[gentoo-user] Palm PDA setup...

Funny coincidence - had the same problem today.
My Palm is a Tungsten E without a craddle - just an USB cable. To be
able to use that I need a couple of things:
1. Kernel
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=m
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC=y
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_VISOR=m
2. Loading modules in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 with
visor vendor=0x0830 product=0x0060
That'll both load visor and usbserial.
3. UDEV
In /etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules:
KERNEL==ttyUSB[0-9]*, NAME=tts/USB%n, GROUP=usb, MODE=0666
BUS=usb, SYSFS{product}=Palm Handheld*, KERNEL=ttyUSB[13579],
SYMLINK=pilot, MODE=0666, GROUP=usb
In /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-visor.permissions
ttyUSB*:root:usb:0666
tts/[0-9]*:root:usb:0666
tts/USB[0-9]*:root:usb:0666
pilot:root:usb:0666
4. Hotplug should have been emerged and running
5. Testing
Now add your user(s) to the group usb, press Hotsync on your Palm device
and check if /dev/tts/USB0 and /dev/tts/USB1 have been created by UDEV
and a symlink /dev/pilot exists.
If that's true run pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot --list while your Palm still
is trying to hotsync. pilot-xfer should be able to connect now.
If you're using Gnome I recommend using the gnome-pilot-applet. Works
like a charm with Evolution.
I'm not sure where to go from here. I've read several howtos, and have
not gotten anywhere beyond this. Most things with gentoo have `just
worked' though I'm not sure why this is posing a problem. Any help
would be apreciated. Thank you for your time.

FWIW, I use enlightenment from cvs (enlightenment-0.16.) and ROX to manage the panel and desktop. I also have kde installed and run its applications as needed. I've used e for years and _really_ enjoy it! http://enlightenment.org (DR16 is the version you'll follow here) http://rox.sf.net ROX is an incredibly lightweight desktop and file manager. The more you use it, the more you'll appreciate what it does! The real benefit of this combination is that they are both really small packages. No multi-day compiles required. For me, Athlon XP 2500 oc'ed to 2800, enlightenment compiles in 1 minute, rox in less than 1. caveat: sometimes the sourceforge servers don't let you cvs, so some retries might be required. # time ebuild enlightenment-0.16..ebuild compile real0m55.096s user0m39.489s sys 0m10.694s image, compiling an entire wm in under 1 minute! # time ebuild rox-2.3.ebuild compile real0m43.412s user0m32.358s sys 0m8.698s Pretty swift if you ask me. Of course, your mileage may vary, and you will need to allow time for downloading and merging or getting dependencies. Neither has many though. Good luck. JM2C. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] KDE and USB Stick
My system:I use the latest stable version of KDE, ivman, hal, and dbus. In /etc/fstab I say that /dev/sda1 must be mounted on /mnt/usb, and can be unmounted by any user..Where I am:Everytime I insert a USB Stick in my computer, ivman automatically creates a /dev/sdN1, where N can be any letter, and mounts it in /media/KINGSTON or in /media/KINGSTON1. I can't predict the letter (N value) nor if the media will be mounted on KINGSTON or KINGSTON1. When I open Konqueror, enter media:/, select the media folder related to the memory stick, this KINGSTON driver appears there. Only root can unmount this USB file system.Where I wanna go:I wanna create a link on my desktop for easy access to this USB Stick. And I want to unmount this driver using a common user.

For devfs enabled systems, default is /dev/v4l/video or /dev/v4l/video0, in that order. For non devfs systems, default is /dev/video or /dev/video/video0 or /dev/video0, in that order. Note that on /proc enabled systems, video device detection is automagic. Bob - I changed the setting in /etc/conf.d/rc as you suggested and rebooted.

[gentoo-user] Weird GNOME problem
Earlier tonight I changed the setting in /etc/conf.d/rc for the RC_DEVICE_TARBALL from yes to no and rebooted. Now I can't get into GNOME. For my personal account after I enter my username/password the screen clears and I see the default background color and my mouse pointer, then nothing else. I can move the mouse pointer, but there's nothing the click on and the context menu doesn't come up when I right-click. When I tried to log in as root from the welcome screen I see the GNOME Starting box with the Gentoo logo, but it never goes on from that. To get out of both my personal account and the root account I had to Alt+Cntrl+Backspace. I got a Failsafe Terminal and looked at the log files for gdm and saw this: (EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory) There are five log files in /var/log/gdm; they all say roughly the same thing, and their timestamps are consistent with the times I tried to log in and got stuck. I can't even find out why it's looking for this file or how to make it stop looking for it. Can anyone help me out here? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Need help with USE options.
Hi again, I read a thread that was talking about the global USE pulling some things a user may not want installed. I am going to do a reinstall and mostly copy some things over from my current install but I do want to change my USE line. I am a bit worried about using the option they posted, the -* at the beginning of the USE line. I may disable something that I need then. I use KDE for my desktop. I plan to have OOc installed along with java and that sort of thing. I don't have any database software installed, that I know of anyway. I want to make this a reasonable install this time. I have a lot of gnome stuff installed right now and I don't use gnome at all. I tried it, it's not for me. No offense to Gnome users. This is my current USE line: USE=acl acpi alsa amd arts artsd artswrappersuid -bonobo cdr chroot clanJavaScript -crypt dbus doc -eds ethereal f-prot fdftk gaim gcj gimpprint gkrellm -gnome gphoto2 gtk -gtkhtml hal hbci hpijs gif innodb java javascript jbig justify kde mmx mozdomi mozilla nsplugin ofx offensive openoffice -oss parse-clocks ppds pysol scanner scribus sse tcltk tiff tkinter truetype tuxracer udev usb X xml xprint yahoo 3dnow As far as I know, they are in alphabetical order as well. I'm a recovering perfectionist OK. LOL I'm not recovering to well either. Is there anything that I should add to make it remove gnome or other software that I may not be using anyway? That includes things I may need to have the - in front of to override the global settings. While I am at it, have a look at these lines as well. I like fast but stable: LDFLAGS='-Wl,-z,now' CFLAGS=-march=athlon-xp -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fno-ident -pipe I have a AMD Athlon XP 2500+ CPU with 1GB of ram. Let me know if you see something wrong with those. So far they are stable at least. I plan to work on my servers next. Thanks for the help. Dale :-) -- To err is human, I'm most certainly human.
