I don't want to say wrong things, but that's what I think:

Cameras, especially the ones from Canon speak a specific protocol which 
transfers files from the camera to your computer. Because of this you can't 
simply mount the card in your camera. It's rather necessary to use a card 
reader for this purpose, like you do, or to use gphoto which understands the

This camera uses PTP protocol. As I have found, the protocol is widely used
by many giant firms. And it's theoretically possible to represent some part
of this protocol as a mounted file system (and some [OT] OS does it).

[gentoo-user] Encrypting removable media

2006-02-24 Thread Matthias Bethke

I have a bit of chicken-and-egg problem trying to get encrypted
removable devices to work as normal as possible.
Using Loop-AES and a GPG-encrypted key I had no problems encrypting my
external FW drive, but to pass all the options to losetup without
entering them by hand every time, I need an fstab entry. The drive shows
up as /dev/sda, but putting /dev/sda1 there is no good as it would try
to use Loop-AES on *every* external drive. So far I could just use
volume labels in my fstab to distinguish any number of drives---well, I
used to until hald/dbus made that automatic. But now there are no labels
any more as they get encrypted as well.
Has anyone come up with a solution for this yet? I could imagine some
plugin for the hotplug system that checks /proc/scsi/scsi for a certain
model before mounting. Not the cleanest solution either but as my
external drives are different models it would work for me. I don't have
much of a clue about the hotplug system though...

Matthias

Yeah, I didn't say it's impossible to do such things. But AFAIK not with 
linux.

I mean you can also see it this way: digiKam represents the pictures as a file 
system and you can drag and drop it and so on ;) It's also possible to write 
a plugin for e.g. rox-filer or other file managers to make use of gphoto.

With udev you can create hardware-specific devices (meaning you can have 
a device in /dev that corresponds exactly to some particular hard disk), 
based on various hardware-specific information (eg, manufacturer name or 
device id and many others) See

[gentoo-user] [OT] Video streaming solution

Hi all,

I search for a open source solution for video streams. What I want to do is to 
have a server with a simple GUI on which I can control several video streams 
that get distributed. The streams have to be distributed to thin clients or 
video projectors. In the case I would use video projectors I have the 
question: Are there some video projectors with a network interface? If yes, 
which protocol do they speak, is there a standard?

The clients (or projectors) should work this way that I turn them on and it 
just works, no configuration, no clicking, _nothing_. I know, that I can 
realize it with scripts, but I completely dunno what software to use. The 
whole controlling process should be done from the server.

The server itself should have a simple user interface (for users which dunno 
much about computers). They can configure which stream to show on which 
client and also disable the streams.

Does anybody has an idea how such a configuration can be realized and with 
which software?

Greets,

Rafael

[gentoo-user] S/P diff question

2006-02-24 Thread Alexander Puchmayr

Hi there!

I'm wondering why dts and aac sound coming from DVD is perfectly transmitted 
over the spdif port (the A/V receiver recognizes the format ans switches to 
dts/dolby mode, and -- much important -- I can hear the movie's sound); But 
if I try the same with a normal divx-file or try to play anything else, 
nothing comes out over the spdif port, only via the analog audio jacks I 
can hear something.

The card is an onboard ac97 codec (via VT8237 based), driver is alsa, from 
kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r1

I found in some forum the advise to use alsamixer and set the control IE958 
playback AC97-spsa to 0, I did so, but it didn't help. 

Thanks in adavance for any suggestions.

Greetings

It very well might:

The point being, that there *is* no other ebuild *but*
virtual/perl-Storable, so the fact that it cannot be found/resolved
seems very likely to be a sync issue of some sort rather than a bug,
/per se/, especially since this is the middle available version.

What version of mysql are you attempting to install, John, and what ARCH

CRAM-MD5 isn't a good choice.
The password is sent as a hash, based on a randomly generated per connection

| From what I understand this is incorrect.  package.mask, -*, and the

Not exactly.

Top level package.mask means there's something wrong with the upstream
package. Often this is because it's a beta release. It can also be used
for major ebuild changes.

Profile package.mask means a package that's usually OK on a particular
architecture has to be masked on particular profiles. The canonical
example is gcc on archs where 32/64 bit is handled via subprofiles.

~arch means a package is a candidate for going into arch after further
testing, if said testing does not turn up new bugs. This means that
both the ebuild *and* the package should be likely to be stable.

No keyword means it's unknown whether a package will work on a
particular arch, because no-one has tested it.

-arch means a package will not work on a particular arch.

-* means the package is in some way architecture or hardware
independent (e.g. a binary only package), and so will only run on archs
that are explicitly listed.

Any package setting KEYWORDS=-* and nothing else is abusing -*, and
will flag a warning on the QA checkers.

[gentoo-user] Help with ALSA bug report

2006-02-24 Thread Holly Bostick

Hi all--

For some days now, I've been having a problem with almost all media
players and one emulator.

Xine 1.1.1-r4 opened, but crashed when closing the splash screen.

Totem 1.3.91 (bmg, gstreamer backend) opened, and then crashed immediately.

mplayer was OK (but I prefer xine, and naturally was concerned about the
other two crashing like that).

FakeNES 0.3.1 with Allegro 4.1 (yes, I tried all three versions)
crashed with a signal #6 in Allegro (but 0.1.5 with Allegro 4.0.3 worked
fine, so I just masked everything above that combination).

I ultimately found that the error was the same for all three programs:

totem: conf.c:3144: snd_config_iterator_first: Bewering `node-type ==
SND_CONFIG_TYPE_COMPOUND' mislukt.

The same line number, even, but in what program or library's conf.c, was
the question.

Goolgling revealed that the problem was ALSA, but the only solution I
found was to downgrade ALSA.

So I did that, masking

=media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.11_rc3
=media-libs/alsa-oss-1.0.11_rc3
=media-sound/alsa-firmware-1.0.11_rc3
=media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.11_rc3

and then doing an emerge -uaDNtv world to downgrade those packages (to
1.0.10, for the most part).

Lo and behold, Totem and Xine suddenly worked again. I unmasked Allegro
and FakeNES-0.3.1, and that works too (got FakeNES 0.3.1 open right now).

Hurrah!! The problem is, this seems very much to be a bug in some ALSA
ebuild (the person whose advice I followed on the ALSA-user's list was
also a Gentoo user, also using 1.0.11_rc3), but I don't know which part
of ALSA (which package of the four I downgraded I should file the bug
against), nor what precisely to file as a bug; can I get away with
Alsa-* fails with multiple applications? I mean, basically, all I know
is that downgrading some part of ALSA allowed these programs to run when
they stopped before-- which is weird enough in itself, since I upgraded
ALSA on the 5th of February, and this issue just manifested itself,
afaik...  I *think* xine and Totem were running up to a couple of days
ago. So it could be something else I upgraded that broke ALSA, but that
takes me completely out of my depth in terms of bug-testing.

I seem to have found a bug, and it seems to be related to ALSA, but may
be triggered by something else.

Is anybody else seeing this kind of issue, first of all, and second of
all, does anybody know how I can determine where the bug actually is so
I can submit it?

Thanks for any help,
Holly

2006-02-24 Thread Christoph Eckert

Hi,


just wanted to install a recent version on Beagle.

So I filled my /etc/portage/package.keywords as required:

app-misc/beagle -pv ~x86
dev-dotnet/gecko-sharp  ~x86
dev-dotnet/gtk-sharp~x86
dev-lang/mono   ~x86
dev-dotnet/libgdiplus   ~x86
dev-libs/gmime  ~x86
dev-dotnet/gnome-sharp  ~x86
dev-dotnet/gnomevfs-sharp   ~x86
dev-dotnet/art-sharp~x86
dev-dotnet/glade-sharp  ~x86
dev-dotnet/gconf-sharp  ~x86

Now it wants to pull in www-client/mozilla-1.7.12-r2.

I'd like to avoid that. Anyone a hint if or even how this is possible?

Thanks  best regards,


ce

 Hi all,
 
 I search for a open source solution for video streams. What I want to do is 
 to 
 have a server with a simple GUI on which I can control several video streams 
 that get distributed. The streams have to be distributed to thin clients or 
 video projectors.

I'd settle for gentoo workstations here

 In the case I would use video projectors I have the 
 question: Are there some video projectors with a network interface? If yes, 
 which protocol do they speak, is there a standard?

any of the standards, mpeg2, mpeg4 mpeg4(AVC)

H.264 is my favorite.


 The clients (or projectors) should work this way that I turn them on and it 
 just works, no configuration, no clicking, _nothing_. I know, that I can 
 realize it with scripts, but I completely dunno what software to use. The 
 whole controlling process should be done from the server.

Well that's the aim of many projects, but achieving this sort of level
only comes after a package, matures over time, in my experience.


 
 The server itself should have a simple user interface (for users which dunno 
 much about computers). They can configure which stream to show on which 
 client and also disable the streams.
 
 Does anybody has an idea how such a configuration can be realized and with 
 which software?

This is really sort of a complex/dynamic request. ffmpeg is the basic
tools behind many video packages. Here are the names of a few you might
want to try:

vlc: retransmits video streams
zoneminder: security stream camera viewer
mythtv: digital video recorder
qdvdauthor
mplayer
vdr: set top box for DVB


many other packages exist, just take a look in the
/usr/portage/medida-video/  dir, and emerge one for a test



hth,
James

  So, what am I missing or not doing right?

 I'm having the same trouble with a prism2 PCI card.  I've worked on it
 all day with no luck.

 I've tried wlan-ng which no longer supports pci.  I've tried the
 orinoco_pci driver which I dont think I've ever gotten to work on this
 card, and I've tried both the hostap_pci drivers from the kernel (V
 0.4.4) and the seperate hostap-drivers (V  0.4.7) and none of them
 work.

 I was deep into digging apart udev rules before I remembered that
 network devices dont show up in /dev so I'm not sure if it is a udev
 problem or something else that was upgraded.

I had a friend help me, but I believe the jist of it was.

I didn't have PCMCIA complied into the kernel (it used to be an external
ebuild, but now it's IN the 2.6.15 kernel)

I think I did have to get some new updated PCMCIA tools. 
esearch pcmcia should get you in the ballpark.

These are what I have installed. Don't know if I still need the bottom two
anymore?

Re: [gentoo-user] What happens with masked packages?

2006-02-24 Thread Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.

First of all, thanks for the reply and clarification.  It's always good to 
hear from an actual developer when I start ranting.  [I know I could 
always go pick a fight on gentoo-dev, but I'll reserve that for when I've 
got a justifiable beef, and not just a half-baked rant. ;)]

On Friday 24 February 2006 11:31, Ciaran McCreesh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
wrote about 'Re: [gentoo-user] What happens with masked packages?':
 Top level package.mask means there's something wrong with the upstream
 package. Often this is because it's a beta release. It can also be used
 for major ebuild changes.

Okay, that's clearer, though I still wish beta was more cleanly separated 
from broken -- While betas generally are broken to some degree, they are 
purposely put out there so users will file the bugs upstream.

While I suppose the comments in package.mask do provide a method for 
determining when it's safe to unmask a beta, it's difficult to 
automatically handle betas.  Under my system you just set 
ACCEPT_UPSTREAM=BETA and you get beta packages without the broken ones, 
automatically.

 ~arch means a package is a candidate for going into arch after further
 testing, if said testing does not turn up new bugs. This means that
 both the ebuild *and* the package should be likely to be stable.

So, betas shouldn't ever be ~arch?  Or is your definition of stable broad 
enough to include betas?

 -* means the package is in some way architecture or hardware
 independent (e.g. a binary only package), and so will only run on archs
 that are explicitly listed.

So, I guess glibc-2.3.6-r3.ebuild is using -* incorrectly?

 Any package setting KEYWORDS=-* and nothing else is abusing -*, and
 will flag a warning on the QA checkers.

You mean like gcc-4.1.0_pre20060219.ebuild?

Sorry if I come off too critically [1].  I do see an unclean separation of 
upstream-stable vs. ebuild-stable in the portage system and I'd like to 
see it fixed, but everyday I appreciate how much work goes in to 
maintaining the portage tree and improving the gentoo experience.

 Actually I guess I could just download the the amd64 livecd, mount it,
 copy its kernel to the harddrive (already did emerge coldplug) and boot
 on it. I did, however, find this very interesting so I do wish to
 compile a 64-bit kernel and see what it takes.

Well, when you are already running a 64-bit kernel and have a native gcc, 
you won't have to use the ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE magic.  It just works.

The whole process was also enlightening to me.  I've never cross-compiled a 
kernel, but now I know how to have my dual-Opteron box compile the kernel 
for my Linksys router or my friend's hppa box.

  make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-
  (menuconfig, all, modules_install, etc.)

 At first when typing make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-
 it told me it could not find these files:

 arch/x86_64/kernel/asm-offsets.c:12:21: asm/pda.h: No such file or
 directory arch/x86_64/kernel/asm-offsets.c:16:22: asm/ia32.h: No such

 make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

 # ls -ld include/asm
 lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 10 Feb 24 14:27 include/asm - asm-386

 I solved this by:
 # ln -sfn include/asm-x86_64 include/asm

I think this could also be solved with a 'make mrproper'.

 make install didn't work either

Weird.

 This all did solve the problems. The resulting kernel does indeed boot
 and it does make it possible to chroot into a 64 bit environment. :D
 Thanks a lot. This has been very educating.

Very good!  I'm glad we solved your problem.

Most of these components will issue messages to syslog using the 'mail' 
facility.  If you configure your syslog daemon to route messages from 
this facility to, say, /var/log/mail.log, you'll have all of the info 
you need.


If you're using syslog-ng, the following addition will do this for you:

destination mail { file(/var/log/mail.log perm(0644) ); };
filter f_mail { facility(mail); };
log { source(src); filter(f_mail); destination(mail); };

It's qmail that does that. Unless you mess with it, it does it's own

 I've emerged the latest version of portage (2.1_pre4-r1), put

 radeon module (and a drm.ko, r128.ko, and mach64.ko besides).

I was very sure that I had tested this twice with VIDEO_CARDS=ati. Both 
times the ati flag didn't get enabled i.e. emerge -vp x11-drm showed:

-savage -sis -tdfx -via 0 kB

This of course didn't result in the radeon driver being built. It seems, 
however, that my memory must be failing (can't find any other explanation) 
since when I remove the use flag now and set VIDEO_CARDS=ati the flag does 
get enabled and the radeon module built. I really don't understand this - was

So obviously there is no bug other than me.. ;)

I have been using portage 2.1_pre4-r1 all along. Having portage sending mails

 The server itself should have a simple user interface (for users which dunno

It sounds like you're going to have to integrate a few packages

2006-02-24 Thread John J. Foster

Good evening,

I'm running a KDE desktop and in the File Open dialog boxes on both
Firefox  OOo I can't seem to find where to tell them to display hidden
folders and/or files. Also, in Firefox the only columns available in the
File dialog boxes are Name and Modified. I know size was there in 1.0.7.
These apps are emerged as follows:

//garbanzo/home/festus  emerge -pv mozilla-firefox openoffice

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.1-r1  -debug -gnome
+ipv6 +java -mozdevelop -xinerama -xprint 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] app-office/openoffice-2.0.1  -binfilter +curl -eds
+gnome -gtk +java +kde +ldap -mozilla +xml2 0 kB

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
festus

 At my job, I designed a system we call Pullstart that we use to
 install Gentoo servers. I'm basically building what I call a
 stage-4, which is simply a stage3 updated, with the packages
 we want added to it and a generic kernel built with genkernel.
 It is made available through a tarball on a web server and I
 have a simple script generated by web-based configuration
 utility to install it on the server and configure it for the
 machine (partitionning, networking, etc...). The only thing you
 need to run the script is to have a basic linux system running,
 which you can get with a livecd or a floppy like tomslinux
 (sorry, I forgot the exact name...). Of course, I have an NDA
 and the scripts all belong to the company, so I can't make it
 available, but you can build yourself something similar.


 I use something called systemimager that does a pxeboot install.
 Kinda a pain to do it with gentoo, as they really, really want
 redhat or suse, but it can be done.

Just for the edification of the list, I managed to find exactly what I
needed in the gentoo documentation.

[gentoo-user] Motherboards

I need to purchase a motherboard that supports SATA and am looking for 
recommendations.  I used to use ASUS but  their support is non-existent and 
totally stupid.  Unfortunately this will be for a Windows system but I'd like 
feedback on what is good and bad.

For firefox, if a Save dialog, select Browse for other folders, then
right-click inside the file list on the right  -- not the folder list on

don't have to browse, obviously. Setting will remain until you revoke
it, though possibly not across browser sessions (not sure).

There does not seem to be a global setting for OO.o. Of course, if you
know the filename, you can just type it once in the correct folder; this
also works for folders. In the case of a folder, this will take you to
the folder, where you can then select the file.

However, if you do this a lot, you might consider making a symlink from
the hidden folder or file to a link of the same name, but without the
preceding ., that way the symlink won't be hidden.

 Also, in Firefox the only columns available in the
 File dialog boxes are Name and Modified. I know size was there in 1.0.7.

Yes, apparently Name and Modified are the only columns available. Things
change. 1.5 is a long way from 1.0.7. Myself, I don't need the filesize
in a web-browser save dialog (I find Modified date much more useful),
but everybody's different.

Hope this helps,
Holly

well, I like my Asrock DualSata2 - but I don't use Sata, so I can't say 
anything about the sata support. It should work. but no guarantees.

But on the other hand, it has agppcie, onboard soundnetwork works and their

 Hi there!

 I'm wondering why dts and aac sound coming from DVD is perfectly
 transmitted over the spdif port (the A/V receiver recognizes the format ans
 switches to dts/dolby mode, and -- much important -- I can hear the movie's
 sound); But if I try the same with a normal divx-file or try to play
 anything else, nothing comes out over the spdif port, only via the analog
 audio jacks I can hear something.
What program is playing back the DVD?  Is this different from the player 
playing the other media files?

Since something can play out the spdif port then it might be important to look 
at that program's setup for audio output.  What device is it using etc.

What an unenlighten troll.  I have plenty of experience with AIX's volume 
manager.  LVM2 can stand up to it any day.  As a matter of fact Linux's LVM 
is about to completely surpass what is available in AIX.  LVM2 can do cluster 
locking and management.  You can use LVM2 with Multipathing tools just as you 
can under any commercial Unix.  LVM2 is more than ready for prime time as can 
be seen by looking at RHEL and SLES distributions.

Linux is not a toy and neither is LVM2.  It can be used as a toy or a learning 
device, but it is not relegated to the closet of geeks.  And don't get me 
started on AIX if you don't happen to have the OnlineJFS sets installed.  
Also the draconian having to resize the filesystem by calculating the number 
of 512 byte blocks in the filesystem.

Do your homework please.  Just because you've dealt exclusively or extensively 
with one flavor of *nix doesn't mean that others aren't up to the task.  And 
just because it's IBM's Unix doesn't make it more or less ready for the 
enterprise, it just makes it proprietary.  You'd do well to judge based on 
features, capabilities and the completeness of the tools.
