[gentoo-user] flash drive mounting
Hi guys, I'm having trouble mounting a jetflash 110 onto usb. The stick is on a usb port and my kernel supports usb mass storage and dos fs's. I don't think the stick needs a special driver. In the manual it says I should be able to mount with: mount -a -t msdos /dev/sda1 /mnt/jetflash but there is no such thing as /dev/sda1. No /dev/sd?? what so ever. What am I missing?

On 5/15/06, maxim wexler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kernel panic! That's what happens. Why? Is it because it couldn't find your root device? Did it detect your hard drives correctly on boot? Or was it because it found your root, but failed to mount it? Or is it something completely unrelated to mounting root? The specific panic message is significant here if you expect us to help you. R. Fish, I didn't respond to your request for dmesg output because I already had a couple days earlier: No, you posted the *one line* from your dmesg that indicated that you were booting from the wrong kernel. That was even before you made the claim that you were running the old kernel, but somehow booting from the new kernel, which was the message that I was replying to. The dmesg output would have confirmed or contradicted that claim, and the single line you posted earlier had nothing to do with verifying the kernel version you booted from. FYI, one of the first things the kernel does when it boots is to log essentially the same information as uname produces. It does this before initializing devices, mounting filesystems, or much of anything else. It also shows up in /var/log/messages to, and looks something like this: Linux version 2.6.16-suspend2-r5 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)) #25 SMP Sun May 14 03:19:08 MST 2006 The above tells you a lot...that I compiled my kernel at 03:19 on May 14th. It also tells you that was the 25th time I compiled this kernel version. I was obviously up late trying a few things! :-) So if you do a dmesg | grep 'Linux version' ; uname -a, and they somehow report different things, then what you claimed could be true. Now to be fair I did not actually ask you to post your dmesg output. I asked how you checked that you were booting the new kernel, and suggested that checking dmesg output would be the best. Of course, if you did not know what to look for there, posting the output would have been fine. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] External firewire drive...
Hi there, Can anyone give me some quick pointers to mounting an external firewire drive under Gentoo, please? I've just installed 2006.0 on a new system, and pretty much used the exact same .config as the LiveCD's kernel when building my own (`zcat /proc/config.gz /usr/src/linux.config`) so I'm guessing that all I'm missing is some modprobes. I thought that under udev, the kernel was supposed to be quite clever about recognising devices. Do I need to emerge coldplug, or is there anything else I can do to help things along? If I boot from a LiveCD or Knoppix these are always very good about finding all the devices in the system and making a mount point for them - are there any utilities for my installed Gentoo system that will do similar. Many thanks in advance for any pointers, Stroller. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Udev should recognise the drive and create a device node, but creating
mount points is not udev's job. You need a device manager for that. If
you use KDE, especially 3.5, it should handle it for you, provided you
have the hal USE flag set. With other WMs, use ivman.
You don't need a specific udev rule to use a fwdisk, but it does make the
naming of the device, and the mount point, more consistent. I use this
rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules, but you'll need to change the
model_id value, unless you have the same enclosure as me.

That depends on your udev version. The latest ~arch udev doesn't need

That should work. Making directories globally writeable may not be
secure, but it's good for testing. However, using a device manager makes
life easier, as the mount point always belongs to the user running the
device manager.
I know I can change permissions in /etc/fstab, but I don't know yet
whether I want to add this device to there (even with the noauto
option) as it won't always be connected.
With HAL/D-BUS/pmount and KDE or ivman, you don't need anything in fstab.
You need a device manager for that. If
you use KDE, especially 3.5, it should handle it for you, provided you
have the hal USE flag set. With other WMs, use ivman.

ivman has to run as the user, from desktop startup. I've not tried
running it without a desktop, but you could put something like 'killall
ivman' in KDE's autostart directory. then it should switch off ivman and
use its own device manager whenever you load the desktop. I don't run
without a desktop that often, not on machines that I would use with
removable devices, so I just use pmount from the command line in those
cases. pmount mounts as a user and creates the mount point, just as the
GUI device managers do.
...I use this

I take it you don't use USB devices at the same time. Persistent naming
makes life a to easier if you have multiple devices, especially as pmount
(and so KDE and ivman) use the device name for the mount point. Whatever
else I may have plugged in, and whatever computer I am using (my desktop
uses sda for a hard disk) my firewire drive is always mounted
at /media/fwdisk.
Anyway, I don't want removable disks having device names anything
remotely like my system disks. forgetting which computer I am using when
I type mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sda1 could ruin my day :(

Dear Gentoo Users and Dev, I've just installed on my desktop the last gentoo-sources package ( in portage (2.6.16-r7). It seems that the hyperthreading is unvailable since when I do : 'cat /proc/cpuinfo', I can just see a single computer. That is really strange since I was using the previous package (gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r6) with hyperthreading feature enabled. To build my kernel, I use genkernel (with --menuconfig option). I keep the same configuration as the one for gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r6, that I loaded.

[gentoo-user] Unpacking an ISO Image
Hi folks, Quick question. Is there any way that one can unpack an ISO image: extracting the data that is contained within it like a tarball, without having to burn it to a CD? I'm sure there's an option somewhere within either the mkisofs or cdrecord man pages, but I feel like I'm searching for a needle in a haystack. Thanks in advance.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo ADSL wireless router (3 questions)
I'd like it to behave that way as much as possible so my Gentoo router can handle as many of the router duties as possible. I've disabled the Westell's firewall. What other types of things should I look for in the Westell's configuration screen to disable? Is there anything that might prevent this modem/router from behaving like a modem for all intents and purposes so my Gentoo router can behave like a router connected to a modem? Some routers have a DMZ Port or DMZ Host option that will make the router automatically forward all ports to the machine configured on that port. If you like, you can even disable things like name serving and internal DHCP and let your Gentoo router handle those (if you followed the Home Router guide and used dnsmasq). If you have no Windows boxes on your network, you can safely disable WINS and/or NetBIOS name resolution. Ryan Sounds good to me. Could this be the same type of feature as the DMZ Port/Host: ### Static NAT Set Up an IP Address to be your Default NAT Destination. Static NAT Device or specify IP Address All unsolicited inbound traffic will be sent to the above device. Note: Static Nat and IP Passthrough are mutually exclusive features. ### - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Yeay! Result! Gnome and KDE look cool. 'none' looks yukky. So, I guess mine picks up none, which is puzzling given my USE flags - I mean, what's the point setting flags then? Well the use flags just add the ability to support (and add dependancies on) the given environment by building the plugin. If you check the output of ldd /usr/lib/openoffice/program/*, you will see several libraries that depend upon KDE components. Removing the kde use flag would prevent those libraries from being built with openoffice. The choice is made at runtime whether to *use* those libraries. As far as I can tell (I have not checked the OOo sources), OOo decides to use KDE based on the KDE_FULL_SESSION environment variable. Mine is set to 'true'. Do you have something else? Maybe you are not running a the full KDE environment somehow? How can I make OOo pick a particular desktop env permanently? Where can I set it up?

The choice is made at runtime whether to *use* those libraries. As far as I can tell (I have not checked the OOo sources), OOo decides to use KDE based on the KDE_FULL_SESSION environment variable. Mine is set to 'true'. Do you have something else? Maybe you are not running a the full KDE environment somehow? Where/how do you check that? I am running fluxbox and a number of KDE apps which I launch as and when needed. More rarely I launch the full KDE as a DE (BTW, are you running KDE as a DE?). It is worth mentioning that when I launch OOo after KDE has started it readilly assumes the KDE icons. However, launching it from within fluxbox with no KDE running it assumes the none env. This was not the case in the past when the ooo-kde flag worked beautifully. Now it is of course ignored. :-( How can I make OOo pick a particular desktop env permanently? Where can I set it up?

I have had problems installing the vmware tools in Gentoo though, they will install but will not run. Well, that's encouraging... thanks. Let me ask a few more things please. Sorry about the verbosity level but I'm kind of confused about how to go at this. My vmware installs were perforumed on a laptop running a P4 3.2 gh. That was due to being on the road at the time. My main desktop machine has been a gentoo box for some time now, an older p4 with a now meager, 2ghz, but the box gave up the ghost a few weeks ago. I commandered an athlon64 3400+ that was running winxp and being used to crunch video transforamtions from one kind of output to another and other intensive chores like running adobe photoshop or especially adobe After Effects which is really cpu and ram hungry. I just highhandedly moved all that to 2 other winxp machines both p4 3.2ghz that also process and edit video or related graphics, and am using it for gentoo. As time has worn on I'm seeing the result of using such a powerhouse for an OS that doesn't need it. I'm missing the ability to pass intensive (video related) tasks to the athlon such as basic video editing while doing the effects on one of the other winxp boxes all across a gigabit lan. Or vice versa. Linux (no judgement here) simply does not offer the applications that can hold a candle to adobe products. So I don't need all that horsepower for gentoo or any other linux, and am now missing the firepower of the athlon64 for video work. So I'm thinking I could solve this problem by reinstalling winxp and putting gentoo in a vmware. (or getting another machine entirely, used and cheap for linux) I think I'm liking the first of those since it would be applicable to any powerfull machine in any circumstance, given a powerfull machine and lots of space. But I recall not being able to get gentoo installed in a vmware setup. I don't recall why now. I'll probably eventually follow the second course too when I run into somethbing being sold cheaply or given away. So cutting to the chase here: Do you think this being an athlon64 will have a bad effect on gentoo install or will it install as on any other machine and maybe even allow me to use the 64bit version if I felt adventurous? Do you think running gentoo as a main desktop as I have been when it owned the machine, doing all mail and most web related stuff like keeping a site up or just browsing, running most backup related stuff with rsync etc etc will work out in a vmware setting? Considering some rsyncing can be pretty labor intensive or compiling something like a kernel or emacs will this just bog down other work the athlon may be doing? The athlon is an athlon64 3400+ at 2.2ghz (socket 754). It is about the equivalent of a p4 at 3.2ghz in my experience. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Spam, spam, spam

Maybe I haven't trained bogofilter enough or something. After three weeks, I have yet to have one spam marked as spam. It gets marked unsure, for which I have procmail stick those in a maildir folder. I want something easy to setup and use. Right now I have a Spam maildir. Under that folder I have mark-bad, mark-good and unsure. I move email to mark-bad/mark-good as needed and have a cronjob that tells bogofilter to check those folders and update. What is really frustrating is that I keep getting the same spam in my inbox. Some viagra junk. I have told bogofilter it is spam about 10 times in the last 2 weeks. So, what is a good _home user_ setup? I don't want to use the built-in junk filter of Thunderbird because I get my emails over IMAP from different locations, so I want 1 spam solution.

It is quite easy to set up, features auto-learning, and is very efficient (Ever since I turned it on, I haven't got a single spam, and I have so few false positive that I just tell it to trash the mail it marks as spam). If I may suggest two things : - Use spamassassin through its daemon (spamd), it's faster. - You should consider dropping procmail in favour of courier-maildrop, since you seem to be using courier-imap. I find it more flexible and better integrated with the imap server. -- Jonathan (Note : that is just a suggestion, I am not looking to start a flamewar or anything.

Hang on, hang on - just was reading the VMWare website to get the speed - evidently in VMWare Workstation 5.5 (I assume you're talking about using Workstation and not one of the other product lines?), they do offer 64-bit CPU virtualization for the guest OS if your actual CPU is on their whitelist (available in PDF at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/processor_check.pdf ). So, I suppose, you might just be able to do a 64 bit install on the system. Let me know if it works. ;) Do you think running gentoo as a main desktop as I have been when it owned the machine, doing all mail and most web related stuff like keeping a site up or just browsing, running most backup related stuff with rsync etc etc will work out in a vmware setting? It should, I didn't run into any userland issues that could be attributed to VMWare once I had the system up and the kernel configured/built properly to support the hardware. Considering some rsyncing can be pretty labor intensive or compiling something like a kernel or emacs will this just bog down other work the athlon may be doing? There will be a performance impact to the actual OS on the system - it has to share hardware resources with essentially a second OS - but not only that, it also has to do the work of virtualizing all the hardware that the second OS is using - so you will see a (probably quite) noticable performance impact on your host OS and the other apps that it is running - however, how noticableit is, and whether or not the noticability of it is determined to be too high for the other purposes that this machine will be serving, will have to be determined through experimentation. HTH - now I'm going to have to go and read up on the other new features in version 5.5, see if I stuck my foot in my mouth anywhere else. grin -James The athlon is an athlon64 3400+ at 2.2ghz (socket 754).

Mine only shows me one measure at a time, but a picture in the Rosegarden handbook showed multiple measures in the same screen and the handbook seemed to think that this feature was on by default, but I can't figure out how to turn it on... Michael, In my use of RG it has never been a problem to see more than one measure. The only time I've seen a single measure is when the track has only a single measure of MIDI data. Sometimes a default track will show up this way. If that's the case then in track view extend the region to have more measures and even with no data in them you should see more measures in the notation view. Note that I haven't been using RG in quite awhile and it's possible that something has changed or a bug has crept in. I suspect that Chris and the other RG devs are still very much able to answer these questions best on the RG-users list. Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Harry Putnam writes: Do you think this being an athlon64 will have a bad effect on gentoo install or will it install as on any other machine and maybe even allow me to use the 64bit version if I felt adventurous? It should install as on any other machine. Install an i586 or i686 build I would think. I'm not sure if you can use a 64 bit guest OS in a 32 bit vmware install, that would be worth looking into or at least testing. Do you think running gentoo as a main desktop as I have been when it owned the machine, doing all mail and most web related stuff like keeping a site up or just browsing, running most backup related stuff with rsync etc etc will work out in a vmware setting? Yes, I think that would work out quite well, even if vmware-tools won't work for you (the only reason I thought to install it was because of a clock sync issue). Considering some rsyncing can be pretty labor intensive or compiling something like a kernel or emacs will this just bog down other work the athlon may be doing? It is usually pretty good at sharing, but doing tons of things in the guest and host OS at once can bog down the resources. The best thing I could say for that is take a break from the video work when you want to update world. :) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Uninstalling portage
I am trying to build a number of minimal Gentoo images without portage installed. The approach I was taking was to build a master image with all the software that I need according to the standard Gentoo installation instructions, and then remove portage and create the minimal images. If I ever decide that I need to install new software or upgrade something, I'll make the changes to the master and generate new minimal images. My question is, how do I correctly uninstall portage? My main concern is the several hundred megabytes taken up by /usr/portage, /var/cache/edb, /var/db/pkg, /var/lib/portage and wherever else portage stores data; I'm not really concerned with the binaries, but would prefer to remove them as well, just to be tidy. Will emerge -C portage clean up everything safely, or will I have to clean up some directories manually? For that matter, what are all the directories used for data by portage, that I could delete on a system that doesn't use portage? Thanks, Rennie deGraaf -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
