[gentoo-user] Adding gw route in /etc/conf.d/net
I've recently added a second nic and a sort of semi-dmz machine on a new subnet so my gentoo box now has 2 nics with addresses: 192.168.0.4 and 192.168.1.2. That second one was installed just to talk to the semi-dmz machine also with 2 nics at 192.168.0.19 amd 192.168.1.1 I say semi because this is really just for my own experimentation. I'm sending everything that hits my router/firewall (NETGEAR FVS-318) thru to that machine on 192.168.0.19. Its running openbsd and PF. I wanted it sort of isolated so my PF rules block all traffic on 192.168.0.19 from the rest of the local network and talks only to the incoming stuff from the netgear router. I don't really want to go on and on into a description of this but cut right to the chase: Some things endup trying to use the new 192.168.1.2 address for outgoing, like firing up a webbrowser which files since its the wrong network. /etc/conf.d/net currently looks like this: config_eth0=( "192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.0.20" ) config_eth1=( "192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) I wondering if that is the reason for my troubles. maybe I need to add a static route for config_eth1? Or something else like changing the netmask to 255.255.0.0 So its all one network (192.168.0/16) I'm a little over my head here so would like to hear from some experienced networking people as to how to go at this. I know how to set a static route using the route command ( I think) but not sure how to in /etc/conf.d/net. Just to see if I'm clear off base. I'm thinking something like: route add 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 would set a static route from gentoo 192.168.1.2 to obsd 192.168.1.1 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Oops, you're right, telinit 1 doesn't work as expected in Gentoo (are there any bugreports about it?). However, I can reboot into RL 1 just fine and umount /usr w/o problems. I can also use ls just fine with /usr unmounted, all fs maintenance tools should also work. However, after trying it out, it seems that even telinit 3 (when booted into RL 1) doesn't work properly, so using a LiveCD indeed looks to be the better option for the moment. Bye...

It just depends on the setup and USE flags. The situation has begun to improve in the default case. The telinit command is not how it's done in Gentoo. You should use rc or init.

Also, some maintenance tasks can be run when a filesystem is mounted read-only that can't be run when a filesystem is mounted read-write. So, you may be able to do some tasks without disturbing the system as much as a init 1 will do. > Partially right. Gentoo has several gotchas in runlevel 1. If /usr is > a seperate filesystem you have to be careful. Also, I've had init scripts leave things open in both /usr and /var, but these stragglers can be killed simply: fuser -mv # to list fuser -mk # to kill In my experience the processes killed will be either recreated when the service is restarted, or were not actually required for any service. > Bash by default is not > statically linked and requires readline (which is installed in > /usr/lib). Used to be a problem, isn't anymore. My bash is no longer linked to readline at all, and readline has been moved to /lib: # ls -l /lib/*readline* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Feb 24 09:11 /lib/libreadline.so -> libreadline.so.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 24 09:11 /lib/libreadline.so.5 -> libreadline.so.5.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 246528 Feb 24 09:11 /lib/libreadline.so.5.1 > ls will require libgpm which is also in /usr/lib. This was a bug at one time, but IIRC, has been fixed. My ls no longer links to gpm at all, and gpm has been moved to /lib: # ls -l /lib/*gpm* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root11 Feb 24 08:01 /lib/libgpm.so -> libgpm.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root16 Feb 24 08:01 /lib/libgpm.so.1 -> libgpm.so.1.19.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24160 Feb 24 08:01 /lib/libgpm.so.1.19.0 IMO, finding a binary in /bin or /sbin that links to a library in /usr (including /usr/local etc.) is probably grounds for a bug report, even if it's not currently causing any problems. > So you > have to be careful. One of the best things you can do for yourself is > install an all in one shell for maintenece like busybox or nash. This is a good idea, even if none of your particular examples are problematic. The crux of your argument is valid: some very useful programs reside in /usr or use libraries in /usr so when trying to umount it you must be prepared to do without those programs. > lvm is not statically linked and can require libraries out of /usr/lib > also. lvm2 is static by default, but I have enabled the "nolvmstatic" USE flag. This is in contrast to /other/ programs, like mdadm, which are just as important but only statically linked is the "static" USE flag is on. Why the developers decided this crazy behavior is acceptable is a mystery to me. IMO, lvm2 should just be using the static use flag like all the other packages. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Last time I saw this error is was because of upgrade to bash. You might
try downgrading bash to a known good version. That fixed it for my
friend. (After much gnashing of teeth since he was out of town and
provides internet services and it broke one of his eth interfaces.)

[gentoo-user] Problem with logging in as non-root user after installation is finished
I finished installing Gentoo Linux 2005.1 after a long 16 hour struggle on my system ( Pentium III, 256MB ram, 2 x 20GB ATA hard disks, CDRW drive, optical scroll mouse ). The first package ( and its dependencies) that I installed from the Packages CD was gdm. emerge -k gdm It installed fine and allowed both root and non-root users to log in. But gnome and openoffice were not installed yet. So I emerged x11followed by openoffice-bin. After that finished, I found that I could not log in as a non root user from gdm. I then tried logging in as a non root user at the command line console. My username is "anirban". Again, I could not log in and it said that my home directory was not found. /home/anirban - directory not found I then logged in as root and tried su anirban Again it gave the same message : home directory not found. But I checked and found the directory /home/anirban existed and its permissions were rwxr-xr-x and its owership was anirban. PLEASE HELP !! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Nvidia hangs Xorg
Hy there, I'm playing around with the nvidia kernel-modules and glx-drivers for x11 for a while. First all works fine, but using mozilla-firefox crashes the x-server after a while. Let me give you an example: Running firefox works, going to google as well, but going to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors and click the link "4.1 Moving focus between screens" hangs the display. I can still move around the mouse-cursor, but everything else is locked. Logging in to my system remotely by ssh, I can find the X-proccess taking nearly 100 percent of cpu-time. By restarting xdm the X-system comes back correctly. Now I'm back using the default nv-driver of the xorg-project, because that's the only way of sending this email without x11 hangs. In the future I want to use the dual-head function of my geforce fx5200 for a video-beamer. Is there another way without using the original nvidia drivers or has somebody a hint about that nasty error? thx, jonatan __ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!

[gentoo-user] Bitmap fonts with remote X
Hello, I'm using gvim on a remote X terminal a lot. Since the time gentoo replaced SuSE9 running the system where gvim is installed, I have a nice gtk2 UI, but can only use those antialiased fonts, which are nice - but awfully slow, especially on remote X displays. Scrolling through source code is a pain. When I recompile gvim without the gtk USE flag, I've got back bitmap fonts, but of course also the ugly older UI. So, is there a way to use gtk2 gvim with bitmap fonts? Thanks for any hint Maik -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

So whatever package is providing virtual/php on your system (most

virtual/httpd-php, but that should be the same package (dev-lang/php).

[gentoo-user] problem with acerhk and dri...
Hello all,I have an acer travelmate LCI803 laptop running gentoo (of course)I have followed the instructions and gentoo-wiki about my laptop and several others ressources on forum and wiki. everything was fine: * hotkeys (using acerhk)* fglrx (using latest ati-drivers )* fbsplash/bootsplash* ...until I upgrade...I switched from gcc 3.3.6 to 3.4 (folowing the instructions on wiki) then I updated xorg and ati-drivers First, i had to switch to xorg drm for my ati radeon because latest ati-drivers does not support dlloader and my hardened use flag need it (or X die with a libbitmap.a problem...)Now I can start xorg, i have a better glxgears but if I try to leave x to go in a console, I get a black screen, keyboard and mouse not responding and I have to hard reboot... Second, after gcc, and xorg/dri update, my module acerhk stop working. The module loads without a warning but no rep under /proc/driver and rmmod acerhk segfault! :-/Of course, i have recompiled my kernel and modules-rebuild'ed the external modules after my upgrades but nothing works. I can not have acerhk working nomally... Any helps greatly appreciated!!thanks in advanceBenoit

Well, the difference between the flash plugin and most other programs that play sounds is that it only supports OSS not alsa or arts. So the problem is that you either have OSS emulation disabled in the kernel or the soundcard only supports one stream at a time and another application is using the soundcard (if you are using KDE that program is artsd) > Where should I search for the solution? Assuming you are indeed using KDE it can be fixed in Konqueror by checking the "Use artsdsp..." in the netscape modules configuration tab in Konquerors properties. For a general fix see the alsa documentation on how to enable dmix for OSS emulation too. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[gentoo-user] Apache ?!?
Hi all,
Just a question. Has anyone experienced the fact that Apache is eating up all
the server resources and filling all swap space? Where do I find the reason
why? Or in what log-file do I look for what reason? The server runs a Drupal
based site if that should matter. Only after restarting Apache it directly goes
true the roof. As well as I am at the moment.
To be honest, it runs on Debian. I know, I know, if only I had the nerves to
install Gentoo on it from a distance. Then I would be as happy as my home
system running day after day without stopping, thanks to Gentoo. Only I don't
want to surprise the hosting company and tell them to please fix my ssh
connection. At least not for now ;-)
Thanks in advance, why aren't all systems like Gentoo. It could also be
possible that it's me being to stupid :-)
Cheers,
William.

Re: [gentoo-user] Apache ?!?
Hi Uwe and the rest of this wonderful world,
That's just what buggers me the most. NO. If only I did I would know how to get
back.
It's happening for some time now. Only since yesterday evening it's persistent.
When it first came to my attention I was thinking at a cron job that triggered
something, or a visitor. Even without any cron jobs running it's happening. And
it is not visitor related. At least not as far as I can figure out true there
IP-numbers and so on. I was thinking this because I had the impression that it
happened on a regular basis, every two weeks or so. When I then stopped Apache
for a few seconds and restarted Apache again everything was back to normal.
I now have been uninstalling everything that I could miss for a while, even
stopped Apache for several hours. No result. The only thing that happens is a
very slow server.
Thanks again,
William.

Re: [gentoo-user] Apache ?!?
If you've enabled server-status handler this might give you an idea of what apache threads are doing when it's eating up your resources. HTH, Sasha That's just what buggers me the most. NO. If only I did I would know how to get back. It's happening for some time now. Only since yesterday evening it's persistent. When it first came to my attention I was thinking at a cron job that triggered something, or a visitor. Even without any cron jobs running it's happening. And it is not visitor related. At least not as far as I can figure out true there IP-numbers and so on. I was thinking this because I had the impression that it happened on a regular basis, every two weeks or so. When I then stopped Apache for a few seconds and restarted Apache again everything was back to normal. I now have been uninstalling everything that I could miss for a while, even stopped Apache for several hours. No result. The only thing that happens is a very slow server. Did you change something in the apache configuration or anything else? Just a question. Has anyone experienced the fact that Apache is eating up all the server resources and filling all swap space? Where do I find the reason why? Or in what log-file do I look for what reason? The server runs a Drupal based site if that should matter. Only after restarting Apache it directly goes true the roof. As well as I am at the moment. To be honest, it runs on Debian. I know, I know, if only I had the nerves to install Gentoo on it from a distance. Then I would be as happy as my home system running day after day without stopping, thanks to Gentoo. Only I don't want to surprise the hosting company and tell them to please fix my ssh connection. At least not for now ;-) Thanks in advance, why aren't all systems like Gentoo. It could also be possible that it's me being to stupid :-) Cheers, William. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Apache ?!?
Hi Sasha and happy Gentoo people,
I have it running. I believe the lines that follow this one :
Srv PID Acc M CPU SS Req ConnChild Slot
Client VHost Request
are the ones that are going to give me an answer.
The start of the page gives me this information :
Current Time: Tuesday, 28-Feb-2006 20:14:15 CET
Restart Time: Tuesday, 28-Feb-2006 19:54:28 CET
Parent Server Generation: 0
Server uptime: 19 minutes 47 seconds
Total accesses: 219 - Total Traffic: 1.4 MB
CPU Usage: u5.88 s.8 cu0 cs0 - .563% CPU load
.184 requests/sec - 1263 B/second - 6.7 kB/request
31 requests currently being processed, 5 idle servers
This long after my swap space got filled. That only takes about 2 minutes. And
doesn't get filled with Apache not running. The CPU load doesn't rise higher
then 5%.
If I understand the lines at the bottom of the page. And the direction you are
heading at. Then my problem is site related. Only how do I know which one
causes it. Or where do I have to pay the most attention at when looking at the
outcome? Which always changes, I don't see anything looking different, or
sticking out from the rest.
Many thanks,
William.

[gentoo-user] fsck although normal shutdown
Hi, we have a box running as a fileserver (the same directories are shared using samba and nfs). It is one fs with approx 50GB and one with approx 180GB. Today we did a schedules reboot and ran into errors that needed manual repairing. Mainly this was duplicate block stuff. The fs we are running is ext3 and before the reboot we were running a vanilla 2.4.32 and are now to gentoo 2.6.15-r1. We have a 3ware controller in the box and two disks running as a mirror. 3dm2 is running but didn't report any errors. Anybody got a clue what we are doing wrong? Konstantin -- Dipl-Inf.

[gentoo-user] OT: linux filesystem + transparent compression (rw)
Hi list, what is the status of transparent compression in a linux filesystem (read/write)? wikipedia[1] says jfs has one. Is this true? I don't think so. Hans Reiser proclaimed to have a reiser4 compression plugin before 2.6.1[4-5]. Where is it? Has someone tried extz[2]? chattr(1) tells me to set the (c) attribute. But this seems not to work: writing 100MB /dev/zero to a c ./test file on a 100MB partion results in disk full. There is a true gap in the linux market. Isn't it?

There will be no repacker/resizer or any other modules for the fs until it gets merged into the kernel. During the process of getting reiser4 into mainline many things about the implementation are changing so it is probably impossible to write the compression or encryption modules until it gets merged. I don't consider it a lacking feature, just a nice checkbox to be able to check. If we get transparent compression in the filesystems (that you can toggle on and off) then that will be great news to marketers. It also could be good news to embedded people if the compression isn't too processor intensive. -- Zac Slade [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:1415282 YM:krakrjak AIM:ttyp99 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I don't have proper hardware mixing though, so when I want to hear sound with flash I usually have to restart firefox or it doesn't work. Presumably this is fixable, and is due to flash using oss rather than alsa, but I haven't really tried. On a computer with a soundcard that does do hardware mixing (and without esd installed) I could get sound with flash whilst other things were playing sound though.

[gentoo-user] mplayer sound issues
Hey folks! I'm having kind of a weird problem with mplayer. I can play some things, but not others but only under certain circumstances. I can play .mp3 files and movies. I can play anything if I'm using the arts driver as the audio output, except when I play DVDs, I get no sound. I can get sound with dvds in xine, but i can't get a decent video driver to display the video without choppiness with xine. If I use the alsa driver with mplayer, I can't seem to play .wav files. I can play them with arts however. I'd really prefer to use alsa though, because there's lag whenever I skip forwards or backwards. I use it to transcribe phone messages, so that lag is extremely irritating. Except for dvds, mplayer was working great with .wav files. I'm not sure what the difference is at all, but I'm just guessing something needs recompiled or something like that. I tried recompiling mplayer with different use flags several times, recompiling the libraries for mplayer, but no matter what I do I get the same issue. What happens exactly, with alsa in mplayer, is it'll start to play for a split second and then just freeze. The output looks like this from a console: laptop$ mplayer file.wav MPlayer dev-CVS-060217-04:46-3.4.4 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Pentium M Dothan (Family: 6, Stepping: 8) MMX supported but disabled MMX2 supported but disabled CPUflags: MMX: 0 MMX2: 0 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: SSE SSE2 91 audio & 206 video codecs Playing 2006-02-27 13-42-42.wav.

Yeah, then it's the x11-drm radeon module you're using, not the one from the kernel.

Assume I'm doing an emerge --deep --update --world I've set my ADSL router-modem to log off after 15 minutes. The sequence of events is something like... 1) emerge wants to download a package, so it attempts to connect to a server, taking several seconds to wake up my ADSL router-modem 2) emerge downloads a big package, taking a few minutes to do so 3) emerge spends the next half hour building the big package, during which time the modem-router logs off 4) emerge finally finishes building the package, and wants to work on the next one... GOTO 1 I could run a short script #!/bin/bash emerge --deep --update --world --fetchonly emerge --deep --update --world ...but I'd like to get an emerge going on the 1st package as soon as it's finished downloading, whilst having the downloads of all the other packages continue in a separate thread. When the 1st build is finished, check whether the 2nd package has been downloaded. If not, wait. Then build the 2nd package... etc, etc. The best way to describe it is as a --fetchonly emerge that launches a separate emerge as each individual package is finished downloading. The "build" emerges should be serialized, i.e. only one build running at a time, because a package may depend on the immediately preceding package. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The man page for that program is like a mile long and I don't have time to read through it right now. I'll read it later though.

Re: [gentoo-user] 3d rendering with dri radeon
While the two kernels are the same version from portage they have of course different EXTRAVERSION. For the kernel I compiled for dri I simply added '-dri' to EXTRAVERSION. So when running uname -r it yielded 2.6.15-r1-dri. The previous kernel which I am running now lacks the '-dri'.

(ie., I have absolute no idea whether this is right or not) It sounds like this may be related to the sampling frequency of the generated PCM. If some application (like arts) is using /dev/dsp and programming a specific rate (like 44100Hz), then when another application (like mplayer) wants to generate PCM, it must program a different rate (the wav file in your original message uses a 8000Hz rate). But the card cannot be changed to the 8kHz rate because the original application is still "using" the OSS device. If you play through arts, it handles the rate conversions for you, so everything works. You can test this by trying "mplayer -srate 44100 -ao arts file.wav". You can try different rates, or carefully examine the output of mplayer with an mp3 to see what rate it is using there.

Why not? Its a great feature. My (two) systems have been running entirely ~x86 ever since I installed them (years ago), and I've never had any real problems. Only rarely do I have to recompile, or downgrade, but usually it's all handled by portage anyway. Standard disclaimer applies: just because it works now, doesn't mean it will work in the future; not for production / isolated servers, etc. Note that from the comments before you modify ~arch: "... '~arch' is a superset of 'arch' which includes the unstable, in testing, packages ... 'Broken' packages will not be added to testing ...

[gentoo-user] Need help connecting a camera
My camera used to come up fine and at some point it broke and I can't figure out what changed, though no doubt it is related to a kernel upgrade. It might have been the switch to udev. I've been though the howto's and I seem to have all the correct modules (compiled in, not loaded if that matters). Dmesg says: usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5 but that is all, nothing about scsi emulation. Could that be related? One of the howtos mentioned it, but I think that was related to 2.4 kernels. Mounting (which used to work) now says: # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device lsusb says: # lsusb Bus 005 Device 001: ID : Bus 004 Device 005: ID 04a9:30b5 Canon, Inc. PowerShot A75 Bus 004 Device 001: ID : Bus 003 Device 001: ID : Bus 002 Device 001: ID : Bus 001 Device 001: ID : I'm stumped about how to approach this problem. Appreciate any ideas.

Mount is sort of special. The other program is called "truecrypt - www.truecrypt.org) which happens to be a "cross platform" cryptological container which works in Windows (fully) and Linux (partially) I'm using fuse and encfs natively under linux but looking for something cross platform and found truecrypt. It works as advertised in Windows, but in Linux, it's odd. it's installed "4755 root:root truecrypt" but I won't be able to access it any other way than either as root or using sudo. $truecrypt -vl Admin priv needed $sudo truecrypt -vl [data]... This program is _very_ lacking in Linux. It works but, it's _very_ lacking. Anyone has any other recommendation? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

In your kernel configuration, you should have: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_FREECOM=y CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DPCM=y CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_SDDR09=y CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_SDDR55=y -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] accelerate emerge
El Nino wrote: AybOwan! is there a way to accelerate the fetching part of emerge by using prozilla or some other tool? Someone else answered that question directly, so I'll try the indirect approach. Another way to speed up emerges is to download while you compile: emerge -fq foo & emerge foo Of course it only makes sense if 'foo' has at least one dependency, but if you use this command frequently it makes sense to alias it. Concurrent downloads used to be difficult, but now that Portage has locking it's reasonably safe. Still, every optimization comes with an increase in risk, and concurrent downloading is no different.

Re: [gentoo-user] mplayer sound issues
Just to keep you posted, if you're still interested; I migrated to alsa-drivers from using the kernel drivers. That alone didn't seem to fix anything. So, I updated to the 1.0_pre7-r1 version of mplayer and that seemed to take care of the alsa issue with the wav files. I'm still having trouble playing dvds though. But that's really a separate issue.
