[gentoo-user] nomad zen and gentoo

2003-12-20 Thread Stephen Turner
hey ive been strugling to figure out how to get my nomad zen to work with
gentoo, is there any special files i need? does it just mount? i tried
mounting it like my sony digital cam with flash disk and that didnt work
out too well i tried a few other things sda1 2 sdb i see in the emerge
tree a libnjb which if im not mistaken is used for my nomad? a device
driver? i wanted to test it and went to the portage mask file package.mask
and didnt see it in the list, why? i really dont wanna have to install
windoze to use this lol any solutions? thanks for your help

[gentoo-user] emerge -U cvs fails on permission

2003-12-20 Thread Guy Van Sanden
Hello everyone

I just tried to upgrade to the latest version of CVS, but it fail (where
the previous packages worked).
The Ebuild seems to want write access to /home, but this is an NFS
mounted filesystem, so local root has no access there.

Any ideas?

 /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cvs-format.el

!!! Cannot write to '/home'.
!!! Please check permissions and directories for broken symlinks.
!!! You may start the merge process again by using ebuild:
!!! ebuild /usr/portage/dev-util/cvs/cvs-1.11.11.ebuild merge
!!! And finish by running this: env-update

Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6 test must read 


Did you ever think CPU accounting might be slightly different?

Well I'm not sure what are you trying to say now, because you don't refer to
a certain part of my post, it would certainly help if you would refer to the
part in text you have doubts about.

Maybe another explanation helps, top only gets confused when nptl is
compiled into glibc, if not top is fine and shows correct values.
So what CPU accounting are you talking about ???
The procps version I updated to is supposed to support nptl(so top should
support it), however that is not the issue here(only a sideeffect), the
issue is the cpu time used by overnet and without nptl I can be absolutely
sure, that my programms show the correct cpu time values.
Since I ran tests with overnet over the last few weeks with kernel 2.4 to
determine the effects, that kerneltuning has on the tcp performance of
overnet, I know exactly how much cpu time overnet uses in a specific state.
That's why I ask for someone with a webserver or database server to run a
test in case he has old statistics with kernel 2.4.

I will continue to run a few tests and try to locate the cause for this
issue, after I reemerged my apps wthout nptl again.




Unless you know how to really profile the app I'd defer to the wisdom of
others.

Sounds like you think a syntetic test is worth more than a real life
performance test. Kernel 2.6 is supposed to be faster, but did a lot of
people prove it in real world yet

 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] Crypto trouble...

2003-12-20 Thread Elton Algera
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Hi,

I have my homedir encrypted, with a cryptoloop device. It works great for 
almost a year now.
I would like to test the 2.6 kernels without giving up the possibility to 
boot 2.4.

It seems however that the encryption algorithms in 2.4 and 2.6 are not 
compatible. When I try to mount an encrypted device in 2.6 that is made in 
2.4, it doens't want to mount, it's giving the error 

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

indicating that decyption doesn't work as expected.

The other way around the same thing happens.

Moreover, on 2.4 util-linux-2.11 is required, and in 2.6 util-linux-2.12 
is necessary to get the mount and losetup commands working without 
messages that modules should be loaded into the kernel or that the cipher 
doesn't exist.

Now the question is, has anyone managed to get a dual-bootable(2.4/2.6) 
setup working with encryption?

Please send me some input on this...

Thanks,

Elton

[gentoo-user] 2.6 Disk trouble

2003-12-20 Thread Elton Algera
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Hi,

I have another problem with 2.6, this time it's lilo ;-)

Some time ago, I tried to install 2.6 along 2.4 on the same rootdisk.

However, after two boots, my reiserfs root partition lost a whole series 
of files, causing me to reinstall the entire system with 2.4 and ext3.

Now I'm taking a second try (with ext3), but it seems that reiserfs was 
not to blame for the previous problem. Lilo gives me the following error:

Warning: Kernel  BIOS return differing head/sector geometries for device 
0x80
Kernel: 65535 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors
  BIOS: 1024 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors
Added Gentoo-2.6
Added Gentoo-2.4 *

I assume this can cause some serious trouble.

So does anyone know why this happens in 2.6 but never in 2.4 (my system 
has been rock solid since I first installed it this summer)?

I have a nvidia motherboard (asus a7n8x)

Thanks,

Elton

Did you turn on debugging in kernel 2.6?

My guess is, that you have problems with the kernel 2.6 and the ide
controller either due to apic probs or just ide driver probs, which can
cause this.

If debugging is turned on you might see some error messages, that could
reveal what's wrong.

 The only thing that makes real sence to me is that -K doesn't consult
 the portage tree in /usr/portage but what would the point of that
 be?
Versioning probably. And the fact that this might allow you to remove
all ebuilds and so on from your portage tree.


 I can see why the dependancys of the packages have to be found from
 the metadata in the tbz, but why does the dependancy's dependancys
 have to be found from a tbz of that dependancy?

Because it needs to calculate a full dependency graph to make sure
everything is satisfied.  

 
 On a slightly different note, is the building of binary packages realy
 all that rare? I would have thought that there were a few good few
 power users out there with multiple systems doing this all the time...
 but I can find next to nothing about it in the docs or searching... is
 this just done by the gentoo maintainers for GRPs and stuff?

quite rare.  To build them reproducibly you have to wipe the buildhost
between the builds, or build-sessions. This takes time and is rather
demanding on systems.

My current system is that of manual intervention, most things are
scripted, but I oversee them for hand with each build. (this is also
necessary for signing and upload, the keys have passwords. And I don't
trust automation.)

I've read on a forum that if you ran the 2.4 kernel and you wanted to switch 
to the 2.6 kernel, than you have to recompile your xfree in 2.6
I'm not sure if it would work, I havn't tried it myself, but you could give it

Yes this could probably be also the cause for your problem, I'm not using
oss emulation, so that may be a reason why I didn't run into this yet.
Thanks for the links.

Do you use any programms that are configured to use oss?

  Hi,
 
  I have another problem with 2.6, this time it's lilo ;-)
 
  Some time ago, I tried to install 2.6 along 2.4 on the same rootdisk.
 
  However, after two boots, my reiserfs root partition lost a whole series
  of files, causing me to reinstall the entire system with 2.4 and ext3.
 

 Is this possibly it?

When you get this type of error, it generally means that one of the mirrors
in our rotation is down or misbehaving.  In these cases, we would greatly
appreciate it if you could file a bug on bugs.gentoo.org and assign it to

Re: [gentoo-user] NFS setup

2003-12-20 Thread Brett I. Holcomb
Thanks for the detailed explanation.  I installed the server on one system 
and the client on another.  They work and talk to each other.  I made my user 
uids the same on all systems (I've done NFS before on VMS G) and started 
them at 100 so that matches.

Right now I have a Gnatbox hardware firewall (the GB-1000) and it should have 
those ports masked but I'll check.  I'm planning sometime to make one of my 
boxes a firewall and replace the Gnatbox.

Thanks again.

   I want to setup NFS on my systems so I checked the NFS How-to.

   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).
 
  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.

 The existing howto is still pretty much on target.  Just setup exports.
 hosts.deny, and hosts.allow and start the appropriate NFS server and client
 daemons and portmapper.  You need to insure that uids match up for userids
 on each system, or you won't have much luck.  Gentoo (why?) likes to start
 userid's at uid=1000, wheras SUSE and others start users at uid=500.  I
 changed my gentoo id's to start at 500, which ment finding/trashing a
 number of /tmp/... entries before gnome/kde would start again.  Also, I
 have one work directory that is writable from both systems, so I made this
 owned by nobody/nogroup for ease of use.

 Don't forget about your firewalls (you do have them?).  I just finished a
 setup for my two local lan systems (this one is SUSE 9.0, the other is
 gentoo).  I use Shorewall on the gentoo system, and the sample entries I
 found on the Shorewall site were right on except for one little wrinkle. 
 I'm not sure whether this is SUSE specific or something added to NFS
 recently (found no answers via google).

 NFS typically uses ports 111(tcp and udp), 2049(udp), and high end ports
 32700...(udp).  So, I fixed up my shorewall rules accordingly.  When I did
 an NFS mount from my gentoo system of a directory exported on the SUSE
 system, I found that the SUSE system issued requests on port 744(udp). 
 According to the standards this is reserved for Flexible License Manager. 
 So, I had to add 744(udp) to my Shorewall rules.

 fwiw, here are the rules.  You'll need to do your own conversion to
 iptables if not using Shorewall.

 # outbound NFS
 ACCEPT  fw  net:192.168.0.4 udp 111
 ACCEPT  fw  net:192.168.0.4 tcp 111
 ACCEPT  fw  net:192.168.0.4 udp 744
 ACCEPT  fw  net:192.168.0.4 udp 2049
 ACCEPT  fw  net:192.168.0.4 udp 32700:
 # inbound NFS
 ACCEPT  net:192.168.0.4 fw  udp 111
 ACCEPT  net:192.168.0.4 fw  tcp 111
 ACCEPT  net:192.168.0.4 fw  udp 744
 ACCEPT  net:192.168.0.4 fw  udp 2049

[gentoo-user] help on grub with scsi raid needed!

2003-12-20 Thread Christian Schfer
hi gentoo-user,

I just got through an install og gentoo on a new box with scsi
hardware raid 5.

my hostdistri is knoppix 3.2 and this is my mount table:

/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw)
/dev/cdrom on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro)
/dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX type iso9660 (ro)
/ramdisk on /ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,size=97992k)
automount(pid211) on /mnt/auto type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=211,minproto=2,maxproto=4)
/dev/rd/c0d0p2 on /mnt/gentoo type ext3 (rw)
/dev/rd/c0d0p1 on /mnt/gentoo/boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/rd/c0d0p5 on /mnt/gentoo/tmp type ext3 (rw)
/dev/rd/c0d0p6 on /mnt/gentoo/usr type ext3 (rw)
/dev/rd/c0d0p7 on /mnt/gentoo/opt type ext3 (rw)
proc on /mnt/gentoo/proc type proc (rw)

so /dev/rd/c0d0p2 is the path to my systemdisk (boot) but what should
I setup grub to?

tia!

[gentoo-user] emerge --security-update world

2003-12-20 Thread KamaolaKid
I know it doesn't exist, but wouldn't it be a sweet feature to have an 
emerge switch that would only upgrade the packages that have known 
security issues?  I would love to have this for my server so that I 
could easily patch it but not break it with unnecessary builds.  How do 
you others do it (besides one-by-one).

Re: [gentoo-user] kde and radeon drm

2003-12-20 Thread knoxc
Thanks for the tips - unfortunately xfree-drm does not work with the 2.6
kernel. I tried recompiling xfree and kde with VIDEO_CARDS=radeon and
USE=radeon... but that didn't help.

Maybe I will just live without dri until gentoo 2004 is released and maybe
that will do it properly as it is supposed to be based on a 2.6 kernel.

 Hey Chris,

 Check out my posting and do a comparison to see if this helps:

 This is when I Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2003 2:02 pm

 Not sure if this is going to help but it has helped many others so far.

 The reason I'm unsure is that your running a 2.6 kernel but your
 following the directions for a totally diffenert card (radeon model)
 than what you have on your laptop.

 Let me know if this helps or not?

 Thanks,

AFAIK, you don't need xfree-drm with a 2.6 kernel. Just compile DRI support for you card 
as a module in the kernel.

[gentoo-user] how migrate from mit-krb5 to heimdal ?

2003-12-20 Thread Andrew B. Panphiloff
I use ldap for authorization and mit-krb5 for authentification,
but I want to store kerberos principals in ldap. So, I know
that heimdal can use ldap to store principals, but now
I have about 200 users with kerberos passwords, how
can I transfer all principals from mit-krb5 to heimdal (ldap)?
