[gentoo-user] glsa-check script
has anyone written a script that checks for glsa security updates and then has it auto emerge the packages it needs to get rid of the security risk? if so i would be very interested in looking at that script. Keeping 5 gentoo machines up to date security wise is becoming very time consuming. thanks Nick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Using that fixed my wireless up and allowed me to get my battery status. I think it all had to do with irq sharing and conflicts. Try booting up with the irqpool kernel boot option or the acpi=off boot option and see what you get.

I have done 3 different installs of gentoo, recompiled different modules for the network card etc to no avail. how is it that it can work with ubuntu and suse, but i cant get the darned thing to work in gentoo, the OS i really want on my laptop ;-) any more ideas? thanks Nick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you are using udev, and have configured the kernel for hotplug
support, this should not be necessary. The kernel will generate the
appropriate hotplug events, and udev will create the device nodes.
also, what if it detects a drive as sda, and i want it to be sdb? is
there a way i can tell it what i want to be sda, sda etc? without
actually having to move the drives around?
Write udev rules to create persistent device names.
An example:
BUS==usb, KERNEL==sd[a-z]2, SYSFS{serial}==30005AF6,
SYMLINK=%k, NAME=backups%e

Re: [gentoo-user] tracking the life of an email.
Most of these components will issue messages to syslog using the 'mail'
facility. If you configure your syslog daemon to route messages from
this facility to, say, /var/log/mail.log, you'll have all of the info
you need.
If you're using syslog-ng, the following addition will do this for you:
destination mail { file(/var/log/mail.log perm(0644) ); };
filter f_mail { facility(mail); };
log { source(src); filter(f_mail); destination(mail); };

Re: [gentoo-user] Missing Keyword
Use /etc/portage/package.keywords (with an actual keyword, instead of the default ~ARCH) or your local overlay. what is the actual keyword if it doesnt have one? just add it to my package.keywords file and add the arch to it? i dont see how that would work. However, a missing keyword (like neither amd64 nor ~amd64) indicates that the ebuild has not been tested on that architecture. If the ebuild DOES work, report it on b.g.o.

[gentoo-user] apache and php
i know there has been alot of reconstruction with the php files in gentoo in the past, had alot of problems with one of my old web servers, horde wants php5 everything else doesnt. well ive setup a new server, decided i would install horde right out of the gate and let it pull down what it wanted and hopefully avoid any problemsWRONG. i have nothing even php related installed and this is what i get when i -pv the emerge: burtha linux # emerge horde horde-imp -pv These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

[gentoo-user] raid/partition question
just wanted to ask before i mess something up. i have booted off the install cd, created a raidtab with my mirrored drives on it. i have created the raid. now, do i go in and setup the partitions i want on that raid? or should i have done that before creating the raid? so instead of having one big mirror and then partitioning that, do i need to create my seperate partitions and then mark them as fd and then create each raid seperate? i think im confusing myself here. can you partition a raid device aka /dev/md0? when i look at it in fdisk it shows the partitions of both drives (they are the same). if i partition md0 and try to write the table i get : WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot. Syncing disks. did i just set myself up for failure? or is it going to work? im doing this install remotely so i really cant reboot to see if its going to work, but i dont want to continue with the install if im just wasting my time. thats why im asking here to be sure. this is on sparc hardware, but i dont think that will make a difference.

One for sda the other for sdb. I can not mount either. I assume this is because Knoppix is seeing each drive individually instead of the one logical striped drive it is. Is there some magic I can perform at the boot prompt to get Knoppix to see the two individual drives as one logical striped drive? I can't recover the data from booting Windows because it's all screwed up and reboots itself shortly after logon. Thanks, Drew -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list what about safe mode? or an overlay install? or even the recovery console? i know that doesnt answer your knoppix question but i deal with that crap everyday and i have tried using knoppix a few times and it had problems with the ntfs partitions. where would you put the data once you got it? its booted off the cd, so even if it was a burner how would you burn something when the drive is being used? a flash drive possibly. but probably the easiest way to get that data (sorry to say) is get winders functioning again, get your data, and then blow it away. which rises a question, if its a hardware raid stripe, i dont think knoppix should be seeing both drives, i thought the hardware controller told it what to see, so it should only see the one raid device, at least that was my take on it. hope some of this helps. -- Linux, because I'd rather own a free OS than steal one that's not worth paying for. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] NetworkManager
I cant seem to find networkmanager anywhere in portage, i have checked the gentoo-portage site, done numerous searched with emerge and cant seem to locate it, there website says gentoo has it Your favorite Linux distribution probably already has packages for NetworkManager. Fedora Core, Debian, and Gentoo, are supported out of the box. You can use your distributions package management tools to download and install the NetworkManager programs if it has been packaged for your distro. anyone running this? what is it called in portage? thanks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

HTH, Holly well since it isnt stable yet, is there anything else out there that integrates with gnome that allows you to switch network connections on the fly? or just something that monitors wireless connections and allows you to choose to connect to them? something that actually asked for the WEP key when it hit an encrypted network would be good too, but i think im pushing my luck. thats for the info thus far.

[gentoo-user] WEP woes
Im having a heck of a time getting wep to work with either iwconfig or wpa_supplicant, ive followed the how-to, read over the wiki pages, and looked at the example file in /etc and i still cannot get it to let me connect with WEP, i can see the AP, get the freg/voltage etc, but i cant get an ip from it. my setup is this: i have a wireless access point at home that i want to connect to using WEP and also an AP at the office that i want to connect to using WEP, i can connect to both with WEP turned off, so i know my wireless is working. does someone have a similar setup on their machine that they could possibly post their config file? either conf.d/net or conf.d/wireless or both, (im just using /net per the how-tos) my config as of now looks like this: modules=( wpa_supplicant ) wpa_supplicant_eth1=-prism54 wpa_timeout_eth1=30 #associate_order=any #essid_eth1=any #preferred_aps=( computernick ) #associate_order_eth1=any key_computernick=s:c0mputernick! enc open #key_ESSID2=[1] s:CE73E751EE [1] enc open #preferred_aps=( ESSID1 ) #config_ESSID1=( dhcp ) #fallback_ESSID1=( 192.168.0.55/24 brd 192.168.0.255 ) #fallback_route_ESSID1=( default via 192.168.0.69 ) #config_ESSID2=( dhcp ) #fallback_ESSID2=( 192.168.1.200/24 brd 192.168.1.255 ) #fallback_route_ESSID2=( default via 192.168.1.2 ) #dhcpcd_eth0=-t 15 #dhcpcd_eth1=-t 15 i commented out alot of stuff for troubleshooting purposes but it didnt help. i cant get either one to connect with WEP enabled. i want to try to get wpa working because from what i have read and heard it is more advanced that iwconfig, lets you connect to wpa enc and i think it does scanning as well. any help or a config file would be greatly appreciated. thanks Nick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
