[gentoo-ppc-user] Udev events break ALSA?
Hi, When I insert a USB PCMCIA card, and when I connect my Palm OS based PDA the annoying side effect is that ALSA dies and needs restarting. On the other hand this is not manifested when plugging in and out: USB mice, USB mass storage devices (into the built-in USB hub), USB printers. I do not think I tried anything else, at leats I cannot remember more. Of course, I _think_ the problem comes from udev, I have no idea what to try to diaagnose it further. Has anybody seen anything like this? Running sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1 (supplies the ALSA drivers), sys-fs/udev-084, media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.10, media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.10, media-sound/alsa-tools-1.0.10 on a Tibook rev. IV (PowerBook3,5). Many thanks in advance, Stefan -- If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't.

[gentoo-user] Data Protector (Omniback) on Gentoo?
Hello! I'm trying to install Data Protector 5.5 on my Gentoo Linux system. When I go to Install Clients and enter the hostname of my Gentoo system, it asks for the root password and then tells me, that the system is not in the list of supported architectures. That's right - only old Linux distributions are supported. Did somebody manage to force the installation onto a Gentoo system? If so, how?

Do you mean it appears in /etc/make.conf ... yes, I put it in /etc/make.conf because I noticed quite a few ebuilds use the samba or smb use flag. You could also put it in /etc/portage/package.use if you only wanted it enabled for a specific ebuild, and not your whole system. When I type `emerge -vp -uD samba' it does not find andy dependancies and doesn't want to reinstall samba. Further no `samba or smb' flags are shown for samba in the output neith on or off. My understanding was that any USE flags that might effect a package are shown when you pretend install it. Even after adding `samba' and `smb' to /etc/make.conf, no `samba' or `smb' flag is apparently involved with a samba install. Further I've never had samba or smb in /etc/make.conf before and samba has worked fine over serveral installs. smbclient //host/share works fin now so doesn't that mean its working as expected?

Re: [gentoo-user] 4/8 CPU Gentoo server
gentuxx wrote: The main purpose of this box is going to be log crunching and archival. We have logs that range from tens of MBs to a GB a piece (uncompressed). The scripts running on it will be transferring (over the network), decompressing, grepping, normalizing, recompressing, and inserting into a local database from dozens of sources simultaneously. In a prior situation, I had a Sun e4500 with 8 UltraSPARC IIIs, 12GB of RAM, and about a TB of disk attached (SCSI and FC). There were times it wasn't enough. I'm hoping to at least match that functionality (preferably better it). Single boxes don't scale. :-) That's probably simplifying too much, but there is some truth there as well. I'd seriously think about setting up a preprocessing farm of 1U boxes that do most of the crunching and then doing inserts into a smaller db box. I've even worked on systems where logs go directly into a db, then are pulled and processed by another farm, then inserted into more of a data warehouse system for reporting later. You'll have to decide if the application can be broken up into separate processing units or whatever. If you do go that route it's usually an easy sell to management. We have one $15k box, but it's too small. We could buy one $30k box to do everything and completely replace the $15k box that we haven't fully depreciated yet or I can buy three $4k boxes to sit in front of our existing server which will share the load. And next year when we start to slow down again instead of buying an even bigger $60k box we just buy three more $4k boxes. Can I have some programmer time to make some architecture changes so I can save you around $65k over the next two years? The more comparisons and reviews I read are leaning me in that direction. However, it doesn't look like HP offers a 4-way Opteron box. I'll have to ask the vendor. from hp.com the DL585's appear to be configurable for 4-way once you get into their config tool. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Weird Problem with XFCE4 blocking ports.

This only happens in XFCE4 logged in a regular user, it will work as root. I can reach these ports from the console as a regular user, I can reach this ports if using any other window manager than XFCE4. I have tryed every single terminal program within XFCE4 and it will not work. I removed iptables and all my rules, so its not my firewall (standalone machine on public ip). If I telnet to these ports while using xfce4 I get connection refused, also I sniffed the connection with tcpdump and ethereal and can see that no packets ever make it to eth0. I am completely baffled by this. I assume some permission has changed somewhere but is does not explain why some ports are accessable ( like ssh, dns etc).

[gentoo-user] Java Package Freeze
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi users, developers and not-so-innocent bystanders, effective a few days ago, we have entered a winterly package freeze for all packages maintained by the Java Team. No new Java packages will be put in the tree unless they fix serious issues or security vulnerabilities. In the coming weeks, the team will stabilize Java packages in ~arch according to de facto Gentoo stabilization criteria. After the stabilization has been completed, remaining packages in ~arch will be wiped. ~arch will then be repopulated with brand spanking new, 1.5-compliant packages. This will finally bring full 1.5 (and soon also 1.6) support to the tree for x86, amd64, ia64 and ppc. Other arches will follow as upstream 1.5 VMs show up for them. If you are an arch user, you need not worry at all. If you are using ~arch, in the worst case, you may experience that your favourite and really unstable package in ~arch gets removed temporarily during the transition. Fear not, it will be restored and possibly even upgraded. As the migration proceeds, we will present you with documentation on how this affects developers and users. Users of our experimental overlays, and any other interested parties, should join are encouraged to join [EMAIL PROTECTED] As usual, flames are received, extinguished and tracked through bugs.gentoo.org.

Re: [gentoo-user] Connecting to a WEP Airport router
Hello, my housing complex just switched to an Airport router and I can't seem to connect. They are supposedly using WEP. There was a 5-character psk at first and wpa_supplicant told me it was an invalid key and it had to be at least 8 characters. They switched it to a 13-character psk and I still can't connect, although I don't get the invalid key error now. Does anyone know how to connect to a WEP Airport router with Gentoo? Everyone else is using Windows and Mac and they are connecting just fine. I've tried lots of different configurations in wpa_supplicant.conf to no avail and all of my software is up to date. well, you DON'T use wpa_supplicant. you put the key in /etc/conf.d/ wireless, unless it's open, you can say any and get connected. I still can't get this to work. I have the essid and key defined in '/etc/conf.d/net'. I've tried defining the key like s:key and s:key enc open and open s:key. I've tried other little things but to no avail. I can connect to a non-Airport WEP router via wpa_supplicant just fine, and an unencrypted non-Airport router via iwconfig just fine as well. What else could be the problem connecting to this WEP Airport router via iwconfig?

Run these two lines from bash (substitute DEV=wlan0 for your device, and

You can try to add an entry for your usb device to /etc/fstab
/dev/sdd1 /gvm/mountpoint vfat
noauto,user,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859
-1 0 0
could do, but I have multiple drives (media readers, external hd's, etc)
so I can't do this for all of them, especially when I plug them in
random orders. And I don't want to play with udev (just yet :)
udev is great for this.
As an example I'll try to go through the config for my usbstick.
With my thanks to http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html for the
great guide, here comes the cliffnote version :)
My usbstick comes up as /dev/sdc
# udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sdc)
snipped
looking at device '/devices/pci:00/:00:02.1/usb1/1-9':
ID==1-9
BUS==usb
DRIVER==usb
SYSFS{configuration}==Storage
SYSFS{serial}==ABCD12345678
SYSFS{product}==2.0 Card Driver
SYSFS{manufacturer}==Singim
SYSFS{maxchild}==0
SYSFS{version}== 2.00
SYSFS{devnum}==5
SYSFS{speed}==480
SYSFS{bMaxPacketSize0}==64
SYSFS{bNumConfigurations}==1
SYSFS{bDeviceProtocol}==00
SYSFS{bDeviceSubClass}==00
SYSFS{bDeviceClass}==00
SYSFS{bcdDevice}==014f
SYSFS{idProduct}==2005
SYSFS{idVendor}==0dda
SYSFS{bMaxPower}==500mA
SYSFS{bmAttributes}==80
SYSFS{bConfigurationValue}==1
SYSFS{bNumInterfaces}== 1
I've removed some device entries returned by udevinfo, but this is the device
entry that is usefull for what I want. It gives us information on how I can
let udev recognize the usbstick.
BUS==usb
SYSFS{serial}==ABCD12345678
SYSFS{product}==2.0 Card Driver
SYSFS{manufacturer}==Singim
These are the keys I'll use to match the usbstick, udevinfo already formatted
them for use in udev rules.
Note: You cannot mix keys from different device entries!
I've chosen the device entry /devices/pci:00/:00:02.1/usb1/1-9, so I
can only use keys from that device in the rule.
The only exception are global keys, KERNEL (the kernel device name) is a
global which can be used with all device entries. The usbstick came up
as /dev/sdc, so I can use this in for the KERNEL key.
KERNEL==sd*
This will match sda2, sdb, sdc1 etc. so it doesn't matter in when the usbstick
is inserted or how many partitions are on it. Now I should have enough keys
to distinct the usbstick from other devices, I only need to name it.
NAME=%k
%k is replaced with the kernel device name (sd*)
Note: I'm using = for assignment instead of == for matching
And now the most important part, a symlink with a fixed name so even us humans
can recognize the usbstick. Now I will always be able to access the usbstick
on the same location, the symlink will always point to the device file of my
usbstick.
SYMLINK=singim%n
%n is replaced with the partitionnumber of the drive
It creates a symlink to the value in NAME
Now I have all the data to complete the rule, the keys are seperated with a
comma ','
Note: this goes on 1 line !!!
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
KERNEL==sd*, BUS==usb ,SYSFS{serial}==ABCD12345678
,SYSFS{manufacturer}==Singim,SYSFS{product}==2.0Card Driver, NAME=%k,
SYMLINK=singim%n
After you've added/changed a rule run udevstart to let the changes take effect
# udevstart
If the device didn't show up you probably made a mistake in the udev rule
# ls -l /dev/singim*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 feb 10 01:39 /dev/singim - sdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 feb 10 01:39 /dev/singim1 - sdc1
Done!
No matter what, my usbstick can always be accessed through /dev/singim
Note: http://www.reactivated.net mentions something about GVM not being able
to use symlinks, in that case you could swap the NAME and SYMLINK values.
NAME=singim%n, SYMLINK=%k
Good luck :-)

Or you can set the PSC1600 to be the network-wide default printer by connecting to remoteserver:631 and configuring it there - of course if you have a ~/.lpoptions file that will override it. -- Manuel A.

[gentoo-user] Sound not playing...
Hey all, When I try to play music using XMMS a variety of things happen: if XMMS is set to use OSS, it complains it can't open the oss driver the same thing happens if I attempt to use ALSA. if I configure XMMS to use ARTS the song appears to play, but I don't hear any sound.

[gentoo-user] ImageMagick convert utility; latest version has problems
I've found a couple of ways to use ImageMagick's convert utility
to salvage underexposed digital photos. Both methods preferentially
boost the brightness of darker pixels, so that dark areas are boosted,
without blowing out brighter areas. My problem is that the latest
stable builds (6.2.2.5 and 6.2.4.2-r1) don't work, so I've had to mask
them out in /etc/portage/package.mask with the line
media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.2.3-r1
The two particular uses are...
1) a script called pwrr that uses a power curve, like so
#!/bin/bash
convert -depth 8 ${1} -fx u^${3} ${2}
example
pwrr input_file.tif output_file.tif 0.5
The lower the 3rd parameter, the more that dark areas get brightened.
Should be below 1 and greater than 0. Approx 20 seconds to process a
2048x1536 TIFF on an AMD3000+ K8 (32-bit mode) with 2 gigs of RAM.
2) a script called logg that uses a logarithmic curve like so
#!/bin/bash
convert -depth 8 ${1} -fx ln(u*(${3}-1)+1)/ln(${3}) ${2}
example
logg input_file.tif output_file.tif 16
The higher the 3rd parameter, the more that dark areas get brightened.
The 3rd parameter *MUST* be greater than 1. Approx 60 seconds to
process a 2048x1536 TIFF on an AMD3000+ K8 (32-bit mode) with 2 gigs of
RAM.
The latest unstable builds complain about not finding libMagick.so.6.
If I create the appropriate symlink, convert runs, and returns
*INSTANTLY*, instead of taking time to process the file. The output
file is a straight copy of the input file (minus metadata) with no
processing at all. Other new builds do make the lib, but don't work.
They also create an unprocessed copy, and return instantly.
The following ebuilds are available
imagemagick-6.1.8.8.ebuild
imagemagick-6.2.0.4.ebuild
imagemagick-6.2.0.6.ebuild
imagemagick-6.2.1.5.ebuild
imagemagick-6.2.1.5-r1.ebuild
imagemagick-6.2.2.0.ebuild

imagemagick-6.2.4.2-r1.ebuild
imagemagick-6.2.5.2.ebuild
imagemagick-6.2.5.4.ebuild
imagemagick-6.2.5.5.ebuild
imagemagick-6.2.6.0.ebuild
I set /etc/portage/package.keywords to accept ~x86 builds like so...
media-gfx/imagemagick ~x86
I built 6.2.6.0. I tested it, and it failed. Tried 6.2.5.5, same
results. Rinse, lather, repeat, with the immediately earlier version
each time. It wasn't until I got down to 6.2.2.3-r1 that it worked.
Other relevant data...

Re: [gentoo-user] dwg2dxf
On Wednesday 08 February 2006 15:46, Álvaro Castro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote about '[gentoo-user] dwg2dxf': Under my amd64 gentoo system it runs a beautiful segmentation error. Once I read that segmentation errors are generally due to the hardware. When I run it on my laptop (x86) everything goes ok. Actually, segmentation errors are generally software bugs, but there are some programs (e.g. gcc) that are so well-tested and widely used that receiving a segmentation error in one of them is likely a hardware bug. It could easily be that that the program in question is either not 64-bit clean or is otherwise /slightly/ not portable between the two different environments. (For example, it expects structure packing to act like gcc 3.3 instead of gcc 3.4.) Finally, it could be a transient error that isn't strictly due to any incompatibility, but does show up more often (or at all) in a different environment (prelink vs. non-prelink; swaping vs. not; memory empty/zero'd vs. not, etc.) This is the first time I face this problem. What should I do. Doesn't it emulate the 32-bits environment?? AMD processors and the 64-bit linux kernel are quite happy running 32-bit applications (although, that may require a particular kernel option). However, 32-bit applications are not so happy loading 64-bit libraries or (IIRC) vice-versa, so you may not have the libraries you need. A dlopen() call that program assumes works (doesn't check for an error) might cause your segmentation fault, BTW. multilib, in gentoo-amd64-speak, should cause 32-bit versions of some (many? most? all?) libraries to be built, but requires a profile change and may force a emerge -e (guessing here, I'm not sure what, if any special migration is needed when going to multilib from no-multilib or vice-versa) even without multilib, a number of 32-bit libraries are available through the emul-* packages in gentoo. Well, thanks all the people helping me with this hard work of building my linux system! While I don't think I've helped with your issue, I'd be more quick to blame it on the software you are trying to install, possibly in combination with a/some missing libraries. You might be able to see what is wrong with an ldd/strace against the application. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
