not and .38 I have issues with when plugging in usb stick. Are the kernel guys

[gentoo-user] Internet

2011-06-14 Thread Cahn Roger
Hi,

Yesterday I tried to make a connection between my three PC
to manage my Epson printer: two with Win XP and Gentoo
and one with Win7.
I didn't succeed, but that's not important!
After reboot of the three machines
I went back to Win7: no problem
 and to my laptop with Xp and Gentoo: OK.

But the problem is on my desktop with two HD,
one with XP and the other with Gentoo amd64.
None of them can connect to internet neither gentoo nor XP.
I tryed many things (revdep-rebuild, verification in the box, etc.)
but I was unsuccessful. Here is what I become at boot:

Hi Roger,

It looks like your DHCP server isn't serving addresses.

If it's your Internet router you might try resetting it (power cycling
it.)  I've seen them get wedged specifically relating to DHCP with many
different consumer brands.

Hi Roger,

The log you showed indicates that the PC is unable to reach the DHCP server.
As the issue occurs with both Operating Systems on the same machine makes me 
think there is an issue with the network-connection.

Can you check the network cable and connections to ensure that is actually 
correct?

[gentoo-user] to USE loop-aes or not to USE loop-aes, that is the confusion

2011-06-14 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

When the story begins I had installed util-linux-2.18-r1.
Then emerge told me, that it wants to downgrade to util-linux-2.12,
because I hade set USE=loop-aes for that.
Util-linux-2.19.something was on the road too...
After some inverstigation I thought USE=crypt had replced
USE=loop-aes, I removed USE=loop-aes and emerged util-linux.
I upgraded loop-aes to 3.6c
Emerge decided to install util-linux-2.19.something.

Now, I got this:
emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy 
=sys-apps/util-linux-2.12r[crypt,loop-aes].
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-apps/util-linux-2.18-r1 (Change USE: +loop-aes)
(dependency required by sys-fs/loop-aes-3.6c [installed])
(dependency required by @selected [set])
(dependency required by @world [argument])

I totally confused here.

What is the difference of 
USE=loop-aes
and
USE=crypt?

Why are the versions oscillate that way?

HELP ! :)

Thank you very much for any hint in advance!:)

 Well, it serves adresses for W7, and on the laptop for XP and Gentoo.
 The box is configured with fixed adresses.

Your DHCP server serves addresses for other hardware OK?

Just not on this box running either Gentoo or W7?

When you say fixed addresses you mean the DHCP server gives out a
fixed IP address based on the MAC address of the requestor?

Can you check the DHCP logs on the DHCP server?

 
  If it's your Internet router you might try resetting it 
 
 I'll try it!

If that doesn't work, maybe a wireshark or tcpdump on your Gentoo
box and force it to send another DHCP request.

If you're using fixed IP addresses you might try manually configuring
the Gentoo box with it's IP address and see if networking all works
fine then?

It depends on your router.  Usually routers have at least a GUI control panel

Are your running some sort of an access control list on the router and have 
not included your MAC address?

The Rx bytes is zero - your router does not seem to respond.

Does this also stay zero if you set up a static address and route on the PC 
and try to ping the router?

Try setting an address manually:

 route add default gw 192.168.1.1 (assuming that this is your router) 

and then try to ping it:

 ping -c 3 192.168.1.1

If you can ping it and get a response then the problem is probably with the

 Your DHCP server serves addresses for other hardware OK?

Yes. A PC with W7, my laptop with XP and Gentoo
Both work fine.

The problem is on my desktop with two HD: XP and Gentoo
Both OS can't connect to Internet.

 When you say fixed addresses you mean the DHCP server gives out a
 fixed IP address based on the MAC address of the requestor?

Yes. I put manually in the box (router) ip and mac adresses.

 Can you check the DHCP logs on the DHCP server?
No!

 Try setting an address manually:

  ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.20 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

  route add default gw 192.168.1.1 (assuming that this is your router) 
 
 I put this in /etc/conf.d/net;  is it right?

No. Run them from terminal as root.
Then check.

Hi,

When the story begins I had installed util-linux-2.18-r1.
Then emerge told me, that it wants to downgrade to util-linux-2.12,
because I hade set USE=loop-aes for that.
Util-linux-2.19.something was on the road too...
After some inverstigation I thought USE=crypt had replced
USE=loop-aes, I removed USE=loop-aes and emerged util-linux.
I upgraded loop-aes to 3.6c
Emerge decided to install util-linux-2.19.something.

Now, I got this:
emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy

Hmm ... something is not right at the router, or your ethernet cable is 
faulty/unplugged.

Are you sure that 192.168.1.1 is the correct address for it?  After you set on 
the command line your ip address using ifconfig run this:

arping -c 3 -I eth0 192.168.1.1

If your router is not responding, please check its firewall list and any 
access control lists you may have set up for it - you may have typed 
incorrectly the MAC address for your eth0 NIC.

You need to remove those lines that I asked you to type on the command line 
from the /etc/conf.d/net file - or look at the example file provided and use 
that to define static address/broadcast/netmask correctly.

Typically something like:

  config_eth0=192.168.1.20/24 

should do it.  If you want to define a static route and dns server add:

  routes_eth0=default via 192.168.1.1

Try changing ethernet cable and switch port for the pc that has the
problem, and ping the router again.

Then if the problem persists, delete
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and swap the network card (if
it's not onboard) with another (PCI) that you know is good.

If the card is onboard, do not delete
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, just add a PCI NIC, connect
the ethernet cable to this new PCI NIC and try to ping the router.

 Sure, but if he had then he wouldn't be getting all these configuration 
 errors 
 when he tried to stop the service.
 
 He shouldn't get those anymore with an empty file either.

If one wants to rebuild the /etc/conf.d/net file, he should take a look
at the example file /usr/share/doc/openrc-*/net.example as a guide.

[gentoo-user] KDE text to speech and talkers

2011-06-14 Thread Bill Longman
Has anyone been able to set up TTS in KDE 4.6.3?

I've tried again and again but I am still unable to get any Talkers to
show up. I zapped kttsd and now am using jovie but, alas, no joy from
jovie am I receiving.

Maybe I don't see something basic, but I don't see what it is. I've
gotten this to work fine on my previous KDE 4 installs, but this is
frustrating.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE4 + python3.1 == no system-config-printer-kde ?

 Do you have a specific reason that compels you to try to make KDE work with 
 3.1?
If memory serves me right it was on this list that I picked up the idea
that things are working just fine with 3.1, not to mention that most
packages are smart enough to know which python they need with
PYTHON_API variables sprinkled around ebuilds. So I was quite surprised
to uncover this one.

Indeed package deps should take advantage of python3 as long as it has been 
installed, if the package needs python3:

  Title Python 3.1
  AuthorArfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis
arfre...@gentoo.org
  Posted2010-03-25
  Revision  1

Python 3 is a new major version of Python and is intentionally incompatible
with Python 2. Many external modules have not been ported yet to Python 3,
so Python 2 still needs to be installed. You can benefit from having Python 3
installed without setting Python 3.1 as main active version of Python.
Currently you should not set Python 3.1 as main active version of Python.
When setting it becomes recommended, a separate news item will be created
to notify users.

Although Python 3.1 should not be set as main active version of Python,
you should run python-updater after installation of Python 3.1. By default,
modules that support both Python 2 and Python 3 are installed for both
the active version of Python 2 and the active version of Python 3 when both
Python 2 and Python 3 are installed.

It is recommended to use a UTF-8 locale to avoid potential problems. 
Especially
C and POSIX locales are discouraged. If locale has not been explicitly set,
then POSIX locale is used, so you should ensure that locale has been set.
Problems occurring only with non-UTF-8 locales should be reported directly
to upstream developers of given packages.
See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml for more information about UTF-8.

This news item and the elog messages/warnings make me think that python3 time 
has not come yet.

YMMV
