[gentoo-user] KDE 4.4rc2 Network Manager Applet
Hi All, I've just installed KDE 4.3.95 from the kde overlay and was expecting the network manager applet to be installed by default but it doesn't appear to be. Does anyone know how I install this? Is it an ebuild that's not part of the @kde-4.4 set? Cheers, Dave.
Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 4.4rc2 Network Manager Applet
It's ok I found it. kde-misc/knetworkmanager. I had a local ebuild that was overriding it which didn't compile and that was confusing me. Cheers, Dave.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE-4.3
Ah. Got it. Don't know how I missed that. It's been a long day and I
must have missed that I didn't have 1.41.8 installed.
Thanks,

Look at the output again. You don't need an earlier version of

you need the very version that is the blocker.
But, to install KDE, portage wants to build util-linux first and it can't do
that because you have an incompatible version of e2fsprogs-libs already
installed. So like I said earlier,what you need to be is *first* give it a
version of e2fsprogs-libs, then remerge kde whereupon you will likely find
that util-linux no longer complains (as it likely finds a version of
e2fsprogs-libs that it is happy with)

Hi there, Is the problem that you've got 4 partitions this prevents you form making a 5th? Because using LVM I would simply create a new partition and add it to the volume group. The contents *should* indeed remain intact if one simply deletes the partition recreates at the same starting point, yet larger.

Stroller. Yes, part of the problem is that I can't create a fifth partition. However, even if possible, this wouldn't have been my ideal solution anyway as it would negate some of the performance benefit gained from having one huge partition over the whole array. But my real question is, as I've reached the max partition for the msdos partition table, can I migrate to a GPT partition table without losing my data? Cheers, Dave.
[gentoo-user] fdisk - expanding a partition beyond 2TB
All, I've just added a fourth disk to my Raid 5 set increasing the capacity from 1.5TB to 2.25TB. I have 4 partitions on this volume set; the fourth of which is 1.49TB which is then further subdivided using lvm2. So using fdisk I deleted partition 4 and recreated it from the same position which expanded the partition to 1.99TB. I later realised that it should have expanded to 2.24TB so I did some googling and found that you can't create a partition 2TB with fdisk. I found a page that suggested using GNU parted to create partitions of this size but it didn't mention whether this would work to expand a partition. So basically does anyone have any experience moving from an fdisk partition table to a GNU parted partition table without losing filesystems, data, etc? Cheers, Dave.

The point of the exercise is to remove my 2 consumer grade routers from my network as neither were very good and I wanted to improve the security of my network. I actually got it sorted today but thanks for answering. In case anyones interested I've now got 3 VLAN's. 1 each for each of the Internet connections and 1 for the rest of the LAN. The Gentoo server is on all 3 and runs PPP with PPPoE to each of the 'modems'. As a note it's interesting that PPPoE to 2 different devices conflict with each other but putting them on different VLAN's works brilliantly. When a PPP connection fails the ip-down script switches the default route to the ppp1 device and ip-up switches it back to ppp0; very smooth! I'm not using the L3 functionality of the switch as I was originally intending as the server does the routing. Cheers, Dave -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Replacing my router
I have 2 Internet connections, 1 fast ADSL and 1 slow wireless as a backup. My router doesn't do automatic failover or even have support for multiple WAN connections so I thought I'd set up PPP connections on my Gentoo server that do PPPoE to the 2 modems which I connected directly to my switch. This worked well but I soon realised that my server was offering up DHCP IP addresses to machines on the otherside of my wireless connection! So what I want to do is setup my switch as a router. I'm a bit of a newbie on advanced networking but I think that a router is basically just a switch with a VLAN for the local network and VLAN for the WAN. Is this assumption correct? If so I will setup 2 VLAN's on my switch (a Linksys SGE2000). Also how can I setup the NIC on my server to be connected to both VLAN's and only do DHCP for the local VLAN? Should I be able to or need to prevent one VLAN from seeing the second VLAN? What is STR and do I need to set this up? Any other suggestions?

[gentoo-user] Netboot questions
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have a EMT64 server that runs a mythtv backend as well as other things and a AMD64 mythtv frontend which has been running with its own hard disk and therefore install of Gentoo for sometime. I am looking at building another frontend without a disk so I thought I'd experiment with my current frontend. I have managed to get it booting using PXE, I copied the hard disk contents to a directory on my server and followed the rest of the howto, but I have the following questions/problems: 1. I can still compile/emerge on the frontend but its very slow as its on NFS. Can I compile on the server by chrooting? Basicallly I want to know if I can compile on EMT64 targeting AMD64. The frontend was installed with stage 1 so I guess the compiler won't even run in a chroot'ed environment. 2. The Gensplash is compiled into the kernel. It appears at startup with the 'Initialising kernel' screen but the progress bar never appears. It just shows that screen until X is started. Any ideas what might be wrong here or where I should start to look? 3. My DHCP server issues static routes, but since I've made the frontend boot over PXE (static IP address) it never gets the routes. Any ideas?

[gentoo-user] dhcpd and routes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
I have a Gentoo server that is running Cisco VPN software to connect to
my companies VPN. I have setup the server as a NAT for the specific
subnet required for the VPN and the rest of my traffic goes through my
router (192.168.1.1). I currently have to manually run the following
command to setup the route:
route add -net 10.4.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.200
On my Gentoo server I run dhcpd to allocate IP addresses for machines on
my LAN. The current configuration is:
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.199;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
}
So the question is how can I setup dhcpd to automatically setup the
route command for all clients using the dhcpd?
Cheers,
Dave.

[gentoo-user] Dodgy hardware?!?!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a MythTV frontend running Gentoo on an AMD 64bit with an Nvidia 6600 graphics card. I have had no end of problems with the graphics card (Xid errors). It crashes with a white line across the screen regularly when 3d goom is up when I'm playing music. I've so far been putting it down to the nvidia driver but I'm beginning to think I may have a dodgy stick of RAM or something as I also get Segmentation faults when doing emerge's on occasion. When this happens it says its an OS error and retrying the emerge normally fixes it. How can I find out what the problem is? Is there a way of testing the RAM? Is it possible that it is the nvidia drivers still (I am often playing music when I run an emerge)?? Any help much appreciated.

Please can someone help. I urgently need to get this machine back up and running. Cheers, Dave. I'm running dual SATA Raptors with udev 70, kernel 2.6.12-r10. Just did a reboot to confirm that I could. So it is possible. Any info in dmesg? How far in the boot process do you get? -Roy Both machines are now back up and running with udev-068-r1 so I can't get the dmesg for when it went wrong at the moment. I'm running kernel 2.6.13-r4 on both machines but I tried booting with 2.6.13-r3 and 2.6.12-r10 and they made no difference. The drives in both machines are Samsung Spinpoint SATA drives. This is the only thing the machines have in common: The server is a P4 2.8 with Hyperthreading and therefore an SMP kernel while the HTPC is an AMD64. I will upgrade udev to 070 again on the HTPC and try to get the dmesg for it a bit later on. The machines busy at the moment. When I do this, is there any other information I can get from the logs etc that will help? Cheers, Dave. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Network collisions
Ok, I've fixed the problem. I've plugged both systems into my router (which is a switch) and they are working fine now. There is obviously a bug in the 8139too driver. I'll have to live with the long cables going to the switch for the time being though!! Cheers for everyones help. Dave. James wrote: Dave Oxley dave at daveoxley.co.uk writes: Yeah, its a hub. I'll stop trying to set it to full duplex now. It is 40 times quicker in one direction than the other. Can you give me a hint where to go from here. Try connecting the 2 systems with only a 'cross-over cable' run the applications and make measurements. If this results in an increase in the bandwidth in either direction, you may want to put systems back on the hub, and have a third system run ethereal. Look at your data traffic and see if anythingelse is using the bandwidth from either of these 2 system or what else is plug into the hub/switch. Is the hub a 10Mbps only hub/switch, check that. On 10 Mbps ethernet hubs,you can never reach the full 10 Mbps, in fact with many systems chattering,the practical throughput is marginally around 33%. If when you are on the cross over cable and you get similar poor results,then the problem may be in the ethernet driver code, kernel, irq settings or some other low level part of the kernel/modules, especially if you get the same skewed results with several different applications moving data between the systems. But, if when you move data between these 2 isolated system, and get different bandwidth performance semantics, then the problem is most likely between the applications or a bottleneck in the application code (poor data structure for example). Make sure you computers are not resource limited, thus blocking the processthat you are running to move the data. Top and ntop are just a few toolsto help track down these sort of issues. Sadly, you may have a complex mix of part or all of these aforementioned issues... hth, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi Mark, Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I had already tried power cycling my hub and it made no difference. Cheers, Dave.

Re: [gentoo-user] Network collisions
Ah right. I did not know that! Yeah, its a hub. I'll stop trying to set it to full duplex now. I still have a problem though, the collision rate is 11-12% when copying to the client and the performance is terrible: Copying from Server to Client (i.e. receive) 170.3Kb/sec Copying from Client to Server (i.e. transmit) 7.383Mb/sec It is 40 times quicker in one direction than the other. Can you give me a hint where to go from here. Cheers, Dave. kashani wrote: Dave Oxley wrote: Hi Mark, Thanks for the reply.

Is it really a hub or are you just referring to yous switch as a hub? Assuming you have a switch I'd attempt to set full duplex without turning autoneg off... that sometimes helps. You might also try emerging the unstable ethtool3 as it supports more cards then the default ethtool2 and has some bug fixes. Some cards work better with mii-diag so you might try that as well. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Its on board the motherboard. I could put a second NIC in but I don't want to waste the pci slot. This is an HTPC. Dave.
