Re: [gentoo-user] vga=791 no longer works with 2.6.0
I have this same issue. I use 795 i think for 1600x1200 and i get the same blank screen. i know that someone mentioned something about their nvidia drivers or something but im using a plain jane matrox parheila 512 card and have never needed any external drivers.. not only that but when i take away the vga parameter (which im sure you must have tried) and gdm starts up.. if i ctl-alt-Fx anything.. i get a garbled output... its like all the vtermals are corrupted after any g/xdm starts... i would love to know a solution to this because its one of the few things hanging me up with the 2.6 kernel (that and i cant find the post on how to get 2.4 mouse behavior or how to get alsa working on generic ac97 onboard soundcard)... thanks, frank sorry for my poor english - im not usually that lazy. its just that its 3:30 am and i have work in 2 hours... and still need to sleep.

Re: [gentoo-user] oops! my date is 14 years ahead!
Hi, Right, I have an exact accident as you. Some weeks ago, I accidentally find that the system is 2017. I set the clock properly at once. And wrote a script to fix the time and portage db (though it is not a complete solution, as I've forget to consider the 'symlink' case) anyway. I just wonder if we are both experience the same hardware problem, or the same bug in some broken ebuil in portage?? My mainboard is MP-7VIP-L3 (KT266/ via8233a) And I at that moment, I have only install up to my fav. gnome2 desktop only. (i.e. wo kde nor most of the server stuff..) OR, '2017' has some special meaning in the hardware clock?? Thanks! Zarick 在 2003-12-15 Mon 的 17:39， Matthieu Amiguet 写道： I had some clock troubles a few weeks ago when I passed from local to UTC time (somehow my /etc/adjtime was corrupted). I thought I fixed it and used my box happily for a few weeks before realizing that I mixed things up somewhere along the path: date and time are OK, but my box thinks it is running in year... 2017!!! So I have two questions: 1) How do I set the date/time in gentoo? do I have to set the system clock only, and let gentoo sync the hwclock at poweroff, or do I have to run the classical date xx;hwclock --systohc sequence? 2) How do I safely put my date 14 years back??? can I just set the date, or will it cause problems? should I try some magic find invocation to set every file dated 2017 back to 2003? Do I have to delete/modify certain settings/log files? Thank you for any help. I'm very happy with my gentoo installation now and it would really bother me to mess things up for such a silly mistake... Matthieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

That is possible in most viewers you can get. What I would recomend is having a look at ImgSeek (masked) and Kimdaba (not in portage). Both use some kind of database for your pics, really helpful when dealing with larger quantities of pictures. 2 nice features of Imgseek: - It compares pictures using the actual content and displays similar pics. So you can either delete duplicates or easily decide which is the better one to use. - You can paint a small pic and it searches for the file that matchtes it best.

[gentoo-user] override RESTRICT=nomirror ?
Hi everyone! I'm currently preparing to use gentoo for our company servers. To speed up the process of portage and source download I set up a local mirror for both and changed the corresponding settings in /etc/make.conf of the system now to be installed. I very soon found out that there are packages, that have to be downloaded from special sites (ebuild setting RESTRICT=nomirror). Namly this happend first to e2fsprogs-1.33. Well I'm pretty shure the appropriate source tarball exists on my local mirror since I could retrieve it manually. Same goes for man-pages-1.64 which failed next for the same reason. My question: Is there a way to tell emerge to ignore the nomirror setting? This probably is a simple rtfm topic, but I couldn't find any hints. Help highly appriciatet! Thanx in advance!

[gentoo-user] gnome 2.2 to 2.4
Hi, the October 13, 2003 newsletter (http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20031013-newsletter.xml) says about installing gnome 2.4: New GNOME users will have no problem installing this release by executing emerge gnome, but those upgrading from 2.2 should keep a few things in mind in order to make the transition smooth. First of all, bonobo-activation has been merged into libbonobo in versions after 2.4.0, so bonobo-activation will block the upgrade. The best method to deal with this problem is to emerge -u gnome until the blocking bonobo-activation is hit, then emerge -C bonobo-activation and then emerge -u gnome again to resume the upgrade. But, when I do emerge -u gnome, it doesn't want to build the packages, even up to when the bonobo-activation is hit: emerge -u gnome Calculating dependencies ...done! !!!

Is something not loading early enough? That is exactly right, something is not loading early enough, and it's probably a module. You can try either of the following procedure : - Rebuild your kernel and include the module in it. - Edit /etc/init.d/pcmcia to have it run later in the boot procedure. Do you need to add something to /etc/modules.conf? Problem #2: /etc/init.d/sshd start yeilds this: /etc/init.d/sshd restart * Bringing eth0 up... * Failed to bring eth0 up [ !! ] * Please make sure that /etc/conf.d/net has $iface_wlan0 set * Starting sshd... Missing privilege separation directory: /var/empty [ !! ] eth0 is the 802.3 (which isn't currently pluged in) and eth1 is the wireless card that I brought up late (due to above problem). How can I get sshd to use eth1? Your question is not linked to your problem. In order to have sshd use eth1, you have to set the ListenAddress option in your sshd_config. However, this will have no influence over the error message you get. The message simply says that /etc/init.d/sshd depends on net, so the system is trying to bring up every interface that are listed in your default runlevel. If your network card isn't plugged in yet, I would consider commenting out the eth0 line in /etc/conf.d/net, and removing net.eth0 from the default runlevel. This should remove the message. Bonus question: What is causing the Missing privilege separation directory: /var/empty [ !! ] ? mkdir /var/empty not sure what the permissions should be root.root 755 ? I do not have the same error message, and have enabled the PrivilegeSeparation option in my sshd_config too.

Although this isn't the *only* way to sign off the list, it is the most fool-proof. Please read these instructions completely before beginning. tools needed: one Hammer, one screwdriver, one pair of pliers, one heavy-duty pair of wire cutters, one bucket of saline water, a box of sani-wipes. Step #1: Stop payment on any checks that you may have sent to your Internet Service Provider (GOD). Step #2: If GOD is unresponsive and you are still receiving mail from this list, you will need to find the mailhost. This is a machine usually located in a locked office. Every day around noon, the mailman will deliver a box of diskettes with that day's mail messages, including yours from this list, to this machine. Typically, only a handful of people have keys to the mailhost. The reason why this machine is locked up is because this is typically the best, fastest, most powerful computer at your facility and the people with keys don't want to share it. If you must, break or pry the door down with one (1) hammer (you did get all the tools needed?). Step #3: find the ON/OFF switch for this machine. Using the pliers, set the switch to the OFF position by tugging downwards until the disposable plastic switch breaks away from the computer casing. Discard the disposable plastic switch in an environmentally-friendly manner. This will alert the mailman to no longer deliver the diskettes with the messages to the mailhost not unlike the little red flag found on mailboxes. This should resolve your mail problem immediately. Step #4: You may experience a recurrence of mail within 72 hours. If this should happen, you will need to disable the mailhost once again with more forceful measures. Repeat Step #2. Don't be suprised if there is a sturdier door in place than the one you destroyed previously. This is due to the fact that the Have Key clique found out that someone has seen their private stash of computer equipment. Step #5: After you have once again regained entry into the mailhost room, open up the back of the mailhost. There may be a large tv-like device on top of the mailhost You will need to remove this first. Take your wire cutters, and cut any cables binding the tv-like device to the mailhost. Set the tv-like device to the side. With your screwdriver, remove each and every screw that you can find on the mailhost. Shake vigorously. Once this is done, the mailhost should break away into two or more pieces. Do not be alarmed, this is normal. Step #5: Find a large box with a fan attached to it. It will be clearly marked with the following labels: Danger High Voltage Do not open - no user-servicable parts. Don't worry, these labels are merely in place to satisfy OSHA requirements and you are not in any danger at all. Take the bucket of saline water and pour it into any vents or ports that the large box may have. Any extra water should be poured directly into the computer chassis, be sure to properly soak each and every component. Step #6: In the event of fire (OSHA has been known to be right on occassion), douse any flames with the sani-wipes. This solution is provided without warranty. It is not bio-degradable or fat-free. In the event of sudden death, contact a physician immediately. (Credit goes to original (?) poster, back in April, Steven Johnson.) -- cut here -- Hope to hear from you never again.

According to the information you provided it seems that there is a
problem when the server tries to load the ssl routines. Maybe something
went wrong during installation. If you do not need ssl for your ftp
server you can disable it in the config file. After that you should
check if login to the server is possible.
I then tried to stop the daemon with /etc/init.d/proftpd stop but it will
not stop. I get [!!] instead of [ok]. restart does no work either. Can
anyone offer advice?
You can try to kill the proftpd process manually. Try killall profptd
or try ps ax | grep proftpd and after that issue the kill command on
the PID it shows. Hope that heps a little.

This looks promising :-) For company use, for now, I decided to use a stage3 tarball. Well this only moves the problem to updating certain packages, but at least it seams to give me a running gentoo-box. I'm looking forward to try portage-2.0.50 when its officially released (I tried to install it but putting ACCEPTKEYWORDS=~x86 in /etc/make.conf just gave me version 2.0.49-18 ? and yes, I should have an actual portage-tree). Thanx alot! Starting with 2.0.50_pre1 portage has support for a /etc/portage/mirrors config file, see bug #28806. That version is still masked (as all _pre versions) because of all the new features it has a few problems that have to be solved first.

[gentoo-user] Disabling checkfs functions
I'm building a monolithic kernel (i.e. no module support) and an initrd that loads all my RAID and LVM drivers prior to mounting the root partition. The problem I'm finding is two fold: 1) The checkfs script (/etc/init.d/checkfs) tries to reload these drivers. It appears to be checking for certain userland programs and, if they're there, it attempts to start the RAID and LVM partitions. 2) I've got a RAID0 array with the persistent-superblock enabled--the checkfs script doesn't like this. In fact, it kills the boot up and drops me to single user mode. I've been able to workaround these issues by removing the offending code from the checkfs script. The question is this: Is there a way to disable those functions in such a way that they're not effected by updates? For example, with the initrd I can edit linuxrc and change the variables from yes to no for specific things I don't want to run; and visa versa for those I do. This makes it relatively easy to update the initrd after upgrading the kernel as I can simply enable or disable functions by modifying the values of a couple variables. This isn't the case with checkfs. It searches for the existence of certain userland programs and, if they exist, assumes that certain things are setup and need to be loaded--such as RAID, LVM, and EVMS. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You do not cache for the outside world what is provided by tinydns. Furthermore, you need two ip addresses (see alias_eth0 in /etc/conf.d/net). One is for tinydns, one for dnscache. Configure dnscache to query tinydns for addresses in your domain and ip-range. Change your tinydns data accordingly (mind: nameserver of your domain is tinydns, not dnscache). On all machines, point to ip of dnscache in /etc/resolv.conf. Hope that helps, off to holiday now!!!

Re: [gentoo-user] secure webserver based on gentoo?
Heitzso wrote: If you don't know linux security and the apps you'll need to study that, but that's a given whatever the distro. Yep. As far i can see, gentoo is a pretty slim distro, not filling up one's harddisk with tons of unwanted or unneeded stuff, so maintaining/hardening gentoo shouldn't be harder than trying the same with some of the other distros. Setting up a production server always requires some basic understandings of system service security. Installing apache means studying it's manual (which is excellent IMHO), as well as contacting other admins and reading articles mailing lists. The more services are opened to the internet, the more security issues. With a fresh gentoo installation, no server is running, not even sshd.

I guess I have to give it a try, but I doubt it will help. It just monitored overnet again during 1h time period, again after recompile of glibc the app needs about 20%cpu time after it has build up a couple of connections.

[gentoo-user] kde and radeon drm
Hi all, I am running gentoo of a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop. I am currently using the most recent gentoo-dev-sources kernel (linux-2.6.0-gentoo). The laptop has a 32MB Radeon graphics card and I have set it up so that it using direct rendering and everything works fine except that I cannot shut kde down. Everytime I got to reboot, logoff, or shutdown the computer crashes before entering the shutdown sequence - the screen just goes blank. If I turn off drm in the XF86Config file then there is no problem - but i would like drm. I am using a XF86Config generated by xf86config and slightly modified (load drm - etc). I have not used the ati drivers that one can emerge from gentoo. I have just used the support for radeon cards available in the kernel. (I tried to follow the instructions on http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=105354highlight=direct+rendering+2+6 but I could not get the Xserver to work at all). I have tried compiling drm support from the 2.6 kernel both as modules and as part of the kernel - I have also upgraded to the most recent release of the gentoo-dev-sources and none of this has made a difference - direct rendering works fine but I can't shutdown. Occasionally when kde crashes on shutdown it completely destroys my XF86Config file and I have to build a new one - it has also lost my imap mail account and my filters - it has lost my recent programms list - and it has destroyed kmix (now I only get an empty window where the mixer used to be - I have even recompiled kdemultimedia and kmix is still broken). Any advice on what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated Cheers Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Antworten: [gentoo-user] 2.6.0 high % cpu time
Yes I'll keep you guys posted. Lucky I did some tests last week with overnet, tuning the 2.4 kernel for more performance, for example I raised filedescriptor limits to allow more connections, therefore I also tested the amounts of connections, cpu time and so on while running overnet for hours so I have good data to compare. So far I can say without a doubt, that the performance dropped with the 2.6 kernel. CPU time compared when overnet has established about 30 TCP connections, observed running for at least an hour. Kernel 2.4: 5-10% Kernel 2.6: 15-20% CPU time monitored with gkrellm graph. Same test done with installed kernel headers of 2.6 and with recompiled glibc, nothing changed. I also tested without qos and with switched of firewall, no difference. I'm now going to recompiled glibc with nptl.

[gentoo-user] Using local file tree as a mirror
Hi List, Wondering if there is a syntax for /etc/make.conf that allows using a local filesystem tree as a mirror. Something like this: Prior to editing /etc/make.conf plug in USB hard disk mkdir /mirror mount /dev/sda1 /mirror where /mirror then has /mirror/gentoo which is a valid mirror tree. Then make an entry in /etc/make.conf that uses that file tree as the preferred mirror. Note /dev/sda1 is a USB hard drive and mounts fine (it is the actual mirror tree I use locally from another machine that has been running ftp, but I thought it might work to move it over and point locally??

[gentoo-user] Bin packages Portage (-g/-k)
Hello People, I have been playing with binary packages in portage for a week or so now, I have a laptop that takes AGES to do compiles. I've tryed a number of other approaches (distcc, nfs portage ect) but binary packages seem to work the best for my situation. However there don't appear to be any docs on this subject, indeed even some of the flags that portage uses (like -g) for binary packages do not even appear to be in the man pages. This makes the whole process a *bit* confusing. So if there are any people out there who deal with binary packages alot... please can you help me out with the following questions. What and how is metadata stored in binary packages? I read about the metadata all the time but I'm not sure what it actually consists of. I would guess the USE flags and gcc options that were used to make the package. but I really would like to find out for sure. I'm fairly sure if I understood that a number fo the below questions would answer them selfs. Should -K require binpackages for all dependancys? I *have* read the docs here. I can understand some of the rational. However if I have packages B and C installed and I want to install package A, with -K. not only do I have to have a binary for package A, but I also have to have binarys for B and C too. This seems odd to me, I was expecting that -K would require that all unmerged packages and unmerged dependancys would require a binary package, not that all merged and unmerged packages require binarys. Does anyone know if that is the way it's supposed to work? Perhaps does anyone know why? -K would be an excellent idiot switch to stop my laptop doing compiles if I forgot to make a package but currently it's WAY too much hassle to use. Why does -puvg --deep world differ from -puv --deep world? Any ideas? Recently I got this from wihtout -g: [ebuild U ] media-libs/libvorbis-1.0.1 [1.0-r4] [ebuild N] app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.62.0-r1 [ebuild N] app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2-r4 and this with -g: [ebuild U ] media-libs/libvorbis-1.0.1 [1.0-r4] Does --deep just not work with -g? I thought of that and ran --puv world but I still got the first answer and not the second. Why does -g download already merged dependancys? Now this is getting on my nerves as I really don't have much room on my laptop's disk. When I use -g with BINHOST (set in make.conf), I don't just download the required packages from BINHOST, I also download a pantload of the dependancys. This *really* confuses me, especially as the deps are already calculated and installed. Why does portage need the binarys too? Is there any way to stop that? Is it a bug?

Using Gentoo 1.4, kernel gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r9, ext3 file system. Dual P2-300, with SMP kernel enabled, 512MB RAM. Everything works fine until I add data=journal to /etc/fstab as follows: /dev/hda2 / ext3 noatime,data=journal 0 1 On boot, I get these messages: INIT: version 2.04 booting Gentoo Linux: http://www.gentoo.org Copyright ... * Mounting proc at /proc... [ok] * Starting devfsd... Started device management daemon v1.3.25 for /dev [ok] * Activating (possible) swap...

I then edited /etc/fstab, removing data=journal from my / entry. Upon reboot, everything works fine. I know journaling metadata is working because I have a kjournald job (and my disk updates every 5 seconds). Am I missing something to journal data?

[gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6 test must read !!!!
Okay, I want to summarize my experience with kernel 2.6 now. I upgraded to the 2.6 final yesterday and ran some tests yesterday and all day today. First of all, kernel 2.6 worked fine, no crashes , all my drivers worked all my apps worked, all my hardware worked. Test with overnet however revealed some issues, overnets CPU time usage is much higher with kernel 2.6. The first test I ran was overnet with glibc without nptl, overnet used about twice as much cpu time as before with kernel 2.4. For the second test I installed linux-headers 2.6-beta11 and compiled glibc with nptl (use flag nptl was set), the result stayed the same. So overnet used about 15-20% cpu time with kernel 2.6 , with 2.4 it was around 5-10% . To be able to compare the two results I ran the tests for hours and compared the cpu time whenever overnet build up aproximately the same number of tcp connections(measured with netstat) and the same number of openfiles(measured with lsof). Another effect: After compiling in nptl I noticed, that top gets confused by nptl the values it shows are not correct anymore. For example while compiling the accumulated cpu time is 90% but the compile process cc1 shows that it is using 2-5% cpu time and all other processes show about 0%, cc1 normally is around 90% while compiling, I upgraded procps to the latest release because top belongs to procps, but that didn't help it. So top is not working corectly with nptl. Although the system seems very responsive now I think something is wrong with 2.6 I'm not really sure what causes this, it could be due to the new TCP Stack, a result of the new sheduling, or thread handling. Who knows??? I would love to see a discussion about that and maybe some other tests with other applications, for example a webserver or database server under high load.

[gentoo-user] NFS setup
I want to setup NFS on my systems so I checked the NFS How-to. However, it's dated 8/2002 so I'm wondering how far out of date is it as far a security setup, etc. Do we need to worry about hosts.allow and deny or does PAM handle that now? I built NFS into the kernel and assume all I have to do is install the utilities and then setup the machines as servers with the exports, etc. Are there any Gentoo specific guides for NFS (I didn't see any in the docs). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] database app recommendations
This question is far afield and you're welcome to slam me for tossing it out to this list. If I need to throw together a database CRUD (create/read/update/delete) application fast (i.e. less than a week) and I want it to be cross platform and open source based what's a good tool to use? BTW, if you flame me, please include a recommended email list for me to be digging into with this question. Thanks much, Heitzso -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

AFAIK, there is no user authentication in NFS, so PAM never comes into the picture. You are limited to allowing and restricting by host/IP only, which is where the insecure part comes in. -- Andrew Gaffney -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

MySQL is open source, cross-platform, mature, and generally good all around. There are interfaces to it in many popular languages (Perl, C, C++, PHP) and there is also an ODBC interface for using it in Windows. -- Andrew Gaffney -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
