Windows VM, or worst case boot my laptop into Windows and do it native if required. Thanks for your help. I do appreciate it. Cheers, Mark

Anybody know what to do with it?

I don't use emacs so running: emerge -pv emacs (wants to pull the following pacages on amd64) [ebuild N ] app-admin/eselect-ctags-1.13 8 kB [ebuild N ] app-admin/eselect-emacs-1.13 0 kB [ebuild N ] app-emacs/emacs-common-gentoo-1.2-r2 [ebuild N ] app-editors/emacs-23.3-r2 [ebuild N ] virtual/emacs-23 0 kB just check which one you have installed and pull down the one you are missing. -- Joseph On 11/06/11 11:56, Zhang Jun wrote: # emerge -pvutDN world These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

[gentoo-user] emerge --update won't solve bind?
I'm getting an emerge error that bind has unmet requirements.
Command:
emerge -v --update --deep --newuse --ask @world
Result:
wolves ~ # cat eme.log
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
