[gentoo-user] Synce and gentoo : crash RAPI driver


Hello!

I can't synchronize my Qtek 9100 (with WM5) and my gentoo.
I've read all documentation on synce wiki website, I've searched
information on Gentoo website, forums...But nothing to correct my
problem.

I've upgraded my kernel too in 2.6.20, but the problem is the same !

I start dccm processus with my user.
I start synce-serial-start with root account

When I plug my device a connection appears and is closed after 1 seconde.
If I try to execute synce-serial-status I obtain a message unable to load
rapi driver

Could you help me ?

Regards

[gentoo-user] Can portage clean up after a failed installation?

2007-03-01 Thread Jules Colding

Hi,

I've just tried to install nexuiz. Unfortunately it failed with [Errno
28] No space left on device. 

I can see that some files was installed. Can portage clean those up by
itself or do I have to do it manually?

Thanks,
  jules

What software versions did you install?

Also, I would recommend to use latest svn versions of librapi, synce
and rndis-lite (if using USB), as described in the synce wiki.

How do you connect your device? USB? Bluetooth?

Re: [gentoo-user] Synce and gentoo : crash RAPI driver


Ok thanks for your answer...perhaps can you save me !! :-)

I don't install subversion, because all lib was available at the gentoo
distrib (masked but present).
I would like to connect with USB (made simple to begin!!).

So, I've installed the last versions in mask tag present in the gentoo
distrib.

I've tried on my kernel 2.6.16-R9 and on the 2.6.20.

The problem was that nexuiz didn't install due to lack of space on

Hopefully! At least, I managed to make a connection to my WM5 PDA. I'm
not using any synchronization, however, just filesystem access.

A suggestion right at the start: Check out the SynCE-WindowsMobile5
mailing list. Dr J A Gow is currently making huge efforts regarding the
synchronization engine, but he maintains it currently out-of-tree.
Check the February Archive at sourceforge.

I don't install subversion, because all lib was available at the
gentoo distrib (masked but present).

The problem, however, is that the synce development is heavily
fragmented, partly there are even parallel efforts. I really, really
recommend to resort to the svn versions of everything:
http://www.synce.org/index.php/Building_SynCE_with_Windows_Mobile_2005_support_from_Subversion

Hopefully it will stabilize and we will see regular packages.

I would like to connect with USB (made simple to begin!!).

Actually, Bluetooth may even be more simple -- but I can't check, I
don't own bluetooth adapters.

Remember to enable USB networking in the kernel
(CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER), compile it as module, and then install
usb-rndis-lite drivers. You might even have to delete the modules that
the kernel generated in order to use the usb-rndis-lite ones, because
they will have the same name as the vanilla-kernel modules. It is
important to compile them in you kernel beforehand in order to have the
kernel include some needed symbols.
http://www.synce.org/index.php/Connecting_your_Windows_Mobile_2005_device_via_USB_(usb-rndis-lite)

Also, remember to compile odccm with desktop integration. HAL and dbus
should be running when you start odccm. dmesg should tell that there
is a new rndis device when you plug in your WM5 PDA.

Portage probably left a dir names /var/db/pkg/games-fps/-MERGING-nexuiz-*. 
Simply renaming that dir to remove the -MERGING- allows you to unmerge 
whatever was already merged...

Hi,
Great answer !! I understand that I must use the subversion If I would like
to have a chance to make something ;-)
I verify by two times, I've CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER set to =m, so I think
it's ok.
Other thing, I use dccm bc occm isn't provided by Gentoo distrib...
rndis-driver...I don't understand You might even have to delete the modules
that
the kernel generated in order to use the usb-rndis-lite ones, because
they will have the same name as the vanilla-kernel modules. It is
important to compile them in you kernel beforehand in order to have the
kernel include some needed symbols. but I'll look for at the link that you
give me.

I thank you, and I'll try this soon! Do you think I must unmerge my synce
previous installation before to use subversion ? Or the subversion
compilation scratchs my present installation ?

Big thanks !!

Yep.

When you install usb-rndis-lite (after checking it out with svn and
compiling it), you may find that the modules have the same name as
those which were compiled from kernel sources. usb-rndis-lite will put
its module in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra, I think. Because the
kernel puts its own modules in /lib/modules/.../kernel/driver/usb/net
(or similar, can't check right now), there will be a naming collision.
This might lead into a situation where the new usb-rndis-lite drivers
are never loaded because the kernel's own drivers are loaded first.
However, the kernel's own driver don't support WM5 right now, AFAIK.

 Other thing, I use dccm bc occm isn't provided by Gentoo distrib...

odccm will be available from subversion. I think it is definately
preferred over the others.

 I thank you, and I'll try this soon! Do you think I must unmerge my

It will probably work, but watch out to always call the right utility.
Maybe you'll run into problems with the concurrent versions of
librapi/libsynce/synce.

Just ask if you run into problems during following the wiki's recipe!

 I'll add this to the list of things I learned today. Apologies for the

no inconvenience here, but others on the mailinglist have no doubt

 I am now using a VESA-compatible modeline for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not sure
 about the last one). I just pasted it from ddcxinfo-knoppix, knowing
 the monitor would work with these settings.
that looks good. the @75 is just part of the arbitrary modeline name,
but actually refers to the refresh rate being used - a nice, fliker
free 75Hz (or kHz, whichever it is i can't rememver)
 One more question, though. If I switch back to my older, smaller
 monitor and forget to change the modeline, will it get fried? I seem
 to see this warning quite often.
I have seen that warning too, but I haven't yet been able to actually
break a monitor like that.  I think the current technology (circa early
to mid 90s and up) no longer has this problem.  However, don't take it
from me as fact, but a guess correlating with the experiences I have
had.  Usually, newer monitors simply show an 'out of range' box on the
screen, and older ones show an image composed entirely of quickly
waving gray black and white horizontal lines; the monitor in this case
has always happily performed afterwords just fine at supported
resolutions.  

there is one thing i would mention though.  You know how as monitors
wear out they get blurrier and blurrer, and image quality decreases?
Well, setting the refresh rate too high on some older, cheaper
monitors seems to result in a much accellerated blurification process.
 Thanks for the help,
 Vlad

[gentoo-user] Firebird version on the Portage

2007-03-01 Thread Fabrício L. Ribeiro


When I try emerge -pv firebird, I can know that the Firebird version
that would be emerged is 1.5.3-r1. Is this ok.

But I need to know if the version of Firebird on the Portage is a
ClassicServer or SuperServer, two different modes of running Firebird.

Anyone knows?

Thanks!

[gentoo-user] gnucash 2.0.4 guile upgrade conflict

2007-03-01 Thread Chris Bare

I have gnucash 2.0.4 installed, and when trying to do my normal emerge sync;
emerge -uD world, I get a conflict with guile

('ebuild', '/', 'dev-scheme/guile-1.6.7', 'merge') pulled in by
  ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-scheme/slib-3.1.1', 'merge')

('ebuild', '/', 'dev-scheme/guile-1.8.1-r1', 'nomerge') (no parents)

apparently gnucash requires guile 1.8.1 while slib requires guile 1.6.7.
unfortunately, gnucash also requires slib, so I seem to be stuck.

Has anyone figure out a work-around for this, or do I just need to wait for
the devels to resolve it? I realize gnucash 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 are ~x86 so this
is one of the risks I take, but they have some important bug fixes.

 I think so. When I tried it using the (masked) version that is in
 Portage, it failed miserably.

  I verify by two times, I've CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER set to =m, so I
  think it's ok.

 Yep.

  rndis-driver...I don't understand You might even have to delete the
  modules that
  the kernel generated in order to use the usb-rndis-lite ones, because
  they will have the same name as the vanilla-kernel modules. It is
  important to compile them in you kernel beforehand in order to have
  the kernel include some needed symbols. but I'll look for at the
  link that you give me.

 When you install usb-rndis-lite (after checking it out with svn and
 compiling it), you may find that the modules have the same name as
 those which were compiled from kernel sources. usb-rndis-lite will put
 its module in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra, I think. Because the
 kernel puts its own modules in /lib/modules/.../kernel/driver/usb/net
 (or similar, can't check right now), there will be a naming collision.
 This might lead into a situation where the new usb-rndis-lite drivers
 are never loaded because the kernel's own drivers are loaded first.
 However, the kernel's own driver don't support WM5 right now, AFAIK.

  Other thing, I use dccm bc occm isn't provided by Gentoo distrib...

 odccm will be available from subversion. I think it is definately
 preferred over the others.

  I thank you, and I'll try this soon! Do you think I must unmerge my
  synce previous installation before to use subversion ? Or the
  subversion compilation scratchs my present installation ?

 It will probably work, but watch out to always call the right utility.
 Maybe you'll run into problems with the concurrent versions of
 librapi/libsynce/synce.

 Just ask if you run into problems during following the wiki's recipe!

Iain,
  In principle I agree with you but specifics dictated the outcome this time.

1) I really didn't understand how to get the debugging stuff in there
and actually working. Learning would have taken time.

2) My dad, an almost 79 year old Gentoo user, was traveling and
returning home today. I Wanted him to have email.

3) Yes, emerge -e world takes time but requires very little attention
so I am free to try to earn a living. I had only one digest mismatch
in the rebuild. Other than that one stoppage the process went
uninterrupted while I got other things done.

  I'm thinking that what I do need to do is learn to get debugging
info but I can experiment with that on my machine instead of his. I
worry that something basic will go wrong and because the machine is
300 miles away it would have to get shipped to me. If I work with my
own machines first I'll have a better idea what's safe and what works.

  Now what I need to do is spend a little time learning more about
debugging symbols and the tools required to make sense of them. Keep
in mind that I am a user, not an IT guy, not a developer, not even a
CS major. I only need to know enough to provide information to helpful
folks who need it. I'll go work on that over the next few weeks maybe.

Cheers and thanks!

[gentoo-user] iptraf vs iptables (mangle access)

2007-03-01 Thread CapSel


I'm trying to count bandwidth and number of packets on my router with rules
like:

iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -j stats
iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j stats

iptables -t mangle -A stats -p tcp -s $ip -j ACCEPT
iptables -t mangle -A stats -p udp -s $ip -j ACCEPT
iptables -t mangle -A stats -p icmp -s $ip -j ACCEPT

iptables -t mangle -A stats -p tcp -d $ip -j ACCEPT
iptables -t mangle -A stats -p udp -d $ip -j ACCEPT
iptables -t mangle -A stats -p icmp -d $ip -j ACCEPT

Chain stats has policy set to ACCEPT.

My script reads these values every minute and sets them to zero.
The problem is that numbers of packets are more than twice greater than
iptraf shows, but bandwidth seems to be correct. Of course I divide those
numbers by 60 to get value per second.

Why this difference is so big, what could I done wrong?

Monolithic or split ebuilds provide a functional kde environment and split 
ebuilds are the new hotness that should, at least IMO, be used by 
default.  When (e.g.) all the split ebuilds pulled in by kdebase-meta are 
installed you have the same functionality as installing kdebase; so if 
beryl (or others) have a hard dependency on a monolithic package that 
package is broken and need to be fixed to work with the split ebuilds.  
(Changing the 'kde-base/kdebase' atom to '|| ( kde-base/kdebase-meta 
kdebase/kdebase)' is a start...)

Your problem is that you are trying to mix them.  That is difficult or 
impossible and is AFAIK not supported.  Either remove all your monolithic 
packages and install the split equivalents (the -meta packages help here) 
or remove all your split packages and install all the monolithic packages 
you need.

It's possible  you may need to run revdep-rebuild (from the gentoolkit 
package) and/or reinstall keryl after you fix your kde issues for it to 
work.

Quoting [1]: Split and monolithic ebuilds can be mixed freely. The only

So emerging say kdebase (monolithic) and kpdf (split but not from kdebase) at 
the same time is quite supported. It just prevents you from emerging either 
of kde-meta or kde since they are all split or all monolithic respectively. 
I'm in favour of removing the monolithic ebuilds too though. They seem to

Sweet.  I didn't know the Gentoo devs were that cool.  The restriction is 
only logical.

Agreed.  It's always possible for ebuild developers to depend on the -meta 
package until they can determine what individual libraries/apps/etc. they 
need from it.  Unfortunately, until we get a good confcache-style program, 
emerging the -meta ebuild does take a bit longer than emerging the 
monolithic version.  (Yes, I konw, this time is saved later on when you 
don't have to compile everything again for a later release.)

SNIP a bunch of use flags...

I know, I haven't updated for a while.  I was trying to update
Portage, and coreutils was listed as the necessary package to emerge
first.


What's the output of `emerge -pv coreutils`?


Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N] sys-apps/coreutils-6.4  -acl +nls (-selinux) -static 0 kB


please show the output of either `equery check coreutils` or `qcheck coreutils`.


BLANK.  I ran it, and it doesn't give any output at all.

 Next, there's the issue of saved passwords.  Do you know which file
 they're in?
 
 Thanks for the tip.  

  I see that others have already answered that specific question.  In
case you need to move more files over, there's a mozillazine knowledge
base article about that at...
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Migrating_settings_to_a_new_profile

  When you do move stuff over, backup your original new settings, in
case you copy over the corrupted file that caused you problems with
Firefox in the first place.
