Server :: Remove Printsrv1 Since It Is Gentoo And On Old Hardware?
May 5, 2010
I am trying to bring up a third print server. I eventually want to remove printsrv1 since it is gentoo and on old hardware. . I've got the new ubuntu server all configured except for the print driver database.. IEE.. when I try to connnect to a printer from a Windows node it needs me to load the driver.. I've got about 35 printers so I dont' want to do this for each one and I want them to be mirrors of the other 2 with the drivers so there are no conflicts..My question is,,, is there a way to transfer the Samba printer database mappings from one box to another?

I'm trying to set up an NFS server on a Gentoo VM. I've installed nfs-utils-1.2.2 and added the following line to the /etc/exports file code...
It complains about not finding the /lib/modules/2.6.24-9-pve/modules.dep file, but the /lib/modules directory doesn't even exist on this machine.
Does anyone know how to get it to work?

I'm trying to install a network printer to my Gentoo workstation, but have never used printing in Linux before and am unsure of how to proceed. I'm stuck in the CUPS web interface based printer adding process, at what device and device URI to set. I have looked through the properties and settings of the printer on the server machine, but couldn't find anything relevant.The printer model is Brother HL-1430, and it's attached with USB to the Windows XP powered printer server and shared to the network. Other (Windows) machines in the network can successfully reach the printer.

SSH asked password for user git. Why ssh should allow me to login as user git? The git user doesn't have a password. The ssh key I created is for the user expert. How this should work?
Do I have to add some params to sshd_config?

I'm trying to turn an old Acer Aspire One with a tiny 8GB solid-state drive into a lean web server, so I'd like to remove as many packages as possible to free up space. It will be running a standard LAMP install and nothing else. Right now it has Ubuntu Netbook installed, so I need to know everything I can delete and still have it boot and run mysql, apache, etc.

I'm unable to mount any dvd on my HP 6735s laptop running Gentoo (with combined stable (+) and testing (~) ebuilds). Here's everything that I can come up with: $uname -a Linux aiur 2.6.32.6-aiur-r5 #6 SMP Thu Jan 28 17:02:59 CET 2010 x86_64 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Dual Core Mobile RM-70 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
NOTE: -aiur-r5 is my custom kernel name. I am having this problem with all the kernels since 2.6.31. I use the vanilla kernels from www.kernel.org and compile them with some custom settings using menuconfig.
$ ls -l /dev/{cd,dvd,scd,sr}*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 28 17:37 /dev/cdrom -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 28 17:37 /dev/cdrw -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 28 17:37 /dev/dvd -> sr0

I'm just trying to migrate to Ubuntu 10 Beta from Gentoo. One option in the installer intrigued me. It said something like (from memory) "Use password to log in and decrypt my home directory".
What happens behind the scenes when I choose this? (How) can I enable this later on? (I didn't activate it because I wanted to migrate my Gentoo user's home as painless as possible.)

I'm having trouble getting GRUB2 to pick it up in the boot menu. to clarify: Does every OS need a copy of grub? My impression was that you have one copy, and it takes care of all the OSes you have. I got to the point in my Gentoo install where it asked me to install grub, but I didn't want to mess up my boot record or anything (which there is the potential for as I'm in unfamiliar territory). I switched over to ubuntu and tried

I've partially installed Gentoo to a separate (RAID0) partition and would like to boot it from my Ubuntu 10.04 Grub installation. I have a /boot on RAID1 (mirror) and Ubuntu root on RAID1 (stripe set.) I have added what I could figure out to
Code:
hbarta@olive:~$ cat /etc/grub.d/40_custom
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
[code]....
And it starts to boot the Gentoo kernel. (That fails when it cannot find the root partition, but I think that is past the point where grub has done it's work.) what I have wrong in the Gentoo menuentry that causes it not to show up?

I was installing "wine" last night and since I knew it was going to take a while I closed the lid of the laptop and turned it upside down on the floor. (I always turn the laptop upside down when not using it otherwise might overheat)When I woke up this morning roughly 8 hours after I went to sleep the machine was turned off.Using the "last -x | grep shutdown | head -1" it stated that it went down at roughly 6 hours from when I went to sleep.The program I was installing got finished installing but I never set up an auto-shutdown program or anything of the sort.If this isn't a problem with linux then its a problem with my bios. If its a problem with my bios I will just have to live with it because my bios is locked. /var/log/messages says this:
Code:
alexslaptop logger: ACPI event unhandled: battery BAT1 00000080 00000001
alexslaptop shutdown[14933]: shutting down for system halt

I am building gentoo through a fully installed Ubuntu system. My swap partition is in use by the Ubuntu system so when I use the mkswap command I get that the partition is already in use. I expected this but I was wondering if postponing the mount of swap until after I have booted into the gentoo system would cause any problems. Am I going to have to edit a bunch of files if I mount my swap later?? Also, I didn't see any manuals mentioning building a gentoo system from a fully installed system, is that going to cause any problems? This is my first gentoo installation, so I'm not really experienced with gentoo. I didn't think that building from a full install would be any different than a live cd other than more resources are already in use. I'm not actually having problems with install. I just want to make sure I wont.

I have been installing gentoo on my desktop for the past few weeks. (Not a whole lot of time to get to it) and I must say that I wished I had made the move a whole lot earlier. Anyway, my next canididate for gentoo would be my ibook g3 which has a slow processor. I have heard that for these systems cross compiling is a lot better of an option than compiling on the system itself. I have read the cross-compiling guide and am left a bit confused. Could I use my thumbdrive to transfer compiled binaries from my desktop to my laptop and install the packages that way? Also, what would I do when updates come out for my laptop. Is there any way of monitoring the package statuses?

I want to connect my newly created Gentoo DAW to a Fedora 12 PC, for file sharing and Internet purposes. The Fedora PC has 2 NICs, where one of them is connected to the apartment's Router. The Gentoo PC has 1 NIC. I am using a crossover Ethernet cable for connecting them. [UPDATE] I changed to crossover cable, now my two machines are able to ping each other! Here's the IPs:
PC1(Gentoo): 192.168.1.2
PC2(Fedora): 192.168.1.3 --- PC2(Fedora) to Router IP: 192.168.0.10
Router's IP: 192.168.0.1
All I need now is for PC1 to enter the internet... How do I proceed from this point?

I have a iMac G5 only with Gentoo installed on it and every time I turn it on, it plays the startup chime.
I already have my headset plugged in but this doesn't mute the sound.
Is there a way to turn it off using the Open Firmware or, if this isn't possible, could a script do this ?

I've taken the plunge and embarked on my very first install/congifuration of Ubuntu. I've successfully installed 10.04 from the LiveCD onto a brand-new 500 GB hard drive. It boots fine. At least, it did until I reconnected another hard drive that contains a Gentoo system. (I had unplugged the Gentoo drive during the installation so as not risk mucking it up).In the presence of the Gentoo drive, the Ubuntu system starts to boot, but then fails with an a error that it's unable to mount /var.Investigation (df -k) indicates that it's mounted one of the parititions on the Gentoo drive. If I unplug the Gentoo hard drive, the Ubuntu system agains boots properly.
I have no idea why the 10.04 system even sees the other drive, much less mounts one of its partitions.My intent, once migrating to Ubuntu, was to copy needed user files and data from the old Gentoo system, then repartition the drive and use it for additional Ubuntu storage. Seems I can't get there from here.Is there some feature in Ubuntu that causes it to go looking for any other drives accessible on a system and then go about mounting random partitions?

I can't make Gentoo recognize my 2 rams of 512MB, It's seems to recognize just 891900 KB code...
I tried to recompile the kernel with 4gb ram support but I couldn't find the "High memory support" in "Processor type and features", I think because I have a amd64 OS.
Kernel version: linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r3
RAM: hynix 512MB HYMP564U64CP8-Y5 (Specification are here in PDF)

i have an Acer Aspire 9420 with gentoo installed and a 2.6.38-r3 kernel.Since a few months i have decided to boot from an USB external HDD WD scorpio Blue 750go (with USB adapter) instead of the internal HDD.Yesterday evening during my gnome session activity i had a black screen with a cursor and nothing can respond anymore. I tried an hard reboot but my bios does not detect my USB Disk either.So i boot from a liveDVD to check what is the problem?

I just got my Airlink AWLH5025 to connect using the instructions provided by Gentoo Wiki's article on Wireless Networking. I'd like to use NetworkManager, but I'm running into problems - launching it kills my connection, and even though it finds my network it won't connect to it.

I'm trying to install Gentoo on a virtual machine (VirtualBox installed on my debian squeeze).
My connexion at home is veeery slow, so I wanted to do it at work (don't judge me!), the thing is I' behinf a proxy.
I tried the command
Code:
export http_proxy="proxy:port"
but couldn't ping anything. On the other hand, when i use
Code:
links www.google.com -http-proxy host:port
that works...
So i was able to download the stage3 file and start preparing the system, but I have some troubles when it comes to use the provided tools (the tool to add a mirror can't retrieve the list for example, and I guess I could not emerge anything either)
