That's because the cdrw group is needed by udev "just-in-case" you
have a cdrw drive.


I groupadded cdrw to make sure that I get no more complaints from udev.  Then
I tried mounting a data DVD but all I get is:

$ mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: No medium found


Is this the same DVD you wrote as before?  Can you try writing a
different DVD, or a different brand of media.  Just write some random
small files to it and try that.  I'm thinking one of two possibilities
here:

1. (unlikely) the 3GB file is confusing things, possibly only files up
to 2GB are supported.  Note that DVD movies usually split things up
into 1GB chunks, probably for these kinds of issues.

2. (likely) your DVD ROM drive is not capable of reading some or all
writeable media.  Just because it can read a printed DVD, doesn't mean
it can read a DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, or DVD-R-DL, etc...  So
you might try different types and different brands of media to see if
you can find something it will read.

What does xset -q report for Screen Saver.  Xorg has it's own built in
screen saver that defaults to activating after 10 minutes.  The
built-in screen saver displays a large X pattern, unless Xorg
determines that the hardware is capable of blanking the screen, in
which case it will prefer to do that instead.

You should be able to disable the built-in screensaver by running
either "xset s 0 0", or setting 'Option "BlankTime" 0' in the
ServerLayout section of your xorg.conf.

I don't have exim installed, but I'm guessing it depends on "logger",
which can be provided by either sysklogd or syslog-ng.

Probably:

1. You had sysklogd installed at one point (thus got an init file for it)
2. You emerge -C'd it (thus why /usr/sbin/syslogd doesn't exist)
3. You have /etc in CONFIG_PROTECT but don't have /etc/init.d in
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK, so portage left the sysklogd init file on your
system.

I'm guessing you should be able to resolve this with:

1. rc-update -d sysklogd
2. rm /etc/init.d/sysklogd

Then add /etc/init.d to CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK in /etc/make.conf if you
want portage to automatically remove init files when you remove the
associated package.

The giant X11 logo seems to have replaced the blank screensaver. You can

[gentoo-user] amd64 kernel error

Hello,

I'm almost finished on a new amd64 install. I built a new kernel 
(2.6.18-gentoo-r3) and make it a boot option in grub.conf
and try to boot off of it. The system has these error lines
on the screen before locking up:


Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Insert root floppy and press Enter.


I saved the kernel from the livecd  installation process
and it boots just fine and works great.
uname -a
Linux excursion 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP Tue Aug 29 01:30:07 UTC 2006 x86_64 AMD
Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux


I ran  emerge world, emerge xorg-x11 and emerge kde-meta
all ran/compiled just fine. X is not setup (yet).

I made the kernel options for 2.6.18-gentoo-r3 identical to
those for a amd64 (turion) based system, but it still gives
that NFS error, which is probably a vestige from the livecd
install.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I use KDE, but it sb similar for you.  My  .xinitrc  is :

  xscreensaver &
  dbus-launch startkde

I start X from the raw command-line with 'startx',
so if you're using the equivalent of 'kdm', it mb a bit more complex.

Generally, I'm a fan of Epiphany, but occasionally it freezes the machine:
there seems to be some bug perhaps involving Javascript.

In my case I'm doing something like this on a single webserver.

head -n 5 /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/02_webapi.domain.com.conf

ServerName webapi.domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/webapi.domain.com/site

I also moved /etc/apache2/modules.d/41_mod_ssl.default-vhost.conf to
another dir to keep it from conflicting with the ssl vhosts I have.

You can make ssl work on a single IP if you don't mind all the "this ssl
cert is for blah domain not this domain" warnings you'll get from your
browser. The reason this happens is that SSL is negotiated before the
request for the domain so you'll default to first ssl vhost Apache
loaded for that IP.

Thanks a lot for the help.  I'm using port 444 for the second SSL
vhost.  That's no problem because it's admin stuff.  I guess that's
port-based virtual hosting.

[gentoo-user] freeradius eap tls issue

I am using net-dialup/freeradius-1.1.3-r1 with the following USE
flags="frxp mysql pam ssl"
I have read multiple howtos ( one of them is
http://www.urbanwireless.co.nz/?page_id=22 ) but when I start freeradius
in debugging mode I get the following error message:
Failed to link to module 'rlm_eap': /usr/lib/libeap-1.1.3.so: undefined

After some googling I found out that this problem relates with libtool.
Does anyone has experience with this configuration/problem?

Some more tests:

I groupadded cdrw to make sure that I get no more complaints from udev.  Then 
I tried mounting a data DVD but all I get is:

$ mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: No medium found

I have no problem mount CDs and reading the fs on them, or playing movie DVDs 
using mplayer.  For some reason the problem only seems to exist with mounting 
data DVDs.  Can you see something wrong with the above set up, permissions, 
etc.?

According to www.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS :

Because SSL operates below http and has no knowledge of the higher level 
protocol, SSL servers can
only present one certificate for a particular IP/port combination. This means 
that in most cases it
is not feasible to use name-based virtual hosting with HTTPS. (This is subject 
to change in the
upcoming TLS 1.1, which will enable name-based virtual hosting.).

Ok, knowing that others like it I'm more comfortable trying to get
used to it.  It's all the IfDefine stuff I don't like.


I suspect you're doing *:443 in more than one place. SSL can not use
named based vhosts. You need multiple IPs to do multiple ssl vhosts
correctly.


What would you do if you needed a certain  block for one
domain but not for another, and you need both of the domains to
function under SSL?  Is multiple IPs the only way?

I have all that configured in the kernel.

It seems to me now that I have a udevd problem here.  I used to have 
a /mnt/cdrw mountpoint and I also had a cdrw group.  I changed this 
to /mnt/cdrom (because I figured this laptop has just a simple DVD-ROM and 
can't write) and I then removed cdrw from the /etc/group file (I didn't use 
the command groupdel).  At this moment in time there's still a cdrom entry 
in /etc/group:

# cat /etc/group | grep cdr*
cdrom:x:19:michael,haldaemon

There's a cdrom in devices:

# ls -la /dev/cd*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec  7 20:20 /dev/cdrom -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec  7 20:20 /dev/cdrom1 -> hdc

and there's a cdrom under /mnt:

# ls -la /mnt | grep cdr*
drwx--  2 root cdrom  72 Oct 27  2004 cdrom

and this is what /etc/fstab now shows:

# cat /etc/fstab | grep cdr*
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom autonoauto,ro,user,exec 0 0

As soon as I run udevstart (or at boot) I get this error about a dozen times:

Dec  7 20:45:29 lappy udevd[2187]: lookup_group: specified group 'cdrw' 
unknown

I unmerged/remerged udev after I deleted /etc/udev*.  What is causing this 
error (where is udev picking up the previous cdrw device/group?) and how can 
I fix it.

Thanks for all your help so far.  :)

Re: [gentoo-user] hibernation and various programs.

Dang this is stupid.  You are right, vmware stays up if I hibernate
without restarting alsasound.  But for me I have no sound when I start
up again.  Oh well.

I suspect you're doing *:443 in more than one place. SSL can not use 
named based vhosts. You need multiple IPs to do multiple ssl vhosts 
correctly.

I don't think it's annoying. I would say: it's, eh, versatile :-)
But I guess it's very much the same on other distributions.
So, I would this mark this as OT.

hmm, maybe that is it.  I'll try not unloading the alsa drivers and see
if it still crashes.  Do most sound drivers resume just fine?  I think
with mine the sound will still work on a resume and will only NOT work
if I was playing music while I hibernated.  So I just set it to unload
them every time to be safe.

There is support for depend_${iface}(){}, if the function is defined it's 
executed. I haven't dug deeply enough to see why my "before" is seemingly 
ignored. It's probably only effective to net scripts, not run scripts in 
general.

My method is to boot the linux cd and partition the

cd and install it to the first partition _then_ boot
the linux cd again and install linux onto the rest. I
like to include a fat partition to allow ease of

This show the disadvantage of aggressively cleaning $DISTDIR. You have
already downloaded this file once, when you installed 2.6.17-r1 (or even
earlier when you first installed a 2.6.17 kernel). Patch level updates  
use

the same source files, so cleaning out tarballs for installed packages
results in more downloads and more load on the mirrors.




Thanks for pointing this out. Suppose it's listed somewhere, but new to me.

Newbie

p.s. perhaps a permanent link on the newsletter to a page titled "20 (30?)  
useful tidbits that everyone knows about Gentoo, that make life  
easier"? It would include a link to Bugzilla; references to equery  
depends; dep -L; pquery --vdb --revdep; only one emerge sync per day; etc.  
i.e. all the stuff that recurrs here.

That's probably it - in the "make menuconfig" menu, it should be named

[gentoo-user] Help with joliet fs

[Mick]

Hi All,

(I'm starting a new thread with this problem, because it isn't directly 
relevant to my previous thread on transcoding).

I am trying to burn a DVD with a large avi file (c. 3G) using K3B.  K3B has a 
number of options on the Burn settings, under Advanced ISO9960 Filesystem.  
By default K3B only shows 'Allow 31 character filenames' and further 
below 'ISO Level 2'.

I want to be able to read filenames which have spaces, underscores, lower case 
letters, etc. and long names/titles, so I ticked 'Allow 103 character Joliet 
filenames' and 'Allow untranslated ISO9960 filenames' - hoping that this will 
do the trick.  I left the default 'ISO Level 2' ticked.  What happened is 
that the DVD was burned successfully, but I cannot mount it using my Gentoo.  
It mounts and plays fine with WinXP, but with Gentoo returns this error:

$ mount /dev/hdc
mount: No medium found

It makes no difference if I try it as root and if I specify UDF, iso, auto as 
the fs type.  dmesg shows this:

ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISOFS: changing to secondary root

My /etc/fstab looks like this:

/dev/hdc   /mnt/dvd   auto,iso9660,udf   noauto,ro,user,exec   0 0

Could you please tell me what sort of Joliet fs options I need to select so as 
to be able to mount the burned fs, or what do I need to configure in my 
system to enable me to achieve this?  I just annoys me that WinXP has no 
problem and my Gentoo setup does.

Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I needed.

(However, I find it slightly irritating that seq without the -w flag

not, as described by Neil Bothwick.)

Read the man page:

   -w, --equal-width
  equalize width by padding with leading zeroes

It says it will pad with leading zeroes. Why are you expecting it to pad 
with trailing zeroes? Looks like a bug in 5.94 as it is doing more than 
the spec says it must.

Use this command:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ seq -f %.2f 0 0.25 1
0.00
0.25

0.75

[gentoo-user] another strange alsa problem

[Matthias Langer]

I'm using alsa for years now and it has always been fine; especially it
has always been possible without any problems to have multiple apps
running that access the sound card. For example i could start audacious
to play some music and to totem and watch a movie _with_ sound; or play
some music and start a game etc.  Yesterday, i noticed, that this is
no longer possible: For example, if i try to play a mp3 in gmplayer
while running audacious i get:

alsa-init: using device default
alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:914:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
alsa-init: playback open error: Invalid argument
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.

Now the funny thing is, that the same works as root; so i guess that
some permissions are not set correctly (note that my everyday user is in
the audio group) and perhaps, but this is only one possible explanation,
this is because i've upgraded to sys-fs/udev-103 recently ...

any ideas ?

btw, this is my sound-card: "Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1"

I don't believe there is any Atrac software outside of windows. You may have 
some success using such software with wine.

Seems that -w only pads with leading zeros. From "info coreutils seq":

`-w'
`--equal-width'
 Print all numbers with the same width, by padding with leading
 zeros.  FIRST, STEP, and LAST should all use a fixed point decimal
 representation.  (To have other kinds of padding, use `--format').

>From the above description, it seems that there are two ways to get the 
output you want: either use the command

seq -w 0.00 0.25 1.00

or use -f:

seq -f "%0.2f"  0 0.25 1

[gentoo-user] It isnt murder killing XP

[Kellystewart00]

Being a very new user to linux in general i was told killing windows altogether 
was a ballsy move but throwing myself in the deep end worked well the only 
issue i have is when it comes to encoding in Atrac format. I use mini disks for 
recording from my home music studio and would prefer to go back to atrac as 
opposed to mp3.

Are there any programs for gentoo which will encode into atrac3 or just 
straight atrac?

thanks in advance.

Re: [gentoo-user] gvim slow to start

[Ralf Stephan]

Something like that happened when (already in X) I happened
to clean my /tmp directory, deleting the dirs used by X with it...
Every open of a gtk program needed 5 to 10 sec after that.
Of course, restart of X solved it.

Morale: be careful what you put in your .bashrc  ;)

seq  -w 0 0.25 1

Actually, svn does not depend on neon, only if you use WebDAV, and
then it's a svn bug. Reason: neon is meant to be included with
packages using it. This is clearly stated in the manual.

So, correctly, you would file bugs with both davfs2 and svn.

That's how I usually go about it on new machines.  I can't be a*sed with 
wasting time on installing WinXP and the resizing/rebooting takes the whole 
lot of 15-20 minutes on a slow machine/large drive.

It doesn't matter if WinXP rewrites the boot code on the MBR, as the OP said a 
Linux LiveCD is all you need to reinstall Grub in the MBR.

I have used dvdrip and it created an avi file.  I have come across two issues 
since which I am not sure how to resolve:

1. Although I set the size of the media to 4700MB, dvdrip created a file which 
is just 2.9G (according to K3B).
2. I burned it to a DVD, but cannot mount it!  I am lost as to why I can't 
mount the darn thing.  I get a message: 

# mount -t udf /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
mount: No medium found

I tried UDF because auto, or iso9660, didn't work either.  I tried 
mounting/playing it on a colleague's WinXP box and it worked fine.  What's up 
with this?

This is what my fstab has:

/dev/dvd   /mnt/dvd   auto,iso9660,udf   noauto,ro,user,exec   0 0

Any suggestions on either front would be great.

[gentoo-user] "seq --equal-width" not working

[Andres Buehlmann]

Hi

I found a problem using seq (from coreutils):
With version 6.4, I get:

seq -w 0 0.25 1
0
0.25
0.5
0.75
1

I.e., zero padding (with decimals) doesn't work.


However, with the older version 5.94, I get as expected:

seq -w 0 0.25 1
0.00
0.25
0.50
0.75
1.00

Can anybody confirm this? Am I missing something or is it simply a bug
in the newer version?

Thanks

There's an announcement mailing list for Roundcube that is a "Read-only
list with announcements like new versions, security bugs and more."

Subscribing to that should keep you abreast of any security issues and
updates.

Roundcube is still in beta, I wouldn't expect it to be added to portage
until 1.0 is due for release.

Yes! The --tree option told me that the pulling one was
"xffm". I couln't unmask this package because is was
replaced by "thunar", an advanced file manager. (Actually, I
use neither.)

Well, I've tested RoundCube and I confirm it's very easy to install and
very nice looking web mail application...But...what about security? It's
not in the portage so there are no gentoo devs to take care of it. Since
I would not go the way of checking for exploits and patching it myself I
prefer SquirrelMail. If someday gentoo decides to include RoundCube in
the portage, only then I'll think of using it in a production system.

So, how do you, guys, secure non-portage applications?

Maybe I missed something, but why do you have to nuke XP in the first 
place? Can't you just use qtparted or any other tool to resize the 
windows partition and then go on with the gentoo install?
