[gentoo-user] What should i use instead of /dev/usb?

2007-10-27 Thread Adam Carter
I am using some hardware that requries external drivers (no ebuild
either) and it says i should;
mknod /dev/usb/panel0 c 180 180
 
Since /dev/usb doesnt exist, what is the correct alternative?

thanks.

Re: [gentoo-user] From /etc/locale.build to /etc/locale.gen

2007-10-27 Thread Roman Zilka
 However I found that I have a locale.gen ; I edited it to include en_US
 and it_IT, and run locale-gen. Now can I upgrade to glibc-2.6 ?

Yes, you can. If you've always had the file, you could've upgraded to
2.6 anytime. I suppose locale-gen (run automatically during glibc
emerge) has been using your locale.gen instead of locales.build (the
obsolete file) for a long time - locale.gen has been the preferred way
a year or so.

What kind of hardware is this?

 Since /dev/usb doesnt exist, what is the correct alternative?

Either mkdir /dev/usb before the mknod or (better IMHO):

Write a udev rule to create the device node at plugin time, see

[gentoo-user] eth0 fallback configuration is ignored

2007-10-27 Thread Jules Colding
Hi,

My /etc/conf.d/net says:

config_eth0=( dhcp )
fallback_eth0=( 192.168.3.3/24 )
fallback_route_eth0=( default via 192.168.3.1 )


But dhcpcd is ignoring this. Instead it is using
/var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info to set eth0. This looks like the '-E'
option is used, but where? How can I make my fallback configuration
effective?

Thanks,

is it by any chance assigning you a 169... address?  Did you recently
upgrade dhcpcd to ... around ... 3.1.6 I think?  Anyway, it now tries
zeroconf or whatever it's called, to give you an address when there's

If you read your elog messages you would have seen:

You have installed dhcpcd with zeroconf support.
This means that it will always obtain an IP address even if no
DHCP server can be contacted, which will break any existing
failover support you may have configured in your net configuration.
This behaviour can be controlled with the -L flag.
See the dhcpcd man page for more details.

get rid of the zeroconf use flag or use -L.

[gentoo-user] Problem using the pppoe plugin

2007-10-27 Thread John covici
Hi.  I am having a very frustrating prroblem when I use the pppoe
plugin like so:

config_ppp0=(ppp)
link_ppp0=eth2
plugins_ppp0=(rp-pppoe)
username_ppp0='vzeqmmst'
pppd_ppp0=(
updetach
noauth
ipcp-accept-remote
ipcp-accept-local
holdoff 3
lcp-echo-interval 15
lcp-echo-failure 3
)

What happens is that when I use this a computer on my local network
has intermittent connection problems -- it connects to google just
fine, but not to Microsoft sites and other places.

Now what is very strange is -- if I use the rp-pppoe package
independent of gentoo using there adsl-start command instead of the
gentoo configs, then everything works just fine.  Both methods are
using the same local startup script for ppp which fixes up the packet
forwarding, etc., so I haven't a clue as to why one has this problem
and the other does not.

Any ideas on this would be appreciated.

For me, mtu 1492 in my pppd config script is sufficient. If that's

 Another thing is when I want to go back to the xfce window manager the
 decorations vanished again, the mouse pointer too. I could only bring
 them back by deleting a few config files in my home-directory.
 
 Furthermore the dependency for libwnck was raised a few days ago which
 resulted in pulling the unstable gtk+ glib and pango packages in.
 
 This hosed all my apps requiring gtk which means nearly everything. I
 downgraded but this did not help. I had to unmerge and then reemerge
 glib to get things working again.
 
 So I think I will leave my fingers from compiz-fusion until it is more
 stable or anybody knows a solution to this problems!
 

This doesn't sound very good :-(

I will wait, too, or does someone here got better results?

 Exactly where did you put your mtu -- I don't see it in the possibly

It is in the Section INTERFACE HANDLERS:

#mtu_eth0=1500

 plugins_ppp0=(rp-pppoe)

Are you sure this line is correct?

According to net.example this are the plugins for PPP:

# Here you should specify what pppd plugins you want to use
# Available plugins are: pppoe, pppoa, capi, dhcpc, minconn, radius,
#radattr, radrealms and winbind
#plugins_ppp0=(
#   pppoe # Required plugin for PPPoE
#   pppoa vc-encaps   # Required plugin for PPPoA with
an option

By the way rp-pppoe is depreciated in favor of the PPP Module see the
PPP and ADSL section for more information.

This behaviour is called APIPA (Automatic PRivate IP Addressing)

It provides DHCP-like functionality without a DHCP server.  Pretty
useless, unless you use it to configure all your IPs or a route for that
subnet.

 Can't really tell what this package does but how does it help Gentoo?
 

 It validates .desktop files. If installed Gentoo uses this to print an elog 
 message for .desktop files that doesn't follow the specs. Obviously it only 
 helps Gentoo if you make sure it gets reported at bugs.gentoo.org whenever 
 you encounter messages about invalid .desktop entries in packages in the

Okay, a good thing.  Will install.

[gentoo-user] Glxgears crashes X

2007-10-27 Thread Philip Webb
Another day of probing finally got DRI working on my new machine:
the basic problem was that Mesa needed recompiling with 'i810' enabled.

Naturally (wry smile), this led to another show-stopper:
X starts with no errors in the log, but 'glxgears'  'glxinfo' crash X.
There is a brief back-trace, but it shows nothing immediately useful.
There are many reports via Google  Gentoo Forum of similar experiences,
some of them as recent as Aug-Sep 2007, all involving Nvidia or Radeon,
but none revealing a cause, let alone a solution.

Might the problem involve a conflict between kernel/Xorg modules ?
Is there some required combination of entries in  xorg.conf ? --
'man xorg.conf' is not the most helpful of documents,
it not being clear what many of the options etc really do.

The processor is an Intel G33 using drivers 'i810'  'i915' ;
kernel 2.6.22-r8 ; 64-bit system .

Has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions ?

I answer to your last two threads.

 OK, thanks to all who responded -- I had to do mtu_ppp0=1492 and then
 I had to do the iptables rule.  I still wonder why the native package
 worked, but not the plugin?  Go figure.

It seems that the mtu problem only occurs when you use the kernel module
and the ppp package. So this problem hit you when using the plugin from
ppp and not with rp-pppoe. From [2]: Warning: For people transitioning
from the rp-pppoe package, or for people who hit weird connection
resets, see the MTU section in the Troubleshooting chapter.

   plugins_ppp0=(rp-pppoe)
 
  Are you sure this line is correct?
 Yep, otherwise it would not work at all, so looks like some
 documentation needs to be fixed?

I don't think this is the correct configuration. I recommend you to read
here [1], [2] and the PPP section in net.example. The mtu problem is
explained there too.

Rp-pppoe is depreciated and has been integrated in ppp and I don't think
there is an option like plugins_ppp0=(rp-pppoe). But if you use
plugins_ppp0=(pppoe) the rp-pppoe plugin of the ppp package is used!

This here is from my logs:

pppd[19849]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
pppd[19849]: RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.4
pppd[19852]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0

after that, compiling gcc still fails.

This has nothing to do with libexpat - this is an ICE (Internal
Compiler Error). There are two things that cause ICEs:
 * Bad RAM
 * Bad compilers

A bad compiler can be due to a bug in the compiler code, or excessive
CFLAGS. Your CFLAGS look fine, though. Its unlikely to be bad RAM if
it consistently fails in the same spot.

You might want to file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org.

Otherwise, your only option is to get a rescue compiler (I don't
remember the address by heart but I'm sure someone will mention it.
Also, Google).
