 Sorry, it doesn't work with spaces even with the quotes; if you don't
 have spaces in the directories/filenames, do

 ls -l --sort=time $(find /path -iname "*.pdf")

 If you have spaces, you need to set/restore IFS:

 S=${IFS}; IFS=$'\n'; ls -l --sort=time $(find . -iname "*.pdf"); IFS=${S}

This won't work if there are too many files because find will eventually
start ls multiple times.

Try this instead:
find /path -iname '*.pdf' -printf '%T@\t%Tc\t%p\n' | sort -nr |
cut -f 2-

I've been using mosh for almost a month now for my remote servers and

Set-up is also fairly straightforward just need to get the locale getup

Stefan, what initramfs are you using?

I don't have much experience with LVM; I just installed a Qemu virtual
machine with it, and it gave me no problems. But it was a dead simple
setup.

Your setup, however, seems to be rather complicated: you have LVM,
LUKS and (if I remember correctly) software RAID?

In my virtual machine I didn't had to do anything. There are no
services for LVM, and there are no scripts doing nothing LVM related.
There are a couple of udev rules, which I never touched, and systemd
together with that seems to handle everything by itself. I have
everything in LVM, including / and /boot (which is inside /).

Could you please explain how is exactly your layout? From drives to
partitions to PVs, VGs and LVs? And throw in there also the LUKS and
RAID (if used) setup. I will try to replicate that in a VM. Next week,
since we have a holiday weekend coming.

When I installed my LVM setup, I was surprised to find how easy it
was. The only problem I got was to install GRUB2 in /dev/vda, and even
that wasn't that difficult, and only qemu related. So perhaps the
problem is *moving* LVM machines to systemd, with the cruft from
previous OpenRC installations. Perhaps you don't need to *add*
anything, but to *remove* things that are not necessary anymore since
systemd+dracut handles everything.

Please explain to me your drive layout, so I can try to replicate it.

Regards.

Do you even have /sbin/hotplug? I don't, in any of my machines, and I
don't even remember when was the last time I saw it.

>From the git live systemd README [1]:

Legacy hotplug slows down the system and confuses udev:
  CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH=""

>From the kernel own help file:

config UEVENT_HELPER_PATH
string "path to uevent helper"
default ""
help
 Path to uevent helper program forked by the kernel for
  every uevent.

  Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was
  used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It
  usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug.
  This should not be used today, because usual systems create
  many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time
  frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes
  that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems
  it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup.

  To disable user space helper program execution at early boot
  time specify an empty string here. This setting can be altered
  via /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug or via /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
  later at runtime.

Really, whomever is recommending to set CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH is
probably wrong. I can't find *one* place where it is recommended, and
several where they explicitly say to leave the option in blank.

[gentoo-user] systemd and kernel symbol HOTPLUG

2013-09-12 Thread gottlieb
The premerge check for systemd complains that CONFIG_HOTPLUG is not
set.
grep .config does not show "CONFIG_HOTPLUG"

make menuconfig when asked to search for HOTPLUG shows that is has the
value HOTPLUG (?).  It also asserts that HOTPLUG is "selected by"
a Boolean combination of flags all of which are true (and none are
negated).

What gives?

[gentoo-user] on overlays and contributing to gentoo

2013-09-12 Thread hasufell
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I sometimes have the feeling the number of people directly
contributing to gentoo is decreasing and the number of people with
their own overlays is increasing.

Q: "Why contribute? I have my own overlay."
A: That is bad. There are several reasons:
* most overlays don't get any reviews from any other person/dev and
hence the quality is usually a lot lower than in the official tree
(not necessarily because we are smarter, but because of more eyes)
* overlays decentralize packaging which is a very bad thing and can
cause so many problems that I cannot name them all here (most
importantly overlay maintainers have no access to the trees profiles/
folder, cannot limit breakage that happened and cannot coordinate any
delicate bumps of crucial system libs)
* some overlay maintainers overwrite system libraries with their own
versions, causing unnecessary bugs for users
* user experience does not improve if he has to add a whole overlay
for a single package
* most overlays don't do pgp signing or even have thin manifests
* many overlay maintainers do not even bother to communicate in bug
reports about ebuild requests, so developers might not even notice
that someone has already worked on an ebuild

There is probably more. In the end the important thing is that an
overlay is not a direct contribution to gentoo. Of course, direct
contribution requires more work and more patience, but will solve all
of the above problems.

Q: What is direct contribution?
A: There are many ways:
* file a bug report with an ebuild request giving useful information
about the package (I sometimes give up on working on an ebuild,
because I don't use the software and have little knowledge about what
users will expect from an ebuild)
* file a bug report with an ebuild proposal, preferably after getting
a review in #gentoo-dev-help or #gentoo-sunrise
* communicate to devs that you are interested in becoming a proxy
maintainer [1]
* contribute to sunrise [2] the official user overlay (yes, also an
overlay, but with very strict policy to ensure compatibility with the
tree); here you also get a review in #gentoo-sunrise and we have
mirrors on github and bitbucket to accept pull requests
* start bothering the gentoo herds/projects directly, either in their
IRC channel or in their official overlays (oh, an overlay again,
yes... but most of the time the work done there flows directly into
the tree with some delay); some are hosted on github etc
* become a dev [3]

Only do your own overlay if more than one of the contribution channels
failed. As an example: if you propose binary ebuilds for software that
is opensource, then devs will probably not like that.

It is also fine to have your own overlay, e.g. for testing or for
packages that are really alpha, but contributing directly is more
awesome and benefits more users.

I also found configs having this:

CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="/usr/bin/udevadm"

That binary would exist here.

I am unsure if I should try that.

Ha!  Neither do I!

# ls -la /sbin/hotplug
ls: cannot access /sbin/hotplug: No such file or directory

I can honestly say that I can't remember filling in this entry when 
configuring my kernels, but then how did it get there?

I don't have that binary.  And some page on my way said the contrary:
set it to empty and let udev (?) do that.

I wonder if adding CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="/sbin/hotplug" would help you 
here.

Hello,

i would say file based ist pretty much the default. All i specified in
postfix is in main.cf "home_mailbox = Maildir/".

And in dovecot in 10-mail.conf "mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir"

Nothing else is storage related.

[gentoo-user] cross-compiling mosh

2013-09-12 Thread Stefan G. Weichinger

I read about mosh http://mosh.mit.edu/ only yesterday and installed it
on some of my systems to get started with it.

I have a server at a customer which I access through an IPSEC tunnel ...
for some reason the openssh-connection somehow stalls and even playing
with the IPSEC-params didn't help much ...

Might have to do with changing my router (right now a pfsense, earlier
an ipfire-installation on an ALIX board) .. and the other side is
running Cisco ... so ... you know.

So I am rather curious if mosh could somehow help here.

Unfortunately there are now binaries for the old SLES 10 that server
runs. And the dependencies aren't there right now .. so I wonder if I
could pre-compile mosh on my gentoo box ...

I hesitate to just copy it over and execute it as I am definitely not
paid to crash their servers ;-)

The SLES says:

# uname -a
Linux juno 2.6.16.60-0.66.1-smp #1 SMP Fri May 28 12:10:21 UTC 2010
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Anything to consider here ... ? possible?

Thanks!

Stefan

ps: anyone using mosh already? Experiences? opinions?
