[gentoo-user] I have a problem I would like some help with...
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hello, I have a problem going on with my 'sendmail' client. This happens to be sSMTP - - actually I don't know if the problem is with sSMTP or with some logger or daemon trying to use it. It seems to be with sSMTP, though. I will explain the problem before I go any further. I just noticed in the logs that periodically, something tries to send something through '(myhost).adelphia.net'. This is a problem, since there is no such domain. Now to the reason I think it is sSMTP (a misconfiguration, or something): When I try to send mail to a local user using 'sendmail', it tries to go through the host mentioned above. I am running syslog-ng, with logrotate. A few other things, that create logs, as well. What makes this worse is that I ran a recursive grep for 'adelphia.net' to see if there was a configuration file I missed - all I got were email addresses tied to the kernel Documentation, and the email.log and email.err files. If you need more information, I'll be happy to provide it. I just want to fix my system mail so that it doesn't try to send everything through adelphia.net.

[gentoo-user] Networking problems on new install?
I recently bought a laptop that has an onboard Realtek RTL8101E NIC. I installed a system to dual boot with Windows Vista (which was preinstalled, which I'd really like to be able to get away from eventually) using the amd64 2007.0 liveDVD to do a networkless install. The LiveDVD would load the r8169 module, but networking still would not work (dhcpcd eth0 times out). I used the LiveDVD to emerge the 2.6.19-r5 kernel. I installed the r8101 module from the RealTek site, and while this finally would allow me to see eth0 under my own environment (I could see it booting from the LiveDVD as well), networking still would not work (dhcpcd eth0 times out). Looking around the gentoo forums I've seen suggestions to use either the r8169 or r8101 modules (depending on which post I read) using a kernel 2.6.19 and 2.6.22, that finally the module may work. I don't have a spare gentoo box on which I can grab this using emerge. Any suggestions on how I can do this? My windows system has network access, and I can mount my windows partition. Is there a better way to get this NIC working? Actually my ultimate goal is to get my Marvell TOPDOG wireless NIC working, but it appears to me that I will need to get ndiswrapper and perhaps wine for this to happen, neither of which are on the LiveDVD. I'm hoping to get a network connection so I can get enough packages to update the system enough to get this working and solve other hardware issues resulting from me having a new laptop designed to work with Vista. -- Les Henderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I know, that if I have only image of the sda1 I can mount it using loop device like #losetup /dev/loop0 file.iso #mount -t ... /dev/loop0 /mnt/tmp But, how to do it if the file structure is: sda - sda1, sda2? I need to get data from sda1 and sda2 :-| Thanks a lot for help. Pat -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list I don't have time to test, but try something like this: (from: http://lwn.net/Articles/110426/) losetup /dev/loop0 file.iso blockdev --rereadpt /dev/loop0 mount /dev/loop0p2 /mnt/temp (for p2 replace with other partition, check ls /sys/block/loop0/dev) -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list Thanks, but it ends with: BLKRRPART: Invalid argument The problem can be that I did dd at disk with broken partition table. So over the disk image I've run testdisk utility and it found the partitions - labels and the correct sizes (as far as I remember). There are two partitions NTFS and FAT32 and using the testdisk utility, it enables me to browse the FAT partition, so I thing the testdisk succeeded. Any idea at that? Thanks a lot.
