Re: [gentoo-user] OT: Good NFS for laptop?
Hi folks, beeing tired of synchronizing configfiles, browser's bookmarks and several other folders between various boxes in my LAN I came up with the idea to store my homedirectory remotely on my fileserver (a quite powerful Debian Woody box, XFS filesystem, recent kernel). So far, so good. If I had only desktops in my LAN, this wouldn't be much of a problem, perhaps Sun's NFS would be the choice (easy to set up, security concerns are not that important in my private LAN), or Samba, as I have experience with both of those two filesystems. But having a laptop I do pretty much work on I need something that allows disconnected operation, that is: Caching the files accessed while network is unavailable and even having some files cached sticky, like .dotfiles and similar stuff. This is important so I can work with the laptop if I'm not at home. After reconnection to the server, things should be synchronized again. As it turns out, rsync is quite a useful tool for this, although it's obviously not a filesystem. In my ~/.bashrc: alias home-up=rsync -avz -e ssh --exclude downloads/ ~/ master:~/ alias home-down=rsync -avz -e ssh --delete --exclude downloads/ --exclude ogg/ music/ master:~/ ~/ I type 'home-down' when I'm taking my laptop away, and 'home-up' when I bring it back to sync with other things. I don't care to have a bunch of stuff cluttering up my laptop so I exclude a few directories when downloading. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

(It's been a while since I've used it, so I could be misremembering.) And it has some helper programs, which list the files that are supposed to be rotated daily and weekly, and rotate the listed programs. The first rotation is always .0, and never compressed, the second is .1.gz and always compressed. You don't get much say in the matter.

If you don't specify a signal, SIGTERM is the default. My suggestion is that the process you are trying to kill either does not obey a SIGTERM or is in conflict about what to do when receiving a SIGTERM. The following translates to: Tell the kernel to kill process 16371 with extreme prejudice. kill -9 16371 It is the kill of last resort. If this signal to the kernel does not work, I guess the next level would be a reboot.

However, I get this error increasingly often 'no buffer space available', when, for example I try to ping a website or even the loopback interface. From whatever information I could gather from the Net, the error seems to be linked to my kernel. I think I need to allow the kernel to have more buffer space for network connections.

[gentoo-user] how to szie an image so it fits on One sheet of paper (command line)
Hello, What I wanted to do was to scan a sheet of paper, and reproduce it on my printer, sort of a command-line copier. Since my printer is at 300 dpi, I thought it would be simple: scan the paper at 300 dpi, and enter: lpr scanned-paper.

I don't know about any good network file systems other than the few you have listed, but, have you considered that this kind of functionality isn't really what the nfs should be doing? Usually, this stuff relies on a set of tools that use nfs as a transport method. My only suggestion would be to use automount, which will auto unmount should the detination become unavailable, then run something that will occationally check for the sync destination to exist, and run a sync at a time interval you specify, on laptop resume, etc etc. I've attached a script that I wrote to check for the presence of my PDA on the usb port.

Some folks on usenet say Coda is kinda dead since the developers itself think it's overloaded with features. OpenAFS[3] seems to have some sort of disconnected operation feature in it's TODO-list[4], but I haven't found much about this. I don't want to start a flamewar about NFS, AFS or other network filesystems. If anyone here has some experience with Coda or Intermezzo (or another NFS that could suit my needs), I'd like to hear.

Re: [gentoo-user] preventing users from escaping their home dirs
Ok, everyone. ext[23] has POSIX ACL support. Why not ACL some group out of any dir off of / they don't need, and only give them execute on /bin, /usr, /usr/bin, etc etc. Or something to that effect. ACLs are great for all kinds of mischief, but they can be difficult to maintain if you don't design things well before you start changing things. Also, you might want to make sure either tar, cpio, or whatever other backup tool support these things. I don't know if ACLs are currently supported through some sort of EAs or what. Just a thought.

Thanks, Dick Hi, first, off the top of my head, is the linux symlink in /usr/src pointing to the right kernel (the one you are using): alsa uses this symlink to determine where it should install its modules. I had a problem just like yours a while ago. Here's my debug procedure for alsa (it's kind of a works for me solution, but worth a try, it's not designed to actually solve anything, but to acquire enough onformation to pinpoint the problem) : 1) If you are using any kind of xdm disable them (they tend to call for the modules, hence load them and do not resort to the alsasound script). 2) Remove the startup script (alsasound) from the boot runlevel. 3) reboot the machine. 4) run alsasound by hand : 4.1) Does it complain that the modules are already loaded ? If so, another app needs sound and insmods the modules before you lauched the script, and possibly before the script is run when in the runlevel. Check that, and ask the app to be launched after the script 4.2) If script runs flawlessly, start X and xmms. If any sound server is enabled, disable it (we are tryong to have as few interfering sound app as possible), and restart X. Do not forget to check in the alsamixer if the channels are unmuted. Run xmms, load the alsa plugin. Does xmms output sound ? If not, make sure that the snd-pcm-oss and snd-mixer-oss modules are present, and try the oss plugin, does it work ? (make sure that you did NOT compile any oss support inside the kernel !!). 5) If the above did not work, try insmoding the modules by hand, and playing sound from xmms. 6) Try the esd or arts plugins from gnome or kde. You should now have enough information to pinpoint the problem. If not, could you send any unexpected output you got. One last thing, it can help to launch xmms from a console in order to get the debug messages. HTH, good luck, Jonathan D.J. Bolderman wrote: Guys, For some reason, alsa sound stopped working.

Re: [gentoo-user] how to szie an image so it fits on One sheet of paper (command line)
On Thu, Jul 31, 2003 at 01:25:11PM +0200, Henk Abma wrote: What I wanted to do was to scan a sheet of paper, and reproduce it on my printer, sort of a command-line copier. Since my printer is at 300 dpi, I thought it would be simple: scan the paper at 300 dpi, and enter: lpr scanned-paper. Hovever this gives the result of enlarging the image, so it now occupies 4 or 5 pages. So the question is, how do I estimate the resolution so that it will occupy only one page. or is there another commandline based solution? Well, by default, pnmtops in the netpbm package will convert a Portable aNyMap to Postscript, and always reduce it to fit on one page. (You can do 'pnmtops -scale 0.25 input |lpr' to explicitly scale it down; by default it will enlarge the image four times to change a 72dpi image to a 300dpi image, then reduce the result if it's too big for the page.) Nice thing about the netpbm programs is they all take standard input and output, so they can be used as chained filters and easily used for batch jobs. Might be useful if you gave us a better idea of what you were doing now, what programs you were using (including which print filters) and what intermediate formats. As another note, what you're doing doesn't necessarily produce the results you might expect: 300dpi for a scanner means you can still get 16-bit or more shades of grey in that one pixel; 300dpi for a printer normally means that the pixel is strictly either black or white. (Things like HP's 'Resolution Enhancement Technology' modify this, giving you a couple of levels of black by varying the size of the ink droplet.) Net result is that when you pass the printer a 300dpi greyscale image, it's still going to have to go through the usual pixel dithering to approximate greys. And a lot of printers of the 300dpi era use a fairly large 'halftone screen' by default, so the dithering will be noticeable. Of course, if what you're copying is straight text or the like and you're scanning purely on monochrome, that's not a problem. ---+--- Bryan Feir VA3GBF|Every man has somewhere in the back of his head Home:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | the wreck of a thing which he calls his | education. -- Stephen Leacock ---+--- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If alsamixer doesn't run then this suggestion doesn't make any difference. Good luck! Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] how to szie an image so it fits on One sheet of paper (command line)

(You can do 'pnmtops -scale 0.25 input |lpr' to explicitly scale it down; by default it will enlarge the image four times to change a 72dpi image to a 300dpi image, then reduce the result if it's too big for the page.) Nice thing about the netpbm programs is they all take standard input and output, so they can be used as chained filters and easily used for batch jobs. Might be useful if you gave us a better idea of what you were doing now, what programs you were using (including which print filters) and what intermediate formats. Thanks for the detailed answer. I have cups 1.19 installed, a hp deskjet 990c, and use the driver for hpijs obtained from linuxprinting.org. In the configuration menu i have set the printer to use 300-dpi color draft mode. For scanning I use scanimage from the sane package. The output was converted through ppmtojpeg like this: scanimage --mode=color -r 300 |ppmtojpeg -q 85 output.jpg identify from imagemagick tp;d ,e O jad 2532X35XX pixels, so to be safe I entered; convert -scale 2390 output.jpg output2.jpg finally: lpr output2.jpg with the result described earlier. In the cups documentation it is stated that cups supports jpegs 'out of the box', so I thought the procedure described was the logical thing to do. I'll give pnmtops a try tomorrow. Thanks again, Henk. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I have not heard of this problem with alsamixer before. My suspicion, once again, was that the asound.state file that alsamixer and amixer use as a database was not valid after your recompile. I have definitely had problems when that file was wrong, but erasing it and letting Alsa remake it fixed things. This is what I think amixer did. Glad it's working. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Well, obviously it does support jpegs out of the box, it just isn't doing quite what you were expecting it to do. I'm no expert on the internals of CUPS, but I'm guessing that, unless you specify otherwise somehow, it assumes that the JPEG file is at 72 DPI, much like pnmtops does; it just also automatically does a 'split large files over multiple pages' somewhere in the 'imagetoraster/imagetops' programs that it uses for data conversions. JPEG files do have flag in the header that tell what resolution the image is supposed to be at, but I'm not sure how it can be set in command line programs; none of the JPEG generators I've seen have an option for that. There's probably some option you can pass to lpr to disable the multiple page spreading, somewhere. As I said, I'm no expert on CUPS. ---+--- Bryan Feir VA3GBF|This Santa Claus business is played out.

[gentoo-user] Live CD is very buggy
The shell prompt for the live cd is messed up. the rotating wheel is always there, the terminal is not set up properly and the cursor(the rotating wheel) keeps scrolling on each line. I can't even find any older possibly more stable releases of gentoo on the web site. I was told that Gentoo is a very clean compile, but I can't even get past unpacking without errors. I hope with a fix for the display the installation will not be such an annoyance. Hopefully someone can give me a quick fix for this otherwise frankly there are too many other distributions with easier, quicker and more reliable installations for me to tinker with this anymore than I have. 1 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
