Hello Nick,
You need modules for SCSI device support, SCSI disk support and please
enable 'Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device' as it helps with Multi Card
Readers. As long as the USB is hotpluggable, you should install hotplug
and udev packages.
A good idea is to put the USB Disk in and to have look in dmesg
and/or /var/log/messages.
Normally I the disk should recognized by the kernel and produce at least
some messages. (May be a lsusb show if there is something recognized.)
Best regards Joerg

Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] mounting USB flash disk
Hello Nick, I checked your syslog-ng.conf. The only difference is logging to /dev/console instead of /dev/tty12. Just give it a try. I suggest to solve the problems in the order as they appear while booting. So first of all you need an working syslog-ng. I installed version 1.6.8-r1 with default syslog-ng.conf. Please try syslog-ng -s /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf;echo $? to check your config file. After this please check your hotplug config: cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug It should be /sbin/udevsend. To find out what goes wrong you should make an lsusb which is provided by sys-apps/usbutils.

[gentoo-user] Unmerged older KDE, revdep-rebuild fails (no ebuild)
Hi all, I've emerged KDE 3.5 last week (unmasking it in /etc/portage/package.unmask and /etc/portage/package.keywords) I had no trouble at all, but noticed 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 were still there, so I tried to clean those. I did equery list -p kde | grep 3.[123] | xargs emerge unmerge -p It worked fine too, but then I tried revdep-rebuild -- -p and it tries to re-emerge kde-base/kdebase-3.2.3-r1 and mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.2 but doesn't find ebuilds for them. Furthermore, I don't want to have kdebase-3.2 reinstalled. My questions are 1st: what does the fact that revdep-rebuild doesn't complete imply on the state of my system, is it important ? 2nd: if so, how can I fix it ? Is there a way without reinstalling kdebase-3.2 ? Thanks in advance, Maxime -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] libusb build error
OH God !!! Haven't updated Gentoo in a year ?? Wow... I think first thing you should do is to update portage. Bye, Rafael Fernández López. Hi, me again :) . I'm trying to update my machine. I have never done so since I installed Gentoo last year, so I'm a bit unexperienced and ignorant about portage and emerge usage. I have updated most of the packages manually to avoid a broken system, and most are done (only 98 left :) . Some packages don't install properly, this time it is libusb. I have installed libusb-0.1.8 and try to install libusb-0.1.10a, but I get the error message attached. Anyone a clue where I can start searching for a solution? Wrong automake version?

Re: [gentoo-user] libusb build error
OH God !!! :) ? Haven't updated Gentoo in a year ?? Wow... I think first thing you should do is to update portage. Portage is updated, I even synced the local tree. I didn't say I didn't update anything during this year, but I only updated the packages I was interested in (mainly packages for audio work). It was a year without struggling with updated config files or any other unconvenient issues :-) . Anyway, most packages are up to date now. I still have installed kde 3.3, and I plan to update it to 3.5 as soon as it is marked as stable. Unfortunately, kdebase depends on libusb, and even CUPS has been updated and I cannot use my USB printer because CUPS complains about Unable to open USB device usb://hp/deskjet%205550: No such device though I don't know if this is a problem of updating CUPS or with libusb.

[gentoo-user] Laptop Install Issue

I'm at the point where I can boot the system and I've been trying to install xorg-x11. However, the laptop keeps powering off on me.

That's no big problem, I'll just recompile the kernel and follow what the Guide says. My issue is this: The computer powered off in the middle of the install of xorg-x11. This has happened a couple of times. I haven't been having problems with the laptop, so I'm pretty sure the issue has something to do with power management since I built power management into the kernel, but didn't emerge acpid.

When I do an emerge -Duva world, I get kdebase is blocking konsole and then later down the list I have konsole is blocking kdebase. I understand that kde-base/kdebase is a monolithic package and I actually only want individual packages on my system, so I didn't install it. However, something is now trying to pull it in. eix -e of kdebase and kde shows that neither is installed (not the monolithic nor the meta package). equery depends kdebase lists: app-cdr/k3b-0.12.4a kde-base/kdm-3.4.1 kde-base/kcheckpass-3.4.1 kde-base/kdebase-meta-3.4.1 but emerge -Duvp k3b kdm kcheckpass kdebase-meta doesn't show the blockage problem. emerge -tuvp world shows that kdegames is the culprit, but it is installed now and doesn't have kde-base. Should I remove kdegames and put in kdegames-meta instead? What is the difference between kde, kdebase, and kdebase-meta?

[gentoo-user] Set kde visited links color
This is really a kde question but I'm hoping other gentoo users will know that to do here since it seems likely any kde users will have seen this too. I've apparently set something so that visited links sort of disappear. That is, the color they turn almost matches the background. The settings for konqueror don't appear to cover that. Unless by means of style sheet. But anyway, it seems to be more general than just Konqeror so I'm thinking it is a desktop setting somewhere. I see the same behavior for example in knode (the kde newsreader) when a message is marked read it nearly disappears in the same way.

Re: [gentoo-user] hotplug and coldplug for a hosted server?
I'm a bit confused. udev does emerge hotplug-base as a dependency. But as far as hotplug itself, this document: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml says: You do not need to install hotplug unless you want your modules automatically loaded when you plug devices in. hotplug also handles the automated bringup of network devices and firmware downloading. Yes, this is the purpose of hotplug. I use it on my laptop to automatically load my wlan driver when I turn on my usb wireless chip and then automatically start net.wlan0. So udev's hotplug-base dependency isn't sufficient for this, and hotplug itself must be emerged separately? and about coldplug: If you want modules loaded for devices that have been plugged in before you boot, use the coldplug package. Don't forget to add coldplug to the boot runlevel. coldplug is one useful if you have tons of modules installed and don't know what you need. Otherwise you can just use /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 Ok, so if I emerge coldplug and start the daemon at boot I can 'rm -rf /etc/modules.autoload.d' and all of the necessary modules will still be loaded? I'm just trying to figure out what I need for my laptop and for my server. I'd rather not have useless stuff on my systems, but I don't want anything to break either. Also, should hotplug be added to the default runlevel? The doc doesn't mention it although it does say to add coldplug to the boot runlevel. hotplug is not a service that you can start and coldplug is up to you. Are you sure about that? system4 ~ # rc-update show | grep hotplug hotplug | Also, I noticed net.ath0 doesn't display any output about connecting to the wireless AP during bootup with hotplug and coldplug emerged. I did like seeing if it was able to connect each time. Is that hotplug's doing? - Grant Regards, Petteri -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

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. I haven't been having problems with the laptop, so I'm pretty sure the issue has something to do with power management since I built power management into the kernel, but didn't emerge acpid. 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

There are two SATA disks in a hardward stripe configuration using the controller built in to the motherboard. ... I booted the latest Knoppix dated 9/23/05 and see two icons on the desktop for my drives. One for sda the other for sdb. I can not mount either. I assume this is because Knoppix is seeing each drive individually instead of the one logical striped drive it is. I'm no expert on this, but I believe that many ATA hardware RAID arrangements in fact just use their Windoze drivers to do software RAID. I'd do some research via Googling the chipset /or board's model number if I were you. I haven't found anything yet but then I haven't looked real hard. However I suspect this does not rely on any Windows drivers as the controller is managed long before Windows boots. Just after POST and before the OS starts, a brief message showing the controller is displayed. By pressing F10, I can manage my stripe. Much like I see most SCSI cards. Stroller is right on this one. Most built-in motherboard 'RAID chips' and inexpensive RAID cards are simply software RAID with a BIOS front end that can be used to create/manage RAID volumes composed of attached disks. The firmware for these RAID chips/cards simply scans each disk for its proprietery RAID metadata, and presents any found volumes as a drive to the BIOS. They also often detect problems with the arrays (missing components, etc) and present the user with boot time options to deal with these situations (boot in degraded mode, replace missing component and sync, etc). But the actual block-by-block RAID operations (writing mirror blocks, computing/reading/writing parity data, degraded operation, etc) are done in a device driver under the OS, once booted. The CPU is doing all the RAID heavy lifting with these arrangements. I see these sorts of RAID solutions as merely glorified IDE or SATA controllers with some advanced firmware in front of them. True hardware RAID do these block-by-block operations on a dedicated controller, often with some sort of NVRAM write-behind/read-ahead cache between the OS and the volume, which can survive sudden power loss/crashes, etc. The RAID volumes presented to the boot time environment and OS look like regular drives. The RAID controller hardware does the RAID heavy-lifting (parity computation, re-syncs, etc), offloading them from the CPU. Obviously these hardware RAID solutions are more sophisticated than the cheap software RAID arrangements, which is why presently, you won't find one for less than about $400 (USD), where you can find the software RAID cards for $100 (USD). Both types seem to present a similar user interface to the user, which is cause for confusion. Also, the vendors of the cheap RAID solutions don't go out of their way to inform the customers of the differences between their stuff and the hardware RAID solutions, of course, which is more cause for confusion. :-) Is there some magic I can perform at the boot prompt to get Knoppix to see the two individual drives as one logical striped drive? I can't recover the data from booting Windows because it's all screwed up and reboots itself shortly after logon. If my guess is correct then the best thing might be to install Windows on a spare drive boot from that to see the RAID as one. You might try booting with a Windows CD see if the RAID is recognised as a single partition... if you get the option to do a repair install you _should_ be able to get an at-least-mostly-working Windows install all your data intact. Recover the data to a portable drive format. Thanks. I tried an overlay install again and things seem to be going well. Copying data now. Thanks for your ideas! Drew As mentioned by another poster in this thread, there is also the somewhat too generically named 'dmraid'. (When I first stumbled across this, I thought it was some LVM2 native replacement for the good 'ole Linux RAID [md] devices. I personally think it should be given a more specific name like 'metaraid' or 'omniraid' or soemthing like that, but I digress). You may have been able to use this to mount your striped volume. From my admittedly brief reading, dmraid appears to be a metadata agnostic device mapper based software RAID driver. That is, it can understand and operate RAID volumes created using many vendors' software RAID chips and cards and their proprietary metadata formats by itself, without the need to install drivers from individual vendors. Pretty cool! However, the userspace tools for dmraid are presently keyword masked in gentoo, and the somewhat sparse documentation for dmaid seems to indicate that it's not quite ready for prime time yet. Looks interesting

The file is /etc/vmware/not_configured. The problem is that /etc/init.d/vmware and /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware disagree about whether the daemons are running or not. When you run vmware-config.pl, it starts the daemons by running /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware. Running /etc/init.d/vmware status will show the daemons are not running, but trying to start that script will fail because they actually are running. This can result in either the not_configured file being recreated, or simply failing to start some of the services.

Well... I'm afraid of temperature. I hope that's not the reason, but is the first thing that came to my mind. Maybe in your laptop (I've an Amilo Fujitsu Siemens, and when compiling OO or KDE it is really hot), when it reachs some temperature it turns off because of security reasons. I cannot find any other reason. I vote for temperature issues too. That is my experience with some Aristo laptop - it get very hot very easily and powers off when temperature exceeds 85 C. You may try to run something like this while emerging: # while sleep 5 ; do cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature /tmp/temper ; done and hope that part of that file will survive the poweroff - you will see whether temperature was raising before end. Or you may put something like: ... do cat /proc/acp. | tee -a /tmp/temper ; done in background in the session in which emerge runs and observe the temperature between compilation lines. The exact path to temperature file may differ, it will be something like /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature - and it will exist only if your kernel has necessary drivers compiled (or modules inserted). The /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperture file has about 30 bytes, 35 thousands of copies makes 1MB file, so you loop may run for 9 hours if storing one copy every second or 48 hours if appending one copy every 5 seconds.
