[gentoo-user] hacking an ebuild

Well if your using gmane, it seems to be a regular scheduled event to get hosed in the afternoon (EST) and sporadically miss messages.

[gentoo-user] skype again

You have to kill the process with Skype and restart your computer as well. It didn't work. I can launch and use skype from the command line as root, which suggests it might be a permissions issue.

[gentoo-user] sound (?) but no sound
Hello, I've managed to emerge the gentoo base, X and KDE and all are running fine. My last problem is sound.

The system loads emu10K1-gp However, I have no sound. The KDE control center does show options for midi on the SB Live 5.1, I've unmuted everything I could in alsamixer, kmix shows there is a sound device there. But kinfocenter says there is no information about the sound device, and when I start Amarok, it says there is "no suitable demux plugin".

Note that the trace clearly shows that /bin/zsh isn't returning an error code
(in which case pid 4117 would immediately die) but rather the execve call is
returning an error code and the fork()ed copy of su continues executing
(writes an error to stderr and then dies).
According to http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man2/execve.2.html EACCES is
only returned by this function for a few reasons:
1) Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix of filename
or the name of a script interpreter. (See also path_resolution(2).)
(So, make sure /bin and / are executable by uid 1000.)
2) The file or a script interpreter is not a regular file.
(So, make sure /bin/zsh is not a symlink, evidently that doesn't work.)
3) Execute permission is denied for the file or a script or ELF interpreter.
(So, make sure that /bin/zsh and /lib/ld-linux.so* are executable.
If /bin/zsh is a script make sure the interpreter listed after #! is
executable. Proceed recursively if THAT is a script.)
(Also, is it possible that you don't have the right /lib/ld-linux.so? See the
above link for some detail [the paragraph just above RETURN VALUE]. ldd
should be able to show you which one you need.)
4) The file system is mounted noexec.
(So, make sure that you filesystem is currently mounted exec.)
If all of those check out, I think you'll have to "use the source, luke".

[gentoo-user] Way to sync emails with SynCE?
Hi, I can already sync contacts (although raki crashes if I attempt to sync the contacts), tasks and appointments since yesterday. The main reason of installing SynCE was to sync my emails, however, I can't find an option in the configuration menu of raki. Google's just giving me dozens of howtos how to sync my contacts etc. Does anyone know a way to sync emails between Kontact and a pocket pc? Of course, I will post my solution here if there is any and I am the lucky one who finds it. Best regards, Namor ps.: Is it maybe multisync? The current gentoo build (...414-r4) crashes, so I had to install it manually from the svn/cvs/whatever if it really was the solution, respectively not if it isn't. :-) pgpALyXa5xMBM.pgp Description: PGP signature

I looked at least once at `ls -ld /*' and saw nothing out of the ordinary. Then, I just checked again and there it was, /lib64 had the permission '000'. Guess I should've checked more thorough, especially when you mentioned path_resolution(2), sorry. But at last everything works again, thanks everyone!

I don't use Seamonkey, but one way you might determine the answer to this question is by using strace on it to see if it is calling any external programs or just system calls. You should also be able to see what it's spending a lot of time on.

[gentoo-user] Sync and glsa-check from cron
Hi there, I'm planning to set my mother up with a very simple gentoo box, with only what she needs etc. Ideally it should require almost no interaction from me, and just keep itself working and secure. So, I'm planning to run "sudo emerge --sync" and "sudo glsa-check -f new" from a cron job, perhaps once a week. I can set up the sudoers part all fine, but is there anything I should watch out for / consider when running these maintenance tools from a cron job?

Oh, and I forgot to mention it in my other direct reply: You'll probably need
to specify the full path to those commands. $PATH is generally different or
unset when tasks are run from cron.
> I think cron can run jobs as root.
Yes, /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly} contains scripts to be run as
root. Also, some (most? all?) cron daemons allow root to have a crontab
separate from the system crontab. If you have root access you can even
fiddle with the system crontab, but that's not the "preferred" solution.
Many cron daemons also allow jobs to be run as a user by maintaining a crontab
for each user and "su"-ing to the correct user (and cleaning/setting the
environment) before running the task. If I'm reading the question correctly,
he will be adding these actions to his user's crontab and then sudo-ing to
run the script. sudo can be set up to allow users to run tasks as root
without a password. sudo also cleans the environment by default, but that
can be turned off or made less strict.
However, tasks run by cron (either as root or as another user) will have
different environment variables set. e.g. /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile
are not sourced in the shell (generally cron jobs aren't run in a shell at
all). They will also generally not have a tty associated with them. Again,
if I'm reading the OP correctly, (s)he was wondering if those changes will
affect those two commands. Some commands / scripts are quite sensitive to
the environment and may give different results (or not work at all) when run
from a cron job.

Probably not, in either case ;) There are some synce ebuilds in synce svn (which you can get from layman) which you might want to look at.

[gentoo-user] hplip and hp-check
I have a network attached HP officejet 7310. It works fine with cups as a printer but I cannot get it reognized for scanning. The officejet has address 192.168.1.50 on our private network. I have named it ss (for south salem, our home town) Running hp-check produced several errors (full output below) 1. libnetsnmp-devel not found. Is this needed and if so where is it. eix libnetsnmp found nothing. 2. linux standard base LSB support not found 3. Complaint about a different print (nyu, a work machine) 4. Complaint that the officejet is not HPLIP installed. I could not figure out how to use the "hp:" backend to cups as recommended by hp-check. 5. As noted in the hp-check output, the scanner cannot be found by scanimage -L. I had previusly run scanimage -L manually with the same result. Any help would be appreciated. In particular I would like to 1. Use the scanner (main problem) 2. Have cups use the hp: backend (perhaps this will give insight on 1 as well). thanks, allan Output of hp-check ajglap gottlieb # hp-setup HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 1.7.4a) Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 4.5 Copyright (c) 2001-7 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
