[gentoo-user] some scratchy/static noise from Intel High-Def Audio
When I first installed and configured all ALSA-related things, the sound was working perfectly fine, and I was quite pleased. Now, about a week later, I've started picking up this rather annoying scratchy static noise while using Audacious. Some stats: Intel D955XBK motherboard with an on-board Intel High-Definition Audio (hda-intel). ALSA says that it's the SigmaTel STAC9221D A2 chip. And lspci says:00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01). I have the 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 PREEMPT kernel, compiled with SMP/ACPI. In my case, I actually compiled all ALSA-related stuff, including the hda-intel driver right into the kernel. Yes, I know, I should recompile and make all those as modules... Can I pass any options to the hda-intel driver when it's compiled into the kernel, or can that only be done with modules? I'm not sure where to look to fix this problem... I read something on Gentoo boards about getting rid of PREEMPT features, MSI, etc... but nothing seemed conclusive or evidently relevant to this problem. Could someone tell me where to start? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I've had those problems, and they're a real PITA. In my case i had to
re-arrange my cables 15 umpteen hundred times before they would position so
I didn't get any loss of contact, and turn of athcool . ( yes, athcool, if
you have it, could be your problem, i didn't believe it at first myself )
A drive doesn't have to be even mounted for those errors to show up, but it
sure helps. My recommendation is if you have a disk which is frequently
dropping out on you like that, you switch to JFS, XFS really doesn't play
nice if it thinks the drive is plugged in twice ., and JFS has
impressive recovery ability.

Re: [gentoo-user] Linux becomes expensive ;)
Florian, That's not that big of a difference...Also, Gentoo/Linux does not have powersaving for every device like Windows XP...it's writing to the hard drive more often and it doesn't spin as much down when it's not in use to help performance. Also, if i was you, i'd be worried about your system using that LITTLE energy especially since you have a pretty hefty CPU, video card, motherboard, 2 hardrives and al the rest of your components.

[gentoo-user] Other encrypt otions than encfs
I've had two incidents where encfs has failed due to some incompatability during upgrades.. I'd like to switch to some other technique rather than have to worry with maintaining a working environment for encfs/fuse. Can anyone vouch for another system that has been very reliable for them?

[gentoo-user] encfs/fuse fails after update world
Following recent update world, encfs encrypted partition refuses to mount with error: EncFS Password: Error decoding volume key, password incorrect This same thing happened a few updates back and was due to an incompatibiltiy with newer versions of openssl. However openssl was not involved in the current update. I backed back down to previous versions of both encfs and fuse but it didn't help. Looking at the output of genlop --list --date -2 days (output attached inline below) I'm not sure where to start looking for the culprit. You'll notice the backing down of versions of fuse and encfs at the end. == * sys-apps/portage Thu May 31 19:33:50 2007 sys-apps/portage-2.1.2.9 Thu May 31 21:19:58 2007 sys-apps/debianutils-2.18.1 Thu May 31 21:20:55 2007 dev-util/ctags-5.6-r1 Thu May 31 21:23:23 2007 app-arch/cpio-2.7-r2 Thu May 31 21:24:16 2007 sys-libs/timezone-data-2007f Thu May 31 21:25:24 2007 net-misc/mDNSResponder-107.6-r5 Thu May 31 21:26:27 2007 sys-fs/device-mapper-1.02.19 Thu May 31 21:26:44 2007 sys-apps/dmidecode-2.9 Thu May 31 21:27:04 2007 sys-apps/hdparm-7.3 Thu May 31 21:32:14 2007 net-dns/bind-tools-9.4.1 Thu May 31 21:33:43 2007 sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.21 Thu May 31 21:38:19 2007 app-portage/eix-0.9.7 Thu May 31 21:41:10 2007 dev-libs/pth-2.0.7 Thu May 31 21:41:23 2007 x11-misc/emacs-desktop-0.2-r1 Thu May 31 21:46:36 2007 app-shells/bash-3.2_p17 Thu May 31 21:47:02 2007 sys-apps/ed-0.5 Thu May 31 21:48:16 2007 dev-util/dialog-1.1.20070514 Thu May 31 21:49:41 2007 sys-apps/man-pages-2.51 Thu May 31 21:50:00 2007 x11-misc/xdg-utils-1.0.1 Thu May 31 21:54:03 2007 media-libs/freetype-2.3.4-r2 Thu May 31 21:56:44 2007 media-libs/libpng-1.2.18 Thu May 31 21:57:11 2007 app-misc/ca-certificates-20070303-r1 Thu May 31 21:59:46 2007 sys-libs/com_err-1.40_pre20070411 Thu May 31 22:02:53 2007 sys-apps/findutils-4.3.6 Thu May 31 22:03:04 2007 sys-devel/binutils-config-1.9-r4 Thu May 31 22:04:59 2007 sys-libs/ss-1.40_pre20070411 Thu May 31 22:11:03 2007 x11-libs/cairo-1.4.6 Thu May 31 22:14:48 2007 sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40_pre20070411 Thu May 31 22:17:05 2007 sys-libs/readline-5.2_p4 Thu May 31 22:23:58 2007 net-misc/ntp-4.2.4_p0 Thu May 31 22:24:26 2007 perl-core/Storable-2.16 Thu May 31 22:26:30 2007 sys-apps/util-linux-2.12r-r7 Thu May 31 22:26:55 2007 perl-core/Test-Simple-0.70 Thu May 31 22:27:20 2007 dev-perl/Net-Daemon-0.41 Thu May 31 22:27:45 2007 app-admin/sysklogd-1.4.2_pre20061230-r1 Thu May 31 22:27:55 2007 virtual/perl-Storable-2.16 Thu May 31 22:28:04 2007 virtual/perl-Test-Simple-0.70 Thu May 31 22:28:30 2007 dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL-1.06 Thu May 31 22:28:50 2007 dev-perl/PlRPC-0.2019 Thu May 31 22:36:54 2007 dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r4 Thu May 31 22:38:02 2007 x11-apps/xinit-1.0.3-r4 Thu May 31 23:19:20 2007 dev-db/mysql-5.0.40 Thu May 31 23:29:02 2007 sys-apps/coreutils-6.9-r1 Thu May 31 23:29:54 2007 dev-perl/DBI-1.56 Thu May 31 23:32:02 2007 dev-libs/libtasn1-0.3.9 Thu May 31 23:34:43 2007 net-dns/libidn-0.6.9-r1 Thu May 31 23:36:10 2007 x11-libs/libXcomposite-0.3.2 Thu May 31 23:52:33 2007 www-misc/htdig-3.2.0_beta6-r2 Thu May 31 23:53:52 2007 x11-libs/libXfontcache-1.0.4 Thu May 31 23:54:55 2007 sys-process/psmisc-22.5 Fri Jun 1 00:29:55 2007 media-gfx/imagemagick-6.3.4 Fri Jun 1 00:39:49 2007 dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.28 Fri Jun 1 00:40:32 2007 sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.10-r4 Fri Jun 1 00:42:46 2007 sys-apps/file-4.21 Fri Jun 1 00:42:55 2007 app-admin/python-updater-0.2 Fri Jun 1 00:43:16 2007 app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.4_pre5 Fri Jun 1 00:44:29 2007 sys-fs/udev-111-r3 Fri Jun 1 00:44:38 2007 app-admin/eselect-vi-1.1.5 Fri Jun 1 00:52:21 2007 sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.21-r2 Fri Jun 1 00:52:30 2007 app-admin/eselect-emacs-0.8-r1 Fri Jun 1 00:52:59 2007 dev-perl/Archive-Tar-1.31 Fri Jun 1 00:56:13 2007 app-editors/vim-core-7.1.002 Fri Jun 1 00:58:09 2007 sys-fs/fuse-2.6.4-r1 Fri Jun 1 01:20:12 2007 app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.990 Fri Jun 1 02:19:10 2007 x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0 Fri Jun 1 02:24:04 2007 app-editors/vim-7.1.002 Fri Jun 1 02:27:20 2007 sys-fs/encfs-1.3.2.1 Fri Jun 1 02:27:53 2007 app-vim/gentoo-syntax-20070506 Fri Jun 1 02:30:04 2007 x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.0.2 Fri Jun 1 02:34:18 2007 x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.0.0 Fri Jun 1 02:38:50 2007 x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.6.3 Fri Jun 1 04:18:32 2007 sys-libs/glibc-2.5-r3 Fri Jun 1 04:28:06 2007 net-libs/gnutls-1.6.2 Fri Jun 1 04:28:37 2007 dev-perl/Crypt-SSLeay-0.54 Fri Jun 1 04:29:42 2007

The best part about ecryptfs is that the filesystem deriver is in recent kernel sources. It appears not to have usefull documentaion... only the usual manpage that assumes you already know how to use it. Do you know of any `getting started' type documentation? It's hosted on sourceforge.net. Google will turn up a lot of information... but here's what I do... Been there and seen it before posting... not so usefull in my opinion. (The docu I mean) mount -t ecryptfs /crypt /crypt -o rw,key=passphrase,ecryptfs_key_bytes=32,cipher=aes,passthrough=no /crypt on /crypt type ecryptfs (rw,ecryptfs_sig=cf5c9b2c19863be6,ecryptfs_key_bytes=32,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,) But your little walk thru... now that is good stuff. Why oh why don't manpages always end with nifty simple examples... hehe. Thanks for the nifty tour. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Well, you can create a regular file, mount it as a loopback device and encrypt it. Here is an example: # Create a disk image: dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/disk1.img count=50 bs=1M # Set up a loop device losetup /dev/loop/0 /tmp/disk1.img # encrypt it cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/loop/0 # then open it with luksOpen cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop0 test # create a filesystem mkfs.whatever /dev/mapper/test # mount it mount /dev/mapper/test /path/to/test and write a script to do the last three steps or do it via /etc/conf.d/cryptfs. -- ali polatel (hawking) I don't drink, I don't like it, it makes me feel too good. -- K.

Re: [gentoo-user] framebuffer questions
also, gentoo has a doc: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1chap=10 That gives the best explanation. Now dmesg | grep -i vesa concludes with: ... vesafb: framebuffer at 0xf000, mapped to 0xd190, using 10240k,total 16384k fb1: VESA VGA frame buffer device. But, the screen looks the same. I started out with 1024x768 then changed to 1280x1024 but certain web pages still do not fit the screen. For example, a trip to the above handbook address using elinks is an exercise in frustration. As you scroll down using the down arrow the page jumps from side to side making it very difficult to follow. FWIW if I drop to the grub prompt and use grubvbeprobe I get 'vbeprobe 0xff00 is not found or supported' If I use grub testvbe 1280 I get 'mode 0x400 not supported'. For 1024, it's '0x400 not supported'. For 800, it's '0x300 not supported'. For 640, '0x200 not supported'. Which is weird cause the monitor is clearly using *some kind of mode*. If I manually enter the kernel line at the prompt w/o mentioning the framebuffer at all one is installed anyway which is just like all the others :( mw Choose the right car based on your needs.
