The only thing I can think of that you might be missing is an iwconfig ath0 essid 'any' command. For bringing things up automatically, the following lines in /etc/conf.d/net should work: modules_ath0=( ifconfig iwconfig ) config_ath0=( 192.168.1.53 netmask 255.255.255.0 ) routes_ath0=( default via 192.168.1.1 ) If you need encryption, you will also need to configure /etc/conf.d/wireless appropriately.

Still can't get it to do it automatically. And, like you, I don't understand why the base layout change would cause me to have to issue the above command when I never had to in the past. So, after putting the text in /etc/conf.d/net you suggested I get the same results. I tried adding the ap off in the /etc/conf.d/wireless iwconfig_ath0 variable ... didn't work.

Java 1.5 is in the portage tree, though I'm not entirely sure on its masked state. I do know that some programs have issues with 1.5, and there are plenty of warnings all over the place that using a system-wide configuration of java 1.5 is potentially hazardous when building up some of the older packages that depend on a sane version of java.

Wade Brown schreef: So far I've been able to run eclipse, azureus, and mozilla java with no problems using the latest sun-jdk, but do be warned several programs are expected to fail building. I use a variation on this; my system jre and jdk are blackdown-1.4.2, but azureus really really prefers sun-1.5.whatever (or at least 2.3.0.0 did, just upgraded to 2.3.0.2--which finally made it into Portage-- but haven't used it yet; it's supposed to solve this issue, afaik). Since 1) azureus crashed alot with blackdown, and 2) I didn't want to change my entire system to sun 1.5, since I had no idea of the effects and 3) not changing my entire system results in having only the sun jre, but not the sun jdk (so a mismatched system), my solution was to write a small script to run azureus: #!/bin/sh java-config -s sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.03 source /home/motub/.gentoo/* azureus Works fine, and saves me having to remember to do it manually every time I want to start the program (and being reminded when I tried to open the Configuration tab and the program crashed with a Java HotSpot error). So, for what it's worth, it is possible to manage 'stable' and 'unstable' java versions on the system, at least as far as pre-compiled java-based executables go. I'm not a Java developer (or any kind of developer), so I don't really have much interest in testing the compilation of programs against the new Java, which, as I understand it, may work, but may not. What I'm wondering is whether blackdown is ever going to update to a 1.5 version. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I'm going to be teaching this puppy starting in September, and I need to start using it. This raises two questions: 1) Is there a simple way to install the current release without damaging the ebuild-installed ones I have, or should I just blunder ahead and mangle my own PATH and such in .bashrc_local (or whereever -- this is a one-user machine). 2) Better yet, is there a way to integrate such a release with java-config. I took a very brief look at the Python, and java-config is just cryptic and undocumented enough for me to prefer to *not* learn it well enough to answer this myself. The JDK/JRE ebuilds are in the tree for a very long time, if you haven't noticed, :) The JDK is masked. Many of the old ebuilds won't build with the new JDK as their build scripts don't specify -source and -target and the new JDK assumes they are 1.5 and spits out a hell lot of errors. If this doesn't apply to you, you can probably unmask the new ebuild and install it. The JRE, is recently unmasked and, I believe, is safe to use, despite the fact that you can only run byte codes compiled elsewhere. The people in the java herd are trying their best to resolve this issue for you and for many of us. For the time being, my working solution is: Unmask 1.5 JDK and install it, install another 1.4 alongside with it. Switch to the 1.4 when you need to build a java ebuild. Switch back to the 1.5. BTW, is there something terribly fancy in 1.5 that you are so desperate to use? HTH. -- Joe -- Money can't buy everything.

Re: [gentoo-user] Java java java, I miss my java
JDK is more than likely the one you want, the difference is exactly as you said, one is supposed to be just runtime environment (what most Windows users get to view java on web pages) whereas JDK lets you build java applications on your machine. You can probably ignore that line with jre-bin seeing as how the JDK provides everything the JRE provides and then some (If you use java-config to set your java to a JRE, it informs you several functions are missing). They both point you to the same website, but from there you can choose which to download, including rpm binaries and documentation, though you'll want the one that matches the filename portage instructed you to use.

TIA. -- Joe Hi, I don't think so, but I don't think it makes such a huge amount of difference. When you sync the Portage tree, you are only adding and deleting ebuilds, which are very small. On my system, 98,135 files in the Portage tree take up 296.5 MB-- which is actually more than I expected; have to look into that. Oh... I did a couple of qpkgs when I was unmerging that extra version of Python. Without counting /usr/portage/packages, 97,919 files take up 93.5MB of space, which is more like what I would have figured. IMHO, if you don't even have that much room available, it's time to start clearing out space, repartitioning, or considering getting a new HDD anyway. However, this is without counting /usr/portage/distfiles, which holds the tarballs... if you don't mind re-downloading them if you decide to reinstall a program previously installed (or installed, then uninstalled), a more effective space-saving measure might be to delete the contents of that folder, as well as backing any packages you may have used qpkg to create off the drive. IIrc, there's a setting in /etc/make.conf that will allow you to dump the tarballs automatically, but you could always do so as a cron job. HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Reboot when GRUB starts
This is really annoying. I just finished a Gentoo install on my computer and rebooted after installing GRUB with the command grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hde as stated in the Handbook. Right after GRUB loads the stage1.5 file, the system reboots. The first partition is active. Marking partition 2 as active can't get me into Windows, though, so I'm kinda screwed ATM. I created my Gentoo partitions by resizing my NTFS partition with PartitionMagic (I love that software). I moved it down the disk by 32 MB, shrunk it by 20 GB, and converted /home/colin and my swap partition to logical ones. Windows still booted, even after formatting the partitions. I also used PM to switch the entries in the partition table, so that my partitions would be numbered in disk order--a change to BOOT.INI and Windows still worked. It's /dev/hde because it's hooked up to my motherboard's on-board RAID controller--it's got its own CPU, so data transfers are faster. I wanted to use two hard drives, but my other drive was giving a lot of DMA errors and sector read errors.

RE: [gentoo-user] ssmtp - what wants to install it?
Trying to remove any MTAs from my system... Normal unix OS's require an MTA to be defined. Portage has virtual mta placeholders that define the MTA that is installed on the system (i.e. I'm using postfix). If you don't have an MTA installed (which you don't), portage knows that the MTA is missing and wants to install ssmtp as the default mta.

But the significant ones seem to be - Scanner class which smooths one of the major bumps for beginning Java programmers: how to do input without learning the whole language first. - Autoboxing which allows a looser typing of functionally similar entities (the primitives and their wrapper classes). - Generics (type-safe containers) (not really an intro topic, but I'll be teaching a second course too). - True enum - C-style printf, and varargs (ya!) ++ kevin - Iterator for-loop -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
