Thanks in advance, Massimiliano Ziccardi http://www.ibmconnections.org/wordpress/index.php/2009/01/ibm-att-vpn-client-on-linux-ubuntu/ From the sound of it, they have their own VPN client. If you grab their package, you can probably repackage such that it'd work on Gentoo. I know that's how one would [used to] install closed binary packages like Skype. That said, it's possible they're using a combination of existing tools. Given that they're using IPSec, it may be that all you need is racoon. http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/IPsec_L2TP_VPN_server -- :wq
[gentoo-user] Network problem with linux server
Hi All. This problem is not strictly related to gentoo, however I'm sure someone here will be able to help me in some way: sorry if I bother you! I'm having a really strange problem: for some reason, everytime I reboot my server, the default gateway gets attached to the 'lo' interface, even if I correctly attached it to the eth0 device. I fixed the problem editing the /etc/sysconfig/network file and adding GATEWAY=195.75.145.1 GATEWAYDEV=eth0 however I'm not sure this is the solution: I already configured the default gateway only in the ifcfg-eth0 file! After this, I have an even worse problem: doing an ssh 195.75.145.1, I get an answer from my own server like if it was a loopback address ! Here is the output of ifconfig: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 5C:F3:FC:55:63:42 inet addr:195.75.145.122 Bcast:195.75.145.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4281 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4934949 (4.7 MiB) TX bytes:2133 (2.0 KiB) Interrupt:28 Memory:9200-92012800 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:21:8E:0A:86 inet addr:192.168.19.95 Bcast:192.168.19.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2049 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:917 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:236160 (230.6 KiB) TX bytes:99635 (97.2 KiB) Memory:97d8-97e0 loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:56 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:56 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:7714 (7.5 KiB) TX bytes:7714 (7.5 KiB) lo:0 Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:195.75.145.120 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 here is the output of ip route 192.168.19.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.19.95 195.75.145.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 195.75.145.122 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1002 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth2 scope link metric 1004 default via 195.75.145.1 dev eth0 Please!!

Re: [gentoo-user] Network problem with linux server
You are totally right: I'm not using gentoo, but I'm serching for help and gentoo's mailing list is the most technical one: I'm truly sorry for the OT. Just some hint about what could be wrong or some command to launch to understand what's wrong would be great: I'm getting crazy!! My distribution is CENTOS but couldn't get much help there, so I tried here. Thanks a lot! Massimiliano On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 12:24, J.

Re: [gentoo-user] Network problem with linux server
Already done. I asked here because I hoped someone would be able to give me some hint about why with the routes I sent in the previous e-mail pinging the default gateway it pings itself (I verified that pinging every server with address 195.75.145.xxx pings the server itself as if it was a loopback address).

Re: [gentoo-user] Network problem with linux server
Please do NOT top-post Sorry. If asking questions on how to do things on non-Gentoo installations, please always mention the distribution in your email. Ok, sorry again! What about the documentation? I have noticed that most binary distros require the use of their graphical admin tools to make any changes to the configuration. I read the documentation and tried to carefully follow it. Now I'm getting this strange behaviour and don't know what's happening. I tried both editing the config files and using the network config tool, but with no luck. I thought it was a routing problem, but as you can see, the routes I sent seems to be ok. However, I'm not a networking guru, so I don't know what to look else. Maybe the arp tables? Here is the arptables -L output: Chain IN (policy ACCEPT) target source-ipdestination-ip source-hw destination-hw hlen op hrdpro Chain OUT (policy ACCEPT) target source-ipdestination-ip source-hw destination-hw hlen op hrdpro Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target source-ipdestination-ip source-hw destination-hw hlen op hrdpro
Re: [gentoo-user] Network problem with linux server
Hi All. The routes and ifconfig seems correct to me. How is the router configured? I specifically mean, does it have any firewall configurations redirecting SSH-traffic to your machine? I don't have access to the routers, however they are used for many other servers too. Moreover, I tried the ssh command because I wanted to be sure I was pinging the right servers (for some reason they can't ping me!) and I discovered that I was pinging myself. Moreover I'm trying to ping/ssh on servers that are on the same lan and the network technician (?!) assured me there is no firewall between my server and, for example, 195.75.145.33. Another strange thing I noticed is that : 1. 195.75.146.104 (that passes through a firewall!!) is able to ping my server 2. 195.75.145.33 (that is on the same net without firewall) is not able to ping my server I have the dubt something strange happens in the routers/switch, etc. However, since I have that strange behaviour on my machine (ping itself, etc.), thay says my server is bad configured. Moreover, 195.75.145.33 is able to ping many other servers on the same net but mine. Don't know what else to do... Regards, Massimiliano
Re: [gentoo-user] Network problem with linux server

[gentoo-user] Problem with KDESU not accepting root password
Hi All!! Long time since last time I bothered you all! ;-) I googled around and found many people having my same problem, but could not find any solution. Sudo works just great on my machine, while kdesu always says 'Bad password'. Have you any idea about what I can check to fix such issue? Thanks a lot, Massimiliano
Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with KDESU not accepting root password
Hmmm. No, I wasn't. Now it works. Thank you very much! Very prompt answer/solution! Probably it's my ignorance, but, my kdesu is configured to use sudo. Why did sudo work while kdesu didn't ?

[gentoo-user] Where is pam_winbind.so?
Hi all! I'm here again, sorry! I'm configuring my gentoo linux so that it authenticates inside a windows domain. I was configuring PAM, when I found the pam_winbind.so file was not inside /lib/security. I tried reading many documentation, but couldn't find a way to find wich package I should emerge to obtain a file. It seems gentoolkit does not have such feature... Have you any idea about how can I discover wich package contains pam_winbind.so ? Thank you all for your help and your patience! Massimiliano
Re: [gentoo-user] Where is pam_winbind.so?
Thank you all. I was missing the pam flag (I was sure it was there, sorry!) However, the pfl package is masked... Do you think it would be a good idea to unmask it? Or, are there other tools than efile? Thanks, Massimiliano
[gentoo-user] Question about a strange emerge warning
Hi all. Thanks to your support, I think I got a little bit of knowledge of how emerge works, so I started cleaning my USE flags (I had lot of useless stuff...). To perform such cleaning, I started with USE=-* and than added everything I needed. It hasn't been very hard (but quite long :-) )to make things working: emerge is a really cool tool. However, I got this strange message: * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/defaults/autoconfig/prefcalls.js * /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/defaults/autoconfig/platform.js * * Searching all installed packages for file collisions... * * Press Ctrl-C to Stop * * net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.0.14 * /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/defaults/autoconfig/platform.js * /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/defaults/autoconfig/prefcalls.js * * Package 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.14' NOT merged due to file * collisions. If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole * content of the above message. If I understood, it seems that xulrunner and firefox package contains the same files (prefcalls.js and platform.js) in the same directory. Is it normal? Should I worry? Or I simply have to ignore it? What makes me worried is: Package 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.14' **NOT** merged One more question : what is the difference between www-client/mozilla-firefox and www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin ? Thanks in advance, Massimiliano
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Question about a strange emerge warning
Thank you Volker, thank you Walt! It seems that adding the xulrunner flag was the right way to go. However euse -i xulrunner says 'Build native browser integration against xulrunner instead of firefox or seamonkey' So.. do I really need xulrunner? I think seamonkey is enought for me... To answer I tried equery d xulrunner [ Searching for packages depending on xulrunner... ] media-video/vlc-0.9.10 (nsplugin !seamonkey? net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.1) (nsplugin!seamonkey? =net-libs/xulrunner-1.8) www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.14 (xulrunner? =net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.0*) but I'm not sure I've interpreted right the result... Do it means that vlc-0.9.10 depends on an xulrunner version between 1.8 and 1.9.1 if I don't have seamonkey installed? If that would be the case, I should simply emerge seamonkey, right? (Sorry for the newbie questions: I'm doing my best to become as much independent as possible!!) Thanks a lot, Massimiliano

To try it out once, you can do it like this: ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/mkinitrd/mkinitrd-3.5.7-r3.ebuild unpack change things in /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/mkinitrd-3.5.7-r3 ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/mkinitrd/mkinitrd-3.5.7-r3.ebuild merge The cleaner way would be to modify the ebuild and put it into your overlay (along with the modified mkinitrd-3.5.7-dietssp.patch), but on the other hand the bug might already be fixed anyway when you emerge the package the next time.

[gentoo-user] KDE 4 installation
Hi all. Reading http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4-guide.xml#kde_portage I found the following sentence: 8x-- KDE 4 is the current KDE version supported by upstream. 8x-- However, if I try to install KDE 4.2, it says KDE 4.2 is masked... Is it right? Do I have to unmask it to install KDE 4.2, even if it is the current KDE version supported by upstream?

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 4 installation
Thank you all a lot. When I saw that KDE4 was the current supported version, I though I had to update to KDE4, but emerge wasn't able to update from KDE 3 to KDE 4 for some reason (I had a similar problem some time ago with the monolithic package).

Thank you, Massimiliano Just to add a little more info. When it says that KDE is basically only supporting KDE4, that just means there is no more features being added to KDE3 and most likely only a few bug or security fixes. They may fix some major problem but they are mostly concentrating on KDE4. If you want to install KDE4, check out autounmask. It is a neat little tool to deal with all the dependencies that KDE4 needs. Dale :-) :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 4 installation
Hi Ben. Thank you too! Duncan brought it up out of concern that KDE3 may be masked before KDE4 is marked arch stable, and wanted to the let the AMD64 community know. That's not very nice. I can't update to KDE4 'couse it's not ready stable enough, but KDE3 could get maskedIt's seems like I'm living on the edge... :-) Maybe would be better to witch to gnome? Thanks, Massimiliano
Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 4 installation
Instead of Gnome consider something like XFCE Already tried some time ago but, for some weird reason, it gave me lots of problems... I also like fluxbox but it's probably too minimal for a committed KDE user. That's not a problem: I've used TWM, MWM and WindowMaker for quite long time too :-) It's just that I like KDE :-) I have two PC's at work: the dektop one is with Ubuntu/gnome, while the thinkpad is with gentoo/KDE.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with emerge --update
Thank you Alan. Just as an information, if it happens to something else: I've installed successfully the split ebuilds. However, after the upgrade, I had to disable UXA: with UXA Xorg didn't even start (it crashes). However (as glxgears says), FPS jumped from 500 to 1300... Thank you all, Massimiliano
[gentoo-user] Problem with emerge --update
Hi all!! I tried today : emerge --update --deep world but I get the following error: [blocks B ] kde-base/kdebase (kde-base/kdebase is blocking kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.10-r6) I'm not very expert about emerge, have you any idea about this error? Can I solve it in some way? (Please, don't ask me to uninstall kdebase :-) ) Thank you, Massimiliano
Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with emerge --update
I'm installing the split ebuild ( Very long operation.. x-/ ). Wouldn't be better to mask the kdebase monolithic ebuild, so that unexperienced gentoo linux users as I am would not spend useless hours installing it?

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with emerge --update
It's far preferable to let people like yourself suffer the consequences of not reading documentation Touched :-) However, I read the documentation. It's just that this is my first gentoo installation: I didn't get I had to uninstall the older version of the software to upgrade to the new one. Especially when it says 'We still provide monolithic ebuilds for 3.5 (up till 3.5.9) and they are ***cleanly interoperable*** with the split ones.' However, I think now I understand how it works a little bit more (but not too much ;-) ). One more thing: couldn't those 'stable users' read the documentation too, and unmask the obsolete package (if they were masked)? Massimiliano
Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with the graphic card

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with the graphic card
Hi Ward. Thank you for your clarification. Just to be sure I have undestood right. The document says: Since 22 Oct 2008, Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream naming: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel. The ebuild xf86-video-i810 no longer exists. To switch, set the VIDEO_CARDS variable to intel in your /etc/make.conf. See VIDEO_CARDS for further instructions. When it says to switch set the VIDEO_CARDS, I thought it meant since Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream naming x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel, if you want to switch to the old xf86-video-i810, set the VIDEO_CARDS variable to intel So, your answer made me a little bit confused about that 'if you want to switch'. Maybe they mean 'if you want to switch to the new x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel'? But, if Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream naming: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel, isn't that the default one? Surely I miss something...

If I don't define that, I should use the new name (xf86-video-intel). Do I get any improvement using the old one (and, is that a good idea?) ? No, it says you should set that variable regardless of what driver you use. Ward
Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with the graphic card
Done. After that I did: emerge -av xf86-video-intel killall -1 X However, performances didn't change much... x...@localhost ~ $ glxinfo | grep render direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer Other ideas? Thank you, Massimiliano It just means that you need to change the VIDEO_CARDS to include intel. So, what you need to do is set VIDEO_CARDS to contain the string intel. With this variable, gentoo controls which drivers are being built when you emerge xorg-x11, mesa, etc

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with the graphic card
I'm close to the solution. If I run glxinfo | grep renderer as root, I get direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel�� GM45 Express Chipset GEM 20090114 while, if I run the same command as a simple user, I get direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer So I think that's a permission problem now. Have you any idea? Thanks a lot, Massimiliano
Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with the graphic card

Thanks a lot, Massimiliano Hi. What driver are you using with your graphic cart? Try x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.1.1, but this driver works bad with compiz. But you get better performance. Intel developers rework their driver and provoke this problems with performance. Soon there will be all good.

Ward I don't understand which older driver do you mean... Intel rewrite their driver. And there isn't any good support for linux by their driver at now. As I know they start rewrite thier driver from version 2.1.1 or so. Version 2.1.1 not good but with it I have reached best performance.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with the graphic card
Hi Adam. Thanks for your help. I read that document a while ago. It says I need : 1) gentoo-sources 2.6.29 + : I'm ok, my version is 2.6.29-r5 2) xorg-server 1.6+ : here I'm too old. I have 1.5.3-r6. however, emerge says that 1.5.3-r6 is the latest available 3) xf86-video-intel 2.6.1+: I have 2.6.3-r1. Do you think it wold be a good idea to upgrade xorg, even if emerge says I've the latest available version? Thank you, Massimiliano On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 5:01 PM, Adam Carter adam.car...@optus.com.auwrote: That diference definately explains poorer 3D performance in gentoo compared to ubuntu. IIRC GEM is a very new feature in the 2.6.29?? kernel, so at a minimum you'll need to enable it in your kernel, to be able to use that feature. There may be other things you need as well You'll probably want to run the very latest version of the intel driver, to try it, add the following to /etc/portage/package.keyword; x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel ~x86 if you're running 32 bit or x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel ~amd64 if you're running 64 bit, then emerge it again Have you read http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA?
