Hi all,

is it possible to configure evoultion to recognize other prefixes then

evolution does create a new thread then in threaded-view :(

Any ideas?

[gentoo-user] OT: howto enable ALSA sound?

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi all,

I have been running OSS since years, but now I want to try ALSA, because I
want to use my microphone for skype.

So I followed the Gentoo ALSA guide, but unfortunately w/o success Sad
First, I looked for my sound card. It's a SB Live!, so I added

ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1"

to my /etc/make.conf file. Then I merged alsa-driver, alsa-oss and 
alsa-utils. Then, I added these lines to my /etc/modules.d/alsa file:

alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

and run update-modules afterwards. But now I get this error:

 * Loading ALSA modules...
 *   Loading: snd-card-0...
 * ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers
 * Restoring Mixer Levels...
 * No mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card!

Where do I have to look for the problem? I compiled sound support into my
kernel and activated emu10k1 as module (but I tried without that as well).

Maybe you guys have any ideas?

I want to make a backup copy of my DVDs, but since they are copy protected 
I can't just copy them via k3b. I thougt I could rip it with dvd:rip and

Isn't there a CloneDVD-like tool for Linux, which I can use to make backup

But do you think that all 3 of them are bad? Since I run a raid and do the 
filesystem check over this whole array, I wonder *which* disk could be the 
source of the problem.

Since they are brand new drives I would think it's Linux software raid's 
fault, or ext3.

Could you please explain "bit more robust" to me? Why is ext3 so bad? I use 
it since years now and never ever had any problems with it. Isn't it good 
for such software raid implementations like my setup? If so, then why?

[gentoo-user] many ext3 filesystem errors on SW raid5

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi all,

I have a backup system with 3 brand new IDE disks (200gb each), and a linux 
based software raid5 over them. I am storing data of some servers on 
this /dev/md0 (ext3 on it), including thousands of little files from a 
mailserver, some webs, and some data of windows based servers.

I am running the backups every night, but afterwards when I unmount the 
raid array and make a fsck.ext3 over it, every time I get errors (bad 
blocks here, some inode errors there and so on). Next night I can use the 
array quite fine, but on the day after that I get some filesystem errors 
again.

Now I do not really know where to search for the problem. Is it Linux's 
software raid5 implementation, which is buggy? Is it one or more of the 
IDE disks? Or is this normal for large (~400gb) ext3 partitions?

Where do I get infos about this? Do you guys have some experiences to 
share? Hope you can help me, I am somewhat lost here :(

I need to build a backup server with at least 3x200gb SATA disks on a

them...

Re: [gentoo-user] When portage doesn't know about the latest release of a package...

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

-- quoting Kevin --
> Ok.  Misconception #1 cleared up.  Thanks again for the replies.

One thing: Often it's possbile to just copy one ebuild 
(under /usr/portage/) for example called "test-1.2.3.ebuild" to 
"test-1.2.4.ebuild" and emerge this new ebuild. That's not allways valid 
and could fail (cause of special patches for this very version for 
example), but most of the time I got the new version this way, cause there 
where no big changes in minor release upgrades and the download source is 
still the same...

Maybe another point as well: You could look if there is a masked version of 
the ebuild you are looking for. Often the maintainer of this ebuild does 
think that this version is not stable enough, so you could try with

$ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~" emerge  -p"

(replace  with your processor architecture (probably "x86"))

Look into your init scripts ... there is a function called "depend()" in

[gentoo-user] SpamAssassin not as good as before :(

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi all SpamAssassin users!

I am using SA since some months now and never had to look back. It filtered 
around 98-99% of all spam mails out. But since one or two months, I would 
say the false negative rate is around 30%, but I do not have any idea why 
this could be.

On another SA installation with serveral virtual email domains I have 
exactly the same problem ... but here again, problem exists since one or 
two months.

Did so many spammers changed their spam technics? What could be done (if 
possible only with SA's help) to reach my hit rate of 99% again? An update 
to SA version 2.60 did not change anything :(

Thanks for any suggestions!

[gentoo-user] qmail-pop3d and replacement for @-symbol?

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi all,

I have a strange problem w/ my qmail server and a mac user. I run qmail's 
own pop3d for mail distribution, and everything works like a charm. Only 
one user has a problem retrieving his mail: He works on a mac and can't 
use his full email address for authentication (which is needed, because I 
host several virtual domains with vmailmgr, so username for pop3d is 
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"), because he can't use the @-sign.

Some time ago, I heard something about configuring pop3d to accept other 
signs than '@', IIRC it was ';' ("user;domain.com").

Does anybody know more? Would really be glad if I could solve this issue...

since my upgrade from SA version 2.55 to 2.60-r1 I cannot sa-learn anymore.

[gentoo-user] terragen on linux?

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi all,

there are still some moments when I miss my old dual-boot setup (win2k 
kicked after a virus). This time, I restarted my attempt to bring terragen 
to life under Linux, unfortunately with no luck so far.

I tried with wine, but it seems this is an unlucky plan. I don't want to 
use VMWare because of performance issues.

Does anybody has an idea what I could do to run terragen natively under 
Linux? I can't imagine that there is no alternative to it for the Linux 
world. I only know of terraform+povray, but this combinations is - sorry - 
a joke if you compare the results (you can create pics with terragen, 
which indeed look like real photographs, terraform has no chance to beat 
that).

Hope somebody has an idea for me...

Yeah, I know what you mean ... I loved this game too, but always had my

I wonder, wouldn't it be possible to play it on a dos emulator for Linux? 
Never tried it though, but it may be possbile. Or does anybody knows how 
to play it? Would be interested in that as well...

[gentoo-user] searching for website manager

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi all,

I am searching for a website manager with the following features:

*) GPL-based
*) Perl, PHP, ... everything would be ok
*) support for more than one user / website
*) support for uploading one or more files / directories
*) support for changing file mode (like "chmod" command)
*) password protected access
*) output of all files / directories on this virtual host

In other words: I need a site manager, which my useres could use like a 
normal FTP client, but via their web browser.

Does anyone know of such a tool?

That should do it. If not, you can go to /etc/runleveles/default and remove 
the syslog-ng, metalog and msyslog softlinks to /etc/init.d/ init 
scripts, which should do as well.

And, of course, you can safely unmerge unneeded system loggers.

[gentoo-user] SMTP proxy for spam filtering

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi all,

I have the following configuration:

Internet --> Linux firewall --> DNAT (25) --> MS Exchange server

In words: All mails arriving on this domain are port forwarded via a Linux 
iptables firewall to an Exchange server. Now I want to insert SpamAssassin 
to this queue and thought of some kind of a SMTP mail proxy.

I don't want to install a full mailserver, only a little tool which I can 
use on the firewall to:

1.) receive the mail
2.) queue it through SpamAssassin
3.) forward filtered mail to the Exchange server

nothing more. Do you know of such a tool? And if not and if I have to use a 
full mailserver, which one should I use for that? Please remember, I 
really want an easy setup here...

That's one of the few things I don't like in the Linux world, every distro 
puts it's config stuff into different files, network configuration is a 
good example.

Sure, someone could say: "and, why not?"
Agreed, but I think it would be great if all (I know, _all_ is impossible) 
distros would put at least some basic config into same files under same 
location.

I would say I know how to handle Linux for most of the time, but when I 
have to work on a machine with an "other" distro, I have to spend time to 
search for some config files, that's odd :(

[gentoo-user] which type of access to a webserver?

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi all,

I have a question to all of you: What do you think, which would be the 
"best", ie. "most secure" access to a webserver, so that users can update 
their sites?

To be more specific: I can't allow ssh login for most of this users for 
several reasons, that's why I set /bin/false as login shell for them. Ok, 
so no ssh, no ftp (sidenote: I hate [S]FTP[S] for several reasons, ee. 
firewall issues and so forth).

Ok, next: Samba. Can't use that, because many ISPs block needed ports, same 
goes for NFS.

What other options do I have? I need read/write access for those users, but 
chroot'ed to their home directory as a must! And connections have to be 
encrypted.

Do you have some ideas for me?
Greetings and TIA, Matthias
