  That error message is rather cryptic.  Apparently, it means that it
needs specifically the 0.10-X series.  Searching through old threads in
the Pale Moon support forum revealed that there are "major issues" with
gstreamer-1.X support, so the build only supports the 0.10-X series of
gstreamer and plugins.  This is also a problem in Firefox, from which
Pale Moon is forked.  Fortunately, there are still 0.10-X series ebuilds
in the tree.  Just to be safe, I set up a local overlay with only the
0.10-X series versions of media-libs/

gst-plugins-bad
gst-plugins-base
gst-plugins-good
gst-plugins-ugly
gst-rtsp-server
gstreamer

  I unmerged the version 1.X gstreamer and plugins, masked out >= 0.11
versions and emerged gst-plugins-base, which also pulled in gstreamer.
The Pale Moon build is churning along now, and I'll find out in a couple
of hours how it works with h264.  The web site...
http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html has h264, webm, and
ogg/theora test videos.  I currently have webm and ogg/theora working.
The gstreamer-enabled build will hopefully also run the h264 video.
This will also be useful for Youtube in HTML5 mode.

There is no need to remove the 1.x version of gstreamer (unless you
just don't need it anymore).  The 0.8, 0.10, and 1.x branches of
gstreamer are each slotted (well, the ancient 0.8 release is gone from
the tree as nothing uses it any more) specifically so that they can be
installed in parallel, and upstream actually supports doing so (which
is why the ABI version number is in the name of every library, plugin
directory, and executable).

That will work, but if they will use boot VirtualBox Windows it will

Re: [gentoo-user] blocking facebook

[John Runyon]

I used to volunteer at the local high school. They would redirect both http and 
https through their content filter (I'm not sure how they worked around SSL 
warnings exactly - maybe just a wildcard certificate for *? I know it was 
signed by a CA they had generated and installed on every school computer).

Other than that the best you can hope for is preventing DNS from resolving it. 
Add to dnsmasq options on your router "-A /facebook.com/fbcdn.net/".

-A: Specify an IP address to return for any host in the given domains. Queries 
in the domains are never forwarded and always replied to with the specified IP 
address which may be IPv4 or IPv6. 
...
one or more domains with no address returns a no-such-domain answer, so 
--address=/example.com/ is equivalent to --server=/example.com/ and returns 
NXDOMAIN for example.com and all its subdomains.

Oh, and even that's not easy.

Finding and creating a whitelist that ensures necessary stuff gets done
without allowing people to bypass blocks is almost impossible. Getting
around these sorts of blocks isn't a matter of theoretical possibility,
it's a matter of someone putting in enough time and effort into
bypassing it. If you don't have complete control over all devices all
the time, you might as well just give up.

  It's OK to change the numbers in brackets to [0:0].  They represent
the number of [packets:bytes] since the rule was last updated.  Which
block has the most traffic depends on which part of the planet you're
on.  Here in Toronto, Canada outbound traffic to the 31.13.64.0/18
block, specifically 31.13.80.3, is the most common hit.  This comes from
websites with Facebook beacons trying to track every man and his dog.

  You'll notice the occasional website with a small rectangle that says
"...can't establish a connection to the server at...".  Insert your
browser's name at the left, and the website name (Facebook,
ad.doubleclick.net, etc) at the right.

If that is the only website you want to block use /etc/hosts. Point it

The only way to blacklist facebook would be to create a whitelist and
drop everything not on said whitelist.

If you block DNS, they can use a different DNS server. If you block IP
addresses they'll use a proxy/vpn. If you use deep packet inspection
they'll use TLS or a VPN or an SSH tunnel.

If you can control the systems so that they don't do any of the above,
it's possible but you've admitted that you can't (unless you can
control all the Virtualbox instances).

The users are not that knowledgeable to do any of that DNS, proxy/vpn etc.
I know VirtualBox IP address and can block the page "facebook" for
individual IP or certain range in dd-wrt.  But my problem is getting the
dd-wrt "access control" to recognize and block "https".
Trying to block by URL: https://www.facebook.com/ doesn't work.

They may not now but I just did a quick search on startpage on how to
unblock facebook and I got a ton of hits including videos on youtube. 
They may not know how right now but after you block it, they will
shortly after.  On the plus side, you may have some budding computer
geeks coming along. 

Anyone else remember those parental control programs that rarely if ever
worked?  ROFL   Most teens could get past those in seconds if not a

It seems to me the root of your problems is fsck failing because (it thinks)

Is your mtab a symlink to /proc/mounts as it "should" be?

Probably you need to start a completely fresh build?
Also you might want to build against gstreamer:1.0 (AFAIK it is not the
default but there should be a configure switch)

Re: [gentoo-user] java virtual machine

Has anybody happen to know which java distribution, except the oracle 
one, will carry javaws?

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] Unknown problem causing incorrect mounting and daemons not starting

[Thomas Sigurdsen]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

There is an html version of this mail, that also has emerge --info and
my kernel config, at:
http://browniehive.net/tmp/hp-problems.html

I've come to a dead end in troubleshooting this issue and turn to you
for help in how to continue. The following is what I've discovered
during troubleshooting.

# FS's not Mounted After Boot

After login I need to remount `/` with rw. I always then mount `/boot`,
`/mnt/hdd`, `/home/thomas/hdd` manually; that is --- with the `fixmnt`
script I made pasted below.

before doing the above `mount` command tells me that the FS's are
mounted as they should be, but they contain no files.

## `~/bin/fixmnt`


#!/bin/bash

sudo ip link set lo up
sudo dhclient enp0s25

cp /etc/mtab /home/thomas/mtab-$(date -Iminutes)
wgp=$(wgetpaste /etc/mtab)

sudo mount -o remount,rw /
echo $wgp >> /home/thomas/wgp-$(date -Iminutes)
sudo mount /boot
sudo mount /mnt/hdd
sudo mount /home/thomas/hdd
sudo swapon /dev/sdb2
#ip link set lo up
#sudo ip link set lo up


As I can't put a copy of `/etc/mtab` anywhere on a read only FS you
won't see what it looks like before running the `fixmnt ` script. The
script gives off an error for the call to cp that I've just ignored for
now (also the wgetpaste doesn't work as it requires creating files in
`/tmp/`, which at that point in time is not writable).

# Daemons Won't Start

You can see from the above that `net.lo` does not get started and there
are some daemons that haven't started and won't start when called. Some
I can start through calling their commands directly (I do this with
`privoxy` and `tor` at the moment in a `tmux` session for browsing).
Other daemons won't start no matter what I try, like `dbus`.

## `/etc/init.d/dbus start`

 * ERROR: cannot start mtab as fsck would not start

Because of the above output I wonder if this is because of some FS or
disk error (crossing fingers for software/config and not hardware) the
culprit could be `fsck.xfs`.

I have run fsck (including `xfs_repair` on the xfs partitions) on all
partitions, with no problems reported from a trisquell livedisk. I also
tried running fsck on `/dev/sda1` from the installed Gentoo instance;
got no errors and didn't change any behaviour as far as I have noticed.

# Overview of System

Sometime in the beginning of October I installed an ssd in this laptop
and migrated to it. The problems started after this, but I am unsure
precisely when as I didn't reboot much in between the migration; for all
I remember now these problems might have started a while after the
migration. `sdb` is the "new" ssd while `sda` is the old hdd.

As you can see from `fstab` I tried putting `/dev/sdb3` as the boot
partition when I installed the ssd.

## `/etc/fstab`


#/dev/sdb3  /boot   ext2noatime 1 2
/dev/sda1   /boot   ext2noatime 1 2
/dev/sdb1   /   ext4noatime,discard 0 1
/dev/sdb2   noneswapsw  0 0
## Old harddisk
/dev/sda4   /mnt/hddxfs noatime 0 2
/mnt/hdd/home/thomas /home/thomas/hdd   nonebind0 0

  "find" finds /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-app-1.0.pc and
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0.pc on my 32-bit install.
I don't know if the Pale Moon build is looking specifically for version
0.10.  I'll check further on the Pale Moon support forum.

Are you using the same versions with the same USE flags?

[gentoo-user] dovecot imap-login

[jens wefer]

hey,..

I set up a mail server, postfix/dovecot, ssl required.
test with mail-client, all ok
when I try to copy mails with imapsync (gentoo) comes timeout,
and imapsync will login again.
with each new login, a new process imap-login is generated.

I start imapsync on centos, all ok.
I configure postfix/dovecot without ssl and start imapsync (gentoo),
all ok.

need a hint, what could be wrong.

imapsync 1.592, 1.644 (gentoo)
1.644 (centos)

Re: [gentoo-user] blocking facebook

[Willie M]

If you use nat on iptables, it will also bypass it while using NAT. Change
the DNS server on virtualbox with doing something on dd-wrt it will also
bypass it. You have to keep dealing with it. There will always be a way to
bypass.
