[gentoo-user] OT - glslideshow failing; don't know why

[Michael Sullivan]

My screensaver is failing.  I use a slideshow of a directory of
photographs.  I use xfce with xscreensaver-5.15.  The error says
something like could not find some font, using fixed instead;
xscreensaver killed...  In the preview window of Main
Menu-Settings-Screensaver my photos are show correctly, but when I hit
the preview button, the screen goes black and that error message is
displayed in yellow.  I cannot find that error anywhere in the log
files.  Can anyone tell me where that error can be found, so that I can
provide more information hopefully forward resolving this problem?

The error message says xscreensaver 0: child pid 32735  glslideshow
terminated with signal 11

 But his emerge wants to install qt-4.8.1, added to the tree 29 Mar

 sync a tad more often, I don't think that is his real problem.
 
 More likely he has Qt packages in world that are now dropped, or not
 updated to 4.8.1. As well as bluedevil stuff in there as well.
 
 It's looking more and more like the OP uses plain emerge to install
 libs and such things, instead of the much better (by keeping them out
 of world) emerge -1
 
 


I try to keep my world file clean.  I use -1 whenever merging anything I
don't actually want.  I don't want bluedevil (or any of that wireless
crap), but a few years ago the system started requiring bluez and I
couldn't get out of it.  I do not ever plan to use wireless on this box...

 Do you have the bluetooth USE flag set?
 
 Have you emerged kde-meta?
 
 

I have emerged kde-meta, but until this morning I didn't have the
bluetooth flag, no.  Now I have -bluetooth in /etc/make.conf

[gentoo-user] Slot war on my system

[Michael Sullivan]

I have been fighting with this for at least three weeks now.   Most of
the conflicting packages are qt-based, between 4.8.1 (which I want) and
4.7.4 (which I don't want).  I have rebuilt every package I can find
again 4.8.1, but emerge still wants to install 4.7.4, despite the fact
that I've altered my /etc/portage/package.mask file to try to keep them
away.  Here's my /etc/portage/package.mask:

[gentoo-user] [Possibly OT] rile-roller having problems with deletions after upgrade to 3* series kernel

[Michael Sullivan]

Each night (at midnight) I make backups of files that changed the
previous day, and on the first of the month I make full backups of
important directories (/home, /etc, etc etc).  Each morning I do
maintenance on the partial backup from the day before.  I've noticed
that since I upgraded to the 3* series kernel (at this moment it's
3.2.12) I've had problems with file-roller - I tell it to delete a
directory (something I consider nonessential like ~/.thumbnails) and I
says Reading archive... without actually deleting anything.  I've
found that I can delete ten files at a time, which can be really
inconvenient when there are hundreds of nonessential files I need to
delete.  I don't think it's tar - I can go into my terminal window and
delete all the files I want with tar and it works perfectly; it just
seems to be file-roller.  Has anyone else experienced this?

[gentoo-user] media-tv/mythtv-0.24.1_p20110524 fails to emerge

[Michael Sullivan]

I seriously screwed up my system this week, and broke myth.  Now I'm
trying to emerge media-tv/mythtv-0.24.1_p20110524 since my old myth
version is no longer supported (the ebuilds aren't even still around).
The emerge goes along fine until it gets to this part:

mythrender_opengl.cpp: In function 'int __glCheck__(const QString,
const char*, int)':
mythrender_opengl.cpp:38: error: 'gluErrorString' was not declared in
this scope
make[2]: *** [mythrender_opengl.o] Error 1

Most of our TV watching is off Myth.  We only have one show that we
follow that's currently in season and that's on Monday, so I'd really
like to have this working by then.  Can anyone help me?

 Ok, so you're using an Intel graphics chipset, managed via the
 kernel's i915 module. According to Wikipedia, the 82915G, GV and GL
 models are circa 2004/2005, and so are very old. It's very possible
 you've encountered a regression. I had something similar happen a few
 years ago with my 845-based system.
 
 Unfortunately, I don't know where you should take this from here.
 

Thank you for your help.  Even if you haven't solved my problem, I know

[gentoo-user] OT - New kernel and now xv won't work with mplayer

First off, this has probably been discussed before, but I can't find it

I recently switched from a gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r8 kernel to a
gentoo-sources-3.2.1-r2 kernel.  A lot of my processes were freezing up
with a DL+ ps status and I read somewhere that uninterruptible sleep was
suspected to be the fault of the kernel.  I had 3.2.1-r2 source sitting
on my hard drive and I tried building it on my wife's computer and was
very happy with the results I saw there.  Her computer couldn't even run
emerge without going into state D+.  After booting with the 3.2.1-r2
kernel I had no problems running an emerge -uD world on it.  So far I am
very happy with 3.2.1-r2 on my PC except for one thing:  xv doesn't seem
to work anymore.   On my old kernel, and indeed every kernel I've run on
this computer since 2005 xv has worked.  I haven't changed any hardware
in this computer recently or ever.  When I run mplayer I see this in the
output:

[VO_XV] It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
[VO_XV] Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read
[VO_XV] DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#xv!
[VO_XV] See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers.
[VO_XV] Try -vo x11.
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.


I kept reading about xvinfo included in XFree86 distribution.  I use
xorg-x11.  I found out that xvinfo can be emerged.  I did so and it said
this:

X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
 no adaptors present


which shouldn't be right because I've been using xv with mplayer for
years.  I assumed then that it was a module problem somewhere.  I hadn't
run a qlist -I -C x11-drivers/ recently so I did and remerged all the
packages there.

My video card info from lspci -v:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL
Integrated Graphics Controller (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 5647

Kernel modules: i915

I can successfully modprobe the i915 module.  Everything that can be is
built with the xv USE flag on.  Is there anything else I
need to do to get my xv to work with mplayer?

[gentoo-user] Very OT - Displaylink adapter and setting up X

[Michael Sullivan]

I feel really stupid asking this, but I want to use an HDMI component to
output one of my PCs to the TV set.  I've followed all of the wiki entry
at http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/DisplayLink, but there's something else I
need to know.  I get the green screen on the TV that it mentions when
the kernel module is being loaded correctly.  The problem is that I use
gdm in /etc/conf.d/xdm DISPLAYMANAGER variable to start X, and I don't
know where the actual gdm configuration lives so I can tell it to use
~/.xinitrc2 from the wiki.  My google searching hasn't been going well.
 Can anybody give me any hints as to how to make progress on this problem?

[gentoo-user] Somewhat OT - Grandtech PC to TV component and X

[Michael Sullivan]

I recently bought a new Gradtec PC To TV component because my old Grand
Pro Ultimate XP that I bought in 2004 was on its last legs.  We used the
Ultimate XP so that we could use the living room TV as a monitor, so
that we could watch MythTV in the living room.  The Ultimate XP was
having a problem where after I logged into X the video would go all
screwy; it was all static-y and the top half of the video output would
appear at the top half of the screen and again at the bottom half.  I
dragged a real monitor in there and attached it to the end of the
external monitor plug on the component and everything displayed normally
on the monitor, but still screwy on the TV.  I bought a new component
and it's doing the same thing.  But it only does it in X.  This setup
worked fine until about a month ago.  I'm completely at a loss as to how
to fix this.  Here's my search for errors in /etc/Xorg.0.log:


carter log # grep EE Xorg.0.log
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
[42.372] (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER


Does anyone have any idea of what's going on?  It only happens in X;
it's fine until X loads...

I read on Google how one user was having trouble getting X to work with
her new monitor.  Another user suggested renaming xorg.conf (so it no
longer existed under that name.)  I tried it, and it worked.

I rebuilt my kernel and rebooted and everything is fine now.  I think
somehow some of my kernel modules are being overwritten.  I don't know
how, but rebuilding the kernel seems to fix it when it happens...

[gentoo-user] Mythtv problems 2.0: carter

[Michael Sullivan]

OK.  My recent Myth problems were on camille, which thankfully is now
working.  Originally, I was trying to move my Myth installation to
carter, which is a dedicated linux box.  I wanted to do this so that I
could dual boot into Windows XP on camille more often.  I've been
applying all the advice I've been getting to carter's installation and
everything works except for Watch TV.  Carter's TV card is Hauppage
HVR-1950 (pvrusb2).  I can get video with it (I have the /eev/vieo0
device node and I can get a file by mplayer /dev/video0).  I'm thinking
the card type in Capture Cards in mythtv-setup might be the problem.
Here is the output from mythbackend:

Segmentation fault


At first I thought that sometime that installed since Oct 12 was causing
the segfault, so I tried unmerging the 350+ packages that had installed
since then and listing them in package.mask, but that blew up in my face
because I don't know a command that forces portage to ignore masked
packages and install next-highest stable versions.  Please help me!

 Mythtv has worked on camille since I first installed it in 2005.  Mythtv
 worked the last time I started it (Oct 12), but I restarted it on the
 24th and it didn't.  When I start mythfrontend, the list of Upcoming
 Recordings is empty, when I go to Programme Finder it's empty, as is
 Program Guide.  Previously Recorded works fine, as are Current
 recordings but Watch TV doesn't - it says Please wait... for a long time
 and then drops me back at the menu screen.  Of course by this time
 mythfrontend is usually griping about not being connected to the
 backend.  I ran mythbackend at the terminal prompt to find out why.
 Here's what it said:

 OK, I haven't used Myth now in over a year so take this with a grain
 of salt. From the log file it appears that your client isn't
 connecting to the server which likely explains why you don't see the
 programs. I wonder if you've tested connecting to mythconverg manually
 via a terminal? Maybe something like /etc/my.cnf or one of the Myth
 config files got messed up in the update.
 
 Good luck,
 Mark
 

Mysql on camille is broken:

camille ~ # mysql -u root -p
mysql: unknown variable 'expire_logs_days=10'

I'll do some googling, but I think that sounds like a config file
directive.  I'll probably do a rebuild of mysql as well...

 It's too late for this problem, but I'd recommend installing dmerge. It
 takes a snapshot of what is installed after each emerge --sync, and lets
 you roll back to a previous time (assuming the ebuilds are still in the
 tree).
 
 

Is it a problem that I share my /usr/portage directory from another
machine through NFS?

I ran mythfilldatabase and redirected it to a file.  I don't know if
this list allows attachments or not, and it's probably too long to paste
here.  At the end though I saw something strange:

 Have you tried mysql_fix_privilege_tables? After that, you would need to run 
 the steps mentioned in the wiki again (I think), giving the password you 
 entered in myth-setup to the UPDATE command.

  How do I fix this?
 
 Is xmltv installed? Or do you use some other way to get listings?
 
 Best,

It's been so long (as I said at the beginning of this thread, my setup
has just worked since 2006.  I guess I do.  My log files say it
emerged this morning.  Is there any configuration I need to do on it?  I
didn't see any in the README file in /usr/share/doc/xmltv-0.5.50...

 I'll do some googling, but I think that sounds like a config file

 You should figure out why that setting is unknown. I suspect you didn't
 put it in the right place in your config. Also your drive will fill up
 with Mysql bin logs after serveral months with Mythtv without it working.

[gentoo-user] Need help with pvrusb2

[Michael Sullivan]

Hello.  I recently purchased a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR external TV card.
I'm trying to get it to work with Gentoo Linux.  I think I've followed
the steps found at
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1900 correctly,
but I'm still getting errors.  When I plug the TV card into the USB slot
in the back of the computer and search dmesg, it says:

I've emerged linuxtv-dvb-firmware and reissued the above command with no

 Try media-tv/ivtv-firmware. For some reason, that works better for me.
 And also media-tv/ivtv-utils.
 
 BTW: If your HVR behaves the same as my old PVR2, it can sometimes help
 to suspend and wake the system to get it working.
 

I suspended the system, but now I can't wake it up again!  I hit the
power button, and I heard a sound through the speakers similar to an
error sound.  I would say a barb sound, but I doubt any of you would be
able to make sense of it.  The only visual output of that computer is a
video output component going to the TV set.  I work on that computer
through ssh from another one in another room.  Should I just restart it
manually?  If not, how do I wake it up?

OK.  I restarted the computer.  (I have never suspended that computer
before and was unsure of what would happen, but I did not realize at the
time that my the game running on my wife's computer was using a samba
share that would be disrupted.)  I had no luck with ivtv-firmware, so I
have reinstalled linuxtv-dvb-firmware-2009.09.19.  Now the output of
dmesg has changed somewhat:

michael@carter ~ $ dmesg | grep -i pvr

I downloaded that file and rebooted and dmesg griped about another file

Speaking of which, isn't there an easier way to reload modules than
rebooting?  When I started using Gentoo in 2004, there was an
/etc/init.d/hotplug, which was replaced by /etc/init.d/coldplug, but
neither one seems to be present anymore on the system.  What service
loads modules on bootup now?

Re: [gentoo-user] Decrapifying my system

I don't know much about what each USE flag below actually does.  All of
them have been recommended to me by various elog messages and failed
attempts at emerge.  I'm trying to put all the flags emerge recommends
for a particular package in /etc/portage/package.use now.  Can any of
the below flags be changed to decrease the size of my system?

 I would recommend using emerge -p --depclean to see what can be yanked
 off automatically. since you have the gnome and kde-meta packages
 already uninstalled it should pull all the chunks out for you.

My /usr/portage is shared via NFS from another machine on the network,
so space there isn't really a problem.  Yet.  Anyway, I did an eclean
distfiles a couple of days ago, along with an eclean packages for all
three machines on the network...

Re: [gentoo-user] Decrapifying my system

[Michael Sullivan]

I don't understand how to use logrotate, but I'm pretty sure cron runs
it.  /var/lib/mysql was using 21G, so I think I can go in there (or at
least into the mysql client) and delete the databases that I myself have
created and am no longer using.  If I understood the command you
recommended it mounts / on /mnt/tmp and then du's it.  That's still
running, but isn't that the entire system?

 It's impossible to answer that without knowing what is on /. Is /var

What should I do about the *-bin files in /var/lib/mysql?  I've dropped

lot of files in there, and it's still 21G.  There are several files
there dated 2008 that are also on another computer.  How do I safely

I'm pretty sure those number don't add up to 21G. So why is it saying

# Dictionary can be used to store key=value lists. This is used by several

# dictionary server. The following dict block maps dictionary names to URIs

# proxy::name.

dict {
  #quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
  #expire = sqlite:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
}

# Most of the actual configuration gets included below. The filenames are
# first sorted by their ASCII value and parsed in that order. The
00-prefixes
# in filenames are intended to make it easier to understand the ordering.
!include conf.d/*.conf

# A config file can also tried to be included without giving an error if
# it's not found:
!include_try /etc/dovecot/local.conf

The dovecot server is on 192.168.2.2, and I am trying to connect from
192.168.2.3.  Please help!

 I do not know which dovecot version you had before,

 it was 1.x
 
 I remember updating from 1.x to 2.x was not so easy.
 etc-update did not help me, configurtion changed a lot.

I can't even figure out what port dovecot is running on.  I would assume
143 for IMAP, but telnetting to 192.168.2.2 dovecot does not greet me.
I can access the mail from the dovecot server from mutt in my terminal
window ssh'd over to that machine, but I need to be able to access it
from thunderbird, which can't even find the machine

I was able to reload an old dovecot.conf from backups and convert it to
the new dovecot format using the command I found at
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.0

It seems to be working now...

[gentoo-user] screensaver won't come on unless screen is locked

[Michael Sullivan]

Since my recent complete system and world rebuild after switching to a
new gcc profile, my screensaver does not come on.  It works perfectly if
the screen is locked, however it does not come on otherwise.  Please
help.  Some information I thought pertinent to my problem has been
pasted below:

camille ~ # emerge -pv gnome gnome-screensaver

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

in /etc/fstab are not automatically mounted.  I can mount them manually
with no errors.  Here's an example of one of my /etc/fstab files:

I can say at the command prompt:

[gentoo-user] Need Preferred Applications help

[Michael Sullivan]

A couple of weeks ago I switched my gcc profile over and rebuilt
everything with emerge -e system and emerge -e world.  Now, when I click
on a link in Evolution, seamonkey opens to a blank page instead of to
the link that I clicked on.  I'm using gnome-base/gnome-2.32.1.
Seamonkey is my preferred web browser, but I used to have the abiltiy to
supply other options (a.k.a. /usr/bin/seamonkey %s I think it was).  Now
I don't have that ability.  How can I get this back?  I'm getting very
tired of having to copy the link location and manually paste it into an
active seamonkey window...

  The same on both systems? The other one doesn't have v4 set?
 
 If one has no V4 you'll have to use V3, so add vers=3 to your mount options.
 

I rebuilt kernels on camille and catherine, enabling every NFS option I
could and now they both can use NFS from carter.  However, carter cannot
mount camille's /mnt/store:

carter ~ # mount camille:/mnt/store/ /mnt/store/
mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported

But, somehow, carter has access to all the recordings.  This happens
sometimes and I don't know why...

[gentoo-user] URGENT: nfs stopped working

[Michael Sullivan]

OK.  I recently switched my three computers (carter, camille, and
catherine) to the new gcc profile:  i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.5 from
i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.4.  As recommended, I performed emerge -e system
and then emerge -e world on all of them.  Carter finished his emerge -e
world a couple of days ago (he's faster than the others).  Camille and
catherine were a few hundred packages from the end of their emerge -e
world when the power went out.  Carter supplies daily
updated /usr/portage to camille and catherine via nfs, but when I
restarted the computers when the power came back on, I get this:

camille ~ # mount carter:/usr/portage /usr/portage/
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified

Am I not constructing my command correctly?

I have tried mount -t nfs and it still doesn't work.  I can ping carter
fine, and carter says nfs is running.  How do I get nfs back?

[gentoo-user] Flash versions

[Michael Sullivan]

I've got a conundrum here.  We just got my wife's computer back from the
shop today (in for a RAM upgrade) and she wants to play Farmville on her
computer, now that it's fast enough.  Farmville says that she needs to
upgrade her flash player.  I can play Farmville on my computer, so I'm
using it as a guide, but here's the thing:  My seamonkey says it has
Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102.  Her computer claims Shockwave Flash 6.0 r81.
We each have the same version of adobe-flash installed, with the exact
same USE flags.   We both use the same version of seamonkey.  So why is
my flash plugin version higher, and how can I get hers as high?

It outputs a lot of stuff.  More than my gnome-terminal buffer could

[gentoo-user] How to get /dev/cdrom

[Michael Sullivan]

OK, for several years I have not had a /dev/cdrom.  My workstation has
an internal cd-rom drive, which gets mapped to /dev/hda, and an external
DVD+R drive, which is mapped to /dev/sr0.  When I look
at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules I see:

LITE-ON_COMBO_SOHC-5236K is my internal drive, which SHOULD be mapped
to /dev/cdrom.  But it's not:

camille rules.d # ls /dev/cdrom
ls: cannot access /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory


Why is it not being mapped correctly?  Is the rule above not correct?
I've tried to read tutorials about writing udev rules, but the example
rules in the tutorials look nothing like the above rules, and I didn't
write those.  I think they were created when udev was installed...

 If you're using a recent kernel, it's probably udev which refuses to
 process devices under the old ATA driver.

 the final result is what you see, no /dev/{cdrom,cdrw,...} link)

  camille rules.d # ls /dev/cdrom
  ls: cannot access /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory
 
 Check also /dev/cdrom*. Maybe it got another name, as there are at least
 three rules to symlink that drive (if it matched all rules, udev would
 create the three links, but the third rule looks different).
 
  Why is it not being mapped correctly?  Is the rule above not correct?
  I've tried to read tutorials about writing udev rules, but the example

camille ~ # ls -l /dev/cdrom*
ls: cannot access /dev/cdrom*: No such file or directory


I need /dev/hda to be /dev/cdrom because I cannot use CD player programs
unless it has that name.  Of course, I can manually create a symlink
from /dev/cdrom to /dev/hda every time I reboot, but I shouldn't have to
do that...

 I guess you don't really have 6 optical drives installed? :)
 
 Some of those have -ide- in the device name, did you change form IDE
 to ATA kernel driver at some point (like most everyone else did)?
 Maybe that's why. New entries are generated for drives that don't
 match existing rules, which is probably why you see your SOHC-5236K
 down at cdrom5 as well...
 
 If you delete the file and reboot, it'll create a new one based on
 your currently-installed hardware config. Hopefully that'll solve it
 or at least clean up that file to the point where you can manage the
 changes more easily.
 

I deleted /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules and rebooted the
system.  The file is still gone, and still no /dev/cdrom:
camille ~ # ls /etc/udev/rules.d/
10-zaptel.rules   70-bluetooth.rules   70-libsane.rules
90-hal.rules   hsf.rules
30-svgalib.rules  70-libgphoto2.rules  70-persistent-net.rules
99-btnx.rules
camille ~ # ls /dev/cdrom*
ls: cannot access /dev/cdrom*: No such file or directory


What should I do now?

 I just went through this exact same problem, and it turned out that
 having both the old ATA drivers and the new libata drivers in my kernel
 at the same time was the root of the problem.  I had multiple drivers
 fighting for the same device, and it confused udev for some reason.  The
 end result was, udev never picked up that the IDE drive was actually a
 CD-ROM, so it never ran the udev rules to automatically regenerated
 70-persistent-cd.rules.
 
 The existing rules you have don't work because the ID_PATH isn't valid:
 
 ENV{ID_PATH}==pci-:00:1f.1-ide-0:0
 
 The -ide-0:0 part no longer shows up when you get the udev ID_PATH for
 a device using the old ATA drivers, so there are no matching udev rules
 to create the symlinks.
 
 I fixed it by switching over completely to libata, like this:
 
 1. Delete the 70-persistent-cd.rules file from /etc/udev.  (If
 everything is working correctly, udev will regenerate this file from
 scratch the next time you start it.)
 
 2. In your kernel config, under Device Drivers ---
 * Make sure that ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support is /not/ selected.
 * Enable Serial ATA and Parallel ATA
 * Under Serial ATA and Paralle ATA ---
 ** Enable ATA SFF support
 ** Below that, enable ATA BMDMA support[1]
 ** Below that, enable whatever IDE chipset you have
 
 3. Back under Device Drivers ---
 * Under SCSI device support ---
 ** Enable SCSI disk support
 ** Enable SCSI CDROM support
 ** /Do not/ enable SCSI Generic support[2]
 
 Build/install/reboot and you should now see your two CD drives appearing
 as sr0 and sr1.  udev should now pick them both up, and write a new
 70-persistent-cd.rules file, with the IDE drive having a different
 ID_PATH, something like:
 
 ENV{ID_PATH}==pci-:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:0:0
 
 And you should now get your symlinks.
 
 [1] BMDMA is the controller type in all of the machines I have, and
 seems to be the standard for most personal desktop/laptop/etc machines.
  If you know differently, of course, pick the correct SFF controller.
 
 [2] The SCSI generic driver has a habit of grabbing my other SCSI
 devices and assigning them to sg0/sg1/sg2/etc; this seemed to prevent
 udev from picking up that they were CD drives.  If you need SCSI Generic
 for some reason, I'd suggest making it a module.

I was still running linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r8.  I didn't even HAVE an
option for ATA SFF support.  I'm going to build a v2.6.36-gentoo-r5
kernel and pray that my ivtv stuff still works...

[Michael Sullivan]

I am now running Linux camille 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 kernel.  My ivtv drivers
don't work with this kernel.  The newest ivtv drivers in portage only
work on 2.6.25 kernels.  What should I do?

   netstat: no support for `AF X25' on this system.
   netstat: no support for `AF NETROM' on this system.
  
  
   I assume these are kernel options, but without knowing specific symbol
   names, I'm not sure how to compile them into the kernel.  Can anyone
   give me any advice on this situation?
 
  I think if you don't have support for those protocols the chances of a
  program using them is probably zero. :) FWIW i get the exact same
  messages. I don't think it is meaningful.
 
  I use a similar command (omitting all the unix sockets stuff): netstat
  -lnp --inet
 
  With regard to your original problem, try to edit the cvsd.conf and
  specify an actual IP address to listen on (instead of 0.0.0.0 or * or
  however it is defined there) and see if that helps.
 
 
  Now I've got the server running, but I can't connect to it:
 
  mich...@camille ~ $ cvs login
  Logging in to :pserver:mich...@carter.espersunited.com:2401/root
  CVS password:
  cvs [login aborted]: connect to
  carter.espersunited.com(192.168.1.2):2401 failed: Connection refused
 
 Hmm, does cvsd use inetd? maybe it needs to be added to allowed port
 list or something like that.
 
This line in the config file:

Listen 127.0.0.1  2401

needed to be changed to this:
Listen 192.168.1.2 2401

And now it works

 Each user on the Samba server has a password, but it isn't the same as

What's with the :192.168.1.3?  Camille's address IS 192.168.1.3, and
it seems to know that because it calls the host at the address
'camille'...

[gentoo-user] Need help with samba (Possibly OT)

[Michael Sullivan]

My personal workstation is a dual-boot setup with Gentoo and Windows XP.
A long time ago, I set up Samba on another computer on my network to
provide extra hard drive space to our Windows installations.  They used
to work, but we haven't used them in some time.  I tried to use it today
and it didn't work.  When I try to connect to the samba share from my
linux install, I get this:

mich...@camille ~ $ smbclient //carter//home
Enter michael's password: 
Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.6]

mich...@camille ~ $ smbclient //carter//michael 
Enter michael's password: 
Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.6]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

(The host name is carter, and I didn't understand what the second part
should be.)
Also, I didn't know if michael's password meant my password on my
local box, my password on the remote box, or some password I set up for
Samba forever ago...

Here's my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

I bought a brand new Linksys Wireless-N router a few months ago.  I

[gentoo-user] gphoto2 won't work

[Michael Sullivan]

I am trying to offload pictures from our digital camera (Kodeak
EasyShare CX7300) using the command gphoto2 -P [1].  This command has
worked for years to offload pictures from the camera.  Now, this command
gives me the output:

*** Error ***  
PTP Invalid Transaction ID

*** Error ***  
An error occurred in the io-library ('Unspecified error'): No error
description available
*** Error (-1: 'Unspecified error') ***   

For debugging messages, please use the --debug option.
Debugging messages may help finding a solution to your problem.
If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto
developer mailing list gphoto-de...@lists.sourceforge.net, please run
gphoto2 as follows:

env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt -P [1]

Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments.


I ran the above suggested command and got the my-logfile.txt file, but I
can't make sense of it.  It's a little too long to paste here.  Has
anyone else had this problem?  What additional steps should I go through
to find the solution to this problem.  I found a whole bunch of hits on
Google, but they didn't make much sense, and the ones that did didn't
help.  Here's some additional info:

I upgraded to mythtv-0.22_p23069.  Went through the whole song-and-dance
of repairing the database for the utf8 to latin1 thing, and now it's
finally back up.  Except for one tiny problem.  My G.A.N.T. theme is
gone.  I can't even select it as a theme.  Is there some way to get it
back?  I liked the plain gray background, the fact that I could tell at
a glance what was recording and what I had manually set not to record.
And the fact that a generic episode was easily distinguished from a
specific episode (I usually manually set generic episodes not to record,
but now I have to take extra time to find each episode and check that
it's not generic.  :(  I'm also not happy that they changed the order of
options.

[gentoo-user] Need help discovering what's using a port (for cvsd)

[Michael Sullivan]

A few years ago I was working on a programming project.  I installed a
cvsd server on our server box and checked in/checked out the project
whenever I felt like working on it (it would have gotten majorly screwed
up if the only copy of the project lived on my personal workstation -
hence using cvsd).  Anyway, I got busy with other things and forgot
about that particular programming project.  At some point over the last
few years, cvsd got unmerged.  I remerged it today and have been trying
to get it to work.  I checked the repository directory and the files I
need are still there.  I can't get the server to start.  I tried
running /etc/init.d/cvsd start and it failed with the [!!] thing.  I
catted the script and saw that the executable for the cvsd server lives
at /usr/sbin/cvsd, so I tried calling it directly:
carter log # /usr/sbin/cvsd --debug
cvsd: debug: reading config file (/etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf)
cvsd: debug: done reading config file

carter log # netstat -anp | grep 2401
carter log # 

Nothing.  I hope I'm using the netstat command correctly.  I wrote in to
a linux list years ago asking how to find out which process is using a
port, and they said to grep `netstat -anp` for whatever port I was
looking for.  Anyway, when I ran netstat -anpv, I got some errors:

netstat: no support for `AF IPX' on this system.
netstat: no support for `AF AX25' on this system.
netstat: no support for `AF X25' on this system.
netstat: no support for `AF NETROM' on this system.


I assume these are kernel options, but without knowing specific symbol
names, I'm not sure how to compile them into the kernel.  Can anyone
give me any advice on this situation?

 With regard to your original problem, try to edit the cvsd.conf and
 specify an actual IP address to listen on (instead of 0.0.0.0 or * or
 however it is defined there) and see if that helps.
 

Now I've got the server running, but I can't connect to it:

   If you use ACPI then there is probably no need in having APM daemon
   installed. Add -t to your emerge command and check what package depends
   on apmd.

 If you have acpi you do not need to use apm. Unless you have weird hardware.

 If the package pulling in powermgmt-base isn't necessary for anything you  
 know of then add it to package.mask
 

I changed USE in /etc/make.conf to -apm and did an emerge -ND world and
the block is resolved.  I think the apm flag got added to solve an X
problem years ago, but I guess we'll find out the next time the computer
is rebooted...

[Michael Sullivan]

I was hoping that this was a dev boo-boo and would work itself out in
time, but it's been several days and it hasn't, so the problem must be
on my end.  See the following listing:

As you can see powermgmt-base is on the emerge list, as is pm-utils.  I
installed kde-meta because my mother-in-law is visiting and she likes
kpatience and it didn't work anymore with kde-3.5.  Now, how do I
resolve this block?

OK here goes.  I built the new kernel because with the old one /dev/sda

 I would try booting the machine without the USB swap disk and then
 hotplug it when the machine is already running.  What does dmesg say

 were printed in response to the newly connected drive.


I rebooted the machine with the drive unplugged and ran dmesg:

I guess I should have checked before I sent that last post because
now /dev/sda is there.  Now, how do I make it be there when I first boot
into Linux?

I don't know if I just don't have the right drivers loaded or installed
or what, but this is a problem.  My mother-in-law is coming today and
she's the type of person who will be scared off if something doesn't
work right.  We don't want her scared off.  She's a Windows user, so
this is kind of a big deal for us.  Thank you for your help.  Please let
me know if there's any other information you need in order to help me...

  Hello
  
  My wife's computer is pretty slow, so I've attached and old hard drive
  into a hard drive enclosure and hooked it into her USB port for
  additional swap space.  It used to work.  The swap space is supposed to
  be /dev/sda1.  The problem is that for some reason when I rebooted this
  morning with a new kernel, /dev/sda does not exist anymore.  I'm at a
  lost as to what to do now.  Here's dmesg, or at least the parts
  portaining to usb devices:
 
 does it make a difference if you disable CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND, which can be 
 done 
 by reloading the module usbcore with the option autosuspend=-1 ?
 

catherine dev # modprobe usbcore autosuspend=-1
catherine dev # ls /dev/sda1
ls: cannot access /dev/sda1: No such file or directory



Did I do this right?

 If MythTV can't find your TV card, it can't record from it and gives the
 slightly ambiguous message about no programs to record. It is true,
 because without a configured input, it won't record any programs.
 
 

I build kernel 2.6.30-r10 and booted with it and Myth seems to work fine
now...

[gentoo-user] udev (probably)

[Michael Sullivan]

I've been working all day rearranging furniture in my apartment.  I got
the my computer to its new spot and hooked everything up and booted and
I saw a message that said something about some kernel option that was
turned on that shouldn't be, and that udev might not work.  When I got
logged in, I found that Mythtv was all screwed up and that it said I
didn't have any programs set to record.  LiveTV didn't work at all.  My
tv card (dev/video0); ls says it's there, but cat says it's not.  When I
used /etc/init.d/udev I got a message saying that the udev initscript
only works with baselayout 2 and that I shouldn't use it with baselayout
1.  I didn't even know I was using baselayout 1!  Anyway, is there a
way, after I've booted the computer, to access those messages shown at
startup?

I found it in /var/log/messages.  It said:

Nov 23 15:37:07 camille kernel: udev: missing sysfs features; please
update the kernel or disable the kernel's CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
option; udev may fail to work correctly

I'm rebuilding the kernel with that option disabled, but in the meantime
why did Mythtv forget my programs set to record?  I checked that mysql
is running, and it is, I checked mythbacked.  The only discrepancy I can
