[gentoo-user] Forcing fsync()
Hi,
I am aware this isn't a programming mailing list, but since I've got
such wonderful responses from users in this ML, I thought I'd go ahead
with my post.
My problem is that I haven't figured out how I must fsync an output
stream (in C++) even after reading the contents of this link:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2004-02/msg00285.html
How must I modify this method (this method doesn't work; it prints the
error message and exits!) ?
void logRecovery::syncToDisk(fstream& f)
{
unix_filebuf_t* buf;
buf = dynamic_cast(f.rdbuf());
if (buf == NULL) {
cerr << "Fatal: Don't know fd of stream" << endl;
exit(-1);
}
fsync(buf->fd());
}
I am using GCC 3.3.4.
Thanks,
Hareesh

Re: [gentoo-user] linux-2.6.11 is out
This will probably stir up some flames, but: the package.keywords system sucks 1. you put things in there and you forget about them 2. extra work for no user gain over the old system (I know the old system is broke, but from what I agther it was broken on purpose to create the package.keyword system.) 3. more complex than the simple system it replaced - it is now quite hard to work out the interactions sometimes 4. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS seems to work well for a half doz or so ~x86 packages I will probably have to use them next time I rebuild world with a -e, but after stuffing things up over a couple of months with the package.keywords and related files, wasting time trying find whats gone wrong, I am better off doing the ACCEPT keywords kludge and getting on with actually using the system. At least when you do an update, you SEE what is ~x86, not have it hidden away in the depths building up problems.

Re: [gentoo-user] Sound Won't Work
Sorry if this sounds too stupid, too simple, or too "man, what does he think I am, stupid?", but, have you unmuted your mixers? The reason I ask is this: yesterday, I went through about an hour and a half trying to figure out why my new motherboard's new onboard sound didn't work, even though it was properly supported. The problem? The mixer "VIA DXS" was muted. Sure, it doesn't make much sense to me, since that's a weird name, but there weren't much more items than that... Like 8 more items. Okay, joking aside, it looks like ARTS can't access the sound hardware. Before you attempt using a sound server or KDE, see if you can make sound come out. Log out completely, stop everything, get to a root prompt (Ctrl-Alt-F1, login, at least on my system). Type "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp" and see what happens. If you hear sound, it's an ARTS problem. If you don't hear sound: 1) Did you compile in support for ALSA and OSS? You can only do one or the other safely (ALSA + OSS compatibility layer is fine, but don't enable Advanced Linux Sound Architecture and Open Sound System at the same time). 2) Try compiling your soundcard as a module (and while you're at it, compile all the others -- press "m" on each card listed in menuconfig -- could save time later, like at an upgrade). Don't forget to add it to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and modules-update! 3) See if there's any ALSA-specific information for your card If it's an ARTS problem, it's probably not configured properly. I got a similar error when I told ARTS to use ALSA. Since I only run KDE apps within GNOME (don't take it personally, I just don't like KDE -_-), it needed to be set to use ESD (Enlightened Sound Daemon -- the sound server for GNOME basically). HTH.

[gentoo-user] gconf-editor: acme: "use_pcm" doesn't work
following up my "investigation" into getting that-part-of-gnome-that-used-to-be-done-by-acme which makes your volume keys adjust the pcm mixer, instead of the master, I found: gconf-editor / apps acme use_pcm (bool) I noticed it was already 'on', so I had a few goes of toggling it, logging out/in, and then trying it out with my volume keys. But no matter what I could do, it always adjusts the master volume. To make sure this path in gconf isn't just left over from some time in the past, I disabled the volume keys in gnome-keybinding-properties, and checked gconf-editor again... Well it looks like I was on a wild goose chase - the values stay the same in gconf-editor, so obviously I'm looking at something leftover from acme-days.

I'm assuming you're talking about Macintosh HFS/HFS+. I've read/written slices on PPC, and used it to read a firewire drive on Intel. You're going to have a heck of a time getting it to work, if it'd work at all. 1. You'll need an installer kernel that supports it natively, or you'll have to install to another kind of FS, rebuild your kernel, then copy the data over. 2. The kernel will need to reside on a /boot partition that is something grub can read. Grub can do EXT2/3, Reiser3, JFS, XFS, and FFS (maybe vfat, too?). 3. The HFS+ code has only been stable for a short time, so I'm not sure how much I trust it for full-time usage. I'd say just go with JFS. It's fast, reliable, and is a good all-around performer. XFS is also very reliable, but you incur some overhead with it. XFS is, however, very good if you're going to be working with large files often. ReiserFS has bitten me twice (no, it wasn't hardware-related...both drives where the FS failed still work flawlessly with other FSes on them), so I don't use it at all anymore. -- S.

Some more data. Maybe it's because I'm tricking up my system to run 80x48 textmode consoles with 10-pixel-high font, but my system does *NOT* react well to screen. Once I've used screen, it seems to reset the terminal type to behave like vt100 in *ALL* tty's. vim and mc deal properly with arrow keys under screen. This screws up programs that are *NOT* running under screen, because they still see "TERM=linux" in the environment. I tried "export TERM=vt100" and it fixed vim's behaviour re; arrow keys outside of screen. What I absolutely hate about "faithfull vt emulation" is that the f'ing numeric keypad becomes all function keys, and you *MUST* use the main keyboard for numbers and /*+- and . Logging out and logging back in does *NOT* seem to cure this reset to vt100 mode for non-screen consoles. I had to reboot to get vim and mc to work properly in non-screen consoles with "TERM=linux". Needless to say, I will *NOT* be experimenting with screen. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, and has a lower TCO, than linux. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] emerge sync: failed cache update errors
Hi all, I'm seeing a lot of these while performing emerge sync: Failed cache update: media-plugins/libdc1394-1.0.0 "Corruption detected when reading key 'libdc1394-1.0.0': Key count mismatch" What are the causes?

Where the mail is stored will very much depend on where it is coming from and what mta/lda is delivering it, or more particularly how the mta/lda is configured. the "standard" for unix mail is to deliver to an mbox file of the user's name in /var/spool/mail, so all of root's mail would be in a file named /var/spool/mail/root, in mbox format. I see on my gentoo server that /var/mail is a symlink to /var/spool/mail, so we are both right :-) However unix systems are very configurable, and if you are using a particular imap or pop server such as courier or cyrus you will not want mail set up that way. in that case, courier wants to serve up maildir format files, and you would set up your mta/lda to deliver to something like ~/.maildir/ (but configurable to be anywhere sensible) Cyrus has its own mail format which its "deliver" binary takes care of, the mta/lda delivers to the "deliver" binary, which puts the mail in somewhere like /var/spool/imap/user/$USERNAME/ (again configurable) so "where is my mail" depends on how your system is set up. So far those are only examples. But the best advice so far in this thread is to alias root's mail to the user who will be reading it. -- Nick Rout -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Despite the availability of more secure authentication methods for reading mail, it is common for (pop3 especially) mail clients to send the username and password in the clear. If you're trying to read your root mail on a machine across the network, that exposes your root password. Also, if someone wanted to try to brute-force discover the root password on your machine, attacking the pop3 server is one possible place to try. Because of that, some mailservers will NOT deliver mail to root, or allow root to authenticate and check mail, even if you wanted to. Also note, if you haven't installed an actual mailserver, cron and everything else will not have any way to send mail anywhere. The "ssmtp" package sets up a simplistic mail relay that'll allow local apps to send mail to localhost and ssmtp just forwards it to a real mail server somewhere else. But you'll need to tell even it where to send your "root" emails. -- Scott Taylor - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BOFH Excuse #390: Increased sunspot activity. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The warnings are all of the type empty or or elements not being closed (but shouldn't really matter with proper scopes). Some others are reminents of /code, or tags missing suggested fields (for example, "summary" for , I personally never used that...). As I said, any competant engine should be able to render the HTML (it works just fine in lynx and links (and it actually renders BETTER in links than in firefox for that matter)), which I take as meaning further evidence that the html is VALID. Note that VALID doesn't mean IDEAL. The w3c validator AFAIK makes noise as long as you don't follow their suggested practices (why should I put an ALT tag for an image if there is a caption clearly labeling the picture as such?). Of course, it is best to conform to the standard as much as possible, but slight and minor deviations like in the case of slashdot does not harm its validity. (Actually, the w3c validator also screams at news.com.com.com.com.com, and it renders just fine on most any browser I use). (going on a tangent here: the HTML validator really isn't the best tool here. For example, if you had bothered reading your 115 errors, you'd have realized that the vast majority is due to the & characters used in URLs, that cuts it down to around 50. And if you ignore the one's due to w3c's deprecation of certain older attributes, and the ones generated from the use of inline style sheets (which unfortunately, HTML 3.02 does NOT support officially, but 4+ do), and the ones generated from silly comments like "%" is not allowed in "width" or "#" is not a "literal character", you are down to 20 or so. Now some of them are just weird: what the heck is anyway? But the rendering engines are supposed to ignore tags that they don't know about anyway (think lynx). The rest are issues with scopes: what tags are allowed to go inside of what else, which hardly anyone follows to the letter, and shouldn't affect rendering... In fact, none of the errors the validator produces has anything to do with BAD HTML code*, nor anything to do with why /. does not render properly in firefox 5 out of 6 tries. If you are a web designer, you are much better off using HTMLtidy to check your source to make sure it is sane and parseable...) However, just because the code is valid doesn't mean that it would look nice, or that it would render properly (as in, "the way we like it") on all agents. It's just like coding in any other language: you can write something syntactically correct that doesn't do jack when it comes to solving the problem it is supposed to solve. In this case /. chose an extremely bad design and very incompatible with Firefox, but in a sense "it rendered like the code told firefox to render it"... What I am trying to say here is not to disagree with the fact that /. is broken, but that it is broken not because of Invalid HTML, but because of a bad design philosophy. It renders. But often it renders poorly. And thus should not be something to test your browsers with. Sorry to make such a big rant on the pedantics of code validity, and of course, nothing personal, but I really want to make a point distinguishing VALID code and PROPER code.

Yes, I have DEVICE and ARRAY lines in mdadm.conf - see the grep commands at the end of my previous post. I have managed to get something working but its not quite right. I had an existing disk with a Gentoo install image on it and an empty one. So I made a RAID array out of partitions on the empty disk (only one partition per RAID device). I then mounted and copied files across from the install disk into the RAID devices - this worked fine. Now what I want to do is add the partitions on the install disk to the arrays Ive created so that there are two partitions per RAID device. So I ran fdisk on the install disk, marked the partitions as Linux RAID auto and then tried to add them to the array. Right now, I can assemble the array but the added disk is marked as a spare instead of a mirror: livecd dev # mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 1 drive and 1 spare. livecd dev # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [raid6] [raid10] md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1] 56128 blocks [1/1] [U] unused devices: I tried stopping the device and editing my mdadm.conf to reflect the changes I made (see grep lines in previous post) but this doesn't work. I think I need to do an additional step to get this working?

Re: [gentoo-user] linux-2.6.11 is out
Well this is the first time that nvidia-kernel can't compile with vanilla kernel downloaded from kernel.org. There must be something that can be done ? New version of nvidia-kernel maybe ?

Since they really point to the same packages, if one is already using development-sources and linux26-headers, it's possible to have them with the new names, using an appropriate /etc/portage/package.unmask file. That's what I did (sort of mini-howto, "Works For Me" (tm), FWIW): - I had development-sources-2.6.11_rc5 and linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r2 - emerge -C development-sources - emerge -C linux26-headers - echo "sys-kernel/vanilla-sources ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords - echo "sys-kernel/linux-headers ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords (just changed the old development-sources and linux26-headers entries) - echo "sys-kernel/vanilla-sources" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask - echo "<=sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask (the latter I did since I don't want linux-headers-2.6.10 yet) - emerge linux-headers (brings in linux headers 2.6.8.1-r2) - emerge vanilla-sources (brings in linux-2.6.11_rc5) and I have the same setup as before, but with the new names. -- If you give someone a program, you will frustrate them for a day; if you teach them how to program, you will frustrate them for a lifetime. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] OT - Need sendmail help
I think I've gotten my DNS issues mostly sorted out. Now I'm having a problem with sendmail on the server box. It won't let me send email to outside the domain. It won't even let me send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It seems to think that espersunited.com is an outside domain. I searched on Google, but didn't find anything. I read through the README.cf in the sendmail docs directory, but it made no sense to me. I remember that I had the problem with relaying mail to external domains with Fedora Core 1, but I don't remember how I solved it. Can anyone help me out with this? = __ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo! Netrospective: 100 Moments of the Web http://birthday.yahoo.com/netrospective/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] linux-2.6.11 is out
no differences for the moment, probably when 2.7 will be out vanilla will follow the 2.6 series, development the 2.7 one as Neil pointed out >=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6 is masked so what I've said before is *not* true. You may want to use development-sources untill 2.6 will be unmasked. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
