[gentoo-user] b43-legacy and newer linux kernels?
I have a laptop that has been running Linux Kernel 2.6.30 Gentoo-R8 (gentoo sources, don't remember which version) for a while. It has a Broadcom 4306 Rev 2 wireless card that has been working well with that kernel. I extracted the firmware from the broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5 blob a while ago using b43-fwcutter 011. I have to hard-code the network settings in /etc/conf.d/net for my home network, but am able to use wpa_supplicant whenever I go elsewhere. (I think it's my home wireless router that causes the issue; probably needs a firmware upgrade.) Any how, I recently upgraded to Linux Kernel 2.6.34 Gentoo-R7 (gentoo-sources 2.6.34-r1); again using the b43-legacy driver for the wireless. However, now I can't keep a network connection up. I keep getting errors from the /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 startup - namely: SIOCSIFFLAGS Unknown Error 132. I had to reboot onto the older kernel to write this message and try to research the issue a little. From on-line, some sites suggest the following as a solution: rmmod ath9k rfkill block all rfkill unblock all modprobe ath9k rfkill unblock all however, rfkill seems to only be in testing for gentoo (http://packages.gentoo.org/package/net-wireless/rfkill), and I'm using the b43-legacy instead of the ath9k driver - okay, no problem there, just switch out which driver is unloaded and reloaded. Haven't tried it yet as I have to reboot; but even so - they are saying this has to be done on every reboot, and that's not much of a solution. Further, I can't seem to find a version of b43-fwcutter that will extract any of the b43-legacy firmware - even the one I had successfully extracted (011, 012, 13). Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know if this gets resolved (or made worse) by a newer kernel? Ben
[gentoo-user] automatic wlan restart
Hi folks, I'm regularily loosing wlan link (not sure if its a driver problem or disortion in the local air) and so have to restart the wland interface quite often. As the box is also doing several automatic things (backups, etc), it's really ugly (eg. when I'm not on keys, at some point no backups can be made, etc). So I'm looking for a way to fully-automatically restart the interface when the link goes down. Of course, I could hack up some syslog parsing, which calls '/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart', but that implies the interface going down (iow: ipstack will report no route to destination network back to applications) for several seconds. Does anyone know an better solution, which just reconnects to the same AP w/o taking the interface down (maybe even buffer the packets while physical link down) ? cu -- -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weig...@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 -- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme --

[gentoo-user] emerge conflict
Hi
i get the error:
{
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been
pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
media-libs/libpng:0
('ebuild', '/', 'media-libs/libpng-1.4.3', 'merge') pulled in by
=media-libs/libpng-1.2.43-r2:0 required by ('ebuild', '/',

'x11-libs/gtk+-2.20.1-r1', 'merge')
(and 27 more)
}
And i wonder that it seems not to be possible to install both libs
(libpng-1.2.43-r2:0, libpng-1.4) in the same time. Linux is actually
able to manage this by the lib-version and links.
Did i have overseen any gentoo switch that makes is possible? Or is
there any other option?

You have misread the portage output. It does not say it wants those versions.
It says this:
=media-libs/libpng-1.2.43-r2:0
=media-libs/libpng-1.4
Note the greater than or equal to.
The limiting factor to multiple versions is not Linux, it is portage. Portage
will not co-install two versions in the same SLOT.

This whole libpng mess was a right royal fuck up several months ago. I forget
the specifics but IIRC a decent solution was
emerge -C libpng
emerge libpng
revdep-rebuild
The last step takes some time to complete, there is a lot of fall-out to deal
with.
As you are only hitting this now, I assume you have a stable system and are
not using the masked versions of portage. @preserved-rebuild would save you
lots of pain, but that feature is not available in stable versions of portage.
For more info, check the archives. There is more mail there about this than
you could ever possibly want to read.

[gentoo-user] Problem with revdep-rebuild
Hi all! I'm trying to update my gentoo after a long time. I tried the update (emerge -uD world) but I got some problem about conflicting and missing libraries, so I've uninstalled some software. After that, I ran an revdep-rebuild, but it do not works. When it tries to emerge xfce4-panel it always gives this error during the build process: /usr/lib/libxfce4util.la: No such file or directory I tried to re-emerge the libxfce4util package, but with no luck : that file do not exists!!! Any idea? Thanks in advance, Massimiliano

When emerging libpng, it mentions a script that needs to be run. I would

I think the following commands were the ones that led to a properly upgraded
system. It is now working for me, but it did take quite a while.

/usr/sbin/libpng-1.4.x-update.sh

Alternatively, you could always try to one that should always work:
emerge -vae world
(NOTE: This will rebuild _everything_)
Btw, if you are using KDE, you might, like me, also hit issues with akonadi

One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - gnome-base/eel-2.24.1 (masked by: package.mask) /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Pacho Ramos pa...@gentoo.org (12 Jul 2010) # Masked for removal in 30 days. # No longer developed by upstream, fails with forced as-needed (bug #277169), # does not compile against gnome-desktop-2.30 (bug #311563). but I want to upgrade my system, and love to solve this Pango Cairo problem if you have anymore ideas, I would thank you. Do you know about the -t option for emerge? It shows you which package is responsible for pulling in another package. You might also want to try euse -I cairo which will tell you which packages are affected by the cairo use flag. Your emerge --info shows that you do have cairo turned on, but as Alan states, you should show emerge -pv pango or emerge -pv cairo (or whatever package you're trying to fix). Pango doesn't has a specific cairo use flag so you may need to recompile pango's dependencies. Basically, what you're trying to do is step back from the package that's giving you the trouble, and compile the packages that your problematic package needs to function. Obviously, this is a geometric expansion to some extent, but revdep-rebuild is there to help you solve the puzzle. Also, qdepends is really handy.

[gentoo-user] JACK breaks at random
On a system where I can't use OSSv4 for sound (due to MIDI) and need to fall back to ALSA, I've hit ALSA's insane latency issues and therefore decided to use JACK. I'm trying to set-up a machine suitable for music/audio production. But JACK just stops working at random. Sometimes it works, but after a a while it doesn't anymore. And when that happens (which happens sooner rather than later,) restarting JACK (with qjackctl) doesn't help; only rebooting the machine does, which as you can guess is very annoying. I'm appending the error message in case someone can help me figure out what's going on.

Certificates contain the public key of an asymmetric public/private key pair (which would have lengths like 1024 or 2048). The message about 128 bit will refer to the symmetric crypto that kicks in after the asymmetric has been used to pass the symmetric key. So, i'd say that the certs are not the problem.
[gentoo-user] backup sanity check
This is to backup my laptop from boot cdrom - how does it look? File systems; /dev/sda1 - /boot /dev/sda2 - swap /dev/sda3 - / So to backup; 1.

Get /: dd if=/dev/sda3 | gzip | dd of=/otherdisk/sda3.bin.gz Then too restore onto new disk; 1. Restore MBR: dd if=/otherdisk/sda-mbr.bin of=/dev/sda - no bs or count parameters required? 2. Restore /boot: dd if=/otherdisk/sda1.bin of=/dev/sda1 3. Restore /: dd if=/otherdisk/sda3.bin.gz | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda3 4. Setup swap partition: mkswap /dev/sda2 5.
