Yeah, you're right, I don't think it is mass storage. It had worked without me doing anything so I guess I just assumed it was a mass storage device. So my question now is, why did gphoto2 quit detecting my camera. Maybe it was the switch to udev? Thanks for the info. -Wes -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] USB, udev, and SCSI emulation
I've been researching getting my camera to work and I have a few questions. I'm running udev and kernel 2.6.15.1. 1) For USB mass storage to work do I still need SCSI emulation or does udev remove that requirement? 2) If so do I still need to pass the kernel parameter hdc=ide-scsi? 3) Should SCSI emulation be automatic with udev, or might I need to write a rule for it? 4) If SCSI emulation is working will I alway see a line in dmesg about a new SCSI device? Most howto's seem to suggest this but I want to be sure. 5) Any other things I ought to be looking at? Thanks! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Extra IDE card, drives out of order
I added an extra IDE controller card so I could get a 5th drive. It's a Silicon Image chipset (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE). When I boot into the kernel with the module included the kernel sees the IDE channels on the new card as the first ones and the existing IDE channels on my motherboard as the additional ones. So to the new kernel it sees: /dev/hda (newly added drive) /dev/hdb (no drive) /dev/hdc (no drive) /dev/hdd (no drive) /dev/hde (my old /dev/hda) /dev/hdf (my old /dev/hdb) /dev/hdg (my old /dev/hdc) /dev/hdh (my old /dev/hdd) The kernel tries to boot off the first drive on the new controller card instead of my boot drive, which is odd because the kernel that is running is read off of my old /dev/hda which the new kernel sees as /dev/hde. So the BIOS and Grub see them in the correct order. Hope that makes sense. Perhaps I could fix the problem by moving all of my drives to the new IDE card, not sure and that's not my preferred solution. My kernel is vanilla 2.6.15.1. Thanks for any help. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Check: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml and http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html I don't think that will work. The rules would reside in /etc on my boot drive, and the kernel would never see them because it isn't seeing the boot drive as the boot drive, it sees it as /dev/hde. I think the change has to be something in the kernel. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] /dev/dsp missing?
Something I did caused sound to quit working. On starting KDE I get an error about /dev/dsp missing. It might have been caused by me setting RC_DEVICE_TARBALL to no in /etc/conf.d/rc, but I set it back to yes and it didn't help. Thanks in advance for the help. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Need help connecting a camera
My camera used to come up fine and at some point it broke and I can't figure out what changed, though no doubt it is related to a kernel upgrade. It might have been the switch to udev. I've been though the howto's and I seem to have all the correct modules (compiled in, not loaded if that matters). Dmesg says: usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5 but that is all, nothing about scsi emulation. Could that be related? One of the howtos mentioned it, but I think that was related to 2.4 kernels. Mounting (which used to work) now says: # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device lsusb says: # lsusb Bus 005 Device 001: ID : Bus 004 Device 005: ID 04a9:30b5 Canon, Inc.

[gentoo-user] help
My 3-year old gentoo system has decided to be a big headache. My troubles started when I upgraded to kde 3.4. The kde taskbar apps wouldn't start. I tried unmerging kde-base and emerging kdebase-meta to see if it was related to the kde split, but that didn't help. I got the idea that the problem was some old kde packages, so I tried unmerging everything on my system which was kde related, including some old packages which are no longer in portage, then I reemerged everything. THis was a big mistake as afterwards kde was even more broken, and kde apps like k3b now don't even work. I've given up on kde and moved to enlightenment, but it will be really hard to deal without any kde apps. Lots of people have given me advice, but everything I try just seems to make things worse. It seems like there is something about old versions of kde that won't go away, which I don't understand at all. It seems like if you reemerge something it should move to the newest versions. I really could use some help because I have no idea what to do next. -Wes -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] KDE libraries
I've been struggling for the last week with an upgrade to KDE 3.4 which didn't go well. Lots of things aren't working, mostly kicker applets. Just now I was poking around and got some error messages which were helpful. I'm including an example, but basically it looks like my 3.4 KDE programs are for some reason looking for shared libraries in my /usr/kde/3.1 directory. How does KDE know where to look for libraries? Here is an example of an error message I'm getting (running 3.4): The specified library taskbar could not be found The diagnostics is: /usr/kde/3.1/lib/kde3/kcm_taskbar.so: cannot open shared object file: NO such file or directory Possible reason: . An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned con module . You have old third party modules lying around -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If your version is no longer in the portage tree, then there are no ebuilds to satisfy your old version. You should update to versions that currently exist in the portage tree. I don't follow why python was out of date though. I had emerged it recently. I finally had to upgrade it to the older 2.2 version to get revdep-rebuild to work which makes no sense to me. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You probably have not updated python for a while. If you want to keep using the 2.2.3 branch of python, go ahead and do emerge --oneshot =dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r6 if you run revdev-rebuild afterwards, it shouldn't rebuild python. If you don't insist on using 2.2.x of python, you can just emerge --oneshot --update python I have a newer version of python already. The one revdep-rebuild is trying to access doesn't even exist in portage. For example, I tried your suggestion: # emerge --oneshot --update python Calculating dependencies ...done! Auto-cleaning packages ... No outdated packages were found on your system. # emerge -p python These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] dev-lang/python-2.3.5-r2 I'm at 2.3.5-r2, so I trying to figure out why revdep-rebuild is referencing 2.2.3-r5. That is my question. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] KDE split ebuilds broken
When I first upgraded to 3.4 I was unaware of the new split ebuilds, so I just emerged normally getting (I assume) the old monolithic ebuilds. When I finally got around to trying to use 3.4 (which was a few months later) KDE came up with the taskbar not able to start, and as such I couldn't see any minimized tasks. In researching I discovered the new split ebuilds, read the KDE split ebuilds howto, and decided to see if using the split ebuilds would solve my problem. So I unmerged kdebase and then emerged kdebase-meta. After doing that not only does taskbar not work, but the pager and the clock won't run and give me similar error messages when I start kde. The howto says that I should be OK having kdebase using split ebuilds and others KDE parts using th old monolithic way. Is this working for anyone? Anyone else run into similar problems or have ideas about what the heck is going wrong? I tried removing all my old ~/.kde dirs but that didn't fix it. Appreciate any pointers. -Wes -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
