Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia - mozilla

I use KMail so I decided to switch to Mozilla mail becuase I didn't want to be tied to KDE in my plans to switch to fluxbox. Then, the next time I booted, X didn't start - NVDriver did not load. I had noticed that when I last emerged that the name of the module switched to nvidia, so I insmod nvidia, then started kdm, then everything worked ok. However, when I insmod nvidia - it starts with errors and says it will cause problems to the kernel. And now to the problem. Mozilla doesn't save it's profile. I've had to set up my mail twice. I'm sorry this email is so vague, but I really don't know where the problem is so let me list some: 1. I added nvidia to modules.autoload, however it fails to load upon startup did you launch modules-updates after emerging nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx ? 2. When I insmod nvidia, it starts with errors. don't bother, it's (almost ;p) normal 3. Mozilla's profile is deleting on me (I'm assuming since my customization is gone and my mail and mail accounts are gone) maybe you don't have the rights to register those infos (i can't see why, but who knows ;p), then mozilla remember them as long as he runs, but can't save them after.. just a possibility. 4.

I'm afraid you can't connect a modem to a hub (in this circumstance) :) If your ADSL modem only has an ethernet port, your linux box will need two network cards. One to connect the PC to the hub, and one to connect the PC to the modem. If the modem has a USB port, and it's one of the (relatively few) ADSL modems with a Linux driver, you could connect it via USB and thus avoid the need for a second network card. To actually get the second PC on the internet, your Linux PC will need to have the following enabled in the kernel: Networking options --- IP: Netfilter Configuration --- Connection tracking [M] IP tables support [M] Full NAT [M] MASQUERADE target support [M] Your Linux machine needs the above options to perform NAT.. specifically IP masquerading. This allows both your PCs to have LAN IP addresses, (192.168.0.x), but both use the internet, (by having their IP address 'translated' into your ADSL IP address, and back). You may well also want some firewalling options, so enable at least: Networking options --- IP: Netfilter Configuration --- Packet filtering [M] All these can be staticly compiled instead of modules. You then need some way of enabling NAT, (and possibly firewall). There are some graphical firewall setup programs, but I think it's easier and faster to get it up and running with a simple pre-written script. I find this one satisfactory for home use: http://firewall.lutel.pl/ Simply fill in your various interface names, and specify what ports you want available to the internet and the LAN, then run it with ./firewall start. Note: you will need to have recompiled your kernel and the modules, and rebooted, before this can do it's job. The last step is to set up your two PCs /internal/ interfaces. For such a small network, I would simply give your Linux PC the IP: 192.168.0.254 and your Win98 machine: 192.168.0.1 x.x.x.254 is commonly used for a gateway machine on LAN, and this is exactly what your Linux PC will be. You will also need to set your Win98 box's Default Gateway to 192.168.0.254, and it's DNS servers to whatever your ISP gave you. MAL -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Problem with scp
I have only recently migrated to Gentoo from RedHat and so far it's been fairly smooth and uneventfull. The only problem I am having is with scp. I have openssh installed, and can ssh into the box, but cannot copy files to the box with scp. When I try, I get asked for my password (as expected), then the session just sits there, doing nothing. I have tried turning on debug mode on the sshd, and using -v on the scp client, but neither have shed much light on the subject. # sshd -version sshd: illegal option -- v sshd version OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 I have checked the Gentoo web forums, but cannot see any reports of similar problems.

Nope... it gets assigned to ppp0. eth0 doesn't seem to have an IP address. eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:B4:B6:17:35 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:68147 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:53293 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:17 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:76868013 (73.3 Mb) TX bytes:6387245 (6.0 Mb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xe400 That's odd though... isn't it supposed to be a micro-LAN between the PC and the modem, in such a way that I could telnet into the modem for maintenance? You should set your _second_ network card's IP address to 192.168.0.254 See the Gentoo documentation on how to do this. Makes sense. And then the PCs can just see each other? If I set Samba up here and configure my printer, the win98 box will be able to see it? 192.168.x.x is a range of IP addresses, reserved for LAN use. That is, they are not valid on the internet. There is also 172.16.x.x-172.31.x.x and 10.x.x.x , but these are for larger local networks. I see. This also means, I guess, that my other box won't have an external IP address (nor will it have a connection at all when this one is off). That's how my old cable ISP worked... we had 10.x.x.x addresses (which sucked if I wanted to have an FTP server for friends on a different ISP).

Hello Gentooers! Sry to interject but I must say that I really like the fact that portage cleans out a lot of the old ebuilds. In fact I'd like to see more house keeping. One possible suggestion would be the addition of a package (portage-archives maybe ?) that extracts the old ebuilds to your portage overlay, hopefully maintaining categories. Then pick what ever ya want. This would help the gentoo rsync mirrors and still satisfy those that crave the features/semantics of old. :) Thanks and Happy Gentooing!(Isn't that a national holiday yet!?) j Claes Wallin said: On Tue, 24 Jun 2003 07:44:47 -0700 Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One of my big beefs with debian is you can only really install the latest version of the software, and you can't downgrade without having the older deb packages there already.

[gentoo-user] Getting XF86 to run on a C-180 box
Hello. I have a C-180 Visualize RISC system with a (GSC) A4070 video card with a A4747 daughter card. The system is happily running with Gentoo Linux, and the swap space hasn't even been touched... I would like to get this thing into doing something more than heating my bedroom, so I am wondering if anyone has a XF86Config file that I could get the video driver settings for the above card configuration.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Gentoo/m68k
Another show stopper is the 68LC40's (or was it 680LC40?). They not only didn't have an FPU but some were b0rked and you couldn't use FPU emulation on them. A lot of the lower end '040 based Macs used them. Not sure about other 680x0 based systems. The 68LC040 is a problem, but the beauty of Gentoo is that you can compile everything using a FP math library in place of the hardware FPU instructions, if you need to. Software FP math is also much faster than an emulated hardware FPU, on most hardware, so this is of benefit to all FPU-less machines, not just the b0rked ones. Don't ask me about the specifics of this, it's something I've never had to do under Linux. It does work just fine using the regular MacOS compilers - there weren't all that many 68k Macs that came with FPUs as standard, so almost all applications were compiled with software FP math - and these worked just fine on the 'LC040. FWIW, I have access to a couple of old Macs with the 68LC040 in them, but it might be hard to get them in a working state (from a hardware perspective, those machines have been *abused*, and they are also very short of RAM and disk space). I also have a full 68040 and a 68030/68881 combo, which work properly, though the latter is also exceedingly short of RAM and disk. -- from: Jonathan Chromatix Morton mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/ tagline: The key to knowledge is not to rely on people to teach you it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'm afraid you can't connect a modem to a hub (in this circumstance) :) If your ADSL modem only has an ethernet port, your linux box will need two network cards. One to connect the PC to the hub, and one to connect the PC to the modem. If the modem has a USB port, and it's one of the (relatively few) ADSL modems with a Linux driver, you could connect it via USB and thus avoid the need for a second network card. To actually get the second PC on the internet, your Linux PC will need to have the following enabled in the kernel: Networking options --- IP: Netfilter Configuration --- Connection tracking [M] IP tables support [M] Full NAT [M] MASQUERADE target support [M] Your Linux machine needs the above options to perform NAT.. specifically IP masquerading. This allows both your PCs to have LAN IP addresses, (192.168.0.x), but both use the internet, (by having their IP address 'translated' into your ADSL IP address, and back). You may well also want some firewalling options, so enable at least: Networking options --- IP: Netfilter Configuration --- Packet filtering [M] Do I need these and the above options compiled into the kernel even if I'am gonna use a router instead of a hub? (I won't need 2 network cards in one PC, I don't think) All these can be staticly compiled instead of modules. You then need some way of enabling NAT, (and possibly firewall). There are some graphical firewall setup programs, but I think it's easier and faster to get it up and running with a simple pre-written script. I find this one satisfactory for home use: http://firewall.lutel.pl/ Simply fill in your various interface names, and specify what ports you want available to the internet and the LAN, then run it with ./firewall start. Note: you will need to have recompiled your kernel and the modules, and rebooted, before this can do it's job. The last step is to set up your two PCs /internal/ interfaces. For such a small network, I would simply give your Linux PC the IP: 192.168.0.254 and your Win98 machine: 192.168.0.1 x.x.x.254 is commonly used for a gateway machine on LAN, and this is exactly what your Linux PC will be. You will also need to set your Win98 box's Default Gateway to 192.168.0.254, and it's DNS servers to whatever your ISP gave you. MAL -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Not good for my purpose. However, if you stick a router between the switch and the modem (or get a router that has a builtin switch), you basically have a simple network, in which the computers can communicate with each other directly, and can talk to the modem (indirectly) at the same time. That still leaves me with some interal/external IP questions: I have an FTP server running on this box, and I'd still like people outside to be able to reach it.

Is there a link that explains sandboxing in gentoo? If not, can someone tell me know if I am correctly understanding the usrpriv and the sandbox feature? I have created a standard user testing: that is also a member of the (portage,adm,and sys) groups. If I have FEATURES=usrpriv sandbox in /etc/make.conf does this mean that if I type su testing - emerge planeshift that planeshift will be installed only for user testing. No other user will be able to access the install? If this is true can I then type su - emerge planeshift and I will have one local install for testing and one for everyone else (possibly the same version) If this is not what will happen can this be accomplished with portage?

[gentoo-user] ISPs blocking email from my linux box

Here's what I understand so far: In the setup I've seen, where two PCs are connected over a switch to a modem, it isn't really a network - the PCs can only talk to the modem one at a time, and it works as if the PC was connected directly. Not good for my purpose. However, if you stick a router between the switch and the modem (or get a router that has a builtin switch), you basically have a simple network, in which the computers can communicate with each other directly, and can talk to the modem (indirectly) at the same time. That still leaves me with some interal/external IP questions: I have an FTP server running on this box, and I'd still like people outside to be able to reach it. Will outside computers still be able to communicate directly with mine? How will they distinguish between them? I run a linsys here and it is a web interface to administer it. Under advanced settings there is a page for port forwarding. You can upen her up for FTP, SSH web server or what ever you like. The problem is, you'll need to use static IP's within your network to keep the FTP server enabled.

RE: [gentoo-user] 3 TB ATA RAID server
Hi ... Just a question about the RAID cards you are using. Who makes them? Are they supported under Gentoo Linux? I have just brought a ITE RAID card and cannot get the driver to compile - so I have 2 x 120GB HDs sat idle at the moment :( TIA On Wed, 2003-06-25 at 18:27, Patrick Nehls wrote: You won't get much/any performance increase striping the RAIDs in Linux. The amount of data that the RAID5 will need, especially with 2, 8 drive arrays will absolutely swamp your PCI bus already. If you are doing gigabit transfers on top of this your PCI bus will be hit even harder. With 8MB files you probably want a larger stripe size for performance reasons but the 3ware cards don't have much of a selection in that area (we use a 7500-8 at work for a 1.4TB array of 200GB Western Digitals). I'm not too familiar with the ins and outs of filesystem performance in Linux but I'd choose a journaling one just for the extra reliability. Neither Samba nor NFS add too much overhead to file transfers imho so either should work for your case. However if you have a Win2k client I'd just run Samba since the Windows box needs extra software to do NFS. If the IRIX box doesn't have samba then it may be easiest to run both on the server. 3ware recommends sticking the card into a 64bit PCI slot for best performance. We're using it in a 32bit slot on a standard Intel 845G P4 motherboard and haven't had any major performance issues though the data is not heavily used (mostly a huge live backup server). If that Aopen board has 64 bit PCI slots, definitely use them. If it doesn't, with 2 large RAID arrays in one machine, you should consider the extra expense of a new motherboard with 64 bit PCI, processor, and RAM. What case are you planning on putting this in? You can find some 3-4U rackmout cases with 16 hot swappable IDE drive bays but they aren't cheap. If you have a lower budget maybe you are planning on building one? You will need some beefy power supplies for 16+ drives. Finally, this isn't necessarily important for you, but many of the new Intel 865PE and 875P based P4 motherboards have onboard gigabit LAN that uses a new bus to offload all LAN traffic from the overburdened PCI bus. In your case, this would likely give you a good performance boost. So ideally I'd grab an 865PE or 875P motherboard with the CSA Lan and 64bit PCI slots (if it exists). Er though I haven't checked to see if the kernel supports these LAN cards. Please email me privately if you have any questions. Good luck! It sounds like a fun project. :) Patrick -Original Message- From: Karl Huysmans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 10:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [gentoo-user] 3 TB ATA RAID server Hi all, I am planning to build a file server running Gentoo, and before I start buying equipment, I would like to ask if anyone had any experience with a similar setup. Here's the challenge: I need to provide around 3 TB of disk space with a limited budget. The files I need to store are all HD video frames, typically in SGI format, file size around 8 MB each. The files will be accesed from an SGI IRIX workstations and from one Win2K box. All these have Gigabit ethernet interfaces. Some questions. -I really don' t have the budget to do this with SCSI disks, so I planned to use two 3ware 7500-8 ATA cards and WD 250 GB drives. I would configure the 3wares for RAID-5, this would give me approximately 3.4 TB with 16 drives. I would then like to stripe the two RAID's with Linux software RAID0, hoping this could crank up the perfomance a little bit. Has anyone ever done this ? What would be the best chunk size for the software stripe, knowing that all files will be approximately 8 MB in size? -Which file system would give the best results for this setup (ext3, reiser,xfs ...) ? Is there any way to tweak these files systems for optimal perfomance (8MB files) ? -Any tips to boost network performance ? Any tips for Samba and nfs ? Or is there another network protocol I could try ? -I have an AOpen dual PIII board available with two PIII-800 processors. Would this be enough, or could I have better performances using a newer board (dual Athlon, Xeon, ...) ? -How important is memory (speed, size) for this application? How much should I use ?

Due to the age of FTP, it was designed with a different philosophy to single port networking approaches. When you connect to an FTP server, (on port 21 usually.. unless the server has chosen to use a different 'control' port), you speak plain text to it. Once you are ready to recieve a listing of files, you tell the server your IP, and a local port you have opened for it to connect to, (varies from connect to connect, but usually around the 32000+ range). The FTP server then connects to that port on your machine, and sends you data. This is Active mode FTP. Passive FTP, works in a similar way, but instead of you telling the server where it can stick it's data, the server will tell you to connect to it and will let you know what port. Again, this is a dynamic port and usually a FTP server will have a specific range that it will use. So, if your ftp server allows you to specify the range of ports it can use for passive ftp, then you should be able to tell your router to forward that range of ports to your FTP server machine, thereby enabling passive FTP. This is advantageous for people trying to connect to your server, who are also behind a NAT gateway, (as your server won't be able to connect to their machine for the same reason... thus the need for passive FTP).

I did find /etc -iname '._cfg_*' and the output was this: /etc/cups/._cfg_printers.conf /etc/cups/._cfg_cupsd.conf /etc/._cfg_man.conf I got some help from reading the forum FAQs but not enough. Previously I had edited /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, now according to the tutorial, I can do etc-update, and replace all file IF I have NOT changed them before. I also found out that to find the difference between the new one and the old one I would do: diff cupsd.conf ._cfg_cupsd.conf I did that and the output was this: root# 56c56 ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- #ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] 166c166 LogLevel debug2 --- LogLevel info 477c477 BrowseAddress @IF(eth0) --- #BrowseAddress @IF(name) root# Now I have a few question: 1.) What does the number mean [at diff]? 2.) What do and mean ? 3.) What does the broken line mean ? 4.) How would I fix this cupsd.conf thing? Thank you, ZiM __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

I recently upgraded from version 2.55 to 2.55-r1 of spamassassin.
Everything was working fine previously, but after the upgrade, my
per-user configuration files are no longer being read, and the bayes_*
files no longer updated or consulted. Configuration files are in
~{user}/.spamassassin, and have not been touched since the upgrade. Is
there something that I am missing here?
IIRC, there is an option in the global configuration file, which might
have been overwritten when you upgraded that, when toggled prevents
user configuration files from being read.
I am very sorry, but I can't recall the name of the file. At least,
this gives you a lead to follow.

Please help!

In this particular case, it looks like there aren't any important changes (unless you want to change the LogLevel setting), so you could just delete the change. This should be in the list of choices etc-update gives you. - PK Thank you, ZiM __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Just delete the new file with your own. etc-update will give you easy to follow instructions to do so. The general output seems to be: origfilelinenum c newfilelinenum different line from orig file [or more than one difference] - --- different line from new file [or more than one difference] In this exact case, there is no need to do anything in your new conf file, just follow the instructions from etc-update to delete the new file, but sometimes there are new versions of programs that need a new format for their conf files, so you should check that everytime.

The amount of data that the RAID5 will need, especially with 2, 8 drive arrays will absolutely swamp your PCI bus already. If you are doing gigabit transfers on top of this your PCI bus will be hit even harder. With 8MB files you probably want a larger stripe size for performance reasons but the 3ware cards don't have much of a selection in that area (we use a 7500-8 at work for a 1.4TB array of 200GB Western Digitals). I'm not too familiar with the ins and outs of filesystem performance in Linux but I'd choose a journaling one just for the extra reliability. Neither Samba nor NFS add too much overhead to file transfers imho so either should work for your case. However if you have a Win2k client I'd just run Samba since the Windows box needs extra software to do NFS. If the IRIX box doesn't have samba then it may be easiest to run both on the server. 3ware recommends sticking the card into a 64bit PCI slot for best performance. We're using it in a 32bit slot on a standard Intel 845G P4 motherboard and haven't had any major performance issues though the data is not heavily used (mostly a huge live backup server). If that Aopen board has 64 bit PCI slots, definitely use them. If it doesn't, with 2 large RAID arrays in one machine, you should consider the extra expense of a new motherboard with 64 bit PCI, processor, and RAM. What case are you planning on putting this in? You can find some 3-4U rackmout cases with 16 hot swappable IDE drive bays but they aren't cheap. If you have a lower budget maybe you are planning on building one? You will need some beefy power supplies for 16+ drives. Finally, this isn't necessarily important for you, but many of the new Intel 865PE and 875P based P4 motherboards have onboard gigabit LAN that uses a new bus to offload all LAN traffic from the overburdened PCI bus. In your case, this would likely give you a good performance boost. So ideally I'd grab an 865PE or 875P motherboard with the CSA Lan and 64bit PCI slots (if it exists). Er though I haven't checked to see if the kernel supports these LAN cards. Please email me privately if you have any questions. Good luck! It sounds like a fun project. :) Patrick -Original Message- From: Karl Huysmans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 10:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [gentoo-user] 3 TB ATA RAID server Hi all, I am planning to build a file server running Gentoo, and before I start buying equipment, I would like to ask if anyone had any experience with a similar setup. Here's the challenge: I need to provide around 3 TB of disk space with a limited budget. The files I need to store are all HD video frames, typically in SGI format, file size around 8 MB each. The files will be accesed from an SGI IRIX workstations and from one Win2K box. All these have Gigabit ethernet interfaces. Some questions. -I really don' t have the budget to do this with SCSI disks, so I planned to use two 3ware 7500-8 ATA cards and WD 250 GB drives. I would configure the 3wares for RAID-5, this would give me approximately 3.4 TB with 16 drives. I would then like to stripe the two RAID's with Linux software RAID0, hoping this could crank up the perfomance a little bit. Has anyone ever done this ? What would be the best chunk size for the software stripe, knowing that all files will be approximately 8 MB in size? -Which file system would give the best results for this setup (ext3, reiser,xfs ...) ? Is there any way to tweak these files systems for optimal perfomance (8MB files) ? -Any tips to boost network performance ? Any tips
RE: [gentoo-user] 3 TB ATA RAID server
I built a 1tb server a while back using a single 3ware 8 port and it has been rock solid. I run it at about 80% full and have never run into any problems. I did compile into the kernel the 3ware driver and the scsi parts into the kernel and not as modules.

What would you suggest to be the best way to authenticate mail users at the ISP level. Can you be more specific? Are you asking about database backends, client authentication, etc? I guess I would have to say which ever is most efficient as well ease of implementation. We currently use OpenLDAP. Being a school, our setup will be a bit different than for an ISP. Users have accounts on multiple machines, we do no hosting and have only one domain, etc. OpenLDAP is our backend, and multiple machines and programs authenticate against it. PAM is used for authentication, NSS for resolving user names, rather than having virtual users. So every user is real on the mail server, but since only the imap and pop services in /etc/pam.d are set up to use ldap, users can only check mail, not login in any other way (except for us admins in /etc/passwd). If LDAP is working good for you, there's probably no need to use a different database type. I must say, if you're implementing a server with no pre-existing users on it (as it sounds like you are), I can not recommend anything _but_ MySQL. If you have high-speed disks (U320 15k RPM), as I am sure you do at the ISP level, then the buck stops at MySQL, IMHO. I also think that Postfix is a mighty fine MTA and integrating it with MySQL is really easy if you follow the docs on gentoo.org.

Re: [gentoo-user] Intel C++ compiler ICC
ICC is generally pretty compatible with all the gcc compiled libraries. It also CAN be faster, but isn't really all that much faster than the newer versions of gcc. I prefer gcc because it is closer to conforming to the C++ standard...
