When things go bad, go with what you know works. ;) On another note, I don't see the "keymaps" rc-service when I use rc-status. Is there any chance it is loaded before the other services? Or alternatively, is there any way to set it as the first service that starts? Does anyone listening know? I'm just curious now. -- Regards, Roger Welsh

Is that not the behaviour you are seeking? OR is that not the behaviour you get? Also to note: rc_parallel="yes" may cause the boot process to lock up. (I wonder if that has been causing some of these boot freezes.) rc_interactive="yes" is DISABLED (automatically), if rc_parallel is set to "yes". -- Best of luck Roger
Re: [gentoo-user] Loading Issue
Hi Colleen, Which bootloader and init system do you use? If it is grub, you can try adding a ' 1' OR ' real_init=single' to the bootline. If LILO, you can try adding ' append="1" ' to the bootline. If you use OpenRC, you can try adding ' softlevel=boot' This should tell your system to boot in single-user mode and hopefully not start the mysql service. Otherwise, any compatible Linux LiveCD is your friend. Good luck -- Roger Welsh

So Lucas's original problem sounds like an issue with this, I can only
imagine it is some sort of lack of pgp support.

Lol. Of course. I read that for my current setup. Though I never really
got to grips with what gpgme was, as I was more concerned with
bootstrapping a working (neo)mutt configuration, which is why I source
my : "14 ! long and cryptic command lines".
Thanks for the critique Floyd.

Re: [gentoo-user] Python and man problems_solved
I haven't followed this thread up to now, but are you setting this yourself in make.conf? It shouldn't be necessary: all packages that rely on python set their own targets - and they're best left that way too. If you twiddle with your targets yourself, sooner or later you'll find yourself having to disentangle a cat's cradle. It' not in make.conf. Your remark is judicious ;-) Roger

I'm still able to use my older kernel without a problem and the only difference that I can note between the two is that older kernel seems to load in a bunch of modules and starts mdev, I believe, before trying to locate root. I am also using Lilo since my motherboard doesn't seem to like grub.

[gentoo-user] Env-update missing

Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
1. are the lights on or flashing with a cable plugged in and pinging something valid? No. They are stable That indicates a problem - if a packet is going out/in, the lights shouls flash Excuse me; I looked only half a second!!! Yes they are flashing. Since this night I found something important: the little box put in the socket wall from where the cable goes out, doesn't no more work!!! When I put it on my two other PCs they can't connect to internet. For this reason I use one of the boxes, which works, on my desktop. Between this one and my laptop pings are ok. The two PCs can recognize each other. But, on my desktop I don't have yet internet connection. Is the network card even so out???
Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
If the PC has wireless it would be a quick test to run to prove if the eth0 NIC on the mobo is borked. Yesterday night, under Win XP (!), I could connect to internet with wifi.
Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
But, on my desktop I don't have yet internet connection. Is the network card even so out??? I don't know why, but my desktop is now connected to internet! The only thing I did was a reboot! Thanks a lot to you all who tried to help me. It was a hard way to obtain the solution. The problem was really a hardware one, not the cable, but just the little box connected to the wall socket for my connection to the router through the house electric circuit. But the most important thing is to succeed :-) Once more a great thank you. Roger
Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
You've been using powerline networking and never thought to mention it throughout this entire thread, even when people were saying it had to be a hardware problem? Excuse me Neil, and the others, but you're right, I should have mentionned it.
Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
Well, as long as your connection problem is now solved you can carry on with using your Gentoo! :) Yes, I'm very happy to be able to use it again on my desktop. Long life to Gentoo, indeed!!!
Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
Or someone's standing on the cable :-) Yes, a bad spirit!!! I resume. 1-The problem occured after I tried to share my Epson printer between my three PCs: Gentoo+XP (twice) and W7 2-The NIC is included in the motherboard (Asus P5K-E) 3-The cable from the dektop, where the problem exists, works fine on the laptop which is without problem, and the cable from the laptop doesn't work on the desktop. Therefore, I think, that's not a cable problem.
Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
This really sounds like broken hardware and if the cable is fine, the NIC is suspect. I'm afraid you're right! But, as I just wrote, the NIC is included in the motherboard... PERHAPS a solution: try a restore from the external HD where I have saved a week ago with fsarchiver on SystemRescueCD.
Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
Can you get hold of a PCI* NIC to try, it will appear as eth1. Excuse me, I don't understand what you mean get hold of a PCI* NIC :-( A lspci gives: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12)
Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
Based on all the information provided already, there is a very good chance that the network card on your mainboard is no longer working correctly. I'm afraid you're right, because neither Gentoo nor XP work and they're on two different HD. I am, to be honest, hoping that it is caused by interference of the printer It was my first idea, because it arrived just afterwards. or by a BIOS setting. I verified, but didn't see any wrong setting I'll try with an other network card...when I get time! Thank's all for trying to bring me out of the trouble. I'll tell you what will happen. Roger
Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
Apologies if I missed someone already asking these: No problem! Thanks to try to help me. 1. are the lights on or flashing with a cable plugged in and pinging something valid?

Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
Once you are inside the SystemRescueCD (has finished booting) try to start the network. It should get an IP from the router's dhcp server. If it doesn't, then try to assign manually one to eth0, and test. OK. I make an ifconfig and the adress is: 169.264.240.204 and of course Firefox has no connection Was it that what you meant?
Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
Can you please try to ping your router: ping -c 3 192.168.1.1 It fails: Destination Host Unreachable if this fails try to ping other PCs in your LAN.

Re: [gentoo-user] Internet
It depends on your router. Usually routers have at least a GUI control panel access and one of the pages shows recent attempts to connect and authenticate. My router hasn't this! Are your running some sort of an access control list on the router and have not included your MAC address? The MAC adresses are included in the box. Try setting an address manually: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.20 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default gw 192.168.1.1 (assuming that this is your router) I put this in /etc/conf.d/net; is it right? and then try to ping it: ping -c 3 192.168.1.1 The answer: ping -c 3 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

Your DHCP server serves addresses for other hardware OK? Yes. A PC with W7, my laptop with XP and Gentoo Both work fine. The problem is on my desktop with two HD: XP and Gentoo Both OS can't connect to Internet. When you say fixed addresses you mean the DHCP server gives out a fixed IP address based on the MAC address of the requestor? Yes. I put manually in the box (router) ip and mac adresses. Can you check the DHCP logs on the DHCP server? No! Regards Roger

I've compiled EXT2, EXT3 and SATA AHCI into the kernel. Does anyone have any idea what I've forgotten or missed? If you need more info, let me know. Thanks for any help you can give. I had a similar problem about 6 weeks or so ago. It turned out that the hardware (a Dell Optiplex 320) and Grub were incompatible in some way. I installed Lilo instead, and everything now works fine.

General rule of thumb... - If you have 4 gigs or more of RAM, the 64-bit OS will take better advantage of it than a 32-bit OS. - If you have 3 gigs or less of RAM, stick with 32-bit. I'm running 32-bit mode on an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 and it works fine. I did some reading and found that Grub does not work on this hardware.

Hello Andrea, Andrea Conti a...@alyf.net writes: I would check the processor type setting (A 3GHz Celeron should be P4-based) and/or muck around with ACPI. Also try disabling framebuffer drivers and using a plain VGA console. Leave all advanced settings in your bios to their defaults. And no, EM64T just means it *can* run amd64 -- i686 is fine and IMO a lot better for that kind of hardware if you do not absolutely need to run 64-bit code for some reason. That is what I thought. I looked into the BIOS: no AHCI support. I edited the genkernel .config and set the various SATA drivers as built-in. There seemed to be nothing wrong with grub or its configuration (I rebuilt it anyway, just in case). In the end I gave up and installed the machine as an amd64. I may know today how that turned out: my install script shuts the machine down at the end and I'll need to get someone to re-boot it for me as I'm not in the office. I'll let you know what happened.

[gentoo-user] x86 boot failure
Hello all, I just built a new machine (celeron 3 GHz) using a script that builds the kernel using genkernel and a config that is copied from that of the kernel on the install cd. The latter was downloaded and burned from a very recent autobuild. The build process appears to complete successfully, with nothing untoward in the logs. However, the machine will not boot but hangs at this point in the process: root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.32-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3 vga=791 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3000, size=0x2a8d80] This is the grub.conf: default 0 timeout 5 title Gentoo genkernel-x86-2.6.32-gentoo-r7 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.32-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3 vga=791 initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.32-gentoo-r7 I have verified that the names of the kernel and initrd on the disk match those in grub.conf.

However, this made my language change from french to english in many of my packages. Right click on desktop and the showed window is in english; the same with a click on the icons on it. (their name is also in english) The menu bars are sometimes in french (thunar,firefox, thunderbird, OOo, skype) sometimes not (gimp, vlc, gedit, etc.) I don't know what happened, and in spite of serching in many directions , I could not find a solution. How could I resolve this problem? Many thanks for a help Roger
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: language
Hi Roger, Hi Walt, Thank you for your answer. Just to clarify, are you saying the language problem was caused by using the video projector, or by running the OO file on your laptop, or ...? By using the video projector. It was the first time I used this one. I never had this problem with another one. Are you saying that the language problems are permanent, or just during your presentation? They are permanent :-( Roger

Have you tried setting LINGUAS=fr in your make.conf? Yes, it is. Thank's Roger

For easy writing I would probably buy graphics tablets since writing math formulas or drawing isn't particularly fast or easy with keyboard and mouse. If my old (weak) memory serves me correctly, some time back several folks where discussing getting writing tablets to work with Gentoo. Tha tablet part of this ought to be straightforward. I have a Wacom Graphire USB tablet working with several machines including PPC, Core2duo x86. I have the tablet configured in xorg.conf (have not tried with hal). There is info on the wiki: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Wacom_Tablet Roger

Hello Alan, Alan Mackenzie a...@muc.de writes: Did you get this worked out yet? Not yet, no. VERY strange that you don't see pcm as a mixer control... I've got alsamixer 1.0.21. Could it be that it choses its controls according to the capabilities of the sound card? It's a bit hard to say much with so little info but I'll offer a couple of things: 1) IMO Alsa has never run so well when drivers are compiled into the kernel. I do a lot of audio in Linux and have always had the best results using modules. I would strongly suggest you give it a try... Oh deity! I was hoping not to have to do this. I've never used modules before, since they are (or were) an unnecessary complication, and might introduce security risks. Maybe I'll have to read up on this. 2) Under /proc/asound/card0 (or whatever card you are using if you have more than 1) do you see any pcm directories? # ls /proc/asound/card0 codec#0 id oss_mixer pcm0c pcm0p pcm1p pcm2c , so yes, I can see some pcm directories. 3) Post back a little more info? cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB HDA ATI SB at 0xfbcf8000 irq 16 1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfbffc000 irq 19 aplay -l List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 aplay -L default:CARD=SB HDA ATI SB, ALC1200 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=SB,DEV=0 HDA ATI SB, ALC1200 Analog Front speakers surround40:CARD=SB,DEV=0 HDA ATI SB, ALC1200 Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=SB,DEV=0 HDA ATI SB, ALC1200 Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=SB,DEV=0 HDA ATI SB, ALC1200 Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=SB,DEV=0 HDA ATI SB, ALC1200 Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=SB,DEV=0 HDA ATI SB, ALC1200 Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=SB,DEV=0 HDA ATI SB, ALC1200 Digital IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) hdmi:CARD=HDMI HDA ATI HDMI, ATI HDMI HDMI Audio Output lsmod Opening /proc/modules: No such file or directory I have Intel HDA and load the necessary drivers as modules.

Thanks, Roger try to install app-crypt/seahorse and maybe app-crypt/seahorse-plugins I have seahorse installed and it is in the list of startup apps under Preferences. I _am_ being asked for a _passphrase_ when I try to ssh to another machine (although the dialogue calls it a _password_). I have no idea which application is popping up this dialogue. Having supplied the passphrase I can ssh to the remote machine without being asked again for the passphrase. However, if I then open an xterm on my local machine and start an xterm inside it I am prompted for the passphrase again, on the xterm, not in a dialogue box. Thanks, Roger
[gentoo-user] gnome keychain
Hello, I have previously used keychain as per the gentoo docs. Once I supplied the SSH passphrase at the console I was able to access other machines without providing a password. I have just started using gnome and am logging in using gdm. When I log in I am not asked for a passphrase. If I start a screen session in an xterm I'm prompted for my passphrase. Then I start a new xterm and use it to ssh to another machine and a dialogue opens asking for the passphrase. I would like to know how to configure gdm/gnome to ask for the passprhase once, at login so that I don't have to enter it multiple times. Thanks, Roger
