Re: [gentoo-user] Searching for a client 802.1x

Something like http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/ but not limited to wireless networks. Hi Valerio, I think you'll find the above program does work on wired networks - check the README file and search for the text 'wired' (linked off the main page above): http://hostap.epitest.fi/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/hostap/wpa_supplicant/README?rev=HEADcontent-type=text/plain They give a few examples on how 802.1x can be used with wpa_supplicant over a wired connection (note that I haven't done this myself).

Re: [gentoo-user] Help with nvidia fake raid.
Allan Spagnol Comar wrote: Hi list, I have been trying for 5 days now to install a gentoo system on a nvidia mother board with fake raid, I already have a windows system on the machine that needs the raid and I want to install gentoo on it. I have followed instructions on http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Gentoo_with_NVRAID_using_dmraid I was succeeded on installing gentoo base system and grub :-), but, when I boot the systems ask for real_root /dev/mapper/nv_ device I had try the hard way, open a shell when it ask for real_root and on /dev/mapper is just control. I had try with genkernel and on the same situation on /dev/mapper/ has control and my disk, but none of the partitions. I am so close of making this work, but is really frustrating get stuck in something like that for so long. Thanks for attention, Allan Hi Allan, I believe I had pretty much the same problem as you, finding that the initial install went fine, but trying to boot with the new kernel (after using genkernel with the dmraid option) failed. I found the issue lay with Linux kernel 2.6.16 - I read a post somewhere (which I have since lost track of) that hinted a bug/feature of 2.6.16 meant some partitioning schemes would fail to be detected correctly under NVRaid. The solution for me (so far) has been to run 2.6.15, at least until 2.6.17 goes Gentoo-stable. In other words, I have masked 2.6.16. Hope that helps, Dave. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Depending on your RAID configuration, NVRAID could make use of dm-stripe, and thus you'll run into issues. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Re: [gentoo-user] suspend2 problem
Pablasso wrote: if you have your video driver with dri/drm (3d acceleration) activated, thats the problem, suspend2 currently does not work along with 3d acceleration so you have to choose beetween them. Hi Pablasso, Perhaps I misunderstand, but suspend2 has long worked alongside 3d acceleration. In my experience, some of the proprietary graphics drivers (ATI's fglrx for example) do not work at all. However I use the X.org included Radeon drivers (and standard Radeon DRI kernel model) and have had no problems whatsoever. It could be a different story for the card in your machine (a Rage II by the looks of it). Cheers, Dave. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
Re: [gentoo-user] cups is broken

Thanks for your help. John Blinka Hi John, Just a quick thought - a thought quite possibly well and truly off track - could it be related to mime-types? Perhaps the CUPS web server has a problem recognising the HTML mime-type and thus is not sending them in the appropriate format (and with appropriate HTTP headers)?

I remember doing this a long time ago... I think I installed the Mozilla suite on the Windows box, and used Mozilla Mail to import the Outlook files. I seem to remember that Mozilla on Windows can make use of Outlook's own PST handling DLLs or something, as the Mozilla on Windows provides this import from Outlook/PST, while Mozilla on Linux does not. Once the emails are imported into Mozilla Mail, copy the actual mail directory (something like C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Mozilla\Mail\ - you'll need to have a bit of a search) to the Linux box, and use the KMail import options to process it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Font sizes very small in KDE
Holly Bostick wrote: Stewart Taylor schreef: Hi All I've got a problem with the display under KDE. I've just installed Gentoo for the first time. Under KDE the font sizes are very small compared with what they should be. Compared with the same hardware under Suse 8.0 all text displays a little over half the size. this affects KDE apps and non KDE apps the same. Firefox text on menus and the like is so small that it is unusable. On one of my own programs the 14 point text displays as if it were 8-9 point. I have a Matrox Millennium G400 graphics card. I've tried all the settings i can find and have tried different kernel modules settings without success. The info I found on the web left me confused as it seems that this card may have different names in the UK and US. I'm in the UK. TIA Stewart So the situation is that basically too many cooks spoil the soup. At least, that's the *first* problem, which we'd have to clear away before we could be sure that your video card is doing what it should (which I think it probably is; I have a G400 Max which I used till about a year or so ago under Linux, and it was really the most trouble-free card I've used). Hope this helps. Holly Hi Stewart, If you are running KDE and Gnome together, I sometimes run into the same troubles as you. Generally, as Holly says, the problem is with Gnome/KDE not playing well together (assuming you have them both installed). However, the way I get around it is to: a) start up gnome-font-properties and choose the fonts which look best. b) edit your ~/.xprofile to contain: #!/bin/sh /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon c) make sure the ~/.xprofile script is executable chmod u+x ~/.xprofile d) now log back into X, fire up kcontrol and adjust the KDE fonts in Appearance Themes-Fonts Hopefully this will be of some help. It seems to work for me, so good luck! Dave. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Ian Hi Ian, If you log into Fluxbox (or any other window manager), open a terminal (e.g. xterm), and then run kcontrol you'll find you can change the window decoration back to something a little more stable. Alternatively, you could delete ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc All the best, Dave. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
