RE: [gentoo-user] Avahi Keeps failing on Emerge - Maybe a Python Error?
I'm sorry about the delay in closing this. I finally figured out if I remove -pipe from my /etc/make.conf CFLAGS that all my compile errors go away. Looking at the reference on the subject this option tells GCC not to create temporary files when compiling but to turn this off if low on RAM. Not sure why this happens as I have a 1GB Ram. Maybe this is not enough these days. Anyway problem solved. Regards, Richard === Try to find out why this strange configure command line is being called (take a look at the ebuild) Also, there are other logs you can post. I don't remember exactly the names, but I think there are multiple configure log files like configure.log and configure.error (or something like that) that says exactly why did configure concluded that a certain feature is missing. The log you provided does not say why configure concluded there is no pygtk, but configure usually *does* explain this (is specific log files. Do a little search).

RE: [gentoo-user] Avahi Keeps failing on Emerge - Maybe a Python Error?
Hi, Avahi keeps failing with what looks like a Python gtk module error that I can't seem to figure out. I've done the obvious by re-emerging python (with running python-updater) and pygtk but it still fails. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Richard The configure failure message is: checking for python module gtk... no configure: error: Could not find Python module gtk Yet emerge confirms pygtk is installed.

[gentoo-user] ipw in kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.22-gentoo-r9
Hi - Can anyone give me pointers on how to get ipw2100-firmware working with kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.22-gentoo-r9? It works fine with kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 where it's compiled in the kernel but the same set-up fails in kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.22-gentoo-r9. When I run emerge ipw2100-firmware it seems to install OK, but the kernel can't seem to find the module. Thanks, Richard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] No /etc/resolv.conf with dhcpcd
Hi - For a while now when I run
# dhcpcd eth1
I get an IP address OK but no DNS. I've established that a
/etc/resolv.conf file is not being created when the command is being
run.
There's a script invoked at some stage called
/etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc. This is creating a file with all the DNS
information called /var/run/resolvconf/interfaces/eth1 (or eth2
depending on the interface raised). However it's not then creating
/etc/resolv.conf. I can get around this by running my own script to
copy
the DNS information to /etc/resolv.conf but it would be good to figure
out why it's not working.
I attach output of my /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc below if anyone can
help. I've tried reemerging the package (unsuccessfully).
Thanks, Richard

[gentoo-user] Booting Gentoo from a floppy and then chroot to finish install on old PC
Hi - I've got an old PC at home I want to use as a samba server. It doesn't have a CD drive and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to create bootable gentoo floppy. I've been using Toms linux to wget and re-install the stage and portage files but the kernel is to old and fails on chroot. Apart from the obvious comment to buy a CD drive ... Is there anyone out there that has Gentoo 2.6 kernel that will boot of a floppy and can tell me how to do it? The only other command I would need to perform would be chroot.

That will work just fine. Just copy it there and then emerge will see it and do its thing. What http or ftp address goes to the package area where I can download? Thanks, Richard

Re: [gentoo-user] Network works OK internally but can't access Internet - very frustrated
Do you have your dns configuration correct? please check you /etc/resolv.conf file. Does your DHCP server send nameserver to the client? Thanks for your reply. When the interface is up /etc/resolv.conf has a name change to /etc/resolve.conf-eth2.sv and contains the following: # Generated by dhcpcd for interface eth0 nameserver 61.9.208.14 nameserver 61.9.208.15 Which is the primary and secondary DNS on my cable modem for Telstra. So I guess the DHCP server is sending the nameserver info. Still no go ... Regards, Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Network works OK internally but can't access Internet - very frustrated
Hi - After a last emerge --sync I've been having trouble accessing the internet. My network interface comes up OK. I receive an address for the DHCP server (i.e. eth1 received address 192.168.0.7/24) and I can see and access my Intranet webpage on 192.168.0.xx and copy files to and from various machines. However if trying to access the Internet I keep getting unknown host when pinging sites I know will respond. My machine dual boots into XP and runs fine. I've checked the Gentoo handbook and config files and confirmed my network config files look OK (they seem to). Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks, Richard
[gentoo-user] net.eth0 net.eth1 net.eth2 persist in trying to come up even though not in any run level.
Hi, I recently upgraded my system with emerge -uDN world. Afterwards I found that net.eth0 was grabbing my firewire port (ieee1394) and I needed to create net.eth2 for my NIC as net.eth1 was being assigned to my wireless. My problem is that although rc-update show indicates all my interfaces are NOT being loaded other than net.lo at boot (which is what I want) my system keeps trying to start net.eth0 net.eth1 net.eth2 in the default run level. Can anybody help? It's very frustrating waiting for these interfaces to try and connect before timing out. I've always run my network connection on this basis as Gentoo is on my laptop and depending where I am will determine which interface I want to use. Thanks, Richard

Hi - I'm a genkernel user ... Is it OK to manually edit /usr/src/linux/.config with nano? It's quicker than going through he --menuconfig menu sets at times. Thanks, Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] I'm a genkernel user ... Is it OK to manually edit /usr/src/linux/.config with nano?
Yes. Make sure next time you run genkernel on that kernel source you specify --no-clean and --no-mrproper, or copy the .config to /etc/kernels/kernel-config-version, otherwise it will wipe out your changes. p.s. Don't reply to an old mail just to keep the To:. Thanks Mike -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Throttling State won't change from command in Gentoo Power Management Guide
Hi - I've been setting my laptop for power management by following the Power Management Guide and have successfully got cpufreqd running. However the CPU still gets hot on large compiles. I thought maybe changing the throttling state would cool things off but when I run the command from the power management guide echo -n "0:T1" /proc/acpi/processor/C000/limit it returns the error -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument I tried opening the file with nano -w and got the same message when saving the changes.

[gentoo-user] GCC Upgrade Problems - Why does emerge --sync not work
Hi there, I've been trying to upgrade my Gentoo Laptop to 3.4.6 with the upgrade guide.. Everything seemed to go OK except now when I issue emerge --sync I get the message Starting retry 3 of 3 with rsync://140.211.166.165/gentoo-portage Checking server timestamp ... rsync: failed to connect to 140.211.166.165: Connection refused (111) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(107) [receiver=2.6.8] . I thought maybe I would repeat the upgrade process but can't get passed emerge --oneshot sys-libs/libstdc++-v3. The compilation starts and then always seems to freeze at In file included from /var/tmp/portage/libstdc++-v3-3.3.4/work/gcc-3.3.4/gcc/expr.c:39 /var/tmp/portage/libstdc++-v3-3.3.4/work/gcc-3.3.4/gcc/recog.h:227: warning type of bit-field mode is a GCC extension. I have a feeling I removed all the old GCC versions previously with emerge -aC =sys-devel/gcc-3.3* which is why it keeps failing. Another problem is that my laptop randomly freezes solid since upgrading GCC necessating a power cycle in order to get going again. I'm sort of thinking of rebuilding my system from scratch (presumably with emerge -e system and then emerge -e world) or am I just wasting lots of time. I susppect I've done something stupid ...

[gentoo-user] My CPU seems to run hotter with Gentoo as opposed to Windows XP
Hi all, I've loaded Gentoo on a Compaq nx 6150 notebook which reports a Intel (R) Pentium (R) M Processor 1.73GHz Stepping 08 CPU at dmesg. For some reason the CPU seems to run very hot with a lot of fan activity compared to when I boot XP, plus overall performance seems slow in comparisom to XP with Gnome freezing for a few seconds on occasion as though the system is stretched. Does this make sense to anyone? Is there a way of cooling how the CPU runs? Thanks, Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] cannot login after emerge --update --deep --newuse world crashed
Hi all - I was running emerge --update --deep --newuse world over the weekend when I had a power outage and my computer crashed. For some reason ever since then I cannot login. If I enter Root at the login prompt the computer thinks about it and then just returns to the login prompt. Obviously something has gone wrong with my authentication and I'm just wondering whether anyone can give me guidance on how to fix this. I was able to boot from the Gentoo Stage 1 Livecd and chroot into my system but resetting the password with passwd didn't work. I suspect I need to emerge the relevant modules again but don't know which ones. Any help would be really appreciated, thanks. Richard -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

--newuse doesn't take CFLAGS into account. If you really want to rebuild your whole system, the standard way is: emerge -e world But I don't think it is really necessary. These flags can cause build failures, but not really any runtime problems, AFAIK. -Richard Thank you very much for your assistance. -- Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

For email I'd check if there are folders like ~/.maildir, ~/.mail etc. etc. and copied those as well. The standard Evolution addressbook is stored in ~/.evolution/addressbook/addressbook.db. Did you copy that one? Are you using other addressbooks e.g. on a LDAP server? I'm only running POP mail accounts, nothing on LDAP.

[gentoo-user] Using tar to backup my system
Hi ... I've just spent ages compiling my laptop. I'm really happy with the result ... So fast ... What I want to is create a directory called /backup and then create a tarball using the command # tar -zcvf /backup/mylaptop.tar /[all directories] except /backup (as I don't want to go in circles). I'm then going to copy off the resulting tarball to my server in case my laptop dies (I'd rather not have to recompile everything).

SCSI? I have this idea it's not SCSI. Sony sold this CD-ROM-on-a-string for their sub-notebook Viaos of the PII - PIII era. I think the PMCIA card optical driver were both hardwired to the cable and it was certainly never implied that the PCMCIA card might be used with any other kind of drive. Google finds a photo at http://www.allnotebooks.ru/img/compl/51.gif I installed Gentoo on a Pentium II 400 Vaio Picturebook, the Sony with a 6 widescreen (1024 x 480??) but never had one of these CD-Roms available, only the floppy drive. In fact I cheated resorted to removing the hard-drive installing Gentoo on it using a desktop PC before returning the drive to the laptop. I think it might be possible to avoid this by installing from stage 3 - that mostly just needs to be unpacked onto a Linux-formatted partition, doesn't it? There are surely Linux distros that'll boot on this device so a pre-compiled kernel could be copied across from another machine and then only grub needs to be run, I think. Richard: does Knoppix boot from this CD-Rom drive? An Ubuntu LiveCD? Perhaps it might be worth trying an older (2003, 2004) Gentoo install CD. A Google for parallel port cd-rom linux returns, amongst others, this page http://cyberelk.net/tim/parport/paride.html so I reckon your drive is probably supported by the kernel. Stroller. Hey Stroller ... You got the model in 1 ...! I think you're correct. I'm going to try and use partition magic under Windows 2000 which is the OS it came with to create my partitions and install a stage 3. I'll let you know how I go. Hopefully having an EXT2 partition will help Knoppix start properly. Thanks, Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] X will NOT run in framebuffer mode
Knowing what video chip is involved, what kernel module you're trying to use with it, and what settings you have in Xorg (the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be good here), would be useful info to have in order to attempt to help; we are not psychic (this week, as far as I know). Also, are you trying to run in framebuffer mode (and it's not working, obviously), or are you not supposed to be running in framebuffer mode (so you're making an incorrect request when starting the X server, which needs to be corrected)? Holly I finally got around to rreading the X.org site ... Basically I was being lazy ...

RE: [gentoo-user] I think I messed up USE flag by using -alsa as Gnome has no sound
At this stage I'm doing # emerge --update --ask --deep --verbose --newuse --tree world as setting alsa on is asking quite few items to want to recompile. OK, stop where you are.

Obviously recompiling with USE=alsa worked. I am however going to work through your very informative post.

[gentoo-user] I think I messed up USE flag by using -alsa as Gnome has no sound
Hi - I've just finished compiling Gnome and have no sound whatsoever. Looking at my USE flags I noticed I had inadvertently set -alsa as a flag. At this stage I've changed the flag to alsa and re-run genkernel. But still no sound. Do I have to recompile everything from scratch or have I made an incorrect diagnosis of the problem?

RE: [gentoo-user] Windows XP - Gentoo - Lilo Loader Question
Hi Holly, thanks for your reply Basically my question here is why exactly did you install the bootloader to hdb instead of hda? I installed to hdb as I only have 1 NTFS partition on /dev/hda and don't want to muck around with my XP install as my family will kill me if I muck it up ... Do you want to keep the Windows bootloader for some reason? See above ... Anyway I figured out how to use XP boot.ini and dd if=/dev/hdb1 bs=512 count=1 of= /mnt/floppy/linux.bin to copy the lilo boot sector. I then copy this to c:\ on /dev/hda and make sure it is referenced in boot.ini. I've now got a different issue (I think) ... The XP loader activates lilo on /dev/hdb but it stalls. Basically starts to write LILO to screen but stalls at L freezes and goes no further. I've seen this before somewhere and thought it was disk related. So far I've tried to fix it by removing substituting lba32 / compact / linear from /etc/lilo.conf (yes I /sbin/lilo and recreate the linux.bin file for the XP bootloader). The drive is a 200MB Seagate. Anybody any ideas ...? Thanks (as usual), Richard -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

RE: [gentoo-user] Perl Upgrade Problem
I believe that you are mistaken about what is blocking the Perl upgrade (no fault of your own, block messages are hard to read). I think that the blocking (currently installed) package is perl-core/File-Spec-0.87 not Perl 5.8.5 whatever. So that is what I would unmerge, not Perl, then try the emerge again. It sometimes happens that a *module* can block the upgrade of a language because the module is installed with the upgrade or something along those lines. Hope this helps, Holly Thanks Holly. I'm obviously doing something wrong ... I can't seem to get emerge to remove the offending package. Below is the output I'm getting. I'm probably making an obvious mistake ...

[gentoo-user] Configuring /etc/cups/cupsd.conf for external client printing
This is for any newbies out there like me ... I spent days trying to figure out how to get a Gentoo linux laptop to print to a Gentoo server through Cups. I was consistently getting connection refused messages from the print server. In order for the Cups server to accept incoming requests it is necessary to change Listen 127.0.0.1:631 to Port 631. The default configuration binds the 631 port to Localhost resulting in all external port requests being refused. After making this change then edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf for the security settings you want to allow for external access. This may be obvious to most of you, but it drove me crazy until I figured it out ... Alan -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

[gentoo-user] Laptop Internal Modem not recognised
I don't think my internal modem on my IBM laptop is being recognised at boot.

Thanks, Richard This has to do with the printing support of samba, your smb.conf is probably configured to share printers as well as files, and when samba tries to access the print spooler to find out what printers are available it fails to connect. Samba regards this as non-fatal as it can still provide useful services by sharing files and directories. You should be able to find more information about samba's printing support in their HOWTO or FAQ documents. Thanks ... All fixed ... Richard -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[gentoo-user] Kmail will not star KDInit Error
Hi - I've just installed a Stage 3 off my livecd. After installing KDE I found Kmail will not start. It returns a KDInit error. I made a mistake before installing KDE in that X was not configured correctly and I'm wondering whether this has contributed to the problem. I had not run xf86cfg before installing KDE. Ideally I would like to uninstall KDE entirely and start again as when I installed Gnome after running xf86cfg it runs perfectly with no errors at all. I just can't figure out the command as although everything installed ok with # emerge -k kde nothing uninstalls with # emerge -C kde. Any help would be really appreciated.

RE: [gentoo-user] Re: rc-update net.wlan0?
I'm attempting to get wireless up and running. First time on Gentoo. I have used ndiswrapper on FC2 which this machine used to run so I have ESSIDs, mac addresses and keys that are known good. I've emerge the wireless-tools stuff and have an edited /etc/conf.d/wireless file with my values in it. ndiswrapper is modprobed and ready to go. Now I want to start net.wlan0 but I don't have a file in /etc/init.d and nothing shows up in rc-update. I've been watching this thread with interest as I'm trying to do the same thing with a PCMCIA wireless Belkin Card. I 'm just confused about a couple of items. What does ndiswrapper on FC2 mean? Also what wireless tools packages are emerged? Ironically I installed PCMCIA card services, put in the card, edited /etc/conf.d/net to make eth0 go up on DHCP and it sort of works. By that I mean everything runs OK but I notice an error on boot where there is an obvious conflict with eth0. Regards, Richard -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
