Re: [gentoo-user] Nvidia Drivers. =(

[Fabio Scaccabarozzi]

You can drop it in /etc/portage/patches/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers folder,
portage should take care of the rest when you emerge the package. You
should see 3 lines near the prepare phase, before the configure phase,
saying something like "applying user patches from... Applying
...Done applying user patches"

Hi Alan,

That is expected with 4.10 kernels.
You can grab a patch from my /etc/portage repository:
https://github.com/fsvm88/gentoo-portage_etc/blob/master/patches/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/378.09-4.10-rc8.patch

I took it from the NVidia forums, you can also find it there, I just
rebased it for portage.

Re: [gentoo-user] The sudden disappearance of ....WHAT??? (I/O error on a SD flash card?!)

[Fabio Scaccabarozzi]

Hi tuxic,

That looks like an output from photorec. Generally photorec only reads the
whole disk block by block, when it finds information in the filesystem's
metadata - either inode table or inodes themselves - you're lucky and you
get filenames, otherwise you only get that kind of output. Consider that
all those items might as well be deleted items, so you might be getting
back a lot of cruft.
I never had to use the functionality so I cannot comment on how good it
works, but testdisk allows you to restore partitions by scanning the entire
disk/image searching for superblocks and partition metadata. That might
give you a chance of restoring the superblock of the partition and
salvaging at least some part of the data. See a guide on testdisk's
official website -> http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
Consider that by default ext4 partitions should have superblock backups
spread out at fixed intervals during the filesystem creation, so this
should work better than trying to blindly carve the data out of the
partition.
Before applying fixes to the image file make a backup in case something
gets screwed up :-) Testdisk might detect additional stuff that looks like
partition info, but it's not.

[gentoo-user] anyone tried gentoo with f2fs yet?

[Fabio . baumeler]

hi everyone

has anyone been able to install amd64-gentoo-minimal with f2fs from the livecd 
successfully? 

I tried to do so but failed when trying to mount the filesystem. following 
error occured: 

The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong 
device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not 
/dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

I'm using a brand new ssd. there has neither been installed a filesystem before 
nor did I create a NTFS partition. 

does the error occur because the livecd is using kernel 3.7.10 and f2fs is only 
available with kernel 3.8.X and later? If so, could I just try to install 
gentoo based on another livecd which is using kernel 3.8.X?

thanks for any replies.

The best way to install Gentoo is the old way.  You will learn a lot
about Linux that way too.  If you just have to, you can install some
binary based OS like Mandriva on a separate drive and use it to install
from then erase Mandriva after you get everything sorted out.  The plus
to that is you can use Mandriva to search the forums when a problem
arises.  It does have web browsers too.

Just a few thoughts there.

thanks Dale! I currently use ubuntu and Debian now. I try to install the

To know what causes this, it would be nice to know what kind of network card 
eth1 is. Googling for this suggests that it may be an r8169-based card, 
though the bug that caused the PHY reset until link up bug was solved in 
kernels =2.6.14. If it is such a card, you may be using an obsolete minimal

Hi All,

I am not sure if you know the publickey authentication method, so
there goes an unnecessary explanation:

If you register the id_dsa.pub contents in the file
/home/mic/.ssh/authorized_keys in the server, then the publickey
authentication method returns success, what means, you enter the
server without typing your password. The debug messages suggest that
publickey method failed because you did not register the key.


debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug1: Next authentication method: password
==

I find it confusing.  First of all I do not have a id_rsa.

You can generate one with the command ssh-keygen and using the default
statements.


Second, my id_dsa
is my private key not my public key.  My public key is id_dsa.pub

No problem, ssh respects that completely.


Is this a server configuration issue, or something to do with my Gentoo set
up?

PS. Not sure if this is relevant but although my user name on the server is
mick, for reasons better known to him the sysadmin has created my home
directory as /home/mic - could it be that sshd is looking for /home/mick?

sshd looks into /home/mic on the server side.

Make sure of two things:

wpa_supplicant_wlan0=whatever -d

2. That you start the net.wlan0 service as

/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 --verbose start

Optionally, you can also run

tail -f /var/log/everything/current

Re: [gentoo-user] iptables configuration problem

[Fabio A Correa]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

Hello Wu,

Instead of the commands you posted, you should use

echo 1  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.8.0/24 -j MASQUERADE

Long explanation:

The first command enables the kernel to _forward_ packets from eth0 to eth1 and 
vice versa. To
do the actual forwarding, the second command is used:

- --table nat : Network address translation table.
- -A POSTROUTING for altering packets as they are about to go out, after it is 
determined that
they are to be forwarded by means of the first instruction.
- -j MASQUERADE Masquerade the addresses of computer in the subnet with the 
address of the routing
computer.

The kernel takes care of the subtle details on masquerading.

I hope this helps!!!

Re: [gentoo-user] How can I know which package needs to upgrade without using emerge --sync?

[Fabio]

Well, when I started with Gentoo Linux almost a year ago, I emerged
--sync more than twice per week. I never experimented any damage or
error. However, I do not advise people to do it so frequently just
because they will not find updated versions of their favorite packages
as often as I thought initially. Today I emerge --sync once every
week.

Now I advise people to keep their systems synced at least once a
month, not because their machine necessarily needs to, but because
after much time with no emerging --sync, you'd see your computers
spending one or two days downloading and compiling the updated
packages, and that is really annoying.

Here is a suggestion to have painless updates:

emerge --sync
emerge --update --deep world

the --deep flag will ensure a throughly revision of dependencies.


How can I know whether I really need a sync and upgrade my system if a new 
kernel or glibc is released?


There are several guidelines no one really invented, but may be handy:
o Whenever you find a bug in your favorite programs, there will be a
big chance they are fixed in the latest versions;
o Whenever you navigate a forum or post in a mailing list asking for
help with your favorite programs, there is a low-to-moderate chance
you get the answer That only works with version x.x.x or above or so
o From time to time, new programs are added to the Portage tree and
someday you will find yourself wanting to give a try to a program you
do not have in your machines' tree.
o If you need to have your machine secured against vulnerabilities,
you definitely need to emerge --sync every two weeks at least.
o When a new kernel version is released, there is no need to update
everything. Actually, what I remember is that I just emerge the new
kernel version, compile and reboot.
o When a new glibc version is released, there is a number of packages
directly depending on it being updated, but no so many. So this one is
not really a guideline.

Sascha's method is easier. Credits to her.

Re: [gentoo-user] 2.6.19-r5 kernel disaster

[Fabio]

I think you did not enable the Unix Domain Sockets in your make menuconfig:

Networking -
 Networking Support -
   Networking Options -
  Unix Domain Sockets

This is the same thing Devon was talking about.

Hi group,

After running make menuconfig 4x on a PIII,
re-emerging --emptytree world and either booting to a
highly unstable system or a maintenance login I feel
it's time to call on the authorities.

Don't even have gpm so I can't scroll the choice bits
of the boot messages.

It all starts to fall apart on the following line in
the boot console

* Starting udev...

then

udevd[367]: init_udevd socket: error getting socket:
Address family not supported by protocol
error initializing udevd socket
udevd[367]: main: error initializing udevd socket [!!]
...
* Checking root filesystem...
Failed to open the device '/dev/hda3': No such file or
directory

* Filesystem couldn't be fe fixed :(  [!!]
Give root password for maintenance

/dev/hda3 is reiserfs and reiserfs support is
configured into the kernel as is ATA and IDE support.
/etc/fstab is the same one(modified for different
partitioning systems, of course) I've been using for
years. /etc/fstab is not the problem.

Yes, I did this:

File systems ---
  Pseudo filesystems ---
[*] /proc file system support
[*] Virtual memory file system support (former shm
fs)

And have baselayout-1.12.9.

When I chroot from the livecd(2005.1) everything seems
to work; the modules all load, the software works etc.

So, I'm at a complete loss.

FWIW, when I do boot the maintenance console and run
udevstart the system crashes forcing a reset.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on HP HP Pavilion dv6305us

[Fabio]

Hello Adrian,

I have installed Gentoo on a HP Pavilion 6258SE. Maybe some of the
instructions apply to your box, too.

There is no need to be so strict about the model and specifications;
most guidelines for the dv6000 series will apply to your machine.

Also, be the first to post the dv6305us results on linux-laptop.net
and tuxmobil.org!

Howdy, I've done some googling but no useful results yet.  I'm

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Compile gcc reboot my laptop!

Hey! How about emerging gcc while NOT being in KDE or even X?

You should also check that there is plenty of space on the partition
where /var resides.

 Strange...Could you know this problem ?

 It sounds like faulty memory to me.

 Run memtest86 for a day or two -- or at least overnight.

I've also seen problems like that caused by a bad sector in a
swap partition and a bad disk controller card/cable. Since it's
a laptop, another possibility is overheating due to faulty
fan-speed control.

IMO, there's a 95% or better chance it's a hardware problem.

RAM is the easiest to test (and the easiest to fix), so start
there.

Re: [gentoo-user] Beryl

[Fabio]

Well Samir, that is a very weird glitch, but we all experience
instabilities when using beryl. I have a similar experience: In KDE
control center, I configured Lock Session with the Win+F6 keys;
sometimes, Beryl interprets this key as Show Desktop because it is
previously configured so, but otherwise it is Lock Session. It is
possible that there are similar conflictive assignments to the hot
corners of your screen.

Another instability consists that sometimes Emerald dies for no reason.
