[gentoo-user] gvim emerge problems
Good morning all
I am getting this following message when attempting to update world,
since there has been no traffic on here I guess the issue is specific
to my setup.
I imagine that the solution would be to -aC gvim then re-emerge but I
would appreciate some guidance before I do that as to be without vim
would be
This same issue happened last week but the solution was to bring
vim-core into ~* this week I have no where to go with that.
I imagine that I could also follow the instruction given in the output
but it seem strange that that would be required to achevie a simple
update, if I am slotted or have multiple installs it is not by design
so I would prefer to revert to a simple install.
Any help gratefully accepted
Cheers

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Is there a way to protect against that? Well, you'll get an error during boot that iptables did not come up. The machine is headless though. I guess you could get it to mail you, or text you, but someone else has to advice as to how you set this up (in particular SMS texting). I assume that shorewall is only run when you change the script and otherwise /etc/init.d/iptables is run as a default service after boot. Ouch. No. I'm running shorewall in the default runlevel and iptables explicitly not at all. I thought running shorewall was all I needed to do. Can you confirm that I should be running iptables in the default runlevel and shorewall only when I want to update the config? I don't want to panic you unnecessarily. I do not know anything about shorewall and whether it takes over and runs iptables for you. Anyway, a closed port remains closed whether a firewall is running, or not. I thought the firewall specified which ports to open/close. Yes, as an additional layer, with a fine degree of configuration on top. Run nmap from another machine in your LAN and compare output with without iptables. -- Regards, Mick pgphMlwzdQRWP.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Why can a perl script be executed suid root?
Hi, even if I rename suidperl, I can execute the following suid-root perl script as normal user and get two different uids (as expected, from a suid-root script). #!/usr/bin/perl # print euid print $.\n; #print uid print $.\n; I would expect that w/o suidperl I'd get the user's uid twice.

You can't have gvim-7.0.201 and vim-7.0.174 installed simultaneously
because they depend on different versions of vim-core. The solution
is to either mask gvim-7.0.201 and vim-core-7.0.201 or unmask
vim-7.0.201:

It's not exactly clear to me what's so hard to understand here. You had gvim and vim-core in your package.keywords in effect requesting version 7.0.201 of both of those. You didn't have vim in package.keywords in effect requesting 7.0.174 of that. vim-7.0.174 depends on vim-core-7.0.174 which cannot coexist with vim-core-7.0.201 as it isn't slotted.

In that case, try 100 Hz scheduling period as well. I've had very bad experiences with I/O and 250 Hz or higher on a dual Xeon. My guess is that it was a cache effect and therefore shouldn't happen on the Core2Duo, but it might still be worth a try. As i am using Xfce i installed the diskperf-plugin which monitors disk I/O. The monitoring is divided in disk-read and disk-write. I recognized that every time when reading stops writing starts. So is this staggering of writing to disk normal as the programs have to read data they want to write to disk? On my previous machine i didn't recognize such a behaviour. So you're reading and writing from/to the same disk? I'd expect that behavior then, because the I/O scheduler tries to satisfy requests with as little thrashing as possible. So if there are enough write requests queued up it may keep the HD busy writing for a while before reading the next chunk from somewhere else. cheers!

[gentoo-user] Looking for advice on shared file system.
Hi, I've been looking around for a while now for some sort of shared file system which might meet my needs a little better than that which I am currently using. I regularly use two different computers (desktop and laptop) for the same work and have always had a network (samba) drive mounted from a server box in order to be able to have one documents repository for all three machines. This works fine, so long as I am connected to the network (or at a push, the internet via ssh and fuse), but it leaves me at a loss whilst I am working from the laptop and not able to be connected. There is also the added negative point that when I am not on a fast connection, working on a network drive can slow things down quite a bit. For a while, I have been getting around this by using rsync on a seperate directory, which I keep mirrored between all three machines. I have a simple shell script which will check out the files from the server to the local machine and another which will check them back in when I have finished working with them. The basic idea is to use something like rsync -rvzu --delete rest of command This does work, though I have to remember to check them back in before I finish. Once, I forgot and the script deleted all the changes. Also, it is quite inflexible and I just know that I am going to trip up by having various versions of the files on different computers. So... what I am looking for is some kind of file system a bit like IMAP is for mail, which will keep the files synchronised with each other (preferably automatically, or via a cron job or something) but also maintain a local copy of the files so that I can unplug from the network, carry on working and plug back in later - all seamlessly. Does anyone know of anything like this, or can make a recommendation? Alternatively, is it possible to mount a filesystem over a disconnected IMAP connection (perhaps using fuse) in a similar way to with mail? Is this a daft idea?

[gentoo-user] bittorrent 5.0.5 fails
I recently emerged bittorrent 5.0.5, but it keeps on crashing.
I've set wxGTK and wxpython to use unicode.
$ cat /etc/portage/package.use
x11-libs/wxGTK unicode

I've upgraded twisted-web since I read somewhere that could make a difference.
$ cat /etc/portage/package.keywords
=dev-python/twisted-web-0.7.0 ~x86
=dev-python/twisted-2.5.0 ~x86
And of course I tried re-emerging bittorrent as well. This appears to
be a permissions issue. I can run the program as root (at least it
doesn't crash, I haven't actually tried to download or seed torrents
as root). Any idea which permissions need to change to keep the
program from crashing when I run it as a regular user? Is it safe to
do so? Any suggestions?

I tried to add : PermitRootLogin without-password PubkeyAuthentication yes (the second seems useless since it works for non-root users) but still no luck, any ideas anyone?

I'm down to the point where all the dependencies (emerge -DuN and revdep-rebuild) are clean but when I run emerge --depclean wants remove packages that would break dependencies. Hi Mark, OK, so I read this thread and you and Bo both seem to have gotten way off track... No, not really, at least for me. I've got multiple problems here: 1) Evolution crashes 2) emerge --depclean wants to remove things that seem to be dependencies for installed programs 3) While building things to get up to date I get all these libtool warning messages which I started to think might be somehow the root cause of #1 or #2 above. I'd like to fix all three and to Bo's credit he's doing everything he can to help a poor old user type like me. You have a bunch of packages that --depclean wants to remove. It looks like they should not be removed. This screams two questions at me: 1. Did you emerge -avC gnome? No. The machine is 4 years old. It ran fluxbox for about a year and then has run Gnome ever since. Evolution has been used in both environments and worked perfectly until moving from Gnome-2.14 to 2.16 a week or so ago. The gcc-4.1 upgrade was done at Christmas and Gnome-2.14 and Evolution-2.4 worked fine after that upgrade but not now. I'm currently looking for the root cause if these crashes. Not being a developer the first thing I thought to do was look to see if all the dependencies were clean so basically I did: eix-sync emerge -pvDuN world revdep-rebuild until everything looked good. I then look a look at emerge --depclean and saw that there were about 60 packages that it wanted to remove. I worked my way through each and every one doing an equery depends, removing it if there were no dependencies, and then every so often running revdep-rebuild again. However what I started finding as I got to the end of the process was that out of the 60 packages ot be removed 15 showed that something at the application level - Gnome, Evolution, spamassasin, etc., that needed something that --depclean wanted to remove. For kicked I did an emerge -C on one package and then immediately did a revdep-rebuild. The system emerged what I just removed. That's when I contacted the list. 2. If you never had gnome installed but did have evo installed, then removed evo, everything looks proper. So, let --depclean do it's thing. Then emerge -uND world and run revder-rebuild to fix anything that remains. Based on my response above should I be doing this? From the info I posted earlier if I emerge -C jasper, as --depclean wants to do, then it seems it will just be emerged again at emerge -DuN world. I'm happy to do it if it's the right thing to do. I'm just not understanding why it should fix things.

Re: [gentoo-user] What if the firewall doesn't start?
Anyway, a closed port remains closed whether a firewall is running, or not. I thought the firewall specified which ports to open/close. Not quite, but we might be running into terminology here. The app that is listening a port opens the port. This has nothing to do with the firewall. The firewall is simply an extra level of checks applied before the packet is allowed thorugh the firewall to be received by the kernel, in the same way that a bouncer allows or disallows the public to enter a club. If the bouncer is off sick, the public gets to walk through the door up to reception, assuming the club is open for business. What Mick was referring to is that if a service is running, it's still going to listen on it's port whether iptables is running or not. So, in the absense of iptables (i.e. your bouncer is off sick), you hopefully have a decent password strategy in use by whatever is actually listening on the box.

My guess is that it was a cache effect and therefore shouldn't happen on the Core2Duo, but it might still be worth a try. As i am using Xfce i installed the diskperf-plugin which monitors disk I/O. The monitoring is divided in disk-read and disk-write. I recognized that every time when reading stops writing starts. So is this staggering of writing to disk normal as the programs have to read data they want to write to disk? On my previous machine i didn't recognize such a behaviour. So you're reading and writing from/to the same disk? I'd expect that behavior then, because the I/O scheduler tries to satisfy requests with as little thrashing as possible. So if there are enough write requests queued up it may keep the HD busy writing for a while before reading the next chunk from somewhere else. cheers!
