[gentoo-user] Gentoo installation, network adapter not supported
hi all, I am new to Gentoo. I came across some problems in the Gentoo installation process. I got a relatively new laptop: Lenovo IdeaPad Y400. The Gentoo iso I choose is: admincd-amd64-20130620.iso, from: http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/20130620/hardened/ After I made the LiveUSB, disabling the UEFI boot, I finally boot into the Gentoo kernel. But I could not connect to the network. Using the `ifconfig -a` command, I can only see the loopback interface: lo. Using the `lspci` command, I can see the two network adapters: (1) the Ethernet adapter Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet (2) the wireless adapter Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 BGN (The two network adapters both work well under Windows 8.) After several times of STFW, I can confirm it's a network adapter driver support issue: lacks of coresponding network adapter drivers. For the AR8161 network adapter, it requires the alx kernal module: alx.ko. Previously, I thought I could at least compile this driver by myself, but soon I found it lacks of build-essential packages, too. :-( For the wireless network adapter, I can find iwlwifi-2030-6.ucode(coresponding to Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 BGN adapter) under /lib/firmware, I tried the `modprobe iwlwifi` command, still doesn't work. Weird. Uh... I don't know what to do next to continue the installation. Any suggestion or advice is appreciated. PS. several links which I found useful: http://askubuntu.com/questions/165192/how-do-i-install-drivers-for-the-atheros-ar8161-ethernet-controller http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2089512 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi

The Gentoo iso I choose is: admincd-amd64-20130620.iso, from: http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/20130620/hardened/ I once failed to install Hardened Gentoo to a server using the admincd, so I'm not sure if you can proceed much further even if the network is working. Since after chroot the environment of LiveCD is not important any more (except the running kernel, of course), you could simply use the installation CD and a hardened stage3. If you are not trying to use SELinux, this should be enough. After I made the LiveUSB, disabling the UEFI boot, I finally boot into the Gentoo kernel. But I could not connect to the network.

Weird. Uh... I don't know what to do next to continue the installation. Any suggestion or advice is appreciated. You can get the firmware files from the git tree of linux-firmware project (browsable online). Then you can transfer them into the LiveCD environment's /lib/firmware by means of a USB stick, for example, after which you simply rmmod iwlagn modprobe iwlagn. Also, before you finally reboot to finish the installation make sure you emerge linux-firmware, so that the required firmware files are installed into the target system. Hope this information helps~

You might want to run enalyze rebuild use to get an idea of what USE flags you have which do not match the default settings.

[gentoo-user] {OT} backups... still backups....
Remote, automated, secure backups is the most difficult and time-consuming Gentoo project I've undertaken. Right now I'm pushing data from each of my systems to a backup server via rdiff-backup. The main problem with this is if a system is compromised its backup is also vulnerable. Also, you can't restrict rdiff-backup to a particular directory in authorized_keys like you can with rsync, and rdiff-backup isn't very good over the internet (I've had trouble on sub-optimal connections) and it's recommended on the mailing list to use rdiff-backup either before or after rsync'ing over the internet. We've discussed this vulnerability here before and it was suggested that I use hard links to version the rdiff-backup repository on the backup server in case it's tampered with. I've been studying hard links, cp -al, rsnapshot (which uses rsync and hard links), and rsync --link-dest (which uses hard links) but I can't figure out how that would work without the inevitable duplication of data on a large scale. Can anyone think of an automated method that remotely and securely backs up data from one system to another, preserves permissions and ownership, and keeps the backups safe even if the backed-up system is compromised? I did delve into bacula but decided it was overkill for just a few systems. - Grant

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo installation, network adapter not supported

After several times of STFW, I can confirm it's a network adapter driver support issue: lacks of coresponding network adapter drivers. For the AR8161 network adapter, it requires the alx kernal module: alx.ko. If I'm understanding correctly, that it's the LiveCD that can't connect to the network (rather than the installed system) then there are various ways to work around this. Two alternatives that spring to mind are: 1. Many USB network adaptors are supported by LiveCDs, try one of those. Some wired USB ethernet are available new for as little as $10 or so, or you could probably find a secondhand wifi 802.11b or g adaptor that cheap. Or borrow one, or something. 2. For each emerge command in the installation guide, run `emerge -fp package-name` first, and redirect the output into a textfile. Then copy this textfile onto a USB key, take it to another machine with working internet access, use `wget -i file` to download the packages and then transfer them back to the machine on which you're installing Gentoo. Stroller.

Bruce Hill wrote: You might want to run enalyze rebuild use to get an idea of what USE flags you have which do not match the default settings. Over the course of time the defaults change, and our need for certain options change, so it's good to run this and check any USE flags for situations such as yours above, where one would say, I can't recall WHY I set it to that. If you can't find a reason then it's best to stick with the default settings most of the time. This is all that command will do on your system: mingdao@server ~ $ enalyze rebuild use -- Scanning installed packages for USE flag settings that do not match the default settings -- preparing pkgs for file entries - Saving file: /home/mingdao/package.use.test - Done Bruce Ran that and the list is actually pretty short. I go with defaults unless it is something that is specific to my setup. Such as -gnome or kde since I don't use the former but do use the later. Sometimes when I emerge something that conflicts, I have to pick one over the other and portage lets me know that. That usually goes in package.use which is also a small file. So, doesn't seem to help much here. Did find a new command tho. ;-) Thanks Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!

Hi,
I am using smplayer to play DVB-T, since Kaffeine stucks with some
channels.
This evening, smplayer notifies me, that a new version will be
available.
SMplayer is only able to know this by automonously accesing the
internet and its home site.
I dont like this.
How can I swith this off?
Best regards,

In my ~/.config/smplayer/smplayer.ini, I have these lines:
[update_checker]
checked_date=@Variant(\0\0\0\xe\0%{\x99)
last_known_version=0.8.5.5487
[smplayer]
stable_version=0.8.5
check_for_new_version=true
You may want to try setting this to 'check_for_new_version=false' and restart
it.

Wil check that.
