Re: [gentoo-user] emerge dependency errors

[Jon Gaudette]

Earlier I filed a bug report about this:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24784

If you follow that, you should know when it has been fixed.  In the
meantime, the following may work for you, so you can upgrade other
programs than evolution

USE="-mozilla" emerge -up world

then, you can upgrade the programs other than Evolution seperately with
the regular emerge -u

Re: [gentoo-user] mod_php-4.3.2-r3 compile problem

Yes, one system was the libwww which refused to build first, not sure
what the second systems error was, something about libiconv (which was
masked) when trying to build php.  A build everything manually first
fixed it.

  The correct driver for this adapter can be found at

  It'd be nice if it could be included on the Install / Live CDs as that

I'll try it out.  Don't have access to the machines right now, but I'll 
let you know later this weekend.
You need to frobnicate your routing table a little. You want one default 
route out using your eth0, and then you will want to add routing 
exceptions with the 'route add' command. So if the remote server you 
need to talk to is called natasha and the ip address is 192.168.0.100 
you would do this: route add -host 192.168.0.100 metric 1 eth1 . This 
sends all traffic from boris (192.168.0.10) to natasha (192.168.0.100) 
via eth1. All return traffic from natasha would be destined for 
192.168.0.10 anyway so no changes are needed there.

Unmerge libiconv, it's hardmasked as it turned out to break a lot of
things, and is only intended for non-glibc systems.

I don't think so AFAIK metric is irrelevant for static routes, i.e.

doesn't matter on metric.
Metric become important with dynamic routing, i.e. if using some routing 
daemon.

I am using dynamic nameservers from the provider. After the hangup I
could not ping even the gateway.

Well... the problem is not solved but I found another solution which
works. I have two modems on my laptop. The other is a PCMCIA card with
ISDN (this is the part that does not work correctly). I guess the the
ISDN is implemented in the hardware so that linux sees the ISDN line as
a normal modem. The other modem is a Winmodem. If I connect through it
everything seems to work fine (so far). I don't know what the problem is
but as long as I get the transfers working someway I'm happy.

Thank you for the reply.

What ebuild was responsible for this change?  If it was slocate, then
this still does not explain the situation since slocate-2.7-r2.ebuild
(which is the ebuild installed on my system) is careful to chown files
and directories to the proper user (root) and group (slocate).  I
checked the CVS history of that ebuild and it appears to have done the
right thing from the start.  So what gives?

I really wish to understand what went wrong.  As before, I'd be
grateful for any hints.

Have a look at the gentoo-security-guide. It has a nice part on
partitioning, and mount-options. For example you can mount /tmp
without support for devicefiles or without ability to run executables
from it.

/   500MB
/boot   100MB (usually not mounted)
/home   8GB
/usr1.5GB (mounted read-only)
/var3GB

Of course, it really depends on the expected size of your database and web
site. A 3GB /var will give you plenty of space for compiling and a fairly
large database. But then you may expect a fairly static size web site with a
large database, in which case it would be better to 3GB for /home and 8GB for
/var. If your not certain on the sizes, then I would suggest similar to the
following:

/   500MB
/boot   100MB (usually not mounted)
/home   10GB
/home/mysql (standard directory)
/usr1.5GB (mounted read-only)
/var1GB
/var/lib/mysql (symlinked to /home/mysql)

You even do something similar with /usr/portage, meaning you would only have
to remount /usr read-write if there were actual updates to be made and drop
/usr down to 500MB as well. I'm not certain of the size of /usr without
XFree86, but 1GB would definately be more than enough if you move
/usr/portage/distfiles somewhere else.

One benefit of symlinking /var/lib/mysql (I think that's where the database
 is stored - it is with postgresql but you will need to confirm it) is that
 all data requires backup would be in /home. Secondly, if you worried about
 the stability of different filesystems, you could put a "more stable"
 filesystem on /home and "faster" filesystems on the other partitions.

*DISCLAIMER* I've never set up a server using Gentoo. I have set up systems
with several partitions and not ran out of space. Use information at own
risk, blah, blah, blah...

The best place I've seen for information regarding partitioning is in the
FreeBSD installation guide. It goes through the pros and cons in a fairly
general way. You should probably check that out and there's a fairly
extensive thread on filesystems in the Gentoo forums. Check those out and you
should be right. Good luck!

Hi,

You have a very interesting setup over there and you have indeed god many
good advices so far.
What I am wondering about is that nobody has suggested using iproute2 for
this stuff.

Your setup reminds me of myself playing with load-balancing a while ago.

I think you should check out the Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control
HOWTO (and especially Chapter 4. of it).. www.lartc.org
Anyway, here is what I would do If I were you:

--script start--

#first creating routing table aliases
echo '102 table0' >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
echo '110 table1' >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables

#then some definitions
NET0=192.168.0.0 #destination
GW0=192.168.0.1 #gateway

IFACE0=eth0
IFACE1=eth1
IP0=192.168.0.2
IP1=192.168.0.10


#then some action
ip route add $NET0 dev $IFACE0 src $IP0 table table0
ip route add default via $GW0 table table0

ip route add $NET0 dev $IFACE1 src $IP1 table table1
ip route add default via $GW0 table table1



#these you already have in place...
ip route add $NET0 dev $IFACE0 src $IP0
ip route add $NET0 dev $IFACE1 src $IP1
ip route add default via $GW0


#final steps
ip rule add from $IP0 table table0
ip rule add from $IP1 table table1

---script end--

Now your incoming packets should go the correct interface regarding its
IP-address.

Hope this works for you, if not then reading the LARTC HOWTO should help you
with fixing your configuration!

good luck

Sorry for the delayed response.
Man pages recommend a complete backup; a (partial) data loss is
quite probable. From "man reiserfsck"---

I've experienced this kind of memory leak (bitmap error) 2 or 3
times before, when I made a copy of the complete root filesystem to
another partition and back again, for the purpose of making the root
partition larger. FYI, "parted" with automatic file system resize
option wrecked reiserfs (partition was resized correctly).

ReiserFS v3.6.25 (vanilla-kernel 2.4.19) probably isn't completely
sound. There is a Windows tool that supposedly can read ReiserFS,
but _not mine_:-<< (RFSTOOL

Are you using the unstable option ~86 ?
If so, don't, at least not for today.
IRC mentions some problems with the portage today and I'm not clear on what

[gentoo-user] DVD rom keeps spinning

[Aaron Stout]

Hello.

I have a question about Nautilus and dvd's. When I mount a dvd rom I use mount -t udf 
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd . When I am in a console state I can access the directory and see 
the contents of the dvd. When I try to see the contents of the dvd rom in a graphical 
view through nautilus the dvd lands up spinning endlessly. /var/log/meesages reports   

Jul 19 16:06:40 flux kernel: hdc: command error: error=0x54
Jul 19 16:06:40 flux kernel: end_request: I/O error, cmd 0 dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 3348
Jul 19 16:06:40 flux kernel: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete 
Error }

Now I can play a dvd just fine with xine and no errors. I am just curious if anyone 
knows why Nautilus seems to run home to momma when i try to look at the dirs on the 
dvd. Kde's konqueror can list the files on the dvd without spinning the rom endlessly. 
This little minor problem is driving me nuts.

Hmm I hope mine doesn't break.  I briefly messed up bash at one point
when I altered my paths in /etc/profile oddly copying over the same file
from my other machine and changing the path again made the problems
disappear.(must of been a stray space/return somewhere I didn't see in
the file that messed things up)

Nope.  I only have a few things where I've unmasked them.  Most of my
packages installed are known stables.  I just found this error odd and I
figure it must of been the same thing that was the error prior(only I
didn't have verbose turned on so can't be 100% sure of that).  One of my
friends who also runs gentoo has been getting a single error.  I've not
has a chance to ask him if when he used verbose if the error was the
same thing as mine.

I'm hoping I don't have to go through all that.  Things seem to be ok. 
I just get that error when updating things lately.  I did have to
recompile mplayer but I think that might of been the gcc change or
something.

Slocate used to add it's own userid to your system. Since then, that was
integrated into the initial /etc/passwd included in baselayout, and the
UID# was changed in the process to avoid a conflict with something else.

[gentoo-user] OT: Burning CDs with CD Bake Oven

[Jason Giangrande]

Anyone know if it's possible, with CD Bake Oven, to burn a data CD that
isn't an ISO image.  I want to burn a CD with a few files so I can use
them on another computer.  If this is not possible can anyone recommend
CD burning software for Linux that doesn't suck?  Every burning software
I've tried seems to not be able to have some major flaw or not be able
to do something at all (like not burning data CDs that aren't ISO
images).

Thanks,
Jason Giangrande

[gentoo-user] kernel 2.6.0 and some weird problems

[Meka[ni]]

First of all my scroll on mouse doesn't work. I have two kernels on my 
system (the first one is 2.4.20) and with old kernel it works fine (so it's 
not configuration of X or hardware problem). I've have psmouse and mousedev 
compiled and loaded as modules. Do I need something else?
Second problem is PC speaker. I have no sound from it with new kernel. 
Do I miss some modules? Thanx and keep hacking. :o)

It's an official bug: .

What it boils down to is that the 'bash' ebuild creates a symbolic link
in the /usr/share/info directory, bashref.info.gz, which points to the
original bash.info.gz.  As a result, the install-info program which runs
over the info directory to build the 'dir' directory file finds two
different references to 'bash' in what it thinks are two different files.
Thus it declares an error.

While there shouldn't be an error displayed for this, it is ignorable;
the 'dir' file is otherwise correctly generated, so far as I can tell.
The error will simply keep showing up after running any ebuild that
installs a .info file.  The install-info program needs to be patched
to ignore duplicates like this.  (It can't just ignore symlinks, as
there could be symlinks to files outside the standard info directory.)

As the first comment on the bug report points out, removing the symbolic
link (and the dosym command in the bash ebuild that generates it) will
remove the error message.

[gentoo-user] mudding?

[MIKE MacMartin]

Anyone here mud?  If so, do you have a favourite client for Linux?  Is it in 
portage?

I'm kinda leaning toward papaya, but I don't think it's in Portage - I suppose 
I could always write an ebuild.  I also really like mudtelnet, except for its 
lack of aliases.

I really like TinyFugue, listed in portage as tf (also the executable), more info at

I just tried out gMUDix ... it's got everything I want except for ANSI 
background support (anyone know how easy this is to do?)

Anyway, tried it out and its for command doesn't work!

tf I tried out and couldn't figure out

   Well, the ones I found in portage were gmudix, gnome-mud, mcl, mudix,
tf/tinyfugue, and tintin.  I use tinyfugue myself, but then, I've been
MUDding since the days of tinytalk, the first MUD client I was aware of,
in 1990.  (Tinytalk being simply a telnet client that would rebuild the
command line whenever something arrived from the remote location, so you
wouldn't get lost halfway through typing.)

Tinyfugue plus screen or a few xterms make for much happiness.

Speaking of screen, does anyone know a way to make the hardstatus line
show window status information in more detail? I know that

hardstatus alwayslastline
defhstatus \005w

will give me a list of windows in the last line, but it won't show
modifiers (like '@' for windows with activity) like meta-w will.
Is there any easy way to get this behaviour, or should I start hacking
on the screen source to make it happen?

(or has this been added since screen 3.09.13?)

[gentoo-user] Gentoo Poll #1 results

[Fred Van Andel]

Gentoo poll #1 received votes from 82 people.  The first vote came 
literally less than two minutes after the poll was posted. A few people 
voted on the list and not to the email address provided, those votes 
are not counted.

The question was:
What operating system were you using BEFORE you used gentoo?

Multiple answers from people were accepted and counted in the total. 
Many people wrote in 3 or 4 operating systems and one wrote in over 30.

In the case of multiple choices each choice was only counted if someone 
else also voted for the same OS.

Here are the results.
