[gentoo-ppc-user] F80 Install Questions...
I recently came into the possession of a 7025-F80 and would like to install Gentoo. I made the LiveCD and booted it from OF... but I get two penguin frame buffer images and all the text is garbled trash. Any suggestions? Thanks J_ Jeffrey M.

Are you sure you want all these avilable to the internet? You may want to have some of these only listen to on the inside nic, if they are only supposed to provide services from inside your network. courier-imap - 143 courier-imap-ssl - 995? courier-pop3 - 110 courier-pop3-ssl - ? postfix - 25 apache - 80 proftpd - 21 webmin - 1 distcc - 3632 ssh - 22 ntp - ? what port does it update itself? clamav - same as above NFS - ? might try sharing drives across internet, what port? squid - 8080 tor - ? does it need a port? privoxy - ? openldap - ? when i get this running does it use a port? distcc should *never* be allowed to listen to the open net. [Heck, I was worried about it because it would answer my roommate's win-box.] distcc does NOT check to make the the command-line it is executing is a compile, so you are basically given local access to the box as the distcc user for anyone that the daemon will listen to. I'm not *exactly* sure what webmin is for. I do expose a the web interface to my netgear router to the internet (via ssh only), but that's so I can turn on/off port forwarding to inside boxes as needed. Yes, that's dangerous and you should probably think twice about doing it. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The above SSL ports are probably alright, but don't open the non-ssl ports, 110 and 143. If you aren't going to use the SSL ports from the outside, then disable those too [I always tunnel via SSH rather than open them up]. postfix - 25 apache - 80 Good. proftpd - 21 Again, if you actually plan to use this from the outside, go ahead and open it, otherwise don't. Remember that passwords are most often passed in the clear with FTP. webmin - 1 DO NOT expose the webmin port. Period. distcc - 3632 Why? ssh - 22 Excellent idea. ntp - ? what port does it update itself? No good, do not expose this to the internet, period. clamav - same as above NFS - ? might try sharing drives across internet, what port? squid - 8080 tor - ? does it need a port? privoxy - ? openldap - ? when i get this running does it use a port? Do not expose any of these to the internet period. Why would you want any of these available outside your network? since im not to sure about iptables right now and dont fully understand it, ive been playing with webmin's shorewall 'plugin' and am going to try setting it up with that. it seems newbie friendly. It is still not newbie friendly. More importantly, if you don't know what you are setting up, it doesn't really matter which firewall you use. Perhaps you should consider reading up on firewalls, which essentially try to hide your services from the rest of the world, rather than make them secure outright. also, how do i know if a packet/port is TCP, UDP or IMCP? when i go to set this up i need to know that, is there a way to tell? im kinda new at this. first firewall...woo-hoo, never figured i needed one until now :-/ thanks for any and all help. Nick Essentially, IP traffic is ICMP, TCP or UDP. Most that you care about is TCP. ICMP is used for pings and traceroutes mostly [other stuff you aren't likely aware of like resets]. TCP is the most common traffic, used in about everything popular [http, ftp, telnet, ssh, nntp, etc]. UDP is used in broadcast type information such as some times of broadcast video or audio. To get an idea of the services and their types, take a look around in /etc/services. Tom Veldhouse -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The one problem with the way this works is that if your message never gets to the list and you never get a response you don't really know why. You have the outgoing copy. You think it was delivered. It wasn't. You cannot tell. One other strange aspect about Gmail is that most of the time, if I start a conversation, I do not see my email in my Inbox until I get a response from someone. The first message stays in the sent folder, and I can read it, but it doesn't show up in the Inbox until someone responds. I really don't like that the spelling checker doesn't learn my vocabulary.

[gentoo-user] Non network installation

I chrooted and now want to run: emerge gentoo-sources This gives errors: it cannot find the packages because it looks online emerge --usepkgonly gentoo-sources gives me an error: !!! there are no packages available to satisfy gentoo-sources !!! either add a suitable binary package or compile from an ebuild. emerge --usepkgonly /usr/portage/distfiles/gentoo-sources-2.4.26-r6.tar.bz2 gives me the error There are no ebuilds to satisfy usr//portage/distfiles/gentoo-sources-2.4.26-r6.tar.bz2 Obviously I missed something.

It looks like you're out-thinking yourself. :-) Remove the --usepkgonly and try it again. BUYER BEWARE: I've never done a stage 3, so if my advice is worthless... sorry. ;-) What you are thinking: I don't want to compile, I want to use a binary package only. What emerge is thinking: I wasn't going to compile anything, just put the kernel sources under /usr/src. So, this fella is telling me to only use binary packages, and there is no such thing... so I guess I can't install the sources. What will happen with 'emerge gentoo-sources' (instead of having the --usepkgonly switch): Emerge will unpack the current kernel sources to /usr/src and apply a bunch of patches that the Gentoo developers have selected (for performance enhancements and bug fixes). It will then set up a symlink /usr/src/linux that points to something link /usr/src/linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r6. It will not compile your kernel. If I understand correctly (and I might not), there isn't any way around compiling your own kernel. If you're unsure about this stuff, feel free to use the instructions for 'Alternative: Using genkernel'. Building a kernel isn't a big deal.

[gentoo-user] My alsa-driver woes
I've been doing manual emerge updates (a.k.a not cron) for awhile now
because emerge kept wanting to update alsa-driver to 1.0.8-r1 and the
compile kept failing. This morning I actually looked closely at the
beginning of the emerge of alsa-driver and noticed a message that said
${ALSA_CARD} NOT DEFINED; COMPILING ALL DRIVERS (or something like
that.) I remembered awhile back that someone on this list had a
similiar problem and that someone told them that the driver compile
would fail if the hardware the driver was for did not exist on the
system. I found the Gentoo Alsa Guide online and it said that I should
find out what my soundcard was and cross-reference it with the Alsa
Soundcard Matrix. I did that. I'm not sure I understood the
information the Matrix provided, but this is what I think it means:
baby root # lspci | grep 'audio'
:00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 04)
The Matrix (to the best of my understanding) said that I would use the
es1371 driver for my sound card.
I entered that in /etc/make.conf:
ALSA_CARDS=es1371
I ran emerge -u alsa-driver. Just before it fails, it says:
checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... configure: error:
Unknown soundcard es1371
Did I give the wrong driver? I think I got it right. Also mentioned in
the Alsa Soundcard Matrix were ens1371 and snd-es1371, but I modprobed
both of those and didn't find them. I successfully modprobed es1371...

According to make menuconfig, this module is (snd-)ens1371, not es1371.
Typo, thus?

baby root # lspci | grep 'audio'
:00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 04)
The Matrix (to the best of my understanding) said that I would use the
es1371 driver for my sound card.
I entered that in /etc/make.conf:
ALSA_CARDS=es1371
I ran emerge -u alsa-driver. Just before it fails, it says:
checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... configure: error:
Unknown soundcard es1371
Did I give the wrong driver? I think I got it right. Also mentioned in
the Alsa Soundcard Matrix were ens1371 and snd-es1371, but I modprobed
both of those and didn't find them. I successfully modprobed es1371...
According to make menuconfig, this module is (snd-)ens1371, not es1371.
Typo, thus?

From the help I read that this is for nfs not for cdrom mounting ? tia I don't think this is what you're looking for. In order to have automatic removable media mounting, you now have several choices: 1) patch the kernel to re-enable supermount, which is considered evil, thus why it was removed. However, the ck-sources still patches for supermount, and even if you don't want to use ck-sources, you can nick the patch from the homepage and use it anyway. This is what I do, as no matter how evil it is, supermount actually works reliably, and that is what is most important to me. 2) Use subfs (also a kernel option, iirc). It seems to start out working OK, then fails at some point during a session (cd disks become unreadable, possibly unejectable), and I usually have to log out and back in to clear whatever got all confused. Very annoying. 3) Use the user-space automounting functionality, dbus in combination with hal and ivman. Not particularly stable in my experience, but people have been working on these components and they may have improved. See the forums for a really long thread about ivman. 4) You may be able to use autofs (which may be the same as the kernel option you discussed, but I don't know), but I've not used it and I don't really know much about it.

Yes, I understand that, jut just because the module is called es1371, it
does not mean that the *card* is also called es1371-- in fact it
probably is not, given that alsa-driver does not recognize that as a
valid card, or valid card name, or something, during the compile.
So what I meant is that maybe your ALSA_CARDS setting should be for
ens1371, which might compile the snd-es1371 driver. It would be odd, but
it could happen.

[gentoo-user] Installing GENTOO from CD
I'm trying to install Gentoo from a UniversalCD using the instructions found at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2004.3/handbook-x86.xml?part=1chap=5 and I must say the instructions could use some editing. The instructions in section 5 for installing from the UniversalCD are so intertangled with those for downloading that it's very difficult to follow them. There are sections that are labelled for CD installation but they seem to bump into download instructions. I prefer to download and install packages after I have a basic Linux system installed.and working. I'm sure it would help others like me who aren't experts if the two methods were separated into two distinct sections that don't switch back and forth between the CD and download procedures. Are instructions available that describe how to do everything from CD without sliding into the download procedure?. alex -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] My alsa-driver woes II (my alsa-utils woes)
I emerge alsa-utils. At the end of the emerge it told me that I needed to manually configure /etc/modules.d/alsa. I opened it up in vim and looked at it.

I looked back at the Gentoo Alsa Guide (which I still had open) and I changed the snd-card-0 alias to ens1371: ## ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371 ## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371 ## OSS/Free portion ## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 ## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 ## I found it a little curious that snd-card-1 was already set to snd-ens1371, but since it was commented out I left it, exited and ran modules-update.

[gentoo-user] nvidia GLX extensions problem.
Hello, I have looked around quite a bit and I still cannot find an answer to my problem. Sorry to bother you with annoying GLX stuff. :) I have recently decided to attempt to setup my nvidia card properly... and I did run into quite an annoying problem. I followed the gentoo nvidia guide step by step, but I have ran into a problem I cannot find the answer anywhere. X11 works fine, but the colors and the resolution are all weird. I have seen similar problems on the web, but nothing that matches my case properly. If I run glxinfo, I get the following output: bash-2.05b# glxinfo name of display: :0.0 Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual visual x bf lv rg d st colorbuffer ax dp st accumbuffer ms cav id dep cl sp sz l ci b ro r g b a bf th cl r g b a ns b eat -- 0x21 8 pc 1 0 0 c . . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 None 0x22 8 gs 1 0 0 c . . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 None 0x23 8 sc 1 0 0 c . . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 None 0x24 8 tc 1 0 0 c . . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 None 0x25 8 dc 1 0 0 c . . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 None 0x26 8 sg 1 0 0 c . . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 None I guess that my problem comes from the RGB stuff, but I can't find any solution to this by looking it up on google.

Re: [gentoo-user] Installing GENTOO from CD
quoth the A1ex: I'm trying to install Gentoo from a UniversalCD using the instructions found at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2004.3/handbook-x86.xml?part=1chap=5 and I must say the instructions could use some editing. The instructions in section 5 for installing from the UniversalCD are so intertangled with those for downloading that it's very difficult to follow them. There are sections that are labelled for CD installation but they seem to bump into download instructions. I prefer to download and install packages after I have a basic Linux system installed.and working. I'm sure it would help others like me who aren't experts if the two methods were separated into two distinct sections that don't switch back and forth between the CD and download procedures. Are instructions available that describe how to do everything from CD without sliding into the download procedure?. alex Dude, how hard is it to skip section 5c?

[gentoo-user] CD boots to kernel panic

(I think; the text scrolls by pretty fast.) The MD5 sum checks, and I verified the CD after burning it with Nero. I've tested the LiveCD in another computer and it works perfectly, so it's got to be my hardware.

There are 4 use flags that concern me: oss alsa esd arts.

Then, any that support esd but not arts (have an esd use flag, but no arts use flag) compile support for esd and no others. Then, alsa and finally oss (although I'll have oss apps use arts through the compatability layer.) Is there a simple way to do this, or do I have to go through all my packages to set my use flags in package.use manually?

I want each app to only compile in support for one of these services. That way, the unneeded services do not extend my compile time or prouduce unnecessary run-time configuration options.

However, I'm hoping to save some compile time on upgrades. Also, it'll save some disk space since I'm not going to be using the various other output devices/plugins available. For example, xmms has 3 or more output plugins I'm not using, so does arts.

The situation is more like this This is absolutely incorrect. If you compile arts with esd support arts will allow you do chose Enlighted Sound Daemon as your output device resulting in arts using esd. I'm doing that *now*. While you can have both arts and esd use alsa directly, I believe there is less device contention if you have arts use esd. Are you sure that flash won't play sounds if esd is not running?

You instead postpone the load of a few factors until after program initialization. The one I really like is the gnome-settings backend, which sets fonts, DPI theme and so on, (and that I cheatingly use to set my background, rather than a configfile where I had bsetbg before) Why? Because I liked the gui. ;) The other thing that is nice about having the session managing the backend rather than the windowmanager, is that you can restart the WM without risking anything. ( good for openbox when you muck up the xml syntax. What? You've never done that? I hope you're kidding me, that is one of the ... ugh. :p ) gconf-d will run anyhow. you have the panel, panel needs its configuration. the vfs-daemon will run if its needed by an application, not started by the session. Other things might want the sm-proxy (if you launch other items from the session) but to avoid clobbering, I keep my session to a few defaults, and don't save it at exit. Hopefully a bit clearer on what the session manager actually does :) //Spider -- begin .signature Tortured users / Laughing in pain See Microsoft KB Article Q265230 for more information. end signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

If so, you could set your sshd config to allow only key logins, not password logins. I can do that. However, just on an unfortunate day when I need to access and forgot to carry my usb drive, I'll be out of luck.

Re: [gentoo-user] Sound system/daemon use flags.
On Sat, 12 Feb 2005 18:17:37 -0600, Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. I'm using www-netscape/netscape-flash 7.0.25. It only has one use flag available, gtk, which I have turned on. Initially I had sound, but none from flash and, IIRC, a forum post said that netscape-flash required esd to play sound; installing esd did cause flash to play sound. I'm using the latest ~x86 ebuild of firefox. The flash plugin tries to access the hardware oss device (/dev/pcm) directly. It does not support any sound daemons. Thus, if a sound daemon is already using the device, and you have a cheap soundcard, flash won't play sound. The way to fix this appears to be running firefox with a wrapper program that redirects oss to the sound daemon you prefer, like esddsp firefox -- Calvin Walton -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
