[gentoo-user] starting wlan0 only when wireless is turned on
Hello, I would like to have net.wlan0 started only when the wireless card is switched on. I am using ifplugd for starting net.eth0 when an ethernet cable is plugged in. Is there a similar utility for net.wlan0? Ideally so that it is configurable in conjunction with ifplugd. Thanks, -- Valmor

I don't know how this magic is happening since I had posted another message in this list on problems with wpa_supplicant and frequent dropouts during connection. I am now sending this e-mail with a wireless connection. For the record, what I had to do was: emerge --unmerge ifplugd wpa_supplicant rm /etc/wpa_supplicant/*.conf rm /etc/conf.d/net touch /etc/conf.d/net rm /etc/init.d/net.eth0 rm /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 emerge -av wicd emerge wicd /etc/init.d/wicd start rc-update add wicd boot reboot and check wired connection. disconnect, turn on wireless wicd-client -n Thanks, -- Valmor

There are reports in google about it and a suggested fix is to disable 11n and 5.0GHz: http://www.jpdw.org/blog/intel-wireless-broken-ubuntu-904 Run modinfo for your driver and find the parameters that control other than 802.11g modes and disable them by creating and adding them to a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ for your driver if it's not already there. Alternatively, see if you can disable any modes other than 802.11g at your AP and test to find out if this resolves the problem for now. HTH. Solved and saved by wicd! I am now sending this e-mail with my wireless connection. Don't know how this magic happens but all is fine after the net stuff from baselayout was thrown out the window and wicd installed as suggested by Alan on another e-mail thread. I even get the wireless LED working. My /var/log/messages is clean, etc. Great. Thanks. Since wpa_supplicant is used by wicd the problem must be either the way /etc/conf.d/net is handling the network setup or my ignorance on how to configure wpa_supplicant by hand. The iwlagn driver is good. -- Valmor

How are your /usr/lib{32,64}/libGL.so symlinks? Use eselect opengl
list and set to check that they exist and are set into whatever you
really use.
I've checked this. Here is some info. Seems correct to me.

[gentoo-user] xorg-server-1.6: Window Maker received signal 6
Hello, I recently upgraded to xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2 (gcc-4.3.4); followed all info on gentoo web site. Window Maker does not start; it pops up an error window: Window Maker received signal 6. I think the X server is running okay. I have re emerged windowmaker-0.92.0-r7 but the problem persists. Next I tried to start windowmaker with a default GNUstep/ and it works.

As I understand it, everything that can be done in xorg.conf can be done
via HAL, but I'm not sure how you would do so for the video devices.
That said, you should be able to completely get rid of the input devices
in xorg.conf, and instead install this in a file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy:
--- 8 --- /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-local.fdi --- 8 ---
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
deviceinfo version=0.2
device
match key=info.capabilities contains=input.mouse
merge key=input.x11_driver type=stringevdev/merge
merge key=input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping type=string4 5 6 7/merge
merge key=input.x11_options.ButtonMapping type=string3 2 1/merge
/match
/device
/deviceinfo
--- 8 --- /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-local.fdi --- 8 ---
This sets the options for each device that has the input.mouse
capability to the same values you had in xorg.conf.
This partially solved the problem. The optical mice were correctly
configured but the quick pointing device on the laptop keyboard was not.
That is the left/right buttons were not switched. HAL does list (below)
the device in two entries that contain the input.mouse keyword.
I find it difficult to get info on configuring HAL devices on the web;
do I need to join a mailing list? It would be helpful to find some
examples of the naming of the fdi files their contents that go under the
/etc/hal/*/policy/ directory.
Thanks for the help and any other additional inputs.

(I do need xorg.conf so I can get an external monitor working with my laptop correctly). However I would like to reverse the order of the buttons and this old xorg.conf section does not do it: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/input/mice Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7 Option ButtonMapping 3 2 1 EndSection My driver now is evdev but how about the device driver line? still /dev/.../mice? or something else out of the lshal output? info.product = 'Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse' (string) info.subsystem = 'input' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_45e_83_noserial_if0_logicaldev_input' (string) input.device = '/dev/input/event7' (string) Thanks, -- Valmor

If I do Driver evdev Option Device /dev/input/event7 it works. However the touchpad which is event9 does not reverse buttons (as expected). Do I need to configure a second input device and point it to the appropriate event? Is this the right way of configuring evdev/xorg through hal? Thanks, -- Valmor

Alan McKinnon wrote: experiment to see if it's the new hashes that are doing it. Find an account that can sudo to root on the affected machines and examine the shadow file. See what kind of hashes the affected accounts are using. md5 is 34 characters long and sha512 is 98 in this format: $x$salt$hash x is 1 for md5 and 6 for sha512. salt is 8 characters for both Thanks for spending time with this. After looking at the shadow file, I have accounts with both md5 and sha512. In particular affected accounts that have md5 and sha512. I looked closely at the .bashrc (used echo made to here marks to follow the login sequence) of the bad accounts and they were all sourcing a script from a third-party package that went bad after the OS update. Luckily this was not in all accounts and specially not in the root account. Otherwise I would have been locked outside the machine. After getting rid of that line in the users .bashrc all returned to normal. One more thing to do was to uncomment the line PrintMotd no PrintLastLog no in /etc/sshd_config to avoid the double motd/last log messages upon login.I guess after the portage update, pam is now printing that. Here's mine which works: authinclude system-auth account include system-auth passwordinclude system-auth session include system-auth And you did confirm that sudo checks for wheel group membership, and that you are still in this group? This is exactly like mine. Thanks for all the help. -- Valmor

There you can remove some of the required (for successfull authentication) modules, so their failure won't affect the process. Yeah. It is my feeling too that pam may be a problem. I've been comparing the system files against my other gentoo machine and they are just the same. However the fact that motd appears twice even when I login as root continues to puzzle me. I've checked all user accounts and only 3 out of 37 accounts have the login/su problem. I will create some new accounts and see what happens. Thanks, -- Valmor

There's been some pam updates come through on my machines the last few weeks/months. I re-emerged pam and following this message: -- LOG: postinst Starting from version 20080801, pambase optionally enables SHA512-hashed passwords. For this to work, you need sys-libs/pam-1.0.1 built against sys-libs/glibc-2.7 or later. If you don't have support for this, it will automatically fallback to MD5-hashed passwords, just like before. Please note that the change only affects the newly-changed passwords and that SHA512-hashed passwords will not work on earlier versions of glibc or Linux-PAM. -- I edited /etc/login.defs # This variable is deprecated.

I am doing this remotely so I will have to wait till I can sit on the console) still can't login or su to 3 of the accounts. Also created a new account and no luck login to to it nor using su. Apparently newly created accounts definitely are affected. Older accounts still work (???) I have used a debug option on the pam modules but didn't manage to get additional info in the /var/log/message file. Thanks for any suggestions. -- Valmor
[gentoo-user] unable to login to user account or do su - username
Hello, After a system/world update my user account dealmeida cannot be logged to or root cannot su to it. When su - dealmeida is issued at the root command prompt, it immediately returns to root. When login is at the console the motd appears (twice; why?) and then the session is closed. In the /var/log/messages I get May 2 20:42:35 xeon0 su[29286]: Successful su for dealmeida by root May 2 20:42:35 xeon0 su[29286]: + pts/1 root:dealmeida May 2 20:42:35 xeon0 su[29286]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user dealmeida by root(uid=0) May 2 20:42:35 xeon0 su[29286]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user dealmeida No other account has this problem. Any ideas? Thanks, -- Valmor

Still puzzled why motd appears twice even at root login. Thanks -- Valmor
