[gentoo-user] artsd Error
Hi recently i merged amarok to see what´s the big deal about it. But after the merge the CPU usage raised to 100% caused by artsd an then an errormessage pops up: error - artsmessage Sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting After klicking OK the CPU usage raises again and the window pops up again and so on and on. It didn´t help to unmerge amarok and some kde-artsd-packages (i am using GNOME). It stopped after i unmerged artsd completely, but i need it for some programs i use (mplayer, vlc...). So i used revdep-rebuild to repair the lib and dependecies. But after that the artsd pops up that kde-message-window again. Google told to switch the soundsettings from OSS to ALSA. But that had no effect here. (I switched this setting in the GNOME-multimedia-settings). Has someone any ideas? Thank you. Norman -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] livecd 2006 problems

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - Need help with NAT
I have been having trouble forwarding packets using iptables on my Gentoo box. I am no iptables expert. I connect to the internet using rp-pppoe. I use firestarter for firewalling. Yesterday I installed VMware and chose host only networking between the VMs. vmnet0 was bound to 192.168.128.1 and the rest of the subnet being 192.168.128.0/24. As should be obvious by now, I need to forward packets from ppp0 to vmnet0 and allow outbound packets as well. Add net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding = 1 to /etc/sysctl.conf and apply the setting by issuing sysctl -p as root. Issue the command: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING \ -o ppp0 \ --source 192.168.128.0/24 \ -j MASQUERADE also as root. You may also want to issue: iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT \ -p tcp \ --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \ -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu and possibly iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT \ -p tcp \ --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \ -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu as root to help control packet fragmentation. I believe the iptables init script should handle saving/restoring these rules on reboot. I have NO IDEA how to add these iptables rules to firestarter. You may also try to uncomment CLAMPMSS=1412 in /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf instead to see if this works with firestarter connection sharing settings. And you may try shorewall on your gateway/router as an alternative to firestarter. HTH, Sasha -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I never was able to backup that particular partition (containing /, /usr, /tmp, /opt, /var, /etc) since even dd if=/dev/hda6 gave up after a while reporting an I/O error. All other partitions, however, are backed up properly, and nothing that could not be replaced was on that partition. At present I have tried reiserfsck --badblocks bad.txt with both --fix-fixable and --rebuild-tree. --fix-fixable told me to run --rebuild-tree and --rebuild-tree failed leaving the partition unmountable. I also tried dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda6 which failed after a while. I finally tried formatting the partition with NTFS just to see if Windoze handles this better. Formatting it worked fine, scandisk returned no errors and I could copy 1,5 GB of data to the partition before it failed with a hardware error... In other words it doesn't. ;) Also during all those attempts the Current_Pending_Sectors reported by S.M.A.R.T. has grown from 39 to now 102.. So the result is that I have used another partition for my system since last friday and that the drive will be replaced next monday. Since that other partition is way smaller than the one I used to use and because it is such a short time, I thought I'd take the opportunity to try another distribution i.e. Kubuntu Dabber (beta) with KDE 3.5.2. I must say that I am impressed by the present state of Kubuntu, but I also really miss the control that Gentoo provides so next monday I'll be installing Gentoo on a brand new and more partitioned harddrive. :) I also really miss something equivalent to eix/diff-eix/eix-sync for Debian based systems.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo ADSL wireless router (3 questions)
Grant wrote:
I set up my spare Gentoo box up as a wireless router for my new
Verizon ADSL connection by following the instructions here:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml
My setup is a little different though because I'm using a madwifi card
to provide wireless access. Things are working really well, but I've
got a couple questions I'm hoping someone can help with.
1. I can't actually get:
config_eth0=adsl
to work. It always says: TIMED OUT. I'm using:
config_eth0=dhcp
instead which times out half the time and half the time gets me the IP
192.168.1.47 and provides connection to the Internet. Isn't that
weird? Is it even checking my username/password that's in the
ppp/pppoe config files?
Are you sure that you got a ADSL Modem or is it a Router. I'm sure they
have given you some instructions as to how to connect using Windows
machine. Can you quote them, as to how to set up the network in windows
machine. It'll clear a great deal of things. Also since the config_eth0
is dhcp I seriously doubt you got a Plain DSL Modem, I think they have
provided you a Router.
2. I followed the instructions at the above link to set up iptables. When I
try to ssh into the router
from another machine on the network,
I get Connection refused. I'm guessing it's from the firewall. Is
there a good utility that will allow me to manage the firewall?
If you got this line,
iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --dport ssh -i ${WAN} -j ACCEPT
as suggested by the above link while setting up the firewall, then there
is no problem from the firewall. Are you sure you've started the ssh
server on your router? To start the ssh server, type this:
/etc/init.d/sshd start
To start the ssh server everytime you boot the system, add ssh server to
default run level, like this,
rc-update add ssh default
Hope this should make the ssh server accessible from the systems in your
network.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo ADSL wireless router (3 questions)
I set up my spare Gentoo box up as a wireless router for my new
Verizon ADSL connection by following the instructions here:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml
My setup is a little different though because I'm using a madwifi card
to provide wireless access. Things are working really well, but I've
got a couple questions I'm hoping someone can help with.
1. I can't actually get:
config_eth0=adsl
to work. It always says: TIMED OUT. I'm using:
config_eth0=dhcp
instead which times out half the time and half the time gets me the IP
192.168.1.47 and provides connection to the Internet. Isn't that
weird? Is it even checking my username/password that's in the
ppp/pppoe config files?
Are you sure that you got a ADSL Modem or is it a Router. I'm sure they
have given you some instructions as to how to connect using Windows
machine. Can you quote them, as to how to set up the network in windows
machine. It'll clear a great deal of things. Also since the config_eth0
is dhcp I seriously doubt you got a Plain DSL Modem, I think they have
provided you a Router.
The instructions are all on CD. I reviewed them again and it's just
plug in the power cord, plug in the ethernet cable, plug in the phone
cord stuff. I'm completely sure it's just a DSL modem. It only has
one ethernet port and no wireless antenna. What's could be going on
with this? It seems really weird to me. Is there another Gentoo ADSL
guide I should try to follow besides this one:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml
2. I followed the instructions at the above link to set up iptables. When I
try to ssh into the router
from another machine on the network,
I get Connection refused. I'm guessing it's from the firewall. Is
there a good utility that will allow me to manage the firewall?
If you got this line,
iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --dport ssh -i ${WAN} -j ACCEPT
as suggested by the above link while setting up the firewall, then there
is no problem from the firewall. Are you sure you've started the ssh
server on your router? To start the ssh server, type this:
/etc/init.d/sshd start
To start the ssh server everytime you boot the system, add ssh server to
default run level, like this,
rc-update add ssh default
Hope this should make the ssh server accessible from the systems in your
network.
I had forgotten that I changed the ssh port to a high number. Working
now. Sorry about that.

[gentoo-user] wpa_supplicant master mode
Has anyone gotten master mode to work with wpa_supplicant? I'm
trying to use wpa_supplicant on my wireless Gentoo router for WPA
encryption. The farthest I've gotten is with the following
wpa_supplicant.conf:
###
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid=mynetwork
mode=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-NONE
pairwise=NONE
group=TKIP
psk=mypassword
}
###
and the following /etc/conf.d/net:
###
config_ath0=192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
modules_ath0=wpa_supplicant
wpa_supplicant_ath0=-Dmadwifi
###
Starting net.ath0 returns:
###
* Starting ath0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on ath0 ... [ ok ]
* ath0 connected to mynetwork at 00:00:00:00:00:00
* Bringing up ath0
* 192.168.0.1 [ ok ]
###
Subsequent 'iwlist ath0 scanning' from my laptop do not show
'mynetwork' and trying to connect to it just times out.
WEP via iwconfig is working great. Is there a better way to set WPA
encryption on my Gentoo router?

[gentoo-user] USE flag oddity
I don't know what I'm doing. It seems wise to admit that at the start. Nobody needs to rub my nose in it that way.

It seemed like something I would like, however, so I tried putting the flag into /etc/portage/package.keywords: mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird mozcalendar www-client/mozilla-firefox mozcalendar but the subsequent emerge shows that this does not avoid the situation: notice that TB has +moscalendar, but FB has -mozcalendar.[ebuild R ] mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.8 -debug +gnome* +ipv6 +ldap +mozcalendar -moznoxft +truetype -xinerama -xprint 0 kB [ebuild R ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.8 -debug +gnome* +ipv6 +java -mozcalendar -mozdevelop -moznoxft -mozsvg +truetype -xinerama -xprint 0 kB Call me confused... --Kevin O'Gorman

[gentoo-user] What can I use for a compressed file system?
What can I use for a compressed file system? I am looking at setting up a loopback mounted filesystem that I want to use to store backups into. Compression is needed as space will become a limitation in the future (I want to do a whole system backup that so far is 2:1 compressed via tar.bzip2. I am thinking of using dirvish into a compressed loopback mount - but how do I set up a compressed fs? Squashfs, cloop and zisofs are readonly, I have looked at encfs (looks nice), but it doesnt seem to compress, just encrypt and I dont want the overhead, or need it. e2compr looks a bit like abandonware - what else is available?

There are alternative ways to update portage that are more suited to

### Extracted from

Download a snapshot (you can find one in any gentoo mirror), and
download the md5sum, move it to $PORTAGE_TMPDIR/emerge-webrsync and
run emerge-webrsync, it will use those without downloading a new
snapshot.
Or, you can manually do the sync yourself. Extract the
portage-snapshot into a directory, and then use the following command:
rsync -av --progress --stats --delete --delete-after \
--exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/packages' \
--exclude='/local' . ${PORTDIR%%/}
Either define PORTDIR, or replace that with the location of your
portage tree (/usr/portage by default).

Give it a try...
Oh, thank you. I will try this over the weekend. I still have had no
success with other tactics. I'll let ya know how it goes.

[gentoo-user] wine CVS does not find freetype on amd64
(This is not about any wine ebuild) (I am not compiling wine in a 32bit chroot) During the compilation of latest wine release from the CVS repository, I get the following warning message at the completion of the ./configure script: *** Warning: Freetype or Fontforge is missing. *** Fonts will not be built. Dialog text may be invisible or unaligned. I know for sure that my system has both freetype and fontforge installed: [ebuild R ] media-gfx/fontforge-20060408 +X +gif +jpeg +png +svg +tiff +truetype +unicode 0 kB [ebuild R ] media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1 -bindist -doc +zlib 0 kB However, I have a feeling, based on configure's output: http://plouj.sh.nu/configure.out that wine isn't finding freetype or something related to it. Of course, I can compile wine after this but like the warning hinted, fonts are messed up. In my case, I see things like strange symbols instead of _ [] X at the top right of each window. For example: http://plouj.sh.nu/cdstomper1.png I want to figure out what it is that wine is not finding or not liking about my system. I looked a the configure script but I got lost tracking what it does. All I could figure out is that it tries to run 'freetype-config --libs' to get a list of libs, which by the way outputs the following: $ freetype-config --libs -L/usr/lib64 -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64 -lfreetype -lz Here is how I aquired and configured this wine release: $ export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/wine $ cvs login $ cvs co -r Wine-0_9_12 -d wine-src wine $ cd wine-0.9.13 $ cat build.sh #!/bin/bash CFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-L/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/ -L/emul/linux/x86/lib/ -L/usr/lib32/ ./configure $ ./build.sh Can someone else try this on amd64 and let me know how it works?
