ah that's possible, my boot swap and / are all 1 partition

if emerge -1 portage doesn't work delete all the ebuilds and resync... what a mess =(

its an animated gif, most of facebook wont let you post it either. http://www.free-dc.org/forum/image.php?s=93354297371e631656d6ef8ee63f9ef3&u=1026&dateline=1180324853 http://forums.funtoo.org/user/327-whiteghost/top left fades in and out.... my alpha channels for the obey avatar do not show properly either, mines also a gif.

post the exact message, set the higher up driver as a Y then the lower driver should also be able to be set as Y

per gentoo wiki intel Wireless 3160 iwlwifi sys-firmware/iwl3160-ucode or sys-kernel/linux-firmware Requires kernel parameter Device-Drivers->Network device support->Wireless LAN->Intel Wireless WiFi MVM Firmware support

use screen, tmux, or mosh. this will prevent disconnection mid merge. post output of emerge -av world it should say rebuilding already installed same version packages, or that its updating to new versions what have you.

did you emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware? post dmesg of the funtoo install post lspci -k post lsusb instead if its a usb device. are you using network manager? post which method you're using to connect to wifi. uhhh to post the dmesg & lspci copy them to files then access the files when you chroot to emerge linux-firmware or what ever, you could access them just by mounting the funtoo drive on your live distro

ok my 2.6ghz quadcore with 8 gigs of ram and 48000 sample rate audio card should play audio exceptionally well... enough is enough.... to fix this: load up vlc, press ctrl + p go to audio, bottom left show all settings click audio, disable audio resampler click SRC resampler, move to linear save, restart vlc, you wont have to restart or pause videos to get the audio to behave again. i mean seriously vlc, the audios polished on the dvds. it doesnt need antialiasing, refactoring, pre amplification, compression, etc as its played.

append to /etc/boot.conf "memtest86+ 5.01" { kernel memtest86plus/memtest } boot-update also misgenerated for me, but its close... i get messages saying that i need to use linux16 instead... well i already knew that was going to happen =P for now: remove memtest entries from /etc/boot.conf, and append the correct entry to the bottom of grub.cfg boot-update cat >> /boot/grub/grub.cfg << EOF menuentry "memtest86+ 5.01" { linux16 /boot/memtest86plus/memtest } EOF

for the most part yes... dont forget to throw in any tools packages for btrfs, and follow its caveats. (ie test it on a virtual machine first, or prepare for dataloss in advance ;-)

gentoo's taking a hit from our presence also. Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 39 (330), 6 months: 40 (313), 3 months: 44 (310), 4 weeks: 46 (304), 1 week: 44 (301) the moral of the story is post to the wiki accurate eclectic information, and high quality content... not a bunch of stub articles. arch is a roller with no installer... it's top 10 Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 8 (997), 6 months: 9 (914), 3 months: 10 (897), 4 weeks: 9 (842), 1 week: 13 (824) again they have tons of presence, tons of high quality articles... were aiming for top 10, but this takes massive amounts of effort... i try to post articles that will answer recurring questions from google searches, or if they're too lazy, and ask anyways i can quickly end the conversation with a link. if a wiki page is missing the content people want to know, ill add it once i've tested it. if i haven't tested, ill usually note that or word it less than secure & firm. the website has approximately 1,500 hits a day. i've been working a bit on linuxforums.com helping people and letting them know im from the funtoo community. i keep getting locked out of https://www.linux.com/communityso if you want to start talking to people about issues that would be great.

ugh i hate grub, however as it is default for the distribution i will work on this issue for you, and provide documentation. i deployed the memtest + lilo instructions on the wiki so its my fault... ill stop teasing you :D bzcat /usr/share/doc/boot-update-1.7.1/boot-update.8.rst.bz2 bzcat /usr/share/doc/boot-update-1.7.1/boot.conf.5.rst.bz2 bzcat /usr/share/doc/boot-update-1.7.1/boot.conf.example.bz2 this needs in /boot/grub/grub.conf -- boot update generates this.... (cat /etc/grub.d/39_memtest86+ from the memtest ebuild instructions is how i discovered this) menuentry "memtest86+ 5.01" { linux16 /boot/memtest86plus/memtest } append to /etc/boot.conf "memtest86+ 5.01" { kernel memtest86plus/memtest } boot-update

yay ive finally found an rss app that is suitable to my needs.... ill start documenting it so EVERYONE can watch our rss feeds =D its fairly light weight and has a few gnome deps... ill test it on the xfce4 only laptop to see if its absurd for twm/fluxbox/openbox/lxde/lxqt users wait a second, it doesnt say which feed has updates.... it also has trouble fetching news, forums wiki and bugs are also sporadic, maybe if i change them from atom to rss.... this is good enough for now so long as it doesn't present more problems, it seems a bit dated..... rss guards looking really slick.... rssguards seriously out of date, id like to rewrite it's ebuild to give the option to leave out the terrible webkit. https://bitbucket.org/skunkos/rssguard/downloads quiterss is garbage, rawdog is shipping broken configs or something it wont start... amphetadesk is an init.d daemon of some sort

i dont know, i use ntpd... cat /etc/conf.d/hwclock clock_hctosys="YES" clock_systohc="YES" mkultra@spaceball-1 ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/hwclock status * status: started that makes the system read cmos time at start, and write cmos time at halt.... the kernel has some RTC stuff to do it also.... dig through the issue and start documenting solutions plz, im busy trying to figure out entropy stuff for ssl security. "In-kernel method[edit] On a sufficiently modern kernel (3.9 or newer), Linux can be configured to handle setting the system time automatically: KERNEL Device Drivers ---> [*] Real Time Clock ---> [*] Set system time from RTC on startup and resume [*] Set the RTC time based on NTP synchronization The hwclock init script should not be ran when using the kernel's real time clock. Opting for this method will speed up the system's boot and shutdown processes slightly." -https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ntp i did document sufficiently ntpd, the kernel entry is not mine though. did that work for you? if not you're probably going to have to change your clocks adjustment thing /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Detroit /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT uhhh for you its PST8PDT i think....

do you have ntpd or crony installed? if so are they writing to the cmos at halt?

well long story short... emerge haveged /etc/init.d/haveged start but, word around the camp fire is this is not as cryptographic secure as a true random number generator, or as fast as a hardware rng. what other options do i have? my northbridge is nvidia... https://developer.nvidia.com/cuRAND on gpu rng would be sweet. rng-tools = rngd hardware rng entropy gathering daemon mkultra@spaceball-1 ~ $ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i rng CONFIG_CRYPTO_RNG=y CONFIG_CRYPTO_RNG2=y * in kernel psuedo rng.... # CONFIG_CRYPTO_ANSI_CPRNG is not set * probably the one i need to access amd rng if i have a hardware rng # CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_RNG is not set mkultra@spaceball-1 ~ $ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i rand CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM=y CONFIG_ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE=y CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=y CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_TIMERIOMEM=m CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_INTEL=m CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_AMD=m CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIA=m eh eh?!?!? im starting to doubt that my processor has a rng built into it. haveged = havege alg rng, needs patching/forking clrngd = hardware clock rng, needs documenting, chews on the processor when entropy is low. audio-entropyd = sound card static rng, these need rebuilding so that entropy security checks are disabled. audio-entropyd -d hw:0 -s -s removes checks to ensure randomness, and speeds things up video-entropyd = video static rng... out of the tree, needs patching to disable security checks, needs patching in general. timer_entropyd = timer rng, very old, probably needs patching.... check entropy available, cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail dev-haskell/entropy = no, not what im looking for https://github.com/pwarren/rtl-entropy when entropy + entropy + entropy are added they become more secure, not less even if 1 or two are cracked. if 1 is cracked and runs 100x quicker than the others you're not secure. that being said, i think my personal best option for hwrng is the video card: code http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/W.Langdon/ftp/gp-code/random-numbers/cuda_park-miller.tar.gz or a hacked smoke detector. i need to learn to program so i can make firewire rng, wifi rng, ethernet rng, fan speed rng? =P so ive settled on fortuna cprng, its what several bsd distros and macos use by default for /dev/random https://github.com/ryco117/Fortunai can get this to build and send out random data, but its primitive. it only outputs files, doesnt check entropy pool @ /dev/random doesnt have a deamon, none of it... rngtest: bits received from input: 25600000 rngtest: FIPS 140-2 successes: 1279 rngtest: FIPS 140-2 failures: 0 however it does generate 25 million bits in less than a minute that are secure. dieharder -f out.txt -a is running all tests against the entropy i just generated with this. http://www.labtestproject.com/linuxcmd/chsh.html this is really becoming a log of stuff to add to the wiki http://sourceforge.net/projects/prngd/files/prngd/0.9.29/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/egd/files/egd/ rngd is being a piece of trash over tpm... new goodies? http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpm-emulator.berlios/ app-crypt/tpm-tools TrouSerS' support tools for the Trusted Platform Modules rngd works fine on my laptop, since the desktops also mostly the same hardware just newer stuff i figured it would stream out tons of rng goodness but doesnt. guess ill just have to get the tpm emulator going below floods dir with random images ffmpeg -f rawvideo -video_size 400x320 -pixel_format yuv420p -framerate 1 -i /dev/random -ac 1 -f s16le -i /dev/random -pix_fmt yuv420p output%03d.jpg

you may need to add console kit to your rc-update rc-update add consolekit default rc rc-service xdm restart

yes i resolved it... i also suggested we fork polkit console kit and network manager away from gentoo over this issue. (though im not sure this is coming from gentoo anymore) the network manager 0.9.9? ebuilds not placing the rules file in /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/ network manager 1 will insert the file, though i dont know if that networkmanager works or not. root@spaceball-1 /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d # cat 01-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system.rules // Let users in plugdev group modify NetworkManager polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system" && subject.isInGroup("plugdev") && subject.active) { return "yes"; } }); at the very bottom of this article is a rule to tell polkit to never ask those dialogs globally for wheel users =D https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit

i snagged a seriously deprecated ebuild from somewhere, trying to revbump it i ran into some issues... this source is for eclipse to build. what i have so far: # Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 inherit versionator java-pkg-2 java-ant-2 java-utils-2 DESCRIPTION="A mature Java-based RSS/RDF/Atom Newsreader with advanced features."

i think that its just a good idea to have it pinned to 1 ebuild for each package since the install depends upon them... if changes come along, we can have testers test the new ebuilds once we have a hand full of testers approve the ebuilds move them to production. systemd purged from both boxes, its just too psychotic, gentoo doesn't q-a some stuff so well, especially tom-wij's packages since he's maintaining like 1/3rd of gentoo's packages.

i hate to say it, we need to fork console kit, polkit, and network manager to keep them stable and operational... my desktops FRIED from an update, polkit went crazy on me... locked out of X and the works... fortunately i was playing with dbus/consolekit/polkit to get firewalld's ebuild stuff going and knew how to tell it to chill.... my dbus on the desktop is systemd so its possible im being a horrible person. but yeah udev/dbus/consolekit/polkit requests.... the forums login capitalized t in threesixes when i logged in from laptop with chrome. idk if its forums or what...

bottom of the page, below the save button is a little triangle pointing right, click it..... (just copy paste and translate english to french?)

firewalld is closely tied to network manager. i started a bug but the ebuild is buggy enough to warrant moving the discussion to here. https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-2327 these are the first steps to getting the package running. firewalld doesn't require dropping connections and entirely resetting the firewall to update rules, its default in fedora & centos. i think it's going to require some de-systemding. i haven't worked on it further yet... last night i spent about 2 hours on this issue. tonight ill probably spend another 2 tracking down its shortcomings. i dont need replies i just need to track what updates im making to have it become funtoo friendly. http://www.firewalld.org/download/ 0.2.12 doesn't like me... lets try 0.3.13, time to dig into ebuilding docs 0.3.13 works with ./configure && make && sudo make install! =D so i found a firewalld ebuild for 0.3.10, how do i setup local overlays so i can tweak this to latest? ==== new day ==== system-config-firewall is a dependency of firewalld... 1 this program doesn't like python 3 at all... 2 under python 2.7 it wants to write its iptables configurations @ /etc/sysconfig/iptables & /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables.... whoa system-config-firewall is a gui app it does a good job setting things for iptables (in the wrong directory =) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SystemConfig/firewall https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/firewalld-default#Dependencies root@spaceball-1 /home/mkultra/overlays/testing/system-config-firewall-1.2.29 # iptables -L -n Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 unfortunately ufw is 1000x as effective as this. it's seriously letting everything through, not stopping much.

drobbins how did you make the funtoo router a wifi ap? do you run dnscrypt behind dnsmasq? dnscrypt is slow, but behind dnsmasq its negligible, and greatly improves security. do you run squid also to maximize caching on the router? edit:i can't change the title to funtoo wifi router? <drobbins> so here is what I did <drobbins> set up a bridge with an IP address called brwan <drobbins> with a LAN ip address <drobbins> then I added wlan0 and eth0 to that bridge <drobbins> as slaves, with template=interface-noip <drobbins> then I configured hostapd for wlan0. <drobbins> started it all, and it worked <drobbins> then I run dnsmasq. It is available to wireless and wired clients. <drobbins> since it's bridged. <drobbins> my DSL modem is plugged into eth0, and it does natting, so I don't do natting on my linux AP. It just provides an AP. <drobbins> that is literally all that's needed. If wlan0 is visible in ifconfig, then hostapd is ready to do the rest.
