Actually it look like revdep is writng emerge command wrong.

sys-devel/gcc:x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6

emerge -pv sys-devel/gcc:x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6
while emerge gcc or emerge - sys-devel/gcc:4.3 does.

[gentoo-user] Strange firefox segfault

[Willie Wong]

Disclaimer: I am using a hardened x86 system. 

Just now I updated to Firefox 3.0.5 (which is now keyworded stable). I
found that starting firefox is no problem, nor is basic, normal
browsing. What is a problem is the hot-keys!

In short, if I tried to type Ctrl-N for a New Window or Ctrl-T for a
New Tab, firefox segfaults. 

I can click, using the mouse, File->New Window, and the New Window
will start with no problem. I can click File->New Tab, and the New Tab
will start with no problem. I can use middle-click to open a link in
new window with no problem. 

I just cannot use the Ctrl-* keyboard short cuts. 

I tried this with both my normal profile and an empty profile. The
behaviour is the same. 

The strace output looks to me like complete gibberish. 

Does anyone else have the problem? What else can I do to check whether
the problem is on my end? If I were to file a bug report, what kind of
information may be useful?

Thanks, 

W

Yes, basically you can just invoke 'sendmail b...@domain.etc' and type
message with all the headers you need - 'to:', 'from:', 'subject:' etc
to stdin.
Of course, every language has some wrappers to simplify that process.

 
> For MTA: it involves installing a DNS server ?

Not really.
Your IP belongs to an ISP, and it's DNS server has the authority for
that address. So, if anyone (e.g. mail server) is asking any (other) DNS
server "who's that guy?", that DNS will go to your provider's DNS and
ask "so, it's one of yours, who is it?" and it'll be in position to
either return some valid name (that's rarely free), delegate the task
to some other DNS (mostly the case with IP ranges, bought by some
organizations) or just shrug, which is often the case with common users.

So the answer is likely - "it won't matter, you won't get a name", but
that's entirely up to your ISP.

That said, there are always possibilities to use the services of (or set
up) some relay server or buy dedicated IP and tunnel traffic through
it, but that's quite beyond the scope of question, I believe.

[gentoo-user] X-forwarding questions

[Grant]

I just enabled X-forwarding and I've got a few questions for you guys.

Should I have any security concerns about doing this?

It looks like gimp comes through with an older/blockier version of gtk
or something.  Any way to fix that?

I'm starting X-forwarding like 'ssh -XC 192.168.100.1 gimp' and when I
close gimp it looks like the terminal is still running the process.
Is it supposed to come back to the prompt?

And if you're still going to choose full-fledged MTA, keep in mind
that you'll need a non-firewalled connection (at least to some ports)
and reverse DNS record - so that if you type "host " (or

every mail service will consider you to be anonymous spammer and won't

This would be nice, but I don't think you can do this, at least not
this way. You can grep for EPATCH_* under /usr/portage to see some
samples of how EPATCH_* stuff seems to work, especially some php
eclasses give nice examples on one line.

Still, I think in practice it is for ebuilds' and eclasses' internal
use only -- and even then only for ebuilds/eclasses which inherit the
eutils.class which in turn implements epatch() which actually does
anything with the values.

Inside an ebuild you can set up those variables in the right spot
(e.g., right in the middle of src_unpack() after unpacking the source)
and immediately call epatch(). Coming from command line there probably
won't be that dangling epatch() call waiting for your parameters in
the right spot -- and other epatch calls or setting those variables
within the ebuild may interfere or override the settings you provided
depending on the case.

Still, I'd be happy to be mistaken, this would make my life easier as well.

I first just need my apache to send mails via mod_php and mod_neko.



I'd also suggest using lite smtp client, like msmtp, which I find a
bit more feature-packed and stable than ssmtp, while being just as easy
to set up.

And if you're still going to choose full-fledged MTA, keep in mind
that you'll need a non-firewalled connection (at least to some ports)
and reverse DNS record - so that if you type "host " (or
"dig -x ") you'll get the correct domain name, otherwise nearly
every mail service will consider you to be anonymous spammer and won't
deliver any mail from your MTA.

Depends what o/s you're using everywhere. I wasn't sure if your media  
player was actually a PC or some kind of standalone box.


Samba is fine when you're double-clicking in a GUI to connect - from  
Macs or Windows - and if I'm mounting manually at the command line I  
find its syntax less wieldy. I find NFS easier to use between Linux  
systems - intuition would indicate that it should give better  
performance than Samba, but I have heard this may not (always?) be the  
case.

The obvious thing that springs to mind is to export the folder (containing
the music / images) on the HDTV system via NFS or Samba & mount it on the
laptop.

I think there's a fuse implementation which allows you to virtually "mount"
over sftp.

But really you need to tell us more before we're able to help.


What else would you like to know?

Are the changes the same for each image or are they something you have 
to judge for yourself? If they are the same then you could write a 
script that performs the changes using imagemagick tools, without the 
need to copy them around the network.


Of course, if it's something you need to judge by eye, that isn't an option.

Imagemagick would probably work (man convert). If you have gimp
installed on your mediapc you could always start gimp on that and use X
(depending if you allow X-forwarding in your sshd_config). Otherwise you
could do like Stroller suggests (NFS or Samba).

That patch applies just fine here, both 2.5.8 and 2.5.8-r1.

In case it helps, my system is ~amd64

The emerge output is very sparse, I can't see the reason for the patch 
failing. Try unpacking and patching manually to get a descriptive error 
message. 

Also, is your emerge --sync up to date?

How come that program (shell script?) got killed?
Are you maybe running hardend? I had that kind of problem often, when a
binary tries to do something forbidden (by PaX). In that case I found
something in the kernel log (dmesg, /var/log/kern.log).
My only idea, cause I don't know icedtea6 :)

Bye,
Daniel
