Or that the script is saved in DOS format, with CR-LF instead of LF endings, but that would throw a 'bad interpeter' error. Try 'strace ~/bin/xyz' (emerge strace if you don't have it) and compare the output with your working machine, that should give some hints to what is happening. What happens if you change the script to this? #!/usr/bin/man bash Oh, now I _do_ have an idea. What about startup files, like .bashrc, .bash_profile and such? Any recent chanegs here? Try: #!/bin/bash -i This forces the shell to be interactive, so it sources other startup files. Add 'xv' (bash -ixv) to let bash output which lines are being executed. Also put some debug info in .bashrc, .bash_profile, /etc/bash/bashrc, /etc/profile to see what of them is being started. And try another user without your personal startup files. Same effect? Wonko

to search for missing lib inside la file, like revdep-rebuild do on

There is already a bug filed against xlibs/xcb*-0.3.8, and 0.3.6 has
already
been removed from portage (a very bad decision).
The major problem is with libstartup-notification, which relies on a
function
defined in xcb-util-0.3.6 and no longer exists in 0.3.8.

Back to plan A. Any ideas how I can improve my script?
Do you have any guesses as to your passphrase or is it a total shot in

Unless you can narrow it down tremendously, you're wasting time and it
will never be recovered.
There are some candidate passphrases. I tried them all with rephrase and all
the permutations that I could think of.
Now I am trying app-crypt/nasty, for brute force cracking, but I can't get it
to work. :-(
It keeps popping up my pinentry and asking me for my default key passphrase,
not the key I am trying to feed to it.
Is there a way to change that script I posted so that it a)takes the
passphrases from a file, or b)incrementally tries {a,b,...,z}, and/or capitals
and/or numbers?
I'm making some good progress!
First I used the key to encrypt a file:
gpg -e file.txt
Then run this script to try to decrypt it:
==
#!/bin/bash
#
# try all word in test.txt
for word in $(cat test.txt); do
# try to decrypt with word
echo ${word} | gpg --passphrase-fd 0 -q --batch --no-tty --output
file_success.txt -d file.txt.gpg;
# if decrypt is successfull; stop
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo GPG passphrase is: ${word};
exit 0;
fi
done;
exit 1;
==
This finds the passphrase and prints it out on the terminal. However, its
success depends on the dictionary file I use. Also, it's not particularly
fast ...
Any idea how I can create a dictionary file? I've used apg but it's aheam!
too random. :-)
I have been given something like 6 passphrases that may have been used. The
problem is that at the time of creation the passphrase was typed in
incorrectly (twice!) So I would need to use some method of generating a
dictionary with potential typos of these known passphrases (pretty much how
the rephrase application works). What is a good way to generate such a file
by imputing a range of candidate characters?
Finally, is there a way or parallelising the run so that it speeds up?

* Harry Putnam rea...@newsguy.com [110428 01:06]: Yeah I had a look at the lines containing LOG and of course had no idea of what they meant or how to alter them.

But I wonder if it might just be an increase in log level that is required. I don't think so. That's the syslog level and changing it might change if you see the logged entries at all (depending on your syslog config.) I wanted to try that out, but was a bit chicken, thinking I'd destroy whatever setup there is that invokes the iptable rules. You won't really break anything by changing the log levels. If you're changing things using iptables commands from the shell then it's unlikely any changes are permanent anyway (everything will go back to how it was.) To make a permanent change you'll need to figure how and where the iptables rules are being loaded from when the system comes up (it might be using iptable-save and iptables-restore or a firewall script or similar.) Now I'm not an expert on iptables logging and I'm sure Mick and/or someone else will respond too. I think your iptables output is truncated at 80 columns too so some of the info is missing at the ends of some of the lines. Also, I apologize but I forget exactly the traffic for which you're trying to get the port #'s logged? But let's go through what's there (apologies if you already know what I mention:) First, iptables has different tables that it (netfilter in the kernel) uses for different purposes. The one you're interested in (and which you dumped and is the default for the iptables command if you don't specify one) is the filter table. Other tables that are of interest for other things are the nat table and, for most people, to a lessor degree the mangle table. Inside tables there are standard chains of rules and there are (potentially) user-defined chains. The path a packet takes in the system determines which tables and chains are processed. Chain INPUT (policy DROP) The filter table INPUT chain is used when a packet is destined for the box itself (i.e., not sourced on the box and not being forwarded through the box.) The policy is to DROP any packets that aren't matched by terminating rules (e.g., ACCEPT) in the chain. target prot opt source destination ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:23 ACCEPT esp -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:4500 ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:500 These ACCEPT rules allow certain traffic destined for the router itself. DROP tcp -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp flags: Other TCP traffic that's not allowed above is dropped if it's a NEW TCP connection to the router itself (i.e., not a response to TCP traffic initiated by the router.) ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABL This accepts any traffic that's part of a flow initiated from the router. INPUT_UDP udp -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 Go process the the user defined INPUT_UDP chain if the packet is a UDP packet. If that chain reaches the end of its rule list without matching a terminating rule it will return back here (as with all jumps to other chains.) INPUT_TCP tcp -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 Go process the the user defined INPUT_TCP chain if the packet is a TCP packet DOSicmp -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 icmp type 8 Go process the the user defined DOS chain if the packet is a ICMP packet with icmp type 8 ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 state NEW ACCEPT all traffic that's in state NEW to the router. Presumably if a packet hasn't been dropped above or in the user defined chains then the router wants to see that traffic. Chain FORWARD (policy DROP) The filter table FORWARD chain is used when a packet is being forwarded by the system. The default policy is to DROP packets not matched by any terminating rules in the chain. target prot opt source destination ip_filter all -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 Go process the user defined ip_filter chain for all packets POLICY icmp -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 Go process the user defined POLICY chain for ICMP packets POLICY udp -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0 Go process the user defined POLICY chain for UDP packets TCPMSS tcp -- 0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0

No worries! I'm no iptables guru, but I'm still here! ;-) There only 4 instances of LOG in the tables. But I wonder if it might just be an increase in log level that is required. Yes, level 6, or level 7 (debug) should give you more than the verbosity required. Careful though you don't overdo it and flood your logs. To guard against this options like --limit-burst or --limit-rate will only capture some of the initial similar packets and quietly drop the rest. I wanted to try that out, but was a bit chicken, thinking I'd destroy whatever setup there is that invokes the iptable rules. Yes, that's wise. You don't want to be inadvertently opening holes in your firewall ... This is why you can back up the existing set of rules and then reinstate it when you need to. In Gentoo we can see in our /etc/conf.d/iptables: == # /etc/conf.d/iptables # Location in which iptables initscript will save set rules on # service shutdown IPTABLES_SAVE=/var/lib/iptables/rules-save # Options to pass to iptables-save and iptables-restore SAVE_RESTORE_OPTIONS=-c # Save state on stopping iptables SAVE_ON_STOP=yes == Unless you are running some special script at boot up, there's where all your running rules will be saved: # /etc/init.d/iptables --verbose save * Saving iptables state ...[ ok ] Then run any commands you want to alter your rule set and if you don't like it restart/reload your iptables (without saving first) to restore your previous configuration. I would therefore recommend that you experiment on your desktop to achieve the logging level you want and then run the same commands on the router. I guess in the router you'll have to reboot it to reset the rules, or you will need to find the Linksys equivalent command that will save the running rule set (it may be different to /etc/init.d/iptables save - most probably something like /sbin/iptables-save with redirection to a file). The command you want to run is /sbin/iptables --replace: -R, --replace chain rulenum rule-specification Replace a rule in the selected chain. If the source and/or des‐ tination names resolve to multiple addresses, the command will fail. Rules are numbered starting at 1. So, to modify the above rule you would run something like: /sbin/iptables --replace BLOCK 1 -m limit --limit 15/minute -j LOG --log-level 6 --log -prefix Blocked packets This will only replace the above number 1 rule in the BLOCK chain.

During the ebuild compilation, it fail with a link error searching for libxcb-aux, libxcb-event and libxcb-atom. I search in all .la file, run lafilefixer to verify if all la is fixed I'm happy to report that startup-notification was fixed as of this morning, so update again if you haven't already. Check /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ for outdated *.pc files.
Re: [gentoo-user] Kompozer: undefined reference to `SEC_ASN1Encode_Util'

Googling only shows a conversation from two-and-a-half years ago, with no real solution after much discussion of nss and nspr, both of which I've remerged (nspr has the utils USE flag set). Does anyone here know how to evade this problem? Alternatively, is there another visual web-page development tool? Hi, I don't see kompozer in portage at all. Is it in an overlay? I think the function in the subject is from libnss, so I wonder if trying a different version of libnss might produce different results. Kompozer is probably closely related to some version of Firefox or Seamonkey. If you know which version it is similar to, you might be able to look at the dependencies for that and compare them. I also wonder if you might need to remove -Wl,--as-needed from your LDFLAGS.

I have a snd_hda_intel soundcard and the output works pretty good - like watching videos etc pp. But Skype is not able to use my mic. I can hear myself in the speakers but for some reasons I can't use the mic for a skype phonecall. I have installed alsa after this documentation: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml Alsaconf does not recognize my soundcard, but alsamixer works. Is there a special Kernelmodule I need to install? I don't think so. ...module details snipped... After installation of alsa none of the microphone channels get captured (recorded) by default. Even when you can hear them in the headset they do not get captured. Try the following: Alsamixer starts up and shows just the Playback channels. To see what is getting captured press key F4 when alsamixer is running. This shows the Capture channels. Then go to one of the microphone channels (maybe named Capture or Capture 1), and press your space bar to toggle the capturing. There should appear the word CAPTURE in red letters below the microphone channel. If capture is inactive then there are white dashes (---) below the channel. You can activate all your microphone channels for capture. Now you have your microphone captured, and can record sound and use skype. gnome-alsamixer is another graphical mixer, which I like better then alsamixer. If this does not work post the output of amixer here. Urs
[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] Scripts not working... HELP!
It appears that it's only python scripts that are not executing. By sheer chance, I wanted to use 2 scripts that involved python. My getcot script invokes getmail which is a python script. emerge is also a python script. Maybe it's just python scripts that are the problem. Last minute update == I ran eselect python set 1, and things appear to be working now. I'm not sure if it's my memory fading, but I seem to recall that before I ran eselect python set 1, I got... [i3][root][~] eselect python list Available Python interpreters: [1] python2.7 [2] python3.1 I.e. neither one was selected. Is it possible that... * my selected version was python2.6 * I ran an update and removed the python 2.6 * but forgot to select 2.7 -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org execlog.txt.gz Description: Binary data

I can hear myself in the speakers but for some reasons I can't use the mic for a skype phonecall. I had _exactly_ the same problem on my compute server which was solved fairly easily in KDE. YMMV in some other environment. In KDE I opened the mixer. Initially it has a fairly limited set of controls. Under 'Settings' I enabled the 'Capture' channel by dragging the Capture icon over to the right side. I enabled the Capture checkbox and raised the Capture volume. Testing with the Skype test service worked and I have no trouble using Skype now. HTH, Mark

Re: [gentoo-user] removing gtk+ as requested by --depclean
On Thu, 2011-04-28 at 16:19 +0200, Jesús J. Guerrero Botella wrote: gtk+ 3.x is not used by gnome versions in portage (2.x). If you don't know if you need it, then you don't need it. Gnome3 is slowly making its way into portage, and so so is bringing with it packages that depend either explicitly or optionally on gtk3, e.g. libunique-3.0.0 clutter-gtk libnotify-0.7.2 gtkmm-3.0.0.
