Is gretap deprecated, renamed, or replaced? # ip tunnel add foo mode gretap remote 10.54.0.6 local 10.54.0.4 ttl 255 Unknown tunnel mode "gretap" A quick web search turns up many articles and blog posts from recent years with exactly this command.

Re: [gentoo-user] NSA SELinux kernel support
Sid S writes: > your distribution probably comes > with policies for everything you want to install, anyway... ...until it doesn't, and then what? I attempted a full conversion a few months back, and was ready to make some commitment to getting SELinux to work on my personal laptop. I got as far as Permissive mode, with a firehose of access violations in the auditd log. I had written a couple of scrappy policies to authorize a few small one-off violations, with the help of audit2allow, but the firehose was still gushing. I use offlineimap for fetching mail, which doesn't have a policy. Now, if I ever wanted to switch from Permissive to Enforcing, I was required, as an absolute SELinux n00b, to write a full policy for a non-trivial mail application. This is when I turned around. I could have half-assed it with audit2allow, but security-wise that's a cop-out. Inevitably, there will always be some program I want to use with no existing policy, and I'll constantly have this problem. I realized that my personal workstation is a place I like to try lots of software (don't we all like that about Linux?), and SELinux can be a big wet blanket on the fun at any time. I'd like to find a middle ground, and it might be Targeted mode (I was attempting Strict). Or, it might be a different system like AppArmor. -- Erik Mackdanz

Re: [gentoo-user] Providing virtual dependency net
I wish I could offer something helpful here, but the issue of network dependencies has been a thorn in my side for a long time (e.g. if I have PostgreSQL listening on localhost, why is it stopped with eth0?)

[gentoo-user] kernel 3.2.x has problems with NetGear WNDA3100 wireless USB dongle
Hi, I have come across a strange problem ... I use a NetGear WNDA3100 USB wireless dongle which is using the kernel module carl9170 as driver. It is working fine for a little while, some minutes, then it stops receiving/transmitting anything at all. If I unplug and insert it again it works fine a couple of minutes before it stops receiving/transmitting anything again. The LED is stuck on pink but not flashing blue/pink as it usually do when receiving/transmitting data. This is when using a 3.2.x version of gentoo-sources, if I use 3.1.10 of gentoo-sources it is working fine for hours but sometimes shuts down totally and the LED is off and only comes alive again if I unplug and insert it. Any ideas? BR / P-E

Hi,
I have installed wpa_supplicant and changed the "country" entry
in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and also added a few lines at
the end of the file:
network={
ssid="my_essid"
psk="my_ascii_password"
priority=5
}
Then I created a symbolic link to "/etc/init.d/net.lo" called
"/etc/init.d/net.wlan0" and that was it I think ... also set
"rc_hotplug" to "net.wlan0 !net.*" in "/etc/rc.conf".
That should be all to get wireless networking going if the kernel module
for your network card is loaded and you have the firmware for it in
"/lib/firmware".
Using kernel 3.1.5 at the moment and the carl9170 driver.

A friend of mine had a cold and brought some anti-fever, non recipe, medicine in a plastic tube which was flat pills that you put in water to dissolve. We were at a hotel in a hot and humid country, Dominican Republic, and we woke up in the middle of the night when a loud "pop" sounded. The same was repeated the next night. In the mornings we couldn't understand why the lid of the tube was thrown on the floor and it was put on again and it took a couple of days for us to realize what had happened. Some moisture had gotten inside the tube and the pills where starting to dissolve which raised the pressure in the tube which then made the lid to pop off. ;) > Dale > > :-) :-) > / P-E

[gentoo-user] Qt builtin widget styles not applied
I only get Qt default style, and when I install kde-base/kstyles-4.5.3 i only get Oxygen. But none of the other styles, (CDE, Cleanlooks, MS Windows 9x,Motif, Plastique) that are supposed to be built into Qt-GUI 4.6.3-r2 (and 4.7.1-r1), can be applied. (The selected style's name is saved to ~/.kde4/share/config/kdeglobals though.) What is wrong?

It is no longer maintained by xorg or nvidia, so that may be part of the problem if you are using recent nvidia hardware. A commonly asked question is "does it work as expected with the vesa driver?" (Vesa does not include 2D/3D acceleration, obviously, but it should at least give you correct results for an ordinary console.) The open-source 'nv' driver has been replaced by the open-source 'nouveau' driver, which is still very much a work in progress. I'm using it just to experiment -- I don't need 2D/3D acceleration, but maybe you do. If so, you need to use nvidia's proprietary 'nvidia' driver because it's the only choice you have at present. Now I finally have 'nouveau' sort of working. The hardest part so far was probably learning the spelling of it. Unfortunately some icons are corrupted in the taskbar of the panel (see attached screenshot) and Alt+Tab window. I tried all versions of xf86-video-nouveau in portage. <>

Thanks for the help. So version 2.0 has both binaries, but in different places. This is what it looks like for the stable version (1.4.2): % qlist read-edid /usr/share/man/man1/get-edid.1.lzma /usr/share/man/man1/parse-edid.1.lzma /usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.2/AUTHORS.lzma /usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.2/README.lzma /usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.2/ChangeLog.lzma /usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.2/NEWS.lzma /usr/sbin/parse-edid /usr/lib/debug/usr/sbin/parse-edid.debug So actually the stable version fails to install get-edid.

Do not worry about not knowing about the products that I mentioned in the parenthesis in the last paragraph (they are just some laptops with differend graphic cards built in). You may know enough to help if you are familiar with Xorg, in particular the driver called NV (as the first 2 lines of my post shows).

[gentoo-user] (II) NV(0): Setting screen physical size to 508 x 317
The problem is this line in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (II) NV(0): Setting screen physical size to 508 x 317 I have measured the screen and it is actually (approximately) 368 × 230. This error causes fonts to be shown in the wrong size (too small). I think that the fonts became smaller after some upgrade during the last few months. I do not know if it was correct before that or if it was just wrong in a different way. I tried to tell it the correct values in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor" DisplaySize 368 230 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen" Monitor "Monitor" EndSection It is read without problems: (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" (==) No Layout section. Using the first Screen section. (**) |-->Screen "Screen" (0) (**) | |-->Monitor "Monitor" But then it sets the wrong physical size anyway! Is there anything to do besides reporting a bug and waiting? (There are other issues with this video device; it shows only 25 × 80 characters in the virtual terminals (should be 75 × 240). This is the new Dell vostro|1720 from November, that replaced the old INSPIRON|8600 aquired 5 years earlier, with radeon driver. That old device worked fine without any configuration files. The physical screen size was detected and the virtual kernel output switched to 75 × 240 characters as soon as the device was detected.)

[gentoo-user] Clean shutdown of laptop possible after migration to KDE4?
After migrating to KDE4 it seems like the laptop just dies when the battery becomes empty. In KDE3 I could set klaptopdaemon to warn when the estimated remaining battery time is 15 minutes and begin a clean shutdown when it is 10 minutes. It worked very well. Is it somehow possible to get a clean shutdown in KDE4? I do not want to loose a filesystem because of it.

I am configuring vanilla-sources right now. But I got a scary security warning. So the plan is: 1. Go through make menuconfig. 2. Make kernel and modules. 3. Install kernel and modules. 4. Configure bootloader. 5. Disconnect ethernet cable. 6. Boot into new system. 7. Emerge gentoo-sources (assuming that this actually works better in the new system, without chroot). 8. Copy over .config. 9. Make oldconfig. 10. Make kernel and modules. 11. Install kernel and modules. 12. Configure bootloader (add Gentoo kernel). 13. Boot into the Gentoo kernel. 14. Configure bootloader (remove Vanilla kernel). 15. Remove Vanilla kernel and modules. 16. Unmerge vanilla-sources. 17. Reconnect ethernet cable. Yes, I created ext4 partitions. Maybe that was stupid. I should have stuck to ReiserFS 3.6 which has worked so well on the old system for over 5 years. But at least I made /boot ext2 as usual.

[gentoo-user] entropy problem
I try to commit a lot of PNGs to SVN (ran a shrink script on them) but get "SSL handshake failed: Secure connection truncated" too often. I Could sit there and move the mouse all the time to work around it, but I would really like to avoid that. I Installed media-sound/audio-entropyd-2.0.1 and fixed the init script and conf-file as described in [https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271882]. But how do I know if it does anything useful? It does not seem to keep up with the consumption of SVN. I even tried to "echo 3000 > /proc/sys/kernel/random/write_wakeup_threshold" but it does not seem to take effect. Would I need to restart audio-entropyd or do something else to apply the new value?

The thing with secular societies/desktop environments is that they do not make assumptions about people's beliefs or religious habits. Especially not based on which region they live in.

I have read that many common religious activities also only last one or maybe up to a few hours. The reason that western people get whole Sunday off is not that they are supposed to go to church all day. (Obviously, since we also get Saturdays off.) It is simply that demanding work requires rest and recreation. > I don't use KDE myself, so I'm left to wonder if it's possible to have > multiple "dayS of the week for religious observance" No. > In the west we usually have both Saturday and Sunday off from our > office jobs.

Yes (actually it is Monday-Friday that are marked). > If I agreed with my boss to work weekend technical support and have > Mondays and Tuesdays off, could I change it so these are displayed as > my "weekend"? It appears so. You could set First work day to Wednesday and Last work day to Sunday. If you literally want the 2 free days to be the "weekend", you set First day of week to Wednesday. If you want to mark your special activity day, you could set Night of the week for strip club attendance to Tuesday. But if you agree with your boss to work Tuesday-Thurday and Saturaday-Sunday, you are out of luck. KDE is not designed to handle it. To allow that, there should be 2 checkboxes for each weekday; "Work" and "Special activity". That would even work for the jews that you mentioned.

Why indeed give religious observance a > higher priority?!?! I have encountered arguments like this: "Yes, there's a setting for that in the country/region settings module but if you're not interested in it, it won't bother you. If you are, you can have kontact or the calendar plasmoid show those days as special. That's it. Sounds unproblematic to me." My point is of course that in my desktop environment, I do not want an option for either strip club attendance, religious observance, or anything else that someone else might want to do once a week. I would prefer to keep the desktop environment neutral (secular) by default. If there is indeed a need for such an option to make sundays red in the calendar, it would be more proper to call it sometning more neutral, like "Weekly holiday", "Ceremonial weekday" or "Special weekday". The user can then let that mean lap dance, prayer, family dinner, hiking, hacking or whatever he may be interested in. Yes, I know that "holiday" sounds like "holy day", but it still feels broader than "relious observance". According to wikipedia, a holiday can mean among other things "official or unofficial observances of religious, national, or cultural significance". So the phrase "Weekly holiday" covers the current meaning of the KDE option, but is meaningful even to secular people. Therefore changing the phrase would make KDE usage more acceptable in secular countries and by secular people.
[gentoo-user] New KDE4 option: "night of the week for strip club attendance" WTF?
With KDE4 I suddenly have bloody sexist stuff on my desktop!!! When I configure country/region and language, there is an option for "Night of the week for strip club attendance:" It even seems to have a weekday selected by default! Has KDE been taken over by the sex industry? (Or was it Gentoo that sneaked it in?). It was certainly not there in KDE3 and I would never install weirdo stuff like Gnaughty, so what the hell is that option for? Will it set a special wallpaper that day? And it is not even explained in the manual! That makes it even more suspicious. The last part of the manual section says "Till sist finns en kombinationsruta som heter Första dag i veckan, som låter dig välja vilken dag som är den första i veckan i ditt land." (Which means: Finally there is a combobox called First day of week, that lets you chose which day is first in the week in your country.) So there should not exist any further options after "First day of week".

It was just a standard question of knowing which Gentoo package is best suited for a particular task. (Maybe the problem is offtopic until the user got so far that he knows which package he should be using.) Maybe next month I will ask which program I should use to solve the stable marriage problem so you can have your fun again.

Fine. I think that I found a relevant package: sci-mathematics/glpk-4.35 It even has an example called "assignment problem". If the package is installed with the USE-flag "examples", the example will be installed to [/usr/share/doc/glpk-4.35/examples/assign.mod]. I will look into that. Looks infinitely more useful than most suggestions that I got so far.
[gentoo-user] program to solve assignment problem?
Is there some simple little program to solve assignment problems? Suppose that someone bought k meat (160), m fish (30) and n milk (15) for 700. So it should solve the equation k * 160 + m * 30 + n * 15 = 700. (A solution happens to be k = 4, m = 2, n = 0. An additional condition could be that he bought at most 6 items; k + m + n <= 6. That would eliminate solutions like k = 4, m = 0, n = 4.)

[gentoo-user] connecting phone (sonyericsson c702) as mass storage device: one works, not the other
I have a strange problem when trying to connect a telephone (SonyEricsspm C702) as a mass storage device.I have 2 such telephones, let us call them Black and Green. I could always connect Black. KDE showed that it had detected the device and offered to open system:/media/sdb1 (the memory card) and system:/media/sda1 (the builtin memory). But with Green, I never get any popup in KDE. On a work computer (with Microsoft Windows XP), the telephones behave identically; they work. I use Linux 2.6.30-gentoo-r6.

Ok, I added this to /etc/portage/env/sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2:
pre_pkg_setup() {
if ! hasq -g $CFLAGS ; then
elog "Adding -g to CFLAGS for $PN-$PV to locate errors
reported by Valgrind."
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g"
fi
}
Then I emerged glibc. It printed the elog message that I added and
included -g in the compile commands. Then I restarted the system. But
still no filename:linenumber in Valgrind.

Remergin pgerl didn't help. I don't have anything special in my make.conf

all.

You don't, portage is still developed and Gentoo's main package manager. The only thing paludis was necessary for was the kde 4 overlay. However, it's worth a try even if you don't necessarily need it. Paludis can use portage's configuration files so you can switch back if you don't like it. -- hackerkey://v4sw5hw2ln3pr5ck0ma2u7LwXm4l7Gi2e2t4b7Ken4/7a16s0r1p-5.62/-6.56g5OR

[gentoo-user] Another Abiword build failure
I'm unsuccesfully trying to compile app-office/abiword-2.6.4. The error
is a different one than in the other thread, though. I hope somebody
of you has a clue what's wrong and how I can fix it.
Thanks in advance,

Maybe you can reproduce the problem working without X (If you can do your work purely from the VTs) Do you use any proprietary drivers? -Erik -- hackerkey://v4sw5hw2ln3pr5ck0ma2u7LwXm4l7Gi2e2t4b7Ken4/7a16s0r1p-5.62/-6.56g5OR

The only problem I can see are unfixed bugs but these exist in maintained packages as well. -Erik -- hackerkey://v4sw5hw2ln3pr5ck0ma2u7LwXm4l7Gi2e2t4b7Ken4/7a16s0r1p-5.62/-6.56g5OR

[gentoo-user] start-stop-daemon sets USER=root - expected behaviour?
I'm using start-stop-daemon for making sure rc.wmii runs only once (If you don't know wmii's way of handling configs: it doesn't matter). Although I run it as user, it sets USER=root and HOME=/root. Is this behaviour expected or should I file a bug? -Erik -- hackerkey://v4sw5hw2ln3pr5ck0ma2u7LwXm4l7Gi2e2t4b7Ken4/7a16s0r1p-5.62/-6.56g5OR
