 Posted: Wed Jul 17, 2002 7:39 am Post subject: Some (simple) problems... |
 |
|
Hello out there,
I've installed Gentoo from stage 1 and it is working!!! 
But there are some small and simple problems:
1.) auto off isn't working -> try searching this forum -> done -> solved!
2.) iptables isn't working -> how is the option named within the kernel-configuration?
3.) I want Num-Lock to be on after booting - how can I change this behavior?
4.) When pressing Strg+Alt+Del the system is rebooting, but I want to halt the system. Where can I change this?
Thx,
Mike

| There's probably a Linux way to do this but numlock on/off is a setting in my CMOS (BIOS) |

No, this is a Compaq-Box and there is no option 
BTW, my SuSE had the same "problem" but under XP it was working fine... (other Box!)

Check this article out for the NUMLOCK question -- I think this should work (but I can't test it yet, very good question though--One I have wanted to learn how to change as well but didn't take the time to until now).
At first glance it looks like this could provide some good information on your CTRL+ALT+DEL question (change the binding from reboot to halt)
As for the iptables and what you need to enable in the kernel for them to work I searched the Gentoo forums and found this thread, but there are TONS of them to look through. I'd recommend looking at some of them, there are plenty of people using it that can help you there.

Regarding the ctrl-alt-del problem, see my post here. Or I could just tell you now. Look in your /etc/inittab for these lines:
| Code: |
# What to do at the "Three Finger Salute".
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -r now
|
Change the -r to a -h and you're golden. |

I knew I had stumbled across the file that mapped what CTRL+ALT+DEL does sometime back but couldn't recall what it was, I'm fairly certain it was recently within a Gentoo system (can't be sure though!) Thanks for the info, can you verify how to fix the NUMLOCK? That is more important to me personally and I haven't had a chance to check it out yet.
Thanks!

strgaltdel is now working fine,
I also solved the problem with iptables - the option is called netfilter within the configuration! (But they are not working - but this is another topic  )
Theres only the NUMLOCK-Issue left... we'll see...

Here is some info I found here about how to enable NUMLOCK, not sure if this works in Gentoo. Will have to try it out for myself later.
1. edit /etc/rc.d/rc
2. Put the following lines into /etc/rc.d/rc
| Code: | INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
for tty in $INITTY; do
setleds -D +num < $tty
done |
3. Save & restart

/etc/rc.d/rc does not exist on my current Gentoo system. Likely the wrong approach for Gentoo.
Drat!
