Hello all, I have the above tablet and have been trying to get it working with Gentoo. The problem seems to be that the kernel driver is USB and all instructions I can find seem to concentrate on the USB versions of Wacom products.

Maybe there are some modern FAT variations capable of storing all this linux-specific data (thinking of umsdos), but I dare doubt that's the case of your backup drive. If you're thinking of maybe recovering some important system files from this backup sometime, change the backup drive's filesystem to something more capable (the aforementioned ext2, for instance). -rz Thanks Roman, I had come to that conclusion so I have formated my external usb disc with ext3 and am running the backup now.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: rsync for backup, can anybody help
Neil has handled this... I wanted to include the rsync syntax to collect only directories... full or empty: So to collect all the directories regardless of your excludes put this before any excludes: --include=/**/ The trailing slash confines it to direcotories only. Thanks for the tip, I have been trying to get this to work properly for most of the day, but I still have problems. On my file system I have a directory lib which is a link to lib64 (Folder). I have tried various options to the rsync command but still haven't managed to retain this link on the backup disc. Am I right in thinking that I would need to do a separate backup for /boot Also I am getting a lot of errors and the backup is finishing early and not producing the stats. i.e. rsync: symlink /mnt/external/OneFileSystemBackup/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/libopcodes.so - /usr/lib32/binutils/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.18/libopcodes.so failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync: chown /mnt/external/OneFileSystemBackup/usr/include failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (11192228 bytes received so far) [generator] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(458) [generator=2.6.9] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (78658 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(458) [sender=2.6.9] Backup finished at 16:43, umounting /dev/sdd1 This is my command line:- $RSYNC \ -vaHKiq --delete-during --stats --progress --modify-window=2 --one-file-system --include=/**/ / /mnt/external/OneFileSystemBackup ; More help required please, thanks for your efforts so far.

[gentoo-user] rsync for backup, can anybody help
Hi all, Complements of the season. I use a script to perform backup to a connected usb harddisk and I have noticed that it appears to be writing all files each time instead of updating only the changes.

First of all, put all your excludes in a file and use --exclude-from filename, it makes thing much easier to read. What filesystem are you using on the target? If it is FAT, you may need to use --modify-window because of FAT's different timestamping. One other question I wanted to create the empty directories on the backup i.e. run, dev, also directory links i.e. lib to lib64 Use --one-file-system instead of excluding /proc, /sys etc. It saves adding all those excludes and it creates the mount-points, because that are on the source filesystem. Thanks to Neil and Roman, I will try out your amendments tomorrow. Neil, I am using ext2 on the usb backup disk. I'm not sure if I understand you correctly.

Hi all,
Last week I needed to use the scanner part of my MFP and managed to get thing
working by using Neil's suggestion that I enter a USB rule
in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules, so I entered the following:-
SYSFS{product}==USB MFP, SYSFS{manufacturer}==EPSON, GROUP:=scanner,
MODE:=0660
This worked well and I was able to scan.
However, I have just discovered that the printing side of my epson CX5400
scanner/printer is not working.
If I remove the line from the rules file that the printer works fine, but of
course the scanner is now not working.
Any other ideas on how to ensure that both functions work correctly?

[gentoo-user] What to do when you can't loggin
Hi, I am running an ~x86 system and yesterday I did an emerge world, all went well until the next time I booted. kdm ran but the screen just had a flashing loggin box. I could not even get another terminal using alt F1-F7. So I am faced with not being able to loggin at all. This raises a few questions about my own inadequacies :- 1. What is the correct procedure to recover a system in this state? What tools do I need? 2. I have an rsynced backup on an external usb harddrive, but unless I can loggin how can I restore the files from the backup? 3. It appears that a freetype update was the cause of this failure, but this information was hard to find on the forum's (I was lucky). I had an old installation cd and chroot'ed and emerged the previous version of freetype, rebooted and all is well (I hope). 4. How can an update like this get into ~x86 tree when it plainly causes a major problem? I wonder if I should revert to just x86.

[gentoo-user] Problem with eix
Hi all,
I have just tried to use eix but all I'm getting is Found 0 matches.
I have updated eix
update-eix
Reading Portage settings ..
Building database (/var/cache/eix) from scratch ..
[0] /usr/portage/ (cache: cdb)
Reading 100%
[1] /usr/local/portage/ (cache: none)
Reading 100%
Applying masks ..
Database contains 1 packages in 147 categories.
This is the emerge info which I don't understand ( would I want to use cdb or
backport ---whatever that is)
* Please run 'update-eix' to setup the portage search database.
* The database file will be located at /var/cache/eix
* If you want to use cdb support, you need to add
* PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD=cdb
* to /etc/eixrc or ~/.eixrc
* If you want to use the backported cache patch of portage-2.1
* you need to add
* PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD=backport
* to /etc/eixrc or ~/.eixrc
* As of =eix-0.5.4, metadata is the new default cache.
* It's independent of the portage-version and the cache used by
portage.
What does this mean?
The following are the main items from my make.conf:-
CFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86
MAKEOPTS=-j2
AUTOCLEAN=yes
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage/
FEATURES=fixpackages ccache
PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage
CCACHE_SIZE=2G
CCACHE_DIR=/var/tmp/ccache
Sorry this is long but can anybody point me in the right direction please

Hi all, For some time now I have been getting errors on boot. 1. This happens a number of times:- udev-event [1777]:find_free_number: %e is deprecated, will be removed and is unlikely to work correctly.

[gentoo-user] Disk Partitioning
Hi all, I am so dumb. I partitioned a new disk for 1 large partition, I then needed to make a file system and by mistake I entered mke2fs -j /dev/sda and ignored the warning. I soon discovered that I didn't have any partition so I created it again with fdisk and the made the file system correctly with mke2fs -j /dev/sda1 My problem now is that when I plug the disk in (it's am external USB disk) I get 2 icons on my kde desktop both saying 200G Media one is /dev/sda and the other /dev/sda1 but of course I only have 1 200G disk.

Re: [gentoo-user] Mount permissions
snip all Hi, The mystery gets deeper, every time I mounted the network storage server disk and rsync'd I had a lot of errors. It appears that the mount point was changing permissions every time I mounted. I want all of the directories and files to retain the original privileges during the rsync. Anyway after tearing my hair out (whats left of it) I realised that after a umount my mount point /mnt/network was still connected, the umount said that the mount point was disconnected. Overtired, frustrated and baffled I switched off the box and went to the land of dreams. Today as soon as the box had booted I checked /mnt/network and The network storage discs were connected. I don't know How and Why this is automatically happening -- can anybody give me any clues? I am rsync'ing at the moment with no errors but the backup is in the wrong directory on the network usb disc, so I need to understand how this device is automatically mounted so I can change the directory.

This is the ls -l on /mnt/network drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 9 14:03 usr I saw the info about coping the actual file instead of the symlink in man rsync. This raises a couple of questions. 1. If I copy the actual file and in the future need to restore my system from this full backup, what will be the implication of having perhaps multiple copies of some files? 2. How do other gentoo'ers achieve backup onto a windows machine? I will change the command line to include another -v and an STDERR to see if this helps with the mail problem. I have noticed that some messages get copied - in the case of one of my mail folders I have951 messages but only 15 are in the backup, some folders are completely empty. I am a little confused if cifs does or does not support symlinks. As a last resort is there any other way for me to to achieve a complete copy of my gentoo system on this network usb storage link?
