James James 2008-12-01T15:27:16 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/206172 My back-up box has an irritating problem, which was discussed here in a thread which ended 080731 (msg 73690) apparently unresolved. At boot, it says "populating /dev with existing devices thro' uevents ... ". On this my everyday machine, it all goes successfully & very quickly, but on the other it says "waiting for uevents to be processed" & takes a very long time to finish whatever it's doing ( c 2 min ). Both machines have Udev-124-r1 & I copied /etc/udev/rules.d/* from this one to the back-up & rebooted it, but without any change. Was this problem ever resolved ? Does anyone have suggestions ?

My user is in the USB group : 'usb:x:85:haldaemon,purslow'; in /etc/fstab I have : '/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,user,umask=000 0 0' (I never use > 1 USB device at a time, so this is ok). Till last week, it worked as expected & there's been no change in Udev rules. I've made a work-around by amending the Bash alias I use to mount it to alias musb='mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb ; chmod 777 /mnt/usb' , which does solve the problem, but is there a more conventional method ? Philip Webb 2008-12-01T10:42:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/206139 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody! First of all: Lanmap (http://www.parseerror.com/lanmap/) - "lanmap sits quietly on a network and builds a picture of what it sees." Since Lanmap is not on the official portage tree, does any of you know any overlay that provide ebuilds or any other way to "canonically" install Lanmap on Gentoo? I checked the developer's website and found out his Subversion Repository is currently offline. He links to "zipped snapshots of revisions", but they are all very old (latest from Mar/2006). I know there is a package of Lanmap for Debian, but I don't know whether it is up-to-date or not. In case there is no answer for my questions, do any you recommend an alternative for Lanmap? Thanks in advance.

Box: 6176 University of Campin Ricardo Saffi Marques 2008-11-30T12:36:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/206134 I updated audacious and audacious-plugins from 1.4.6 and .5 to 1.4.1-r1 and r3, respectively. It comes up and seems to operate fine, but it won't play my ogg files. It doesn't even seem to try. I downgraded to 1.4.6/5 and it plays fine. I'll be testing it on mp3 files today, I hope, to see if it's a problem unique to 1.5.x. Anyone else having problems with audacious 1.5.x?

Does anyone know of an VFAT analyzer/editor? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Have a nice weekend! mcc meino.cramer< at >gmx.de 2008-11-30T10:06:57 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/206128 Hi All, I've exported TMOUT=1200 to make sure an absent minded colleague does not leave his console logged in as root and walk away. This has the desired effect - except that when I am su'd in via SSH it also kicks in and logs me out midstream whatever I have been doing at the time. Is there something to take account of user activity before allowing TMOUT to kick in? Mick 2008-11-30T09:48:15 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/206121 Hi all, i noticed a strange behaviour on my macine recently. Something is continuously filling up my root partition at a speed near 1k per minute. I have just few programs running and none of them should save that much information on the disk. Now the problem is that i have absolutely no idea of where to start to investigate. Anyone have ever got a similar problem? Thanks to all, Davide Pupino 2008-11-30T01:15:20 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/206115 A few years back I installed gentoo and everything worked fine, except that the OS bootup messages were too "big", and scrolled by too fast. Somewhere I found a tweak (IIRC, it involved recompiling the kernel) that handled it fine - i.e. the font was reduced dramatically after the bios was booted, right at the beginning of the OS booting. Today I replaced my monitor with an HDTV monitor which works fine during the bios boot; works fine after X is booted; but is "shakey" and unreliable during the OS boot. I have worked around these symptoms by adding vga=ask to lilo.conf, and then telling it to use vga. Questions: 1. Anyone aware of a wiki or other gentoo "help" that describes how to change the boot message "size" during boot? It is possible that I simply added a framebuffer, but it seems that I changed some config. somewhere as well. 2. Anyone have a workaround for using a new HDTV monitor with an older ATI graphics card?

I did not find Lifelines. I haven't uncovered any other project names as yet.

What software is worth trying ? Thank you very much for your help in advance! Kind regards, mcc meino.cramer< at >gmx.de 2008-11-29T15:07:59 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/206093 Can anyone tell me if there is a desktop pager that can be run regardless of window manager? I suspect the kde (kpager) might do it but I'm not willing to fuss with the kdelibs and qt-3.3 pkgs required to install it. Browsing through portage, It appears there is not such a critter.

The fan that came with the 4000+ always sounded like it had one speed and it was quiet. The 6000+ comes with a fan that seems to have two speeds and the faster speed is pretty loud. Can I get the fan to never increase to the higher speed? - Grant Grant 2008-11-28T17:32:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/206038 I use Ubuntu for every day but as my box has a spare 40GB hard disk I decided to have a go at installing Gentoo on it for evaluation Using the handbook documentation for AMD64 I burned a basic installation CD, booted it up, and followed the instructions for installation on the spare drive. Everything went fine; I partitioned the disk with a 32MB ext2 sector for /boot, a 512MB swap sector, 10GB for root and the rest for /home. I had no trouble with the network, successfully downloaded everything that needed to be downloaded and unpacked it, successfully chrooted to the new system, and reached the compiling the kernel section without a glitch. And the then the trouble began. I emerged gentoo-sources, and it ran fine for about five minutes, and then (choosing the moment when I decided all was well to go and make a pot of tea, the system rebooted itself. I booted up the disk again and went through the chrooting process. When I went to emerge gentoo-sources again, emerge looked for the dependenc R C Mitchell 2008-11-28T11:36:14 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/206036 Hi folks, I have a pretty old install tho I have moved it from one drive to another once, using cp -av. It got to big for the old hard drive. Anyway, the install is about 5 years old or so and about 3 years since it got moved. I have Gentoo on it naturally, a ship load of pictures and a few other standard documents and such. I found something called frag check on the forums a long time ago and I got this from it: I emerged shake and ran it on each partition then got this: I'm not sure but it looks like it is more fragmented now than it was. It may just be that given file sizes and such that that is as good as it gets. Here is some additional info: Is a little under 10% normal and acceptable? As you may notice, I use reiserfs. It has never been more than 10% that I can recall, even when it does its checking during bootup. I'm not sure what is more accurate, frag check, shake or the check during boot up. Shake is new to me so it does not make much sense yet. Give me a while on it. LOL If Dale 2008-11-28T11:14:42 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/206031 Regarding kernel maintenance, mostly from the point of view of security, which is the best way to go: 1) Having gentoo-sources in /var/lib/portage/world, which would mean the sources would be upgraded whenever portage marks a newer version as stable (provided someone follows stable)? 2) Not having gentoo-sources in /var/lib/portage/world, which would mean the sources would be upgraded only as a dependency for some other package (which is quite improbable/rare)? (or, I may be missing something :-) ) Thanasis 2008-11-28T08:41:55 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/206014 Yesterday, I tried upgrading from gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r9 to 2.6.26-r3, but the new kernel can not mount the root filesystem, because it's on a RAID1 on an SIL680 controller. In the previous kernel I had CONFIG_PATA_SIL680=y , but in the new .config I cannot find any PATA. # grep -i pata .config (gives nothing) Has it been removed from the newer kernels? Thanasis 2008-11-27T18:47:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/205988 Modules are not autoloading since initial install with gentoo-sources 2.6.25. I have since upgraded to kernel 2.6.27 but the issue persists. In my previous Gentoo install and other Gentoo installs, autoloading modules worked. I do not know why they are not loading in this case. I have the following: mythfe01 mythtv # cat /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 abituguru ftdi_sio lirc_i2c Yet on reboot, these modules don't load. Loading manually works fine: mythfe01 mythtv # modprobe abituguru mythfe01 mythtv # modprobe ftdi_sio mythfe01 mythtv # modprobe lirc_i2c Can anyone tell me where my error may be?
