Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] How to come back to Mac OS?
After booting the Installer, choose the Disk Utility from the Installer menu and repartition your disk. When done with the Disk Utility, the Installer will allow a new installation of Mac OS X.

I've tried to insert the Mac OS X (v 10.0.1) but the installer is not able to find any partion (hd): what can I do? Thank you very much for your help, in advance.

Well, this may explain why neither one works. They are the same.
Does that look right??
Looks right to me; these are the same settings I have in Thunderbird
(with different hostname and username, of course), and I don't have any
problems.
What I don't get is why moz is trying to relay directly. I'm no
mail/network guru, but I do know that if I send a mail to someone
outside my network (like, for example, the list), *I* don't relay (send
the mail via another ssmtp server) but rather I send it to my ISP and
*they* relay it (just like snail mail; I drop the letter in the post box
near me and the Postal Service takes it to the next node in the town
where the recipient lives, and *their* local mail service delivers it.
It's not like if I want to write somebody in NYC, I have to mail the
letter *in* NYC for it to be delivered...!)
About all I can ask at this point is:
1) what version of Mozilla are you using? What are your USE flags for
your installation? Have you checked b.g.o or mozillazine
(http://www.mozillazine.org/ ) to see if this is perhaps a known bug of
your version of Mozilla? Have you tried upgrading (maybe it's a bug
that's fixed in later versions)?
2) If you go to Edit=Preferences=Account Preferences=Outgoing server
(SMTP), is there more than one server listed, and is your ISP's server
selected as standard? Like Iain, I had similar problems (a long time
ago) when attempting to send mail via my home ISP from work, where we
had a different ISP, which wouldn't work because I was logged into my
work's mail server (of course), and not my home ISP's SMTP server, so my
home ISP wasn't going to send my mail, since I wasn't an authorized user
(not logged in). It's hard to believe that there isn't *some* problem
with your SMTP settings that we're missing, though there is no error to
be seen, and of course KMail is presumably set the same way, and *that*
works
3) I'm wondering if this isn't a Mozilla problem; very curious as to
whether Thunderbird would exhibit it as well. If you want to try it, you
can use the same mail folders and settings as Mozilla, which I can
quickly tell you how to set up (it's like 5 steps, if T-bird doesn't
just offer to import the Mozilla settings for you) if you decide to try
it. Also curious as to whether there's *any difference whatsoever*
between your KMail settings and your Mozilla settings (yes, it's
fine-toothed-comb time).
4) I'm also wondering if this is a local problem (to a specific
outside address), or a general problem (to any outside address).
Have you tested mail to multiple/different outside addresses, or just
one? If just one, maybe that one is the problem. You can send me a test
mail; I'm certainly outside your local network :-) .
5) It's a long shot, but is there any possibility that you're sending to
an outside address to which your ISP will *not* relay, i.e. someplace
that *cough* Homeland Security doesn't want you writing to (maybe you
have a relative in the service, I don't know)? If there are such domains
(and I'm sure there are), it's within the (distant, we hope) realm of
possiblility that
your ISP is being excessively cautious in order to avoid any spotlight
of investigation falling on them.
6) I don't know much (all right, anything) about sending command-line
mail, but there must be a way to get a traceroute of a mail. Maybe
somebody here knows how we could get some useful output about what
happens when this mail pretends to relay itself for some reason.
I just thought of something. My new install has two accounts, the
dalek one and my new one rdalek. Where's rdalek?? I'm going to
change later and get rid of some spam, I hope.
I had to fill in the user directories since I was logged in as root.
Root don't have a .mozilla directory.
Regular users don't have any rights to read root's home directory.
Probably Mozilla

Re: [gentoo-user] Java and java.library.path
darren kirby schreef: quoth the Trenton Adams: on the java command line put -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib I don't know if gentoo has a config for this or not, I didn't know ADDLDPATH existed. Who knows, perhaps editing the JRE version of that file would help? I am really sorry, but I don't know what you mean by 'java command line'. The app itself, is in /usr/bin like everything else, it just gives me that error when I start it from an xterm, ie: $ iriverter insert error message Well, I don't know much about java either, but 4 out of 5 java programs I use are not started by program_name, but by java (-jar) program_name. This would be the java command-line, I imagine. Basically, the idea is that you have to invoke java so that java runs the program. Because the first argument in the command is java, you are then able to use various command-line switches for Java (such as the aforementioned -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib) before telling Java what program you want it to run (in this case iriverter). java -help Usage: java [-options] class [args...] (to execute a class) or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...] (to execute a jar file) where options include: -client to select the client VM -server to select the server VM -hotspot is a synonym for the client VM [deprecated] The default VM is client. -cp class search path of directories and zip/jar files -classpath class search path of directories and zip/jar files A : separated list of directories, JAR archives, and ZIP archives to search for class files. -Dname=value set a system property -verbose[:class|gc|jni] enable verbose output -version print product version and exit -version:value require the specified version to run -showversion print product version and continue -jre-restrict-search | -jre-no-restrict-search include/exclude user private JREs in the version search -? -help print this help message -Xprint help on non-standard options -ea[:packagename...|:classname] -enableassertions[:packagename...|:classname] enable assertions -da[:packagename...|:classname] -disableassertions[:packagename...|:classname] disable assertions -esa | -enablesystemassertions enable system assertions -dsa | -disablesystemassertions disable system assertions So I think what Trenton probably meant was that you should try starting the program with java -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib iriverter (assuming that iriverter is not a *.jar file in which case you'd need -jar before iriverter). You know, there's a high likelihood that the iriverter file in /usr/bin is a script that is readable in a text editor. You might want to see if you can have a look at it and see just what it's doing. A readme that tells you how to run the program (man iriverter? iriverter --help?) might be of some use, too. Hope this helps, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

To recap a bit. I have a problem sending email to anyone outside my ISPs network. I can't send to a yahoo, or my brothers Bell South account and some others too. Your ISP's mail server thinks you are connecting from outside their network, so it only allows you to send mails to addresses within the network (that's the Relaying denied bit). There's nothing wrong with your network connections, because KMail works, so it must be down to your Mozilla config. Some ISPs also check the domain part of your email address, is that set the same in Mozilla and KMail? Yup. I get the same error even if I just switch desktops and don't even disconnect and reconnect my modem. I have got the same error once or twice on the old OS with Kmail too. It was just a few times though. What gets me is this, I did a fresh install and copied over my /home directory and /etc as well. Everything else was new. It still does not work. Here is the kicker. On my new install, Mozilla will no longer open, just like on the old OS. I have a few questions that I would like you to think about. I upgraded gcc, then upgraded KDE to 3.5 and had to upgrade my kernel when I did the KDE upgrade. Can all that have something to do with this? I'm considering doing another install and not use the new gcc, a older kernel, and KDE 3.4 just to see if it would work then. This is really wrecking my brain. I have no clue what is wrong. I booted the Gentoo CD and ran memtest86 and got several passes with not one single error. My CPU runs as cool as some with water cooling so I don't think this is hardware. It's hard for me to beleive that I can have two drives from different manufacturors going out at the same time either. Now to go back and answer Hollys email. Any ideas? Me clueless. Dale :-( Maybe try Firefox and Thunderbird as your browser and email client? Evidently something is wrong with how Mozilla is configured and maybe deleting any and all /home/dale/.mozilla folders is called for. Since you have already went through a new install and really did a good job of trouble-shooting, I would say your email client is the problem and/or ISP.

[gentoo-user] hotplug remove action problem
I wanted to make automation script that would add correct line tu automount config file for usb devices. I made add script and remove script, but remove script is not started even after reinserting any usb storage device. I added the line: echo $REMOVER /var/log/udev-log to usb.agent just after place where remove) is, and the line env /var/log/udev-log I noticed that there are only /var/run/usb/ lines made by echo (there is no correct $REMOVER value) and env. It does not work for any usb storage device that I have. Is it a bug?? How can this be fixed? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Problems installing Gentoo on an HP Netserver LH6000 (hangs loading RAID modules)
Hello everyone, I've got a problem installing Gentoo on an HP NetServer LH6000. It has an Adaptec RAID AIC78xx Controller. When i boot with a LiveCD and put doscsi to the kernel's command line at boot time, it tries to load 3 kernel modules: sym53c8xx, aic78xxx and scsi_transport_spi, but hangs in the process of loading, and i have to reboot. I've managed to start the LiveCd without SCSI detection and it loads OK. But then, then, i modprobe those modules, they load, but i still can't see the RAID disks. (no scsi devices in /dev) The weird thing is that i tried installing a RedHat 9 just to see if it was capable of seeing the RAID devices. it turns out that RedHat sees the RAID devices loading exactly the same modules i tried to load with Gentoo - sym53c8xx and aic78xxx. Any ideas on this? does anyone have cross with a similar problem? Any clues will be highly appreciated.

Re: [gentoo-user] Java and java.library.path [solved]
quoth the Holly Bostick: Well, I don't know much about java either, but 4 out of 5 java programs I use are not started by program_name, but by java (-jar) program_name. This would be the java command-line, I imagine. Basically, the idea is that you have to invoke java so that java runs the program. Because the first argument in the command is java, you are then able to use various command-line switches for Java (such as the aforementioned -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib) before telling Java what program you want it to run (in this case iriverter). java -help Usage: java [-options] class [args...] (to execute a class) or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...] (to execute a jar file) where options include: -client to select the client VM -server to select the server VM -hotspot is a synonym for the client VM [deprecated] The default VM is client. -cp class search path of directories and zip/jar files -classpath class search path of directories and zip/jar files A : separated list of directories, JAR archives, and ZIP archives to search for class files. -Dname=value set a system property -verbose[:class|gc|jni] enable verbose output -version print product version and exit -version:value require the specified version to run -showversion print product version and continue -jre-restrict-search | -jre-no-restrict-search include/exclude user private JREs in the version search -? -help print this help message -Xprint help on non-standard options -ea[:packagename...|:classname] -enableassertions[:packagename...|:classname] enable assertions -da[:packagename...|:classname] -disableassertions[:packagename...|:classname] disable assertions -esa | -enablesystemassertions enable system assertions -dsa | -disablesystemassertions disable system assertions So I think what Trenton probably meant was that you should try starting the program with java -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib iriverter This did not work, but see further: (assuming that iriverter is not a *.jar file in which case you'd need -jar before iriverter). You know, there's a high likelihood that the iriverter file in /usr/bin is a script that is readable in a text editor. Good call, it was a script. Java is called from the script itself, as well as setting up the library path. I simply appended '/usr/lib/' to this path and voila! Fired right up. Showing my ignorance here, I thought it would be a regular executable like everything else. Now I will know for the next time I must wrestle with some java app ;) You might want to see if you can have a look at it and see just what it's doing. A readme that tells you how to run the program (man iriverter? iriverter --help?) might be of some use, too. I forgot to mention in my first post, the app itself had only generic install instructions and an empty README file, so there was no help there...

[gentoo-user] weird keyboard behaviour
Hi everyone, I've been using gentoo linux for several months now. Right from the very beginning I have noticed very odd behviour with it, in regards to keyboard input. I have not seen this behaviour on other linux distributions that use kernel 2.6. Has anyone else noticed that ctrl-C using the right side of the keyboard does not always work? It's almost intermittent. I have seen this behaviour on every machine I've installed gentoo on, so I know it's not a hardware problem. Are there gentoo kernel changes related to HCIs such as the keyboard? Thanks in advance. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Following that I re-emerged ivtv. The emerge went cleanly and following a reboot I now have the first card (PVR-150) working correctly. Unfortunately the second card just hangs up. I get 1 second of video. The card freezes and then comes back to MythTV saying there was a problem playing video. I hit escape and I'm back in Myth. There is nothing strange to my eyes in dmesg: ivtv: START INIT IVTV ivtv: version 0.4.2 (tagged release) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.13-gentoo-r3-ht SMP preempt PENTIUM4 gcc-3.3 ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist. ivtv0: Autodetected WinTV PVR 150 card (cx23416 based) ACPI: PCI Interrupt :01:01.0[A] - GSI 22 (level, low) - IRQ 21 ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) tveeprom: ivtv version tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 26032, rev = C199, serial# = 8095579 tveeprom: tuner = TCL 2002N 5H (idx = 99, type = 50) tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x1000) tveeprom: audio processor = CX25841 (type = 23) tveeprom: decoder processor = CX25841 (type = 1c) ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=tveeprom, addr=50] tuner (ivtv): chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus ivtv i2c driver #0 ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=(tuner unset), addr=61] cx25840 0-0044: ivtv driver cx25840 0-0044: cx25841-23 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) cx25840 0-0044: loaded v4l-cx25840.fw firmware (14264 bytes) ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=cx25840, addr=44] wm8775 0-001b: ivtv driver wm8775 0-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #0) ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=wm8775, addr=1b] ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (262144 bytes) ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02050032 ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder MPEG stream: 128 x 32768 buffers (4096KB total) ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder YUV stream: 194 x 10800 buffers (2048KB total) ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder VBI stream: 120 x 17472 buffers (2048KB total) ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder PCM audio stream: 455 x 4608 buffers (2048KB total) tuner: type set to 50 (TCL 2002N) by ivtv i2c driver #0 ivtv0: Initialized WinTV PVR 150, card #0 ivtv: == NEXT CARD == ivtv1: Autodetected WinTV PVR 250 card (cx23416 based) ACPI: PCI Interrupt :01:02.0[A] - GSI 17 (level, low) - IRQ 22 ivtv1: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) tveeprom: ivtv version tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 32062, rev = C182, serial# = 7913638 tveeprom: tuner = LG TAPC H791F (idx = 82, type = 39) tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x1000) tveeprom: audio processor = MSP3445 (type = c) tveeprom: decoder processor = SAA7115 (type = 13) ivtv1: i2c attach to card #1 ok [client=tveeprom, addr=50] tuner (ivtv): chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus ivtv i2c driver #1 ivtv1: i2c attach to card #1 ok [client=(tuner unset), addr=61] saa7115 1-0021: ivtv driver saa7115 1-0021: saa7115 found @ 0x42 (ivtv i2c driver #1) ivtv1: i2c attach to card #1 ok [client=saa7115, addr=21] msp3400 1-0040: ivtv driver msp3400 1-0040: chip=MSP3445G-B8 +nicam +simple +simpler +radio mode=simpler msp3400 1-0040: msp34xxg daemon started ivtv1: i2c attach to card #1 ok [client=MSP3445G-B8, addr=40] ivtv1: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (262144 bytes) ivtv1: Encoder revision: 0x02050032 ivtv1: Allocate DMA encoder MPEG stream: 128 x 32768 buffers (4096KB total) ivtv1: Allocate DMA encoder YUV stream: 194 x 10800 buffers (2048KB total) ivtv1: Allocate DMA encoder VBI stream: 120 x 17472 buffers (2048KB total) ivtv1: Allocate DMA encoder PCM audio stream: 455 x 4608 buffers (2048KB total) tuner: type set to 39 (LG NTSC (newer TAPC series)) by ivtv i2c driver #1 ivtv1: Initialized WinTV PVR 250, card #1 ivtv: END INIT IVTV Following the reboot this was added to the /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log 2006-01-18 14:48:34.106 New DB connection, total: 1 Starting up as the master server. 2006-01-18 14:48:34.590 New DB

Re: [gentoo-user] Passing ./configure options via emerge
Man, I tell you what... Bochs built correctly and the RFB stuff worked... Sort of. There seems to be an issue with both QEMU and Bochs when used via VNC. Both of them were fairly easy to setup and get running and they work fine when I'm sitting at the console. The problem is when I try to use them over a VNC session on a virtual console (using vncserver). From what I can find, there's an issue with mouse synchronization--an issue that pretty much excludes these great products from being used in a Terminal Server-like environment.

SOLVED - I updated the kernel to 2.6.15-gentoo and now it works.

Was this from your home, or from your brother's house? Because it looks like you are still connecting through someone else's network! Well, one thing has changed since this morning. They appear to have had a meltdown. They said they were having trouble with everybody when I called after my nap. I was here at home but they did give me a new number to dial in too. That may explain something. snip I'm not sure either. It sounds like Mozilla is doing what it should be doing and Kmail is not, if you look at it from the point of preventing spoofing and all. I'll point this out to them tomorrow. I'm not sure what you can do about this...it isn't wrong to send the RCPT TO command, so it doesn't seem to be a bug in mozilla. Possibly if you give this information (and maybe the ethereal traces) to exceedtech, they may be able to modify their mail server's configuration to compensate. Or you could try thunderbird... -Richard I like Mozilla so that I can right click on a link in a email and open it in a new tab instead of having 20 windows open at a time. I hate clutter in my puter. ;-) I tried Thunderbird once, wasn't for me. It may be better than Kmail but not that much. Will keep advised on what happens in the morning though.

Re: [gentoo-user] New install, I still can't send email. Same error too.
Hi again, sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday - I took my hard drive out last night and replaced it with a new one (plus a fresh install) and I only got it back up this morning. I think the traceroute and ethereal are the two leads to follow here: 1. why are you dialling into exceedtech but getting an ip address on the QWest network (according to Richard Fish - well spotted!) and 2. what is your mozilla setting: Mail Newsgroups Account Settings Outgoing Server (SMTP) Use name and password (is it ticked or not?) and what is the Server Name? Also, wrt to mozilla itself not starting - a) did you start it from the terminal or from a menu launcher? b) If from the terminal, did you get any output? c) Do you get the prompt back? d) What happens when you do `ps aux | grep mozilla` while mozilla is in it's won't start phase?.

Re: [gentoo-user] Sorry about the spam
Questions: 1) why should i contribute to your fund instead of directly contributing to the funds or companies that maintain the linux distribution that i use. 2) There is already a linux standard base www.linuxbase.org...why another one that nobody follows 3) how can your overhead be minimal or nothing ?...the best charitable organizations have 20% overhead... zero overhead implies contribute directly without going through third parties which you are.. 4) better the community ? with what better human beings ? 5) what's the criteria of who deserves to be paid by the money you collect ?

Here is what the goal is (as of now): - To have some kind of useful standard among the many distributions. - To compensate those who need or want compensation for their hard work. (The laborer is worthy of his/her wages.) - Community moderated, no controlling overhead like Microsoft. - Whatever they release will be completely free software. No strings. United means we help each other develop and improve Linux software--separately. So no united. That's optional for now. How can people be interested? - It is just a fund paid by the community for the community - Overhead will be minimal, if anything. - People are already interested in Linux, and they would like to donate to a worthy cause. (Yes, this does mean that we would have to be worthy) What's the point? - Make Linux better - Increase Linux users (Microsoft users might convert) - Better the community - Pay people who deserve it Really, we could make Gentoo the official distribution of Saviour Linux.

HTH, -- Iain. I tried starting it from both the menu and from a Konsole. I was reading a thread about someone getting gnome stuff of their system. Holly mentioned that Mozilla needed some gnome stuff to work. I removed a lot of gnome stuff just before Mozilla stop opening. I fixed this by doing this: I did a fresh install the other day. After I emerged kde-meta, I emerged mozilla. I noticed there were about 8 or 9 other packages that were pulled in. I got curious. After I booted into the OLD OS, I mounted the partition of the NEW install and went digging in the emerge log. I picked out the packages that it installed and then installed them on my OLD OS. After that, Mozilla works fine. Most likely, I unmerged something that Mozilla needed. Oh, revdep-rebuild did NOT catch it either. I'm not sure if it should, just saying it didn't. My Mozilla works fine now so that is not a problem. It does not send email though, well, unless it is to myself. LOL I'm supposed to talk to my ISP tomorrow. I'll let you guys know what happens.

Re: [gentoo-user] Full Squid Cache

How does one get squid to clean out old items? I would of thought squid would of removed older items. I would prefer not to just delete it and recreate it but rather clean it out. Squid does that. Do you go with the default configuration of squid? That creates a rather small cache. Go to /etc/squid/squid.conf and change the last number for cache_dir from 256 to 1024 or 2048. Don't forget to uncomment that line. Restart squid. That should do it.
