Re: [gentoo-user] Installing Oracle 9iR2
Hi, If I remember correctly, you'll have a hard time installing the database unless you can run the older version of Java: the NetCA that runs to create your database and setup your tnsnames.ora file requires JDK 1.1 and won't work on any newer version (it will complain about permissions or something). Unless you really have to stick with Gentoo, I would recommend going to an older version of some other distro (with a compatible libc), or upgrading to Database 10g. That being said I have managed to install DB 9i on Gentoo, but only after installing gcc 2.95, compiling an older glibc somewhere else without NPTL, and I still had to build my tnsnames.ora manually. Good luck! Chris PS: I'm doing an internship at Oracle, if that's any help. Frank Schafer wrote: Hi, did you check all the Oracle prerequisites?

Re: [gentoo-user] Weird dmesg message
Hi, From the last two lines: Out of Memory: Killed process 22297 (links). oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x1d2 This is saying the kernel's Out of Memory system has kicked in and killed a process to free up some memory (in this case 'links'). Basically, you've run out of free memory (RAM + SWAP) and it's nuked something to free up a little. I haven't personally seen this since I mistyped my swap mounts in /etc/fstab, so you might like to take a look at 'top' and/or /proc/meminfo to see that you actually have your swap mounted.

Re: [gentoo-user] Apache Mysql Backup System
Hi, If I'm not mistaken, this has been done and is in constant use on big sites like SourceForge and the like. I'm not sure of the details of the operation, but I seem to remember reading an overview about it on the site somewhere. They do, however, have lots of money to burn on load balancers. While there are free solutions to do this sort of thing, I don't know about them. I suggest reading up on the MySQL docs to find out how to set up the MySQL side of things. As for Apache, it might be harder without a dedicated piece of kit to decide which server to send packets to. If the only problem you're having is Apache / MySQL crashing, you chould have a look at monit, which does a great job of restarting services that fall over and can notify you of what's happening by email.

Re: [gentoo-user] hosting plan? [OT]
Hi, Well, I've been toying with the idea of getting a server colocated for a while, and the only way to make that pay off for myself would be to offer hosting for people. How many people on this list would be interested in joining such a scheme? The server would be colocated in the UK, and the specs would probably be as follows: - 1/2 GB RAM or more - RAID 1 or RAID 0+1 storage, depending on the size of the case and cost - Debian Sarge (sorry guys, I don't think Gentoo cuts it on a server!) - Apache 2 PHP 4.3 (other Apache / PHP modules as per request) - MySQL and/or PostgreSQL and/or Firebird, depending on demand - Virtual email hosting (i.e. different accounts on different domains, aliases, etc...) Any other requests welcome. I don't think I would set up a control panel, and I wouldn't want to host too many sites. This would be a highly personalised service, for those who have outgrown hosting at home / under some plan, but don't have the resources to go colo by themselves. And of course, this service wouldn't be available for quite some time, so I won't be signing anyone on or taking any money at the moment. How many takers? What sort of money would you pay?

Re: [gentoo-user] iptables: block full ip-range
Hi, I used the IP Address Converter section. I got the binary for the first IP (218.144.0.0), which is: 11011010 1001 Then for the second (218.159.255.255), which is 11011010 1001 Notice how the first 12 bits stay the same, and the last 12 change? 12 is the magic number in this case. :-) There should be an easier tool for this, but it does the trick.

[gentoo-user] nVidia GeForce4 MX 4000 - X doesn't work
Hi all, I just got a GeForce4 MX 4000 and I'm having trouble getting it working with Xorg 6.8.0-r4. Ideally I'd like to have it only connected to my TV, and not have a monitor or keyboard. When I start X using the 'nvidia' driver (nvidia-glx 1.0.6629-r1) my screen initialises correctly, and I get a mouse pointer appearing as well. I see a white line in the top left corner of the screen, going right about 200px. If I move the mouse up towards the line the mouse turns into resize / move pointers depending on where it is. All programs seem to load, I get no errors in .gnomerc-errors, and all processes seem to be running. If I connect using VNC (either the vnc extension or x0vncserver) I see exactly the same as on the screen. If I change the driver from 'nvidia' to 'vesa' everything works fine, except I obviously can't configure TV and it's slow. lspci -v output for my card: :01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000 AGP 8x] (rev c1) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 248, IRQ 201 Memory at dc00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Memory at d000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [44] AGP version 3.0 Every time I start X using the nvidia driver the kernel says: agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at :00:00.0. agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at :00:00.0 into 4x mode agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at :01:00.0 into 4x mode Of course, I've merged and loaded nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r1, and it seems to load fine.

Hi, If you're running Mac OS X Server on your G4 servers, you'd probably be best to use LDAP for authentication, if I'm not mistaken. I've set up LDAP authentication on Linux many a time, so if you need help feel free to contact me (or this list, of course!).

I doubt we'd have the resources to be able to pull a thin-client model off :P, but it's a valid suggestion. What I do on my network is have each machine setup with enough stuff to get it running and talking to the network and then bring in the /opt, /usr/local and /home stuff via NFS. You don't need /usr/portage for booting so why not import that as well? Its a lot easier than dowloading via ftp. How do you adjust for patching? I.e., openoffice-1.1.3 vs 1.1.4 would probably change all of the symlinks in, say, the links on user's desktops to the programs - or any other folder accessed by libraries and the ilk. How do you go about updating, say, X (i.e. changes in /etc/ and so on)? However, we don't have enough x86 hardware to justify a central server like that - although I can see it pretty much eliminating a lot of complications. Cool stuff you've got there. Secondly use NIS for central administration of users and groups. Both of these can be administered quite nicely using webmin. A quick google brought me up what I think you were talking about. And it seems to be the fixin' of our integration woes - we run about 80 or so iMacs running OS 9.2 controlled centraly via an OS 10.3 dual G4 server. In a perfect world, you'd have people login directly to that machine but in the lack of that ability (apparently one can only share a directly either over NFS (as far as we can tell incompatible with our current system for the iMacs) or AppleTalk, meaning we need to do a little man page looking before being able to pull it off), sharing the same user accounts and passwords sounds just about right. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
Re: [gentoo-user] Cron Jobs.
Hi, Best way is to run 'crontab -e' as the user you want to set the crontab up for. You'll need to add that user to the 'cron' group in /etc/groups before it allow you to do it, unless you do it as root. Then, the line you want is probably: 10 */3 * * * wget -q -O /usr/share/xplanet/images/clouds_2000.jpg http://www.wizabit.eclipse.co.uk/xplanet/files/local/clouds_2000.jpg First field is 10 minutes past each our, next one is a trick for every 3 hours, you can do this with all other fields. For example, instead of doing 0,10,20,30,40,50 you can just do */10 in the minutes field. The next 3 are day of month, month, and day of week, but you already knew that. as for wget: almost right. Your command will have downloaded the image in the current working directory, probably /root if you put it in /etc/crontab. You need the -O to tell wget to put it elsewhere. To pipe to stdout, use '-', but since you're just putting it in a file you can put the file's path right in there.

Oh yes, missed a -O as well.

If you put it in /etc/crontab you may need to restart your cron daemon. For vixie-cron (the default) you would do that using '/etc/init.d/vixie-cron restart'. Am I starting the cron daemon correct with crontab /etc/crontab ? To start the cron daemon itself you just use '/etc/init.d/vixie-cron start'. This should be started at boot for you, it's required for lots of regular maintenance work! To make sure it is, run 'rc-update add vixie-cron default'. The crontab command is used only for editing cron tabs. Running 'crontab /etc/crontab' would fill your own crontab with the contents of /etc/crontab, probably not what you want.

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] ipv6 addresses in browser bar
Hi, If memory serves, you need to wrap the IPv6 address in square brackets: [ ] For example, mirror.switch.ch would be: http://[2001:620:0:8:203:baff:fe52:38e5]/ But I haven't done this for a long time, and don't have IPv6 set up on my newer machines HTH, Chris Etaoin Shrdlu wrote: I want to connect to a test web server in my subnet, running ipv6. How do I write an ipv6 address in the address bar of, say, konqueror or firefox? Using the classical notation doesn't work (error: malformed url).

[gentoo-user] Hauppauge WinTV GO 2 (34705) - snowy picture and no sound
Hi all, I'm having a strange problem getting my TV card working... I've compiled kernel 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 (will upgrade to r5 this evening to check too) with the cx8800 modules for my TV card, and it seems to be recognised without any trouble at all. The tuner is detected correctly, the TV standard set correctly, and everything. I've tried tuning the card in tvtime and I manage to get a picture, but it's very snowy, black and white, and I get white noise instead of the channel audio. I've got the 'Norm' set to 'PAL' in tvtime and the aerial signal is pretty good. I've even tried connecting a PlayStation's RF adapter right into the video card and when I tune that I get a similar effect, except I get a hint of colour in the picture. I would have tried with xawtv as well, but I can't get it to compile with gcc-3.4, but since that was updated this morning I might give it another shot. I'm living in the UK so the TV standard is PAL-I. Below is what the kernel logs when I load the module: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 cx2388x v4l2 driver version 0.0.4 loaded ACPI: PCI interrupt :00:0a.0[A] - GSI 17 (level, low) - IRQ 209 cx88[0]: subsystem: 0070:3401, board: Hauppauge WinTV 34xxx models [card=1,autodetected] tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 34705, rev = E111, serial# = 6197781 tveeprom: tuner = Philips FI1246 MK2 (idx = 11, type = 1) tveeprom: tuner fmt = PAL(I) (eeprom = 0x10, v4l2 = 0x0010) tveeprom: audio_processor = MSP3425 (type = 15) cx88[0]: registered IR remote control cx88[0]/0: found at :00:0a.0, rev: 3, irq: 209, latency: 32, mmio: 0xec00 tuner: chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus cx88[0] tuner: type set to 1 (Philips PAL_I (FI1246 and compatibles)) by cx88[0] cx88[0]/0: registered device video0 [v4l2] cx88[0]/0: registered device vbi0 cx88[0]/0: registered device radio0 cx88[0]/0: set_audio_standard_BTSC (status: known-good) cx88[0]/0: cx88: tvaudio thread started cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0xffe2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x72 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0xb2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0xf2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x32 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO I've also tried with and without the v4l patches at http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.10-2/All-2.6.10.diff.gz.

[gentoo-user] Which Video Card for TV Out?
Hi all, I need to connect my computer, running Gentoo of course, to my TV. I'd like to get everyone's opinion as to what graphics card I should use to get decent TV output. I live in the UK, so the card must be capable of doing PAL. Another **requirement** is that I can start X **without a monitor attached**, i.e. just the TV. I have a Radeon 7000/VE that, after lots and lots of hacking, shows a lovely picture on the TV but X refuses to start up without a monitor attached. The S3 ProSavage8 built-in to my motherboard works, but doesn't play nice with the system, eats my RAM, and doesn't use the whole of the TV screen (I get big black borders around the edge). I'm considering getting a nVidia GeForce MX4000 as people seem to be having more luck with these, but I'm not sure about the monitor requirement. And does it work on an AGP 4X bus? Can anybody comment at all? Maybe you guys have an idea how to force X to start without a monitor? Many thanks, Chris smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Good point, but I already had the ATI kicking around... :-P I bought a GForceMX 4000 64M (33 US dollars on newegg). It works great, and I also have no monitor attached. (I just have two xorg.conf files in the event I should need to connect a monitor for some reason, but the main one just usues the tv-out). I am not 100% on this, but the PAL standard only matters to the capture card I believe, not the output card. That's all I wanted to hear! Great stuff! PAL wouldn't matter except that the TV I have doesn't do NTSC very well (grainy and BW), so PAL is really my only option. Maybe when I shell out on a new TV it won't matter! ;-) But I'd rather just upgrade my computer.

The funny thing is I'm calling euse as root and the files /etc/make.profile/../use.desc doesn't exist (make.profile is a symlink in /etc and /etc/use.desc doesn't exist) No, no, no... do you see those /.../ in the path? That's because the path is really long, and variable, and not so suitable to type out in it's entirety. use.desc and use.local/desc are in the folder that /etc/make.profile are symlinked to, which is /usr/portage/profiles/your_profile_version . So that's where you want to check for the permissions. Actually, use.desc and use.local.desc are only stored in /usr/portage/profiles. So, I'd look for permissions in there, but something tells me that EUSE is just being foolish. I assume your make.profile is a modern style symlink to something in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/ If you had an old-style link this would work, but with the new deeper directories this won't work.
