Is this an installation or configuration issue? Or is it simply a slow OpenOffice? Anyone else have similar symptoms? Can it be fixed? You're shure that your hardware allows a fluent work with OOo?

Re: [gentoo-user] Stealth Ethernet testing
Hi, On Fri, 21 Oct 2005 19:19:15 + (UTC) James [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, after much ado, it seems quite easy (trivial) to hide an ethernet interface, while being able to collect reems of local ethernet traffic based data, from both snort and ethereal. No, it's not that easy - depending on your requirements on the hiding. Here's the normal ethernet interace on a portable: /sbin/ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:F5:0D:30:0E inet addr:192.168.2.15 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 issued: route delete default ifconfig eth0 inet 0.0.0.0 and voila: /sbin/infconif -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:F5:0D:30:0E UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Yep, it's up and doesn't have an IP. If this is sufficient for you, fine then. On any system, 'ping 0.0.0.0' receives responses from the local interface. No, if you specify an interface for those packets, it most probably won't receive anything. But that's nitpicking here... What I need is for folks to test and verify that an ethernet interface setup this way, is indeed invisible (undetectable) by other systems. It surely isn't. It's up, listening at least to broadcasts and multicasts (well, it's written uppercase in the ipconfig output). If you find this is not true, please tell me what you did and what tool/syntax you used to discover/detect a system with an ethernet interface set up this way emerge hping2, emerge arping. And then play a little bit. Note that ethernet frames don't rely on IPs to get to their targets. In the above described situation, I would try to send a bunch of different ethernet frames to that machine and see what happenes. If I were you, I would dedicate another machine for the testing stage that sniffs if the machine answers anything. ping isn't really the tool of choice here. If you really don't want to chose a hardware based solution and go the software way, you should carefully inspect /proc/sys/net/... and have a read in linux docs how to chose sysctls for not letting linux itself spit out packages. But using this way, it is scientifically impossible (well, nearly) to 100% negate the theory that a package might get through. I really recommend the already mentioned way, cutting the Tx wires. After all, this is simple and you can be sure that you didn't forget anything. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This reasoning is pretty much void when dealing with libraries, since there's often more than one application depending on a particular library. Example: App A and app B link agains library L. Run an 'emerge -u A' and app A, and library L gets upgraded. App B is fucked in the same way as you having run an 'emerge -deep world', since B is not recompiled but its dependency is. -- Regards, Patrick Börjesson PGP signature: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x21792A5D PGP fingerprint: 74AF D4EF 6BDE CF77 16BE 6A29 CDB8 7607 2179 2A5D pgpZSofbEwFbv.pgp Description: PGP signature

Whoa. Now I know why my mplayer cannot read mpgs anymore. Thank you guys. Anyway, I recompiled it a couple of days ago with a bunch of new use flags, so I hope it will be fixed now. But it was the only problem I ever had with emerge -Du world. If I can have a new lib that will fix bugs or improve something, I want it. I won't bother recompiling some app that will complain, if needed. But of course I'm talking of my desktop system, I think I would have a very different approach for a production system.
[gentoo-user] USB problem(maybe related to udev)
Hi, I have a problem. I have a built-in USB hub in my monitor. I was able to use it, but two weeks ago it startedto send: hub 2-0:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 2 disabled lines into my dmesg. Since then the devices what are connected to this hub haven't worked. I'm affraid, that my system was somehow hybrid udev-devfs system until I removed devfsd for gentoo-sources-2.6.13. My /etc/conf.d/rc has RC_DEVICES=udev, but I don't know what should be set RC_USE_FSTAB. It is no at the moment. If I connect a device directly to my PC, then it works, only the hub is screwed up. The hardware is good 'cause it works with Knoppix. What information do you need to help me? TIA. Cheers, Tamas Sarga Sárga Tamás -- Make the world confused!Zavard össze a világot!

Hemmann, Volker Armin schreef: direct experience. I have seen xine and mplayer break multiple times or KDE loosing its themes, Yeah, but mplayer breaks if your breathe on it too hard, and Xine is not all that much better (though better than gstreamer, and overall the best in terms of stability). New releases of KDE often are so buggy that you 1) *have* to upgrade whatever is available to get the bugfixes and 2) can't really be certain that any breakage is related to library updates (or worse yet, only *partial* library updates, not all relevant libraries, because all relevant libraries don't necessarily have updates available at the same time), rather than just one of the bugs. 'Loosing its themes' I've never seen (but then again I try to avoid using KDE as much as possible), but of all the things that KDE might (and has, in my experience) lose after a full, partial, or deep upgrade, themes are about the last on my oh, no, I'm now hysterical list. But that's just me. because of qt updates or wesnoth. And that are the ones I remember without to much brain work. That is why I am healed from --deep updates OK. It's your box. In my opinion, it's impossible to avoid stuff breaking (on a Gentoo/source-based distro) box; libraries and applications depending on those libraries are *going* to be mis-matched at some point or another, sometimes quite often. It's usually temporary, and usually easy to fix: recompile the app against the updated library, as I did yesterday for Beagle, or run name_your_language.updater-- I just found there's an ocaml-updater script; who knew? or run the config utility for gcc, or java or whatever is the problem today. Or switch apps, which is a little-thought-of but often quite effective solution. Helps to be a bit flexible, though, of course, which everybody does not have the liberty to be. But if not, then just stick with stable and don't upgrade at all, --deep or otherwise. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Does anyone know how/if you can disable the plugin popup on Epiphany and Firefox, it's really frustrating to have these constant nags, especially(sic) since I can't install these binary-only plugins, both because of my social conscience, and because of my platform, I would much appreciate it if someone knew. It's a two-step process... 1) Plugins used to be stored in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins. That's now being deprecated in favour of /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins. For the time being, assume that both directories are valid. Anyhow, go into those directories and rename or remove libnullplugin.so. When Firefox tries to load a plugin, and can't find it, it defaults to libnullplugin.so which generates the plugin popup. Removing libnullplugin.so gets rid of the plugin popup. 2) If you do just that, Firefox will then display a little strip across the top, in place of the plugin popup, telling you that you're missing a required plugin, and the page may not display as intended... blah...blah...blah. It's slightly less annoying, but annoying nevertheless. To get rid of that, go into about:config and change plugin.default_plugin_disabled to false. You'll have to repeat step 1 each time you update Firefox or Mozilla or whatever browser. I don't remember if I had to reset about:config after updating.

It's usually temporary, and usually easy to fix: recompile the app against the updated library, as I did yesterday for Beagle, or run name_your_language.updater-- I just found there's an ocaml-updater script; who knew? or run the config utility for gcc, or java or whatever is the problem today.

Thanks IMHO, the proper way to do what you need to do is with GNU tools. Go to http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ and download the GNU Unix tools for Windows. Use bunzip2.exe to decompress the archive. If you know the md5sum, you can also use md5sum.exe to check your archive too. There is no file.exe however, so I don't know how you can determine what kind of file it is that you end up with. If you need help using the tools, there is a man.exe, but there aren't any pages for it to read. Instead, use the --help switch to get an idea of how to use each tool. IIRC Service Pack 2 provides TAB-autocompletion for Windows XP. If you have that and if you throw all those tools into your path, it'll be the next best thing to being at a real computer. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Yep, it's up and doesn't have an IP. If this is sufficient for you, fine then. Well, let me see how much *quieter* I can make the interface. I do need to make the ethernet interface 100% undetectable. On any system, 'ping 0.0.0.0' receives responses from the local interface. No, if you specify an interface for those packets, it most probably won't receive anything. But that's nitpicking here... Hmm you should try this and ping your local ip (before setting it to 0.0.0.0). It has to be the local host, as the latencies for any other hosts on the switch/hub are almost an order of magnitude higher. Futhermore, you can disconnect any system from it's ethernet cable, and 'ping 0.0.0.0' is the same thing and 'ping localhost' and 'ping 127.0.0.1', while the interface is disconnected. snort -dvi eth0 still runs great and the eth seems undetectable What I need is for folks to test and verify that an ethernet interface setup this way, is indeed invisible (undetectable) by other systems. It surely isn't. It's up, listening at least to broadcasts and multicasts (well, it's written uppercase in the ipconfig output). Hmm, none of the commands I tried with arp, arping or hping discovered the passive ethernet interface configured to 0.0.0.0 on the same flat hub However, there is one thing I should point out. NONE of the systems have any entry in the their hostname file except their own name, nor is DNS running on this test network. Only IP addresses, ethernet with MACs and not networked services so the arp tables are empty intil explicit communications occur. No NFS, no samba; natta. It's a test network for machines and everything is minimize. ON the gentoo systems there is no domain name, they only query DNS servers as needed (if the machines only access another machine via IP, then DNS resolution is not necessary, and network chatter has been minimized. So if you have syntax that will discover any of the 'listen only interfaces' please send me a specific example. Nothing I have tried with ping, arping, arp, arpscan, arpwatch,or hping* discovers these ethernet interfaces. I'm not saying they are 100% stealth, but, I have not found a method to discover the interfaces, for this, minimize network. Even the gentoo system configured to 0.0.0.0 is not discoverable, as of yet. If you find this is not true, please tell me what you did and what tool/syntax you used to discover/detect a system with an ethernet interface set up this way emerge hping2, emerge arping. And then play a little bit. Note that ethernet frames don't rely on IPs to get to their targets. In the above described situation, I would try to send a bunch of different ethernet frames to that machine and see what happenes. If I were you, I would dedicate another machine for the testing stage that sniffs if the machine answers anything. ping isn't really the tool of choice here. yes, as you have suggested, but the steath systems (ifconfig eth0 inet 0.0.0.0) are still not discoverable. If you disagree (and hopefully you do) please send me explicit syntax. If you really don't want to chose a hardware based solution and go the software way, you should carefully inspect /proc/sys/net/... and have a read in linux docs how to chose sysctls for not letting linux itself spit out packages. OK, after I fully explore the possibilities with the aforementioned tools, I'll look into this. A systmems ability to resist responses (icmp, mac scans, etc) is really quite facinating and I'm sure also related to kernel configuration and low level ethernet drivers. But using this way, it is scientifically impossible (well, nearly) to 100% negate the theory that a package might get through. I really recommend the already mentioned way, cutting the Tx wires. After all, this is simple and you can be sure that you didn't forget anything. Agreed. However, before I build a custom piece of hardware/cable that open-circuits the transmit line from the desire stealth interface, I need to fully characterize things available in software, and from which tools these software/config tricks hid interfaces. Open-circuiting the stealth interface is not always an option, so fully characterizing the efforts to minimize responses of the pseudo-stealth interface, via configs, software, kernel and low level drivers, will go a long way to approaching stealth behavior of an ethernet interaface. If only a few tools/hacks can discover the existence, then I can make prepartions in the firewall and other upstream routing/interfaces so as to prevent or alert such machinations.

Re: [gentoo-user] amanda client
Since google is your friend, if you had searched for gentoo amanda-client, you would've found some more information. amanda-client as your only search keyword returns some distros that have seperate server/client packages (like Debian, FreeBSD, OpenBSD). But these seem to be, if these packages are still active, distro-created seperate packages. If you look at the official website (http://amanda.org), you will see that even the official releases don't have seperate server/client packages. The server/client all come in the same gzipped tar file. Now, if you were to request an ebuild for the client be made (I checked bugs.gentoo.org, nothing there mentioning a client-only version), or possibly a specific use flag for the ebuild (say amandaserver), someone might be happy enough to make one for you (or you can always nudge the package maintainer).On 10/21/05, Jorge Almeida [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Google says there exists such a thing as amanda-client, but it's notin portage.[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ emerge -pv amandaThese are the packages that I would merge, in order:Calculating dependencies ...done!

The alsa approach seems to be to just expose the hardware capabilities of the card to userspace, without any intelligence for remapping controls and the like. So it would be more accurate to simply state that the card does not provide any master control volume, just separate controls for Front, Surround, Center, and LFE, in addition to the standard Line, CD, Mic, and so on. It expects the OS to provide a Master control that would adjust all of the outputs together. I think there is a way to do this in the .asoundrc file, but I haven't really investigated that yet. On my laptop, it seems that all 4 speakers, as well as the headphone jack, are wired to the Front control, so in reality I only need that to control the output volume. But I suspect if I actually used the s/pdif plug to connect to a true surround system, I would need to control all the outputs to adjust the volume.

Re: [gentoo-user] using g++ instead of gcc to build abiword
Thanks Richard I'm glad you pointed out that gcc version thing to me. But it doesn't change anything about compiling abiword unfortunately, with or without using g++. The strange thing is that abiword-2.2.10 (the version I currently have installed) was only released last month sometime.
