[gentoo-user] Using Xine to play backed up DVD's
Hi All, If I have a DVD backed up to my hard drive (using 'vobcopy -m'). Is it possible to use Xine to play it? For example, with mplayer you would say 'mplayer -dvd-device PATH dvd://1' or some such, but mplayer doesn't handle DVD menus and many of the special features. I'd like to be able to do the same thing with Xine since it handles the menus and stuff so well. Any ideas? Tom -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] bootsplash, help me...
i am so confused by the bootsplash. after grabbing my hair for a few days trying to get the bootsplash to work, i am at the edge of giving up. can people who already get bootsplash working send me copies of those important configuration files? these include: kernel's .config grub.conf initrd (the one generated by /sbin/splash or came with bootsplash) the cfg file used to generate the initrd dmesg will perhaps give me great help too. i will be really appreciate if you can send any of those copies to: list at chentianran dot net.

[gentoo-user] xine (audio) and jack
Basic problem: I have no sound on xine. Fresh install from freshly repartitioned hard-drives, the whole works. The error I'm getting is: libmad: ALERT input buffer too small (2279 bytes, 0 avail)! audio_alsa_out: snd_pcm_open() of front failed: Invalid argument audio_alsa_out: check if another program don't already use PCM (Which then repeats ad infinitum, or until the video ends, which ever comes first) So I start thinking of other ways I've gotten around other audio problems with this computer: JACK. I see it's even in portage. Woot! Only when I try to emerge that package, I get: Calculating dependencies !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy jack have been masked. !!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct. Erm? Okay. So I try 'USE=~i386 emerge jack' to see if that helps. Same result. Anyone know what's going on here? (Damn...

[gentoo-user] best way to backup
Came home at 3am this morning to find my main desktop machine locked up solid... Rebooted and all of a sudden heard the dreaded clicking of the hard drive (a 6month old WDC 80GB). I was wanting to reinstall Gentoo on my main desktop anyways, but this wasn't quite what I had in mind... Anyways, I threw a spare hard drive in (identical to the one that died), and am in the process of reinstalling Gentoo (on the 3rd different machine this week ) Once I get everything back up and running, I want to start making it a habit to back things up on a regular basis. I was wondering what others on this list did for their backups. I was considering the following: - a seperate machine to handle all backup's of the various machines on my home LAN - buy another 80G and a RAID card and run it in RAID 1 any recommendations?

Re: [gentoo-user] Booting Gentoo
Andrew, First, try using the LiveCD's kernel configuration since you know that works. When booted from the LiveCD, mount your Gentoo partitions, then do mv /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config.bak cat /proc/config /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config chroot /mnt/gentoo source /etc/profile env-update cd /usr/src/linux make dep make clean make bzImage cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/whatever (make sure your /boot is mounted) This worked very well to get a bootable kernel, even if it was compiled for a 386. With LVM loaded as a module, it didn't like not being able to mount my various partitions. So, I recompiled as a 586 with LVM in the kernel and it booted very well. I've made a copy of the working kernel and am recompiling as a K6-2/K6-3, with a lot of the devices removed that I know that I don't have. When that completes, we'll see where the smoke risesgrin I've made copies of all the working config, so I can always go back to where I've been. If this works, then you know that there was a problem with the kernel you compiled. BTW, what did you have CHOST set for in your /etc/make.conf? The default of: CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu does not work with any of the K6 processors. You have to use: CHOST=i586-pc-linux-gnu It was set to i586. Thanks for the help!

Re: [gentoo-user] best way to backup
I use Arkeia (www.arkeia.com). The light (free) version allows you to backup three hosts (including the one which the tape drive is attached to). It recognizes a variety of tape drives (including my DLT), but it won't do anything fancy such as libraries or silos. You have to pay a bunch of money to get those features. But it backs up and restores nicely. It has some nice features, like scheduled backups, emailing of reports, redirected restores, etc. I have it working with two Linux boxes (one of which hosts the tape drive) and one Microsoft box. It backs them up automatically, appending to the current tape. When it needs a new tape, it generates an email asking for one.

I was wondering what others on this list did for their backups. any recommendations? The last system I bought came with onboard RAID (HPT 370), so I looked into using RAID as a backup system. From what I recall, my options required me to trade off performance for security--or use 4 drives. Being poor, my system is already too slow and 4 drives was too expensive. Simply backing up to another partition on the main HD doesn't help when drives fail (I always seem to blow out the controller on the drive). So what I opted for was 2 physical drives in the machine: hda and hdb. Then I just set up an rsync script to run every day through cron. I believe the script I initially used was syncro.pl from an IBM DeveloperWorks article. At any rate, I modified the script for my setup and then used it to mirror exactly hda to hdb. Now, when hda dies, all I have to do is to reach in and move the cable on hdb from secondary to primary IDE, and move the jumper to master. Then when I fire up the system, it is like nothing happened. Of course my fileseystem is only as current as 4am that day when the drive was mirrored; you could always just mount the drive and save files to it too, if you need more current backups. I can even do pretty big mistakes with file deletion, mount my mirrored disk, copy the deleted files back to my main drive, and I am good to go---as long as I don't delete files needed to reboot or copy. Otherwise, I just switch the cables and the jumper on hdb and reboot. Since implementing this backup system, I have never lost more than a few hours of work on anything. I don't have to worry about how to restore after a drive or fs problem, no rescue disks are needed, and best of all, with rsync, once the drive has been copied the first time, all that needs to be copied subsequently is the files that have changed that day (and rsync doesn't even have to copy the whole file!) But there are two problems with this system. First, the two drives are in the same machine, in the same room of the same house. Theft, fire, meteorites, etc. can totally wipe out my files. Second, this system does require two drives. At first it was hard to shell out cash for a drive that wasn't available for extra storage, but after the first time I needed it, that ceased to be a problem! -- Leslie C.

If you don't deem it sensitive, it might be a good idea to post it here too. I for one have had trouble with mounted volumes before, both local and remote ones. If it's not an nfs-mount, what filesystem are you using on the volume hosting /home? ext2, ext3, reiser or something else maybe? If it is indeed a network mount, you need to make sure you have necessary permissions on the server as it may not honor your local 'root' privileges. Also, in this case you need to double check if your 'cp ' commands above didn't screw things up i.e. you didn't end up with local copies of that stuff instead of the network mounted directories (could happen if you are running an automount). Automount seems to take control over the mount even to the extent that root is denied access in some cases, if youre running autofs, check your configs thoroughly, I've seen some cases where it (autofs) starts up with no errors, just to refuse all access later... The only other thing that comes to mind is a corrupt filesystem, in which case you can try 'shutdown -r -F 0' , where '-F' should force 'fsck' on reboot (even for journalized filesystems).

One way to set the keysize is to use the -k option. losetup -e blowfish -k 256 /dev/loop0 SecureFile I'm using an assembler optimized version of aes and I can chose a keysize up to 256 bit. I don't know how big the keysize can be with blowfish (but I think it's also 256 bits). I think 3des is the most secure algorithm (because some mathematicians have recently discovered a method to describe the aes algorithm in a way that they can reduce the amount of possible keys for a brute force attack, and it is possible, that further investigations in the future could maybe break the code - sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand what I wanna say :), but 3des is very slow, so I'm using aes.

Thanks, Yes I have experienced this issue using Juk with KDE. In my case, when I use xmms the issue goes away (i.e. all jerkiness goes away in almost every situation). Also, I have problems when I try to run another app that requires access to /dev/dsp such as mplayer, and in many cases when artsd is running it fails to see it as free. I gather it's because of arts, and I kill the process which fixes the situation. However, this doesn't happen all the time.

Have a look at e-bay. Sometimes you can get there tape-drives for low

But if you want to backup 80GB at once, it's propably cheaper to use

I use an external USB 2.0 or Firewire HD with some 60GB capa. Just connect it,
mount it in some /mnt/external dir, and then run rsync to sync all my home
directory ('cause that's what I value the backup for) with only the diffs
since the last rsync.
This way I protect the data even from PC HW issues, and can carry it around in
case of need.

What I will soon be doing will be hooking up a couple of drives in software RAID 1, to protect from drive failures. Then, I'll have rsync run daily from cron to back up my entire file system to this raid. Finally, I may tar up critical stuff, such as /etc, and keep a certain number of days worth. Rsync is nice in that the first run will take a long time, but after that it should go quickly. And logrotate could easily handle keeping the tar files for a certain number of days, even though they're not logs. -- CAUTION: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
