Re: SOLVED [gentoo-user] Win4Lin NumLock issue
The problem occurs when running Win4Lin *within* a VNC session. The same goes for QEMU. I don't fully understand the difference between loading X at the console versus loading it at a virtual console, but I think that some keyboard mappings (among other things) are treated differently in the virtual console. When I first started playing around with WTS, over a year ago, I was using XDMCP on the server and Cygwin/X on the client--I had the exact same problem... The number keypad didn't work. So it's probably just that X doesn't load everything at the virtual console that is does at the real console.

Re: SOLVED [gentoo-user] Win4Lin NumLock issue
Sheesh, I finally found a solution to this very annoying problem (may
also help the gentleman with the UK keyboard problem (Peter Ruskin?)...
I actually discovered this while playing around with QEMU, it had the
EXACT same problem as WTS.
The problem appears to be an X keyboard mapping issue. In my situation,
the users only use the number keypad for entering numbers. So I created
the following
~/.Xmodmap:
keycode 79=7
keycode 80=8
keycode 81=9
keycode 83=4
keycode 84=5
keycode 85=6
keycode 87=1
keycode 88=2
keycode 89=3
keycode 90=0
keycode 91=period
keycode 86 = plus
keycode 77 =
This essentially hard codes the number keypad and (theoretically)
disables the Num Lock button ("keycode 77")--theoretically because the
number keypad now works perfectly but only if the Num Lock LED is ON on
the client side (Windows, in my case).
I still don't fully understand why or how this works because the number
keypad has always worked within X during a VNC session, problems arose
only during a Win4Lin or QEMU session and only within those sessions.
Anyway, thought this might help others who may be having the same or
similar problems.

The issue here is that RPMs use an RPM database to keep track of what is installed. You don't have an RPM database, because Gentoo is not a binary RPM-based distribution and therefore none of the dependencies were installed via RPM. You are never going to be able to convince the RPM which you're trying to install independently that the programs are already present. This is why --nodeps was suggested; the RPM you're trying to install won't then try to scan the non-existant database for programs that are installed, but not via RPM. Presumably the ebuilds for RPM applications do a complex process of linking the various aspects of the pre-compiled binary to the previously-existing aspects of the Gentoo system, so that the RPM doesn't freak out, and the Gentoo system can access the RPM program. Win4Lin is, naturally, a very complicated install, and so it's not as if you could just 'pop it in' as if it was Flash or the ATI drivers (one-function applications that don't require hooks to many parts of the base system). Were I you, I would consider looking at the most recent Win4Lin ebuild and see how it does it, then either try copying the ebuild to my overlay and updating it to work with the current version you have-- or as previously suggested, contacting the maintainer of the Win4Lin ebuild (or posting a bug to that effect) and seeing if you can get an update. After all, the maintainer will have to do this sometime, when the app is released, and perhaps it's a difficult procedure that takes some time. So it might be worthwhile to give said maintainer a heads-up now and get the ball rolling if it is not. At the very least, you might be able to get some tips as to how to get a provisional/temporary/overlay ebuild working, or what the issues involved might be.

Which Gentoo > packages do I need to install to satisfy the dependencies that RPM > indicated were missing? That question has yet to be answered. The key word here is "indicated". rpm only knows about the files in its database, files that were themselves installed by rpm. Obviously, that database is empty on a Gentoo system as everything has been installed from portage. What you need to do is go through the list of files that rpm says it needs and check for the existence of each one with locate (run updatedb before you start, to be safe). You may well find that they all exist, in which case you can call rpm with --nodeps. If not, you'll have a far shorter list of truly missing files to check up on. If the package for a file is not obvious from its name, try searching for it on http://rpmfind.net or http://packages.debian.org. This will tell you which package supplies this file on other distros, the Gentoo package will generally have a similar name. -- Neil Bothwick If at first you don't succeed, you must be a programmer. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Win4Lin TS support?
That worked! I had to go back to vanilla-sources-2.6.11.11 to get full SMP support (Win4Lin issue) but the kernel patched correctly and loaded the MKI module. It's a bummer that I can't use gentoo-sources, or "win4lin-sources" (wherever they are), for this. I was hoping to take advantage of some of the gentoo-specific kernel enhancements and patches.

You can get the ebuild tree sys-kernel/win4lin-sources from here: http://www.logicetc.com/~rbickers/win4lin-sources.tar.bz2 Also, it appears the base and extras for that version are no longer available, so you'll need to put them in /usr/portage/distfiles; the rest of the needed sources can still be fetched. http://www.logicetc.com/~rbickers/genpatches-2.6.11-14.base.tar.bz2 http://www.logicetc.com/~rbickers/genpatches-2.6.11-14.extras.tar.bz2 Let me know if anything is broken. -- Ron -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] win4lin
I'd just get vanilla or even better emerge gentoo-sources 2.6.11? and then go to the w4l site and get teh patches for that kernel, the patching is pretty simple and described there pretty well, then just build yourself a new kernel with the patches and go to town.. Mike (I'd go to the kernel building howto's, and don't use genkernel. make oldconfig, and make menuconfig is your freind after the patching, I have no success with 2.6.12 yet tho), Try www.pickledonion.net for more info too.

yeah, well, a new install as of two days ago...it's 2.6.12. emerge --search win4lin-source turns up nothing. Is there anothing thing I should be searching for?

Although I usually patch my own kernel for the ck-sources optimizations. I think the gentoo, or vanilla sources patch pretty straight foreward, although I'd stick with 2.6.11, as the 2.6.12 series are problematic with the win4lin patch set so far.

[gentoo-user] win4lin
I've purchased the win4lin product, (the home version) to test out certain windows apps I need to run. They claim that gentoo has a patched kernel available for this. Does anyone know anything about this? The instructions they sent me said to emerge win4lin-sources, but emerge --search finds nothing answering to this. I've already emerged the win4lin itself, but without the kernel patches, it won't work. Running 2005.1.

Re: [gentoo-user] Win4Lin problems
Try running /etc/init.d/vnetd status If it says started but ps ax | grep vnetd returns nothing, "zap" it: /etc/init.d/vnetd zap then /etc/init.d/vnetd start again.

Re: [gentoo-user] Win4Lin problems
I don't think that vnetd is running, even though I think I started it: baby ~ # /opt/win4lin/bin/vnetd baby ~ # ps ax | grep 'vnetd' 11865 pts/1R+ 0:00 grep vnetd Did I format my ps command correctly?
