[gentoo-user] network scanning with gentoo / hplip / hpaio
I have an HP-7310 all-in-one. We have it on our wired network at URL 192.168.1.50. As a printer/fax/copier, it works fine. My problem is with scanning. Our older HP-7130 does fine at all tasks. We have two problems identifying scanners. ajglap ~ # scanimage -L device `hpaio:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1200?device=/dev/usb/lp0' is a hp HP_LaserJet_1200 multi-function peripheral ajglap ~ # This is wrong. I do indeed have HP laserjet 1200 attached via usb, but it is a printer not a multifunction device. The second problem is that the HP officejet 7310 at location 192.168.1.50 is not found Add'l info When at another location with no laserjet but with a USB multifunction device (officejet 7130 -- not 7310), all is well. 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 Aborted ajglap ~ # -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This point has merit when it is a personal conversation between two people. Although I still bottom reply in those cases (or inline reply as you would say), I can see why top replying is not so bad. However, for mailing lists where there are many readers, a number of whom have not been actively following the thread, bottom posting is annoying. Also I save some message from this group as reference to be read much later if I encounter a similar problem. Then bottom-posting is considerably better. thanks, allan -- 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.

[gentoo-user] recommendation for printer/fax/copier/scanner combo
We currently have an HP 7130 that is wearing out and needs replacement. I would appreciate recommendations for a replacement. 1. Good gentoo/linux/cups support (the HP 7130 does fine) 2. Printer, copier, fax, scanner 3. Color 4. Duplex 5. "Network Printer" I would like to plug it into our linksys router (wireless or wired ethernet is OK). The linksys is a wrt54G. 6. Also to be used (again via ethernet) from my wife's windows XP laptop 7. Usage level is light. My wife (windows XP) and I rarely print 50 pages in one day. 8. I have had good luck with HP printers so would prefer an HP (and would pay a little more for that). But this is not a requirement. thanks in advance, allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] where to put mount --bind during startup
I have had /home/gottlieb a symlink to /local/allan/gottlieb for a while. Now I am having a problem because apache doenn't follow symlinks by default (presumably due to some security concern). As a test I did rm /home/gottlieb mkdir /home/gottlieb mount --bind /local/allan/gottlieb /home/gottlieb and all seems well. Two questions. 1. Are there common gotcha's with mount --bind. That is, will programs that have worked fine with the symlink now fail? 2. Assuming I want to go with mount --bind, how do I make it happen during startup (I assume the mount is not preserved across reboots). The man pages for fstab doesn't suggest that fstab is the way to go. Do you put the mount in the boot runlevel and if so where? thanks, allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Well my openoffice emerged before the emerge world that accompanied
the gcc upgrade still works fine so I will continue to use that. But
I am disquieted by no longer being able to emerge openoffice. Clearly
something is wrong somewhere. I guess I will stop pursuing it
actively and wait for some more symptoms.
Thanks for all your efforts.

Failed at exactly the same place. Since each log file is 30,544 lines
long, it doesn't seem likely to be heat related (i.e., I would suspect
that a heat related hardware failure would not be so deterministic as
to fail after so many compiles in the same place).
I am not sure, but it might be that the ebuild forces -j1 by itself

I then though of possibly running out of disk space. That seemed
unlikely since I had 7.5G and it failed comparatively early in the
run. But to be sure I ran it again with
while true; do df -h | grep /mnt/hdc10; sleep 10; done >> /tmp/time
also running and the available space never went below 5.9G. Once
again it failed at the same place.
So I don't see it as a hardware failure, due to the repeatability.
It is not inadequate disk space.

[gentoo-user] trouble with bcm43xx
I followed the instructions from the forum (listed below) I built the driver and networking code as modules as specified. (I also tried building them into the kernel with essentially the same bad results). I would appreciate any help. Details follow. allan The guide recommended wl_apsta.o for firmware, but that failed the bcm43xx-fwcutter command so I then tried wl.o, which bcm43xx was happy with. The modprobe of bcm43xx worked and lsmod showed the driver, the network code and the cryptographic code. I then added bcm43xx to the appropriate modules.autoload.

Let assume the package is gnumeric version 1.6.3 Then put the following line into /etc/portage/package.keywords ~app-office/gnumeric-1.6.3 This way you will get -1.6.3 and, if there is a GENTOO version bump, to ~app-office/gnumeric-1.6.3-r1, you will get that as well even if it is keyword masked (i.e. is ~x86). But you will *not* get -1.6.4 if it is ~x86 so you will in good time return to a stable version. allan gottlieb -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

That would happen with ~ as well. That is, it would stay at the -0 (rather than -1, -2, etc). The ~ just allows gentoo version bumps -0 to -0-r1 to -0-r2 etc. The trade-off is what happens when -0 is stable and -0-r1 becomes keyword masked. I prefer to go to -0-r1, but I can understand why you might want to stay at -0. Like you I want to keep my box as "stable" as possible and keep my package.keyword file small and restricted (= or ~). allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

All I did was my usual morning routine. 1. anacron executes eix-sync 2. At a gnome-terminal I typed emerge --tree --ask --verbose --newuse --update --deep world The emerge offered to install totem and gnumeric. 3. I said yes, expecting totem to succeed and gnumeric to fail, but both succeeded. Hope it goes as well with you. allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

That solution, which indeed does solve my problem, is correctly stated to place gst-plugins into the world file. But that is not what I though world was for. I though it was for applications that I use directly. I thought the --noreplace suggestion was for the case when --depclean wants to remove something you actually run.

The short story is that these two utilities will repeatedly remove and restore media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.11. The long version follows. thanks in advance for any help. allan 1.

Re: [gentoo-user] Build error: gnumeric-1.4.3-r3
As a followup to my previous posting giving this same error with modest CFLAGS I should point out the following. 1. During the big upgrade of gnome-lite to 1.14, the following appeared.

The line you are adding to package.keywords says that for *the specific version listed* (since you begin with "=") you will emerge it, if it is keyworded (or stable). For any other version, in particular for the next version issued from upstream, the line you added says nothing.

[gentoo-user] supported mp3 players (hardware)
My kids have finally convinced me that instead of burning CDs to play in the car I should get a portable MP3 player (and use my existing "adapter" that plugs into the headphone and presents a cassette tape to the car's audio system). What players would you recommend. My needs are modest, a few hours of MP3s would be enough. My primary goal is to listen to "the teaching company" lectures.

But the command original command could have been "emerge (perhaps --update) B". A might still be needed (e.g. it might have been in world). With (the updated) B merged an emerge of A could still be successful since the ebuild for A might behave differently with (the updated) B present. Another example would be the original command was 'emerge -vaDu world', but A was in world and is not depended upon by anything else. Since A was unmerged, it will not be remerged. I don't know if this occurs in practice. These examples are admittedly rather comtrived. My google search result (posted a few msgs ago) gave the three step sequence you quoted above. I agree that your proposed two step procedure is more likely to give better results. Is the following modification of yours better or worse. It does seem to cover an extra case, but may be too complicated to put in a wiki page When A is blocking B, the normal thing to do is to unmerge A, and then execute again the command that reported the blockage. This command is normally something like 'emerge -vaDu world'. If the package you unmerged is still needed, it will often automatically get remerged. However, if A was originally in world and not depended upon by anything else, it will not be remerged. If A is still needed it must be explicitly emerged. (With the, possibly updated, B now merged the ebuild of A may behave differently so that no blockage occurs.) allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This will give you the package that wishes to be installed and the package that is blocking it. First unmerge the blocking package, then emerge the package that wished to be installed. Finally emerge the package that you initially unmerged. I would think that the idea is that merging B (which is new or updated) changed the system so that A can now be remerged.

The man page for emerge suggests (but does not state) that --update is still needed. --update (-u) Updates packages to the best version available, which may not always be the highest version number due to masking for testing and development. This will also update direct dependencies which may not be what you want. In general, use this option only in combination with the world or system target. I also don't see an explicit mention that --newuse implies --update --newuse (-N) Tells emerge to include installed packages where USE flags have changed since compilation.

The conversion programs you ran might not stress the memory system. I
suspect that they only keep a fixed size portion of the input and

Please report back your findings, including the application mix you
tested. Although "scientific" timed benchmarks are important, I would

you should qualitatively describe the use of the system (web server,

Often the bigger problem with large binaries is that their working sets exceeds the sizes of the L1 and (possibly) L2 caches. So, you may well be right that your gigabytes of RAM greatly reduce disk access to load and demand page applications, you may still get a slowdown due to cache misses. Central memory, which is the fast & small storage when considering demand paging, is the large but slow storage when considering caching. allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

So in my theory, "emerge one && > emerge two" should be the same as doing seperately. It is more complicated than that. 1. A single CPU machine most likely has a DMA I/O controller and hence more than one action can be concurrent. 2. I/O itself causes long delays while the disk is active, with a second emerge (or any other processor) the CPU can be concurrent with this delay. These two argue for the concurrent emerges to be faster, but 3. The context switching between processes is not free and adds CPU (at least) requirements to the concurrent emerge situation. 4. The concurrent invocation increases the cache pressure (i.e., demand) which most likely increases the cache miss rate. 5. Similarly for the buffer cache. etc allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Had you built xorg-x11 when the kernel didn't have acpi support? I ask because a long build could be raising the temperature of your laptop and it is shutting off to save itself from frying. I have had dell service replace motherboards on two laptops because of this problem. But it could be much simpler 1. Make sure you don't have any vents blocked. For example, don't place your laptop on a soft surface if it has bottom vents. 2. Blow or vacuum the vents to hopefully remove any blockage. > My issue is this: The computer powered off in the middle of the install > of xorg-x11. This has happened a couple of times.

Anyway, since the emerge of > xorg-x11 has bombed a couple of times, is there anything that I should > do in the way of clean up before trying to emerge it again? It is of course not good to have a machine shut off in the middle of execution. I don't know if the heat sensing shutoff has fail-stop or byzantine semantics. Presumably your file systems are journaling so you have a good chance of surviving without any damage (I would do an e2fsck -f --or equivalent for your filesystem type-- on each filesystem, but I am somewhat paranoid). Having an emerge stop (say by Control-C) in the middle of a *compile* phase should not be a serious problem. You might check /var/tmp/portage to see if the tmp directory for xorg-x11 is still there. hth, allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Haven't figured > this out yet. Currently at 318 of 1046 on emerge -e world... The disk space was fine for these builds. Apparently this is a know problem, see bug #114399. A workaround was given unmerge gtkhtml unmerge libgtkhtml remove any gtkhtml and gtkhtml from /var/tmp/portage emerge gtkhtml and libgtkhtml This did fix it for me. However, I had already done an emerge --resume --skipfirst so the newly built [lib]gtkhtml (with gcc 3.4) were not available for the remainder of myemerge -e world. I also had some small problems with synaptics (I forget the problem) and firefox (corrupted distfile). Those two problems were easy to fix and the emerge -e world has finished. For "cleanliness" I am running another emerge -e world to see if it can go all the way through without any problems.

You need a stage3 to build a stage1 with a new CHOST. In the faq (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml#stage12) I find. How do I Install Gentoo Using a Stage1 or Stage2 Tarball? The Gentoo Handbook only describes a Gentoo installation using a stage3 tarball. However, Gentoo still provides stage1 and stage2 tarballs. This is for development purposes (the Release Engineering team starts from a stage1 tarball to obtain a stage3) but shouldn't be used by users: a stage3 tarball can very well be used to bootstrap the system. You do need a working Internet connection. It surprises me that release engineering starts with a stage1 to get a stage3 and then we use this stage3 to build a stage1. I mention this only out of curiosity; there is a stage3 with my desired CHOST and I expect to do all future installs starting with stage3 (I formerly used stage1). thanks, allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I also always had done stage1 installs. I also misremembered that CFLAGS couldn't be changed if using stage3. I also posted this mis-remembrance to the present list. As was very politely explained to me: 1. It was CHOST, not CFLAGS. 2. You can (at least now, not sure about previously) actually change CHOST, but must run a utility afterward. 3. If you fiddle with USE flags, /etc/package.* files, etc, you can get the effect of a customized stage1 install by recompiling everything twice. I suspect simply emerge -e world; emerge -e world 3A. Only a few items really need to be compiled the first time. 3B. There are scripts in the forums to do this "automatically". Thus, I conclude that, unless you are changing bootstrap.sh (which I never did), you really can get the effect of a stage1 starting with stage3. I would not use the term "faster" to describe the stage3 equivalent of stage1, especially if you are lazy and do the double emerge -e world. Instead, I would say that there are two advantages to the user 1. You can use your machine for reading/sending mail, browsing the web, etc while all the compilation is proceeding. So the machine is usable sooner, even if the procedure is not faster. 2. You avoid the chance to make the kind of error I did in changed USE flags too aggressively, *too early* in the process. Perhaps more important is that there is one big advantage to the developers and seasoned gentoo experts on this list. 1. Fewer installation errors due to faulty understanding of a stage1 process results in fewer requests for help, requests that likely to the expert seem to all be essentially the same, and do not lead to improvement of the stage1 process.

At one point that was something that you weren't supposed to change unless using stage1. If one changes -march after stage3, are we supposed to first run bootstrap.sh before emerge -e ? Although I always did stage1 installs, I must confess to once getting into trouble by changing USE flags "too early". This taught me the advantage of first going stage1-->stage2-->stage3 with the std USE flags and only then changing USE flags. I realize that in that case one might as well start with stage3 (assuming you can change -march). thanks, allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] oops with 2.6.13-gentto-r3
I just emerged gentoo-sources and obtained 2.6.13-gentoo-r3. I copied over my .config from linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 then executed make make install#I don't have any modules When I booted an oops occurred, the output of dmsg is attached as is my .config. The .config contains two variables not use in 2.6.13. I am fairly sure no harm is done leaving the variables there, but I did a run with them removed and an oops still occurred. I think my .config is fairly vanilla. I do have an SMT intel processor (dell 5150--/proc/cpuinfo is below).
