Hi Jan, It's quite possible that I'm talking out of my butt, since I don't use postfix, but this really confused me: Since it's a chroot, I can't make a symlink This just doesn't seem right, if postfix/qmgr requires some kind of time marker. I get it that /etc is outside the chroot, but that seems to suggest that either the chroot parameters are too narrow (and /etc should be inside it, in which case you could create the symlink or wouldn't need to), and/or that the logger is misconfigured, in that it ought to be able to connect to /etc/localtime, but apparently is not. Since I don't know anything about this, I went Googling, and found http://www.linuxsecurity.com/docs/HOWTO/Postfix-EnGarde-HOWTO.html , which says: General Information Postfix configuration is done with the files in /etc/postfix, /usr/lib/libexec/postfix contains the postfix daemons, and /var/spool/postfix contains the mail queues and various mail staging directories and the default chroot directory etc (if chrooting is configured). /etc/postfix will be the most important directory as it controls postfix's behaviour. This directory holds the two configuration files and the aliases, virtual, transport, access, and other databases in maps. Interestingly, this suggests that not only is /etc/ supposed to be in the chroot, but that /etc is supposed to be the root of the chroot. So if I was you, I'd be interested in knowing why it is not, in your case. Maybe it's a Gentoo thing, but in that case, surely there's a Gentoo document detailing how to set up Postfix in the Gentoo System Administration docs, or a config file somewhere in /etc/(conf.d)(/postfix) that might explain why the chroot is in such a weird place (it sounds weird to me, and I don't even use Postfix). Anyway, hope this is in some way useful, and not a load of babbling idiocy. If it is (babbling idiocy), sorry to waste your time. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Why the changes to /etc/nisdomainname etc
I'm trying to move from a Unix-based DNS to an AD setup, changing DNS domain name (but not NIS domain name) in the process. I'm testing by switching DHCP servers on and off. I had a problem with NIS and while investigating noticed that some key files seem to have changed since the last time I rebooted the machine some months ago: /etc/hostname - /etc/conf.d/hostname /etc/dnsdomainname - /etc/conf.d/domainname /etc/nisdomainname - /etc/conf.d/domainname Is there any reason for this? Was something broken with the old way of doing it? Given that the DHCP server gives out the hostname and DNS and NIS domain names, should these files be left empty? /etc/conf.d/domainname is a bit confusing: #DNSDOMAIN= # This only set what /bin/hostname returns. If you need to setup NIS, meaning # what /bin/domainname returns, please see: # # http://www.linux-nis.org/nis-howto/HOWTO/ # NISDOMAIN=insignia Which line does that comment refer to, the one above or the one below?

I could be wrong-- and an emerge --tree would be more helpful here, but
is it possible to compile realplayer -X? I don't think so; I think
realplayer is what depends on X, and so it's the +real in the mplayer
USE flags that's bringing it in.
Just a second, let me check... the realplayer ebuild depends on
MY_PN=RealPlayer
DESCRIPTION=Real Media Player
HOMEPAGE=https://player.helixcommunity.org/2004/downloads/;
SRC_URI=https://helixcommunity.org/download.php/1145/${MY_PN}-${PV}.750-20050401.i586.rpm;
LICENSE=HBRL
SLOT=0
KEYWORDS=-* x86 ~amd64
IUSE=mozilla
# take this out until I get the realplayer source
# build sorted out. - ChrisWhite
# RDEPEND=!media-video/realplayer
RDEPEND==dev-libs/glib-2
=x11-libs/pango-1.2
=x11-libs/gtk+-2.2
amd64? ( app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs )
and the GTK (2.6.8) ebuild depends on
RDEPEND=virtual/x11
=dev-libs/glib-2.6
=dev-libs/atk-1.0.1
=x11-libs/pango-1.8
x11-misc/shared-mime-info
=media-libs/libpng-1.2.1
jpeg? ( =media-libs/jpeg-6b-r2 )
tiff? ( =media-libs/tiff-3.5.7 )
So, yes, the realplayer cannot be built without gtk, which in turn
depends on X.
So maybe try taking the real out of the mplayer USE flags, and it
should work fine. You would then be giving up the capability of playing
Real files, but there might be codecs available that would give you this
without needing to install RealPlayer (and therefore X). Check the
mPlayer site.
HTH,

I find it strange that this is not done automatically by gentoo, nor that it is stated somewhere in the docs or on the wiki. And I suppose I would have to copy the other files to into /var/spool/postfix/etc So if I was you, I'd be interested in knowing why it is not, in your case. Maybe it's a Gentoo thing, but in that case, surely there's a Gentoo document detailing how to set up Postfix in the Gentoo System Administration docs, or a config file somewhere in /etc/(conf.d)(/postfix) that might explain why the chroot is in such a weird place (it sounds weird to me, and I don't even use Postfix). I have found this place in various documentations, so I'm sure this is not a gentoo thing. Anyway, hope this is in some way useful, and not a load of babbling idiocy.

[gentoo-user] ypbind man page incomplete?
The man page for ypbind does not specify if domainname needs to be set (it is only mentioned in the SEE ONLY section). The man page implies that all settings are in /etc/yp.conf. However if I have /etc/yp.conf set to: terminator ~ # cat /etc/yp.conf domain insignia broadcast but domainname not set: terminator ~ # domainname (none) then ypbind will not start: terminator ~ # ypbind -d domainname not set - aborting. jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Given that the DHCP server gives out the hostname and

Answering my own mail.
If /etc/conf.d/hostname and /etc/conf.d/domainname are
both blank, we get:
(none) ~ # hostname
(none)
(none) ~ # nisdomainname
(none)
(none) ~ # dnsdomainname
dnsdomainname: Unknown host
(none) ~ # cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 172.16.64.1
nameserver 172.18.1.1
search isltd.insignia.com
(none) ~ #
So even though the DNS domain name was delivered by the DHCP server
it was only used for /etc/resolv.conf. And the hostname seems to be
set from /etc/conf.d/hostname well before DHCP is activated.
So I set /etc/conf.d/hostname and try again:
terminator ~ # hostname
terminator
terminator ~ # dnsdomainname
isltd.insignia.com
terminator ~ # nisdomainname
(none)
terminator ~ # cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 172.16.64.1
nameserver 172.18.1.1
search isltd.insignia.com
Hmm. So if I set the hostname, the DNS domain name is set from DHCP,
but not if I don't. Weird. The same happens if instead of setting
the hostname in /etc/conf.d/hostnanme, I set dhcpcd_eth0=-H in
/etc/conf.d/net.
It would be nice if the NIS domain name could be picked up from DHCP,
is there a way to do that? The info returned is picked up because
/etc/yp.conf is set to:
domain insignia broadcast
but that doesn't seem to be enough for ypbind.
Also /etc/init.d/domainname looks like it is supposed to put a domain
line in /etc/resolv.conf:
[[ ${OVERRIDE} == 1 ]] \
resolv=${resolv}$'\n'domain ${DNSDOMAIN} \
|| resolv=domain ${DNSDOMAIN}$'\n'${resolv}
echo ${resolv} /etc/resolv.conf
but as you see above this does not happen, or it is overwritten later.
Once I can sort this out I can move on to my real problem, which is
that changing the DNS domain name in the DHCP server stops NIS
working. But that's for another mail.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerging mplayer with compile option --without-x
I could be wrong-- and an emerge --tree would be more helpful here, but
is it possible to compile realplayer -X? I don't think so; I think
realplayer is what depends on X, and so it's the +real in the mplayer
USE flags that's bringing it in.
Just a second, let me check... the realplayer ebuild depends on
MY_PN=RealPlayer
DESCRIPTION=Real Media Player
HOMEPAGE=https://player.helixcommunity.org/2004/downloads/;
SRC_URI=https://helixcommunity.org/download.php/1145/${MY_PN}-${PV}.750-20050401.i586.rpm;
LICENSE=HBRL
SLOT=0
KEYWORDS=-* x86 ~amd64
IUSE=mozilla
# take this out until I get the realplayer source
# build sorted out. - ChrisWhite
# RDEPEND=!media-video/realplayer
RDEPEND==dev-libs/glib-2
=x11-libs/pango-1.2
=x11-libs/gtk+-2.2
amd64? ( app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs )
and the GTK (2.6.8) ebuild depends on
RDEPEND=virtual/x11
=dev-libs/glib-2.6
=dev-libs/atk-1.0.1
=x11-libs/pango-1.8
x11-misc/shared-mime-info
=media-libs/libpng-1.2.1
jpeg? ( =media-libs/jpeg-6b-r2 )
tiff? ( =media-libs/tiff-3.5.7 )
So, yes, the realplayer cannot be built without gtk, which in turn
depends on X.
So maybe try taking the real out of the mplayer USE flags, and it
should work fine. You would then be giving up the capability of playing
Real files, but there might be codecs available that would give you this
without needing to install RealPlayer (and therefore X). Check the
mPlayer site.
HTH,
Holly
right! I reassigned USE values from scratch and now works. It helped also
reading the script
(/usr/portage/media-video/mplayer/mplayer-1.0_pre6-r4.ebuild):

myconf=${myconf} --disable-gui --disable-x11 --disable-xv

[gentoo-user] Acer Travelmate 524tx and Wireless lan PCMCIA: D-Link DWL-G650
Hello, first I have to say, that I post the same question in alt.os.linux.gentoo. Sorry for cross posting. I hope anyone of you can help me solving my problem. Thx. I have bought a D-Link DWL-G650 108MBit PCMCIA-Wireless lan card. I have an Acer Travelmate 524tx. I want to use this card to connect to a wireless lan at home. The card has an Atheros chipset. So I have installed the madwifi driver. First I jave tried to connect to the wireless lan over WPA-PSK. I did not connect. Then I have tried to connect to an open wireless lan. There I was successful but the I can't send or receive any data. A ping to the router returns the error message, that there are wrong data byte. I have figured out that the used PCMCIA-Card chipset (O2 Micro OZ6933 / 711E1) of the Acer Travelmate 524 TX might be not compatible to the Atheros chipset (or the used driver etc.). I tried to use madwifi and ndiswrapper. Both did not work. Can anyone help me? Has anyone accompished to get the card on this cardbus chipset running? Anyone an idea what I can do further? Here I give you some more detailed information. I hope, this are enough. If it is not, tell me what more information you want.

[gentoo-user] Acer Travelmate 524tx and Wireless lan PCMCIA: D-Link DWL-G650
Hello, first I have to say, that I post the same question in alt.os.linux.gentoo. Sorry for cross posting. I hope anyone of you can help me solving my problem. Thx. I have bought a D-Link DWL-G650 108MBit PCMCIA-Wireless lan card. I have an Acer Travelmate 524tx. I want to use this card to connect to a wireless lan at home. The card has an Atheros chipset. So I have installed the madwifi driver. First I jave tried to connect to the wireless lan over WPA-PSK. I did not connect. Then I have tried to connect to an open wireless lan. There I was successful but the I can't send or receive any data. A ping to the router returns the error message, that there are wrong data byte. I have figured out that the used PCMCIA-Card chipset (O2 Micro OZ6933 / 711E1) of the Acer Travelmate 524 TX might be not compatible to the Atheros chipset (or the used driver etc.). I tried to use madwifi and ndiswrapper. Both did not work. Can anyone help me? Has anyone accompished to get the card on this cardbus chipset running? Anyone an idea what I can do further? Here I give you some more detailed information. I hope, this are enough. If it is not, tell me what more information you want. After putting the pcmcia card into the pcmcia slot lspci give me this information: === lspci == :00:00.0 Host bridge: ALi Corporation M1621 (rev 05) :00:01.0 PCI bridge: ALi Corporation PCI to AGP Controller (rev 01) :00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 01) :00:07.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation M1533 PCI to ISA Bridge [Aladdin IV] :00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08) :00:10.0 IDE interface: ALi Corporation M5229 IDE (rev c3) :00:11.0 Bridge: ALi Corporation M7101 Power Management Controller [PMU] :00:13.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.

It looks like Dell messed up with the BIOS, they allways do modifications for their own purpose, I had problems like that in a Compaq too... As someone said before, try running Gentoo from a boot floppy (if your BIOS refuses to boot from floppy, get a hammer and throw your computer of a bridge), this way you'll know if its a BIOS issue.

What I'm not sure about (and I'm sure this will sound stupid to experianced programs of which I am not part of the group) is whether any programs will fail to run correctly on my machine if I don't build for Japan/France/xxx, or whether it's critical that I build for both en_US/ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8?

The fact of the matter is, the PC refuses to even try to boot from the HD (FYI - it has booted linux in the past from the HD). So, the bios detects the hard drive but it won't let you specify it as the boot device? What version of bios is that? Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list It looks like Dell messed up with the BIOS, they allways do modifications for their own purpose, I had problems like that in a Compaq too... As someone said before, try running Gentoo from a boot floppy (if your BIOS refuses to boot from floppy, get a hammer and throw your computer of a bridge), this way you'll know if its a BIOS issue. Ok. How do I get a Gentoo boot floppy? Were you able to boot a different hard drive with same bios and disk controller? Here are instructions for creating a grub floppy: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Creating-a-GRUB-boot-floppy.html Maybe you can boot with that using these commands: rootnoverify (hd0) chainloader +1 Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Probabily the problem is there... well, a problem I had was I had serial support compiled in the kernel, so the lirc driver couldn't use it. Try using setserial to release it (I don't recall the exact command, but it's somewhere in lirc's docs) and only then load lirc. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but /dev/lircd is a way for the client programs to connect to the lirc daemon, it shouldn't be a link to the serial port. The lirc driver(what I thought was only a kernel module, or compiled in) should create /dev/lirc/0 or /dev/lirc0, and you should run lircd with that as the parameter. Also, mode2 doesn't need lircd, it reads signals directly from the lirc driver (/dev/lirc0 or /dev/lirc/0), Now the server doesn't crash but it doesn't work...

In my case, the boot list in the bios would show the primary master disk twice, but not my secondary slave! But it never found a bootable disk. Swapping in the old hard disk didn't fix the problem, and it was autodetecting the hard disks correctly. Eventually, I set all the disk types to None in the IDE device configuration screen, saved, and powered off. This removed the harddisk entries from the boot configuration. Then I rebooted, set the device detection back to Auto, and the boot configuration screen came up correctly, and the system booted up perfectly. HTH -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Grab the update and put it on a floppy/CD, and flash your BIOS to the latest version. You might have a bug in your BIOS. One of my motherboards' BIOSes didn't support hard drives 32 GB, but the patch included an error in autodectection, causing my 60 GB hard drive to appear as 2.1 GB in the BIOS when set to LBA mode. Gentoo didn't have any problems with it, even without hdx=stroke, so I think that was just a display error. But the update was well worth it, anyway. A more obscure BIOS tactic common back in the day was to put all or part of it in a hidden area on the primary master hard drive. This might be your issue, except I think this was only Compaq 486/Pentium systems. Name-brand computers always have some proprietary feature to keep us power users away (like warranties, or older Dells' nonstandard power supplies). -- Colin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
