[gentoo-user] question about wireless setting
Hello list. I have a laptop I installed 2.6.30-r8 I wish to use wireless. So. Type lspci. localhost ~ # lspci 05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) And type iwconfig. localhost ~ # iwconfig lono wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. localhost ~ # I could see wireless driver when typed lspci. But, when typed iwconfig, I can’t see wlan0. So typed this emerge ipw3945 and modprobe ipw3945 but result is same. localhost ~ # iwconfig lono wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. localhost ~ # what is a problem?

On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 06:54:45PM -0700, Penguin Lover Maxim Wexler squawked: you guys are killing me -- the problem goes away when the ac cord is plugged in. I open files watch videos surf the web and so on -- no problems. I'm no expert, but that would seem to suggest that the fs is OK, no? I set this forth above. Did your eyes glaze over at that point? Nope. But please clarify if I remember wrong, since I have been only half-following this thread since the beginning: (a) When AC cord is plugged in, fsck runs on boot. (b) When running on battery, fsck refuses to run on boot. (c) When fsck does not run, your computer refuses to mount /var and /home? Are all three of the above assertions correct? If not, please correct our impressions. If yes, then what Alan and Neil said are perfectly reasonable: (i) You have a broken ext2 file system. Probably marked dirty from a bad unmount prior to shutdown. (ii) On boot, when the AC cord is plugged in, fsck runs, so any error is fixed, and if no error, the file system is marked clean again. (ii') When running on battery, because devs don't want fsck to run half way and have the computer run out of battery (which may corrupt the FS beyond whatever state it is already in), fsck does not run. (iii) Since the file system is marked clean, when the AC cord is in, the system boots fine. Directories are mounted, you can use it as usual. (iii') When the AC cord is out, the file system is still marked dirty, since fsck did not have a chance to look at it. Mount refuses to process those directories because Bad Things (tm) can happen. So your boot fails. Again, if (a-c) are correct, then what Neil and Alan said does NOT in anyway contradict your observation I quoted just above; in fact, your quote seems to make their diagnosis even more reasonable. According to what I vaguely remember of this thread (again correct me if I am wrong), you see the symptom that (iii) behaves differently from (iii'), and want to fix it by making its immediate causes (ii) and (ii') agree. What Neil and Alan are telling you is that (ii) vs (ii') should never be a problem (and I agree: on my Gigabyte netbook my ext2 and my ext3 partitions never showed any behaviour like yours), and in fact it is probably by design. That the reason why (iii) and (iii') differ is actually (i). If you think this analysis is incorrect, please point out exactly where my assumptions went awry.

Well, a question: after doing whatever Roy told you to do, does the computer run fsck on boot at all (both with and without AC cord please)? If it does not run fsck, then it further vindicates the points of many of the individuals in this thread. Try booting into a rescue medium and checking those filesystems.

It uses a master password and a flexible set of parameters to generate passwords and if necessary, enter them on a site. snip Once you enter the master password and select the appropriate settings (length, character set, hashing algorithm etc etc), the password will be generated. You can also use the current website as a salt, so using the same settings will yield a different password for different sites. Isn't this just security by obscurity? You still use the same master password: so finding out the one password is enough to break into ALL your sites. The only additional protection you gain is by that the Bad Guys do not know that you are using the tool. The salt hardly matters: to make sure the plugin will behave the same if you run firefox from different computers, they are still using the same hash function and same salt for the same site. If someone is saavy enough to know the list of websites you access and the usernames you use to access them, then that someone should also be able to find out the tool you are using for the passwords. In the end, I think it offers only marginally more protection than having the same very strong password on all your sites. The only case I think encryption/hash approach is useful is when you have a low security account (say an online game, or a MUD that you connect to via telnet) whose password is transmited in plaintext. If you insist on only using one master password, and don't want to bother memorizing a different one for the low security account, I guess by passing your password through a one-way hash makes it harder for your other accounts to be compromised.

No you can't. You see the pci devices. You don't see drivers. You need

So typed this

Did these two commands return successfully?
After running your modprobe, what does lsmod show?
Also, what kernel version are you running? If it is reasonably new,
(newer than 2.6.24), then don't use the standalone drivers from
portage, please use the driver provided in the kernel. See
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Iwlwifi
for example configurations for kernels 2.6.{25,26,30}
But first you will have to remove ipw3945 and ipw3945-ucode from your
system, and you will also need to instal iwl3945-ucode instead.

It may be only when doing the setup but you could be right. Of course, I also read a study done by a group of Universities a few years ago that said a LOT of the security stuff that is done doesn't really work. If a person uses common information for their password, then anything the websites do is pretty much meaningless anyway. I actually sent a link to my bank regarding the specific set up they are using. I think the point is, a good secure password is the best policy. For me tho, having a good tool that is local and secure to type that sucker in for me is really good. I'm not worried about someone stealing my computer and gaining access that way, I'm just worried that someone could keep banging away at my password until it guesses it. As mentioned before, my password is not anything related to information about me but just a random bunch of stuff. Given time tho, a hacker would eventually guess it. Dale :-) :-)

I get that from here: r...@smoker / # equery list -p net-libs/ortp [ Searching for package 'ortp' in 'net-libs' among: ] * installed packages * Portage tree (/usr/portage) [-P-] [ ] net-libs/ortp-0.13.1-r1 (0) [-P-] [M~] net-libs/ortp-0.15.0 (0) [-P-] [ ] net-libs/ortp-0.15.0_p1 (0) [-P-] [M~] net-libs/ortp-0.16.0 (0) r...@smoker / # Two options. 1: Convince portage not to install ortp somehow since I don't need it anyway. 2: Figure out where it is so portage can find the package it needs which appears to not be in the tree and may be a seriously old version to boot. I prefer #1 but #2 would be OK. I'm scared of option #3. I don't want to add any more overlay stuff. It makes portage really slow here It takes several minutes sometimes for it to calculate what is needed for updates and such even where there is very little to update. Let's drift away from that if we can. ;-) Since I am back to my trusty old Seamonkey 1, let's see if this works better. Ideas anyone?

Re: [gentoo-user] fsck won't work if ac cord not attached?!
Roy Marples, who is a(the?) openrc developer, roped me into using git to do whatever git is supposed to do and now it's much worse. /dev/sd1 and 2 fail to mount as before PLUS many init services fail to start PLUS it no longer matters if the battery is being used or the ac cord: Chaos ensues, castles crumble, empires totter ... If you don't know what git is, then probably it's a good idea to stay far, far away from it. It's just a repository for a number of project source code. But Gentoo is already building things from source and helping you to configure that source code correctly based on your make.conf settings and so on. Unless you are a developer or trying to get around bugs in portage where the ebuild isn't working, you should need to use git as a Gentoo user. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with git, but I don't think it's very good advice in this situation. I can't see at all how it's related to the problem except that someone who's not involved with Gentoo wants to be sure it's not a Gentoo issue. But there's no reason to think it's a Gentoo-specific problem. And, for the record, while people might be arguing with you, it's not malicious. We are only trying to help. ~daid

Re: [gentoo-user] OO fails with useless 65280 error on unoxml
Somewhere in this thread was a mention of a failed patch. Where version of patch are you using? If it's 2.6, downgrade it as 2.6 is horribly broken http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2009/12/01/gentoo-service-announcement-keep-clear-of- gnu-patch-2-6 There was some patching things that caught my eye related to redland. However, I found out that it was applied in both OO.o-3.0.0 and OO.o-3.1.1 and so I assumed it was not to blame. I can't remember if I actually posted about it in my brainstorming.

Helmut. So it means I could always connect to internet through my remote server. Anywhere I am on this planet I connect to my server and it/he get the content for me. Kinda sweet. Does it mean it could balance/regulate and augmente my bandwith power for my workstation? Laurent Well, if you mean always connect to internet through your remote server in terms of bypassing a firewall or silent proxy, possibly but not guaranteed (and likely against whatever agreement you have that put you in a position to be behind that firewall or proxy anyhow). To use it for that purpose, you would have to be able to, at the least, get to your remote server... which is just somewhere else on the internet itself. As for augmenting bandwidth for your local system, using the remote one... not really, no. Whatever link you use to get to the remote server is likely to be the same you're going to use to get to anywhere else on the internet, and it's that last link that tends to be the most limiting factor on speed. I have, however, used a slow link to connect to a system I had on a faster link somewhere, downloaded the files I wanted on that system, then pulled them off onto a usb drive when I was physically with that system the next time... but trying to pull from that system to where I was controlling it from would have been the same as, if not slower than, pulling those files directly from the original source. So an all around yes, but no, answer ;) -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M. Murphy

Maybe this is just extra incentive for you to transition to KDE 4. :) I have KDE 4, it doesn't work for some of the things I do therefore it is not a option at the moment. It's not incentive that is lacking, it is being able to do the things that I need KDE 4 to do that is lacking. It's getting there but it's not there yet. Dale :-) :-)

Fine, then read what I say and, until you know better, believe it. Your problem has nothing to do with openrc, kernels, etc. Your filesystem is not cleanly umounting, and thus is marked dirty, mount will not work because its considered danger to mount an unclean fs. FSCK will not run cause it is extremely dangerous to run while on battery, so this is all EXPECTED BEHAVIOR from the software. Running fsck every boot is a workaround, not an answer to your problem.

[gentoo-user] how to know which driver a device is using?
Hi, when i start my system from gentoo live dvd, all my hardware works fine. but if i want to have a small system, so i removed many drivers when i am compiling my own system. the result is some times, i do not know which driver should i choose for my hardware, and my hardware cannot use when i boot from my new system. i wonder if there is a way to see which driver is loaded for my hardware. this should help me choose the drivers when compiling my system. -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/ http://meme.yahoo.com/davidshen84/

It gives as good as dmidecode, at least in my case. hwinfo and lspci provide similar info to lshw. They can be found in sys-apps/hwinfo and sys-apps/pciutil. For grins, whenever I restart my computer I run hwinfo, lshw, lspci, and a variety of other utilities and save the results.

I don't think the drivers have ever changed on my system since I built it. I have had to add a couple, ethernet card and a SATA card, but other than that, it should be the same. I have to say tho, booting a CD and doing lspci -k or -v is the best way to get the right drivers. That is providing the hardware works when that is done. Dale :-) :-)
