Re: [gentoo-user] ADSL confusion after update
Hi Walter, My machine automatically connects during boot, and this works great. When I shutdown the machine, I get an error that adsl doesn't seem to run. I have a combined ADSL modem/router that logs on and coverts ADSL into ethernet. The only difference from ordinary LANs is that I have to run with MTU 1454. The ifconfig command gives output like... eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:EA:64:77:57 inet addr:192.168.123.252 Bcast:192.168.123.255 Mask:255.255.255.248 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1454 Metric:1 I have no ADSL support compiled in. Instead, my eth0 connects to the ADSL modem/router. Is your system possibly set up like that? thanks for the hint, but my ethernet card is directly connected to the ADSL modem.

[gentoo-user] A few (gentoo-newbie) questions (mainly about binary packages)
Dear All, I am a newbie here, and I wonder if I might ask you a few questions about Gentoo. I've looked on the Gentoo website, but can't see answers to all of these. Basically, I've now used Mandrake/Mandriva for the last 4 years, and become fairly proficient with it, but am considering that it is time to move (Mdv is getting increasingly non-free, and is also less transparent than it used to be; they also ignore bug reports!). Gentoo looks to me to be the best alternative, and I have already made frequent use of the excellent documentation eg on udev or dvd authoring. But before I jump into the unknown, I wanted to ask a few things. 1)My main machine is a laptop, so it doesn't really have either the disk space for sources or CPU power to compile everything kernel,X,kde,openoffice ...). Is there a way to do a binary install that will get me a fully working system within a few hours? Of course I want to learn gentoo properly, but I'd prefer to do this from within a working system! 2)How exactly do gentoo security updates work? Under Mdv, there is a mailing list with announcements of which RPMs to install. If I have a binary-based distribution, will it be possible to keep it current? 3)Is there a relatively stable fork of gentoo with less frequent updates, or do I have to stay on the bleeding edge? Of course I want to get eg the latest kernel, or firefox, but I ran Mandrake Cooker for a while, with 100MB of updates per day and all sorts of random breakage! 4)Does anyone know of a good resource for ex-mandriva users?

I just installed Gentoo onto a 640 MHz PIII that had a 4GB disk drive. Upside,
it took all of about 1 hr from a 2005.1 Stage3 CD, to get to the shell.
Downside,
2005.1 still has the old gcc, so it took a few days to upgrade gcc to 3.4,
emerge -e system,
emerge ufed, set the USE flags, then emerge -e world. But I only use
Enlightenment
or fluxbox. If you want KDE, emerge something really lightweight - fluxbox and
rox,
then let KDE crank in the background. Also, you'll need - laptop-mode-tools.
2)How exactly do gentoo security updates work? Under Mdv, there is a
mailing list with announcements of which RPMs to install. If I have a
binary-based distribution, will it be possible to keep it current?
The is a gentoo-announce list that the security updates get sent out on.
Typically, if
you're doing a daily syncs, the updates show up before the announcement.
3)Is there a relatively stable fork of gentoo with less frequent
updates, or do I have to stay on the bleeding edge? Of course I want to

If you run a straight arch flag, like x86, vs unstable - ~x86, then you'll
not see
lots of updates. But, running a desktop means you'll see more packages
changing.
The other consideration is Gentoo is source based. Thus the dependencies on
specific
revisions of libraries is somewhat relaxed. And you control the interrelated
dependencies.
Thus fewer packages will change vs a binary based dist. Though with
heavyweight desktops
like KDE and Gnome, there will be more related lib changes to occur, it's just
the nature
of the beast.
4)Does anyone know of a good resource for ex-mandriva users?
Sorry, the best thing is just go through the installation guide and the Portage
related
documentation. As there are no GUI based system management tools, you'll be
doing more editing of config files. Also, leaving the world of chkconfig and
/etc/rc.*
for rc-update, /etc/init.d/ and /etc/runlevels/{boot, default,network,single}
will
be like a breath of fresh air.

You cannot really stay current on binaries but you can gradually convert your binary installation to a self-compiled one. You said above that your *main* machine was a laptop with insufficient harddisk space and CPU power. That implies you do have at least one other box. You could keep the whole portage tree, including the sources, on that other box and nfs mount it. Alternatively, if that other box has got more CPU power, you can compile the whole thing there, tar everything (except the portage tree) up, boot the laptop from a livecd, get the tarball over and ... well ... untar it. ;-) That's what I usually do with a new box, so I don't have to start from scratch. 3)Is there a relatively stable fork of gentoo with less frequent updates, or do I have to stay on the bleeding edge? Of course I want to get eg the latest kernel, or firefox, but I ran Mandrake Cooker for a while, with 100MB of updates per day and all sorts of random breakage! Forget about updates or versions with gentoo. It's a work in continuous progress. Every day, a little bit (and sometimes a huge bit) gets added, changed, improved. If you stay with stable ebuilds (the default) very little will break. I switched to ~86 (still under testing) early on, and it's still rare that things break. Usually, it's fixed the next day or just hours later. I had far more problems with SuSE. Gentoo is amazing when it comes to stability, performance and hassle-freeness. It is a wee bit heavy on bandwidth, especially if one sits on a modem connection like I do.

[gentoo-user] What wants to pull in busybox?
Earlier today, I did an emerge --sync and proceeded to update world, including portage (now 2.0.53). I have an amd64 system running mostly stable, with a bunch of ~amd64 packages listed in my package.keywords and a small portage tree overlay that is not of relevance here. Now. For some reason, even after updating everything else, emerge -auDv world still wants to pull in sys-apps/busybox-1.00-r4. I have had sys-apps/busybox in my package.mask file ever since it getting pulled in as a dependency to something severely crippled my system, and I do not want to have to go through that again. Running emerge -auDvet world indicates that nothing depends on busybox, nor does it depend on anything else. It is not in my /var/lib/portage/world. So why does portage want to install it, and how do I get portage to *not* install it without that giving me the all ebuilds that could satisfy 'sys-apps/busybox' have been masked whenever I want to do *any* update? If it helps, along with the above error message I also get: !!! Problem resolving dependencies for sys-apps/busybox !!!

This has resulted in the exclusion of many audio, video, and graphics formats. Let me know if any of you Gentoo/kde users can recommend any particular USE flags for the KDE dependency tree.

Hi list,
i would like to know if the x11-drm ebuild, as of now
(x11-drm-20051223), supports the r300 and r350 ATI video cards.
I tried to get the r300 driver working on my system a few weeks ago.
Unfortunately my PCIe Mobility X600 is not supported yet, so I never
got anything working. You need a 2.6.15 kernel, modular X.org 7, and
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati.
As for the list of cards supported:
1. Run lspci to identify the slot of your adapter:
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Tech...
2. Run lspci -n -s slot to get the vendor and card ID:
carcharias rjf # lspci -n -s 03:00.0
03:00.0 0300: 1002:3150
From the above, the vendor ID is 0x1002, and the card ID is 0x3150.
3. In the kernel sources, look at drivers/char/drm/drm_pciids.h to see
if the vendor and card ID appears in the table. If it does, your card

Re: [gentoo-user] x11-drm and r300-r350
Hi Richard,
first of all for your reply.
1. Run lspci to identify the slot of your adapter:
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Tech...
2. Run lspci -n -s slot to get the vendor and card ID:
carcharias rjf # lspci -n -s 03:00.0
03:00.0 0300: 1002:3150
From the above, the vendor ID is 0x1002, and the card ID is 0x3150.
3. In the kernel sources, look at drivers/char/drm/drm_pciids.h to see
if the vendor and card ID appears in the table. If it does, your card
is supported, and might actually work. An example line from this
table is:
{0x1002, 0x4E47, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_R300}, \
The first two numbers are the vendor and card IDs.
Ok my card id is 4e50. I've search for it in the drm_pciids.h file and
i didn't found the appropriate card. Indeed i've found the 4E50 card
which is, as the one i have, a rv350 radeon card. However that
different capital letter is making me think that something is
different over there...
But another question come up on my mind: should we use instead of the
in-kernel drm support the one given by the x11-drm package?
Best regards,
MC

[gentoo-user] Rx Errors on NIC
I have a AMD Athlon 2800+ processor running on a Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard. This motherboard uses the Nvidia NForce2 chipset. It has both an Nvidia and a 3Com 100 mbps network adapter integrated. Initially I used the Nvidia network adapter but noticed a lot of Rx errors. The errors and the frame errors matched exactly. I did the standard testing to try and isolate the problem. I tried known working patch cables and known working hub ports. Then when the errors persisted, I even moved the box to a known working cable run. The errors remained. So I figured that the actual port on the motherboard must be bad. I recompiled my kernel with 3Com networking support and began using the 3Com port but I am still getting errors. Here's my current 'ifconfig' output: eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:54:0C:60:8D inet addr:192.168.1.6 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:131785 errors:481 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:760 TX packets:168955 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:27189676 (25.9 Mb) TX bytes:169280962 (161.4 Mb) Interrupt:18 Base address:0xb000 The errors have changed a little in that now the frame errors exceed the errors. How can that be? I must not understand the output. Anyway, I'm starting to think I may have some configuration issues as I find it hard to believe that both ports are bad. I'm a Gentoo newbie and started with kernel 2.11. I've upgraded once to 2.13-r5 which is where I'm at now. I have not changed any networking parameter from their defaults as far as I recall. Any ideas on what might be going on? Thanks, Drew -- Visit The Alchemist's Warehouse Magic Tricks, DVDs, Videos, Books, More! http://www.alchemistswarehouse.com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Using a high port number isn't terribly helpful - it's just security through obscurity and if someone were to port-scan you with all nmap's options turned on they'd surely figure out you were running ssh on that port. Since SSH is encrypted there's not much you need to do to secure it.

Re: [gentoo-user] A few (gentoo-newbie) questions (mainly about binary packages)
Hi, Most of your questions have been answered by more knowledgeable people on the list than I. However, I do I one comment: Richard Neill wrote: 4)Does anyone know of a good resource for ex-mandriva users? I can't say enough good things about Gentoo documentation: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml It has helped me out a number of times. I'm a relatively new Gentoo user as well (Sept. 2005) and I'm not a techy. I used Redhat and then, Fedora for about 4 years. People on this list have been great and initially pointed me toward various Gentoo documentation. I've finally clued in and realized what an invaluable resource this is. Case in point: I recently installed Gentoo on my laptop. It's a 2.4 gHz with a 40 gig hard drive, so perhaps it's a little more powerful than yours. I followed the steps in the Gentoo handbook and built ACPI into the kernel. Once I got to the boot stage, I had problems because I didn't follow the ACPI guide and I should have. Once I followed the steps in that, I was able to compile xwindows and kde-meta without a hitch. And for what it's worth, I had never compiled a kernel before using Gentoo and now, I can do it without being scared out of my mind - I may not be an expert, but I'm getting better and I am learning. And as I said, I'm not a techy - I could be someones grandmother! :-) I have to say that I am totally biased - Gentoo is the best! Anyway, that's my 2 cents! :-) Regards, Colleen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Anyone here an ndiswrapper expert? I would most welcome some setup help... I'm working with a COMPAQ R3320US which sports an internal wifi setup using the broadcom BCM4306 chipset.

However, the desired WAP uses 128bit wep, stealth (non visible SSID) and mac filterig to help keep out the goonies... and me too aparently. I cannot establish a wifi connection to the desired WAP to save my file. However, dumping the ndiswrapper framework and plugging in a pcmcia senao wireless card using the orinoco/hermes drivers works flawlessly... What to do now?

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Filename modification with suffix
Such a question shows the power of bash programming.
Method1 :
ls -1 *.jpg | while read file; do mv $file \
donald_$file; done
Method2 :
ls -1 *.jpg | awk '{ print mv $1 donald_$1; } | \
/bin/bash
Method3 :
find -name *.jpg -exec mv {} donald_{} ';'

Hi list,
maybe this question is a little bit related since it regards non
Gentoo-specific topics.
I would like to add a specific suffix to a list of files. For
example i have files of the type:
duck1.jpg
duck2.jpg
duck3.jpg
and i would like them to become:
donald_duck1.jpg
donald_duck2.jpg
donald_duck3.jpg
Does somebody knows a simple way to do this via shell?
Did anyone mention RENAME???
A simple rename duck donald_duck duck*.jpg would work well also
Cheers.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: XFCE user taking KDE for a spin
-* are masked for all archs. This is experimental beyond ~*. Furthermore, you should at least specify your particular arch, like x86, amd64, ppc. Many applications don't even use a -* arch so you will be missing a whole bunch of stuff. A better way to handle this is to use the package.keywords file and add to it any experimental ebuilds you want. man emerge will give you more information. I think he meant -* in USE and then adding some flags: for ex. USE=-* kde That's exactly what I meant. Sorry about that. Peper -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
