[gentoo-ppc-user] Mac Mini PPC - Is this the right list?
Hi all, I'm starting to look into putting Gentoo on our older PowerPC-based Mac Mini. I wanted to know if this is the right list to ask a few questions about doing an install. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-ppc-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] circular blocking - howto escape ?

Thanks, I've already found a solution (thanks to Mike Auty on bugzilla): Thanks, this is a known problem. The version in the vmware overlay should include the fix, which is to remove /opt/vmware/server/console/lib/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1.

Basically, latest portage blocks any bash 3.2._p17 latest bash blocks any portage 2.1.4_rc1 Somewhere in between is a happy medium. IIRC, what I did was find the most recent bash without a block on portage and upgrade to that version of bash. Then upgrade portage to latest, finally upgrade to latest bash. Or it may have been the other way round. In either event, you should open each ebuild in your tree and see what blocks what to figure out your route through this. If you don't come right, post back and I'll have a more detailed look for you. The reason why this happens is that recent portages have a new feature in some eclasses that is not supported in older bash version -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

The Vista box seems to think everything's fine, but nothing happens at the printer. The Vista machine is connected via wireless to my LAN, where CUPS is working, and where a NAT router also gives access to the wider internet. It seems that this should work, but it does not. So, something got lost somewhere between your vista box and your cups server, eh? Some logs would be nice. (On vista, open up the print queue, and see if there are any errors; on gentoo, give us /var/log/cups/, preferably trimmed to show just before you tried to send a print job from the laptop and just after.) On vista, it pops up a dialog saying a test page has been sent. I don't see any queued jobs for this. On cups/gentoo, there's no sign of activity. The logs don't add a single line, even with logging set to debug. Right now I'm trying to clean up the configuration. The logs for startup show some problems with ports which I'm having some trouble deciphering. I only get a few minutes per day to work on this, so it goes slowly. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

[gentoo-user] Bluetooth-Hotspot
Hi list! I could need some help. Long story (if you don't want to hear, scroll down): For six months a year I'm attending a university of cooperative education and although I pay 1000€ a year for infrastructure and stuff like that its services for students are a big joke. Especially its WLAN-hotspot isn't nearly up to the job. Because I have an UMTS-card my idea was to set up a personal area network (PAN) via bluetooth and act as a router to support my friends during the WLAN-outages. Most of the job is already done but I have problems setting up a DHCP-server and the network configuration. Because the virtual ethernet interface only exists when a connection is established, dhcpd doesn't start from the init-script and, although I haven't tried it yet, normal network config shouldn't fare any better. When the last client disconnects, all the configuration is gone and when someone reconnects, I have to call ifconfig bnep0 192.168.4.1 again. Short question: How do I automate the configuration of network interfaces and related deamons when the whole interface keeps appearing and disappearing out of the clear blue sky? I don't think ifplugd will be up to the job (haven't tried it though). Thanks in advance! Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Re: [gentoo-user] Bluetooth-Hotspot
I've did this thing a while ago. Bluetooth router is a cool thing, unfortunatelly only in theory. To solve Your problem, look in /etc/bluetooth directory and check the manual of bluez - there are a couple of pre-up and post-up scritps that solve the problem. I did manage to get bt router working but my usb dongle was cousing a lot of problems - long story short - one dongle was not sufficient for more than two simultanous connections.
