[gentoo-user] kde locks out my keyboard
the weirdest thing has been happening to me @work here on my kde box. i'll be using my box for a few hours or so, and out of the blue, my keyboard stops responding. the first two times, it while i was in konsole (yeah, that sucked) and the lastest time was while i was using kate to edit a php file. the odd thing about this locking up though is that i don't lose all functionality. the mouse, my mp3 player (either noatun or xmms) continues to function and i can even keep using the konsole by selecting text with the mouse, and pasting with the middle button. but the keyboard won't work, and the numlock is non-responsive. (ie. on stays on, off stays off). all of this gets magically solved however as soon as i log out and log back in. the keyboard comes back like nothing happened any ideas? my stats: gentoo: 1.4 kernel: linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5 gcc version: 3.2.3 CFLAGS: -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer kde version: 3.1.2 thanks for any insight. -- war does not determine who is right only who is left. - bertrand russel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] gentoo adelie cluster init code, bug || me=lackwit ?
Hi there
I'm checking out the adelie clustering code. But I have found a problem. Is
the adelie code up to date? If so, I have missed something, otherwise...
If I boot a node with gentoo=adelie boot parameter a couple of things
happend:
In /sbin/rc line 198, it detects boot parameter "adelie", and then tries to
write the /proc/sys/kernel/hostname to a ${svcdir}/hostname file.
Here it botches since the ${svcdir} is /var/lib/init.d nowadays, which in
the adelie setup is supposed to be mounted read only from NFS, until later
when it is switched to a tmpfs space by the init_node() function call.
A while back svcdir was always on tmpfs since boot, am I right? hasn't
svcdir been moved to physical storage /var/lib/init.d from /mnt/.init.d a
while back, and tsvcdir added to allow a tmpfs mountpoint for temp service
and dependency data?
Since the adelie replication of /var /tmp /etc /root in tmpfs space hasn't
happened yet, shouldn't the adelie code try to write the hostname given by
the dhcp server to some other location, a temporary location, as I think
was intended from the beginning?
Because, even if I flag gentoo=tmpfs as well, the adelie code will still
try to write to ${svcdir}/hostname instead of to tsvcdir, so that wouldn't
help, now would it?
I'm very greatful for any ideas as to how I might get around this. Am I
just missing something, or is the code outdated?
Thanks
Jimmy

[gentoo-user] iptables and nmap results
hi I've build myself a firewall with iptables. it's working great and all, except that using nmap to check how to see if i could see some difference on the OS detection option, and it's doing none. Remote operating system guess: Linux kernel 2.4.18 - 2.4.20 (X86) as i read somewhere on the internet, it's more secure if you're hiding the OS running on the web server. Does anyone knows how to block my server to deliver such informations? i'd like too to know if there's a way to make iptables to log unsucceful and succesful connections on my IP adress. another thing...does anyone has some programs or ways to check if my server is secure (on the connection side). thanks M.B -- __ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by Outblaze -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] xine GUIs that work with GNOME2?
Yes, they will coexist. To check for sure look at the
ebuild for a SLOT= entry.
It might be your USE flags. If you hae gnome in it then
it will build it with gnome stuff enabled. Try adding
-gnome to the USE flag and see what happens.

this case, it "thinks" that going from 2.2.4 to 1.0.5-r3

is an upgrade. That's the source of my

Besides, what does oxine or xine-ui need ANY gnome stuff

that be why it wants

[gentoo-user] mutt in xterm does not beep
Hello folks, my mutt runs in an xterm window that does not beep, when I get new mails. mutt is correctly configured, "set beep_new".

[gentoo-user] Sync cron script acting strange
Hello I have a script which syncs in round robin around europe and then emails a list of updates and number of updates to me. Mostly, it works fine but there is an oddity that I have not been able to figure out. The script does two checks for updates: (1) emerge -Dup world > (2) emerge -Dup `qpkg -I -nc` > Now, given that this is a fully up to date machine both checks should produce /a similar/ number of updates. However, when run every morning, the first check produces the correct number of updates but the second check run immediately afterwards produces zero updates! When I run it manually it behaves correctly! I can't think why it would behave differently in a script to manual typing into a shell. The script is attached for your perusal.

Robert Young wrote:
Just a thought
I submitted a bug against Mozilla
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26068
It seems to be because of my CFLAGS
CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
I changed them to
CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2
and it seems to be working so far.
I have:
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
and the Mozilla build works for me. But, Mozilla is one of the builds
that overrides CFLAGS.
Here's a snippet from the 1.4-r3 ebuild:
# Crashes on start when compiled with -fomit-frame-pointer
filter-flags "-fomit-frame-pointer"
filter-flags -ffast-math
append-flags -s -fforce-addr
# Sparc support ...
replace-sparc64-flags
# Recently there has been a lot of stability problem in Gentoo-land. Many
# things can be the cause to this, but I believe that it is due to gcc3
# still having issues with optimizations, or with it not filtering bad
# combinations (protecting the user maybe from himeself) yet.
#
# This can clearly be seen in large builds like glibc, where too aggressive
# CFLAGS cause the tests to fail miserbly.
#
# Quote from Nick Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who in my opinion
# knows what he is talking about:
#
# People really shouldn't force code-specific options on... It's a
# bad idea. The -march options aren't just to look pretty. They enable
# options that are sensible (and include sse,mmx,3dnow when apropriate).
#
# The next command strips CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS from nearly all flags. If
# you do not like it, comment it, but do not bugreport if you run into
# problems.
#
# <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (13 Oct 2002)
strip-flags
# We set -O in ./configure to -O1, as -O2 cause crashes on startup ...
# (bug #13287)
export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS//-O?}"
export CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS//-O?}"
My question is:
Should it not be one of Gentoo's goals to make even optimized
systems stable. info2flags on my computer would have produced
Probably, and that's probably why some ebuilds override CFLAGS.
CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe"
I believe.
This goes against what I keep seeing people say that only
CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2" would be stable.
-pipe apparently only affects gcc performance, not generated code.
I've built my entire system with "-O3 -march=pentium3
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" and don't seem to have any stability
problems. Some of the minor problems I have are binary package related
(like nvidia drivers).
I did have a stability problem with Mozilla when I compile with
USE="gtk2" but that problem goes away with USE="-gtk", and either way it
completes the ebuild just fine.
