Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] pbbuttonsd question
I have an ATI card that is using the generic radeon driver at the moment. Yes, lcd brightness is working the so is the ambient light snesor - I base that claim ont he fact that the lcd brightness changes intensity when i turn off the lights. Eric JOAN MASSICH VALL wrote: Do you have working the lcd brightness??, what kind of grafic card do you have?. I'm using a 12" pbook 867Mhz with a gentoo from two years ago and I don't check hardware configuration since a long time ago. Is the nvidia and lcd light runing?? tnks, ( sorry for my english) I am running gentoo on a 15" aluminum powerbook. I am using the 2.6.16.r kernel and pbbuttonsd 0.7.4. I have been going over the man pages online documentation but cannot figure out how to get the illuminated keyboard working. pbbuttonsd does not error during load. The pbbuttonsd.conf file has not been modified from the default at the moment. i2c-dev is compiled into the kernel, not as a module. The LCD brightness buttons work but the keyboard light buttons dont. The ambient light sensor appears to working because the lcd automatically adjusts brightness when I turn out the lights. There are 8 i2c devices in /dev. What dependencies does i2c have? what dependencies does pbbuttonsd have? Thanks for your input... Eric Robertson -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I have an older model G4 ibook (with a G3 proc) which does not have the lighted keyboard feature... check to make sure you have event interface enabled (the EVDEV module) in your kernel. Also enable APM emulation or something like that under the new Mac drivers menu. I've also noticed that the pbbuttonsd.conf default kbd light value is 0, maybe that needs a different value? Have you tried changing the light sensor threshold values as well? also running pbbcmds? any luck with that? I dunno...hope this was somewhat helpful... best, alden Thanks for the suggestion - EVDEV is enabled as part of the kernel. apm_emu is loading as a module. My pbbuttonsd.conf has the kbd illumination value is set to 0 but it is also commented out. Since I was looking at my kernel config I went ahead made 2 changes compiled a new kernel to test. old kernel (per the .config file): i2c support config_i2c=y config_i2c_chardev=y i2c algorithms config_i2c_algobit=y config_i2c_algopcf is not set config_i2c_algopca is not set i2c hardware bus support ... config_i2c_powermac=y ... misc. i2c chip support ...

When I boot back to the old kernel (the one without the debug_core debug_bus enabled) it stops working. lcd brightness works on both of them works on both.

SATA or real SCSI?
I got this information through udevinfo shell command.
/dev/sdb has BIOS boot priority, so I installed grub on it.
Try to give sda boot priority, install grub on it and tell grub to boot
Linux from sdb, see if that helps.
But when I boot the system with the kernel that I compiled (yes, I
put all modules/drivers required for my scsi controllers and sata on
it), the udev recognize the disks in a different order, such as:
BUS=scsi
/dev/sda - SYSFS{model}==SysOp
BUS=scsi
/dev/sdb - SYSFS{model}==Dados
Just a guess, maybe because of the boot prio.
so, when gentoo activate udev the system shows a message that the
boot device was not specified or not recognized. I go to shell and
type dmesg, the disks is recognized but in such order that I said, not
as the same as livecd. I started up the system with livecd again, than
I created the file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules with the following
rules:
BUS==scsi, SYSFS{model}==SAMSUNG SP123245, NAME=/dev/sda
BUS==scsi, SYSFS{model}==SysOp , NAME=/dev/sdb
BUS==scsi, SYSFS{model}==Dados , NAME=/dev/sdc
and finally I typed:
# udevstartup
# exit
# umount /mnt/gentoo/dev/ /mnt/gentoo/proc /mnt/gentoo
# reboot
The system continue showing me the same message, after activate
udev, the boot device was not find or not recognized.
Well, udev doesn't run until the kernel has booted.
So, what I'm doing wrong? All pointers/suggestion are accepted. When
I installed grub on /dev/sdb when I was on livecd everything went
fine.
Could you post your grub.conf, partition information (/etc/fstab) and the
relevant parts of dmesg output, please?

1. You probably need the := syntax to prevent later rules from
over-riding your settings. For example, in 50-udev.rules, I see:
50-udev.rules:KERNEL==sd*,NAME=%k, GROUP=disk
2. You should not have the /dev/ part of NAME.

Re: [gentoo-user] udev rules and boot + SCSI disks
Richard,
You said that one rule can override other, but if you read udev
manual ( http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html ), you'll
realize that what you said I think is incorrect.
Files in /etc/udev/rules.d/ are parsed in lexical order. udev will
stop processing rules as soon as it finds a matching rule in a file
for the new item of hardware that has been detected. It is important
that your own rules get processed before the udev defaults, otherwise
your own naming schemes will not take effect! I suggest that you keep
your own rules in a file at /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules (this
doesn't exist by default - create it). As 10 comes before 50, you know
that your rules will be looked at first. It is important that the
filenames of your rule files end with the .rules suffix, otherwise
they will not be used.
Let me know if I am wrong too? :-)
Leandro.

I take it you want these run when the interface comes up? If so, put them
in the postup() function in /etc/conf.d/net. Something like
postup() {
if [ ${IFACE} == eth0 ]; then
ip tunnel add vpn0 mode gre remote 1.1.1.1 local 2.2.2.2 dev
eth0
ip addr add 3.3.3.3 dev vpn0
ip link set vpn0 mtu 1420 up
fi
}
You may need to put the shutdown commands in predown().
See /etc/conf.d/net.example for more info. I use ~arch, so I don't know
for sure how much of this works in the current stable baselayout, but
I've been using these functions for over a year, so I guess it's in
stable by now.

Device Drivers --- Graphics support --- Console display driver support --- [*] Video mode selection support Compiling the kernel that way, and booting from the new kernel, enables you to select VGA modes... and you don't have to muck around with framebuffer at all. In addition to selecting VGA modes, you can also influence your display by selecting different sized fonts. VGA defaults to 8x16 fonts, which are huge. vga=6 selects 8x8 CGA font on a 640x480 text console, which gives 80 columns x 60 rows... but is rather hard to read. I set vga = 6.

[gentoo-user] switching arch from stable to testing?
Howdy, My originally stable (x86) system has a lot of testing packages (via package.keywords) and I'm looking to switch to a pure testing system. I thought all that was necessary was to change x86 to ~x86 in make.conf's USE variable. No joy. emerge --info still shows stable x86. I'm an hour into googling, reading the gentoo handbook, still no joy. Any ideas? TIA, Roy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems after upgrading
On 5/28/06, Colleen Beamer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Yesterday, among the packages in my upgrade list was kde-3.5. After getting the problem with perl-cleaner solved (thanks to the help on this list), the upgrade went apparently smoothly. According to what I read in some of the Gentoo documentation after booting into kde-3.5, I had to rebuild some of the packages against kde-3.5 in order for them to work, for example amarok. The rebuild of this went fine. I can listen to my music collection with amarok. I can play CD's with kscd. The problem seems to be with kaudio creator. And it is acting erratically. First, when I tried to rip a cd, it wouldn't encode it, nor would it let me configure the encoder (oggenc). I'm not sure how, but somehow, I got passed that, but the application would freeze part way through the ripping process. When I got the message that the application was not responding and I responded affirmatively when asked if I wanted to terminate it, ps -ax still showed the application as running and I couldn't kill it with kill -9. At this point, if I continued using the computer without a reboot, inevitably some other application would freeze up on me. However, if I rebooted and didn't use kaudiocreator again, everything seems to be fine. This time, I did check the list archives, but didn't notice anything relevant. I checked the bug list as well and there appears to be a couple of kdemultimedia bugs that have been reported. Whether or not my problem has something to do with the kdemultimedia bugs, I'm not sure. However, if anyone has any ideas here, I am open to suggestions. Nothing obvious comes to mind, except checking dmesg (or /var/log/messages) for anything ominous occuring at the time of the trouble. You could also check ~/.xsession-errors for any error messages from application(s). -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Dale :-) I didn't understand why the hit 5 times button stuff on me. So, checked gmail, and voilá, like someone said, its filtering its own mistakes. Its clearly a problem with gmail, and now I'm concerned that most of my emails may have this problems. But, as someone also clearly posted, they are all the exact same message, I guess gmail just assumed a mistake when sending and retried it till get a success confirmation (wich occured by the fifth message). I'm sorry for that, but as clearly stated, it was not my fault. Maybe something regarding my proxy at work, because this was the first time I posted from work... Dunno. Anyway, I'm sorry again. But you Iain Buchanan, I won't forgive you! :-) At least till your mail client do something stupid *lol* Please let me now if this happens again, and I'll post a warning both to the Gmail Team and to the administrator of my proxy server.
