I have read a few things on this issue, though I do not use the product. It actually goes to a wider problem, where if javascript is on, docments can call home to wherever they are told to. This bothers many people, so they turn off javascript. Even if you don't mind that, turning off javascript is just what many people want to do. However it does exactly what you mentioned, annoying you over and over again to turn it on. I have not seen a workaround.

[gentoo-user] Error when running ethereal through ssh tunneled X11
When I ssh into one of my servers, using X11 tunneling, then su - to root, then try to run ethereal the following happens: # ethereal The program 'ethereal' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 128 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.

[gentoo-user] Shell Script runs fine directly, fails in crontab
I built the following shell script to bring up a pptp tunnel, grab a
file via rsync, change some perms, and bring the tunnel down. When I run
it directly logged in as root, I don't get problems.
/usr/sbin/pon det-cle && \
sleep 3
ppp0_address=$(/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 | grep addr | awk '{print $2}' | sed
-e 's/addr://')
/sbin/route add -net [deleted].0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw $ppp0_address
/usr/bin/rsync -avzD --progress --stats --password-file
~/[deleted] [EMAIL PROTECTED]::[deleted-path]
chown [deleted-user]:[deleted-group] ~[deleted-user]/[deleted-file]
chmod 600 ~[deleted-user]/[deleted-file]
chmod 700 ~[deleted-user]
/sbin/route del -net [deleted].0 netmask 255.255.255.0
/usr/sbin/poff det-cle
However, when I run it from cron as the same shell script (and redirect STDERR
and STDOUT to files):
ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
Which means I get errors throughout the rest of the script.
What I don't understand is why this runs fine when I run it directly but not
when I run it as a cron job.

[gentoo-user] Odd Ethereal Error
I've run into a strange ethereal error. I use system A to log into system B, via ssh -Y, then run ethereal from there. It shows up on system A. This has worked fine for a while, but now as you'll see in the screenshot, the buttons along the top are missing their graphics, and where you usually have IP's and hostnames in the black area, and lines connecting them, well, it's hard to describe. http://fire-eyes.org/gal/view_photo.php?full=1&set_albumName=screenshots&id=etherape_error_01 Any ideas? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Daniel is in a tricky position - he is the legal President of the Foundation but also has no role in the project in real life. There is no evidence whatsoever that the Trustees as a group have ever done a single thing for Gentoo in three years. The fundamental responsibility of Trustees is to ensure that legal paperwork is properly filed, they did not even do this. Grant Goodyear is getting some things done but he's doing it as one person. Chris is in a similar position. But the Trustees, as a body with specific duties, simply does not exist in any reasonable definition of Trustees.

I unsubscribed because I couldn't stand the constant bickering going on there. OSS projects always have their laundry out in the public eye and some conflict is always present but Gentoo management manages to take this to a whole new level - from on outsider's point of view, the bickering is done for the sake of bickering, and it does not result in decisions being made or solutions found. Ciaran Mcreesh - I am very specifically looking at you here. Very strongly agree with Mr McCreesh (spelling?). While I respect his technical abilities and contributions, I believe his horrible attitude, clear trolling and ability to pit devs against each other, seemingly for fun, is far more harmful.

[gentoo-user] Laptop: Thinkpad T43: Disks Very Slow Under Load, Were Fast in the Past
Hello, I'm running gentoo on an IBM Thinkpad T43. In the past, disk access was fine under load (CPU or disk). These days, the disk becomes painfully slow under moderate to high CPU usage (such as compiling) or copying more than a few MB. GUI's become almost totally unresponsive and at times I have to down the system hard. So it seems it's some sort of a change in kernels compared to the past. I have always run a vanilla kernel, manually configured and installed. Right now I am running 2.6.24.3. The system uses an SATA disk drive. Here is the boot line in grub.conf: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-stable root=/dev/sda4 rw hdc=noprobe acpi_sleep=s3_bios panic=5 elevator=cfq nmi_watchdog=0 /boot/vmlinuz-stable being a symlink to the kernel I consider "stable" within /boot/.

What is the version of the kernel where you did not have issues? 2.6.24 and 23 have a new CPU scheduler (CFS), which "should" work better than the old one. It is possible that the new scheduler does not suit your needs. Thanks for the reply. I do not recall, other than it was four or more months ago. Do you happen to know what version of the kernel that scheduler showed up in? Also, is that scheduler not irrelevant here as I was passing elevator=cfq? By the way, I did a little experimentation. I changed my scheduler to deadline, and set preemption to desktop. Before the scheduler was cfq, and the preemption to low-latency desktop. Things already feel snappier gui-wise, but I have yet to push the disk/cpu to see what will happen.

[gentoo-user] Hibernate / Suspend Problems on a Desktop
Hello, I just got a new Dell XPS 420 system. It has an Intel core 2 duo quad cpu. I wish to hibernate it to ram, though I'd be happy with any other form of hibernate/suspend-like behavior at this point. I'm using vanilla kernel 2.6.25.4. I have all the various hibernate/suspend etc options turned on. I installed hibernate-script, installed vbetool and configured the .conf files for hibernate-script to use it. Testing from console, no frame buffer, any of the actions (hibernate, hibernate-ram) bring the system down just fine, but when I power the system back up fully, I have no video signal. The system is fine otherwise, as I can blind-type "reboot" or "halt" and the system does so. I remember fighting with this same issue on my IBM thinkpad laptop. I have compared configurations and don't really see any glaring differences. Other than the laptop having an ATI card, and this desktop having an Nvidia GeForce 9600. The laptop has a single-core Intel CPU, but this desktop has a quad-core Intel CPU. There is a specific option in the kernel to enable hibernate/suspend etc for SMP/multicore systems, and I have enabled that. At this point I am at a loss, trying over and over again to get this working. Any tips would be much appreciated. fire-eyes / Fieldy -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] [OT] Tip: Firefox: Mouse Wheel Left/Right for History
Hello, Just ran across a nifty trick for firefox, and wanted to get it on the list, as well as searched by search engines. Hope this is useful. I enabled my mouse wheels left-right functionality, however, it was reversed to xorg. So I flipped it in xorgs config. Seamonkey got it right somehow, left-tilt of the wheel meant back in history, right-tilt meant forward in history. Firefox, however, needed some help. First off, firefox is set to scroll left/right on a page (such as an image/page larger than your screen) by default, which is what you'd expect. But how often do you need to do that? Myself, not often. To get firefox to use the tilt as back/forward (left/right respectively) to do history like seamonkey, you have to dive into about:config , but it's very easy. The changes take effect immediately, no restarting needed. Change the following values like so: 1) mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action int 2 If you find that left takes you forward in history, and right takes you backwards in history, reverse the action. This is likely if you had to reverse the behavior in xorg. Set these two as shown: 2) mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines int -1 3) mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.sysnumlines bool false -- Fieldy -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Does anyone have any comment about them? ATI's drivers have been buggy to the point that I avoid them 100% of the time when using linux.

[gentoo-user] Errors with External eSATA Drive (DRDY ERR / ICRC ABRT)
Hello,
I keep running into errors while using an external eSATA drive. I have
searched for information regarding this issue, and there just is not
much out there. The best information I've seen mentions that a user was
having this issue, but it went away as long as the disk was connected to
the system at boot. That is not the case for me.
System information:
- Dell XPS 420
- Intel Q6600 cpu
- 4GB ram
- Seagate FreeAgent pro external 500GB disk (USB/Firewire/eSATA)
- lspci: 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801 SATA
RAID Controller (rev 02)
- Note: I am not using the RAID functionality.
Software:
- Gentoo Linux
- Kernel: 2.6.25.8 vanilla, self-configured and installed
- Kernel config: http://fire-eyes.org/t/config-2.6.25.8-062708.txt
Reading the disk, things behave fine. When it's written to for a short
period, that is when errors begin to happen. An audible click can be
heard from the drive, transfers stop, and after a short pause, transfers
resume. This continues in a loop, with the clicking happening every 7
seconds or so. There appears to be no damage to the filesystem or
written files, everything just gets put on hold for a few seconds.
Curiously, this does not happen if I attach the disk with USB. I don't
have a firewire cable to try. The eSATA cable is six feet (1.8 meters)
long. Personally, I was a little surprised at how long this cable is; I
searched for a shorter one, and found none. I plan on trying a different
cable when I get around to it.
Here is a short collection of the errors seen when connected via eSATA
(no issues when using USB):

[gentoo-user] Reminder: Move to modular xorg (virtual/x11 masked)
If you see that virtual/x11 is masked, this is because it's time to move to modular xorg. Modular xorg has been in the tree for quite a while now, and the long-term plan to migrage gentoo away from non-modular xorg has now been moved to the next step.

Re: [gentoo-user] Reducing disk usage

This saves about 190MB or something: cd /usr/src/ ; tar cj linux-`uname -r` -f linux-`uname -r`-COMPRESSED.tar.bz2 && rm -r linux-`uname -r` obviously you'll have to untar and re-delete that tree if you actually need it. Here's a new one. Once you have more space, IF you have kde, filelight is a nice way to see space usage and track it down quickly and see it in a great visual format. Be sure to go into its settings, though, and tell it to cross filesystem boundaries, and also show small files. I'll also agree that reiserfs (3) is nice in that by default it packs tails, i.e. compresses the ends of blocks. Over a whole system this can add up to a few dozen more MB of space usable. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

My Dell Latitude D810 uses the same card and all ati-drivers in the 8.20 series work well for me. Perhaps you have an exotic setting in xorg.conf? To the best of my knowledge, the OSS radeon driver does not provide 3D acceleration (yet), but things are improving in this area. To enable it, you need to include it in the VIDEO_CARDS variable in /etc/make.conf and specify it as the Device driver in xorg.conf as usual. I don't track the daily progress of the radeon driver any more, so if anyone else knows how to get it to do reliable 3D, feel free to correct me :-) alan Using a IBM (yes, it says IBM on it ;p) Thinkpad T43.

[gentoo-user] ipw2200 + Intel Pro Wireless 2915 a/b/g: "ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting."
I am having a very irritating problem with the wireless driver and card above. Sometimes, but not all the times, it gets into this phase where the wireless drops, comes back, drops, comes back (etc) and eventually I start seeing this in kernel logs: ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. Unloading and reloading the module does not stop the issue, when it has begun. I have done some searching, and the typical advice is to make sure hardware crypto is off, by loading it like so: modprobe -v ipw2200 hwcrypto=0 However this never stops it, or even causes it to calm down a bit. The most frustrating thing, is that this does not happen all the time. I use multiple wireless networks. All of them wide open, except for one, which was mine at home with WPA. That AP since bricked (warning: avoid LInksys WRT54G v5's, i'm not the only one this happened to) so I can no loner test. But when I used it, i saw the same things as I am describing here.

There are several ways to get rid of them. The simplest way is to install fail2ban and it will create firewall rules. The next less-simple way is to change the port sshd listens on. The scripts assume the default of 22. The best way is to change the port sshd listens on, and also move to key based authentication, and disable password based authentication. In this way, even if they got the port, got a real user name, and had the right password, it would not matter -- They haven't got the key. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This is a known problem and there have been bugs open on it for a while. Not sure why it isn't fixed yet, my uneducated guess is upstream.

Yee haw. I'm using xorg-x11-7.0.0-r1. I am using their radeon driver, and trying to get glx to load. It is my understanding that it now has 3d support (glx).

Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual And the following in logs: # grep -e "(WW)" -e "(EE)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

It is supposed to offer better thread support, especially if you have an SMP or dual core system. I have an SMP system. Maybe it was just for me, but this turned into a total disaster. I later found that it was due to setting ntplonly, which apparently disables old, non-ntpl support entirely. Which is very very bad for apps that don't yet support ntpl, or something like that. My suggestion is to talk to gentoo devs, and decide for yourself if you think it's worth it. And by all means stay away from ntplonly. Today my system is ntpl (without ntplonly), on an SMP system, and I don't notice any improvement at ALL. Which is VERY annoying considering the complete insanity I went through for about a week. Yes, I know only some apps support ntpl, but the impression given to me was that it would speed up the whole system. Which is certainly not true. Yes, others can flame me. Good Luck. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks. Unfortunately, the ebuild for ut2004 is very brain dead about that. Curiously, it USED to do exactly what you said: let you swap CD's. The only way I figured out how to accomplish the install from CD's was to copy every single CD to the hard disk, which obviously takes up a lot of space and time. Like so: rsync -aP /mnt/cdrom 1 rsync -aP /mnt/cdrom 2 And so on through 6. 6 is the disk labeled install disk, I think. Then set CD_ROOT_1=/full/path/to/1 CD_ROOT_2=/full/path/to/2 CD_ROOT_ emerge ut2004 Feel free to use cp, i prefer to use rsync. The next problem you will run into (or it might come before you even get to the CD's, i forget) is that portage will try to download various large files from 3dgamers mirrors. Almost all of which time out or are unreachable, or uselessly slow. I've found that I have to go to google and look for the filename, find it somewhere else, save it to /usr/portage/distfiles and home the md5sums match. Make sure the filename is as portage expects it too, including case. There are bugs open about all of these issues, but they just haven't been solved yet. ut2004 is one of the most irritating peices of software to install on gentoo, especially from CD's, thanks to all of this. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I got everything working now. But that was a pain in the rear. > Somebody should really update the ebuild in portage. Indeed... :) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
