[gentoo-user] Routing with gentoo...
OK, I admit it, this is more of a Linux networking challenge, but it's one I want to resolve under gentoo. I have two network interfaces - eth0 and tun0 - and both are (somehow) connected to the internet. When I have eth0's IP address as my default route, all my traffic is sent out via my NAT enabled router and is associated with its dynamic IP address... however, while I can receive packets on the tun0 interface, replies are sent via eth0, and that means ping doesn't work and TCP connections to tun0's publicly accessible IP address fail. When I have tun0's IP address as my default route, all my traffic (inbound and outbound TCP connections) are routed over tun0... enabling the previously precluded inbound connections on tun0's publicly accessible IP address, but which is an unnecessarily inefficient use of the (more expensive) tun0 interface for outbound connections. What I really want is for eth0 to be used all the time, except for packets associated with TCP streams that connected from remote hosts to tun0's public facing IP address - when tun0 must be used. I don't need/want to support UDP or other protocols communicating via tun0 - and TCP connections to tun0 will only arrive on a handful of ports which I can determine up front. Should I be using IPTables for this, and - if so - is there a howto addressing this scenario? Is there a better approach than IPTables?

[gentoo-user] turn on wifi enables also bluetooth
Hello, I have Dell Latitude E4300 notebook where the wifi and bluetooth (BT) is turned on by one HW switch. So, on windows if the switch is turned on there is possible to turn off one of these devices (from windows try stop the device). Is there something similar in Linux? Some application which is opened right after turning on of the switch and the application allow me to choose to turn on wifi or bt or both? Or is there a script which can be used to turn of the device even if the switch is on? In common I don't want to turn on BT when using wifi and vice versa. Thanks to all for help Pat Freehosting PIPNI - http://www.pipni.cz/

I moved all stuff into the address book, and did not use it for a while Now I wanted to do so, but it did not run due to an error with akonadi. Did you try to create a local resource using your systemsettings and point it to the local KDE3.5 contacts file? If you restart the address book, then akonadi will kick in a carry out the migration - if it does not succeed it will tell you so. In that case you may need to fix things manually (I've posted how in an older thread of mine, where I managed to make akonadi to succeed in its migration from a local resource file using sqlite - I don't have mysql in this box. Let me know if you can't find it.) I just tried that. I first added a dir-resource, as there are several .vcf files in my .kde3.5/share/appes/kabc directory. BTW, I had to copy that directory, as the file chooser did not show directories starting with a dot. Nothing happened when I restarted kontact. I did the same with a file- resource, when I noticed that all the .vcf files were identical. Again, nothing happened. But: There are errors when akonadi is starting up during login. I think it did not do this when I wrote the last mail, but probably this is the problem now for the migration does not work. I attached the error parts of the log. Can you run /etc/init.d/dbus restart before you try again? Your akonadi log complains about dbus (amidst other things). And I looked for your posting, and searched all of my gentoo-user archive, but somehow I did not find it. If you think it would help in my case, and if you still have it at hand, it would be nice if you could direct me to it (the subject would be enough). http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/224044 but this was about me being able to run the akonadi migration without having to install mysql. I used sqlite instead. Have a look at the file I refer to anyway, just in case something is amiss in there. I tried to figure out what this was, and how to get the error message in English, but then I found out that I only have to restart kontact. Fine, now I want to add a contact. First, when I want to edit the location, the country is set to Afghanistan, I always have to change this to Germany. Annoying, why is this so, who would want this behaviour, except for Afghans perhaps. Have you tried to set up your locale in systemsettings to Germany? Yes, it's set like that. Have you set up your local timezone in /etc/conf.d/clock, in case this affects it? - Dolphin can do FTP, but I have to repeat the login process several times until I see the destination files. I've also noticed an error when I try to connect with ftp saying that the connection failed, but then if I click on reload it connects fine. Works sometimes, and sometimes not. Also, sometimes the content is not updated when I dragged files via FTP. Other current dolphin problems: - Opens maximized horizontally every time, except at session startup. - The sorting is strange sometimes: Foo-1.srt, Foo-2.avi, Foo-1.avi, Foo-2.srt - When the KDE session comes up, all dolphins have the same view. I'd like one of them to have a different view, but when I do this, next time the session comes up all dolphins will have this view, too. There is an option to remember every folder's view, but every time I open a new folder, it opens in symbol view first, not in the current view of the upper folder. These could all be bugs with dolphin. I've had different problems with it on 3 Gentoo boxen + 1 Ubuntu. - Of course, Amarok keeps doing weird things. At least I can play music from my collection. But playing a stream sometimes crashes it. And dragging files into Amarok always leads to a crash. Yeah, I know, Amarok is not KDE. Given up on that long ago (and sadly have not found a nice replacement which won't pull in the whole of Gnome or worse) It's getting better. It's more stable, and startup time is now 30 seconds instead of 7 minutes. Have you tried clementine? It has the look of Amarok. I had a go at Clementine, but if I recall correctly it wasn't friendly with shoutcast streams. But at least one bug was fixed, I got a mail from bugzilla about this today. It's the bug that makes password dialogs not work if the password is to be displayed as three bullets. Wow, nearly two months after it had been reported, this serious bug

[gentoo-user] Can't boot into X
First, I looked in the archives and didn't find anything relevant - could be my stupidity, but I did try! About 6 days ago, I updated my system and since then, I can't boot into X.

Also note that I can't provide any output because I am, obviously, not on my computer.

Especially since you have: -mno-align-stringops -minline-stringops-dynamically and kfilereplace.cpp:37 warns about QStringList and further along, it creates kaddstringdlgs.h. BTW, -march=core2 implies -mmmx -msse -msse2 and -msse3 (and -mssse3). Even better is -march=native, and let the compiler figure out what features are available/safe. I use the following... CFLAGS=-O2 -march=native -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe If you're building 64-bit Gentoo, the -mfpmath=sse gets picked up by -march=native and you can drop the explicit mention. And you wouldn't believe how many weird build problems are solved by... MAKEOPTS=-j1 ...even on multi-core cpus. The *BUILD PROCESS* is a bit slower, but the final binary is identical with -j8 or whatever. And the time you save by a faster build in a tty will be lost the first time you start bashing your head into a brick wall over some weird build problem. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org
[gentoo-user] Trying to expunge virtualbox
Just recently switched to a backup machine and I notice the following. Some time ago, I had tried Virtualbox, and uninstalled it. I still get the following as the final 2 lines of the bootup process... * Starting VirtualBox kernel module ... * modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why - I've tried dmesg | grep -i box, and it shows nothing. - emerge -pv --depclean | grep -i box only hits on busybox, dosbox, and sandbox - There is no mention of vboxdrv in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 or in /var/lib/portage/world or in /etc/conf.d/local.start Any more ideas? -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org

No error, no other messages. The hard drive light stops, and the Num Lock and Caps Lock keys don't respond. If I press the power button, it immediately turns off. The laptop is a HP 8440p and I've installed amd64. I've followed the install guide, and the hard drive has Windows, EXT2 /boot, swap, EXT3 / on it. I've compiled EXT2, EXT3 and SATA AHCI into the kernel. Does anyone have any idea what I've forgotten or missed? If you need more info, let me know. Thanks for any help you can give. I had a similar problem about 6 weeks or so ago. It turned out that the hardware (a Dell Optiplex 320) and Grub were incompatible in some way. I installed Lilo instead, and everything now works fine. So, try searching on your specific hardware to see if this is a known problem. Roger I had tried to see if there was anything special about the hardware, but couldn't find anything. I'm still of the opinion that it's something to do with the kernel, but I've given up on amd64 (I'm not sure if I've had an amd64 Gentoo PC before) and switched back to x86, and other than forgetting SCSI disk support in the kernel for my SATA disk (which I *always* do, why can't they make SCSI disk support a requirement for SATA AHCI support?), the install went smoothly. The only other thing of note is that I seem to need to use the unstable ndivia-drivers (195.36.24), as the latest stable one (190.42-r3) produced flickering garbage on my screen when I went into X. Thanks for trying to those that did. Jake Moe

Genkernel, in my understand, does everything (and apparently does it pretty well), but it means that it's bigger than it needs to be. Plus, I hadn't gotten a reply back in a while, and I'm limited on time with this laptop, so I went back to that which I know better. And I thought the Live CD used genkernel; I thought that was where genkernel came from in the first place? Is it different? Jake Moe
