Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Xorg-server and my mouse
Dale: Did my etc-update and went to log into KDE. No keyboard. No mouse. No nothing. I knew the new xorg-server update was going to make me change a few things but I thought I would be ABLE to change the thing. *g* Today 'emerge --sync' followed by 'emerge -uDN world' changed my xorg to 1.5. After 'startx' i had my usual icewm screen but no working mouse or keyboard. I had to unplug the computer then add softlevel=boot to get to where I could even fix the stupid thing. I preferred ssh from another computer. ;) While I was trying to recover and reading, it appears I have to update my kernel for this thing to work. That depends. Look in 'sudo make menuconfig' at Device Drivers-Input device support for Event interface. If available and unchecked, select it and recompile your kernel. I had done so because it was mentioned in the 'Xorg 1.5 Upgrade Guide', http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.5-upgrade-guide.xml Wasn't enough, though. - Xorg.0.log - (EE) Failed to load module evdev (module does not exist, 0) --- But 'modprobe evdev' succeeded. *g* After pulling out some hairs and examining 'emerge -pv xorg-server' closer i changed - /etc/make.conf - INPUT_DEVICES=keyboard mouse to - /etc/make.conf - INPUT_DEVICES=keyboard mouse evdev --- and recompiled xorg-server. Now i had working mouse and keyboard under X. Then i noticed that my german keyboard layout was gone. The Upgrade Guide was not very clear in this point. At least for me. I have the same problem for my French keyboard layout, so here is what I do: Change my section InputDevice in /etc/X11/xorg.conf from: Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option AutoRepeat 500 30 Option XkbRules xorg Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout fr EndSection To this: Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Option AutoRepeat 500 30 Option CoreKeyboard Option XkbLayout fr Option XkbModel evdev Option XkbRulesxorg Driver evdev EndSection After that I have to find the fdi file for my keyboard and change it according to my xorg.conf: Here is what I have in the fdi file: $ nano /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? !-- -*- SGML -*- -- deviceinfo version=0.2 device match key=info.capabilities contains=input.keymap append key=info.callouts.add type=strlisthal-setup-keymap/append /match match key=info.capabilities contains=input.keys merge key=input.xkb.rules type=stringxorg/merge !-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to keyboard otherwise). -- merge key=input.xkb.model type=stringkeyboard/merge match key=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name string=Linux merge key=input.xkb.model type=stringevdev/merge /match merge key=input.xkb.layout type=stringfr/merge merge key=input.xkb.variant type=string / /match /device /deviceinfo After that killing X, then restarting hald daemon and when I restart X I have my French Layout back. Hope it's help Time for a break, so i decided to disable hal for a while, drink some coffee and smoke some pipes. ;) - /etc/X11/xorg.conf - Section ServerFlags Option AutoAddDevices false EndSection --- Now i have commented out these lines because i found a way for my german keyboard layout. Hm, just noticed that i have also to do something for my compose key. Sigh. Hartmut = * Site web: http://www.drakonix.fr * =
Re: [gentoo-user] mp3/ogg editing
Hello, I did you try Audacity? Hi, I am looking for a ogg/mp3 editing softwarei (gui), which is able to cut/append such streams without loss due to reencoding. What software is worth trying ? Thank you very much for your help in advance! Kind regards, mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.

Re: [gentoo-user] mp3/ogg editing
Hello, I tought this one decodes before editing ??? This is what I found in audacity homepage: Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems. So I think he is able to edit sounds, you just open your file, then apply some audio filter on it, cut a part of it tweak volume etc... But perhaps I have not well understood your question (my english is not so good ), and maybe I put you in a wrong way. Fred Elno [EMAIL PROTECTED] [08-11-29 16:21]: Hello, I did you try Audacity?

Re: [gentoo-user] Atheros chip with airodump-ng
Hi All, I have been experimenting with my wireless cardbus and cannot get it to work with airodump-ng: From lshw: *-network description: Wireless interface product: AR5212 802.11abg NIC vendor: Atheros Communications, Inc. physical id: 3 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:04:00.0 logical name: wifi0 version: 01 serial: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list logical ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath_pci ip=XX.XX.XXX.XXX latency=168 maxlatency=28 mingnt=10 module=ath_pci multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11g lspci -v gives: 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) Subsystem: PROXIM Inc Device 0a10 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 11 Memory at 4400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: ath_pci Kernel modules: ath_pci I am using net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.4 When I run airmon-ng it shows my ath0 interface: # airmon-ng Interface Chipset Driver wifi0 Atheros madwifi-ng ath0Atheros madwifi-ng VAP (parent: wifi0) Running 'airmon-ng start wifi0' it creates a new VAP ath1 and puts it in Monitor mode. So far so good, but running airodump-ng shows no data being captured. Trying to stop ath0 (in case it interferes) shuts down /etc/init.d/net.ath0, although I still get ath1 shown in iwconfig. Have I missed something basic here? Do I need perhaps to add net.ath1 - /etc/init.d/net.lo in the same way that I have done for ath0? -- Regards, Mick Hi Mick, I have te same thing when using kismet, after starting kismet if I use airmon-ng to look at my interfaces, I have this: $ airmon-ng wifi0 Atheros madwifi-ng ath0Atheros madwifi-ng VAP (parent: wifi0) kis0Atheros madwifi-ng VAP (parent: wifi0) Then if I want to shootdown kis0, I will use airmon-ng like this: $ airmon-ng stop kis0 And kis0 will be destroyed. So I think you can destroy any child of wifi0 by doing this with airmon-ng For enabling monitor mode I do like you: $ airmon-ng start wifi0 It will create a new child of wifi0, ath1 in my case. Then starting 'airodump-ng ath1' will let me capture packet coming on ath1, if of course any AP are active in my neighbourhood To destroy ath1 you do like for destroying kis0 $ airmon-ng stop ath1 Hope it help http://www.drakonix.fr
Re: [gentoo-user] AutoFS with LDAP
Yes I also use autofs with openldap. My setup is as this: the PDC is running on a gentoo box and provide system authentification with openldap to windows client and also gentoo client, I also use samba for filesharing between client and server. Because I don't want my users being able to see at other users home directory I use autofs which mount only user logged in home directory on the client. I am not a specialist in Openldap so I don't know if I will be able to help you, but if it can help, I can give you this link : http://www.drakonix.fr/index.php?id=gentootab=21pid=26#t03 It point to my setup documentation and perhaps you will found usefull information. You will also find some links to other wiki's and doc which talk about this subject. Oh I forgot it is written in French but all the command used and file configuration are written And excuse me for my poor English ;) Hope it's help Fred Folks, Has anyone used AutoFS with the automounter information coming from LDAP? I have a LDAP server with the necessary maps setup. I have a number of LDAP clients on Debian successfully using this. However, I cannot get this to work with Gentoo. When I try to start autofs I get a message saying failed. I have also tried starting by handing using the automount command that is running on my Debian box, however, it just exits. The /usr/lib/autofs/autofs-ldap-auto-master returns the correct information. However, automounter will not start. Mike. http://www.drakonix.fr
