 Hi,
 
 Try ifplugd, it Brings up/down ethernet ports automatically with cable 
 detection.
Yes, I did use ifplugd. And it works great. But I still have the error message 
when booting. I have no clue how to get rid of it. I guess if I did not plug in 
the cable, eth0 cannot be activated. So I will always have that message. My 
quesion is: is there any config file related to this problem.

 just a guess, but have you looked at RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING
 in /etc/init.d/rc ? 

Yes, I did. Several days ago, I was bothered by ntpd and sshd, etc. I got the 
warning when starting up. So I set it to lo. Is there anything else I can try?

 Damit, wrong list again. :(
 
 Here is translation:
 
 We have corporate wireless network with WPA/TKIP auth via windows domain
 (win2k3).
 The question is how to setup Linux to log in this network.
 

Why don't you look at the gentoo handbook. I suggest you use wpa_supplicant. It 
works awesome, at least for me.

Just want to remind you, if you are using wpa2, maybe you need set proto to 
RSN. Since I did notice that, I spent a couple of weeks on that.

What is you error? Does the booting just stop at a certain point? Since I found 
that if I got an error message, the booting will pause until you go back to 
that terminal. But I have no clue to solve that problem.

If you just want to get rid of bufferframe at tty 8,9. I think you need set the 
value as 
SPLASH_TTYS=1 2 3 4 5 6

 You don't need to use ifplugd,just install it. The network boot script
 should use ifplugd without you starting or configuring it. Doing so may
 cause a conflict.
 
 However your message about the interface not existing may be caused by a
 missing module. Is the module for your wired interface built into a
 kernel or as a module? If a module, is it loaded at boot? You may need to
 add it to /etc/modules.autoload.

 If a book about failures doesn't sell, is it a success?

I re-compile my kernel, and now it works. I found that even I plug in the 
cable, it still show the error message. I compiled e1000 into kernel. I don't 
know why it failed. But now I compile it as modules.

Thank you for all your helps!

 Did you have a look at the ebuild notes after you emerged splashutils:
 =
  * Please note that the 'fbsplash' kernel patch has now been renamed to
  * 'fbcondecor'.  Accordingly, the old 'splash' initscript is now called
  * 'fbcondecor'.  Make sure you update your system.  See:
  * http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/fbcondecor/#history
  * for further info about the name changes.
  * 
  * Also note that splash_util has now been split into splash_util, fbsplashd
  * and fbcondecor_ctl.
 =
 
 The latest stable splashutils (1.5.2.1) introduced /etc/conf.d/fbcondecor.  
 Have you tried specifying your tty's in there?
 
 Hope this helps.

[gentoo-user] fbsplash

2007-10-20 Thread twang . umn
Hi there,

I am running gentoo on my laptop and using fbsplash when booting. Actually 
fbspalsh run quite good expcet one thing:  when xdm starts, it seems all the 
other runlevel scripts stop to continue. I need to go back to tty1, then they 
will start again. I don't quite understand what the problem is. Since I already 
set
  SPLASH_TTYS=1,2,3,4,5,6
In the /ect/conf.d/splash, it should not use splash on tty7,8 But I still 
see the splash when I press ctrl alt f8. Is there anything I misconfiged?

Thank you for your advice, and sorry for my poor english. And hope it will not 
bother you so much.

[gentoo-user] firefox crash

2007-07-17 Thread twang . umn
Hi everybody,

I am a newbie to gentoo. These days I met a serious problem for me. When I 
using firefox to browse youtube.com, it always crashed. Even worse, the system 
will crash, not just the X, because I cannot login again after use 
ctr+alt+backspace. And I cannot get any error message about this problem( 
maybe I dont know how to get that message). But I can use console still.

Another problem happening togather with the above one is that I cannot use mpd 
since the system crashed.

I have no idea about this problem, maybe the information I gave you is too 
little. But I really dont know how to get other information. 

Thank you for your help!

Best,

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion. I will try that next time. But I know that the 
system can still play music by using other application.

 Sometimes when killing X ist is not automatically restarted on my systems, 
 maybe you need to run /etc/init.d/xdm restart from a text console to make 
 this work.
 Instead of Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, I would use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go directly to a 
 text console. There I would have a look at the at the last lines 
 of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of top, maybe this shows 
 something like a nspluginviewer process gone wild which you can kill. 
 Also try to kill firefox, will X work fine again then? Use Ctrl-Alt-F7 to 
 go back to the X screen.
 
  Another problem happening togather with the above one is that I cannot
  use mpd since the system crashed.
 
 Do other sound applications work, does ls  /dev/sound/dsp work and 
 produce a sound?
