[gentoo-user] Memory stick problem
All - I am having a problem with my USB thumb drive. If the drive is connected to the system on boot, the device file /dev/sdb is created, and I'm able to mount and use my thumb drive normally. If I remove the thumb drive and then replace it, or attach the thumb drive after the system has booted, the device file is not created. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this? I have tried a kernel with the USB drivers compiled into the kernel and compiled as modules, and I get the same thing. The output of dmesg is as follows: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 ehci_hcd :00:1d.7: port 4 high speed ehci_hcd :00:1d.7: GetStatus port 4 status 001005 POWER sig=se0 PE CONNECT usb 1-4: config 1 interface 0 altsetting 0 endpoint 0x83 has an invalid bInterval 200, changing to 11 usb 1-4: default language 0x0409 usb 1-4: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-4: Product: Actions Mtp Device 01 usb 1-4: Manufacturer: Actions Semiconductor Co., Ltd. usb 1-4: SerialNumber: 6D621ABF495E2A428FBF6E6C854E549D DEV: registering device: ID = '1-4' PM: Adding info for usb:1-4 bus usb: add device 1-4 usb 1-4: uevent usb: Matched Device 1-4 with Driver usb usb: Probing driver usb with device 1-4 usb 1-4: usb_probe_device DEV: registering device: ID = 'usbdev1.4_ep00' PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.4_ep00 usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 1-4: adding 1-4:1.0 (config #1, interface 0) DEV: registering device: ID = '1-4:1.0' PM: Adding info for usb:1-4:1.0 bus usb: add device 1-4:1.0 usb 1-4:1.0: uevent usb 1-4:1.0: uevent DEV: registering device: ID = 'usbdev1.4_ep01' PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.4_ep01 DEV: registering device: ID = 'usbdev1.4_ep82' PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.4_ep82 DEV: registering device: ID = 'usbdev1.4_ep83' PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.4_ep83 DEV: registering device: ID = 'usbdev1.4' PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.4 drivers/usb/core/inode.c: creating file '004' bound device '1-4' to driver 'usb' usb: Bound Device 1-4 to Driver usb Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

[gentoo-user] Portage through a proxy

[gentoo-user] Suspend questions
List Members - I have trying to set up Suspend on my Dell Latitude D620 laptop. The laptop is currently running a 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 kernel. I emerged the suspend2 sources, copied the .config from the 2.6.19 directory and ran make oldconfig. I then configured the suspend options in the kernel via the docs in the wiki. When I try to boot the suspend kernel, the system fails to boot because it can't find any of the filesystems located in my /etc/fstab. The reason for that is because the suspend kernel is configuring my hard disk as /dev/hda and my standard kernel is configuring it as /dev/sda. Does anyone know how I can get the suspend kernel to assign my hard disk as /dev/sda? Thanks, James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Firefox fonts
List members - I am trying to run Firefox on my Gentoo laptop, and I am having trouble with the fonts. Everything else in my KDE desktop looks fine except for Firefox. I believe that it has something to do Firefox using GTK instead of QT. From my research I have found that one way to fix it is to adjust the GTK Styles and Fonts options in the KDE control center. I do not have that option available to me. I installed KDE using the split ebuilds and emerging the kdebase-startkde package. Is there a use flag or a separate package that needs to be installed to get the GTK Styles and Fonts option in Kcontrol? Is there a config file located somewhere that I can edit to change the fonts in GTK apps? Thanks, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I am trying to emerge sys-fs/device-mapper on an older piece of

seems like an awfully long time to me. As a comparison, I was able to

ideas as to what the problem could be. I didn't see anything on

Re: [gentoo-user] / becomes read only
A disk timeout error could cause a filesystem to be remounted read-only. And if /var is on the same disk, you wouldn't necessarily see the errors (since, after all, it is now read-only!). I would start by making /var a separate filesystem if you haven't already. Heck, put it on a different virtual disk if you have to... -Richard -- Richard - Thanks for the suggestion. I have moved /var to a separate virtual disk. Hopefully this will give me some clue as to why the root filesystem keeps becoming read only. If it does turnout to be a disk timeout do you have any suggestions as how to fix the problem? Thanks, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] System Suspend...kind of OT
List members - I have a laptop that I dual boot with windows and gentoo. My gentoo installation has software suspend working. When I run the hibernate script the system hibernates and then powers down. When I press the power button on my laptop I am then presented with my lilo boot menu and I can choose Gentoo, and resume my session. Now when I boot into windows and I suspend my session...the session suspends and my system powers off. When I press the power button the system automatically resumes my windows session and I am never presented with the lilo menu. Is there a change that I could make to my windows suspend options so that when I press the power button I am presented with the lilo boot menu and I can choose to resume either windows or gentoo. Thanks for any input that you may have, and I apologize if this is too off topic for this list. -James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Logitech cordless
List members - I am trying to use a Logitech cordless keyboard and mouse with my gentoo based laptop. When I try to boot into linux the cordless receiver is never enabled. After doing some research on google it appears that the easiest solution is to use a USB to PS2 adapter for the usb connection, but unfortunately that will not work for me as I only have one ps2 slot. Does anyone know if there is a kernel option or a third party driver that I could install to enable my cordless keyboard and mouse. Thanks everyone for all of your help over the last few days. regards, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Detecting when a USB device is attached
