Kb layout switch in session unlock screen

When kde session locks on timeout

[gentoo-user] hotplug permissions xsane

2005-07-17 Thread Dave S

Hello all,

My scanner was working OK till I did a 'emerge -uDv world'. xsane now
picks up my logitech webcam instead of my scanner and does not see my
scanner.

In root xsane sees both devices, asks me which one to use and all is OK,
so its a permissions problem.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Resize of a reiser4 filesystem?

2005-07-17 Thread Alexander Skwar

Hello!

I'd looking for a way to resize my reiser4 filesystems.
Best would be an online option (ie. one, that does
not require an unmount of the fs).

In older packages, I found a man page for a resize_reiser4
tool (not sure about the name). Even this manpage is gone
in sys-fs/reiser4progs-1.0.4, which I've got currently
installed.

If there's no online way, an offline way would be
appreciated as well.

Thanks a lot,

Alexander Skwar

I'm no network guru (by a long shot), but afaik, and ime (my PC is
connected to a router with inbuilt modem), shutting down one PC should
not affect the connection for others, because 1) DSL is always on, and
2) your router should be directly connected to the DSL modem, thus
unless your PC is turning the modem or the router off somehow (either of
which would break the connection), the router should be able to ...
route... the Internet connection for the other PCs on the network to the
modem. Bringing down eth0 (turning off your PC), should just remove you
from the network. That's the whole point of having a router (at least
for me; it was driving me nuts that I had no connection whenever my
Windows-using bf had to reboot for whatever reason, when we were stuck
with software routing through his PC. Now he can have all the BSODs he
can stand, and I just continue surfing/emerging/emailing happily,
because the routing is handled by a separate piece of hardware that is
not affected by the status of our individual PCs).

Is this a recent problem, or has it always been like this? Is this a
new setup (new equipment, change of ISP/level of membership/type of
membership), or has nothing changed recently?

HTH,
Holly

 I tried all of your suggestions, without success. See inline comments:
 
 Note device and monitor section of xorg.conf at end:
 
 I've had one further idea. I have a 4-port kvm switch (Cybex), it has
 never interferred with anything in the past four or five years. Wonder
 if. . . , maybe that could be having an effect.  
 
 One other thought. In full screen, ever other line is black, giving
 the awful looking screen. Couldn't that have something to do with
 interlacing?? Wish I understood all of this better.
 
 Oh, one more thing.  Modelines can be an issue, but only if VMWare and X 
 are running at different resolutions or color depths.  For example, my 
 normal laptop resolution is 1600x1200.  If I go fullscreen VMWare at 
 1600x1200 or 1280x1024, everything works normally.  However there is 
 also a 1400x1050 mode in XP, but my hardware doesn't seem to support 
 that resolution, so if I try to go fullscreen, I get a resolution that 
 results in a corrupted display for the right 1/3 of the screen.
 
 So it is possible that a particular modeline could fix that issue for 
 me, and may be related to why you had to specify modelines previously.  
 But if the resolution and depth are the same, then the same modeline 
 should apply whether VMWare is fullscreen or not, AFAIK.
 
I finally solved the mystery. I copied the modelines generated by the
Knoppix 3.6 CD for this monitor into the Monitor section of xorg.conf,
and, voila!!, the full screen issues disappeared. Vmware now works
like a charm. Maybe it will do something for my mplayer/mythtv issues.

Thanks, Richard, for your ideas. They helped me narrow down the
potential problems, and eventually solve the problem itself.

This should interfere with your xDSL connection, afaik. I would guess
that the xDSL connection is timing out.  My router has options that
tell it to create the connection on requirement or to keep it up all
the time.  Perhaps fiddling with any similar settings will solve the

I've seen the same or similar error to this-- but only when the
following conditions are met:

1) When using the livecd-2005.0 theme (I've installed the livecd-2005.1
theme, but haven't tried it yet)

2) in verbose mode (in silent mode, I get a kernel panic).

The cause seems to be that the livecd-2005.0 theme is not complete (no
8bpp images), and while I could probably convert copies of the existing
images to 8bpp so that the config would find the images it's looking
for, I really can't be bothered to do so atm.

Emergence works fine (mostly; slight graphical corruption, possibly due
to my ATI card) in both silent and verbose modes. Too bad I don't really
like Emergence, but at least it has a matching GDM theme-- which is more
than can be said for the livecd themes-- so my boot process has at least
a consistent look (if not one I'm most fond of).

What version of splashutils, and kernel are you using, and what splash
theme?

HTH,

So I decide to downgrade glibc first, but it did not help. Then I downgrade

I'm stuck now. I don't believe that rebuild of whole system (without

toolchain then you can borrow the toolchain from a livecd to rebuild gcc, 
binutils, and libtool.

Hello all,

My scanner was working OK till I did a 'emerge -uDv world'. xsane now
picks up my logitech webcam instead of my scanner and does not see my

In root xsane sees both devices, asks me which one to use and all is OK,
so its a permissions problem.

Everything works AOK and I can scan. However unplugging  plugging in
scanners every time the machine starts is a pain.

Hotplug is started on bootup ...





vanda_comp 001 # rc-update add hotplug default
 * hotplug already installed in runlevel default; skipping
vanda_comp 001 #




but does not seem to setup my scanner. I also found that just ...

does not setup my scanner, I do have to unplug  plug it in.

Any suggestions as to where to go

Sounds like it could be a security constraint.  A locked screen shouldn't allow

Check your kernel config and see if you've used vesafb-tng. Also, set

Great!  Actually, I meant to say stage3 instead of livecd.  You can chroot into 
a stage3 and use quickpkg to make binary packages out of anything you need 
(glibc, gcc, etc..).  Then install those binary packages on your broken system.

Well, /dev/sound belongs to the deprecated oss api so you need to enable oss

Hi Zac,

The problem is it used to be working.
And the widget to switch kb layouts is still there.

And yep. The damn password is all ascii. Too bad.
I've just found this is not the only problem I'm having
with i18n in kde. For some reason I can't switch encodings in
kde editors either.
I should mention this happened after massive system cleanup.
Removed gnome and a bunch of multimedia soft I didn't need any more.
Followed by usual depcleans and revdep-rebuilds.
Didn't find any inconsistences in installed ebuilds though.

In older packages, I found a man page for a resize_reiser4

I think I can reproduce your problem. I used kcontrol to add another keyboard layout under

[gentoo-user] make dev / udev question (1394 related)

Hi there,
   When I emerged libraw1394 it tells me there is no /dev/raw1394 device:


Required /dev/raw1394 device file not found.
Run 'make dev' to create it.


which is correct:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls /dev/raw1394
ls: /dev/raw1394: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $

Question is how should that be created on a udev only system? The
Linux1394 web site gives this set of commands:

# Compile libraw1394:
cd /where/you/downloaded/libraw1394
tar xvfz libraw1394-1.1.0.tar.gz
cd libraw1394-1.1.0
./configure
make
make install
# Create the raw device (/dev/raw1394):
make dev
# Reboot:
shutdown -r now 

which would have made the device. Is the fact that the device isn't
created a problem with the ebuild? Even if it was, how should this
really be created for a udev system? A rule somewhere in some
udev.conf file?

Thanks,
Mark

Dynamic dev filesystems (devfs and udev) do what they say on the tin, creating 
device nodes dynamically.
The warning will be being generated by the package, not the ebuild.

Load the module and see what happens.

What's throwing me is that the libraw1394 emerge makes this limited complaint:

It seems to me that if the device was moved by either udev or the
Gentoo developers then shouldn't this package have been modified to
understand that and not throw a message like this? Or is there
possibly supposed to be a link of some type from /dev/raw1394 to
/dev/raw/raw1394?

Or is my device not the same as yours?

  The warning will be being generated by the package, not the ebuild.

 Its a kernel bug which is fixed in 2.6.12. If you upgrade, it will start

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Can't unlock session in KDE 3.4

 Kb layout switch in session unlock screen
 doesn't work for me after upgrade to kde 3.4
 When kde session locks on timeout
 and the keyboard happens to be left in non-english layout
 I can't switch it back to en and have to kill X
 to get things back to normal.
 This only happens when unlocking a session
 and works well inside kde.
 Any ideas?

 Sounds like it could be a security constraint.  A locked screen
 shouldn't allow much more than password input.  You can't input the
 password with the non-en layout? Too bad :-(.


 That doesn't sound optimistic. Does it?
 The problem is it used to be working.
 And the widget to switch kb layouts is still there.
 But it doesn't work as expected.
 And yep. The damn password is all ascii. Too bad.

 I wasn't aware that such a widget existed.  If I knew how to make the
 widget appear and switch keyboard layouts then I would gladly test it
 for you on my end.

 Thanks. Would be good if you have time for this.
 I think you have to add an extra kb layout for the widget to show up
 in session unlock screen. I'm using en_US and ru.
 
 I think I can reproduce your problem.  I used kcontrol to add another
 keyboard layout under Regional  Accesibility and the keyboard layout
 widget now appears when the the screen is locked.  When I click the
 widget it's text changes to err.  It seems to be a bug in
 kde-base/kscreensaver-3.4.1 because the system tray widget works fine.

Thanks a lot Zac,
I'm not using split ebuilds so this seems to be a kde bug indeed.
I've filed a bug report to kde.org. Bug ID #109234.
It's real annoying and hopefully will be fixed soon enough.

Daniel,
   So I'm probably doing something wrong (as usual...no comments...)
;-) but the device having moved seems to break 1394commander:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ 1394commander

Copyright (C) 2002-2004 by Manfred Weihs [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This software comes with absolutely no warranty.

No adapter specified!
couldn't get handle: No such file or directory
This probably means that you don't have raw1394 support in the kernel or that
you haven't loaded the raw1394 module.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $

Granted I've not used this program in quite awhile, but I think it
used to work under Gentoo. I'm guessing that it's hard wired to look
for /dev/raw1394, but that's just a guess.

thanks,
Mark

What's throwing me is that the libraw1394 emerge makes this limited complaint:


Required /dev/raw1394 device file not found.
Run 'make dev' to create it.



This is more suited for the old-style 'static' /dev, where /dev was just a 
load of device nodes stored on disk.


With more modern solutions (devfs/udev), you don't ever have to worry about 
creating device nodes, they are created automatically when the appropriate 
driver is loaded. Its safe to ignore this warning on Gentoo.



It seems to me that if the device was moved by either udev or the
Gentoo developers then shouldn't this package have been modified to
understand that and not throw a message like this? Or is there
possibly supposed to be a link of some type from /dev/raw1394 to
/dev/raw/raw1394?


I forgot about this one. This is a udev rule problem, which is supposed to 
deal with other raw devices, but not raw1394. It's been fixed for future udev 
versions, but for now, you can do this:


# echo 'KERNEL=raw1394, SYMLINK=%k'  /etc/udev/rules.d/10-raw1394.rules

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Resize of a reiser4 filesystem?

2005-07-17 Thread Sean Johnson

 AFAIK, and according to the README in the reiser4progs, Reiser  Co have
 not gotten around to implementing the resizer for reiser4.
 
 So, for an 'offline' option, backup, resize, reformat, restore
 

Since practically all my partitions are LVM, not being able to resize
really takes reiserfs4 out of the running for me. Of course, by the
time a resizer is available, a significant number of bugs should have
also been worked out, and perhaps it will even be included in the
mainline kernel.

[gentoo-user] [OT]Throttling/Restricting download speeds

2005-07-17 Thread agl

Hi all,
Here in Australia the internet access plan I have is capped at 12GB
downloads/month during peak hours and then an additional 24GB/month during
offpeak hours, ie 2am - 9am. Rather than sit up until 2am to kick off a
download, I was wondering if it was possible to somehow throttle a connection,
or even a port, so that I could kick off the down load at say 11pm with the
connection throttled to only a few KB/s and then at say 2am, a cron job will
unthrottle it back to its full speed hence making most use of the offpeak time.
I'm currently using gshield on top of iptables as my firewall.

  Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT]Throttling/Restricting download speeds

2005-07-17 Thread William Kenworthy

Checkout the QOS modules in the kernel and the iproute package.  There's
plenty of examples on the net as well as mailing lists and bundled
scripts that will serve as a base for what you want to do.

Also rsync and wget have bandwidth limiting options that may be
easier/more suitable for what you want to do. As with everything that
looks good, QOS has some undesirable effects on gross throughput and the
smoothness of traffic flow so it doesnt suit everyone. I dont think you
can dynamicly alter the rate of wget or rsync, but killing the process
and resuming with new parameters  a minute or so later via an at or
cron job is easy.

I am in OZ and found that with iinet, one has to always be aware of the
dynamic change of ADSL rates that occur.  Currently I am on 960/7616
up/down and it does go randomly go up or down.  In the worst case you
could be limiting at a ceiling of 512k when you have ~8M+ available
(with QOS you need to set a ceiling rate equal to whats available) Never
did find a reliable way around that, but I have since dropped QOS as
with these rates it just isn't needed on a home system.

[gentoo-user] Resizing ext3 and burning cds...

Hi guys, does anyone know any way to resize a ext3 partition? i'm trying
QTparted (parted) and i can't... when i try with qtparted it just does
not let me resize it, and with parted (text mode) it complains:

br ~ # parted /dev/hdb resize 1
Start?  [32kB]?  
End?  [80GB]? 70GB   
Error: File system was not cleanly unmounted!  You should run e2fsck.

an unclean file system could cause severe corruption.
Ignore/Cancel? Ignore
Error: File system has an incompatible feature enabled.  
Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.



Note that the partition is umounted...



My other problem is with my cd-writer, i can open (read) any cd with
that... but when i try to burn (with k3b) i cant (it finds my device OK)
but when i try to burn it just display : writing, but the bar dont move
(the cd-writer starts to work), even i check the option SIMULATE, it
does not work


Does anyone knows what should i do ?

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT]Throttling/Restricting download speeds

2005-07-17 Thread Nick Rout

wget has a throttling option --limit-rate

how about :

1. keep a file containing the urls of the files you want to download. 
(dllist)

2. start them at whatever time like:

wget --limit-rate=5k -i dllist

3. use at to run a script at 2.00 am which kills wget and restarts it
with no limit-rate option, the -c flag (to continue downloads) and the
same file list.

So, did you try e2fsck or not?  No errors?

You can also use ext2resize but it only resizes the filesystem.  You would need 
to use fdisk or something to change the partition table.

There's probably a tab or button you can click to see a log of the cdrecord 
output (cdrecord is the program that really does the burning).  You need that 
in order to troubleshoot this.

Are you trying Gensplash or Bootsplash?

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Resize of a reiser4 filesystem?


Sean Johnson wrote:


AFAIK, and according to the README in the reiser4progs, Reiser  Co have
not gotten around to implementing the resizer for reiser4.

So, for an 'offline' option, backup, resize, reformat, restore

   



Since practically all my partitions are LVM, not being able to resize
really takes reiserfs4 out of the running for me. Of course, by the
time a resizer is available, a significant number of bugs should have
also been worked out, and perhaps it will even be included in the
mainline kernel.
 



Yes, I'm looking forward to the repacker.

I've tried to follow a couple of recent lkml threads on reiser4, and 
well, there still seems to be a lot of resistance to including it in 
mainline.  I don't think we'll see it soon...


For resizing, your best bets (for journalling fs) are ext3 and reiser3.  
XFS is growable, but not shrinkable.
