[gentoo-user] pgadmin3 doesn't work (resolved)

Yes, you can't have a module in the kernel code-tree and another external module emerged at the same time - you end up with two different modules with the same name and that's a conflict > I tried to use menuconfig and disable it, however, the only way I can > do that is by literally disabling ALL networking - drivers and all. > > Kernel is kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r8. As Bo said, that kernel comes with ipw2100 drivers and they might suit your needs. But I have an ipw2200 card and the kernel tree modules don't work well for me, so I have to emerge ipw2200. You might find the same. > I'm considering editing the makefile and removing its dependency on > that blasted kernel configuration setting! No, don't do that. Instead read the emerge messages and do what they say. You first have to disable ipw2100 in menuconfig. It's one of the networking device drivers, so just unselect it. ipw2100 also comes with it's own ieee80211 which must also replace the existing code in the kernel. In menuconfig, go to Networking and there's a section called Wirelss (non ham radio) or similar. Enable it, and press enter. Now the config knows about wireless, but deselect the ieee80211 and ieee80211crypt stuff at the bottom of the list. Exit save and compile. Then emerge ipw2100 and ieee80211. You may get a message that you have to remove code files from the kernel tree, with a command supplied that you have to run. That's OK, just run it (the files that get deleted are replaced with the out-of-tree modules you are about to merge. Then read up everything you can on the new baselayout networking configuration. There's info on the gentoo docs, the wiki and it's been beaten to death on this list, so no need for me to repeat all that now Continue, share, enjoy alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

No, use.desc says the the X use flag means "adds support for X11". That definitely doesn't mean that it has to be a local X server. Support for X11 client libs is more like it. It all makes perfect sense: if you want to install an X11 client app, then it will have the X flag set and link against the X11 client libs. Now the app can talk X11 and have it's output display on an X server, wherever that might be. Now you decide you want a local X server.

No, if you look inside the xorg-x11 ebuild, you'll it depends on xorg-server (the actual X server itself), a bunch of common apps (xauth, xhost, xrandr, etc), 10 or so libs and 4 font related packages. So all that gets installed and no other package relies on xorg-x11 directly, they depend on eg xorg-server instead.

The solution is to > add kcontrol, kicker, khelpcenter (and any other packages that still > require a downgrade of kdelibs) to /etc/portage/package.keywords... A further point on this topic. kde-3.5.5 just went ~x86 and I've just run into this blocker myself. For some reason I had kde-env in my world, so I looked into the ebuilds to see what's going on. kde-env does this: RDEPEND="!>=kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.4-r2" S=${WORKDIR} src_install() { dodir /etc/env.d cat << EOF > ${D}/etc/env.d/99kde-env KDEDIRS=/usr CONFIG_PROTECT=/usr/share/config #KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1 EOF } So it 1) blocks kdelibs-3.5.4-r2 and greater and 2) creates /etc/env.d/99kde-env. So far so good. The kdelibs blocker is because of this in kdelibs-3.5.5.ebuild function src_install(): cat < "${D}"/etc/env.d/45kdepaths-${SLOT} # number goes down with version upgrade PATH=${PREFIX}/bin ROOTPATH=${PREFIX}/sbin:${PREFIX}/bin LDPATH=${libdirs:1} CONFIG_PROTECT="${PREFIX}/share/config ${PREFIX}/env ${PREFIX}/shutdown /usr/share/config" KDEDIRS="${PREFIX}:/usr:/usr/local" #KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1 EOF so it writes it's own 45-kdepaths-3.5 which conflicts with the same settings in kde-env. Fair enough and kdelibs-3.5.4-r2 is blocked for a similar reason. But src_install() in kdelibs-3.5.4-r1 has only: cat < ${D}/etc/env.d/45kdepaths-${SLOT} # number goes down with version upgrade PATH=${PREFIX}/bin ROOTPATH=${PREFIX}/sbin:${PREFIX}/bin LDPATH=${libdirs:1} CONFIG_PROTECT="${PREFIX}/share/config ${PREFIX}/env ${PREFIX}/shutdown" EOF No conflict with the settings from kde-env, so kde-env & kdelibs-3.5.4-r1 work together. What's so special about kdelibs-3.5.4-r2 and greater that they must supplant kde-env (apart from the order the files are read in /etc/env.d)? I can't decide if this is a bug or the devs are trying stuff out. There's also NO bugs listed for kde-env on bugzilla, so I thought I'd ask here first and get some comment alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I'd overlooked that -s had an optional argument with formail - and while I'd realised I probably wanted procmail to deliver messages, I hadn't realised that I could have separate configurations as easily as that.

I am not going across the internet, or anything wild like that, just trying to keep an eye on my box (the active desktop in fluxbox) when im elsewhere in the house. So far all the VNC HOW-Tos etc that I have read involve what appears to me to be very overly complex tunneling over ssh etc (a good thing if I was going over the internet, but for what im doing, totally un-necessary) When I lived in the Fedora world, I could just install vncserver and start it up and it connected me to my active desktop and away I went.

File manager? Other applications that help to keep it lean an fast? Man, I've installed gentoo in a Pentium III 450MHz with 128 MB RAM. The apps I've installed were: - KDE: It was very fast, but it took four days a week to compile. If you think that installing KDE doesn't worth the effort (if you are afraid that KDE may be sluggish), install slackware with KDE just to see how it will perform on that hardware. - OpenOffice.org: I was able to run OOo. It was a little (yes, just a little) slow, but worked well. I also recommend you to install koffice, because it is lightweight. - The Gimp, Inkscape, Thunderbird, etc.: were swift and fast. DO NOT install firefox. It is crappy on slower machines. Stick with konqueror and avoid headaches. Everything should run better than you expect on that machine. If you are in doubt because of performance concerns, try slackware just to test what you can be executed on your machine. With gentoo you'll have to compile everything (and it will take a week), but it will pay the effort, because everything will be faster. ___ Novidade no Yahoo!

I've also used -O2 on my Pentium 2 Celeron system without any problems. I used to run -Os back on my Pentium 200Mhz days, and that works fine too ;). Honestly, however I never did any benchmarking between the different -O settings on any of these machines, so I'm not sure they were the best setting to use. These were recommendations I'd gotten from the forums. Caveat: there is no GUI involved on either of these systems, just headless servers.

You eventually get their, but the price is usually extensive. The more you install these older machines, the smoother, somewhat, it gets. I use them for firewalls, and minimal servers.

He and many other astute gentoo-embedded folks hang out at: gentoo-embedded@gentoo.org Which desktop/X package you intend to use, or a X-client is something that I have not looked into, in using gnap. Others on this list or on the gentoo-embedded may be able to provide recommendations and advice is gnap it the way to go for your needs.

Human > nature, perhaps. Hello Michael, Actually, it's not as far fetched as one would anticipate. There are quite a few wikis that show how to build a cd for lower speed processors from a faster machine. Someone with skills would only have to define what's different, between a 200MHz AMD vs a P2 and set up thoses few different files once. As different older machines are added these few files would be customized for the various (common) arch's of the various older machines. Then lots of admins could each manage a few machines for the kids in our neighborhoods. I'd do mine over wireless ethernet and thru the local cable tv network. I've collected up lots of old hardware for this purposeoneday. CFengine would be keen to push/manage binaries down to these machines over TCP/IP. Distributable CDs would be great for recruiting new members to the Gentoo community. Therefore we would not have to perform all of the compiling on these machines, just distribute binaries at night once a month or so, or print/distribute a CD to the kids and others with lesser skills/resources. The only trick is to put up a light-weight desktop, that would be appealing to many. With an open-mosix kernel, we could even cluster these machines for aggregated power, once open-mosix stabilizes on 2.6 kernels. That way, a group of gen_bunto users could pool their individually meager resources into something special, or as more old machine become available, each kid could build their own cluster: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Mythtv_With_ Diskless_Workstations_in_an_OpenMosix_Cluster That's the gentoo differential: if the gentoo community was to embrace this effort, it could easily put together something awesome and unmatched by any other distro/operating system, anywhere. Here in the US, there are lots of place that will give you working machines, if you just show up to haul them away. That number increase exponentially, when you are willing to spend $5-25 dollars. Eventually, the gentoo community will get around to this need for a binary distribution for categories of similar/common machines. Recruiting kids into gentoo, would be the smartest move possible, for the future of Gentoo, in my opinion. It's easy for me to motivate schools/clubs/groups of kids to use linux, it's just difficult to organize and time consuming, under the current gentoo semantics. After using Gentoo for a few years, I'm getting rid of my openbsd and debian boxes. I like the concepts that drive *buntu, I just strongly prefer gentoo. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It'll prompt you for a password, then you use a vncviewer to connect to that host (format: host:display, so if your server was 192.168.0.200, it would be 192.168.0.200:1).

The -march= value in your CFLAGS (on the machine building the image / packages / binaries ) should be the lowest common denominator for any CPU that will run the compiled binaries / install the built packages / receive the imaged HD. While the code generated under -march=pentium-4 might run on a PII, it's not guaranteed. Of course, CHOST should also be set to the common denominator but everything Intel above and including the PII is 686. You can use a -mtune= value in your CFLAGS to optimize intruction scheduling for a particular processor, generally the most common in your "fleet". The code generated under -mtune=pentium-4 will run on a PII. -mtune may make scheduling decisions that adversely affect performance on processors other than the one specified to improve performance on the chosen processor. -- "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 pgptAJBq7iC92.pgp Description: PGP signature

Emerge xinetd, if not already installed 2. add a vnc file to /etc/xinetd.d - mine looks like: service vnc { type= UNLISTED port= 5900 socket_type = stream protocol= tcp wait= no user= nobody server = /usr/bin/Xvnc server_args = :42 -inetd -once -query localhost -geometry 1400x1050 -depth 24 -fp /usr/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/ -co /usr/share/X11/rgb disable = no } 3.

I created a perl regular expression for matching against IP addresses and tried to pass it to grep, but it wouldn't return anything. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[gentoo-user] Can smbmount handle long passwords?
Due to a little bit of paranoia I have found an interesting, though rather annoying, bug in smbmount. If a samba user's password is longer than 23 chars, smbmount just cannot deal with it, producing the following error: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed Googling was not much of a help, neither was searching through gentoo bugs and gentoo forum. Although there are a couple of forum entries which are probably related but were never actually solved: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-429074-highlight-samba+errnoaccess.html http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-418048-highlight-samba+errnoaccess.html Another interesting thing is that the bug is definitely not related to samba server configuration: smbclient still works perfectly well. Using mount.cifs is OK as well. Does anybody have a slightest idea what could be the problem solution? >From the former forum link one can conclude that it is a specifically gentoo problem, though I cannot check this, as I don't have any other linux distribution available right now. So should I file a bug report? I can understand that, say, 24 chars password could seem too long, however I don't remeber that such limitation was documented somewhere. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Lightwheight Gentoo System
A solution for this old computer to install it quickly is to use anothoer computer for compiling it after just use the binary package results ! On another gentoo or any other system else, create a directory, decompress stage 1 and start an install like you will do on old machine After, just install all you want on it, so run a live on old box, prepare computer (partition), just go to before uncompress stage1, so copy you installation from other computer on it, make kernel, lilo/grub so reboot, all done you can save a lot's of time ! After all install, you want to add something, no prob, just use distcc and configure it to only use other computer to compile (not localhost :)) Well, Kde can be really fast, but you have to select package manually (don't use "kde" portage, it install lot's of think) just install all you need, one by one, konsole, kwin, konqueror ... think to clean USE for a minimalist kde install other desktop that could by good is gnome, but don't really know how to enlight it Xfce-4 is really light too, firefox could by a little be long to run (need some memory ...), with kde you have konqueror but render not really the same, you have to see Use correct compilation option: -Os -march=i386 (or i486 .. depend on exact model of computer) Gentoo could be adapt to any system I think For just fast and ultra light install on old computer, I would prefer Debian Sarge distribution, fast to install, really optimizing for small system, easy update ...

Those files have been changed (probably by fix_libtool_files.sh) and now portage cannot match them to a package. This is why revdep-rebuild doesn't report any packages to rebuild. I can see a few kivio related files, try to remerge that package. If that doesn't get rid of the broken /usr/lib/libkivio*.la files then they are probably obsolete and can be deleted.

[gentoo-user] gentoo mirro rsync policy
Hi Guys, Is there a policy for the syncing of the mirrors, that would prevent inconsistencies? I'm not talking about inconsistencies with the master server(s), as that would be kind of difficult to have atomic syncing between all servers involved. What I'm referring to is inconsistencies in terms of me syncing with a mirror. I can't count how many times I've had a problem, gone on a wild goose hunt, and then ended up syncing again and it works. Could this be due to one of the mirrors doing a sync, while it's own rsync is still accepting connections? If so, then I may get a portage tree that is not properly synced. If each mirror's rsync is not shutdown during syncing, wouldn't it be better if it actually was? I think we'd rather get a connection refused message, and have *emerge* try another mirror, than to have an inconsistent portage state, don't we think? Any thoughts? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Xorg 7.1 and Legacy Nvidia Drivers
I say in the newsletter that the stabilization of Xorg 7.1 was being held up until there where updated drivers for Nvidia that added support for this version. So does this mean that you MUST use the latest Nvidia driver to use Xorg 7.1? I know that I had an issue with the libraries not getting stuck in the right spot using legacy drivers with Xorg 7, but I assume there is some additional issue here am I correct? My problem is that I cannot use any driver after 7664 with my Geforce4 MX460, despite the fact that it is listed as one of the supported boards on the newer driver. Every time I try it, my screen goes blank and the system completely locks up. So I guess I have two questions: Does anyone know how to make 7664 work with Xorg 7.1 (I haven't tried it yet)? Does anyone know of some configuration I might be doing wrong that is preventing the new drivers from working? Thanks, Troy -- "Beware of spyware.

Possibly, because dd would trip up on the deliberate errors. I'm tweaking that script you wrote. Here's what I have: #!/bin/bash echo Enter DVD filename: read FILENAME mount /dev/cdrom TITLE=$(vobcopy -I 2>&1 | awk '/DVD-name:/ {print $3}') vobcopy -m || exit mkisofs -dvd-video -V $TITLE -o $FILENAME $TITLE || exit rm -rf $TITLE umount /dev/cdrom Can you tell me what purpose the "|| exit" portions serve? Also, how can I run the script by typing /path/to/getdvd? I've tried: chmod +x getdvd and: chmod 0777 getdvd with no luck. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

"Ext3 journalling file system support" Yes I did as the 2 other hard disks are of ext3 format. Other question about my problem: is it possible that it would be a sector problem, and that those sectors would contain the journaling of ext3? And that would be the reason why I can mount it as ext2 and not ext3? And therefore, do I need to perform a low level format in order to bring everything as new? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
