Yadda yadda yadda... Apologies for bad netiquette... Talking to self.

I realized that virtual packages would probably not be automatically installed 
unless there was a 'default' package to fill in the virtual slot. And from 
what I've seen, this isn't the case. Is this a feature or a bug? ;)

YES! that worked.

Well.. tetex was installed on my system already, as aide depended (and a
bunch of other stuff according to "etcat -d tetex") , so I don't
understand why that failed, mayhaps I should have added -tetex to my
useflags right from the start since it's a huge compile!

Main thing though, problem is solved! thanks alot!

This came up a week or two ago. The xmms-arts plugin is being deprecated as it 
isn't being maintained any longer. However, for me, the plugin works great. 
The other options is to run xmms as 'artsdsp xmms', and use the OSS output

Hmm, i'm not an NT/XP expert, but I had a similar situation with a '98
box where lilo blasted away the windows partition, fdisk /mbr fixed it
no problem.

Shouldn't he be able to start with a bootdisk configure grub with (hd0)
and add XP to the list of O/S's to boot ?

Or do you also need the boot code sitting on /dev/hda2 to load windoze ?

Hrm, well I don't know why after installing linux on a friends laptop
and then trying to install XP to /dev/hda3 an error popped up saying
something to the effect of "Windows must be installed on first partition
of disk" fortunatly it was just a debian/knopix install and he just
wanted linux for curiousity's sake ;-) me being enthuiastic and thinking
microsoft wouldn't complain about not having their O/S first on the
disk, just slapped linux /dev/hda1 swap /dev/hda2 xp /dev/hda3 grr.

after 
xp /dev/hda1 
linux /dev/hda2
swap /dev/hda3

all worked fine..

Or did I miss something to do in XP ?

i have a little pII 233 here and it's running both samba and nfs.  nfs is 
stupidly easy to setup, just edit one file and you're ready to go.  how to 
edit that file wasn't a lot of reading, but like everything in linux, if you 
don't take the time to read, you're setting yourself up for pain.

i have samba running only for the lone windows box on my network, as well as 
my dual boot desktop.  the configuration is considerably more complicated, 
and imho a pain in the ass... but once it's running, you don't have to worry.

why do i use both?  because nfs is linux native and supports file permissions, 
executable scripts etc and because it's easy.  samba is just there for the 
windows boxes, and i'd toss it if i didn't need it.

configuring nfs was easy once i read 2 pages out of o'reilly's "tcp/ip network 
administration", and samba was a trial/error thing, reading various docs...  
'course it might have gone smoother had i had a book on the subject.

This is, of course, my own personal opinion, but I've always preferred using 
NFS for my internal networks. Realistically, there is not a lot of difference 
between Samba and NFS to someone who's not overly technical, as the 
methodology is the same. Choose something to export, edit some configuration 
files, and make sure the file permissions are correct. Samba and NFS will 
both work over an encrypted tunnel. Samba and NFS both support user/group 
ownership and the like. NFS is more of a UNIXism, and hence has slightly 
better support for setting up file permissions correctly between multiple 
machines. You can configure on the server exactly how much access a client 
machine has to the exported file systems by mapping certain UIDs and GIDs to 
other users/groups on the server. Essentially, that would be the main 
difference.

Samba, on the other hand, allows you to interface with Windows boxen. The 
downside to Samba is that SMB filesystem support isn't default. You have to 
maintain two separate password files to keep Samba working correctly (even 
though there is usually a 1 to 1 correlation between Samba users and Unix 
users.) In the end, Samba's overhead makes it a poor choice for sharing files 
between Unix systems exclusively. If it's there and you don't want to have to 
keep track of two sets of exports, then by all means compile in SMB support 
and use smbmount instead. Once it's part of your filesystem, you really don't 
notice the difference.

My 2 cents,
Brian

[gentoo-user] building a file server

[David H. Askew]

I'm about to build a file server, or add a service to existing server ..
and I had a couple questions you guys might be able to help with.  

Having very little experience with NFS/Samba and other directory
services I am at a loss as to where to start my investigation.

I know http://www.tldp.org has a lot of documentation about the
administering the various services, but is there a doc that compares the
different ones available ?  Is there a doc that would compare and
contrast different file systems available and how those do/don't work
well with the various services ?  

It will basically be hosting mp3/ogg files and a few movies ... so the
file sizes will be varied, but mainly music.

It will mainly be for other linux clients, but I would like to be able
to plug my win2000 work laptop into the network and have the files
available also.  Is samba my only choice for supporting the windows
clients, or is there another option ?  Is it possible to use Samba in
conjunction with other services and would I want too ? (i.e. would
something work better for the linux clients that would justify using two
different services to provide the same functionality ?)

any thoughts or suggestions/comments you would provide me would be
helpful.

Re: [gentoo-user] grub messed up XP partition

[Heschi Kreinick]

I'm assuming that "Disk error" is coming from Grub, since I don't remember
seeing that from Windows' boot loader. I guess it could be your motherboard.
Knowing which would be a big help.

I've done what you did before, and I was able to fix it with a combination
of fixboot and fixmbr (despite its name, it seems to do partition boot
records as well in Rescue mode. fdisk /mbr probably couldn't hurt either.
You said you reinstalled Windows? Wow. Drastic. That *should* have fixed
*everything* :-p

Since it doesn't seem to have, either I'm missing something, I misunderstood
what you said, or you broke something completely different.

In any rate, if you're sure that the problem is that the Windows partition
boot record is clobbered, you can make a backup pretty easily. I was going
to write out the commands to do all this stuff but then I was googling and I
found this page, http://astron.berkeley.edu/~jhall/grub_install_hda1.html ,
which, heh, seems pretty well targeted to you :-p
The only problem is that this is designed to restore a 9x windows, not XP.
XP doesn't have any equivalent command to sys, I don't think, so you'll need
to copy a good bootsector, like this:
dd if=/dev/hda1 of=boot.bin bs=512 count=1
then get it to your Linux install on the broken machine, and do:
dd if=boot.bin of=/dev/hda1 bs=512 count=1
I've never personally done this myself, but there ought not to be any
important information in that area anyway (now that you've clobbered it) but
you still might want make a back up. Which I shouldn't need to explain.

If that doesn't do it for you, you might have broken something else.
Alternatively, if you don't have a functioning Windows machine, I think I
can muster up the 512 bytes of bandwidth to email you a good boot sector off
one of my machines. Just ask me off-list.

Re: [gentoo-user] grub messed up XP partition

You shouldn't need to recover the bootrecord, in fact you should be able
to set grub up to boot your XP partition, not sure how you have your
partiation table layed out (give us an fdisk -l /dev/hda).

(AFAIK you can't install XP on any partition higher than 0 anyway)

But something like this in your grub.conf may do the trick:
--
# For booting Windows NT or Windows95
title Windows NT / Windows 95 boot menu
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader  +1
--
also man grub
also have a look thru the grub.conf.sample provided.

It would be wise to mount and backup what you can from the XP partition
if you are worried.

Thanks for the advice. Tried it, but it didn't work. Even reinstalling 
can't continue because after rebooting I get this error. Is there maybe 
another lowlevel disk format that Windows is expecting to see?

It's a double boot partition. I can see that there's a bootsect.dos, I 
don't remember that there has to be an .nt (or whatever) counterpart to 
that, but if there has to be, it's not here...

Are there other possibilities, or is this a case of backing up (all data

remove partition create partition and make the best of it?

[gentoo-user] grub messed up XP partition

[Vincent van de Camp]

In a moment of lessened attention, I executed 'setup (hd0,0)' in grub, 
rather than the 'setup (hd0)' that I intended to use. The problem now is 
that I can't boot XP that's installed on the (hd0,0) partition. It says 
Disk error\nPress any key to retry.
I have tried the XP fixboot utility to rewrite the bootsector on that 
drive, but to no avail. Is there a way I can undo the changes that grub 
made to this partition?
TIA

There is a project to get this into portage. Check the forum "Gentoo Common

k, found and fixed the problem. I tried changing default-x86-1.4/packages like 
Volker said and got a depgraph creation failure due to glibc depending on 
gcc-3.2. Checking glibc-2.3.2-r1.ebuild, sure enough I found "=gcc-3.2*". 
Unmasking glibc-2.3.2-r3 fixed everything.

[gentoo-user] NFS Home Dir Lock Problems

[Matt Neimeyer]

Hey all,

I've got three machines at home all running the same versions of
everything (so far as I can tell). Machine A is running NFS and
exporting several home directories. If I go to Machine B first and log
on to my profile it works but when I log out and walk over to Machine C
it gives me the following error.

Please contact your system administrator to resolve the following
problem: Could not resolve the address "xml:readwrite:/home/matt/.gconf"
in the configuration file "/etc/gconf/2/path": Failed to lock
'/home/matt/.gconf/%gconf-xml-backend.lock/ior': probably another
process has the lock, or your operating system has NFS file locking
misconfigured (Resource temporarily unavailable)

If I go to either Machine B or Machine C first it works. If I log out
then reboot I can go anywhere. If I don't reboot the first machine I log
in to I can't log in anywhere else. This is for any profile and any
order of machine log in/out.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [gentoo-user] Was: Norwegian language setting in console Now:Slightly different

  //Spider et al,

  I'm new to the list & will soon be replacing my long, 
irrevalent dependance on RedHat by going with Gentoo.  I find 
this post from Kenneth Macdonald Karlsen about Nrowegian fonts 
not too unlike a problem I've had in RH & hope I can fix in

  I plan to move to Poland next year & receive more & more mail

Mozilla produces Central European fonts fine, bash &/or pine &

You could set the PERLLIB (or PERL5LIB) environment variable to
include the directory.

See 'man perlrun' for details.

Hey all,

I've seen this requested before (by myself as well), how do I request a
feature for portage that might work something like...
	emerge --newworld ./world-file-from-some-other-machine

So that it would make that world file it's new goal and try and merge
everything in there? I'm not saying it would necessarily be easy but it
would be useful if it could be done.
I don't think that's necessary "as a new feature". I think you just 
need to `emerge -U `cat ./OLD.world``
You might want to add the -e flag, and *definately* do a `-Uv 
--pretend` first to check your USE flags, but that's essentially it.

I know this is bad rsync ettiquette & that you shouldn't do it on a

again..? Actually, I'm not sure that you need to delete the portage 
tree - shouldn't rsync ensure that when you `emerge sync` it matches 
the tree on the rsync server..?

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem exporting NFS directories

[Jerry McBride]

Over the last few years I've had numerous anomalies with NFS. WHat I've come 
to conclusion is that sometimes the exported resource isn't let go when 
unmounted or accidentally dropped. The next atepmted mount will then fail.

Lucky for me there's SHFS and SAMBA to make up for NFS's bad habits. I've 
never looked much farther than these three linux filesystems, but on that 
looks and reads well is OpenAFS. When I find the time, I may set it up for 
evaluation and report back,

Till then, have fun.

Not strictly Gentoo related, but while attempting to emerge mod_php, 
app-text/sablotron-0.97 is being installed as a dependancy.  Its compilation 
is failing as portage is unable to find a specific perl lib, running 'perl

[gentoo-user] OpenGL problems

[Matt Broughton]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Good day all,

I've got the Intel 845G chipset using the i810 driver.  I know OpenGL is
working nicely because the xmms OpenGL plugins render beautiful without
any lag whatsoever.  However, 3d games are a different story.  Return to
Castle Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory keeps wanting to use Mesa to do the
rendering, when I pass the correct command line to do that it works, but
is so slow its unusable.  If I dont pass that line and let it think its
using OpenGL it crashes after it calls for a VidMode change...the log
reports that call, and that it succeeds, but no errors.  Same with
Neverwinter Nights.  I've got it working fine on my laptop with an
nVidia GeForce but it refuses to work on my desktop...exiting with
"Error" and nothing else.
Has anyone else had these problems?  If so how did you manage to get
them working right?

'man logrotate' has some detailed info.  But in a nutshell, logrotate
looks at /etc/logrotate.conf, which includes all files in
/etc/logrotate.d.  You can set defaults and override them in the settings
for certain files, or have no defaults and explicitly state everything for
each file.  In order for logrotate to work, it should be called in
cron.daily.

If you have specific questions, I can try to answer them.

[gentoo-user] portage issues ..is it my fault?

[Simon Mushi]

Hi once again,

I am having a problem wit the portage system ..after I do an emerge rsync
I get this output:

- Updating Portage cache... -

I assume these are just errors that someone left when they wrote the
ebuild right? No fault of mine or my machine?

Ok then when I want to see what;s new in the world I try this:

And that's all I don;t get the list of new ebuilds.

Is it a problem with my system or what?

[gentoo-user] distored xmms output

[Simon Mushi]

Hi all,

I have recently noticed that the sound output from xmms is distorted
...seriously enough for me not to want to listen to what's playing. The
funny thing is playback from mpg123 or even dvd audio in mplayer for
example is perfect...and my speakers are definitely not bad. I have an
SBLive, and upgraded to the latest alsa
drivers ...even if I use the other output plugins like OSS or
eSound...they are also distorted...

Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

I have a problem: I cannot display windows from a remote machine.
when I log in to another machine and want to see the window displayed on my

xhost to grant the other machine access. But I get an error that it can't

my setup:

Thanks for your comments. I use "kernel-space" alsa. I don't use masked

What this is telling you is that you've set up your X server to load
the drivers for a certain type of display, and that it's not finding
that type of display. Do you have one of the Matrox models listed?

My guess is you ran xf86config and didn't give the right answers for
your hardware. It's not very user-friendly, unfortunately, but most
Linux distros (except Mandrake, that I know of) aren't very good at
helping you figure out X configuration.

Hey all,

I've seen this requested before (by myself as well), how do I request a
feature for portage that might work something like...

emerge --newworld ./world-file-from-some-other-machine

So that it would make that world file it's new goal and try and merge
everything in there? I'm not saying it would necessarily be easy but it
would be useful if it could be done.

Thanks!

well ye, you first copy over the contents of the first
CD to /usr/portage/packages/ and /usr/porage/distfiles

However this is *only* for sthe first CD. The sedond
CD contains only ythe packages/All directory and
according to the install guide, this has been done.

Well can't say I haven't tried that but in a 
different way.

emerge -k  would find the
dependencies to that particular package and install
that .
Now I did try fiddling with that and installed gnome*
from the pakcages/All. However, I'm unable to find
which of those packages has the gdm that starts up
gnome.

I will try listing the contents and 'grep'ing for gdm

but well just wanted a lean mean system and this would
bloat it up a bit.

cheers,
Sharath

When a problem is caused by two interacting systems, it's not easy to
point a finger. The LinkSys firmware triggered the dysfunction - I'd
talk to them first.

It's far from certain that this is a fault in Linux. Windows has all
sorts of non-standard behaviors in its networking, and it's easy to fall
into the trap of depending on them. That's why using a network analyzer
would be useful.

Anyway... glad you're back in business. Please bang on LinkSys loudly
enough to get their attention on this problem.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge -e missing over a quarter of installedpackages

Identical, however, I suspect that rather than a general problem, I
might (well, probably did) cause it by ctrl-C'ing an emerge sync that
hung when the modem dropped off line - was impatient.  this was a few
weeks ago, but this is the only anomaly I can identify that might have
caused it.

LVM containers accross multiple disks act like RAID0 in that if one disks

Easier said than done.  I would suggest making a tarball of your / and 
unpacking it onto another machine.  Although if you are really hellbent on 
copying over Portage's DB of install packages, you're going to want to work 
with /var/db.

ok I did a little test, what I said before worked ok with glibc but not with 
gcc.  I copied the gcc-3.3.1.ebuild to gcc-3.3.1-r1.ebuild and "x86" in 
portage local and that fixed the problem for me.

Due to their design, unfortunetly no.
I've tried moving them to other locations symlinking back, but I haven't
had much luck in doing that.

In theory, I believe all of their binaries belong in /usr/sbin.

Recompiled, rebooted and running fine. I'm about to add a comment to your bug 
report as soon as my password arrives. I can't imagine ACPI being bad on 
machines without HT or APIC since it's been in the 2.5 series for a long time 
and even backported to the 2.4 series. I'd say it's just a small bug by 
whomever did the bk3 patches. The HT ACPI bit wasn't in the previous one - 
seems like that was integrated incorrectly.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem exporting NFS directories

[Joe Stone]

hi !

I have/had the same.
My problem came from the sleep & kill in the /etc/init.d/nfs - start

nfs has a list of clients in /var/lib/nfs/xtab and in rmtab the state, I 
think. And it tries to reexport the dirs somehow, but if the clients are 
offline, then it hangs till the kill in /etc/init.d/nfs

my understanding is, that this /var/lib/nfs/xtab and rmtab makes it possible, 
that the clients are not disturbed by a server-disconnect, they get 
reconnected automatically after the server comes up again.

Nice if the server runs 24/7 but I turn my "file-server" off after use and 
sometimes I turn the server down when the clients are on and then the 
troubles starts. Did you kill the server befor the client?

add -v in your /etc/init.d/nfs - start function and you can see, what gets 
exported:
ebegin "Exporting NFS directories"
$exportfs -v -r 1>&2 &

I have changed my /etc/init.d/nfs -start-function to:

if grep -q '^/' /etc/exports &>/dev/null; then
ebegin "Killing *tab and creating rmtab"
rm /var/lib/nfs/*tab
touch /var/lib/nfs/rmtab
ebegin "Exporting NFS directories"
$exportfs -v -r 1>&2 &


and now I have no problems anymore.
If you use your NFS only at home, try it. 
It works for me, but I have never tired to understand this fully.
Remeber: you loose the Client-Server-Connection if you restart nfs!

Damn, you're right. My machine has a local APIC, but when using it my PCMCIA 
modem drops down to 1kb/s which really sux.

I checked into the kernel config files and found on line 33 of 
drivers/acpi/Kconfig:

depends on IA64 || (X86 && ACPI_HT)

I changed that to:

depends on IA64 || X86

That's allowed me to remove the APIC stuff as well as ACPI Processor 
Enumeration for HT - that I'm happy about to seeing I have an AMD! 
Recompiling now and will let you know how it goes once I've rebooted.

As I said, I tried the PORTAGE_OVERLAY but it didn't work. True, I used 
"KEYWORDS='~x86'" but I've got "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86'" in make.conf. But 
just to be thorough, I changed it to 'x86' and it still doesn't work.

I emerged it before copying it to PORTAGE_OVERLAY, though. Perhaps I should 
unmerge and merge again? I can't find anything in 
/var/db/pkg/sys-devel/gcc-3.3.1 that links that package to /usr/portage, 
however, so I don't think that'll work either.

which seems to work reasonably well.

/ rw
/usr  ro,nodev
/opt  ro,nodev
/var  rw,nodev
/tmp  rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev
/home rw,nosuid,nodev
/boot noauto,ro,nosuid

Due to bad design of some system programs
you need / to be mounted rw at boot :-(.

It should be possible to later remount / as ro, but you certainly can't
do it at boot.

If you are certain you aren't going to run anything that puts suid code
in /var, then add nosuid there.

qmail, vpopmail and a few other programs do put suid code in /var, so I
don't suggest it by default.

The noexec on /tmp will save you from a LOT of trouble, as the great
majority of rootkits try to run from there. On the other hand, it will
break some scripts (the livecd creation script for eg), so YMMV.

For security, i'd suggest you take a look at the Gentoo SELinux stuff.

[gentoo-user] Many ebuilds fail (cd failes after configure)

[Paidhi]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to update my packages and most of them fail to emerge.
So far I found libgtop, util-linux, gdm, libxslt, apache and apr having this 
problem.


It looks like after the configure step make want's to cd into a directory 
that's not existing. It's always the same error "... cd: ... : No such file 
or directory".

Here are the messages for apache and util-linux as example (similar behaviour 
with the other packages mentioned above):

[gentoo-user] most secure partition layout

[Christian Schäfer]

hi gentoo-user,

I wonder what would be the best partition layout for a really secure
and performant system (running as router/server).

current layout:
/boot  not mounted
/  readonly
/usr/local readonly
/var   r/w
/tmp   r/w
/usr/portage   r/w

this is seperated on two ide drives.
but in a few days I will move the whole system to some scsi drives.
2 x 4,3GB
2 x 9,1GB
1 x 4,3GB destined to be an image of the base system for
  backup reasons

what would you recommend and most important information: why?



 
thx+regards

[gentoo-user] Unmasking GCC 3.3.1

[Jason Stubbs]

Hello all,

I know this was covered previously, but a proper solution was not given. I've 
done everything I can think of to unmask gcc331, but "emerge -uDp world" 
still wants to downgrade it. Even "emerge -UDp world" wants to downgrade it!

I haven't bothered with packages.mask causing grepping it for gcc doesn't give 
anything for the version I want to use. In the ebuild itself I find 
"KEYWORDS='-*'" which I've changed to "KEYWORDS='~x86'" but it hasn't made a 
difference. /usr/portage/metadata/cache/sys-devel/gcc-3.3.1 also contained 
"-*" which I changed to "~x86" and it still makes no difference. I've even 
tried PORTAGE_OVERLAY but no cigar.

I've checked all the dependencies and have all the required packages 
installed; i.e. it's not a package further down the tree that's masked. I 
honestly cannot see what I'm missing. The gcc33 forum says to unmask it in 
packages.mask but it's not in there - at least not anymore. Any suggestions?

Regards,
Jason
