Re: [gentoo-user] Failed to start /etc/init.d/checkroot
Hi, thanks!
It seems a bit strange that checkroot gave no output, just failure -
as if it's execution didn't even started, and, since it's one of the
first initscripts to start, prehaps there's a problem with bash
interpreter or access to init.d path.
Since you've mounted filesystem and it looks okay, you can try changing
last two columns in /etc/fstab for root filesystem to 0 0, so script
won't try to check it - that way you can see if it's something with
fsck - prehaps the system will just boot.
I have tried it, but nothing change.
Then, if the rest of the initscripts won't throw some similar errors
(possibly exposing the real problem), you can probably insert a lot of
echoes/einfos to that initscript to see at which point everything hangs
and check what's wrong with the command causing it.
I have inserted some echos, now the checkroot script is:

[gentoo-user] Failed to start /etc/init.d/checkroot
Hi,
My gentoo failed to boot up. When my gentoo is booting up, after the message
mounting devpts at /dev/pts OK,
then it just stoped, and then I pressed CTRL + c to interrupt it, and the
message:

I have checked the file /etc/init.d/checkroot, and I am sure it's the same
with another checkroot file which is in another normal gentoo(I used 'diff'
to compare).
Here is the file '/etc/init.d/checkroot':

[gentoo-user] wicd start failed
Hi, Several day ago, someone in this list recommended wicd to configure the net interface. And I tried it but failed. # wicd Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/lib/wicd/wicd-daemon.py, line 45, in module import gobject ImportError: No module named gobject # wicd-client Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/lib/wicd/wicd-client.py, line 40, in module import gtk ImportError: No module named gtk After the error occurred, I have updated python to 2.5.2 and pygtk to 2.12.1-r2, I also ran python-updater, but nothing changed. So anybody knew how to fix the problem? Thanks in advanced! -- wcw
Re: [gentoo-user] Can't login from terminal?
Hi, thanks! If you have pam on your system, then it broken '/etc/pam.d/system-local-login' might be the cause, as well as user-specific files there. And if that's not the case, try commenting out pam modules like mod_access, which can add additional access restrictions. which file has mod_access ? # grep mod_access /etc/* -R grep: /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.org.pem: No such file or directory grep: /etc/ssl/certs/5ed36f99.0: No such file or directory Also, you can probably tell if pam is the cause of a problem by commenting out all the required modules from whole authentication chain (usually, commenting out everything in system-auth will do) - it should allow any access w/o password, and it's probably not pam if it doesn't... can't really think what else it might be, though. I have commented out everything in system-auth, and still can't login, although the result is diff: /*/ This is Gentoo-Server.unknown_domain (Linux i686 2.6.26-gentoo-r1) 12:22:39 Gentoo-Server login: root Last login: Thu Feb 12:09:24 CST 2009 from node07 on pts/0 This is Gentoo-Server.unknown_domain (Linux i686 2.6.26-gentoo-r1) 12:28:36 Gentoo-Server login: /*/ Now it don't prompt the Password: -- wcw
Re: [gentoo-user] Can't login from terminal?
Hi, thanks! Looks like the system is unable to launch a shell for some reason, prehaps you can change it to something default, like /bin/sh, or just something else if it's bash already. Could you please give more details? How to change it to something default? Also, I'd double-check the logs - if something fails, there shoud be a message about it. Make sure you have syslog daemon running and not dropping any debug messages. I have checked the /var/log/faillog, which I'm not sure whether it's the right log file, and seems it only contain binary data(I read it from vi /var/log/faillog). -- wcw

Well, that's pretty much the basics...
Shells for each system user are defined in /etc/passwd, which should be
edited by 'vipw' command.
What I've meant is the case, when you, or something else changed
'/etc/passwd', replacing '/bin/bash' with something like
'/sbin/nologin' or some other path, which is not a valid shell.
Hi, here is the root infomation in my /etc/passwd:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
Actually, ssh shouldn't work with invalid shell like that as well, but
one, for example, can add some commands to .bashrc which will work
only in ssh environment (using some env vars, set by ssh, for example).
Then, there might be some ssh-only shell, so I'd suggest to set shell
to '/bin/sh' (which is actually bash, for gentoo) and disable all the
configs it's using, like '~/.bashrc' or '/etc/bashrc' (see 'man bash',
for full list).
In the /root, there is no .bashrc, and in other users' home, the
.bashrc is normal:
/***
$ cat /home/wcw/.bashrc
# /etc/skel/.bashrc
#
# This file is sourced by all *interactive* bash shells on startup,
# including some apparently interactive shells such as scp and rcp
# that can't tolerate any output. So make sure this doesn't display
# anything or bad things will happen !
# Test for an interactive shell. There is no need to set anything
# past this point for scp and rcp, and it's important to refrain from
# outputting anything in those cases.
if [[ $- != *i* ]] ; then
# Shell is non-interactive. Be done now!
return
fi
# Put your fun stuff here.
/*/
Also, Neil has made a good point that there might be something
in /etc/profile, which is usually sourced by all bash-like shells.
Here is my /etc/profile, which I think is normal, too:
/*/
# cat /etc/profile
# /etc/profile: login shell setup

[gentoo-user] Iozone on multiple nodes using ssh
Hi,
I am trying to use iozone to test my cluster with ssh but not rsh, but
I still can't running iozone on multiple nodes.
I have two nodes node73 and node74 in my LAN. And each node is able to
execute commands on another one without being challenged for a
password with user dnfs:
d...@node73 ~ $ ssh node74 date
Thu Jan 8 22:44:55 CST 2009
d...@gnode74 ~ $ ssh node73 date
Thu Jan 8 22:47:19 CST 2009
Iozone use rsh to execute commands on the clients, and now I use ssh
to replace rsh:
d...@node73 ~ $ cat ~/.bashrc
# /etc/skel/.bashrc
[...]
# Put your fun stuff here.
export RSH=ssh
Here is my clientlist, which contains the nodes' information:
d...@node73 ~ $ cat clientlist
node74 /home/dnfs /tmp/iozone
Then I run iozone on node73:
/***/
d...@node73 ~ $ iozone -s 1m -Rb log.xls -t 1 -+m clientlist

[gentoo-user] Re: rsh failed : Connection reset by peer
I guessed it is the pam problem, and I re-installed netkit-rsh with USE=-pam, now I can use rsh with common users, but root still not work: # rsh -l wcw master date Tue Jan 6 23:33:35 CST 2009 # rsh -l root master date Permission denied.

So in a word, I can rlogin from localhost with common user(I meant not
root) but not from remote machine 192.168.0.7. And I can't use rsh at
all.
So anyone can help?
PS:
I just want to use iozone, and I am not very sure whether I can ssh in
the iozone clusting test or not. If I can use ssh without changing the
source of iozone(iozone is a benchmark tool, so I don't think it's a
good idea to change it), please let me know.
Thanks in advanced!

[gentoo-user] Re: [Alsa-user] speakers have no sound in Gentoo, but work in Ubuntu
Hi, thanks for your help! Both are detecting and loading snd_hda_intel. Perhaps an options line might fix on Gentoo? Add them in the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file as lines like: options snd_hda_intel model=mbp3 or 3stack or 6stack or ... It works! I have tried : options snd_hda_intel model=mbp3 and options snd_hda_intel model=dell-3stack #I got it from Brian Johnson :) Both of them works, but I can't tell the difference between them. So is there any more tips and tricks? Maybe I can optimize it. Besides, now hda_intel works both in kernel 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 :) See if they are detecting the same card by running alsa-info.sh with --no-upload option under each OS and compare the output looking for differences. The script is found at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh Here is the output of running alsa-info.sh in my Gentoo after I add the line options snd_hda_intel model=dell-3stack : http://pastebin.ca/1060228 And the output in Ubuntu is here: http://pastebin.ca/1060247 I can see some differences especially the Modprobe options. -- wcw -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] speakers have no sound in Gentoo, but work in Ubuntu
Hi, thanks for your help! It works! But I think this line options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack should be: options snd_hda_intel model=dell-3stack Once that is done, save the file and run: update-modules Once that has completed (you may need to update-modules --force if it complains). Simply reboot the computer or restart the alsasound service. Note, some programs/applets using ALSA may crash if you unload/reload the sound card. Yeah, it's very weird - It changed the theme of my Xfce and when I enter the Xfce Setting Manager, the original theme return back, even although I had not actually done setting yet. -- wcw -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Thank all you guys! I will try dvd+rw-tools since it support both DVD and CD.

1, Why I got a new kernel image(2.6.24-gentoo-r4-gb921d0de-dirty)
instead of using the old one (2.6.24-gentoo-r4-g506ab20b-dirty) ? As I
know if I add/change something as modules, all I need to do is make
make modules_install, and I don't need to install the kernel image
again and reboot my OS because all the changes are in modules and the
kernel image is all the same - fixed me please if I'm wrong.
2, Why the kernel image including my codes have a very strange name
- 2.6.24-gentoo-r4-g506ab20b-dirty.
If you are coding for the kernel, I certainly hope you read the docs!
I have tried more than two hours.
In fact, at last I fixed this problem by READ Makefile in the root of
the kernel tree(/usr/src/linux).
From this Makefile, I find this section:
/***/
# If CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set scripts/setlocalversion is called
# and if the SCM is know a tag from the SCM is appended.
# The appended tag is determined by the SCM used.
#
# Currently, only git is supported.
# Other SCMs can edit scripts/setlocalversion and add the appropriate
# checks as needed.
ifdef CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO
_localver-auto = $(shell $(CONFIG_SHELL) \
$(srctree)/scripts/setlocalversion $(srctree))
localver-auto = $(LOCALVERSION)$(_localver-auto)
endif
localver-full = $(localver)$(localver-auto)
//
I thought the localver-auto may be something like -gb921d0de-dirty.
Then I checked out the file scripts/setlocalversion, and commend all
the git thing. Now my scripts/setlocalversion is:
$ cat scripts/setlocalversion
#!/bin/sh
# Print additional version information for non-release trees.
usage() {
echo Usage: $0 [srctree] 2
exit 1
}
cd ${1:-.} || usage
# Check for git and a git repo.
#if head=`git rev-parse --verify HEAD 2/dev/null`; then
# Do we have an untagged version?
# if git name-rev --tags HEAD | grep -E
'^HEAD[[:space:]]+(.*~[0-9]*|undefined)$' /dev/null; then
# printf '%s%s' -g `echo $head | cut -c1-8`
# fi
# Are there uncommitted changes?
# if git diff-index HEAD | read dummy; then
# printf '%s' -dirty
# fi
#fi
I am not familiar with Shell script, so maybe my solution is not very
good, but it fixed the problem :)
Here's something from the help menu that pops up when you go to
make menuconfig
General Setup Automatically append version information to the version
string
and hit help for that entry
This will try to automatically determine if the current tree is a
release tree by looking for git tags that belong to the current top
of tree revision.
A string of the format -g will be added to the localversion
if a git based tree is found. The string generated by this will be
appended after any matching localversion files, and after the value
set in CONFIG_LOCALVERSION
If you are maintainig a git repository, you'd be dealing with a tree
always in flux (with the same versioning number I think), so it helps
tremendously if there's some way of differentiating between different
kernel images.
This also means that if you don't want this behaviour, just uncheck
that option in the configs.

[gentoo-user] different strange kernel name - 2.6.24-gentoo-r4-g506ab20b-dirty
Hi, I want to add my codes to the kernel source( I use gentoo-source ) and compile it as modules. All my codes are under the directory /usr/src/linu/fs/dnfs/.

I usually use git-send-email to send my patch, and it work good before.
But these day, every time I sent my patch with git-send-email, the

So I made a test. I git-send-email to my another email account which

[gentoo-user] How to use mplayer play file online?
Hi, I want to use mplayer to play files on the ftp server. For example, I have some files on: ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/thefile. Now I want to play it, but I won't need to download all the file first then play it. Is there any advice? Thanks in advanced! -- wcw -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] How to use mplayer play file online?
You have to download it as it has to be in RAM before mplayer can use it. And you have to download the whole thing as it's a container file, not a stream. So, you mean mplayer can NOT play stream? As far as I know, mplayer can play file on a web(html) site. In man mplayer, I can see that : Stream from HTTP: mplayer http://mplayer.hq/example.avi Stream using RTSP: mplayer rtsp://server.example.com/streamName So, I think there may be some ways to play mplayer from the ftp(or other protocol). Somebody work it out and suggested me to do it like this: wget ftp://THE_FTPSERVER/1.RM -O - | mplayer -cache 8192 - But I just failed every time I tried to do it in this way. Can you do it successfully? -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list -- wcw -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] uvesafb problem
Hi, guys! I want to have higher resolution in console. I used vesa-tng before and now I have update the kernel to 2.6.23 and I guess I should use uvesafb instead of vesa-tng. I have followed the guide here http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/, and Here is the options I have chose in config file about the FB thing: CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_DDC=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO=y CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y CONFIG_FB_UVESA=y CONFIG_FB_VESA=y CONFIG_FB_INTEL=y CONFIG_FB_INTEL_I2C=y and in the menu.lst file, I append video=uvesafb:1024x768 (PS: I have tried video=uvesafb:1024x768-32 and some other similar parameter, too) to the kernel command line. But after I rebooted, the resolution was still very low, which I guess was 800x640, and I couldn't see anything changed. PS: My machine is Dell 1400 laptop and use x86_64 arch. I use tuxonice-sources and I have also tried gentoo-source to test the uvesafb. Any help is appreciated! -- wcw -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I'm not at all familiar with lxr, but most text editors can do syntax
highlighting when you view source code. I like vim from the console, or

I also tried the in-kernel(2.6.22-r2) one; the version 1.0.14, which is the newest stable one that came out after 1.0.14-rc3, and also the 1.0.15-rc2 one. But none of them work. -- Regards, Mick Best regards, wcw
Re: [gentoo-user] alsa problem
The problem is fixed now! I tried the alsa-driver-1.0.14_rc3, which is used by the Redflag os, and everything is fine, now. It's very weird. Just as what I mentioned above, the 1.0.14_rc3 version one is a unstable one. I have tried both version 1.0.14,the stable one that come out after 1.0.14_r3, and the 1.0.15_rc2 one, but both of them can't drive my sound card. But now, the 1.0.14_rc3 fixed it! It's a big surprise. 2007/10/14, Chuanwen Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 2007/10/14, Hans-Werner Hilse [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, On Sun, 14 Oct 2007 15:25:12 +0800 Chuanwen Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes,both my Windows XP and another linux os Redflag have sound.

Odd. /dev/dsp should be present under these circumstances. But the
other things below explain that:
I am sure I have re-run alsaconf and both the /etc/asound.state and
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state 's content are:
# cat /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
state.Intel {
control {

}
Hm, so it seems there were problems with the mixer at that stage, too.
That file should contain settings for the various controls.
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xfe9fc000 irq 21
So the kernel is interfacing it correctly, but only in parts:
$ cat /proc/asound/devices
0: [ 0] : control
1:: sequencer
33:: timer
Here is the output of strace aplay and I hope it dose not bother you
and I also attach it as a annex.
[...]
open(/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
The playback and capture devices are completely missing, and udev
therefore didn't create /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p (PCM, card 0, device 0,
playback channel). The only explanation I can suggest is
broken/incomplete kernel/alsa-drivers support for your device. Does the
machine have BIOS settings for sound? What about the audio related
kernel log output?
Yes,both my Windows XP and another linux os Redflag have sound. Is
there anyway that I can use the Redflag's modules to driver my
gentoo?
Where can I get the audio related kernel log output?
In any case, you should probably use the separate alsa-driver from
portage, preferably the newest (unstable in portage) version. There
were many changes (some of them adding support for more devices for the
hda driver) that are not yet in the kernel ALSA tree.
I have tried the version (~)1.0.15_rc2,which I heard from someone in
some webpages that it could drive my hda sound card,but it still can't
in my machine.
And the one of version , I think I can never emerge it:

Re: [gentoo-user] alsa problem
2007/10/13, Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I ran into a similar problem after an update. audacious and mpg123 which use ALSA, died; Realplayer and mpg321 get by with the OSS api on ALSA. revdep-rebuild didn't find anything wrong. I tried various things without success. What finally worked was the following... 1) rebuild the kernel with sound support but no ALSA support at all 2) reboot 3) add the appropriate ALSA_CARDS line to /etc/make.conf, in your case ALSA_CARDS=hda-intel 4) emerge alsa-driver (and it probably still won't work) 5) emerge -C alsa-driver 6) rebuild the kernel with sound support and ALSA support 7) reboot 8) run alsaconf After this sequence, my ALSA sound finally started working again. I don't know what happened. A wild guess is that make was trying to be efficient and kept some code from a previous version, that doesn't work with the current version. It had to be totally removed in order to get make to build the new version of the code. I admit that your situation is very weird.

Basicly, there still doesnt seem to be a compelling reason to go 64bit for a desktop at the moment. Servers are a different matter. I think a 64bit os in a 64bit machine is faster than a 32bit os in most conditions.Do you think so? I cant access the machine at the moment, so I cant get the bios links- its somewhere in the disk area. Although I have checked the bios options very *carefully*,I hope your link:).

Re: [gentoo-user] Firefox and Synaptics mousepad
Please check /etc/X11/xorg.conf here: # Mouse wheel mapping. Default is to map vertical wheel to buttons 4 5, # horizontal wheel to buttons 6 7. Change if your mouse has more than # 3 buttons and you need to map the wheel to different button ids to avoid # conflicts. Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 So just set this option to 4 5.

Hey, looks like I have the same problem! Perhaps we can figure it out
together.
The kernel configuration (at least menuconfig, which I use) has
| Device Drivers --- Character devices ---
| * Direct Rendering Manager
| MIntel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G
| M i830 driver
| M i915 driver
Thank you!This work for me too.Now I only choose i915 and compile as module.
It works much well now!
If you can't tell for formatting, i[0-9]{3} are in the category `Intel
830M... I had originally compiled them in, and you can only include
one or the other in the kernel. I had chosen the i830. It was the wrong
choice -- an easy mistake, considering both list the 845G as supported
and the 830 happens to be first.
I recommend, if you haven't yet, compiling the kernel with the
Intel drm drivers as modules. X will load the right one. In
retrospect, the kernel help messege told me how.
For what it's worth, you'll also have to have in xorg.conf:
| Section Module
| Load glx
|Load dri
| ...
| EndSection
|
| Section DRI
| Mode0666
| EndSection
And now the third line of glxinfo should show 'Yes'
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ glxinfo | grep direct
| direct rendering: Yes
and your glxgears will be nice and smooth, and, in my case, 67%
faster.
Good luck.

A _gateway_ in this case is not necessary because eth1 lives on that subnet. /etc/conf.d/net in one PC config_eth0=( 192.168.1.35 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255 ) routes_eth0=( default gw 192.168.1.1 ) No. GW should be 192.168.1.63, which is the IP address of your gateway. HTH, Norberto First, the firewall configuration. Your first message said: The eth0 here has the real ip,and the eth1 have a subnet ip:192.168.1.21. But here you show that you set it to .63, as Norberto pointed out. I assume that was just a typographical error in the first email. Moving on, the default route for the firewall is probably to the outside world, and if you can ping google.com, it works. Second, the client configuration. The route for the subnet it's on (192.168.1/24) is automatically created, as before. The default route is the IP of the firewall/gateway it's behind, namely 192.168.1.63 as Norberto said. The machine that's forwarding packets to the internet for these hosts now provides the route to the outside world for these hosts. Third, you must tell your client PCs nameservers, so that they can resolve domain names. If you fail to do so, even though a ping of google.com, for example, fails, a ping of its ip address (64.233.167.99, in my case) will work. All my PCs have the same /etc/resove.conf file with the server.And now the PC can't ping through 66.249.89.99(of course,the server can). Fourth, you must check your firewall (that is, iptables) configuration to be sure your iptables all refer to the correct subnet. iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.8.0/24 -j MASQUERADE that wasn't right -- obviously the subnet should be your own. I have already corrected it to iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE from the first time. Since the firewall you're building knows all the information the hosts need to know (subnet information, routes, etc) you may wish to set up a rudimentary DHCP server on it, so that additional hosts can be added without configuration by the user. You may also wish to impliment a caching, recursive nameserver for enhanced efficiency. DNSMasq can do both.

[gentoo-user] iptables configuration problem
Hi,guys! I use iptables to let the PCs in the subnet to connect the internet outside. And i write a simple script,but it doesn't work: #!/bin/sh iptables -F #Define packets from Internet server to Intranet iptables -A FORWARD -d 198.168.1.0/24 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT #Define packets from Intranet to Internet iptables -A FORWARD -s 198.168.1.0/24 -i eth1 -j ACCEPT Here is the result of iptables -L: # iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere 198.168.1.0/24 ACCEPT all -- 198.168.1.0/24 anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination The eth0 here has the real ip,and the eth1 have a subnet ip:192.168.1.21.

Why? Long explanation: The first command enables the kernel to _forward_ packets from eth0 to eth1 and vice versa. To do the actual forwarding, the second command is used: - --table nat : Network address translation table. - -A POSTROUTING for altering packets as they are about to go out, after it is determined that they are to be forwarded by means of the first instruction. - -j MASQUERADE Masquerade the addresses of computer in the subnet with the address of the routing computer.
