Don't use genkernel. I use a self-made initramfs, compiled into the kernel 
directly.

I can sent you my scripts for creating the initramfs.

You could use the postup(0 function in /etc/conf.d/net to shutdown the
DHCP server if you are connected to the home network.

[gentoo-user] problem of installing reiser4

2006-12-11 Thread Chuanwen Wu

Hi,guys!
I tried to install reiser4,but it seems failed.
My kernel is 2.6.19-gentoo-r1.I download  2.6.19-rc1-mm1.bz2,and then
tar jxvf ,and a file called  2.6.19-rc1-mm1 came out.
Then i enter the kernel source tree,and :

linux# patch -p1 < /tmp/2.6.19-rc1-mm1
The next patch would create the file .mm,
which already exists!  Assume -R? [n] y
patching file .mm
patching file CREDITS
patching file Documentation/00-INDEX
The next patch would create the file Documentation/ABI/testing/cfag12864b,
which already exists!  Assume -R? [n]
……
……

There were so many warnings.
I think it's not right as I know there should not be any warning if it succeed.

But which step I did above is wrong?Is it because the
patch"2.6.19-rc1-mm1.bz2" doesn't match my kernel ?

I upgraded gnome on my wife's computer today.  Now she can't lock her

catherine ~ # emerge -pv gnome-screensaver

Calculating dependencies... done!

When we tried to run gnome-screensaver from the terminal, we get this:

emerge -C pygtk then do a emerge -uvD world.  Add in a -p if you need to.

That worked for me last night.  It actually installs a newer version of

It's really pretty unusual to make avis that large. Are you using XviD? 
There is a maximum quality you can achieve with each codec. With 4.7 GB

Hi all,

I've found that at some point, ifconfig has not been listing my aliases
correctly either.  I haven't changed /etc/conf.d/net for a long time,
and yet I only see eth0 when I run ifconfig, and not eth0:1 (which is
also created from /etc/conf.d/net)

However, if I run ifconfig eth0:1 from the command line, then ifconfig
displays it, so I don't know what's going on and why it's changed...

Looks like you've already done the hard yards in searching bgo.  If you
can't find the bug, then chances are it doesn't exist there yet.

If you make a new bug, and provide the patches and upstream bug links,
then either it'll be accepted, or marked as a duplicate of the bug you
couldn't find.  In either case it's worth it to get the problem
resolved, IMHO.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Specifying file size in dvd::rip

2006-12-11 Thread Mick
I am trying out dvd::rip as kindly suggested in this mailing list, but cannot 
find a way of specifying the target file size.  When I fill in 4700MB in the 
Transcode tab (under target size) it is invariably ignored and I get only 
2.2-3.5G avi file sizes out of the whole process.  In this way I end up with 
half empty DVDs (I want to save the avi file onto a 4.7G DVD) which lack 
colour detail - it's difficult to explain but grey or dark colours create a 
silvery/shadowing effect.

How do you set dvd::rip to end up with a 16:9 aspect avi file taking up close

It won't work because the Screen section below specifies only one screen 
Screen 0.  You need to also setup Screen 1 with the required resolution, 
otherwise the resolution of your monitor would be replicated at the second

Hello Iain,

IT's a shot in the dark, but, you might want to check for a newer
bios release from the mobo vendor. I have a MSI K9A platinum that
has been giving me fits on sata, ide and ethernet issues. My research
has reveal a similar problem, all related to bios upgrade.

Although we are fed the line 'linux does not use the PC bios'
is actually does for initialzations. More and more, I'm finding
examples of linux droping the ball on parameters found in 
bios (nvram) (video ram for example).


http://www.msicomputer.com/support/bios
http://www.msicomputer.com/support/bios_result.asp

I think you have to perform the bios upgrade using a 
boot floppy, from the XP side. After you look at the
howto, for ntfs file systems, drop me a line.
The bios upgrade docs they (msi) provide, seem to be
written by ami/award for every form of generic windoz
machines from 95 to XP.. generic is nice way
to describe these docs.

It's hard for me to believe that mobo vendors make it
so convoluted to upgrade the bios.

Well, it is a design flaw to have 3 addresses in overaping networks. From what 
I recall you may use only one non /32 address in a network. If the 
requirement is not met, problems arise:

Problem: You want to broadcast to 192.168.1.255.
Question: From which of these addresses should it origin?

Problem: Someone else broadcasts to 192.168.1.255.
Question: Which of these addresses should catch it? One? All?


I was taught that configurations of multiple-ip-per-net should look like:

 config_eth0=( "192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
   "192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.255"
   "192.168.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.255"
 )

Only the first has a regular mask (and therefore is source and target for

Just commenting out the local server ( the line that looks something
like '0=Standard') doesn't work?

I used to set up gdm that way some time ago and  I don't really remember
now, but I think commenting it out was enough...

I used gdm for xdmcp connections and kdm for the local server ;-) to
have the ability to start/stop them independently

[gentoo-user] avoiding pdf print restrictions

2006-12-11 Thread James
Hello,

I need to print a pdf file, that is not cooperative.

I've read that gmail works, but is there something else
readily available in portage?

I use mozilla for everything so an application that does
not disturb mozilla is most desirable.

ideas?

The (-firefox%) in Epiphany's USE flags indicates that this flag is no
longer used by the ebuild. The firefox dependency is no longer options,
Epiphany needs Firefox, apparently for the Gecko rendering engine.

[gentoo-user] Bandwidth Limiting with Mod_BW and Apache2

2006-12-11 Thread Jayson Smith
Hi there,
For a while now I've been using Mod_BW to limit bandwidth for a directory on
my website.  We have a residential ADSL line, and some files I'm hosting are
somewhat popular, leading to bandwidth usage and Internet slowness for the
rest of the household.  The bandwidth limiting for one directory is working
but not for another directory.  In this file, dectalk is being limited but
lchoice isn't.  Any idea why?
Here is the config file 11_mod_bw.conf in /etc/apache/modules.d
Jayson.


  
LoadModule bw_module modules/mod_bw.so
  



  # This must be turned on for mod_bandwidth to actually do anything
  # These directives can go inside a VirtualHost or Directory, etc...
  #

[gentoo-user] DPMS Not Working on i810

2006-12-11 Thread Randy Barlow
DPMS used to work just find on my laptop in X 6.8-7.0, but when I

relevant sections of my xorg.conf to see if anyone has any hints:

Section "ServerLayout"

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: wlan0 is sssloooow [100% SOLVED]

2006-12-11 Thread Sergio Polini
Yes, it was OT and very few of you are interested ;-)
However, somebody would like to know who the killer was.

The original subject was "wlan0 is ssslw [99% SOLVED]" because  
pinging the Belkin F5D7230-4 wireless router worked from Windows but 
not from Linux.
The answer is: because Windows sends ICMP messages with 32 bytes of 
data, Linux sends them with 56 bytes of data.
Moreover, Linux IP datagrams have the DF (don't fragment) bit set, 
Windows ones have not.
On Linux, ping -s 15 192.168.2.2 works.

Re: [gentoo-user] ifconfig -> SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

2006-12-11 Thread Leandro Melo de Sales

Well, I solve the problem as follows:

config_eth0=( "192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
   "192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 label eth0:1"
   "192.168.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 label eth0:2"

... and I think that ifconfig can assign more than one ip for a net
interface.

1) Something you updated broke it.
2) An updated program requires an updated config but you haven't run
   etc-update/dispatch-conf.
3) You did run etc-update and overwrote a working config with a generic
   file.

Without knowing what you updated with your emerge -u world, it is
difficult to make more specific suggestions. Use genlop (or qlop) to see
which packages were installed by the world update and tell us whether you
ran etc-update/dispatch-conf.

Hi list,

# ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.3

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

My /etc/conf.d/net is correct:

config_eth0=( "192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
 "192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"

)
routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.1.1" )

When I start /etc/init.d/net.eth0 (which is a sym link to net.lo) everything
seems to be ok, but when I type ifconfig I can see just eth0 interface. So,
I tried to execute the ifconfig command listen above but I got that error.
What is wrong?

I have recently made some plans out of my ideas about the bugday
project. They have ended up in a forum thread[1] in the userrep forum.
Feel free to comment on it or contact me directly or any of my team
members if you have any questions about this. We are hanging around in
#Gentoo-Bugs on Freenode.

There has happened some minor chances in the bugday team. Kloeri
announced that I had taken over control and after that I added two new
members to my little team.  We have got Stephen Bennet (spb) and Peter
Weller (welp) as our new team members. Welcome to both of you ;)

Stephen is going to help our users with ideas about how to fix different
kind of bugs and Peter is going to take care of arranging the events
together with me. Which means he will have to contact our userreps and
our upcoming bugday helpers from time to time.

I have also created a bug[2] on bugzilla, which is going to be used by
YOU people. I would be really happy if when you had something you would
think our users would be able to help fixing, then post the bugid to
that bug and I will update our website[3] so the users will be able to
see it at our next bugdays.

Next bugday will be on the 6'th of January 2007.

Best regards,
Alex

IN /etc/X11/xorg.conf   look that the file. Near the bottom,
you'll find a  screen section:


Section "Screen"
Identifier  "Screen0"
Device  "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"

SubSection "Display"
Depth   1
Modes  "1440x900" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth   4
Modes "1440x900" "1024x768"
EndSubSection


You may have to revisit some of your drivers in your kernel, depending
on how your kernel is configured, but may not also.

I'd save an old copy of anything you modify, so as to make
recovery from mistakes, easy

[gentoo-user] EVMS root partition and udev, anyone?

2006-12-11 Thread Kevin Hanson
Has anyone gotten their system to boot with an evms root volume on a 
purely udev system?  If so, can you tell me how you did it.


The problem I am having is the initrd from the evms site expects a 
kernel that understands devfs.  The problem I'm having with genkernel 
--evms2 is that it complains that it cannot find /dev/evms/root.  When I 
drop into the shell from this point, there is nothing except /dev/evms/dm.


When I boot with livecd and run evms_activate...all my /dev/evms/root,  
boot, home, usr, etc show up.


I have scoured the web and I am at a loss.  I really want to use evms, 
but it looks like I'm going to have to punt on this.


Cheers,
Kevin

Whoa! I typed too soon. It doesn't work if I enter $

through the list without a sound. Ctrl-C kicks me out.
However $gmplayer -playlist myplaylist.pla works. 

BTW, what's this .mplayer/gui.pl? How did it get
written? I never knowingly did it. And when I point
gmplayer at it it scrolls like mplayer did but ctrl-c
causes it to crash. Now there's black gmplayer shaped

work.

I'm not sure about that.
Are you sure that it's really ata_piix causing the delay? I'm asking
because I've seen similar delays, but they were due to pata_legacy
(also a libata driver). Is ata_piix the only libata driver you've
compiled? I guess you've been using it for SATA HDs and your DVD is
PATA, correct? libata should work fine with that DVD drive, too. Your
BIOS uses combined or enhanced mode for SATA/PATA integration without
overlaps, I guess?

[gentoo-user] nautilus 2.16.3 never/always shows backup files

2006-12-11 Thread Markus Schönhaber
Hi there!

In nautilus 2.16.3, backup files (files with names that end with a '~' 
character) are never shown in file browser mode if
"File management preferences / Views / Show hidden and backup files"
is unchecked, i. e. toggling "View / Show Hidden Files" toggles the display of 
dotfiles but backup files are always hidden.
With
"File management preferences / Views / Show hidden and backup files"
checked, this is reversed, i. e. backup files are always shown - idependent of 
the setting of "View / Show Hidden Files".

I found those in Gnome's bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327361
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335315
and this in Ubuntu's launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/5326
but I didn't find a report in Gentoo's bugzilla.
The patch
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=72108&action=view
referenced from the Gnome bug #327361 solves the problem for me.

Is this really an unknown bug wrt Gentoo or did I simply overlook the 
corresponding report?

Regards
  mks

-k, --keep-going
 Continue as much as possible after an error.  While the

other dependencies of these targets can be processed all the same.


Hi,

you can try something like this :

in your .bashrc, add :

skipmerge(){
emerge --resume --skipfirst || skipmerge
}


then source your bashrc and try : emerge -auvDN world || skipmerge

that should work.

regards,

Boris.



It would be particularly useful when emerging "world", "system" or

emerge -uvt world || while ! emerge --resume --skipfirst ; do echo "next..."; 
done

or something like this, might do the job.

On the other hand if you want to *always* run a second screen (projector, 
monitor, etc) with a different resolution you need to set it in our xorg.conf 
by defining another screen in the appropriate sections.  Have a look at the 
man pages and wiki:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Dell_Latitude_X1_Appendices

and if that doesn't help I remember reading an xorg.conf in google - but I am  
not sure of the link.

You could use the postup(0 function in /etc/conf.d/net to shutdown the
DHCP server if you are connected to the home network.

According to the openssl ebuild, after you emerge openssl you will need to 
run:

# revdep-rebuild --library libssl.so.0.9.6
# revdep-rebuild --library libcrypto.so.0.9.6

before you can delete /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6 
and /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6.

Not sure if this is related to your error.

Your resolution. Few projectors go beyond 1024x768. Some (older) ones won't go 
higher than 800x600. 

You might need to change a BIOS setting. Some laptops put out both video 
signals simultaneously (built-in screen and external VGA). With some of them, 
you have to tell your BIOS which one to use.
