[gentoo-user] asserts in glibc

2005-05-09 Thread Ian Monroe
There's currently an open bug in amaroK (
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100049 ) where it appears xine
crashs when an assert fails in glibc. I figured that this would only
happen when someone was foolish enough to install a glibc with debug
enabled. However today I talked to a user who had the problem (using
equery) it appears their use debug use flag was off for the running
glibc. Does anyone know under what conditions the glibc assert()'s are
enabled?

Thanks,
Ian

2005-05-09 Thread Sami Samhuri
I'm sorry but as OT as this thread is (haven't read all of it) I have to
get my 2 cents in here. Response inlined below...

* On Sun May-08-2005 at 08:44:08 PM +, Calvin Spealman said:
[...]
 I'm tired of everyone being so blatently rude in their defensive
 stances over simple suggestions of improvement.

Clearly 'improvement' is subjective. Hence the differing opinions.

 For some reason, I've noticed these actions move prevalently in
 regards to email protocols and formats. The W3C wants to release a new
 version of HTML? No one complains (mostly). Someone wants to create a
 new e-mail standard, or expand an existing one? Off with their heads!

I have to disagree here. If you read RFC 822[1] (1982) and then take a
look at RFC 2822[2] (2001) then you'll see that there have been changes
and updates to the e-mail standard. If you care to create a new one then
go ahead and do it. If people like it then they will start to use it.
It's as simple as that. Perhaps instead of trying to extend a standard
that was created to send text around you should be trying to form a new
standard altogether; I'm not really sure what you're trying to push for
here.

Apparently the ability to attach any file you wish to an e-mail is good
enough for most people and this really is a non-issue. If you care to
have fancy formatting or whatever else then attach a document in any
format you like and if people want to read it they will. If someone's
e-mail client displays certain attached files inline with the message
than that's fine with me. In certain cases I think this even makes a lot
of sense (e.g. images). I just don't see why this isn't good enough to
get your fancy formatting.

Outlook does this with HTML and we all know what a horrible mess that
has created, but I think if you're really keen on this and adapt a mail
client to automatically display certain types of attachments (without
being a huge security risk!) then people may adopt it; but that is all
speculation.

To cut to the point all I'm trying to say is that e-mail has the
capability to do what you want, you just need to figure out an
appropriate file format for this purpose and then push to get clients to
automatically display these files. If the majority like it then it will
be used.

 Going by the way everyone reacts to these ideas, one would come to the
 conclusion that we should all still run nothing but command lines and
 pass our information around on FTP and Gopher servers.

Sorry for that, but it's hard to take that last sentence seriously
seeing as it's a patently false conclusion. I'm running X right now with
loads of cool GUI apps and (for one example) I use the WWW to share all
sorts of information, so I don't know what you're worrying about.

I use reiserfs (v3.6) without problems although you will hear people
talk of losing data with it. I believe it's usually due to power outages
so if you're not on a UPS or have dodgy power then I'd steer clear of

ide-cd is not a kernel option, it is a module. Set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD

isn't an initscript with the ebuild and I start it by hand and nothing
happens(?)

I then tried to execute gnome-power-manager but it complains about

/dev/fd0/mnt/floppy autonoauto  0 0

none/proc   procdefaults0 0

none/dev/shmtmpfs   defaults0 0


I added a user with these options:

useradd paul -m -G audio,cdrom,floppy,usb,video,wheel,users
passwd paul
[ ... ]

When I try to mount the device with:

You can't mount a CDRW-drive for writing. That would need a DVD-RAM drive. For 
normal CD-writers you need special software for writing iso9660 images to the 
disc (e.g. cdrecord)

In this context, you are mounting it as a CDROM device, read-only. You
don't mount a CD to write to it, you use cdrecord or similar to handle
the writing.

Yes, but writing to it is done through different mechanisms. In case of 
writing ISO images to CD-R(W) media, this is done with cdrecord, which 
accesses the hardware directly. In case of packet writing to CD-RW, which 
enables you to use the CD-RW media like a harddisk, you have to use another 
device (/dev/pktcdvd/name). So for both cases, specifying rw here is not 
completely wrong, but useless, since cdroms will allways be mounted ro 
anyway.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: udev not getting usb key

2005-05-09 Thread Stoian Ivanov
I got the same problem here. There is a quick work-around this:
When /dev/sda is available you can do cfdisk as root  this will somehow 
display the proper partition table (fdisk wont) and everything is ready
(/dev/sda1 is created). I suspect the problem is in chipset driver because the 
same usbstick works fine on same kernel/other chipset. 
  Have just tested with other usbstik it was recognized directly. On 256Mb 
Kingmax 
the kernel fails to read the partition table, but with 128Mb Kingmax it works 
fine.
On the other hand the 256 MB stik works fine on other hardvare ... this is 
strange

I'm running 2.6.11 kernel on both machines

RE: [gentoo-user] E-mail quote protocol -- WAS: Re: No HTML in posts?

2005-05-09 Thread Dave Nebinger
 If the mailers follow the proper multipart protocols and also make it
 easy to hide quoted emails, move to see the original ones, etc (to add
 incentives to use the protocol), then support for it can grow until
 everyone will have updated just over time. once you know someone's
 reader has support for it, because they send you emails using it, you
 can send to them without the old inline-quoted version.

[snip]

Calvin, you're whole problem appears to be that the email on the list should
be modified to support your own desires.  Posting in html because you prefer
it.  Top posting to responses rather than scrolling to the bottom of the
quoted text (thus actually viewing the quoted text and snipping the
unnecessary parts).

You're looking at years worth of standards that have been built up and
saying after all of that time they need to be changed.

Fine - if you feel so strongly about it post an RFC and follow the normal
process for having standards changed.  Your effort to post on this list will
not convince anyone nor would it make any substantial change.

Simply put, the list just works.  And it works because we have all agreed on
how we're going to make it work.  If you want to be part of the process and
want to live under the established standard that we're all happy with, fine
and welcome.

But if all you want to do is rant over how we're not doing things the way
you think they should be done, then maybe the email list is not for you.  Go
to the forums where you can use HTML to your hearts content.

But don't keep trying to drag the list OT to justify your narrow position on
how the email list should work.

Emerge  as normal, but do not add the packages to the world profile for

So it rebuilds it but we don't add it to the world profile because it's 
part of the base system and we wouldn't want it upgraded unless we 
rebuilt everything else?  I'm brand spankin' new to both Linux and 
Gentoo but I have experience with FreeBSD.  In FreeBSD, I know one

[gentoo-user] Problems mounting CD-Rom device

2005-05-09 Thread Cornelia Menzel
Thanks to everybody for answering to my posting.

Now I was able as a normal user to mount a cdrom with:
paul # mount /mnt/cdrom

but most of my cd's that I have burned or normal audio-cd's, I am not able to 
mount. Not as user and not as root.

I've got the following message. As user: I've could not determine the 
filesystem type, and none was specified.

If I try it again as user: 
paul # mount -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom, than I've got again the following message: 
mount: only root can do that!. 
If I try as user: paul # mount -t auto /mnt/cdrom the error message I've got is 
the following: 
mount: only root can do that!.

If I try the same as superuser than happens that:
root $ mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: you must specify the filesystem type.

root $ mount -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom
. than I've got an output of how to use 'mount' correctly.

The same happens when I try:
root $ mount -t auto /mnt/cdrom

If somebody knows what to do, I would be really happy about it (I would like to 
hear my audio-cd's, for example).

Thanks to everybody in advance!

Bye,
Nelly

 Hello,
 
 I am currently using GCC 3.3.5-20050130, but I would like to give 
 GCC 3.4.3.20050110-r2 a try, it is currently masked by keyword ~x86.
 Is it enough to add gcc to the /etc/portage/package.keywords file 
 and then emerge it?

 Is there a Gentoo-related guide to this somewhere?

To unmask a package, the guide is here :
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3chap=3

But gcc is probably something special, and I never dared to touch it...

Thanks.
This is exaclty what I was trying to ask: if gcc should be treated
differently than
any other package when it comes to using a newer (unstable) version.
My guess is that unmasking gcc is not the only thing needed here. 
Maybe there is a Gentoo guide that explains this, but I could not find it.

I just bought one and recently got it working :)

I'm not quite sure why you're having those problems.  Maybe you don't
have dvb or v4l2 support compiled either into your kernel or as modules?

By the way, just as a sidenote, the order I modprobed the drivers was:

cx8800
cx88-dvb

cx8800 is the module that actually registers /dev/video0 (for analog
NTSC) and /dev/video1 (for digital ATSC HDTV.)

Hope this helps.  My guess is simply that you don't have all the support
stuff that you need (v4l2 and dvb specifically.)

[gentoo-user] Problems mounting CD-Rom device [solved]

2005-05-09 Thread Cornelia Menzel
Hello everybody!

Thank you Aaron for your posting, at the moment I received your e-mail I was 
just reading an article about mounting 
cd's and that audio cd's cannot be mounted ;-)

I would like to ask you how can I point my cdplayer to my cdrom-device? I am 
using (well, I am trying to use ...) 
cdplay 
from a shell.

When I type cdplay -i (for listing tracks), it recognises perfectly the tracks 
on the CD.
When I type cdplay -c it starts playing, but I cannot hear any sound.
When I type cdplay -I it states about the track it is playing at this moment.

I have read the README file corresponding to the program cdplay, but it is a 
very short file and it only states the 
way to use the program.

Is there anybody who could help me with this issue? (Perhaps I need to install 
some more alsa-tools, or something like 
that - only for your information: I installed Gentoo 2005.0 (stage3-athlon-xp) 
on my laptop and since then I only 
updated the portage tree and installed fetchmail, procmail, nbsmtp, mutt, 
muttprint, pcmcia-cs, prism54-firmware - and I 
think, nothing else).

Thank you very much!

Nelly

Nope, you are right, you cannot mount Audio CD 's as they do not have a
filesystem on them (they dont have 'files' as such, rather they have
tracks on the CD)

[gentoo-user] lm_sensor stop freeze

2005-05-09 Thread Tamas Sarga
Hi,

I can not halt my PC, 'cause when lm_sensors stop, the system freezes.
The problem, how I see, that rmmod i2c_viapro can not succeed, cause of
Device or resource busy. What can occupy the module in the late state of
shutdown? My /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors is the following (generated by
sensors-detect):

# List the modules that are to be loaded for your system
#
# Generated by sensors-detect on Sat Feb 12 12:13:44 2005

#These are compiled into the kernel
#NOLOADMODULES=YES
MODULE_0=i2c-viapro
MODULE_1=i2c-isa
MODULE_2=eeprom
MODULE_3=w83627hf

It is an 1800+ Athlon XP with a 2.6.11-r6 gentoo-sources.

In addition I don't really understand, why the system freezes instead of
a simple error message about rmmod failed and go on.

TIA.

That's it. When you emerge a package, the package is added to your world
file, but any dependencies that are emerged are not. So the world file
contains only those packages that you explicitly want, not their
dependencies. Whenever I re-emerge anything I always use --oneshot, on
the basis that if it belongs in world, it is already there and if it
doesn't, I don't want to spoil things by adding it now.

shadow is a clear example of this, as it is a package you would never
install manually (in fact it is part of system).

I am sure that mplayer -cdda also reads the data from the CD

music library that we used to export over NFS so that other machines

I set up the following export file on the server:

 * status:  started

One the remote machine I have this in the fstab file:

However when I try to mount it from another machine I get this response:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mount /mnt/MusicLib/
mount to NFS server 'dragonfly' failed: server is down.

on gentoo-wiki.com: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_hpoj_/_CUPS
   When i try to emerge hpijs i get dependecies with foomatic-db-engine. that's
all nice bu it's compilation fails. I've googled for it and didn't find 
anything.
   First there is a red-alert on configure:
checking how to redirect GhostScript output to fd 3... ACCESS DENIED
open_wr:   /dev/fd/3
./configure: line 1763: /dev/fd/3: Permission denied
   Second and last it fails with:
--- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY ---
LOG FILE = /tmp/sandbox-net-print_-_foomatic-db-engine-3.0.2-14466.log

open_wr:   /dev/fd/3 (symlink to /proc/14865/fd/3)

  I have no idea why this happens; it's true there is no /dev/fd/3 but who 
should have created it
in the first place ?

Hi,

with KDE

kdesu xemacs

or

is the easiest way.

But without KDE, the earlier mentioned sux, or xhost +localhost etc are fine

[gentoo-user] Re: nfs export/remote mount problem

2005-05-09 Thread Mark Knecht
Hello again,
   A bit more info. On the server side the directories seem to be exxported:

dragonfly ~ # exportfs
/home/mark/MusicLib
world
/MusicLib   world
dragonfly ~ #

The second one is the one I'm trying to mount remotely. However it's
not clear to me if nfsd is listening on the right port - normally 2049
according to the remote devices /etc/services file:

dragonfly ~ # netstat -apn | grep 2049
tcp0  0 0.0.0.0:20490.0.0.0:*  
LISTEN  -
udp0  0 0.0.0.0:20490.0.0.0:* 
 -
dragonfly ~ #

Something's there, but is it NFS? I did find this in /etc/conf.d/nfs:

# Config file for /etc/init.d/nfs

# If you wish to set the port numbers for lockd,
# please see /etc/sysctl.conf

which leads to this:

# TCP Port for lock manager
#sys.fs.nfs.nlm_tcpport = 0
# UDP Port for lock manager
#sys.fs.nfs.nlm_udpport = 0

So maybe NFS isn't on the right port? The problem is it doesn't seem
to be on any port:

dragonfly ~ # netstat -apn | grep nfs
dragonfly ~ #

So, I'm still lost. Anyone able to lend a hand on this one?

Thanks,
Mark

 Hi,
On my wife's machine, which we converted from FC2 to Gentoo a few
 weeks ago, I have one thing I forgot to do. We have a large (50GB) ogg
 music library that we used to export over NFS so that other machines
 in the house could play the music locally. However I forgot to get
 that working until today when my son griped at me. Now I'm under the
 gun.
 
 I set up the following export file on the server:

 # /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported.  See exports(5).
 /MusicLib   *(ro)
 /home/mark/MusicLib *(rw)

 NFS seems to be started:
 
 dragonfly ~ # /etc/init.d/nfs status
  * status:  started
 dragonfly ~ #
 
 One the remote machine I have this in the fstab file:
 
 dragonfly:/MusicLib /mnt/MusicLib   nfs
 noauto,user,ro,_netdev  0 0
 
 However when I try to mount it from another machine I get this response:
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mount /mnt/MusicLib/
 mount to NFS server 'dragonfly' failed: server is down.
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
 
 The remote machine knows Dragonfly by name:
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ping dragonfly

 64 bytes from Dragonfly (192.168.1.55): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=5.16 ms
 
 What did I forget to do?
 
 Thanks,

[gentoo-user] wpa_supplicant + dhcp net.ath0 script ?

2005-05-09 Thread Zhendong Zhou \(Kyle\)



Hi,
I am using madwifi  wpa_supplicant. after 
installing them and configured, I can manually start wpa_supplicant by 
'wpa_supplicant -w -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dmadwifi' and 'dhcpcd ath0'. 
However, my problem is how to make them start automatically when the system 
boot?
It seems that I have to write something in net.ath0 
or /etc/init.d/net ...
but how? I am really new to linux. 
thanks

Hi Mark,

Maybe I am wrong, but I think you also need to be running 'portmap'. 
Normally NFS registers with the portmap service and doesn't listen on
its own port at all, IIRC.  My guess is that when you try to mount from
the remote system, it fails to contact the RPC (portmap) service on port
111, so it tells you the server is down.

Hi Richard,
   portmap seems to be  running:

dragonfly ~ # ps aux | grep portmap
rpc   8811  0.0  0.1   1672   684 ?Ss   May02   0:00 /sbin/portmap
root 11634  0.0  0.0   1484   476 pts/0R+   19:59   0:00 grep portmap
dragonfly ~ #

rpcinfo looks at least reasonable:

dragonfly ~ # rpcinfo -p
   program vers proto   port
102   tcp111  portmapper
102   udp111  portmapper
1000241   udp   2294  status
1000241   tcp   1042  status
132   udp   2049  nfs
132   tcp   2049  nfs
1000211   udp   2296  nlockmgr
1000213   udp   2296  nlockmgr
1000211   tcp   1043  nlockmgr
1000213   tcp   1043  nlockmgr
151   udp658  mountd
151   tcp661  mountd
152   udp658  mountd
152   tcp661  mountd
153   udp658  mountd
153   tcp661  mountd
dragonfly ~ #

and the above seems to say the Gentoo server is listening on the
correct port - 2049.

I've changed the /etc/exports file a bit. Now it's this:

dragonfly ~ # cat /etc/exports
# /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported.  See exports(5).
/MusicLib   192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(async,ro)
/home/mark/MusicLib 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(async,rw)
dragonfly ~ #

I think this means that anyone on my local home network should have
access according to the Gentoo NFS Wiki. Now I can restart NFS and
things look like they should be OK:

dragonfly ~ # exportfs -ra
dragonfly ~ # /etc/init.d/nfs restart
* Stopping NFS mountd ...[ ok ] 
* Stopping NFS daemon ...[ ok ] 
* Stopping NFS statd ... [ ok ] 
* Starting NFS statd ... [ ok ] 
* Exporting NFS directories ...  [ ok ] 
* Starting NFS daemon ...[ ok ] 
* Starting NFS mountd ...[ ok ]
dragonfly ~ #

dragonfly ~ # exportfs
/home/mark/MusicLib
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
/MusicLib   192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
dragonfly ~ #

But still my FC2 remote machine cannot mount it:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mount /mnt/MusicLib/
mount to NFS server 'dragonfly' failed: server is down.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#

I know this must be a simple oversight but I just do not see it.

Thanks for answering! I do appreciate it!

Cheers,
Mark

Re: [gentoo-user] qpkg and etcat deprecated?

2005-05-09 Thread Pingveno




Agreement.
equery size somepackage

is much, much slower than:
pkg-size somepackage

I don't know if equery can be significantly sped up in the future,
but the speed difference is a significant problem for me. With 550 MHz,
pkg-size (a relatively simple shell script) was almost instantaneous,
while equery size (a python program that directly uses the portage API)
took several seconds. BTW, this was after one run of pkg-size to get
all of the files cached in RAM, just for fairness.

I love Python dearly, but it's annoyingly slow for some things. This is
one of them.

Considering that qpkg is several orders of magnitude faster than equery,
yes, I *really* do want to use them.

Yep that's the way it works. On the otherhand I was mentioning it more 
for completeness than an actual suggestion. I'd go ahead and add an MX, 
but that's what it's going to look like and it really won't matter if 
you have one or not.

IN  MX  10  domain.com.
