[gentoo-user] About dig command and others
Hi folks, Gentoo_amd64 My ISP tried to block their unwellcome sites on the proxy server, I suppose, disallowing their subscribers visiting them.

Re: [gentoo-user] recompiing kernel quesiton
Hi Pawel Kraszewski, Tks for your advice. First of all - you may try the installation CD of Gentoo - boot it and give 'halt -p' at command prompt. If it switches off, that means error in your config. If it doesn't, this might be the hardware fault. I made following 2 tests 1) Booted Gentoo install-amd64-minimal-2006-1 Ran # shutdown -h now (also tried poweroff) System halted but not poweroff 2) Booted Knoppix 5 Ran # shutdown -h now System halted and poweroff immediately. I think it is the problem of Gentoo not hardware. Put some light and describe your hardware. Especially - which motherboard model, drop your 'lspci' output. CPU - Athlon 64 3000+ socket 939 Motherboard - Asus A8N-VM, onboard graphic card, sound card and LAN Graphic card - Gigabyte - GV-NX66256DP2 DDR2 RAN 256bit, nVidia G-Force 6600 RAM -1G # lspci 00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:00.1 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 0 (rev a2) 00:00.2 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 1 (rev a2) 00:00.3 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 5 (rev a2) 00:00.4 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 4 (rev a2) 00:00.5 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:00.6 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 3 (rev a2) 00:00.7 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 2 (rev a2) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:03.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:04.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:09.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:0a.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 LPC Bridge (rev a2) 00:0a.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation MCP51 SMBus (rev a2) 00:0b.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:0b.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:0d.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 IDE (rev a1) 00:0e.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA Controller (rev a1) 00:10.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 PCI Bridge (rev a2) 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) 00:14.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a1) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600] (rev a2) * end * Contents of '/var/log/dmesg' might also be helpful. The latter might be too big for this mailing list, so don't hesitate to drop it gzipped directly to my address. Yes, I'll email dmesg.tar.gz to your private address Pawel Kraszewski [EMAIL PROTECTED] later. Tks. By the way - did you inspect your BIOS settings for ACPI/power management misconfiguration?

Re: [gentoo-user] About dig command and others
Hi Boyd, Is there another method to check/verify my suspicion. TIA Based on the original post, it sounds to me like your ISP is (intentionally or not) blocking that site. There's very little (probably nothing) you could do to prove they are doing it intentionally. Actually I'm not interested on the site being blocked which is/was censored to a blank page. It was because of an article against the owner of my ISP. This owner owns 2 ISPs. All their subcribers can't browse the blocked site. This happening went to public on newspapers. Some subscribers made complaint to the authority concerned. What you've already done (tried via other ISPs and a proxy service) already proves the site is blocked I can browse the site via proxydom.com without problem. On my search installing foxyproxy, the addon, on Firefox can browse the site. I'm running SeaMonkey on this Gentoo box. I'm now learning how to make foxyproxy to work on SeaMonkey. My sole interest is to learn accumulating my IT knowhow. How to prove this malpractice is done by my ISP. (although, I suppose it could be the site blocking your ISP and not vice-versa). The owner of the site also made complaint to the telecommunication authority here. Others noted with tks. B.R. SL -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I just selected an economic one. AFAIK this seems to be OK. There were problems with various versions of udev, gvm, but you seem to have avoided those... Read here for some more info if you're feeling adventurous: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107784 Noted with tks. OK just for curiosity. I found automount worked on this USB enclose when installed on FC5_64 on this PC (on another HD) and also on FC5_32 on another PC, both with icons displayed on gnome desktop. Of course! well spotted Andrew! you need to start gvm - run `gnome-volume-manager ` from a terminal, then logout and back in again, and see if it works. Yes, it worked, no icons on gnome desktop. $ ls -al /media/disk $ ls -al /media/disk-l showed 2 partitions of the USB enclosure. After that, you could try the preferences for gvm, (in preferences removable drives and media) and make sure automounting and such is checked.

Another disk-1 disappeared. But it has not mounted. I have to run; # mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk I haven't figured out the cause. I made several tests with the same result. I used to have this issue (drives would mount, but not show up on the desktop). I fixed it by upgrading. Have you considered gnome 2.14? I'm running gnome-light of version 2.14.2. I'm prepared to install the full gnome. But I haven't figured out whether just run; # emerge -av gnome OR # emerge --unmerge gnome-light emerge gnome I have installed some packages on gnome-light Did you try the gconf key: gconftool-2 --type bool --set /system/storage/display_internal_hard_drives true No. How did your versions of software compare with those listed in comment #68 in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107784 ? I read this thread before on sorting out the problem of the mobo (ASUS A8N-VM) on this Gentoo box. The mouse pointer always hangs if without adding noapic on the line on grub.conf booting the kernel I also came across another thread; http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=57791page=6 At this juncture I can't ascertain whether my problems encountered coming from the software or the mobo.

Re: [gentoo-user] File replication
Hi Robert, Tks for your advice. What about a perl script that just copies all files in /home/user to the device once it is plugged in? I'm not a programmer nor very acknowledgeable on perl. Could you please shed me some guide how to start.

Re: [gentoo-user] File replication
Hi Bryan, Tks for your advice. Why not just use rsync? setup cron to just sync the two directories (/home/blah with /mnt/disk/blah) over and over? Such an arrangement will only sync /home/user on /mnt/usb_enclosure/user at fixed time, periodically, not instaneously whenever there is a change on /home/user Or just set your hom directory to /mnt/disk/user ? I intend using the USB device for dual purpose. 1) as mirror of /home/user. So when there is a problem there is a second copy of data on the USB enclosure. 2) using it as mobile storge device which can be plugged in on any Linux PC when I work on the latter. B.R.

Re: [gentoo-user] File replication
Hi Neil, Do you really need such frequent syncing? Bear in mind the limited write lifespan of flash memory, if you have a file in your home directory that is frequently updated, you could wear out the memory in a short time. what's wrong with using a script that syncs your hard disk with the flash drive before unmounting it? Mounted inside the USB enclosure is a HD. I'll use old HD for this purpose. Frequently I work on at least 2 PCs running different Linux OS. With such a device, USB enclosure, it'll ease my work on consolidating the working data on 2 PCs. Otherwise I have to use a pendrive for tranporting working data between 2 PCs. OR compressing them as tarball and send the latter as attachment to an email. Tks B.R. SL -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] File replication
Hi Etaoin, Tks for your advice. If you have networking, why not set up a network share of some kind (nfs, smb, or even ssh via shfs) and mount it (under the same path) from each computer you work on? This avoid having to replicate data and, with decent network speed, is nearly as fast as disk I/O. The PCs, a workstation only, are not connected to network. Neither I'll run 2/3 PCs simultaneously. Previously I did it in this way making use of an addtional network card connecting 2 PCs. Later I ceased using this method because another PC was standing idly. B.R. satimis -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] File replication
Hi Neil, but I still don't see why you need real-time mirroring. A script to sync the drive before unmounting would give you an accurate mirror. A cron script to check if the drive is mounted and sync it every hour would cut down on the amount of data to sync when unmounting. If running sync periodically on poweroff the PC there will be some files not yet updated. I think there may be an existing tool for this purpose. I believe seeing similar tool for M$Windows previously. B.R. SL -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] File replication
Hi Neil, Shutdown involves unmounting the drive, and I recommended syncing before unmounting. The USB enclosure will be automatically mounted/umounted.

Hi Rumen, Tks for your advice. Not very sure that's what you want, but check: sys-cluster/drbd. Description: mirror/replicate block-devices across a network-connection (requires a network connection though). sync+cron can do the job, incremental-copying files from /home/user on to /mnt/USB_enclosure/user at fixed time, periodically.

(or grub.conf), etc? What does grub/{menu.lst,grub.conf} contain?
# grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts /etc/fstab
Um...you mean /etc/mtab, right? Otherwise your fstab is going to
contain things that are not really necessary, like usbfs and sysfs
filesystems
Anyway, this step is really not even necessary even with mtab, as
Gentoo will fix it when you boot.
Still failed, only a black screen with 2 ! scatering on it.
Neither
grub displayed.
Did you install grub? If so, did you use grub-install or my previous
instructions? What output did you get from that? I guess try
re-installing grub.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Again - problem on installing Gentoo (Gentoo started)
Hi Dirk, Your previous mail stated that you did not emerge lvm2. However, /dev/vg/usr IS a logical volume so it will never work until you install the lvm2 software. He has EVMS installed, he doesn't need lvm2 tools. My problem is LV not being activated on booting so all devices such /dev/vg/usr, home, opt, etc. can't not been mounted. At time of installation ; # vgchange -a y must be run to activate LV. I'm now looking around where (/rc.d/ ?) I have to add this command. I tried creating /tmp/newroot, /tmp/newroot/mnt, etc.in anticipating mounting LV. But found it did not work. Actually Gentoo started but the above devices unable to mount making some files can't be found. Other problem are of minor matters. In the past I have been playing around on FC5 and Ubuntu 6.06 partitioning HD with LVM on command lines but never work. I was compelled using GUI to get it done. Then it worked without problem.

Because after chroot /dev/vg/usr, /dev/vg/home, etc. were not mounted disregarding having be mounted at the begining before chroot. I further discovered the cause of the later because I did not repeat the step to edit /etc/lvm/lvm.conf as written on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/lvm2.xml;.

Re: [gentoo-user] DVD burning package
Hi Neil, Tks for your advice. That depends on the type of discs you want to make. I prefer plain old kisofs + growisofs for data DVDs and tovid for video DVDs. Mainly for data burning. Do I need both of them or only either one? Do I need cdrecord as well? What will the correct command to emerge them? # emerge -pv kisofs then # emerge kisofs ??? Will the second command line pull all necessary dependencies? Same command to emerge growisofs? What package will their frontend? k3b? TIA B.R.

Re: [gentoo-user] DVD burning package
Hi Rumen, Check gnome-extra/nautilus-cd-burner don't know if it's included in gnome-light though. gnome-light is a very basic desktop with a few packages installed. Application Accessories - Terminal Internet - SeaMonkey System Tools - Avahi Zeorconf Browser/File Browser/New Login/New Login in a Nested Window I have to install my needed packages to run it. At the beginning I installed gnome-light for test only. Later I found it a light-weight desktop even more basic than Xfce. Dislike the full gnome with some packages installed which I never use. So I decide to keep gnome-light and install manually all the needed packages. Tks B.R. SL -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] DVD burning package
Hi Neil, Tks for your advice. dvd+rw-tools. It does for DVDs what cdrecord does for CDs. Despite the name, it is for DVD-R(W) as well as DVD+RW It is the tool for burning both DVD+/-R(W), but not working well on DVD+R(W) If you emerge k3b with the dvdr USE flag, it will pull in all of these as dependencies. I use it frequently on FC5_64. It is for KDE but also works on Gnome. Before I ran command lines for burning CD/CD-R(W) until I found k3b Whether edit /etc/make.conf USE=...dvdr then run; # emerge --sync emerge -avuDN world # emerge k3b If I'm wrong pls correct me.

Re: [gentoo-user] DVD burning package
Hi Dirk, What will the correct command to emerge them? # emerge -pv kisofs then # emerge kisofs I'd guess this is a little typo: should be mkisofs. This is part of the famous cdrtools package. Noted with tks. Would # emerge cdrtools including mkisofs? Don't know where growisofs comes from. I think it is the backend of k3b B.R.
