[gentoo-user] remote login help
hey.. I need some help to set up a remote ssh/vnc/ftp/www access to my computer at home via dyndns.org. I am using ddclient to get to my router (which works) but can login to my machine behind the router (ssh for now, ftp and http later). The router is configured so dmz works for my IP but as soon as I want to connect to my machine behind the router I get connection refused and nothing happens. Login from within the local network works fine, so I wonder what the issue could be. Could someone enlighten me about this? thanks in advance, Karsten -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] qt3/4 confusion
hey, I am trying to compile a program written in qt3 which apprently, according to the author, fails because it being compiled using version 4 qmake. I checked and indeed qmake is from version 4, yet in my environment, the QTDIR variable is pointing to /usr/qt/3. Now that both confuses me and leaves me with the question on how to change the profile completely to qt3 for this compiliation. Has anyone a hint for me? thanks, KArstn -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] qt3/4 confusion
hey alex,
I used your instructions, and got a bit further yet there are still
issues that seem to be contradictory. First of all, a snippet from the/
./configure /process:
/
checking whether QTDIR environment variable is set... /usr/qt/3
checking for Qt library... qt-mt
checking for Qt library version = 3.1.1... yes
checking for qmake... /usr/bin/qmake /but it looks in /usr/bin ??
that is certainly part of the problem, since the version there is from
qt4 (/qmake --version -- 4.1.3/)
so this part of the make process certainly make more sense in that light:
/g++ -c -pipe -O2 -mtune=i686 -pipe -D_REENTRANT -Wall -W -fPIC
-DQT_NO_DEBUG -D
QT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++
-I. -I/u
sr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4 -I.moc
-I.ui -
o initfio.o initfio.cpp
/
so it basically includes qt4, which must lead to failure. The qmake from
/usr/qt/3/bin returns to be, obviously, version 3. something is strange
there, any idea?
thanks,
Karsten

I am using a little shell function to change between various Qt
versions (put it into ~/.bashrc if you like). I'm quite sure the
library line is not necessary, but it doesn't hurt either and I kept
it.
switchqt()
{
export QTDIR=$1
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
}
switchqt /usr/qt/3 activates Qt 3 for this shell.

hello, I have a few questions on how to basically access a specific machine in a network from the web.

Thanks, Karsten This doesn't have anything to do with ddclient or dyndns, as long as the dns entry is pointing to the right ip then it's doing all it should. Your router should provide the ability to configure port forwarding to machines in your LAN. Simply configure it to forward traffic on whatever ports you want to use to the clients which are serving those ports. The router may also provide a DMZ function which will forward all incoming traffic to a specific machine on your LAN, although this may possible make the machine vulnerable to security exploits. You'll have to read the documentation that came with the router or search google in order to configure it appropriately as the configuration details differ between manufacturers and models. hm ok, but lets say for instance my machines hostname is mymachine, its port is '' and the address which points to the router is myaddress.dyndns.org: what would be for example the ssh command to connect to that particular machine? I know its a bit of a stupid question, but I can't picture what this would look like/how it would work.

This is my first post to this list, mainly because the Gentoo community is so awesome to have documentation for everything that I haven't needed to use it before. I've finally seemed to have run into something that I can't figure out and I can't find very good documentation for. I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite M55-S329 laptop. It came with XP Home preinstalled, along with a bunch of extra stuff I totally didn't need or want. When I turned it on, messages popped up saying that windows was not secure, so I deleted windows and installed Gentoo. Gentoo itself works beautifully on that laptop, actually. The built in wireless lan card and gigabit card were both natively supported by the 2.6.15 kernel even. I was half expecting some problems there. I installed powernowd and enabled all the stuff for ACPI so that I can use different power profiles with klaptop and now I get rather impressive battery life. I was even able to install the Gentoo base system with a stage 3 GRP install just on the battery. I wouldn't have normally, but I was hanging out at Denny's and getting tired of all the stuff in windows popping up and telling me to purchase stuff. I just wanted to use it. Anyway, to get to the point. After everything is installed and working, there are a few kinks that I can't seem to get worked out. Firstly, the suspend to ram function doesn't work properly. I can get it to suspend to ram ok, but when I resume, the video doesn't come back. I am using the 2.6.15-suspend2-r6 kernel. Also, I have the toshiba options in ACPI enabled. I asked on #suspend2 about it, and they suggested to install vbetool and configure /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf to use it, except vbetool wouldn't compile. So, I try the toshiba-utils and using those, only it tells me that the computer or kernel is not supported. I enabled anything related to Toshiba laptops in the kernel, so I'm not sure what else I needed to do. I can suspend to disk ok, but when I resume, the wireless card doesn't come back. If I unload and reload the module, it still will not come up. Dmesg just says 'failed with error -2'. I can't seem to get it working if I compile the drivers in the kernel, I seem to have to use the ipw2200 drivers and module. Everything else works though after a resume to disk. The final issue is the widescreen. From what i've found, I seem to need to configure x.org to use modelines in order to get it to display properly. Although, I have no clue as to how to set that up. I found a page on the internet to automatically make a line in xorg, but it wants all the specifications for the monitor and I can't find them. For the few minutes that I was in windows, I saw that the resolution was set to 1280x768, and that was the max resolution. I can't see any premade modlines or anything for that matter referring to that resolution. If I put that mode in xorg.conf as a resolution, xorg says it's an invalid mode and just goes to 1024x768. At that resolution on a widescreen, everything is stretched across the screen. I seem to have hit a wall with these problems. I'm guessing it's because it's with a laptop, which are relatively obscure when compared to desktops. Thanks in advance for any help! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I have attached it this mail. when I understood correctly, there's nothing you can do. * The TwinView Option is special for NVidia cards * This setting has nothing to do with Xinerama * X therefore only sees one card * AFAIK the external monitor always is the primary monitor on NVidia's TwinView So I guess there's no way around it. that's sad.. =( I have not seen anything in the xfce-menu about where you could set the screen for the panel but haha... one could just drag it over! The only thing that's left is the taskbar, it does not seem to move when I drag it... otherwise I'll use some other window manager for performing on the other display (I want to run a pd/pdp window on the second screen and the white stripe of the hidden taskbar is annoying).

Re: [gentoo-user] TwinView Question
I have seen and tried the twinview tutorial, thought that was not the last word tho.. I do have tried to use X with this configuration and up to now there were no problems really when I had no 'second' monitor. K On Wed, 2006-02-15 at 23:09 +0100, Christoph Eckert wrote: anyways the quick answer is add 'Option TwinViewOrientation RightOf' to your driver section. and as a note AFAIK twinview dosn't give seperate screens, so things like :0.1 may not work. the problem remains: the external monitor is the master monitor, and this can lead to problems when the external monitor isn't present (which can happen if you're on the road with a notebook). Maybe I'm wrong or there's a workaround, but at least these are my experiences. Best regards ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] beagled indexing roots
hi, Has anyone a clue why neither beagle-config nor beagle-settings will allow me to index /usr/share/doc for instance? [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ beagle-config indexing AddRoot /usr/share/doc Debug: Loading Beagle.Util.Conf+IndexingConfig from indexing.xml Error: Could not load configuration from indexing.xml: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Root added. Debug: Saving Beagle.Util.Conf+IndexingConfig to indexing.xml I don't know why it won't accept it.. also, when I use the gui for it, it does not display what I entered just before.. strange. Is it not possible to add a dir like /usr to the scheduler queue, or what did I overlook? I had a look at the configuration files in /etc, but they don*t tell me much, and I can see with beagle-status that it is only indexing my home dir.

[gentoo-user] *.bin and /dev/loop help
hello, I would like to be able to mount a *.bin image locally without burning it beforehand, but I don't understand atm how to create a /dev/loop device node and make it work so I can mount it. I don't think I need encryption for it. Which Kernel options are necessary (could not find anything about /dev/loop in ck-patched 2.6.15) and how is the procedure to mount this binary image? Thanks, Karsten -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] [solved] missing link to libXaw.so.8 after xorg 7,0 install
Yes, emerging media-libs/nas like this went well, and subsequently the other packages too. One thing though was, that media-libs/nas has dependencies that were not met by it before ./configure. For example, rman, gccmakedep, and xmkmf were needed, but not present, not even as depency in the ebuild... Thanks for the help!

By orphan I mean files that were installed by a package, but somehow got left behind when the package was uninstalled. /lib/modules/* is the best example I can give at the moment, but no really applicable to revdep-rebuild. In such cases, revdep-rebuild may report broken library links on the orphaned files, but decide not to rebuild anything, since no package owns them. However, you have shown with equery belongs that they are not orphaned. So, what happens if you remerge nas manually?

[gentoo-user] xorg-server
Hi all, I was playing with the thought of installing x11 7.0 (that's modular X?) lately to try out a few Extensions and I wondered which driver to choose for my Nvidia GeforceGo card. Can I still continue to use nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx? How is it actually with Y-windows, most of the apps and window-managers that work under X won't work under Y, correct? thanks, KArsten -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] missing link to libXaw.so.8 after xorg 7,0 install
Hi, I have just installed modular X on my box and try to finalize it, but a few things are broke now and have to get rebuild. revdep-rebuild -p :::spits this out Checking dynamic linking consistency... broken /usr/bin/audemo (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/auedit (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/aupanel (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/auphone (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/autool (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/auwave (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/xapm (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/xglyph (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/lib/transcode/filter_subtitler.so (requires libXaw.so.8) done. but neither executing ldconfig or just revdep-rebuild helps (in case of revdep-rebuild, it fails) to solve the problem. The rest it has to rebuild is: [ebuild R ] media-libs/nas-1.7-r1 [ebuild R ] media-libs/t1lib-5.0.2 [ebuild R ] media-video/transcode-1.0.2-r1 USE=imagemagick* [ebuild R ] sys-apps/apmd-3.2.1_p4 This should be straight forward, but I don't really know where the lib was before I installed modular X (or why its not found by them). thanks Karsten -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Alsa RTC and extending swap space
Hello, Has anyone experience with the Alsa RTC-module and how install it? My problem is only how apply the diff-files to the kernel and I would like to know how to do it. Just how to generally do that sort of thing. Can anyone give me a quick tipp? Would it make a SIGNIFICANT difference to the normal timer? I just read about that in a README in the newest SEQ24 package www.filter24.org/seq24 I attached the file. They way Rob put it there, it would actually be quite a performance improvement. Also, how can one extend the swap partition after a ram-upgrade without messing everything up? Is it just writing another partition table? I'm on Gentoo 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz Thanks, Karsten -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
