AFAIK, you can't necessarily change the window manager with Gnome 2.x -- you're pretty much stuck with Metacity. Installing Sawfish won't really get you anywhere (unlike with Gnome earlier than 2.x). The reason I ask is because I haven't seen an error like that since the old Gnome 1.4 days, when you could swap out the default WM (Sawfish, IIRC) for a different one (like, say, Enlightenment)... Did you actually get Gnome fully installed? There are a LOT of dependencies, so it's usually best to use either "emerge gnome" or "emerge gnome-light", rather than trying to get all the dependencies yourself. "gnome" will get your everything except xscreensaver, while "gnome-light" is missing some other nifty packages, and seems severely limited from my perspective, but YMMV... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Have you actually told GNOME that you want to do this? You can either use % sawfish --replace (which didn't actually work for me when I tried to use this command to replace metacity with Openbox) or you can change the WM in gconf-editor (which did work, iirc, until I just switched over to Openbox and ran gnome-panel instead).

Re: [gentoo-user] OT software to block IPs automatically?
The original poster was requesting a way to automatically block suspicious IPs. Lots of good responses. Another idea, and I've only read about this (no actual experience), but may be worth looking into: "port knocking". The basic concept is that you would keep your ssh port closed *all* the time. You need a secret "knock" to open the port. The knocking method is achieved by pinging various ports in a specific order (and with specific timing). So basically, before you can connect to port 22, you may have to ping ports 302, 50, 17, 17, 22, 542, 1002, 98, 12. The server will recognize the sequence and open port 22. Like I said, I don't have any firsthand experience with such a tool, but I've always thought it sounds incredibly clever. Maybe someone around here has some experience with port knocking and can offer some more insight. Good luck!

[gentoo-user] OT: Confustion over network performance numbers
Hi, I noticed that my network seemed slow at times (when copying files). I thought I would try to do a little investigation so that I could at least get some baseline numbers for future comparison. What I have found is rather confusing to me (I know enough about networking to barely be dangerous). I have 3 pcs hooked up together on a 100Mbs switch. Here is the basic setup: PC1 and PC2 have 100Mbs tulip based cards. PC 3 has a 1 Gps gigabyte card using the sk98llin driver. I used iperf to test the speeds between various PCs. Here are the results using iperf: PC3 to PC2 iperf -c blaster Client connecting to blaster, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default) [ 3] local 192.168.123.183 port 33043 connected with 192.168.123.149 port 5001 [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec112 MBytes 94.0 Mbits/sec PC1 to PC3 iperf -c sonata Client connecting to sonata, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default) [ 3] local 192.168.123.158 port 32957 connected with 192.168.123.183 port 5001 [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 87.0 MBytes 73.0 Mbits/sec PC3 to PC1 iperf -c atlas Client connecting to atlas, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default) [ 3] local 192.168.123.183 port 33041 connected with 192.168.123.158 port 5001 [ 3] 0.0-10.3 sec408 KBytes323 Kbits/sec All of the other combinations show results above 74 Mbits/sec. What has me confused is that I can transfer a file from PC1 to PC3 at 73 Mbits/sec, but doing it in the opposite direction (PC3 to PC1), the rate is only 323 Kbits/Sec (although it has been as high as 5.8n Mbits/sec). Does anyone know why transferring files in one direction is 10 to 100 times faster, or if there is some ofther testing I can do to narrow down where the bottleneck is? Thanks, Kevin ps. PC3 is by far the faster PC I have. PC 1 and PC2 are 5 to 7 year old machines. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If www.server.co.uk:443 is used apache gets the traffic? Or is this (As I suspect) Impossible? if ssh.server.co.uk and www.server.co.uk have different IP addresses, then sure.. iptables will work.. it works on layer 3 and 4 of the OSI model. however if your two names share the same ip address, the reason apache can handle the virtual sites is because it's working on layer 7 of the OSI model - ie the application layer. panix.com has a custom little app that listens on port 80. In it's clerverness, it determines if the connecting client is a web browser or a ssh. If it's ssh, it hands off the connection to sshd, if it's a web browser it hands it off to apache. The concept is simple: ssh and www-browser send $STUFF to the server before getting a response. If the first few bytes the server receives isn't (GET, PUT, HEAD) then it must be an ssh client. I wrote a daemon kludge a few years back to fix a b0rked commercial app that ran fine under linux, but it's GUI client interface didn't. The SCO version of the GUI server accepted some extra state information the client would send. The Linux version of the GUI server didn't like this extra state information. My little kludge happily pretended to be the GUI server and relayed what it received to the real server process - however, if it ever received any extra state information it simply threw it away so the linux gui server didn't have to deal with it. Something similar could be designed for your case. Instead, the little daemon would just listen for connects, after reading the first few bytes, it would determine if the connection was an ssh or web one, then fork off a sshd or apache process to handle the input. In either case, you would have to setup sshd and apache to work as if it was called from inetd.conf, because in effect those services wouldn't be controlling the port, they would just be doing stdin<->stdout. I'm not sure how apache would handle the log information, though. (how would apache know the ip address of the connection?) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

For all that are interested. I went ahead and built my kernel with Symetric Muliprocessing support enabled and didn't have a problem.

[gentoo-user] Can't kill KsCD - can't eject CD
Hi there, Since my last update (udev, KDE 3.3.2) I'm having problems with KsCD. On a clean reboot KsCD starts without any problem, I put a music CD, start KsCD and play it without any problem. Once the CD finishes playing I'm able to change it using the eject button twice (first time opens the tray, second closes it with a new CD). But once I reach this point KsCD hangs and I cannot eject the cd nor manually neither using the command line. It's also impossible to kill KsCD (tried kill -9 pidOfKsCD, closing and reopening user session on KDE, restarting X with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE) or start a new KsCD. I must reboot to be able to use again the DVD drive. I found the same problem in the forums, but the thread was dated a year ago and no solution provided. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, best regards Jose -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Tried all that, but can't remove the "original default" of Totem Media Player. If I select that one, the "remove" button is unselectable. ...Ric I had a similar problem, and the solution (such as it was) was 1) convoluted and 2) not comprehensive, but here you go, for what it's worth. I had also installed Totem to see if it had gotten better, which it hadn't, and I wanted to remove it as an association with movie files, as well as make MPlayer the new default, as it was generally working better than Xine (but they work differently, so I needed them both to test some issues with "weird" movie files I was trying to re-encode). Somewhere in the GNOME Control Center-- I think in Advanced, but I have no access to GNOME atm, there is a module for setting MIME types, called something like "File types and Programs". Find it and hie ye there. Now, the freaky thing about some movie file extensions is that they are listed as *two types* of movie, and one takes priority over the other. For instance, iIrc (I am doing this from memory), *.mov files are both /x-quicktime and /x-msvideo, and /x-msvideo is the "boss" of the setting. So when I selected the /x-quicktime extenstions, and tried to select and remove Totem as an association for this movie type, I received a dialog telling me that I had to change the association of x-msvideo before I could be allowed to change the association of x-quicktime (the specific MIME types may not be correct, but that is the sequence of events). So what I had to do was 1) go to the "primary" MIME type as per the dialog; 2) make some other movie player the default "open with" program for that type (often by moving it to the head of the list of available associated programs; iIrc, there is no "set as default" button, but the first program in the list is considered the default, and there is a "Move up/move down" facility to manage the list; 3) attempt to remove Totem from the list entirely (which did not necessarily work-- Totem itself seemed to be unremoveable from some MIME-type listings as long as it remained installed, but since it was now at the bottom of the list of available applications for the MIME type, it was "OK" that it was still there. However, once Totem was removed or set aside from the "primary" MIME-type listing, it could be removed from the "secondary" MIME-type listing without complaints from the GNOME mime manager. So, as I said, convoluted, and not comprehensive, but it more or less got the job done. Hope this helps. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] OT software to block IPs automatically?
You could sing in for a free shell account (www.rootshell.be), and allow access from their ip/network only - when you are away you can hoop via the free account to your machine, adjust firewall and carry on. Shell providers won't allow scanner running on their machines :) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This may happen when files are overwritten/deleted while still opened by some other process. The disc space cannot be freed until the last process closes the file(s) in question and the new file(s) are written to a different location. This also explains why "du" shows the same both times and "df" output is different. HTH...

Check if it's safe to remove. Remove. Prelink again. In case of problems try the strace again.

And xfmedia is one media player but at that point it was paused (with some mp3 files). And if it was about temporary files, why they hadn't showed up with 'du'?
