Re: [gentoo-user] devfs problem: permission denied on /dev/null... boot fails [update]
Update: I've been studying the rc script where the error (/dev/null: permission denied) occured. I'm no expert on shell scripts, but I was able to figure out how to put in an if statement to test if /dev/null exists. And guess what? It doesn't! In other words, permission wuz denied cuz it don't exist! Now the question is how the heck could /dev/null not exist? I've been pondering whether I need to put something special in the devfsd.conf file to make sure it doesn't lose /dev/null but I'm a bit lost on that. I also wondered if there was some sort of update script I was supposed to run after adding devfs support to the kernel... an rc-update I needed to do??? Any help would be much appreciated...

Re: [gentoo-user] Centralized user authentication
If this is for your home network, which is behind a firewall (if it's not behind a firewall, you have other things to worry about before CAS), is high security really a concern? I would recomend NIS or NIS+. NIS is much easier to setup but NIS+ supports password encryption. They're both industry standards so the knowledge you gain will help you in the real world.

[gentoo-user] DVD playback broke after downgrading glibc
Alright, i've been seeing a few topics recently regarding downgrading glibc..and none of them seem to be fun experiences =0P I learned my lesson before and after i downgraded, i recompiled util-linux and other such important packages so my system would still be operational. A couple days later, i tried to play a DVD... both ogle and mplayer and both of them broke. Obviously libdvdread is the problemas noted below. I've recompiled multiple times (recompiled libdvdcss and libdvdplay at the same time just to be sure), making sure i'm using the 'stable' version, etc, but to no avail. Any ideas? oh, and i've tried it with multiple DVD's from both USA and Japanese zone's, and then tried the same DVD's in my other computer, so i know the discs aren't the problem. ogle output: [EMAIL PROTECTED] brendan $ ogle libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.8 for DVD access libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.

[gentoo-user] Re: Gentoo 2004.0 - Bug-Reports
My testing on a P4 system is essentially complete. I discovered one additional critical bug and opened Bugzilla 36866. The stage1 tarball does not create /proc, so the boot hangs during init when trying to mount proc on /proc. I have now built a complete minimal desktop system, and this email is being written from the test system. The following has been tested. 1. Bootstrapped and emerged system from stage1 (2 bugs reported, one critical) 2. Created remainder of system 3. using gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.0-r1 kernel 4. I also emerged from the chroot environment, X, gtk2, tcltk, xfce4, sylpheed and prerequisites. 5. Downloaded and tested Mozilla Firebird 0.8 nightly build. 6. After fixing the missing /proc, everything worked without a hitch. 7. Completed additional emerges from the new system. I will be using this system for at least a few days; will report anything new.

Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia module loads but is not found
yes, that would be the first thing I would suggest. Also: 1) What card are you using? note that you need to use the masked build if your video card is *too* new (like mine, GeForceFX 5700) but your problem doesn't sound like that. 2) if Spider's suggestion doesn't work, try to get us the exact error message and your "device" section of your XF86Config. you should also send us your "Modules" section to make sure you're using "Load "glx"" 3) don't forget about the nvidia-glx package. The most likely explanation is that your XF86Config file is wrong, for gentoo at least. X will run without installing the GLX module or "opengl-update nvidia".

I'm not picking on Ciaran alone, alot of folks need to read up on xargs.
You do NOT want to spawn an instance of perl for EACH file, using xargs
will save a lot of processing time by spawning ONE perl instance (maybe
a couple if there are a LOT of files)..
Here's a handy line I like to use, this handles those pesky files with
spaces and other nasties in the filename:
find -type f -name '*.html' -print0 | xargs --null perl -pi -e
's/find/replace/'
All assumes normal GNU versions, double check your local man pages! And
don't forget to backup before doing any mass replace operation!

[gentoo-user] nvidia module loads but is not found
I recently installed a brand new gentoo from stage 1, I'm trying to get the nvidia module to work. Note that on the same system I have a mandrake installation on which the nvidia module works perfectly. The kernel was built from gentoo-sources, after which I emerged nvidia-kernel. XF86Config-4 is configured correctly (actually I just copied it over from the mandrake system). The module doesn't load automatically on boot, although the relevant entries have been automagically added in modules.conf. However, insmod nvidia works, and the correct /dev/ entries are created. However, startx fails in any case (with nvidia module loaded or not). The error message says that nvidia module was not found.

[gentoo-user] Weird kernel problem ...
I decided to celebrate my new adsl connection by going over to gentoo; did a stage 1 install without any difficulty, my make.conf has march athlon-xp, I'm not using any ~x86 stuff. As kernel I used gentoo-sources. First kernel install with genkernel just to do this quickly aiming at optimizing kernel a little later. After having emerged things like kde and openoffice I went back to the kernel and decided to do it the traditional way: make menuconfig make dep make clean bzImage modules modules_install ... I have experience in various other distro's so I know the usual procedure ... BUT this time things don't work. Modules won't load, insmod module gives me a series of unresolved symbols. Note that I have done depmod -a, System.map is correct, the system boots ok (important things are not as modules). I got around this by building my custom kernel with genkernel --config and now everything seems to work (except nvidia, see my next post). I am very puzzled; WHY won't "usual" kernel building work ? Is it possible that kernel gets built with different flags than modules ? I didn't do make mrproper but as the sources have never changed could that be the problem ?? -- Michele Alzetta -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

FYI, I started a stage 1 install on two different machines - P4 (SUSE 9.0 driving system) and Athlon-XP (current gentoo driving system). After untaring the stage1 (20031228) and chroot, when I issue 'env-update', I get the error message '/sbin/depscan.sh - no such file or directory' on both systems. Bugzilla #36825 opened. Also on the Athlon-XP system, I was unable to execute nano. 'nano -w /etc/ make.conf' got message ' rxvt unable to open terminal'. So, I edited the file from outside the chroot environment and continued. The P4 is running under a SUSE 9.0 system without devfs, so I mount/bound /dev before chroot (per handbook). The Athlon-XP is running current gentoo with devfs, so I did not mount/bind /dev. Bugzilla not yet opened. Both systems are running an aterm session under X (P4 kde, gentoo IceWM). Both systems are continuing the install normally. -- Collins -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It seems like baselayout's changed quite regularly recently (this is in the x86 branch) and every time it does I get asked to update: 1) /etc/DIR_COLORS 2) /etc/devfsd.conf 3) /etc/fstab 4) /etc/group 5) /etc/passwd 6) /etc/rc.conf 7) /etc/shadow 8) /etc/conf.d/net 9) /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 Aside from rc.conf and maybe devfsd.conf I can't think of a single one of those that should ever be replaced or merged with a vanilla copy. In fact with most of them accidentally replacing the file with a vanilla one would be somewhere between an annoyance and a major headache. Is there anything that is/has being/been done about this? Thanks, Andy -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] mass-replacing text
Another approach which would work in your case is to do it in two steps -- first remove width="51" then remove height="20" On Tue, 30 Dec 2003, Andrew Gaffney wrote: > Andrew Gaffney wrote: > > Andrew Gaffney wrote: > > > >> I need to strip out the string ' width="51" height="20"' from about 50 > >> HTML documents.

Re: [gentoo-user] mass-replacing text
In that case you'd need to use a program that is not line-oriented.
Something like
#!/usr/bin/env python2
import re, sys
ifd = open(sys.argv[1],'r')
pat = re.compile( r'\wwidth"51"\w+height="20"', re.DOTALL)
ibuf = ifd.read()
ifd.close()
obuf = pat.ub('',ibuf)
ofd = open(sys.argv[2],'w')
ofd.write( objf)
ofd.close()
(WARNING -- untested code!!) which reads the entire html file,
processes in one fell swoop, and writes it out. Line breaks are
always a pain.

I would make two changes to this:
1) change $/=""; -> undef $/;
2) add s to the end of the regex (this tells perl run the regex accross
the entire string crossing new line boundaries. So the result would be:
find . -name '*.html' -exec perl -pi.bak -e 'undef $/;' -e \
's- width="51"\s+height="20"--gs' '{}' \;

find . -type f -exec perl -spi -e 's/string1/string2/g' {} \;
will do it recursively (in your case, string2 would be empty). Be sure to escape as

Re: [gentoo-user] I love my gentoo. :)
Heh, i'll add my $0.02 worth..
I began using Linux about two years ago when i got sick of windows
crashing every half hour. A couple of the guys in my dorm ran linux,
mostly RedHat, but my roommate ran Slackware. So I started out with
RedHat 7.2 and used that distro until 8.0. When 9.0 came out, they
started doing some weird stuff that i just let annoy me and didnt really
look into. (root (su -) had some wierd limitations unless you actually
logged in as root). Anyhow, by that point, one of the guys in the dorm
had mentioned gentoo, and i wanted to try something a bit more
'hardcore'. I gave it a shot about a year ago, and never looked back.
I'm on my second install only because I royally screwed things up. ('rm
-rf *' as root in /) oopsi was trying to clear off a floppy...*sigh*
How's that for idiot moves ;)
But all that to say, i've enjoyed gentoo very much. My gentoo box
doesn't do anything particularly challenging (general every day use, no
servers except for samba and NFS) but it's stable, and when it does
break, it's generally my fault, and after recompiling a few packages
again (or trying to remember how my fstab looked :-P) she's back on her
feet again.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo 2004.0 -- Testers needed -- and Testers you shall have!
If you keep up to date with 1.4, it is most likely *more* up to date than the 2004.0. In effect gentoo is an install once and reconfigure and update on the fly as necessary, and you are always up to date as long as you keep emerging on a regular basis. Look at 2004.n as a snapshot for a basic installation. My oldest system has moved from a gentoo-1.1b (I think) with gcc2.95 as a gnome desktop to gcc3.2.3 as a gateway/web/mail server with the latest x86, all without going offline more than briefly by just unmerging/emerging. Wipe your system to test the install by all means, but at the end of the day, you are unlikely to get anything new once the system is in the user ready state.
