I want my hardware to do the stuff it should. With a cable, you will (at least with some/most sound cards) have a digital-analog conversion in the drive, an analog-digital conversion in the sound card, and another digital-analog conversion on output from the sound card. With digital extraction you will just have the last digital-analog conversion. Guess what sounds best. A third option: most drives have a digital output connector, and most sound cards have a digital input connector. -- Hilsen Harald. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is it possible. What is slow about it? Just the startup or the use of applications or both? One thing I noticed is memory usage and swap can kill performance.

[gentoo-user] OT - Need help with NAT
Hi, I have been having trouble forwarding packets using iptables on my Gentoo box. I am no iptables expert. I connect to the internet using rp-pppoe. I use firestarter for firewalling. Yesterday I installed VMware and chose host only networking between the VMs. vmnet0 was bound to 192.168.128.1 and the rest of the subnet being 192.168.128.0/24. As should be obvious by now, I need to forward packets from ppp0 to vmnet0 and allow outbound packets as well. I chose vmnet0 to be the adaptor connected to my LAN and enabled Internet Connection Sharing in Firestarter. I could ping my virtual hosts and do ssh and telnet, but I couldn't access the internet from those hosts. I also tried the Gentoo Home Router Guide. But to no avail. I still couldn't have the hosts access the internet. I have had this problem with actual physical LAN too. I haven't been able to allow any of the LAN hosts to connect to the internet through my Gentoo box. Could someone help me?

I want my hardware to do the stuff it should. With a cable, you will (at least with some/most sound cards) have a digital-analog conversion in the drive, an analog-digital conversion in the sound card, and another digital-analog conversion on output from the sound card. With digital extraction you will just have the last digital-analog conversion. Guess what sounds best. A third option: most drives have a digital output connector, and most sound cards have a digital input connector. -- Wrong. Sound is by nature analog. The soundcard does nothing, as the CD drive reads the digital audio and the DAC of the CD drive itself converts it to analog, passing it directly to the soundcard, that send it right to the speakers with a little amp or not. As the DAC of the CD drive has nothing to do anyway, that is hardware doying what it should. Check it: http://img.tfd.com/cde/DIGAUDEX.GIF If you get the data digitally, you CD drive sends it directly, over the system bus/digital cable, and your CPU/Soundcard PU must convert it to analog audio (because your speakers still can't do it (at least mine), with most modern boards and on-board audio cards, the soundcard uses the CPU, so, yes, it uses a few cycles.

[gentoo-user] Shutdown pauses partway with "Give root password"
Resending ... anyone have a clue as to why the "Give root password for maintenance ..." prompt would come up occasionally at shutdown time? >>> Well, this is weird. We've all seen "Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue):", usually after an unclean shutdown. I'm getting it on shutdown itself. I've never even heard of this, and searching google I haven't found any reference to it. It isn't happening every time - it'll go 2 or 3 or 6 (but certainly not 4 or 5 :b) times with clean predictable shutdowns. I can't tell that anything is different in the times I shutdown fails - there aren't any symptoms of any misbehaviour until the message itself. This is a home theatre PC running MythTV. Frontend only, so there are no fancy drivers in the system, just video (nvidia 8756 driver), sound (snd_hda_intel), and lirc with streamzap. System was build from scratch for this purpose, recently, so it is pretty up to date. P4 with hyperthreading. Normally runs with no keyboard or mouse or VGA, only an SVIDEO-out from an NVidia card. BIOS has obviously been set to ignore post errors given the lack of keyboard. Myth running or not running is irrelevant, I've seen the shutdown problem in both situations. I've also seen the problem whether shutting down with a quick press to the power button, or using ssh to run a shutdown command. Here's a sequence: - press power button - this is presumably caught by acpid, which turns it into an "init 0" command - hdd lights blink, eventually X is stopped - when X stops, that initial login prompt that came out before X started is now displayed again, and right there I get the "Give root password ..." prompt. Sometimes the svideo-out console hasn't been restored so I can't see any of this, it is only on a connected monitor (if there is a connected monitor). Usually the svideo-out console is restored on X shutdown, so this does in fact display. After this happened a few times and didn't seem to be going away on its own :) I grumbled, dug up a keyboard and plugged it in, entered the root password. The log shows ntpd, sshd and syslog-ng shutdowns. There are no messages following the syslog-ng shutdown. :) ifconfig returns nothing. runlevel says "3 0" rc-status exhibits poor grammar "* Could not local current runlevel in /var/lib/init.d/softlevel * Assuming current runlevel is 'single'" Sure enough, there is no softlevel file at this point in a partway shutdown system. df shows local partitions (/, /var, /usr) still mounted, and the sole NFS mount has been taken down. local partitions are all ext2, no lvm or anything fancy. kernel is 2.6.16-gentoo-r3 System is vanilla, except for ~x86 keywords on nvidia-kernel and nvidia-driver to get the recent 8756 versions.

[gentoo-user] mail to this list from home fails, but from home relayed through ISP works
This isn't the case of subscribing through work and sending from home or whatever. In both cases I sent from home, indeed from the same account in the same mail client. Only the path the message took to list.gentoo.org changed. I hadn't posted to this for quite a while until recently. When I did so again a few days ago, the message hung up in my outgoing queue and I got this message in the log: May 7 16:09:56 texada postfix/smtp[23864]: 7D46150B55: to=, relay=lists.gentoo.org[140.105.134.102], delay=15242, status=deferred (host lists.gentoo.org[140.105.134.102] said: 421 4.4.1 collect: read timeout on connection from m198-163.dsl.rawbw.com, from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (in reply to end of DATA command)) I let it stew for a couple of hours in case this was a greylist thing, and subsequent resends did the same thing. I switched my client to relay though my ISP's MX, and the message went through fine. I'm guessing I'm running afoul of some anti-spam measure. Perhaps it is a case of reverse-DNS points to my ISP and not to my own domain, but a near-infinite number of people must share that condition. Or maybe my mailer is just misconfigured in some narrow way that none of my correspondents have had trouble with until now.

[gentoo-user] Network UPS Tools (NUT)
Hi folks, anybody using them? If so I have got a question. Except one thing, everything is handled fine by gentoo's start-up scripts. The exception is this: If NUT shuts the box down, a flag /etc/killpower is created. At the end of the shutdown process this flag determines whether the UPS itself is to be switched of by software. That is supposed to avoid complete depletion of the UPS - maybe by a monitor plugged into it directly. It seems to me that this flag never gets removed. So a manual "halt" also tries to switch off the UPS which might not be intended. Anybody else seeing this?

Looking at that file it seems as if there's a 10 second(?) timeout on sulogin spawned from halt.sh. This one doesn't go away in any reasonable period of time. Also it looks as if there should be some messages about remounting and such before that sulogin would spawn, and I don't see such messages (presuming they should show up on this console).

[gentoo-user] USB weirdness
Is it my problem or is it a generic problem: My install of Gentoo (2006.0 profile with latest versions of gentoo-kernel etc.) doesn't recognize events happening on USB bus. i.e.: in order to use my multicard reader it has to be plugged in upon boot - otherwise it's not recognized. Furthermore - if I unplug it and plug it back in - can't get to device at all. I checked to have coldplug and hotplug to be activated/deactivated on boot etc. and all combination I've tried didn't help. I also tried to enable USB debugging checking if there is any data comming from USB and it seems like nothing is comming in. Same CardReader works fine with Offtopic OS just fine it seems. Actually same happened to my PDA (Sony Clie) - after I unplug cardreader - Gentoo wouldn't recognize my PDA being plugged in on same USB. At some point (I think it was before switching to 2.6 kernel) it all worked just fine. In case if this is of any relevance - my MB is Tyan Tiger MP 2460, my card reader is Lacie 6-in-1. -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University (780) 675-6245 pgpxe4LSbv2J0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Here is /proc/mounts, transcribed by hand. There is nothing obvious wrong here (to me) except that the filesystems are still rw. /proc/mounts: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / ext2 rw,noatime,nogrpid 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 /dev/hda6 /usr ext2 rw,noatime,nogrpid 0 0 /dev/hda7 /var ext2 rw,noatime,nogrpid 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 At this point, I manually remounted the 3 local partitions ro mount -n -o remount,ro / etc which went cleanly, and /proc/mounts now shows them ro. Is there any chance this could be a race condition thing, in which some processes aren't fully shut down yet when halt.sh tries to umount or remount? But they're all shut down now (a couple of minutes later) so the remounts go cleanly? Finally, after remounting the partitions (above), I pressed Ctrl-D to kill the sulogin shell, and the machine rebooted.

The kernel should be able to find System.map whether it is named System.map or System.map-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 or whatever your kernel is. Each kernel usually has it's own different System.map so the latter naming scheme is preferred. I have tried both on different (but only) gentoo kernels and still they complain about not finding it. The kernel itself should not need the file as it should be aware of it's own symbols memory addresses, but some programs like ps do need it. So these are the questions to people wiser than me: 1. Is this a vanilla or gentoo kernel specific issue? 2. Does the kernel itself actually need the file? 3.

Re: [gentoo-user] LVM2 Problems
I've never seen this issue, so I may not be the right person to give advice here. But at a glance, it looks like lvm and device-mapper are incompatible or something similar. If I were in your place I would try differrent versions of lvm2, device-mapper and/or kernel. FYI, my configuration works with kernel 2.6.16-r1, device-mapper 1.02.03 and lvm2 2.02.05.

Unfortunately, I don't know how much the Polish keyboard differs from the us_intl layout. This might be a stupid suggestion, but try defining your keyboard XkbLayout as us_intl. Using the us_intl XkbLayout, typing the accented characters you want works by hitting a quote ' and o to produce รณ, without needing AltGr (right Alt) pressed. Hitting ` and o produces an รฒ, " and o produces รถ, all without AltGr pressed. To produce a single ' or " you need to hit ' or " followed by a space. For some strange reason, on my system OpenOffice seems to need the locale set to utf8 to work properly with international keyboard layouts. Without it, the ' and " keys are dead, working only with AltGr pressed. I don't understand why, but since I changed my locale to en_US.utf8, the quote keys and Open Office work perfectly. > While configuring xorg with xorgconfig I've chosen the > following options: > Please answer the following question with either 'y' > or 'n'. Do you want to select additional XKB options > (group switcher, group indicator, etc.)? y > Group Shift/Lock behavior: > 1 Right Alt key switches group while pressed I have none of these options set in my xorg.conf, just XkbLayout set to us_intl, nothing specified for (no)deadkeys or group switching either. You could try this in your xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "AutoRepeat""500 30" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl" EndSection After restarting X, try this from a xterm command prompt: LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 oowriter2 Try this, and let us know if this lets you to enter accented characters in Open Office. With or without LC_ALL specified, you should be able to enter accented characters in Mozilla Thunderbird too with XkbLayout set to us_intl. Cheers, Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I use yakuake. It's the the best drop-down terminal I've ever used, and I believe I tried almost all of them (there really aren't many). Off the top of my head, I recall yeahconsole and kuake. There's also tilda, but I never tried it. yeahconsole is good if you want as few dependencies as possible. It's basically xterm wrapped in a hidable window, although it seems to be missing some functionality (e.g. unicode support, at least back when I used it). Also, you need to use screen if you want to make it really useful, which isn't bad, of course, but lack of tabs is lack of features nonetheless :) . Also, I had to hack source in order to change some configuration, can't remember what. kuake is rather out-of-date and has been superseded by yakuake. While both are "wrappers" for KDE's konsole, the latter is noticeably faster and has more features. Most important, it has tabs and is also more configurable regarding focus policy (whether it retracts when it loses focus). The only thing it currently lacks and would really be useful is emacs-like tiling. It would basically make it a retractable set of terminals. It would make copy&paste easier. But tab switching is actually quick enough to compensate for this lacking. pgpKavzr2Rrtb.pgp Description: PGP signature

But if /boot is mounted during normal operation, then it'll be able to find it. Maybe these programs are even 'cleverer' and also have a look in /usr/src/linux/?

Granted, it'll look better, but that's it. As long as you have a compatible desktop wallpaper, a good set of fonts and colors, it makes your desktop look great while helping contrast on the fonts (shadow for example) if you configure it well. Programming on a black or white background can become seriously boring, while putting an image as terminal background makes you feel like your desktop and terminal are two different worlds (it hurts my eyes). IMHO transparency is two on one, you set your desktop wallpaper and your terms background at the same time. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?

It makes a lot of sense to use both. The use of one doesn't contradict the use of the other. In no way whatsoever. Can you tell me, why you would want to use both tab and screen? To seperate different screen sessions. I've often got multiple screen sessions running on multiple servers. And often I don't want to mix that. Different example: On tab 1, I'm logged on to screen on server 1 and show session 1. On tab 2, I'm logged on to the same session and show session 2. Now it's very easy to switch back and forth between those sessions - even easier than ^A^A. A different example, which has nothing to do with tabs, but with running multiple terminals with one or multiple screens: To *see* two sessions at once. Screen also becomes somewhat "harder" to use, when you've got more than 10 sessions in a screen, as you then cannot *as* easily switch - or is there a way to easily switch to session 17? For 0 to 9, it's just ^A0 to ^A9 (or whatever the escape character is set to). Granted - with gnome-terminal, it also becomes "clumsy" to switch to sessions > 10. And no, even if it might be possible to change the size of the screen so that two (or more) sessions can be shown They both serve the same purpose. No, they don't. How does screen serve the purpose of seperating sessions? Easy (contrived) example: On Console 1 I'm logged on to server 1 and have my screen with some sessions. And on Console 2, I'm logged on to workstation 2 with some sessions. How do you do that with just one screen? Screen is much better to handle than the tabs. No, it isn't. But it's also not worse. It just doesn't have anything to do with each other, as they serve different purposes. And because of that, the best answer is: They are different. Different things for different purposes are different to handle.

IMO transparency is one of the most useless features. True, it's not that usefull, but it does look nice. Yes, it certainly has the potential to look nice. No doubt. It provides a nice change of pace, so that way, when you're running a terminal in X, it doesn't look exactly like the regular shell. Well - a terminal is something to work with. And this has to be functional and not "provide a change of pace". As far as making it harder to read, I've found it quite easy. If it conflicts with your background design, just change the text color. My text color is black, as my background is white, which is, BTW, the best to read for the majority of people (if you're not handicapped, that is). That's so, because the contrast between the text and the background cannot be higher than with black on white (or white on black). It is also possible to turn the transparency off, if needed. Yep. That's what I do. But hey, if you can work with a transparent term - fine! Nice for you!

Cause, since I use different backgrounds for each of my desktops, depending on what desktop I'm using, I'll get a different background. All this said, usability and functionalibility is fact (for the most part), and looks and such is opinion (for the most part-- again).You like to use a black-on-white background. Fine, I've used that before and it was great. I like to use IMO Transparency for a chance of pace. Great. I'm guessing that this conversation was originally started to gather info on peoples preferences of X terminals, but I don't think it was started for a debate about transparency. Commenting on it, maybe.This is really all my fault anyways since I started commenting on it. At least I'm hopefully ending it.
