In my backup system, where VirtualBox recognizes USB devices.
user is not "lp" group and everything works.
Besides there would be other entries in USB, and there are none.

Maybe you should check the file permissions of your printer device, and
add your user to the appropriate group. Or just try adding your user to
the group lp.

It's the file /dev/bus/usb/003/014 if the entry with Brother Industries,

Those are the modules which are installed for your kernel. That doesn't
say if they are loaded.

The problem fixed itself.
But I'm not sure what fix it.

Maybe "modprobe vboxpci" or re-adding "user" to vboxusers group.

I just log-out / log-in and the USB printer was recognized by VirtualBox.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Because the setting is commented out so it falls back to the default,
which is yes in 6 and no in 7. Set it to what you need instead of relying
on defaults which can change.

I've been offered one suggestion which will need me to make a local overlay

What /bin/sh actually means is "root: command not found".  This is caused
by the difference between the system-wide crontab and the per-user
crontab. 

The system-wide crontab /etc/crontab needs to know as which user to
execute the command so it has a column for the username right before the
command. The per-user crontabs which are at /var/spool/cron/crontabs (but
which should be edited with crontab -e) know as which user to run the
commands so they treat everything after the time as the command.

You got the two mixed up. Run crontab -e as the root user and remove
the word 'root' part right before the command. Should fix things right
away.

He said that he "has a primary partition 1, which covers the entire hard
drive" and "a small / partition".  That made me think that he has two
disks.

[gentoo-user] tc filter add ... fails

[lee]

Hi,

it seems I might be missing some kernel modules:


,
| heimdali ~ # tc filter add dev ppp0 parent : protocol all prio 10 basic 
police mpu 64 rate 16000kbit burst 10kb action drop
| RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
| We have an error talking to the kernel
| heimdali ~ # 
`


This is a filter shorewall would add.  I have enabled options as shown
in [1].  How can I find out which modules I'm missing, or what else went
wrong?

If the same filesystem's mounted two or more times, then df shows the
shortest mountpoint.

In your case, /home /opt /tmp /usr /var are mounts of /dev/sda7 so
/opt is shown, because it's the first mountpoint lexically-speaking.

If you use "-a", then /home will be displayed too.

As I mentioned earlier, I believe portage doesn't like it if /usr or
/var are symlinks.  But, I'm going from memory - it has been a while
since I had to bind-mount them.

  Primary partitions are numbered 1 through 4 and logical partitions are
numbered 5 and up.  The "primary partition" is the entire physical disk.
5 is the small /, 6 is swap, and 7 is the rest of the disk.

Why are you using logical partitions at all when three primary partitions
will do the job?

In which case it's an extended partition; calling it a primary is 
confusing[1], even though an extended partition is a kind of primary 
partition.

[gentoo-user] unexpected interrupt

[James]

Sorry,

I still cannot reply from the web interface on gmane.
And this is an different approach suggesting for Peter's Chrony issues
so it might warrant a new thread anyway.


The installation-default file causes the start-stop-daemon to catch an
unexpected interrupt and report an error, even though the chronyd
process
continues to run.

Any time I run 'strace -ff -o/tmp/chronyd.strace /etc/init.d/chronyd
start' the init process runs normally and I'm left with scores of trace
files, none of which help because the stray interrupt wasn't detected


So, a while back the excellent tools of trace-cmd and kernelshark (part of
trace-cmd) were added to the portage tree.

Here is a little 'diddy' that might get you going [1]. Also, there is much
posted on the use of ftrace, trace-cmd and kernelshark. These very powerful
tools take a while to master. Often, I try to recreate deep performance
problems on minimal system, just to reduce the amount of data one has to parse.


..
Thanksgiving:: WE *all* have thanks to give to others for a very wide
variety of reasons, regardless of ilk. So the original, spiritually
oriented, nature of a giving thanks and sharing a meal with others, has
caught on world wide. Sharing a meal, and the breaking of bread between
folks, is as old as humanity itself. When a spiritual dimension is added, it
only becomes a more powerful message that transcends time and space.
Ultimately it is a time of peace, harmony and a celebration of life,
civility and the giving (spirit) that comprises "good will" amongst us all.


happy thanksgiving,
and peace to all!
James

[gentoo-user] Virtualbox not displaying USB devices

When the Windows 7 guest is running, click in the menu bar of Virtualbox
guest window onto "Devices -> USB". Then check the USB device you want

Did you load all the virtualbox kernel modules?

It says how to ensure they are loaded at boottime in the post emerge message.

What have you installed since then? Install and run genlop to see

emerge -a genlop
genlop --date yesterday

[gentoo-user] mdadm RAIDs on 4k drives etc

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

I know, there is a linux-raid-ML ;-)
I unsubscribed there a few months ago.

What I would like to discuss and ask here:

Is it problematic to have both 512-byte- and 4k-sector-drives in one
RAID array?

I have that case at a customer where the partition map was copied over
(sfdisk -d) from an old to a new drive.

Now we have misaligned raid member drive with 4k and the older member
with 512bytes.

Additional question here: which version to use?
0.90 for booting, right? As far as I understand the manpage the "-e"
switch does not have much to do with aligning or so.

-

I plan to add another new 4k drive to the RAID1 array after partitioning
it correctly aligned. Then let it sync, remove other disk ... partition
correctly ... etc etc

Try adding vboxpci.

I'll try adding to /etc/conf.d/modules
modules="vboxdrv vboxnetflt vboxnetadp vboxpci"

But how to load the module without restarting the box?

Run as root:
modprobe vboxpci

To check if it's already loaded run:
lsmod | grep vboxpci

There is no need to add this module, it is already loaded:

find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name '*.ko'
