[gentoo-user] filesystem mounted read only during emerge process
Okay, this one is a stumper. Whenever I try to emerge any package that tries to go through the compile part of a build (checking for . . .) it hangs at that point. It is not necessarily the same point, but it is always at the same stage of the build process. Those ebuilds that do not go through this, like man-pages, do not suffer this fate. Here is the weird part though: after the process has hung, and very likely the cause of the hang, my root filesystem is mounted read only. I can't su, or run any process that needs to write to the file system. I can't even reboot properly because it complains about not being able to create a lockfile. I have tried turning off ccache and distcc even going down to -O2 from -O3 -pipe in case that was the problem but to no avail.

Re: [gentoo-user] File transfer with SSH - security
Hi Nate, Thanks. They are interesting links. In going through the links another question pop-up on my head. Would it be possible to achieve following targets; Method 1 - all steps to be performed manually 1) Create a tarball of a bundle of documents on a folder of local machine and a key of authentication to untar it simultaneously. The tarball will self-disintegrate on the THIRD attempt of decompressing by un-authenticated key 2) Create md5sum file of the tarball (This step can be omitted if the key on Step 1 can be created) 3) Send md5sum file and key of authentication to distant machine via SSH to a selected folder 4) Send the tarball to that selected folder separately (If the key on Step 1 can be created then Step 3 and 4 can be combined) 5) Checksum (optional) 6) Untar the tarball on that folder in the presence of key of authentication. If YES how to make Step 1. Method 2 - completing those actions on Method 1 automatically with ONE command line. If YES, any suggestion how to proceed. Any pointer or suggested List/Lists of posting other than SSH would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. B.R.

[gentoo-user] Is mirrorselect using ping?
Hello. This is my first post to this list. As well, it is my first attempt installing gentoo linux. I am tryig to install stage1. I am trying to use mirrorselect, knowing my network har problems with PING. I don't know why, but that is kinda off topic. During the install procedure, the guide suggests I should use mirrorselect to get useable gentoo mirrors. I go: mirrorselect -a -s4 -o /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf However, it fails (i guess). Here is the output: netselect: unknown host ftp6.uni-erlangen.de netselect: unknown host ftp6.uni-erlangen.de netselect: unknown host ftp.ipv6.uni-muenster.de And the last line of /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf: GENTOO_MIRRORS= I know the network works for other tasks such as getting pages with wget. But ping doesn't for several servers/networks. Does mirrorselect use ping as a method for checking whether a mirror exists, when going auto mode? Might that be the reason why it fails in my case? I should add: This is a playground server (beeing my first gentoo attempt), and I am testing this from behind an ISDN connection box with an integrated firewall - router. I manually selected close servers, so it isn't really a big issue, but I was just wondering. Best regards, gentoo linux is a pleasant experience so far. Jonas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I should also note that Freevo is started from the command line, not from within X itself. Whilst it was out of date, Freevo worked perfectly before the reload. Freevo will now run quite happliy boot and play MP3's and image slideshows, but when I try to view a video (any video, any codec) I get a black screen for several seconds then get dumped back to the Freevo menu. If I use mplayer from the command line it works fine and plays the specified movie file (the same file that fails from within Freevo). When I exit Freevo I see messages indicating that errors have been placed in the mplayer logs, as follows: mplayer_stdout.log looks good until the line: vo: x11 uninit called but x11 not inited.. and then it exits. mplayer_stderr.log has this: can't open '/root/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory. can't open input config '/root/.mplayer/input.conf': No such file or directory. vo: couldn't open the X11 display ()! Error opening/initialising the selected video_out (-vo) device. If I change Freevo to use x11 instead of fbdev as its display mode, I get an additonal Freevo error saying: Warning: display is set to x11, but the environment has no DISPLAY set. Setting display to fbdev. mplayer_stderr.log no longer has the lines complaining about the video_out device. Note that XFree86 is installed, as is the nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx. KDE and Gnome are NOT installed. I believe the Nvidia drivers are installed correctly (I get the Nvidia logo when I do a startx, which runs just fine). Running Freevo from inside X does not fix the problem. I am probably missing something simple, but stuffed if I know what it is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Murray. --- avast!

This can result in flakiness with any process that happened to be waiting for a time to occur at that instant.

Re: [gentoo-user] system time/hw clock
It wasn't a debate on MS vs Linux - someone gave wrong advice so several corrected that so you didn't go barking up the wrong tree. You might try man hwclock (if I remember correctly as my Gentoo machine is not available) allows you to update the system clock with what you have set. I had to do that on a machine that didn't keep time. On Tue, 18 Nov 2003 23:20:11 -0800 Marianne Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On November 18, 2003 09:43, A.

If at some point in the past, you booted the system with UTC in /etc/rc.conf and then switched it to LOCAL and shut your system down. It saved the offset time as the local time.

Well, since Daniel started Gentoo and it's private I would assume that he has final say and I really can't find fault with that as he came up with Gentoo and has put a lot of time into it. As someone else asked - what's the point of all this? It sounds like you have an agenda you want to accompish. I would suggest you email Daniel directly and deal with him rather than on the list as none of us can really answer your questions. I would also suggest you take time to peruse the mail list archives as there was a big discussion on Gentoo and it's structure, goals, and aims about 6-9 months ago.

This is a political question.

Well, a month later and I'm back to working on this dns problem. I tried to follow Mike's advice (found below), but I ran in to a problem. When I emerged djbdns, it never created anything called dnscache. It only created dnscachex, tinydns, and axfrdns. And unlike every other reference I've seen/read about, including Mike's below, it was put in the /var directory, not the /etc directory. I doubt the directory change is an issue, and since I don't really care about acting as a proxy dns to my internal network, I'm not sure I need dnscache, but I could be wrong on both counts. Anyway, it still won't work. :( I've added the domain and its aliases to the system using tinydns's add-host and add-alias.

[gentoo-user] gnome session changes...
Hello, I'm having some trouble convincing gnome not to save changes to the session. By default, gnome saves the changes, so if I logout of gnome with some programs running, when I logon the next time it starts them again. So I closed all the applications and logged out, and then I logged in again (no applications were started automatically... good). I disabled Applications- Desktop preferences- Advanced- Session Options: Automatically save changes to session and logged out. But when I logged in, the Sessions configuration dialog appeared, and, after it, Nautilus also started and this happens now every time... :( What can I do ? Btw: why can't I use the `win` key on my keyboard as a shortcut ? (it seems gnome doesn't see the key press) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] djbdns setup questions
I missed the first part of the thread (new to the list) so I didn't get exactly what you're trying to do. Is it just host a DNS server as the authority for your domain? Where are your secondaries? You don't need dnscache to host an authoritative DNS, you just need tinydns for that. The first thing I like to do when diagnosing a network service problem is determine what process is listening on the port I'm trying to troubleshoot. netstat -nlp will show you this. On our DNS server, I look for the UDP line on port 53 and get this: netstat -nlp | grep udp | grep 53 udp0 0 (myIP):53 0.0.0.0:* 1666/ To confirm this is in fact tinydns listening, I do a ps for the pid 1666 and find this: ps -p 1666 -f UIDPID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD tinydns 1666 1638 0 Oct04 ?00:04:41 [tinydns] Now I know that it's tinydns listening and that some other process hasn't bound to that port. Then I can move forward to troubleshoot the problem with tinydns. I use dig to troubleshoot DNS problems. If you do: dig @ns.foo.com www.foo.com a It will query the name server ns.foo.com for the a record www.foo.com. What output does dig give on your system? Also, knowing your actual domain name would be helpful. Then I could try to query from here and see what the response is. btw, your axfrdns is not working, as is shown by the 0 seconds uptime. You only need axfrdns if you have secondary DNS servers using the BIND protocol to sync with your primary, so that may not be an issue? -Eric Tom Caudron said: Well, a month later and I'm back to working on this dns problem.

I don't believe there is actually any difference between dnscache and
dnscachex, really. It's just a naming convention.
The /var vs /etc thing, that's weird. But so long as the links into /service
are right, and the ...{tinydns,dnscache(x)}/env/ROOT are correct, it doesn't
matter.
If you are only serving your own DNS out to the world, you don't actually need
dnscache.
I've never had a need to do zone transfer with djbdns so can't help with
axfrdns.
Anyway, it still won't work. :(
