Try a kill -9.  The normal kill tries to play nice, but it doesn't

might need to reboot.  For example when I have an nfs mount go sour or a

of it. At that point, I just reboot... maybe there's a better way,

[gentoo-user] decent browser?

2003-07-21 Thread Shane Hickey
Howdy all, I was having problems with Galeon and dependencies on mozilla
 1.4 and portage wanting to upgrade me to mozilla 1.4.  So, I got off
the merry-go-round and emerge'd galeon-cvs from breakmygentoo.net.  Ugh.

If this is the future of galeon, then I need to find a new browser. 
After having to run gconf-editor to get my middle-mouse button paste
functionality back, I surfed around to get a feel for the new Galeon.  I
don't know if it's just me, but it's slow as all get out.

I had Mozilla up in another window and it would load the same page 5-7
seconds (yes, I said seconds) faster than Galeon.

So, I was wondering if people could recommend some good browsers.  I'm
running fluxbox, so I don't need anything fancy.  The only reason I was
running Galeon was because I really, really dig the tabs and the google,
freshmeat and dictionary quickstart links (whatever the heck you call
those).  

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

[gentoo-user] galeon need mozilla-1.3-r2?

2003-07-18 Thread Shane Hickey
Howdy all,
Ever since mozilla-1.4 came out, I've been having problems trying to
emerge -vuUD world.  It seemed that galeon only wanted to play with
mozilla 1.3.  I thought it was perhaps a problem with the 1.2.10a
version of galeon (Which doesn't do gtk2).  So, I removed the galeon
mask from packages.mask and I unmerged both mozilla and galeon.
Now, starting from a somewhat clean slate, I get this when I try to do
an emerge -vp galeon

[ebuild  N   ] net-www/mozilla-1.3-r2  +java +crypt -ipv6 +gtk2 +ssl
+ldap -gnome -mozsvg -mozcalendar -mozaccess -mozinterfaceinfo -mozp3p
-mozxmlterm -moznoirc -moznomail -moznocompose -moznoxft
[ebuild  N   ] net-www/galeon-1.3.4

Hmm... still galeon just wants mozilla 1.3.  So, I'm still going to have
my emerge world want to take me to 1.4 and then it's going to want to go
back to 1.3 for galeon.  Am I overlooking something obvious?  What's the
fix here?

[gentoo-user] apache2 and mailman

2003-07-14 Thread Shane Hickey
Well, I decided to go for it and migrate to apache2.  Things are, for
the most part, looking good.  I didn't read closely enough about
mod_perl, though, so I just decided to do without it for now.  I was
only using it to speedup MRTG anyway.

But, I can't seem to get mailman to work.  Has anyone had any luck in
this regard?  I copied the config lines from
/etc/apache/conf/addon-modules/mailman.conf to my
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf and restarted apache2.  Now I can view my
admin CGIs by doing www.sitename.com/mailman/admin/listname.  But,
mailman says that my list doesn't exist.  When I su to the mailman user
and do a './bin/list_lists' it shows that they are still there.  

What am I missing?

 It is better to build mailman yourself in /usr/local (or

I agree that it isn't hard to do, but I figured it might help the devs

[gentoo-user] /etc/portage/package.unmask?

2003-07-02 Thread Shane Hickey
Can anyone fill me in on this file.  I emerge'd fluxbox-0.9.3 and I want
it to get ignored when I 'emerge -vu --deep world'.

I see in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask there is a line:

# new fluxbox dev series. no guarentees.
=x11-wm/fluxbox-0.9.0

So, based on something I read in the forums, I created
/etc/portage/package.unmask and I made it look like this:

=x11-wm/fluxbox-0.9.3

I then did an 'emerge -vu --deep world' before and after an 'emerge
sync' and it still wants to upgrade fluxbox.

Also, how can you get a package ignored if it isn't specifically masked
by package.mask?

That is, I emerge'd pan-0.14.0 and everytime I do an emerge world it
wants to go back to pan-0.13.4.  I can't find pan anywhere in
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] fluxbox 0.9.3 and slots

2003-06-27 Thread Shane Hickey
Howdy all,
I recently emerge'd fluxbox 0.9.3 and now when I go to do an emerge
world it wants

[ebuildUD] x11-wm/fluxbox-0.1.14-r1 [0.9.3] -kde -gnome -nls
+xinerama +truetype -cjk 

I understand this to mean that some package depends upon
fluxbox-0.1.14-r1 so it wants to install it in another slot?  However,
after it does this, when I run fluxbox, it actually runs 0.1.14 and not
the new 0.9.3 version.  How do I make this work correctly?

[gentoo-user] rhythmbox weirdness

2003-06-26 Thread Shane Hickey
Howdy all,
I'm running rhythmbox that I got from breakmygentoo.net.  After getting
it to build (I had to specify USE=gnome when I built gst-plugins) I
fired it up the first time and it looked good.  I have about 4 gigs of
unsorted mp3s and I was using rhythmbox to read the id3 tags and then I
was moving the files around.  Anyway, when I first started, it took a
few minutes to sort all the mp3s into albums.  Then, after I had moved a
few albums into their own directories, I stopped rhythmbox.  Now I can't
start it up again.  What happens is the rhythmbox window is displayed,
but then it stops refreshing.  If you move it around or cover it up,
it's blanks it out and it never seems to recover from this.  I get
buckets of errors in my terminal, the most important of them seems to
be:

There is a disparity between the internal view of the GtkTreeView,
and the GtkTreeModel.  This generally means that the model has changed
without letting the view know.  Any display from now on is likely to
be incorrect.

Has anyone dealt with this already?  Logging out and back in doesn't
seem to do anything.  I also can't seem to find where rhythmbox is
writing the file, telling it which library to open.  I have a feeling
that if I were to start it up without an mp3 library that it would work.

Thanks,

I was wondering the same thing.  From what I've seen, most Gentoo people
just build things that they _really_ need (like reiserfs, scsi support,
raid and such) right into the kernel and not as modules.

 2) Is there a way to search the portage tree for a paticular program? 
 In this case it would be nifty if I could search for mkinitrd even if
 it is in a package that doesn't have the name in its title.

Try emerge search --searchdesc string just on the off chance that it's
in the description of the package.  You might be able to use qpkg, but I
think a 'qpkg -f filename' will only list what packages a file belongs
to if you actually have that package installed.  I might be wrong,
though.

 3) I made a Raid 1 partition for /boot.  Can i do this and boot with
 grub?

I think grub can only access physical drives.  So, you could have your
/boot partition be a raid partition, but you'd need to have grub look at
one of the individual partitions making up the raid.  Here's a good link
about Gentoo and RAID:

[gentoo-user] gnome-terminal slow scrolling

Okey doke.  This isn't a gentoo-specific question as I have dealt with
this with RedHat also.  Basically, I find myself wanting to select text

show the entire config and then highlight pages of the config and copy
them.  

My problem is that once I click in the gnome-terminal and start dragging
the mouse up to highlight text, it takes friggin' forever.  This is this
specific to gnome-terminal or is there some obscure X setting that I can
change with xset (or something like it).

Has anyone else found themselves cursing this?  Am I just nuts.

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] managing shared distfiles

2003-03-24 Thread Shane Hickey
Howdy all,
Right now, I have my main desktop gentoo box sharing it's
/usr/portage/distfiles with my other 4 gentoo boxes via nfs.  This is
working good, but I want a remove stale tarballs.  That is, I need
something that would go through and remove older versions of packages if
there were multiple versions.  I only need to keep the most recent
package to share to the other boxes.
I'm not really explaining this well, but if anyone has written
something (or knows of something) to do this, that'd be great. 
Otherwise, I might take a crack at a bash script to do it?

Crud I've never seen that one.  Did you search the bugs for nethack
related ones?  I remember hearing something about a problem with a newer
version of gnome (was that it?) and nethack.

[gentoo-user] Slightly OT: Apache and ProxyPassReverse

2003-03-18 Thread Shane Hickey
This isn't really Gentoo related, but my suspicion is that someone here
has seen this and knows the right way to do it.

Here's the deal, I have installed Linux (not Gentoo, sadly) on my Sega
Dreamcast and I compiled the ghttpd webserver on it.  It also has a
broadband adapter in it, so I want to serve out pages from it (just as a
lark).  

BUT, I'd like to front-end this server with an Apache webserver running
on Gentoo.  I think what I need to do this is the ProxyPassReverse
directive in Apache.  What I want to have happen is that whenever anyone
goes to http://www.nerddiary.org/dreamcast that it instead displays
content from the Dreamcast (running on a private IP, let's say
10.1.1.1).  I don't want to do redirection, because I don't want the
outside world to really touch the Dreamcast box (except to see it's
web content forwarded to them by the Gentoo box).

To accomplish this, I did the following:
1) I uncommented the lines relating to mod_proxy in
/etc/apache/conf/commonapache.conf
2) In my Vhost.conf, I have this for nerddiary.org
VirtualHost www.nerddiary.org
...
ProxyRequests on
ProxyPassReverse /dreamcast http://10.1.1.1/
/VirtualHost
3) Restarted Apache.

However, when I got to http://www.nerddiary.org/dreamcast, I get a 404. 
I must be missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Funny you should mention it.  I'm not normally one to play video games
on computers (consoles is another matter, however), but this weekend I
got Starcraft running under WineX.  I played a game against a user on my
network (he was on a windows laptop) and it was able to connect to his
game using the udp battle.net method.  However, it was slow as all get
out.  Crud.  Anyone gotten Starcraft to run smooth on Gentoo?

 Ok. What if you change your dpi setting and leave alone your font size?

Ack!  Of course.  I can't believe I didn't think of this.  But, the
problem was actually happening when I switched from dual-headed mode to
just a single monitor.  I thought it was when I was rebooting, but I
think that was a coincidence.  

I have now edited both my XF86Config files (for merged and normal) and
set the DisplaySize in there.  Everything looks great.

Thanks much!

[gentoo-user] galeon font-size weirdness

2003-03-14 Thread Shane Hickey
Well, I finally decided to post this problem (even though it makes it
sound like I'm crazy).  Here's the deal.  A few weeks/months ago after
doing loads of emerges, I noticed that when I started galeon that all
web pages had wicked tiny text.  To fix it, I just went into
Settings-Preferences-Rendering-Fonts/Colors and changed the Min. Size
from 14 (or so) to 29.  That made everything look normal.

Now.. here's the weird thing.  If I log out of X and log back in and
start galeon, my friggin' text is gigantic.  Then I have to go back into
Fonts and change the min. size back to 14 and it looks normal (normal,
that is, until I log out of X and back in again).

I'm sure it's something silly but I can't peg it.

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] metalog and iptables

2003-03-11 Thread Shane Hickey
Howdy all,
I'm tired of my iptables logs filling up my dmesg.  I see that there is
a --log-level option in iptables, but I'm not sure if this will help.  I
believe I've read somewhere that iptables logs as kernel facility unless
you recompile it.
What I'd like to do is have my iptables logs only go to a firewall
directory.  To that end, I've done this.

Before my DROP or REJECTS on my INPUT chain, I have:
iptables -A INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix FW_INPUT  

Before my DROP or REJECTS on my OUTPUT chain, I have:
iptables -A OUTPUT -j LOG --log-prefix FW_OUTPUT  

In my metalog.conf, I have:
Firewall messages :
  regex = (FW_INPUT|FW_OUTPUT)
  logdir = /var/log/firewall

This does indeed put my iptables logs in /var/log/firewall, but I don't
want them to also go to my dmesg.  Is this possible/easy?

[gentoo-user] problem building PHP-4.3.1 (no fork?)

2003-03-01 Thread Shane Hickey
Howdy all,
I just brought up a new gentoo box and I'm having a problem getting php
emerged. Here's the error I get during the ./configure of php.

checking whether to enable pcntl support... yes
checking for fork... no
configure: error: pcntl: fork() not supported by this platform

Any ideas?  Maybe I was too draconian in my USE flags?  They are...

[gentoo-user] Fluxbox and gconfd

2003-02-25 Thread Shane Hickey
Howdy all,
I recently switched from Gnome to Fluxbox and I'm loving it.  However,
I'm still painfully addicted to evolution, gnome-terminal and galeon, so
I find myself running these in Fluxbox.  The problem is, whenever I
start a gnome app I get CORBA errors.  However, if I kill gconfd-1 then
I'm fine.
The errors look like this:
There was an error loading config from /apps/gnome-terminal/global.
(Configuration server couldn't be contacted:
 CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/BAD_OPERATION:1.0)
There was an error loading config from /apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings.
(Configuration server couldn't be contacted:
 CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/BAD_OPERATION:1.0)
There was an error loading config from
/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default. (Configuration server couldn't be
contacted:
 CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/BAD_OPERATION:1.0)

I'm not sure what's starting gconfd-1, but I obviously don't need (since
the apps seem to run fine after I kill it).  Can someone clue me in to
what is starting this... and why?

Thanks much,

Re: [gentoo-user] Cuecat?

2003-02-12 Thread Shane Hickey
This probably doesn't address your immediate problem, but when I read
your post I remember a guy who used to post to inet-access all the time
and had a perl cuecat decoder .sig.

Some quick searching found the following:

#!/usr/bin/perl -n
printf Serial: %s  Type: %s  Code: %s\n,
map {
tr/a-zA-Z0-9+-/ -_/;
$_ = unpack 'u', chr(32 + length()*3/4) . $_;
s/\0+$//;
$_ ^= C x length;
} /\.([^.]+)/g;
