[gentoo-user] cups-kde-3.5.5 error

2006-10-16 Thread Michael W. Holdeman
I suddenly cannot print from anything that uses kprinter today? It fails 
stating it cannot connect to teh cups server(which is localhost).

Control Center  Peripherals  Printers gives the same error, BUT
If I go to the K button (bottom left on my kde panel)
K  Print System  Print Manager  The printer list comes up fine, and I can 
print a test to teh printer fine. It also states it is connected to 
localhost?

Anyone else see this?

Re: [gentoo-user] OT? Samba/LDAP Hell

2006-07-30 Thread Michael W. Holdeman
On Sunday 30 July 2006 02:14, gentuxx wrote:
 Hi all,

 This is slightly off topic for this list, but I thought I might get
 some response from the braintrust.  ;-)

 A while back I started to configure samba to work with LDAP.  I got as
 far as configuring slapd.conf and entering a tickler user.  Now, I
 can't connect to any of my samba shares.  Looking in the samba logs,
 when the daemon starts, it's still trying to connect to the ldap
 server to get the security.tbd.  I've verified /etc/samba/smb.conf,
 /etc/conf.d/samba, and /etc/pam.d/samba and none contain any reference
 to ldap.  But something is obviously still telling samba to use ldap.

 In an effort to get things working, I started with a *very* basic
 smb.conf, but still no joy.  Here's the global section:

 [global]
 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
 workgroup = HOME
 debug level = 10
 server string = gentoo

What version of samba? I am having fits with 3.0.23a, and authentication. I 
can't get any shares to authenticate except [public]. Nothing in the logs 
really giving a hint either, and not using ldap. I wonder if there is a 
problem we have made in gentoo? somewhere, PAM?

 Copy your System.map to /.

 If you have separate /boot and /usr partitions, the System.map file is
 searched in /.

I downgraded to synce-libsynce-0.9.1, librapi2-0.9.1, now raki and rapip work

after clearing my configs it will try and duplicate all teh records, so 
hopefully I can get raki's sync working.

 That's a rather kludgy approach. The ebuild's output states

 If you are updating from cups-1.1.* you need to remerge every ebuild
 that installed into /usr/lib/cups and /etc/cups, qfile is in portage-utils:
 # emerge -va $(qfile -qC /usr/lib/cups /etc/cups | sed

 You should also run revdep-rebuild
I did both and they did not solve the problem. They only ended up with cannon

libexec/cups/backends and cups kept error ing out.

 Do you mean lib/cups? they are supposed to be in libexec/cups? If so, you
 should file a bug.
cups is looking for it in /usr/lib/cups/backends/, but the 1.2 places it 
in /usr/libexec/cups/backends/ I placed a symling 
from /usr/libexec/cups/backends/* to /usr/lib/cups/backends* and it now works

 Did you emerge cups? It is present on my system, and epm shows me that it
 is owned by 'cups' so it should be on yours too. I have cups-1.1.23-r7
 here.

 There are no USE flags that look germaine...try re-emerging cups I guess...
cups-1.2.1-r2 does not seem to contain /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp?

[gentoo-user] kde/kdm ~x86 failure

2006-06-20 Thread Michael W. Holdeman
My up-to-date ~x86 laptop, that I updated last night now fails to start
kdm/kde. It has been working fine, after adding the necessary lines to
package.mask a month ago or so relating to xorg7 and nvidia-glx. 

I am not sure what was updated with my update last night that would
have been giving me problems. X starts fine, and I try to run startkde
from x and it starts then gives me a black screen. 

When booting kdm trys to start, gives me teh background then flashes
the login box, then just keeps blanking, flashing teh login box.

Any one else having this problem?

Any idea what was updated in ~x86 yest. that would give me problems here? I have run a current cfg-update -u.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 When booting kdm trys to start, gives me teh background then flashes the login box, then just keeps blanking, flashing teh login box. Any one else having this problem? Any idea what was updated in ~x86 yest. that would give me problems here? I

Re: [gentoo-user] mysql won't start

  You should probably recreate /var/run/mysqld

 /var/run/mysqld must have mysql:mysql permissions (drwxr-xr-x)

  And make /etc/my.cnf a symlink to /etc/mysql/my.cnf
  CLI utilities probably look for /etc/my.cnf

 No, this is not needed. CLI programs will use whatever the mysql default
 is, and mysql is compiled under gentoo with /etc/mysql/my.cnf as default.

 Greetings,

I have this as well, I think this came about with an update sometime this 
week. Mysql was not updated, but there must have been something in one of teh

 you have to rebuilt kdelibs before emerging kmail.
 libkhtml belongs to kdelibs, and usually probs like this can be solved by

Already re-emerged kdelibs after the -e world..

I have emerged gcc-4.1.1 according to the howto, and emerge -e system worked

kmail, kstars, kalzium are so far the only kde packages that fail for me.

[gentoo-user] eth1 wireless problem

2006-06-01 Thread Michael W. Holdeman
My wireless has been working fine, I don't think I even ran any updates 
yesturday, but this morning I get this

/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
 * Starting eth1
 *   Configuring wireless network for eth1
 * eth1 connected to ESSID ptfd at 00:06:25:D9:DC:2F
 * in managed mode on channel 11 (WEP disabled)
 *   Bringing up eth1
 * 192.168.14.102
 * 192.168.14.102 already taken on eth1  

I don't get that last line, why is it reporting that the ip is already taken 
on eth1 when I am starting eth1? 

ifconfig shows no eth1 setup.
I can run eth1 with dhcpcd and it gets a differernt ip, in teh same subnet, 
everything else seems fine. My eth1 wireless is set at teh static ip 
with /etc/conf.d/wireless, mostly due to using my system on several nets and 
vpn's and vmware, I just like the static ip's better, but can't figure 
this...

here is teh applicable from my /etc/conf.d/wireless 

config_ptfd=( 192.168.14.102 brd 192.168.14.255 netmask 255.255.255.0)
routes_ptfd=(default via 192.168.14.1)
dns_servers_ptfd=( 68.87.72.130 68.87.77.130 )

Any ideas are appreciated, I must be missing something... I have been 
suspending to ram lately, but this is with a fresh boot..

 Log in to your router and check what IP's are in use to what mac
 addresses.  Maybe someone got on your wireless network?

Yup, exactly what happened!  Hmm... have to check the neighbors out, and 
change teh WEP..

 Not a bug in the autoconf package, but in the autoconf scripts for php.

[gentoo-user] eth1:1 alais help

2006-03-06 Thread Michael W. Holdeman
I have a wireless card in my laptop, setup on all my ap's it is assigned 
192.168.14.102. My vm-ware is setup to use samba to share the drives on teh 
laptop. Now I have the necessity to use ap's that are set-up to use 
192.168.0.nn series ip addresses, so therefore samba does not work properly 
to share those disk drives.

I want to use possible an alaised eth1:1? and set it at 192.168.14.102 somehow 
to get samba to work correctly, and I am lost..

Any info would be appreciated.

2.1_pre4-r1. It appears to have something to do with my overlay, as I 
commented out my PORTDIR_OVERLAY line in make.conf and all is fine.
I was working on an overlay for koffice-7 (cvs koffice for kplato) I never got 
it to build so am just scrapping it anyway.

 I have a BFG Geforce 6800 Ultra OC.  Pretty beefy card, so I don't know
 if that has anything to do with it, but it runs quite fast and is very
 usable.  I put my xorg.conf in my webstorage.  Here is a link:

Thanks Ken,
I pasted your options into my xorg.config file and it works great! The only 
thing in can figure is I must have had some silly syntax error or something.

 I think they both need OSS.  Do you have your OSS emulation turned?

Chacking now, but I almost have always used Alsa and OSS compatibility modules

OK since there are world file experts out there.. 

A while back I was playing around with cvs and svn versions of kde, long story 
short they are there anymore, and as far as I can tell the files are gone, 
but portage thinks they are still there which really screws up my 
revdep-rebuild and emerge depclean's. I can't even get rid of them in kuroo, 
in fact kuroo shows the files are still installed?

[gentoo-user] BT Mouse failed

I have a cheap BT mouse I have used for at least a year on my Dell 8600 with 
kde. It has worked well, and pretty much just worked, with a little adjusting 
on the hcid.conf from googleing around. 

Now it suddenly fails after an -uvDa world that I ran last friday I think. It 
connects but just for a second. My Dell Axim still connects via BT and works 
as expected. 

Any one else have seen this, any ideas??

 Well, there are lot's of ways to 'skin the cat' here.

 Here's a good overview of some of the tools tools that you could use:
 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/security/
 security-handbook.xml?part=1chap=12#doc_chap1
 The section on Squid would apply particularly to you.

 snip
 In this case, my policy states:
 * Surfing (HTTP/HTTPS) is allowed during work hours (mon-fri 8-17 and
 sat 8-13), but if employees are here late they should work, not surf
 * Downloading files is not allowed (.exe, .com, .arj, .zip, .asf, .avi,
 .mpg, .mpeg, etc)
 * We do not like banners, so they are filtered and replaced with a
 transparent gif (this is where you get creative!).
 * All other connections to and from the Internet are denied.
 snip

 You'll most likely need a good firewall and an Aplication Level Gateway
 (ALG) to get roboust control of your networks.

 On the firewall side of things, I have taken the 'painful' but superior
 route to learning/testing/reading/test/reading_some_more/testing.
 to use raw ipfilter/netfilter to achieve fine grain control of networks.

 Others will recommend you use a 'canned firewall' technology, such as
 shorewall, fwbuilder (etc) along with various packages that create
 your ALG.

 Learning raw ipfilter/netfilter is a very time consuming process, but,
 well worth the effort, in my experience. With the help of this list,
 you can achieve robust control over your networks, but, it
 does take time.  The good thing about investing the time in a linux
 setting, is once you have a network management system in place, it's
 very straight forward to maintain, you do not have to spend money
 or waste time on vendors, and you learn how to *TEST* what you have
 to verify it works properly. Using a vendor, makes you subjectively
 vulnerable to the vendor's financial goals and technical limitations.
 You'll not likely be able to afford a company that has 1/10th the
 security expertise, that this list offers for free.

 Regardless of the path you choose, you have to test, modify and test
 your network again, with a variety of tools, to ensure robust content
 control and sufficient security.

 I'll assume you want the easy, minimal_pain route to controlling your
 networks, so I'll let the others pitch easy solutions, that allow
 use of software package  such as shorewall + squid etc.

 If you want some more links to read about raw ipfilters, just let me know.

Thanks James,
Your response is very helpfull. I was thinking about squid, fwbuilder to get 
the base up and going. I will read more, as for some reason I was under the 
impression I could use fwbuilder and then add more using raw ipfilters as I 
learned more. I have used DansGuardian and squid in teh past for content 
filtering and was happy with the way that worked, so this would just add to 
the knowledge and ops I need for that type of implementation.

Thanks again for your help, I am sure I will have more ?'s as I get into it. 
Today I have to figure out what mssql needs for my kids homeschool app, as it 
needs a dedicated mssql server, And I was hoping to put the files on my FBSD 
file server and just access from the win2000/vmware/gentoo desktops.

(and I'm late getting it setup, my wife is getting cranky about the kids not 
on their work already!!)

 What I normally do is: unpack the affected tarball, copy the

 create a patch from above the topdir with 'diff -u' between the

 The patch you show isn't one created with 'diff -u', 'patch' may

comparable, and in fact I have run kdiff3 on teh .config  files from both

Symptom: VMWare workstation and activesync will not sync with my pocketPC if I 
am running the 2.6.1113 kernel, still works fine with teh 2.6.11. 

The best info I can find so far is this in dmesg, that did not appear in teh

 Is there anything in vmware.log in the directory of that virtual machine.
 also, try running vmware from a terminal and see what error messages you
 get.

PLease don't flame me, but are you running 4.5 or the 5 series? You said the

Mick,
It can be done but is slightly more involved than just plugging in teh car 
bat. I have 3 deepcycle batts, set up for my FD base radio and 1 server using 
a 12V inverter and a trickle charger and just running the power through the 
inverter and batt all the time, that way I did not have to set up s a 
switching mechanism that would switch it over. It works well as long as you 
get a good inverter and one that is sized correctly for your power 
requirements.

 The MBR doesn't use any space, and it won't alter your partitions in
 anyway.  So to me it seems like the best route.

Trouble is when the SCSI is replaced and it is not thought of because the OS 
is on the IDE HD. For me it would be cleaner to boot with a floppy or CD and 
(even keep a couple of spare floppies). I have trouble remembering certian

 Well it's just as hard to remember that the MBR is on the floppy or the
 cdrom as it is on the SCSI disk.

 If it's about remembering which SCSI disk, just run a cron job or init
 script which installs the Grub MBR in all of your SCSI disks so you
 won't have to worry about remembering.
Thats an idea, although it isn't that hard remembering the mbr is on a floppy 
if there is one in teh machine, I don't think any of my other machines have a 
floppy in them ever, let alone at boot time...

I got the smartStart, but it won't let me set up for IDE boot. When I try to 
set-up the BIOS it will let me change most settings but says this system does 
not support IDE HD. Hence I was think ing I would boot on a floppy and have 
it find the kernel and set them machine up to use the HD. It finds the HD 
during boot up but can't boot from it...

 There is much here I don't understand.  Isn't it possible for someone

 around?  For instance,
 I seem to have

 linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r4
 linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r6

 linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r11
 linux-2.6.7-win4lin-r2
 linux-2.6.7-win4lin-r5

 of which I seem to be actually running (according to uname)
 2.6.12-gentoo-r6-kosmanor #1 SMP

 Isn't it possible to package one of these and share it?  (Provided anyone
 would trust me not to be malicious).

[gentoo-user] VPN?

2005-08-26 Thread Michael W. Holdeman
OK I have read the vpn howto, and tunneling from the howto, and to be 
truthfull i am totally over my head.

I have a LAN at the office including a freebsd file server, the server has an 
ip of 192.168.xx.xx, and several other gentoo desktops have the same +1 each. 
I have a linksys cable modem, and wireless router serving through the gateway 
of 192.168.xx.1. dns is fixed with 2 dns servers from comcast. Problem is I 
have a dynamis ip from comcast. 

I want to be able to access a desktop machine, and most importantly the bsd 
file server with my laptop, again with a dynamic assigned ip from remote 
locations.

What is the best combination, and some sort of howto for dummies would be 
great!!

Thanks in advance.

I have a dyndns account, it keeps the dns updted. I can always get to my

I need to mount the servers nfs export throught the router. I setup the 
correct ports for nfs to foreward, is that it?

If I can do that it would be very insecure, then I would disable that and 
set-up openvpn on the server to the router...


As I said I am over my head..

 always the easiest platform to use IPSEC with unless you go with a
 commercial client.  You will need to setup a certificate authority and
 understand the basics of openssl the rest is pretty simple.  It even
 works behind a NAT router or firewall.  If the vpn connection is lost
 it will re-establish it's connection automatically once it's routable
 again.  This works for both dynamic ip clients and even the server as
 long as you're using some sort of deamon to update dyndns info.

 For the most part, atleast in my area, I find comcast IP's to be very
 stable.  My IP hasn't changed in years.  My ip least just gets
 renewed.

 This looks normal. For example, if you have -ldap in USE, you are

 installed as dependencies, they are not end user software, if nothing
 needs them, they may as well be removed.

 You can run emerge world -uavDN and revdep-rebuild -p after removing
 them, just to be certain your system is consistent.

Where do we easily find a list of necessary files, system files etc... so we 
dont inaverdently remove them? For instance I am using udev for some time

Actually the problem is /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 has been the cdrom since this 
machine got Gentoo, now all the sudden it is listed in dmesg as /dev/hdc. 

I think I have some issues with the latest baselayout. My boot process seems 
to repaeat itself when loding drivers and starting the network. I need to do 
some digging.

This is probably all related to a baselayout problem, KDE is messed up with 
kdesu, I can't upgrade my nvidia-kernel, and nvidia-glx above 1.0.7174 or I 
get version mismatches.

Re: [gentoo-user] cdrom /dev/cdroms/cdrom to /dev/hdc?

 dmesg has listed it like that for a long time. Chances are in your previous
 configuration (whatever that was) you had both /dev/hdc and
 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, one was the real node and one was a symlink. On my
 system, cdrom0 is a symlink to hdc.

  This is probably all related to a baselayout problem, KDE is messed up
  with kdesu, I can't upgrade my nvidia-kernel, and nvidia-glx above
  1.0.7174 or I get version mismatches.

 Sounds like /usr/src/linux is incorrect or you just need to reload the
 nvidia module after upgrading.

No the problem seems to be that emerging nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx builds the 
files but somehow actually installs teh new gls, and not the new kernel. I 
don't know why, there have been a few bug reports about this but I can't seem 
to solve it with either. 
weird thing it has happened since 1.0.7174 as this seems to work fine. If I 
upgrade and can't start x I just downgrade to this version on both and works 
fine..

 I had the same problem this morning after updating baselayout to
 1.12.0_pre5, but the booting stopped after starting samba. Downgraded
 baselayout back to 1.11.13 and everything worked fine again.
Thought that might be it, as My laptop is really booting weird now after 
upgrading as well. It runs some init scripts twice.

 When you say su you mean root, right?  Can root launch kedit or other apps
 from the shell?
I mean drilling down the menu, utilities, konqueror file manager SU, then you 
have to enter the root password in the kde suwrapper...

Yes, root can run kedit or anything else from shell. In fact this is something 
to do with the upgrade to 3.4.1 I think. I lost konqueror as a menu item in

 I experienced some similar strangeness with the K Menu when I upgraded to
 KDE 3.4.1 but that was with the monolithic ebuilds.  Now I'm using kde
 split ebuilds (kde-meta) and everything seems to work pretty well.

 K Menu - System - More Applications - File Manager - Super User Mode

 I tried that menu option and it seems to work fine.  I can open text files
 with kedit.  I have kdelibs-3.4.1-r1, kdesu-3.4.1, and konqueror-3.4.1.

 Zac
Strange, same versions here. I re-emerged kdelibs, kdesu, and konqueror just 
today. Strange thing is that emerging the files does not add them to the 
menu's? I don't have a more programs under System. And konqueror does not get 
added to Internet section either?
I have another desktop machine and they work fine...

I had to downgrade to 79 open the affected docs, save them as the old

Sorry for replying to my own...

OK got 109, it is fine, but it wont open some .odt, and .odm files created

open the problematic files and save them as .rtf or something then re-up to 
109 and reopen them and save as .odt again. 

Any other ideas ??

 From the looks of it, k3b needs transcode if USE=encode.
 transcode needs an iconv implementation (which can be either glibc or
 libiconv, but not both).  libiconv is mainly meant for systems that have a
 non-GNU libc (BSD for example).  Assuming you're using linux, you should be
 using glibc's iconv.
hmm, went away with another emerge sync...

 When told to turn off or reboot the computer, KDM now exits to a console

 Overall 3.4.1 is feeling more stable.  The only seg faults have been on
 shutdown.  Konqueror would seg fault occasionally in 3.4.0.  This is on
 a 3GHz P4 system.
Shutdown works fine here, but I still get the occasional konqueror
