   When you generated the kernel, did you build all modules necessary. In

  If you meen CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STATE=y then yes it's compiled in

  the
  following?
 
  CONFIG_NETFILTER=y
  CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_ENABLED=y

 You found your problem, then.  When you use iptables -m state, it loads the
 state module.  Since it's not compiled as a module, it won't load.  Either
 change it to module in the kernel or remove the -m state (I think I tried
 once compiling into the kernel and dropping the -m state, but it didn't
 work).

I found the problem, CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4=y has to be set as well (no need 
to compile anything as modules).

Re: [gentoo-user] Thunderbird 2.0 browser fonts are tiny

2007-04-22 Thread Daniel Pielmeier



Since upgrading to Thunderbird 2.0.0.0, the browser font used to
display trees (folders, message lists) is tiny, so tiny that (a) I
have difficulty reading it, and (b) nothing is rendered in bold.

How can I change the size of the fonts in Thunderbird's browser?


Go to Edit - Preferences - Go To Tab Display - Go To Tab Formatting
- Fonts  Encoding

Here you can edit your message fonts. You can also specify a minimum 
font size, which is probably what you want.


Im don't no if this works for the account-trees too.

[gentoo-user] Problems with HAL

2007-04-22 Thread Christian Herzyk
Hi all,

I have a problem with external devices.

When I insert a CD/DVD into my DVD-drive I get the KDE dialog asking if I want 
to open a window ...
If I klick yes, (or try to mount the CD from konquerors media:/ site) I get 
this error:
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to 
this recipient, see message bus configuration file
(rejected message had interface org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume 
member Mount error name (unset) destination org.freedes
ktop.Hal)
On the console the user can mount the drive!

Whenever I plug in my camera (Canon Powershot G2, supporte by gphoto2) I get 
this dialog as well but neither gphoto2 nor digikam will find the camera when 
started as normal user, root can download pictures with gphoto2.

Now I got a new Creative Zen Vision M (mp3 player) it uses mtp and libmtp is 
installed, as well as amarok with the needed useflags.
mtp-detect as user returns nothing, as root it returns the expected data.
Neither Amarok nor gnomad2 find the player, no matter if user or root starts 
them.
 
So to me this seems like a problem with user rights or HAL in general, but I 
do not know where to look for it. 
 
 I would be very thankful for hints, as I am eager to use my brand new Vision 
M!!!

  You need to define the encryption mode and module as suggested above.

 I have tried that as well and have copied settings and iwconfig lines
 from other systems that are working perfectly, so I don't believe that
 is the problem. I think it's something with the module itself, I just
 have no idea what.

All I can think is to remerge ndiswrapper (can't recall if you have already 
done this).  BTW, this is definitely required if you have just compiled a new

This (and possibly haldaemon) solved my problems with the USB devices. The 
camera can be accessed now and mtp-detect now reports the mp3 player.

The CD part is solved as well.

I couldn't see a 'quiet' mode for dhcpcd, but you could always try
filtering out dhcpcd messages from syslog.  Here's an example, but
don't hold it against me if you have to tweak it a bit.

# /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
# we will filter out dhcpcd messages
source src ( unix-stream(/dev/log); internal(); pipe(/proc/kmsg); };
destination messages { file(/var/log/messages);};
filter dhcpcd_filter { not program(dhcpcd); };
log { source(src); filter(dhcpcd_filter); destination(messages); };

Hi,

so this is the good part:

User can send files using mtp-sendtr

Unfortunately the frontends I installed (gnomad2 and kzenexplorer) and amarok 
say that there is no jukebox on the USB bus.

Amarok hints to run : dcop kded mediamanager fullList 

This returns:

 KDE works with it there as well though so I guess it doesn't hurt

You can use pmount to mount a device from a terminal, which is what KDE
uses anyway. The main difference that an fstab entry makes is that it can
change the mount point that would otherwise be used.

 I also noticed that KDE can read my Canon camera like it is a drive now
 though.  Not sure how that happened.  I'm not complaining though.

KDE has been able to do that for a long time. It's not actually mounting
it as a drive, because Canon cameras don't use usb-storage, but the
camera:/ ioslave allows you to use it as if it was, via libgphoto2.

  If that's in fact what is happening every

or perhaps your dhcp server is giving out 60s leases?  I had a router do

it.

  The second line seems to

I would guess that your dhcpcd is doing the right thing.  Who owns the
dhcp server?  Is it yours?  How is it set up?  Is it a PC or off the
shelf box?  I would be looking there for the answer.

PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES=info warn error log
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM=save mail
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI=[EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost

And everything else is commented out (uses defaults).
I'm running postfix, which appears to be working, and forwards my local mail to
that same mail URI: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What should I be looking for?

 How about pasting the actual error output plus some twenty lines

  I've look at permission on / and they look normal to me.

 How about pasting the used ls command and its output?  How is anyone
 to diagnose your problem when you're not showing any hard data?

 And while at it, paste the output of emerge --info too.

Well, the problem turned out not to be portage related at all.  Somehow, my 
root system was *acting* as if it were mounted ReadOnly.  mount said 
otherwise.   Rebooting (wince) corrected the problem.

Thanks

[gentoo-user] OT - Can't offload pictures from camera

2007-04-22 Thread Michael Sullivan
I have a Kodak EasyShare CX7300.  I have gphoto2-2.3.1 installed.  I'm
currently running kernel 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 .  In the past, I have used
the command # gphoto2 -P [1] to offload picture from this camera.
Until today, it has always worked.  Today I tried to offload pictures
from the camera and I get this:

camille ~ # gphoto2 -P [1]
   
*** Error ***  
An error occurred in the io-library ('Bad parameters'): Could not find
USB device (vendor 0x40a, product 0x578). Make sure this device is
connected to the computer.
*** Error (-2: 'Bad parameters') ***   

For debugging messages, please use the --debug option.
Debugging messages may help finding a solution to your problem.
If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto
developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED], please run
gphoto2 as follows:

env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt -P [1]

Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments.

This seems to suggest that the camera is not properly connected to the
computer.  Yet, dmesg says:

usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 11
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Is this something that I can fix myself, or should I report it as a bug?
