I'm trying to get the system in question to behave like a solid-state router that you can plug an ethernet jack into and be on the network. How should eth1 and eth2 be configured in /etc/conf.d/net ? They should be configured as part of a bridge device (see the bridging section of /etc/conf.d/net.example) and have the address assigned (and DHCPD listing on) that bridge device. Except that this doesn't work on WLAN (MAC layer done by the WLAN adapter). But probably proxy_arp can help here. And subnet separation, of course. Just extending the netmask a bit and enabling proxy_arp would do the job. OTOH, it's also easy to configure the routes to the other subnets via DHCP. Just a matter of taste. In any case, it only works on IP layer. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] suspend2 with lvm

[gentoo-user] upgrading a large package, say Xorg
Hello, Recently I went to emerge ipodder, a program I've never used before but was interested in trying out. Unfortunately it had a dependency on pythonwx = version 2.6, which in turn had a dependency on wxGTK = version 2.6, which in turn wanted me to upgrade my entire Xorg installation... (I'm runnig 6.9). Not particularly wanting to do this, I hacked my way around it. (seems it works just fine with wxGTK/wxpython 2.4, which required no Xorg upgrade). But later on I decided what the hell, I may as well upgrade X. However, when I attempt emerge xorg-base/xorg-x11, I get a whole list of Blocked packages, the gist of it being my installation of x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 is blocking... everything. I was thinking that emerge could handle this type of situation since I'm doing an upgrade - that it would unmerge the old stuff and emerge the new stuff as it went along. Is my only option to manually unmerge my current x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (and I have hundreds of packages I've emerge'd that depend on it, naturally), then emerge x11-base/xorg-x11 to get the new version (7.1 I believe?).

Re: [gentoo-user] new foomatic-filters ebuild
Thanks for the quick response Richard:) I did see that note, but i wasn't sure what they meant by 'foomatic-db-old block'. On that note, looking at it again I see my brain farted. I know I can force installs if so desired. To answer your question, portage will update to 20050910 without complaint, however, I was looking for a good explaination of why it was blocked. I want to determine if updating and forcing/ignoring foomatic-filters in an update word would result in another weekend of cups debugging. If 'foomatic-db-old block' means that I just have to remerge one of them again, like in that old bug report I found, then great. No problem. I've just read too many forum posts with 'I upgraded with stable package X and now everythings borked.' Equeries tell me that filters are required by the foomatic-db and db-engine - effectively foomatic/printing. Has anyone done a recent printing system upgrade?

Well I don't own one of these things, but it looks like the SATA stuff goes through the JMicron chip, while the RAID is provided by the 975. I thought it was the other way around? Southbridge - 4 x SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports JMicron(r) JMB363 PATA and SATA controller - 1 x UltraDMA 133/100/66 for up to 2 PATA devices - 1 x Internal SATA 3.0 Gb/s port - 1 x External SATA 3.0 Gb/s port (SATA On-the-Go) - Support SATA RAID 0, 1 and JBOD (from http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2model=1178l1=3l2=11l3=307) That seems to say that 4 SATA drives can go through the Southbridge (P965, typo earlier, sorry) Yeah - looks like it is for that board - as it uses ICH8 for plain old SATA and JMicron for RAID, other similar boards seem to use ICH8R for RAID and JMicron for plain old SATA... just to add to the confusion :-) Confusion indeed ;) So how well is the ICH8 southbride supported? RAID isn't on my list of things to worry about, so if I try just straight-up SATA drives, will things work off of 2006.1, you think? Nuts, ignore that. Just realized the optical drives will be PATA, which goes through the JMicron. Shoot. Looks like I'll have to give either kernelOfTruth's LiveCD a shot, or possibly roll my own. Or find a LiveCD for another distro that has 2.6.18 or so. Hmm. -- Ryan W Sims () ascii ribbon /\ campaign - against html mail - against proprietary attachments -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] fonts [was: upgrading a large package, say Xorg]

However, when I attempt emerge xorg-base/xorg-x11, I get a whole list of Blocked packages, the gist of it being my installation of x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 is blocking... everything. Actually it says x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 or something like that (you obviously didn't bother to show us...). You are running xorg-x11-6.8.x. I was thinking that emerge could handle this type of situation since I'm doing an upgrade - that it would unmerge the old stuff and emerge the new stuff as it went along. Nope. Is my only option to manually unmerge my current x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (and I have hundreds of packages I've emerge'd that depend on it, naturally), then emerge x11-base/xorg-x11 to get the new version (7.1 I believe?). Or is there a better way? I believe the upgrade guide should suffice [1]. And yes, it does tell you to unmerge the old xorg-x11. Just follow that guide and you should be fine... [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml Unmerging xorg-x11-6.9 and then emerging xorg-x11-7.0 does indeed work! The unmerge was down with bated breath :- The emerge went well and the system has been working well, though a problem has surfaced that I think is related. I've got an ATI Radeon card and was using ATI's official drivers which are xorg-x11-6.x compatible. Since ATI's drivers are not 7.x compatible I'm not using them. About the time of the change I noticed that fonts weren't looking as good as I recalled them being and suspect it's related. Sigh ... Any suggestions?

What about other things that I'm not aware of. They should be automatically removed with rsync. Is there any common procedure/script/command for cleaning up my gentoo. You may find A LOT of these scripts at the Gentoo Foruns. Take a look there... I've already performed all above steps and I'm asking about what else should be done to clean up my gentoo and maybe make it thiner without decreasing its functionality.
