[gentoo-user] mwcollect deprecation notice
Hi all, Just a quick announcement that as per the announcement recently: http://www.mwcollect.org/ mwcollect has merged code with nepenthes ( http://nepenthes.mwcollect.org/ ). That said, the upgrade path will be as follows: 1) Version 3.0.4 will be added to the tree, most likely tommorow evening PST 2) I'll file a bug with ppc to ensure the proper keywording transitions over. 3) When the nepenthes version comes out with the code merged, mwcollect will be removed from the tree, and the appropriate package move will be added so users are automatically converted over to nepenthes.

FYI, both the ATI and NVidia proprietary drivers have some support for suspend-to-ram (you do _not_ need suspend2 or a patched kernel for this however), but I find it works best when suspending from within X, and the console may or may not be restored. > Also, I'm using the intel 2200 wireless card, with the ipw2200 module, > and if I put the laptop into hibernate and then power it back on, the > wireless card doesn't come back up.

The "-*" turns off all default flags (which can change when changing profiles, or when installing certain packages), so that only the flags you specifically want are on. Then I would make heavy use of package.use to turn on specific USE flags for specific packages, rather than globally enabling them in make.conf. This does take a bit more care to get right, but it can result in a very lean system, with no surprises like the x11 dependancy you had today. But be really careful if you do convert to this, and don't merge anything without examining the output of "emerge -DNuvp world", and being happy with the changes it wants to make. Switching from "pam" to "-pam" has been reported to break systems, for example. Once you are happy, run the emerge for real. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You could try pypanel. It has the autohide feature, but I'm not sure
that it responds to ALT-TAB. It's been a while since I've used it.

not only that, but this error has been there for many months, no matter what version of glibc you use. It doesnt seem to cause any problems on my systems, but if the line is erroring off, it means that you are using MDNS by default (or so it seems), so commenting the line is status quo.

( || ( x11-libs/libXpm virtual/x11 ) ) So if you have USE=xpm, this drags in either x11-libs/libXpm or virtual/x11, but libXpm is still hard masked. So you end up depending on virtual/x11, which is satisfied currently by xorg-x11-6.8, which requires xterm. Simple enough?? ;-> Try with USE=-xpm. Hmm, that seems to fix it: [gromit ~ #] USE=-xpm emerge -uDptv wordpress These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N] www-apps/wordpress-2.0.1 +vhosts 0 kB Total size of downloads: 0 kB However, I already have USE="-X -gtk -gnome -qt -kde -alsa -xpm -opengl userprofiles ..." in make.conf, so somehow this is ignoring that "-xpm". Even adding www-apps/wordpress -xpm in /etc/portage/package.use doesn't prevent the original emerge command from trying to pull in xterm and X11. What am I missing now?

[gentoo-user] iptables script tips for ppp0
Hi All,
Thanks to Daniel Robbins and his articles I've got the following basic
script working on one of my boxes:
#(connection to the Internet)
UPLINK="eth0"
#if you're a router (and thus should forward IP packets between interfaces),
#you want ROUTER="yes"; otherwise, ROUTER="no"
ROUTER="no"
#change this next line to the static IP of your uplink interface for static
SNAT, or
#"dynamic" if you have a dynamic IP. If you don't need any NAT, set NAT to
"" to
#disable it.
NAT=""
#change this next line so it lists all your network interfaces, including lo
INTERFACES="lo eth0 ppp0"
if [ "$1" = "start" ]
then
echo "Starting firewall..."
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i ! ${UPLINK} -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i ${UPLINK} -j DROP
#for testing use: REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -i ${UPLINK} -j DROP
#for testing use: REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
# #explicitly disable ECN
# if [ -e /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn ]
# then
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn
# fi
# #disable spoofing on all interfaces
# for x in ${INTERFACES}
# do
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/${x}/rp_filter
# done
if [ "$ROUTER" = "yes" ]
then
#we're a router of some kind, enable IP forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
if [ "$NAT" = "dynamic" ]
then
#dynamic IP address, use masquerading
echo "Enabling masquerading (dynamic ip)..."
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ${UPLINK} -j
MASQUERADE
elif [ "$NAT" != "" ]
then
#static IP, use SNAT
echo "Enabling SNAT (static ip)..."
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ${UPLINK} -j SNAT
--to ${UPIP}
fi
fi
elif [ "$1" = "stop" ]
then
echo "Stopping firewall..."
iptables -F INPUT
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
#turn off NAT/masquerading, if any
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
fi
nmap shows me that it works okay, but of course that's only on eth0, which
is the only NIC on this box and connects to an ADSL hardware router.
No matter what I tried I have not managed to make the script work for the
ppp0 interface. Am I supposed to duplicate all the iptables lines and
define ppp0 instead of eth0? Is there a clever modification I could used
on the above script to get the same result?
On a different but broadly relevant topic - are there any specific sysctl
and iptables settings I need to get google talk/gaim/kopete working?

Well, I did try both x86 (20050502) and ~x86 (20051223). In fact at first the x86 didn't compile so I installed ~x86 and I thought I had ~x86 listed in the origal post.

[snip] Right now, we see package.mask, -*, and sometimes even ~ARCH being used to indicate instability from upstream. For example, the gcc-4.1 ebuilds work perfectly, yet are marked -*. As another example, there was a bit of time when the KDE 3.5_beta2 ebuilds worked fine (and were ~ARCH) but they were package.mask'ed. Unfortunately we are in such a state that you don't really know if a soft-masked package is soft-masked because the ebuild is unstable or whether the package itself is as yet considered unstable; I don't think the soft-masking is used in a consistent way even though the gentoo devs might believe it is. With hard-masked packages it's pretty clear that you shouldn't use them unless you *really* know what you're doing. But with soft-masked packages it's not as clear. Even if it were the case that soft-masking indicates only ebuild instability, the ebuild controls how the package is compiled, installed, configured... A bad ebuild could really mess up your system even if the package itself has no problems. The handbook clearly suggests that you should avoid even soft-masked packages for production systems, although we would all be able to say where we've used a soft-masked package with no issues. Recently there was a thread going on about a user with a soft-masked glibc and a problem with "mdns off" in /etc/host.conf; glibc is such a critical system component, imagine what you'd need to do if the soft-masked glibc resulted in a corrupt library, the core library that all of your system components use in one fashion or another. No boot, no shell, no command execution, no remote access to fix, etc. You're left booting from a recovery disk to try to either restore from your latest backup (if you're making backups) or rebuilding components trying to get the system back to a workable state. To that end, you should consider the consequences of using those soft-masked packages and whether you're willing to deal with them in the face of failures. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

OK, I managed to spend some time looking into this. For those who are still
watching this thread this is what I now have working happily:
# under my destination settings:
destination xconsole { pipe("/dev/xconsole"); };
destination console { file("/dev/console"); };
# under my filter settings:
filter f_info { level(info); };
filter f_notice { level(notice); };
filter f_warn { level(warn); };
filter f_crit { level(crit); };
filter f_err { level(err); };
filter f_failed { match("failed"); };
filter f_denied { match("denied"); };
# under my log settings:
log { source(src); filter(f_emergency); destination(console); };
log { source(src); filter (f_warn); destination(console); };
log { source(src); filter (f_err); destination(console); };
log { source(src); filter (f_crit); destination(console); };
log { source(src); filter (f_notice); destination(console); };
log { source(src); filter (f_failed); destination(console); };
log { source(src); filter (f_denied); destination(console); };
You can modify the above to change verbosity or amount of messages that
xconsole spews at you. tty12 stills logs everything as per default
settings.
I've also added a bit of colour in the default blunt xterm used by xconsole,
just by editing /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0:
xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -fg green -bg black -daemon -notify -verbose
-fn fixed -exitOnFail
I hope this helps someone (besides me of course ;-).
Thanks for your responses which got me thinking.

I hate how emerge / portage calls a missing keyword "masked". It's really not the same thing as being in package.mask (so called "hard-masked"). In package.mask there is something decidedly broken, be it compatibility or otherwise. But, there's often nothing wrong with testing besides being new. ~ARCH is testing, ARCH is stable. It's like debian's stable/testing/unstable braches, but more fluid. On gentoo, packages are generally moved from testing to stable individually, with batch moves reserved for suites (like KDE or Gnome) or packages with migration issues. We have a number of users just on this mailing list that run testing systems all day long. We encounter more bugs than stable users, but that's alright because we /want/ to test things, and have no fear of submitting a bug. Now, if you want to fire off automated 'emerge -u world's every night, I'd suggest staying away from testing. So far, the system has mostly worked. I *would* like to see some changes, but mainly due to the fact that ~ARCH and package.mask are used for two purposes right now. See below. > In my case, the funny thing is: DVDRIP is not masked and does not work. > Acidrip is masked and works like a charm. Is the DVD:Rip ebuild doing something incorrectly, or is it just a poor package from upstream? In the former case, please file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org. In the latter, a bug can be filed, but it's more likely to get attention in upstream rather than at bugs.gentoo.org. I'm not sure /exactly/ what you want from your ripping program, but I'd check out ANDREW (ANDREW's Not a DVD Ripping and Encoding Wizard) from the FSF. Sooner or later I'm gonna write an ebuild for that sucka. (Only my rant and .sig follow, so no need to scroll if you don't want my opinion.) Right now, we see package.mask, -*, and sometimes even ~ARCH being used to indicate instability from upstream. For example, the gcc-4.1 ebuilds work perfectly, yet are marked -*. As another example, there was a bit of time when the KDE 3.5_beta2 ebuilds worked fine (and were ~ARCH) but they were package.mask'ed. >From what I understand this is incorrect. package.mask, -*, and the ~ARCH (and occasionally, -ARCH) keywords are supposed to indicate the /ebuild/'s stability, not the upstream stability. The problem is, we can't simply drop the practice of package.mask or -*'ing things like gcc-4.1 or beta versions of a DE that a good number of gentoo users work with everyday. Too many systems would break if such ebuilds were marked STABLE with no indication that *you are installing software that might not work*. What's really needed is a separate field indicating upstream classification, something similar to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS but indicating not the stability / behavior of the ebuild, but of the package from upstream. This would help both users (they can choose the test ebuilds, upstream, or both) and developers (they don't have to ever think "Was upstream broken or was the ebuild?" when they see a *-). We could also do away with the perpetually masked cvs / - versions. It would be something like ACCEPT_UPSTREAM="BETA" in make.conf where you might also have HEAD, SNAPSHOT, ALPHA, RELEASE_CANDIDATE, RELEASE, BUG_FIX, SECURITY_FIX instead of BETA; Also there would either be special logic for HEAD or an additional flag in the ebuild for "always upgrade, even to same version", but I suppose that's a different matter. Of course, this would require significant work, and may not even be something the gentoo developers would be interested in. (The existing system seems to work OK, even if it's not ideal.) But, that's my two cents, hopefully I won't feel the need to bore the entire mailing list with this again for a while.

[gentoo-user] Why does wordpress require xterm?
I am trying to install wordpress on a machine that will become a server in a rack in a datacenter, so it does not need (nor do I want) X11 on it. Right now, emerge is happy: [gromit ~ #] emerge -uDptv world These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

No need to report success. If the maintainer is happy with the ebuild and there are no bugs filed for 30 days (or is it 90?) the package will be moved from testing (~arch) to stable (arch).

I've played around with your suggestions but had no joy with them.
Syslog-ng came up with many errors and although I tried different
combinations I couldn't get it to work.
Root-tail is cool but it gets covered up by different windows. Do you
launch it as a default by entering a line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 ?
Xconsole does what I want it to do, but I would also like to get tty12
printing all messages and ideally would like xconsole to be positioned
above the fluxbox toolbar (height wise).

[gentoo-user] puzzled over why xrdb process hangs
Hello, When I boot my laptop it starts up and boots the kde login screen. When any user logs in, it gets to the third 'flashing icon' and hangs. If I ssh into the system remotely, it's fine, it's the kde login sequence that's hung. quickly running 'top' I find the culprit: krdb. I can kill it off and the sequence completes and the system is fine. But 'eix xrdb' reveals: x11-apps/xrdb Available versions: [M]1.0.1 Installed: none If it's not installed how can it be running (hung)? I've tried all sorts of things to fix this and nothing works, including revdep-rebuild... ideas? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks. Does not seem to me to be the best solution, though: if a package is masked, many users won't install it, so what's the absence of bug report indicating? In my case, the funny thing is: DVDRIP is not masked and does not work. Acidrip is masked and works like a charm. Let's hope that the blessing folks find out.

Also, many ISPs run an NTP server and it's either poorly (or purposely not) advertised. Check ntp. to see if it'll peer with you, since it'll probably be about as close as you can get network wise. Heck, they don't advertise it (AFAICT) but the first upstream IP from my cable modem has an ntpd listening and you definitely can't get any closer than that. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Some of the servers are close by and low latency and others are in far off lands. You may want to see if you can peer with a local university, military base, ISP, or company in addition to pool.ntp.org. There is a lot to say for reliable average latency over your list of peers.

You have a few alternatives: 1) Change "server" to "servers". Then, ntpd will use all the IPs associated with the domain name. As part of the process of syncing it will invalidate peers that have long or volatile round-trip times. It will, however, try to connect to 100s (IIRC) of IPs initially. 2) Use: server 0.pool.ntp.org server 1.pool.ntp.org server 2.pool.ntp.org In this case, the daemon will only use the first address from each domain name. .pool.ntp.org (for n = 0-9, IIRC) resolves to the same addresses as pool.ntp.org, but the primary address you get back is different each time. (I believe the . prefix is an attempt to prevent local caching, which would be a problem if you just repeated your server line 3 times.) You'll get better times syncing off multiple servers because the daemon can use some statistics to remove some of the network latency issues. However, you could still get a "bad draw" and get 3 servers far away from you. 3) Follow this comment from *your* .conf file: > # A good way to get servers for your machine is: > # netselect -s 3 pool.ntp.org netselect is available from portage, and I think it's generally installed during your gentoo install as a dependency of mirrorselect. In any case, you can use it to find 3 (or however many you want to use) servers close to you. Unfortunately, with this method, if better peers are added to the pool, the network topology changes, or anything else to invalidate the quality of the peers you pick, ntpd won't be able to automagically pick better ones. Also, for any of these options, you should note the geographic sub-pools that are available. I use us.pool.ntp.org. For (1) this will reduce the number of IPs initially connected to, for (2) it will increase the chance that you don't get a bad draw (because, generally, geographically closer is closer on the network), for (3) ... Well, actually for 3 you might as well pick the best ones from the entire pool. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You're only peering with one machine which generally doesn't work so well. You're probably better off just using ntpdate periodically if you are only going to sample one server. Also, the delay on the server you are polling is over 200 ms. I'm not sure where ntp3.usv.ro is located but it is over 260ms for me too. With this high network delay, slight network jitter can make your clock think it is way off. Your machine thinks it is 7.3 ms off. If you had more servers to peer with and *much* lower average delay between those servers your clock would stabilize. As it stands now, you clock probably won't ever stabilize because your network is the primary source of uncertainty.

I went on about my business and in the course of things have closed several xterms and later opened new ones. Just now while preparing to respond to your reply I discover the newer xterms all work as expected. I happened to have logged clear out of X and back in so none of the other batch are around to check what was happening. It entirely possible it was all user induced somehow. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The .inputrc settings are part of the readline library, which is linked to bash. So any place you are running bash should have readline capabilities.

[gentoo-user] readline and inputrc
Anyone know why entries in ~/.inputrc (or for that matter) /etc/inputrc are ignored in xterms? I find that inputrc entries work in console mode but not in X. Further, testing just now with a silly test entry: cat ~/.inputrc: ## C-x C-r reread init files Control-o: "now what" That even in console mode I get really bad behavior. Ctrl-o inserts `now what' as expected but then I find that any attempts thereafter to do some command like ls or whatever, when I press instead of running the command `ls' I get `lsnow what' and the ls command doesn't fire any press of prints `now what'. I'm guessing some kind of conflict with keyboard settings but mine are totally stock. I've done no customizing in that area. I'd be interested to here what others see when they use ~/.inputrc. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
