[gentoo-user] KDE plasma binary
Hello, I’m trying just for testing purpose for now, to install Gentoo full binary. I’m following the Gentoo Binary guide and I think it’s working, but now I’ve realized looks I’m in trouble to install KDE binary. My profile is desktop plasma openrc. There is some step maybe I had missed? The emerge error is like, packages are masked to your use flags. Thanks.

About the VirtualHost for the 8280, I'm guessing it was not necessary,
because the 8280 is the VM and the VM has its own apache2.
I have a nat rule to redirect 192.168.0.15:8280 to my VM server

[gentoo-user] Reverse Proxy with Apache2
Hello,
I'm trying to setup a reverse proxy on my apache2 server to serve an
another apache2 server running on a vm, basically my root apache2 is at
192.168.0.15 and my second apache2 is at 192.168.0.15:8280.
My idea is to have 192.168.0.15/zm as 192.168.0.15:8280.
The question is, how to do it?
I've looked up some guides, but it is difficult to setup.
My config:
ServerAdmin root@192.168.0.15
ServerName 192.168.0.15

[gentoo-user] BIND Configuration for DNS
Hello, I'm trying to configure BIND for a local DNS server, but I'm not sure that it's ok. Basically, I'm wanting to create an internal address like intranet.local, this way, I can change the internal IP address, without the obligation to reconfigure the client machines to lookup the new IP, only changing the DNS lookup table. First, I had followed the Gentoo Wiki and after I tried BIND official documentation. I've realized the network PC's did not find the DNS address, only the localhost can find it, when I force the DNS, the client PC cannot access the internet anymore. If someone knows a guide to help, I'll be glad to know. Thanks. Best Regards, M.S.

Hello folks! What could be the best approach to a small home server with a 20’s core Xeon and 32GB of ram? I'm thinking of serving a NAS, a virtual machine to record 2 cameras with ZoneMider and a DB server/php. Some configurations I'm guessing are described below. 1) Install FreeNAS, formatting my 3 disk in ZFS raid and setup all stuff upon FreeNas using VirtualBox (1-Linux to ZoneMinder and 1-Linux to a small host php/db server); 2) Install a FreeBSD ZFS using Xen and setup two guests, a Linux Guest to ZoneMinder + DB/php and a FreeNas guest; 3) Install a Linux ZFS host, ZoneMinder and DB/php upon it and a virtual machine for FreeNas; 4) Install a Linux ZFS, setup a NAS on Linux, and run a VirtualBox machine to ZoneMinder and another small server.

[gentoo-user] Update Gentoo recently is becoming difficult
Hello, I’ve been realizing to update Gentoo is becoming worse every time. My 2018 install, that I’ve recently update because python, was still those days running like a square wheel. I was trying to update my KDE profile 17, but was a pain, I’ve suffered a lot, many blocks, flag problems, circular dependency and in the end perl messed me and the system entirely broke. Now I’m installing a new fresh system, and even in the beginning to emerge the world update, like manual says, circular dependency problem with Bluetooth and Systemd. I’m long openRC user, I’ve started again using Systemd stage3, and now suffering with python 3.6/3.8 dependency mess. I don’t know if I’m out of luck or Gentoo is becoming a pain to maintain and update. I know, there are some periods is better to avoid update and appear this time is now! Lol Thanks. -- M.S.

I don't want to re-emerge all KDE stuff again and spends 2 days. Because I don't know, if upgrading qt-core won't leave my whole system to break, and emerge will start asking to update kde-base, because qt-core require new kde-base. Are there a way to roll back emerge-sync? Because emerge-sync clean my old ebuilds and I can't mask the new ones, because I don't have the old ones. This appear to be the best solution. For while I've learnt some things about Gentoo, ever save old ebuilds, never run emerge-sync only to upgrade firefox-bin and last, never emerge packages without --oneshot, wether this packages isn't very very important. And new, KDE appears to become a nightmare to have on pc. It's beautiful but is "terrificful".

[gentoo-user] Kde 5 Latin characters
Hi, I've installed kde 5 on my laptop, who have us keyboard. My Gentoo was installed with pt-BR and en-US L10N and locale. Despite that fact that I'm running a English system, I need to write in Portuguese. The problem is, when I type ~+a, my system writes ~a and not my desired chapter ã, the same for '+c that is showed 'c and not ç. I've realised when I set my keyboard config at kde, abnt2-br, keys combinations works well to show Latin characters, but when I set us generic keyboard, that is my keyboard layout, those key combinations to obtain Latin characters goes wrong. Anybody can suffered that? Thanks.
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Kernel did not finding root partition
Thank you all, for the help until now. I didn't solve my problem yet, but I realised some troubles and mistakes that I've being made. First I'll divide those problematic situations I've suffered: 1.I was using Genkernel to configure and build the kernel, but Genkernel’s menuconfig doesn’t work like make menuconfig. Genkernel replace my .config everytime I run genkernel –menuconfig all, with this, I my .config has lost XFS build-in, because default Genkernel .config has setted XFS as a module. 2. I’m using rEFInd, installed from Windows 10, I’ll need dual boot. Now I understand that rEFInd can substitute GRUB, but I’ve read a lots of wikis, and it became a little bit confusing. Based on wikis I’ve configured my kernel with EFI stub thinking that is necessary to boot with GRUB only because UEFI. 3. GRUB has booted my kernel, but this EFI Stub’s over-configured kernel, maybe has complicated the situation with GRUB. (I've only supposed that). Expose that, or I configure kernel to use GRUB or rEFInd. I’m leaned to use on rEFInd, but I suffered to create initramfs with gernkernel once, in fact I do not like genkernel at all.

[gentoo-user] Kernel did not finding root partition
I'm trying to install Gentoo in my notebook, but kernel, during the boot, do not find the root partition. I'm using UEFI boot, I've tried Genkernel, I've checked XFS's support in kernel's menuconfig and re-cheked GRUB config files, but is a pain, do not work. I've installed Funtoo with Debian Kernel first, but Funtoo KDE's ebuild was pointing to a invalid URL and I've switched to Gentoo and now I'm suffering this problem to boot. Have anyone some information, about this Kernel's boot didn't finding root partition? Is better configure kernel without Genkernel? I need to pass some commands to Kernel via GRUB? PS.: Appear to be very simple configure UEFI, because I'm using Refind and it was working with Funtoo, and I realized this problem is with gentoo kernel's config, but I do not know where I need to config. Any suggestions? Thanks!
[gentoo-user] SSD over the SAS controller
Hi, I've a question about using SATA's SSD over the SAS controller on the workstation motherboards. I didn't find any benchmark comparing the CPU/Memory load, for example. I suppose, that installing a SSD over the SAS controller, my CPU/Memory load will be lower and I will get better performance, because dedicated CPU/Memory over the SAS controller will do the job using its resources. Is it right?

[gentoo-user] Problems with CUPS and Brother DCP-L8400CDN printer
Hello. I've tried to install a Brother DCP-L8400CDN network laser printer on my Gentoo. I've followed Gentoo Wiki instructions and have used official Brother's driver. The CUPS works fine with my other printer one old HP 2600N, but when I send any doc to Brother, the printer prints a blank page with the follow message on top: lpadmin -p DCPL8400CDN -E -v usb:/dev/usb/lp0 -P /usr/share//cups/model/Brother... Very strange because my printer is a network printer and not USB printer. I've tried a lot to install this printer. Anyone can hep me? Thanks. Raphael Mejias Dias

As for the second part, yes, using a database wouldn't get rid of the I/O problem, but could diminish it, since database data isn't spread across several directories and files.

Damaged world-file? nano FTW! The Portage files are easy to maintain. But I honestly never _had_ to read them. I just did out of curiosity. And I never needed to repair them either. When I got hosed data, I just replaced everything with the latest backup copy and never looked back. Using a database follows the same principle. If you make backups, you don't need to think about how the system tools store their data. If your system gets in an unstable state, you just recover it. And backing up a database is, IMHO, simpler than backing the Portage data. Regards, Raphael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Python vs C++ [was: Gentoo Rules]
Hi everyone, I don't think the programming language is the problem here. The problem is that some of Portage architectural decisions have a negative impact on performance. Probably because the developers were focused on minimizing dependencies (i.e. file system based persistence) and bandwidth consumption (i.e. using rsync for updating packages). So, even if Portage was recoded in C++, performance improvements would be marginal and the cost in man-hours would be too high. It would take months before reaching the maturity level Portage has now and all this time could be better spent trying to find solutions to its architectural bottlenecks. I believe that a good solution would be evolving Portage to use different forms of storage, like databases or even LDAP. In a home desktop, you could use SQLite, which is light weight. In a Office enviroment, you could use a larger database, like MySQL or PostgreSQL. In this second case, it would even make sharing the package list faster, since the only current method is sharing it over NFS. I understand that doing so could bloat Portage dependencies, but it is, IMHO, a good way to improve its speed. Regards, Raphael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] LDAP + Samba as PDC
Hi everyone, I've been trying to set up an authentication server for a mixed LAN (Windows and Linux clientes ) and I'm having problems with Samba. The way it is today, the Windows clients can access the Samba server and each user can access it's home, by double-clicking on the server icon on the screen that shows all the machines on the network. But I'm unable to register the client workstations on the server. It says something like "user name not found" when I try to do it. But the odd thing is, when I look in the LDAP server, there is a registry of the client there. I'd like to know if anyone has managed to do this type of thing and, if possible, could send me the Samba config file (smb.conf) so I can see what I'm doing wrong. Here is my smb.conf file. If anyone detects what I'm doing wrong, I'd be grateful. :) [global] server string = %L workgroup = WORKGROUP announce as = NT Server hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24 security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 interfaces = lo eth1 bind interfaces only = yes local master = yes os level = 100 domain master = yes preferred master = yes null passwords = no #hide unreadable = yes enable privileges = yes domain logons = yes logon script = login.bat logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile wins support = yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts host bcast dns proxy = no time server = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://127.0.0.1:636/ ldap admin dn = cn=Laboratorio,dc=lara,dc=cic,dc=unb,dc=br ldap port = 636 ldap suffix = dc=lara,dc=cic,dc=unb,dc=br ldap server = ldaps://127.0.0.1:636/ ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap user suffix = ou=Users ldap group suffix = ou=Groups ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap delete dn = Yes ldap password sync = yes add group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupadd -p "%g" add machine script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" add user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m "%u" add user to group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m "%u" "%g" delete group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupdel "%g" delete user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-userdel "%u" delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -x "%u" "%g" passwd program = /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd passwd chat = "*New password:*" %n\r "*New password (again):*" %n\r \ "*Password changed*" set primary group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-usermod -g "%g" "%u" idmap backend = ldap:ldaps://127.0.0.1:636/ idmap uid = 1-2 idmap gid = 1-2 unix charset = ISO8859-1 profile acls = yes [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon guest ok = no read only = yes browseable = no [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles browseable = no writeable = yes default case = lower preserve case = no short preserve case = no case sensitive = no hide files = /desktop.ini/ntuser.ini/NTUSER.*/ write list = @smbusers @root create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 csc policy = disable [homes] path = /home/%U browseable = no valid users = %S read only = no guest ok = no inherit permissions = yes -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

GCC does make architecture exclusive code, specially with optimed for size code.

Re: [gentoo-user] USE flags: mmx sse sse2
Actually, mmx doesn't really mean anything: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMX mplayer and the X server gain performance by using these extensions (mmx, sse, sse2). One of the reasons why X is much faster in Gentoo than in Debian.

Re: [gentoo-user] USE flags: mmx sse sse2
Certain program have support for either of these extentions. The program will most likely use the best one for the job. They can be mutually exclusive, however, if you use the CFLAG -mfpmath=sse,387. As far as I know it, it will try to use SSE instructions for math where possible, in detriment of using the 387 math co-processor. But this only get any advantage when using AMD64 processors. I never tested it, I just copied what the Gentoo Wiki says about it. ;P 2006/1/12, Willie Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Thu, Jan 12, 2006 at 03:09:40PM -0700, Penguin Lover Tom Smith squawked: > > Are these flags mutually exclusive? > > > > I know, for example, that if I have a Pentium II that the MMX flag > > should apply while the sse and sse2 flags would not. > > > > But what if I have a Pentium III or IV?

[gentoo-user] OpenMosix DFSA and MFS
Hi there everyone, I've been reading OpenMosix documentation and everywhere I go, it says that DFSA and MFS should be enabled. But the openmosix-sources (2.4.30) says that these have been disabled. So, how do I share files in my cluster? Besides using NFS... Thanks in advance, Raphael -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Optical mouse lights off on kernel 2.6.14 but works on kernel 2.4.30
I'll try that, if it doesn't work, I'm going to give up and use the 2.4 kernel. It's an openmosix kernel, so I can have a cluster up and running at my house.

Re: [gentoo-user] Optical mouse lights off on kernel 2.6.14 but works on kernel 2.4.30
"And the answer is... 42." Turns out I was asking the wrong question. The whole problem about it is that the 2.6 kernels detect my mouse as a ImExPS/2 mouse and not as a ImPS/2. What I need is to find a way to tell the psmouse module (PS/2 Mouse Kernel Module) to exclude ImExPS/2 as a protocol for my mouse. I even tried to hack (unsuccessfully) the psmouse-base.c file in the kernel, so far, no luck in that. I'll google some more now. If you guys have any idea what to do, let me know.

Re: [gentoo-user] Optical mouse lights off on kernel 2.6.14 but works on kernel 2.4.30
It is not a USB mouse, so that shouldn't be the problem. Also, you can run modules-update so you can use modules without rebooting. 2005/12/7, Daevid Vincent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Dude.

Re: [gentoo-user] Optical mouse lights off on kernel 2.6.14 but works on kernel 2.4.30
The mouse is not rechargeable, it works fine on Windows and 2.4 kernel (I'm using it right now) and the problem is with the 2.6 kernel protocol. If I could tell the psmouse (PS/2 Mouse Kernel Module) to use ImPS/2 protocol for every ImExPS/2 (My Mouse's Protocol), I think it would be done. I've tried to do this, but I couldn't find how to do it. 2005/12/6, Holly Bostick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales schreef: > > I had legacy /dev/psaux on.

Re: [gentoo-user] Optical mouse lights off on kernel 2.6.14 but works on kernel 2.4.30
I had legacy /dev/psaux on. Besides, it doesn't explain why the lights go off even outside X. Perhaps I could try to disable this option and let /dev/input/mice be the sole device node for the mouse... 2005/12/6, Steven Susbauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > The mouse device should be pointing to /dev/input/mice - that's just the > first thing I saw in a quick overview. > > > On 12/6/05, Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > How do you switch xorg.conf files between kernels?

Re: [gentoo-user] Optical mouse lights off on kernel 2.6.14 but works on kernel 2.4.30
The problem isn't in X, it is in the kernel, and when I googled for a solution, I saw a few messages that pointed to the same problem. I think it is related to udev. 2005/12/5, Tamas Sarga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales wrote: > > Hi there, > > > >I got a new VCOM optical mouse, model C235-PS2-V.

[gentoo-user] Optical mouse lights off on kernel 2.6.14 but works on kernel 2.4.30
Hi there, I got a new VCOM optical mouse, model C235-PS2-V. And I'm having problems with it. On Windows XP or with the Linux kernel 2.4.30 (OpenMosix) it works fine. But on linux kernel 2.6.14-r2 (Gentoo Sources), it lights off and stays off unless I halt the system. I believe this is related to udev for two reasons, one because the 2.4 kernel uses devfs unstead of udev, and also because the light goes off when udev is starting. On the dmesg log, there are two entries related to the mouse: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1 The mouse buttons work, but when I press any of them, the cursor goes to the top-right corner of the screen and stays there. Does anybody has any idea of what might be wrong, or how to create a udev rule so the mouse device works as in devfs? Thanks for the attention, Raphael -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] OT worth upgrading hardware ?
Perhaps you can get a Semprom with a smaller clock but a higher FSB. I have an AMD Semprom 2400+ with 400 Mhz FSB, 1 GB of Ram and I'm very happy with it. It plays all the games I want and I can work in it very smoothly. I recently upgrade to 1 GB of Ram, used to be 512 Mb and the difference is amazing compared to 256, specially compile speeds. So, unless you might want to upgrade you Celeron to a P4, assuming the motherboard will take both, I'd go with Semprom, I believe it's more cost-effective. 2005/10/2, Folken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Sun, Oct 02, 2005 at 08:12:56AM +0100, Dave S wrote: > > > The GHz sound impressive but I know neither chip is a very powerful, I > > believe they 'water down' the internals !.

Re: [gentoo-user] download first and compile later?
It is also very useful on a office enviroment. Normally, on offices, at least on my personal experiences, the entire staff is consuming bandwidth during commercial hours. So you can use a cron job to --fetchonly the packages you want from hours 21:00 to 06:00. Then on the next day, all you have to do is compile. 2005/9/30, Mark Shields <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Quick note: --fetchonly is also useful if for some reason the md5 checksum > fails on the source files. > > > On 9/30/05, Uwe Thiem < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 30 September 2005 06:57, vikram ranade wrote: > > > Quick question > > > I looked in the emerge man pages but i cant seem to figure out how to > > > download all the packages using emerge and then compile them > > > is there some parameter that i can use? > > > > > > > > > emerge > > > ? > > > or do i have to mess with the make.conf file? > > > > You are looking for "--fetchonly". > > > > Uwe > > > > -- > > 95% of all programmers rate themselves among the top 5% of all software > > developers. - Linus Torvalds > > > > http://www.uwix.iway.na (last updated: 20.06.2004) > > -- > > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > > > > > > > -- > - Mark Shields -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Portage, network less install and Apache, MySQL, PHP
Answer to 1: Yes, if you download a portage-.tar.bz2 file and uncompress it on /usr/portage, it has the same effect as emerge --sync. Actually, to be more precise, the same effect as emerge-webrsync. Unforunately, this consumes more bandwidth, since it downloads ebuilds you don't need to update as well. But, in a proxy enviroment that doesn't allow rsync, it is the only choice you have. Answer to 2: Portage doesn't really care how you download the source packages, as long as they have the same md5sum. So, if you download them separetely and move them to /usr/portage/distfiles, you should be fine. Answer to 3: See 1 and 2. :) 2005/9/30, Daniel da Veiga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Greetings, > > I just managed to install (network less Universal CD install) Gentoo > on my Pentium 100 with 48MB of RAM (yeah, it was hard, but I got the > fastest system this poor hardware ever had), its working fine with > minimal on everything, but as I have limited network access (proxy), I > can't update, neither the usual emerge --sync nor emerge-webrsync > works, the RSYNC is blocked for sure, and I suppose webrsync is trying > to download something (all downloads are filtered, except for some > extensions, but tar.bz2 and tar.gz are filtered). > > I scheduled the download of the last portage tree (snapshot) and MySQL > and Apache latest versions and its dependencies, but I'm pretty sure I > won't be able to install them, because when calculating dependencies, > emerge fails (too old for the latest versions, and they're masked). > > So, I ask: > > 1) If I get the latest snapshot, will it be like an "emerge --sync"? > 2) If I download all packages and dependencies, will I be able to > install the masked version after pretending the "sync" with the > snapshot? > 3) Has anyone tried this? > > If I manage to install it, I'll get like 4 new servers using > replication with hardware that would be trash nowadays (that's good > for business). > > Thanks for all answers, > > -- > Daniel da Veiga > Computer Operator - RS - Brazil > -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- > Version: 3.1 > GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?

[gentoo-user] Doubts about how to create a free software project
Hi everyone, I work with biotech and for about an 1 year I've been working on a web interface for genome/proteome data analysis. And I'd like to make it free software. But I still have doubts about legal problems I might face and about intellectual property. Basically, I don't want to restrict people on using and contributing with source or whatever, but don't want anyone taking credit for my work or pateting it and sending me a cease-and-desist letter. If anyone has any insight, references or links on this subject, please let me know. Thanks for the attention, Raphael -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Getting problems with nVidia and OpenMosix kernel
Hi there, I got a Gentoo box with two kernels, one is linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r9 kernel sources and the other linux-2.4.30-openmosix-r3. On the 2.6 kernel, the nvidia driver works fine. But on the OpenMosix version, whenever I try to start X, it crashes, and in the log, there are no error messages. All I get is: (II) Initializing extension GLX *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not *** be the reason for the server aborting. Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE returns nothing. I believe it is a flaw in the agpgart module, because if I try to load the module, I get: /lib/modules/2.4.30-om-migshm/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o: init_module: Invalid argument Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

Re: Re: [gentoo-user] gcc seg faults very often
Yes, I found a kernel patch that does that. It allocates all the bad memory sectors in kernel space permanetely, so they can't be used. But, I found it too late. The memory is so bad now that it doesn't even tries to boot. It just stops after detecting all IDE devices.

I faced lockups problems during high mem/cpu/io conditions on another computer. Turned out to be the power source that was inadequate (is that how it is spelled?). Most motherboard simply reboot the system when close to overheating conditions. And they normally beep a lot before that happens. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] gcc seg faults very often
Hi Richard, First of all, thanks for replying. I'll test the swap partition with the command you sent. But how do I test the memory? Is there any way to do it? I think I configured CMOS to do a memory check during start up. Also, I'm using -march=i686 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer, since I don't know if a higher value is compatible with my AMD Sempron. 2005/8/22, Richard Fish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales wrote: > > >Hi there, > > > > I'm using gcc-3.3.5.20050130-r1 and I keep getting segmentation > >fault every now and then.

[gentoo-user] gcc seg faults very often
Hi there, I'm using gcc-3.3.5.20050130-r1 and I keep getting segmentation fault every now and then. Since it doesn't work, I can't compile an earlier, more stable version. I hope it isn't a hardware failure, because the warranty on my new computer just ended. It is probably not an memory error, because I'm not using -pipe. I checked the filesystem and no corruption was found. Anybody had this type of error too? If so, how did you handle it? Are there any tools to check the hard drive's surface for flaws? Thanks for the attention, Raphael -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] alsa config
Hi there John, First, remember to backup config files. The suggestion I'd give you is to: 1 - put snd-intel8x0 in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 2 - set your /etc/modules.d/alsa like this: alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 3 - rc-update add alsasound boot 4 - /etc/init.d/alsasound restart Some programs that use OSS emulation need direct access to PCM. To do this, I have done the following: 1 - Create file /etc/conf.d/oss-emul 2 - Create a line for each program you want to grant permission for direct access, like this: 0 0 direct 3 - Add the following line to /etc/init.d/alsasound on the start() funcion: cat /etc/conf.d/oss-emul >> /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss Everytime Alsa starts, it will give permission to the programs. Hope this helps, Raphael. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] VMWare?
I agree with John. It is better to have a robust system (Gentoo) and run the bad one (Windows) on user space (via VMWare) so it can't do much damage. As for comments on VMWare, it isn't free software and you need a licence key. Some purists don't like the fact that it isn't free. I never tested it, but I hear it is a great emulator. Plex86, the free software counter-part, is still under development. So it is really young and probably has less funcionalities. I don't know any other options. If he really wants a Unix-like enviroment running on Windows, I think it will be easier to install CygWin.. 2005/8/21, John Jolet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > that's backwards! install vmware under gentoo, then win xp under vmware. > > On Saturday 20 August 2005 22:01, Ian K wrote: > > Hey all, > > I have a friend who is getting a desktop, (high end) > > and was wondering if he should VMware under WinXp and > > install Gentoo on VMWare.

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't get ALSA OSS Emulation to work
I feel really stupid. It wasn't the permission, but to get both quake and enemy territory to play , they have to be given direct access to the sound hardware. To do that, you must go to /proc/asound/cardX/pcm0p/ and add the following line to the oss file in this directory. Something like this: echo "q3demo.x86 0 0 direct" >> /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss I was putting just q3demo, which is actually just a script to call the game, not the program that would use the sound. And that's why it didn't work. Thanks for the help. I'll try to have more attention to this type of details in the future. Thanks again Nick and Mark ;) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Can't get ALSA OSS Emulation to work
Hi everyone, After some days googling for it, I give up now and come here for help. I have Alsa installed in kernel, and it works fine for programs that are compatible with. But programs that need OSS don't get any sound. I have the following lines in the alsa config files: /etc/modules.d/alsa: alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx When I run the alsasound init script it says: * Loading ALSA modules ... * Loading: snd-card-0 ...

[ ok ] # cat /proc/modules | grep oss snd_pcm_oss 52576 0 - Live 0xe258b000 snd_mixer_oss 19648 1 snd_pcm_oss, Live 0xe000 snd_seq_oss 37568 0 - Live 0xe2512000 snd_seq_midi_event 7168 1 snd_seq_oss, Live 0xe0da9000 snd_seq 55056 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event, Live 0xe086d000 snd_pcm 93448 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec, Live 0xe0db snd_seq_device 8972 4 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi, Live 0xe084a000 snd 57412 13 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device, Live 0xe0d79000 So it seems that the modules are loaded correctly. But every program that tries to pipe to /dev/dsp gets broken pipe (i.e. Quake and Enemy Territory). If anybody can tell me what could be wrong, please let me know.

Re: [gentoo-user] Testing how secure a server is...
First of all, thanks everyone for your replies. I really appreciate the help. I'll be testing snort, since it was the most mentioned one. I'm also going to test bastille. Had a problem emerging psad, one of its dependencies. I'll send the error message later. I made all the tests with nmap to check if the firewall was working OK, the results took more from 90 to 150 minutes. And it actually said that my Gentoo Server was a Longhorn beta machine and that the SSH service was an HTTP proxy. I assume that is a good thing. Not only the attacker would have to be very patient, but also the results would be confusing. Besides, since it is not replying to ping, some people would actually think that the host is down and ignore it. I used Authforce to test if it would be easy to brute force HTTP authentication. It replied that it didn't find any passwords. Again, a good thing. About the Honey Pot. I'll read about it later. My top priority is to have a good IDS running. ;) I need to get all the arguments I can, or else my department's chief I'll force me to migrate my Web Application to Java + Corba, and I don't want to do that. He claims that if someone invades my machine, it will have direct access to all data. That I have to distribute the database, put it in another machine and have the web application access that database over the network. I feel this is a bit overkill. Not only it would force the data travel through the network, slowing it down, but would also increase the complexity of the security layout, forcing to make the two machines very secure, unstead of just one of them. Besides, I might be wrong, but I feel that a Local Socket is faster and safer than Corba trasmitting data over the internal network.

Re: [gentoo-user] Testing how secure a server is...
Which IDS system do you recommend? I also need to worry about HTTP auth brute force. Know any way to stop it from happening? I've read about HoneyPots, which I can only assume is a decoy for an attacker. Anyone knows how to set one up? I have a feeling that there isn't much I can do if a pro actually tries to break the system.

Re: [gentoo-user] Testing how secure a server is...
Hey Colin, I was looking at the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and found these: LoginGraceTime 600 MaxAuthTries 6 Is the first one what you meant? The second seems like an attempt to avoid brute force login. Also, does Grub need any kind of password protection? I don't know if it was Grub or Lilo that allowed root access unless password protected. Am I mistaken? As you can see, I still have a lot to learn. ;) 2005/8/3, Colin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On Aug 2, 2005, at 7:50 PM, Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales wrote: > > > Hi there, > > > >I was wondering what tools should I use to detect security flaws to > > my server and a few tips on how to use them.

Re: [gentoo-user] Testing how secure a server is...
Thanks Peter. I'm just finishing visiting the home page of almost every package on the net-analyzer category. If I didn't have such a short dead line, I'd test them all. ;) 2005/8/3, Peter De Zutter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > 2 tools nmap and nessus for network/port scanning and others. > For hardering you could use bastille. > Of course all found in portage. > Peter > > > On 8/3/05, Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > Hi there, > > > >I was wondering what tools should I use to detect security flaws to > > my server and a few tips on how to use them.

[gentoo-user] Testing how secure a server is...
Hi there, I was wondering what tools should I use to detect security flaws to my server and a few tips on how to use them. What are the most common forms of attack and how do I avoid being attacked by one of them? The services avaliable are only Apache - SSL and SSH. I've installed an firewall, iptables and firestarter to control it, and blocked all ports except 443 and 8080, where the SSH is listening. Apache has PHP installed as a module. Thanks for the attention, Raphael. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
