[gentoo-user] recommendation for a wireless G Broadband Router
I have a linksys (Cisco) WRT54G, which works fine except for one point. I have been unable to find in the documentation how to tell its dhcp server that mac address X should get IP addr Y. I am prepared to accept the deserved shame if someone tells me how to do this. Failing the above, I am seriously considering buying another router that has this capability. It is frustrating not to know the IP address for machines on our home network (especially the NFS server). I would appreciate any recommendations. The device should have wired ethernet input (from our cable modem) and 4 wired ethernet outputs, plus wireless support, and a dhcp server. thanks, allan -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Another vote for Tomato, as its the best firmware I've used so far. But, if you have a version 5 or latter, then you're stuck with dd-wrt micro edition. Mine says ver 2 on the device and the web page says the firmware version is v2.02.7. So I will look into tomato I use a WRT54GL (L model is, IMHO, the best). My wife has a newer linksys. Maybe hers is an L. She does use IPC so wouldn't notice the IP addresses changing. Thank you everyone for the advice. allan -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

It is to avoid the need for Firefox 2 installed from source, which is a problem if you use Firefox 3 or firefox-bin. the xulrunner flag make GnuCash, and other apps, build against xunrunner instead of the firefox 2 headers. Also, if you're going to use FF3, with xulrunner, FF3 will compile against xulrunner, thus reducing the FF3 build to time to a few minutes, as the LONG build already happened with xulrunner... I see. When FF3 becomes stable, I will turn on xulrunner. Thanks for the explanations. allan -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] udev problem with USB disk (SOLVED ?)
Thank you alan and Q. The problem seems to be that I was trying to mount (a partition of) the usb disk at boot time with localmount. The localmount init script is run before the usb filesystem (usbfs) is mounted. I have now listed it as noauto in fstab and mount it in local.start. But I did learn a few points in reading several doc (especially drake's udev guide). The docs suggest placing local rules in 10-local.rules since that prevents them from being overwritten by later generic rules. I tried moving it to 99-local.rules; nothing changed. The URL referenced by Q suggests that you can only use one section of output from udevinfo to construct a rule. In fact you can use two, the original dev node and ONE parent. Thus I could include the serial number as a matching criteria. Again thanks for the help. allan -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] udev problem with USB disk
I am having trouble with my external USB disk.
I have the following entry in fstab:
/dev/usbhd1 /mnt/b ext3 defaults 0 0
I have written /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
DRIVERS==usb, ATTRS{serial}==335144304641374D,
ATTRS{product}==ST94811U2-RK, ATTRS{manufacturer}==Seagate,
SYMLINK+=usbhd%n
When I boot into single user mode I see the following near the end of
the messages
Mounting local filesystems ...
/dev/bus/usb/001/002 is not a block device
Some local filesystem failed to mount.
Mounting USB filesystem (usbfs)
At this point ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/002 yields
crw-rw-r--
ls /mnt/b shows that the mount did not occur.
But if I now manually type umount -a
all is well (/mnt/b has the expected files)
As a work-around I added mount -a to local.start.
I am a beginner with udev, but it looks like usbfs
is being mounted too late.
thanks for any help.

Re: [gentoo-user] Speed up `du'
At Sat, 24 May 2008 16:49:09 -0500 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there any way to speed up the du command? I mean short of having cron run it on target directories and store results. (not really speeding up but at least not having to wait for a result) I've seen various mention of du being slow but don't recall any mentions of how to speed it up. I use Reiserfs with default sizes. In some situations like a large cache of nntp messages of several GB. I might wait 5-10 minutes or more for du to get the size of the directory. Are there other file systems that can return a result of `du' faster? I'm curious how `df' computes sizes so much quicker. Even after rm'ing a large amount of data... `df' sees the difference right away. I can't help with speeding up du, but can explain df's speed. This information is kept in the superblock. Each operation that changes size updates the superblock and df just reads the result. (In a sense it is like your cron soln above for du :-) .) Or maybe there is some other tool or technique that can quickly tell me the size of a directory or set of directories. allan -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Here is how to do it for a partition, in my case /dev/sda2 is the active partition and it is a windows partition (remember that in grub this would be (hd0,1), not sd and not 2).

There are two SLOTs for rhino - 1.5 and 1.6
OpenOffice explicitly DEPENDS on the 1.5 SLOT for rhino if you
have java in USE. You probably have that so a deep world emerge will
pull rhino-1.5* in.
You don't currently have rhino installed so when you issue emerge
rhino, portage will check for the latest one and install it. It just
so happens that in this case, the latest is not the same SLOT that OOo
wants.
Crystal clear. Thanks for the lucid and careful explanation.

Thanks for sending it. sincerely, allan I recompile / downgraded libpcre - didn't help; next I downgraded guile-1.8.2 to guile-1.6.8 (followed by revdep-rebild) so two packages were rebuild: dev-libs/g-wrap app-office/gnucash Now, gnucash is starting normally no more segmentation errors But I'm not sure if this is the solution since on my Gentoo backup gnucash is working OK with guile-1.8.2 Maybe I'll follow the advise of jstead1 from his post: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-601976-highlight-gnucash.html Another problem right now I have is that udept package command: dep -k package_name is not reporting installed packages correctly anymore. In addition when I re-emerged php I did not receive any email notification about this package. Next, I upgraded to kernel linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r8 and my when I start or shutdown I get a blank screen. Going back to my rant, three years ago if somebody ask me about Linux I would recommend Gentoo to anybody it was relatively stable and easy to use; if somebody ask me about Gentoo a year ago I wouldn't say anything; if somebody ask me about Linux now I would recommend Ubuntu or Debian. The reason is that I upgrade every week and almost every second or third week something is broken, I have to hunt for fixes and solution and keep recompiling when my wife enjoy watching the TV; so right now Gentoo Linux is steeling time from my family - Linux stability with Gentoo gone! Thanks for all your help. I have had less trouble than you. I actually upgrade nearly every day. I was bitten by the big problem (I forget the package) a few months ago and before that might have had a year without trouble. It does look as though this time the response to the bug was pretty good. I will try the fix mentioned there The following combination should work: =dev-scheme/guile-1.8.2 =dev-libs/g-wrap-1.9.6-r3 =dev-scheme/slib-3.1.1-r1 Install in this order again. Then reemerge gnucash and report back. and report back. Once again, thanks for your help. allan -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

in ~/share/financial/gnucash I have checking.gnucash and a large
number of checking.gnucash.{xac, log} files
I believe the xac are the backups so I moved one to gnucash.checking
but again, gnucash fails to start.
Even though I knew it wouldn't help, I rebooted as well
If I try to start gnucash from a gnome-terminal the following appears

I am basically out of ideas, but REALLY want my gnucash back.

Re: [gentoo-user] Permissions, permissions
At Mon, 15 Oct 2007 23:24:15 +0100 Mick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, This is a simple question but I'm getting tired and can't think straight with this permissions problem: I am trying to create a directory within which two users will be able to save and delete documents. This directory is only meant to be accessible/readable by these two users. I created directory TEST, under /var/www/html. This contains subdirectories TEST1, TEST2, TEST3. Each subdirectory contains other files. I set the permissions recursively to apache:ftp. Both users are members of group ftp. I chmod -R g+w. When I create a new subdirectory and save a file in it I noticed that it is mick:wheel instead of mick:ftp. How do I set it up so that newly created directories/files inherit the parent group ownership? There are two possibilities for newly created subdirectories and files in this directory. 1. Same group as the creator. 2. Same group as the parent directory. If my memory is correct this is a bsd vs sysV distinction. Nowadays you get to choose the behavior you want. Since you want behavior 2 you want the set-group-ID bit set on the parent and then newly created subdirectories and files in this directory will inherit the group from the parent. So you want to chmod +2000 parent-directory The full story is in the info page Node: Directory Setuid and Setgid I just read it to check my memory and found out that apparently some systems use the set-user-ID bit so the page suggests chmod +6000 parent-directory which sets both. Also this is a gnu extension and not required by POSIX. allan gottlieb new york university -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It also told you to remove lib{crypto,ssl}.so.0.9.7 after running those

against libcrypto.so.0.9.7 and the hack (preserve_old_lib from eutils.eclass)
that the openssl ebuild uses to preserve those libraries until you've done
this makes it look like they belong to the new version of openssl (even
though they really don't)..
As always Bo's reply solved the problem completely. I apologize for

Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg.conf changes and dual screen setup
At Mon, 10 Sep 2007 00:33:35 +0200 Daniel Pielmeier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: the update to xorg-server-1.3 broke my dual-screen setup. It creates a virtual screen size with the same size of the primary monitor for the second monitor which is my TV. So i can only reach a zone with 800x600 on the second device, even scrolling within the virtual screen is impossible. I want 1280x1024 for the primary and 800x600 for the secondary Monitor which displays the complete desktop on any screen. I also had breakage. I have an 1680x1050 laptop and a 1600x1200 external monitor. When I have the monitor connected, it is all I use. When I don't have the monitor connected, I naturally use the laptop screen. I will give my fix below, but to understand it, I think it is helpful to know what I did previously. Previously, when I went into X (gnome) I have a shell script (~/bin/Xinitialize) run by gnome-session that included xrandr -s 2(the 2 is from memory and might be wrong) this worked because when I had the ext monitor in I made sure to do fn-f8 before the system went into X. This insured that X came up on the monitor and size #2 was it turns out 1600x1200 (thank you 915resolution, for enabling 1600x120 all together). When the ext monitor was not in, by dumb luck, size number 2 was 1680x1050 so it all worked. With the new server, the dumb luck disappeared, but a better xrandr appeared to take its place (the real improvement is that the server supports 1.2 RandR). Now my ~/bin/Xinitialize begins #!/bin/sh sleep 2 if xrandr | grep VGA connected ; then xrandr --verbose --output VGA --mode 1600x1200 --output LVDS --off else xrandr --verbose --output VGA --off --output LVDS --mode 1680x1050 fi xset s reset# above seems to blank the screen sleep 3 This sets 1600x1200 and turns off the laptop screen when the ext monitor is in. It sets 1680x1050 and turns off driving the external monitor connector (which may well be a useless step) when there is no ext monitor connected. Perhaps something similar will help you.

You'll lose most of your settings but if that helps you could move the items from the backup to the automatically created new ~/.gconf one by one and eventually spot the bad one. And there's also ~/.gnome2 that could be screwed up. I am doing a similar thing in a different way.

[gentoo-user] new gnome fails except for root
I updated to the new gnome. After battling the expat problem, I was able to get a clean emerge and an empty revdep-rebuild (with Bo's help). But gnome is broken on this system (others have reported similar problems). In my case basically all gnome apps, e.g. panel, gnucash, evolution, gnome-terminal, evince fail when a normal user logs in. With a root login, gnome-terminal fails, but panel, gnucash, evolution seem to work (didn't try evince as root). For a normal user gnome login, I use either a shell in emacs or go to a virtual terminal and start an xterm. In any case when I try to start a gnome app (e.g. gnucash), no output is produced, no window appears, but the app shows up in ps x. I would be very appreciative for any help. thanks in advance, allan gottlieb -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] autoloading ipw3945
My laptop (inspiron 6400) has an intel 3945 wireless chip and hence I
use net-wireless/ipw3945{,d,-ucode}.
If I include ipw3945 in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, I get an
error msg during boot
Failed to load ipw3945
However, everything works fine. Specifically, ifconfig shows that the
wireless network is up.
Certainly, I can live with this situation, but getting a yellow star
during boot seems unclean.
So I tried removing ipw3945.
Naturally, the above error msg is gone.
But now the ipw3945d initscript fails when it attempts to access
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw3945/00*/cmd
The wireless network is not available and cannot be started,
If I now execute
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.20-gentoo-r7/net/wireless/ipw3945.ko
/etc/init.d/ipw3945d restart
/etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart
no errors appear and all is well (wireless works fine).
What is the clean way to do this? Currently I am using the first
method above and averting my eyes when the yellow star is to appear.
thanks,
allan

So maybe they have nothing to do with each other except being launched at the same time. I've been poking through my system and can't find anything that explicitly controls when it starts. I'm using baselayout-1.12.10-r4, ipw3945-1.2.0, ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4 . See if using those versions makes it magically 'just work' for you. I fnot I can poke around more. Well I am running stable x86 so my baselayout is only 1.12.9-r2 and perhaps your newer version loads ipw3945. However, I am a little leery of running unstable baselayout. So I think I'll wait for the new version to become stable. I have filed a note to myself to see if that eliminates the (fairly painless) error message that I now get.

Ideally, the ebuild should cater for copying/symlinking appropriate files, or at least popping up a message at emerge time to tell you to do so manually. Right. Although I have emerged hplip I am not using it. I print through cups using hpjis. Is there a benefit to using hplip and its tools? I believe hplip gives access to all the features, e.g., ink level, but I haven't tried anything like that. The reason I went into this exercise was to get scanning and that was successful.

I still have not been able to install my network-attached hp officejet 7310 using hp-setup (it install fine via cups). The trouble is that scanning doesn't work and various network posts suggest that installing via hp-setup is needed for most of the hp tool and for full functionality of the device.

I have named it ss (for south salem, our home town) Running hp-check produced several errors (full output below) 1. libnetsnmp-devel not found. Is this needed and if so where is it. eix libnetsnmp found nothing. 2. linux standard base LSB support not found 3. Complaint about a different print (nyu, a work machine) 4. Complaint that the officejet is not HPLIP installed. I could not figure out how to use the hp: backend to cups as recommended by hp-check. 5. As noted in the hp-check output, the scanner cannot be found by scanimage -L. I had previusly run scanimage -L manually with the same result. Any help would be appreciated.

The problem seems to be that the BIOS sets the external monitor as the default output device if it is already plugged when the computer is switched on. Unlike my father's notebook, mine doesn't have an option in the BIOS setup to set the internal screen as the default output device. Have you tried booting (with the device plugged in) into single user mode, then trying to convince the system to use the built in screen as the default device (fn-f7 on my machine), and finally exiting the single user shell to go multiuser? (One could also hit fn-f7 while the system has the grub screen displayed and then go straight to multiuser.) I need to use such tricks since my laptop is 1680x1050 while the external monitor is 1600x1200. I find that having the (text) output already directed to the external monitor (mine defaults to internal) prior to xdm/gdm invocation is useful (necessary?) to get 1600x1200 resolution. allan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] superblock write time in future (UTC vs localtime)
In aug 06 bug 142850 was opened. The symptom is the boot message /dev/hda6: Superblock last write time is in the future. FIXED. From the bug report and followups, I gather that early in the boot sequence the system believes the hwclock is in UTC and hence for those of us using localtime to dual boot windows, we have this problem. Some workarounds have been proposed such as having the clock initscript precede checkroot or adding the right number of seconds in the kernel. Alternatively one could learn to live with the warning printed above. I assume a number of you use local time not UTC and wonder how you are dealing with this problem. Since I boot windows *very* rarely, I could switch to UTC and repair the damage after every windows boot. thanks, allan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If at the original site I try scanimage without -L, it faults (see below). thanks in advance for any help, allan ajglap ~ # scanimage *** glibc detected *** scanimage: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0xb7dd8391 *** === Backtrace: = /lib/libc.so.6[0xb7e4abab] /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpaio.so.1(sane_hpaio_open+0x28d)[0xb7dceb09] /usr/lib/libsane.so.1(sane_dll_open+0xde)[0xb7fc1e36] /usr/lib/libsane.so.1(sane_open+0x24)[0xb7fc24c9] scanimage[0x804ba26] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc)[0xb7dff864] scanimage[0x80491e1] === Memory map: 08048000-08051000 r-xp 16:03 803995 /usr/bin/scanimage 08051000-08052000 rw-p 8000 16:03 803995 /usr/bin/scanimage 08052000-08073000 rw-p 08052000 00:00 0 [heap] b7c72000-b7c7b000 r-xp 16:03 670542 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcc_s.so.1 b7c7b000-b7c7c000 rw-p 8000 16:03 670542 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcc_s.so.1 b7c7c000-b7d8f000 r-xp 16:03 1112290/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 b7d8f000-b7da4000 rw-p 00113000 16:03 1112290/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 b7da4000-b7da7000 rw-p b7da4000 00:00 0 b7da7000-b7dc6000 r-xp 16:03 364633 /usr/lib/libhpip.so.0.0.1 b7dc6000-b7dc7000 rw-p 0001e000 16:03 364633 /usr/lib/libhpip.so.0.0.1 b7dc7000-b7dc9000 rw-p b7dc7000 00:00 0 b7dc9000-b7ddf000 r-xp 16:03 364636 /usr/lib/libsane-hpaio.so.1.0.0 b7ddf000-b7de rw-p 00015000 16:03 364636 /usr/lib/libsane-hpaio.so.1.0.0 b7de-b7de2000 rw-p b7de 00:00 0 b7de2000-b7de9000 r-xp 16:03 1112285/usr/lib/libieee1284.so.3.0.4 b7de9000-b7dea000 rw-p 6000 16:03 1112285/usr/lib/libieee1284.so.3.0.4 b7dea000-b7efa000 r-xp 16:03 278468 /lib/libc-2.4.so b7efa000-b7efc000 r--p 0010f000 16:03 278468 /lib/libc-2.4.so b7efc000-b7efe000 rw-p 00111000 16:03 278468 /lib/libc-2.4.so b7efe000-b7f01000 rw-p b7efe000 00:00 0 b7f01000-b7f23000 r-xp 16:03 278469 /lib/libm-2.4.so b7f23000-b7f25000 rw-p 00021000 16:03 278469 /lib/libm-2.4.so b7f25000-b7f36000 r-xp 16:03 278474 /lib/libz.so.1.2.3 b7f36000-b7f37000 rw-p 0001 16:03 278474 /lib/libz.so.1.2.3 b7f37000-b7f55000 r-xp 16:03 1116899/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0 b7f55000-b7f56000 rw-p 0001d000 16:03 1116899/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0 b7f56000-b7f57000 rw-p b7f56000 00:00 0 b7f57000-b7fa6000 r-xp 16:03 375117 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3.8.2 b7fa6000-b7fa8000 rw-p 0004f000 16:03 375117 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3.8.2 b7fa8000-b7fb7000 r-xp 16:03 278472 /lib/libpthread-2.4.so b7fb7000-b7fb8000 r--p e000 16:03 278472 /lib/libpthread-2.4.so b7fb8000-b7fb9000 rw-p f000 16:03 278472 /lib/libpthread-2.4.so b7fb9000-b7fbb000 rw-p b7fb9000 00:00 0 b7fbb000-b7fbd000 r-xp 16:03 278471 /lib/libdl-2.4.so b7fbd000-b7fbf000 rw-p 1000 16:03 278471 /lib/libdl-2.4.so b7fbf000-b7fc4000 r-xp 16:03 1112511/usr/lib/libsane.so.1.0.18 b7fc4000-b7fc5000 rw-p 4000 16:03 1112511/usr/lib/libsane.so.1.0.18 b7fd8000-b7fd9000 rw-p b7fd8000 00:00 0 b7fd9000-b7fda000 r-xp b7fd9000 00:00 0 [vdso] b7fda000-b7ff3000 r-xp 16:03 278465 /lib/ld-2.4.so b7ff3000-b7ff4000 r--p 00019000 16:03 278465 /lib/ld-2.4.so b7ff4000-b7ff5000 rw-p 0001a000 16:03 278465 /lib/ld-2.4.so bf89c000-bf8b2000 rw-p bf89c000 00:00 0 [stack] Aborted ajglap ~ # -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] using xsane with a network scanner (hp officejet 7310)
xsane was working great with my old hp officejet 7130s (note 7130 not 7310) that were connected to my laptop via usb (one 7130 at each of two sites). The home 7130 died and is replaced by a 7310, which is a network device. It's local IP number is 192.168.1.50 and as a printer it works great from every machine on our network. I need to figure out what name I should must when invoking xsane. If I try just xsane it complains that it can't open an hp1200 (laserprinter), which is not plugged in and if I plug it in I gent [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/.sane/xsane $ xsane *** glibc detected *** xsane: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0xb7419391 *** === Backtrace: = /lib/libc.so.6[0xb773dbab] /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpaio.so.1(sane_hpaio_open+0x28d)[0xb740fb09] /usr/lib/libsane.so.1(sane_dll_open+0xde)[0xb7f4ee36] /usr/lib/libsane.so.1(sane_open+0x24)[0xb7f4f4c9] xsane[0x80b5d66] xsane[0x80b8b35] xsane[0x80b9d42] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc)[0xb76f2864] xsane[0x804ea41] === Memory map: 08048000-080d2000 r-xp 16:03 801781 /usr/bin/xsane 080d2000-080d7000 rw-p 00089000 16:03 801781 /usr/bin/xsane 080d7000-081d2000 rw-p 080d7000 00:00 0 [heap] [[ more lines deleted ]] I have hplip-0.9.7-r3 installed I presume that if I type xsane correct-name-here it would find the scanner, but can't figure out the correct name.

It is the one, that if you delete it from the autostart in the sessionmanager, it writes itself back in it, so it starts again. What you mean is the old power-status-icon. Now there is a power manager integrated in gnome. Did you save the session after you removed it? For example, did you click auto save session on logout? allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] gnome 2.16 block by non-installed blocker
My normal emerge --tree --ask --verbose --newuse --update --deep world showed that gnome 2.16 is now stable.
