Re: [gentoo-user] `su -`taking ~15 seconds after password?

2004-01-24 Thread Mike Arrison
Run 'top' in one console while su'ing in another.  See if anything major
is taking cycles.

 Hi
 
 Recently I have noticed that when switching to the root account from a
 standard user account, it takes around 15 seconds to provide me with a
 root prompt after entering the password. This applies to gnome-terminal,
 xterm and on the console. However, su'ing between user accounts is
 instantaneous.
 
 I've checked the obvious ~root/.bash_profile and ~root/.bashrc for any
 scripts that could be causing the delay. This however is all as
 standard.
 
 Any ideas on what would cause this? I'm guessing it's PAM related.

 Hi,
 I've been using Linux systems for about 7 years now but I'm very new to gentoo 
 so be gentle with me please.
 I'm trying to emerge linhone. When I put 'emerge -p linphone' it shows the 
 newest version as 0.10.2 but I have an ebuild for 0.12.1 in my portage tree.
 What gives ?
 how do I tell my system to emerge linphone-0.12.1 ?
The ebuilds for linphone-0.12.0 and .1 are masked.  This means that they
are not yet considered stable in the portage tree.  You can force
portage to upgrade to one of these versions by telling it that you're
willing to accept unstable packages, like this:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -p linphone

 Also, if I want to install some software which isn't in the portage tree, how 
 to I build the software so that it can be unmerged at a latter date ? - with 
 debian/redhat I'd use checkinstall for this.
If you want to use other software, you can do it the old fashioned way
(./configure, make, make install) or you could write your own ebuild for
it.  If you write an ebuild then you'll be able to merge and unmerge at
will.  Otherwise, you're on your own for uninstalling.

[gentoo-user] huge (wrong) list in emerge -upvD world

2004-01-10 Thread Mike Arrison
Recently, my emerge world has been getting really out of hand.  A week
or two ago it wanted to install apache2 for no particular reason.  Now,
among other things, it wants apache2, postgresql, php, metacity, and
development-sources.  None of these are in /var/cache/edb/world or
virtuals.

Below is the output of emerge -upvD world.  I frankly don't want any
of the packages marked as 'N' (new).  I've tried a regenworld to no
avail.  Where else should I be looking for these packages?

There is no reason you can't do it.  In fact I do it with a bunch of

laptops.  I used to tell my laptop to mount /usr/portage, but when I'm

/usr/lib/portage/bin/dolib: libz.so.1.1.4 does not exist

I could be wrong, but it would seem to me, that by adding the lock

Re: [gentoo-user] Root user password problems

Paulo,
I had this problem too.  It came from not being careful enough with
the etc-update procedure after upgrading dhcp.  I believe that one
of the versions of dhcp overwrites the /etc/passwd and|or /etc/group
files.  This is _very_ bad.  Either, your root user got blown away,
or, more likely, you got kicked out of the wheel group in the
/etc/group file.  If you have a backup of /etc/group and /etc/passwd
I'd recommend finding the effected lines.

 Hi all,

 I have Gentoo Linux installed in my PC and today I did as usually su -
 root to change to root. I entered the password for root, and emerged
 dhcp. After that I exited root and since then I was enable to enter as
 root. It's just not accepting my password, which is extremely odd. I've
 tried a hundred times already and I know the correct password, I'm
 surely not wrong and caps lock is just ok.

 Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

 How do I get my Mozilla 1.4b browser to appear as IE6 on Windows XP when
 I visit sites?  Long story short is I'm trying out a language site and
 have the plug-in I need, but I think the Moz browser is throwing it off.
The usual technique for this is to change the User-Agent string that
the browser sends the server.  Unfortunately, I'm not so sure Mozilla
has this capability built in.  I know Konqueror will nicely emulate
other browsers though.  Maybe someone has found the mozilla option that
I'm missing though.

If you're talking about the tarballs themselves, just do a:
ls -lSr /usr/portage/distfiles
