 Have you tried VMWare?
 
 The workstation version has a free 30 day trial (just emerge it).

I'd suggest the VMware Server, which is available for free.

Why don't you just checkout a fresh copy on your XP box?
It's not like you can't work on two different working copies at the same time.

[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild wants to merge gcc over and over again

2006-11-10 Thread Markus Schönhaber
Hello,

this is what revdep-rebuild has to say wrt gcc:
  broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-w3c-dom.la 
(requires /usr/lib/libgcj.la)
  broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-xml-sax.la 
(requires /usr/lib/libgcj.la)
  broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcjawt.la 
(requires /usr/lib/lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.la)
  broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgij.la 
(requires /usr/lib/libgcj.la)

but neither /usr/lib/libgcj.la nor /usr/lib/lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.la exist 
on this machine.
For example, unmerging sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r1 removes both
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-w3c-dom.la
and
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-xml-sax.la
and re-merging it afterwards re-creates both - again with the dependency 
on /usr/lib/libgcj.la

Here is a snippet from
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-w3c-dom.la:

dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libgcj.la -lpthread -ldl -lz

86-pc-linux-gnu/../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -lgcc_s -lc'

For sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1-r1 the situation is the same.
What can be done to get rid of this?

[gentoo-user] [OT] VMware legal question

2006-11-10 Thread Daniel Iliev

I apologize for the offtopic, but I think my question and especially its
answer would be of interest to other list members. I'm concerned about
this because I'll have to do something similar in the near future and I
don't want to break any laws.


Is it legal to do the following:

1) emerge vmware-workstation
2) build some images (within the 30 day trial period)
3) emerge -C vmware-workstation (within the 30 day trial period)
4) emerge vmware-player and use it to play the images created by
vmware-workstation

[gentoo-user] metalog replacement

2006-11-10 Thread Arnau Bria
Hi,

I've been using metalog for a long time. I like its way of config where
you can set diff dirs for each service in an easy way:

Mail :

  facility = mail
  logdir   = /var/log/mail

But its syntax is not standard:

metalog:
Nov 10 12:30:00 [postfix/smtpd]

syslog-ng
Nov 10 12:58:10 afrodita postfix/pipe[27313]

and awstats does not read postfix logs correctly (neither pflogsumm.pl)

So, two questions:

1.-) Does anyone know how to change metalog syntax? I asked it to
metalog ML, two weeks ago, but I had no reply... Forums are
unmaintened...

2.-) What other log service do u recommend? 

May I create diff dirs for each service with syslog-nd?

Thanks in advance.

9629 segfaults, when screen resolution is changed by XFree86-VidModeExtension. 
Most games use this method. After the segfault your dm respawns, so you get

start the game. This should fix your issues. You could also use 9742

Re: [gentoo-user] WinXP under VMWare: no sound

 Unfortunately, even though I can get all the right libraries to
 load, I cannot get sound to work reliably on amd64.  Neither aoss
 nor vmdsp seem to work for me, either as a user or root.

That's very strange, because...

 However, I think I know how to make aoss work as a normal user on
 your system.  You should just need to:

 # chmod 4755 /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libaoss.so.0.0.0
 # ln -s /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libaoss.so /usr/lib32/libaoss.so

 The first command is just to make sure the library is setuid.

YOU ARE GREAT!!! 
I have too Gentoos, stable and testing.  I had only vmplayer 
installed in stable (the virtual machine is in another partition).
So I have:
a) emerged alsa-oss
b) emerged emul-linux-x86-soundlibs
c) chmoded and ln -sed as you have advised
and sound is working now both as root and as normal user!
Thanks!

If you have some spare time, I'ld like to understand why the symbolic 
link in /usr/lib32 is needed (and why your solution works on my 
system and not on yours).
But don't bother. I can imagine that you have something better to

Hi Richard,

I think you are correct.  I just scanned through the output of those two 
commands and I believe I may have missed the IDE chipset.  I'm going to 
try enabling it and see if that helps.


As for the other two responses, I did compile ReiserFS directly into the 
kernel, and also tried changing the kernel line in grub.conf to read 
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hda3 with little success.


Hopefully this will work though.

No, VMWare does not support OS/2 (a beta version did, but they stopped the 
development long ago). However, Parallels does, and it's a lot less 
expensive. I have eComStation working in a Parallels VM here.

[gentoo-user] My Snort server -- I Don't know whats wrong -- It seems to go to sleep

2006-11-10 Thread Timothy A. Holmes
Hi folks:

Ive been fighting with this problem intermittantly for some time now and
its starting to get the better of me.  The short summary is the box
keeps going to sleep on me.  It wont respond to ssh or webpage
requests till I ping it about 10 times after that it works normally.
It's a brand new install, specifically built for snort.  I have looked
at powersaving in the bios (its all off) there are no options in the
bios for making nics sleep (that I can find)

It does NOT appear that when it sleeps, I am dropping packets, the
packet stream in snort is apparently complete, its just like it gets
concentrating on snort so hard it forgets to respond till I poke it a
few times, BUT, as demonstrated below, the machine is basically just
loafing along.

This is getting REALLY annoying and I REALLY needs some help to track it
down

 always get the error message listed above
 (a windows for rdesktop appears  disappears after the error msg is

I assume that you have checked all the obvious access rights and network 
configuration issues (like the firewall configuration on the WinXP machines, 
the particular -l username access rights for login on interactively at the 
WinXP console, etc.)?

[gentoo-user] recommendation for printer/fax/copier/scanner combo

2006-11-10 Thread Allan Gottlieb
We currently have an HP 7130 that is wearing out and needs
replacement.  I would appreciate recommendations for a replacement.

1.  Good gentoo/linux/cups support (the HP 7130 does fine)

2.  Printer, copier, fax, scanner

3.  Color

4.  Duplex

5.  Network Printer  I would like to plug it into our linksys router
(wireless or wired ethernet is OK).  The linksys is a wrt54G.

6.  Also to be used (again via ethernet) from my wife's windows XP laptop

7.  Usage level is light.  My wife (windows XP) and I rarely print 50
pages in one day.

8.  I have had good luck with HP printers so would prefer an HP (and
would pay a little more for that).  But this is not a requirement.

thanks in advance,
allan

IIRC sound in Flash will only play if you have the alsa libs
installed. You may also want to try Flash player 9 from
labs.adobe.com.
