Somewhere along the line, ssh and ssh2 have gotten conflated, confused or just
downright broken. I have been running ssh daemon(s) for so long I don't even

For a short while, ssh connections to here (home) from work have taken an
unusually long time to establish. I thought it was something to do with my
domain registration, which was changing at the same time, but that has settled
down (I think). And I've been too busy surviving a car crash and attendant
medical problems to be exactly on top of the situation.

out of the setup I have.

[gentoo-user] SSH/SSH2 hosed, partially fixed, some rubble remains

I've been using ssh and/or ssh2 daemons on this gentoo system for so long I've forgottenhow I had it set up. Now it's broken, and I have no idea how it got that way.

At first, it was just taking a long time to connect to this system (home) from work and ask
for a password. Now it is still slow, but it just does not respond at all after the password is
entered. Also at first, I imagined that I was really having a problem relating to my domain
registration being changed, but now that has pretty much settled down. To make things
just a bit more difficult, I've been too busy surviving a car crash and dealing with associated
medical issues to pay enough attention to this.

Anyway, here is some of what I find in the rubble:
I have both
/etc/init.d/sshd
and /etc/init.d/sshd2

I can start and stop sshd, but not sshd2, which complains it's not configured. File
timestamps indicate that sshd2 stuff has not changed since some time in 2004.
Moreover, equery belongs cannot locate any package that owns the sshd2 files.
The sshd files belong to net-misc/openssh-4.3_p2-r1.

AHAH! I've already solved part of the problem, because when I start sshd, I get this:

treat init.d # ./sshd start
ldap_simple_bind_s(): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
[LDAP] could not initialize ldap connection
* Starting sshd ...
ldap_simple_bind_s(): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
[LDAP] could not initialize ldap
connection
[ ok ]
treat init.d #

This baffled me a bit. I'm not aware of having or running or using any LDAP server.
I never have. I notice that there are some LDAP-related things in sshd_config.

SOLVED speed problems when I commented these out. There's still a mystery to
me though. I'm quite sure I did not change them myself and the last emerge was
2 years ago according to /var/log/emerge/log. What I may have done is to adjust X11
forwarding.

STILL TROUBLING:
why did LDAP get turned on? Whodunnit?
why do I have orphaned sshd2 things?

STILL BROKEN:
Although I can now ssh to my system, with no noticeable delays, I cannot scp because
it still hangs after the password is entered. (I can just ssh and then do the scp backwards,
however).

Can anyone help me debug this? What else should I be looking at?

[gentoo-user] Ghost of vmware workstation haunts player?

I had a trial license for vmware workstation. I decided to work just with
vmware player, so I did an emerge -C on workstation, and an emerge
of player.

The install was perfectly smooth, but it doesn't work. The symptoms
were pretty bizarre, so I did a careful by-hand deletion of the files that
the unmerge told me would remove all traces, then I rebooted the
system (there was a module that wouldn't unload).

Then I did an umerge and emerge again. I ran the configurations script.
But, it was schizophrenic about it. Below is what it said at the end of
the configure; you'll see it says the module loads perfectly, then it
says it has been installed correctly, but not configured (but this is while
*running* the configure script. Then it says I can go ahead and run
the player.

It cannot make up its mind, but the end result is nothing works any
more.

Help?

[gentoo-user] bash wizardry needed: PATH and MANPATH grow and grow and grow

2006-05-21 Thread Kevin O'Gorman

I have inherited some pretty gnarly dotfiles that I don't really want to fool with too much,
but I'm also unhappy with what they do to my environment. They keep adding the
same things over and over to some of the variables.

Does anyone know a nice little idiom for de-duping a colon-list like PATH or MANPATH?
It has to retain one copy of each duplicate, preserving the order of *first* appearances.
I know how to avoid duplicates when I do the coding myself:
 case :$PATH: in
 *:mynewthing:*) ;;
 *) export PATH=$PATH:mynewthing
 esac

I'm just not sure how best to turn the colon-list into something I can iterate over.

Obviously, I use bash.

[gentoo-user] Ethics of vmware use

2006-05-20 Thread Kevin O'Gorman

I like to be one of the good guys. I'm not always sure what that means
in particular cases, so I'm going to ask what I should do here. Opinions
welcome. Flames somewhat less so.

I got a 30-day trial license for vmware, thinking to replace my aging
Win4Lin. It seems to work (thanks to folks on this list). But I notice
that now that I've created my VMs, I may not need workstation any
more. I could do very well with the player, which is free.

I'm using VMware to virtualize my old Win98 that used to run on
a predecessor of the current host. On this, I run Quicken and I may
decide to run some games as well.

I'd just go ahead and buy Workstation except for the ~$200.-- price tag.
But somehow it seems more like a $50.00 item for what I'm doing
with it. I just feel a bit cheap using and ditching a trial version, since
I'm definitely getting a benefit from it I could not have gotten otherwise
(unless I could prevail on someone else to build the VM for me).

On that point, what are the ethics of building VMs for others?
What does VMware say about this?

Re: [gentoo-user] Grrr: gentoo form of dependency hell was: [Bug 129864]

2006-05-17 Thread Kevin O'Gorman

That's an uncalled-for and hateful remark, besides being disingenuous.
Some of the details of masking are obscure and judging from other commentary
on this list, this is intentional. Or at least somewhat prized by the local experts.
I do read documentation, but I have a low tolerance for intentional obscurity.

That said, I probably push myself to use a lot more software than I can reasonably
be expert in, and I don't always remember where all the documentation bits are.
I do my best, but it's not unusual for the clear bits of documentation to be hard to 
find. Sometimes this is because finding those bits requires knowing the magic
search phrase that just happens to be defined only in the bit one needs to find.

[gentoo-user] When to reboot after updates to the system

2006-04-28 Thread Kevin

Hi All-

I've read the portage documentation at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/index.xml?catid=gentoo and I've searched
and browsed the gentoo-user mailing list archive, but I have a question
that I don't see answered anywhere.

It seems to me that it must be true that sometimes, after a system
upgrade done with:

emerge -uD system
or
emerge -uD world

I must reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

I could be wrong on this, but it seems reasonable to me to think that I
should reboot in certain circumstances.  Perhaps after an upgrade to the
 glibc package or other libraries... not sure.

Am I right about this?

If so, can someone tell me under exactly what circumstances I should
reboot immediately after a system update such as these above?  (ie. if
glibc gets updated, if you add a new USE flag that requires recompiling
certain packages, after an update to the sysvinit package, etc.)

I realize of course that if I compile a new kernel and want to use the
new kernel then I need to configure the boot manager and reboot with the
new kernel, but it seems to me that there would be other circumstances
aside from this that would require a reboot after a system update.

Thanks for any replies.

Re: [gentoo-user] When to reboot after updates to the system

2006-04-28 Thread Kevin

On a related note, what is the most correct procedure for restarting a
service after an update to a service (say named or cyrus-imapd or apache
or sshd)?

I've been doing something like this:

# emerge -v openssh
examine config file differences and make any adjustments that are
required to be done by hand.
# /etc/init.d/sshd stop
# mv -i /etc/init.d/._cfg_sshd /etc/init.d/sshd
# /etc/init.d/sshd start

But I've noticed that there are cases when this general procedure
doesn't work.  Perhaps because binaries change location between package
versions and the old /etc/init.d/service script presumes the old package
binary location and the new package has already been installed so the
new binaries are no longer with the old startup script thinks they are.
 In those cases, I usually find the service with ps and kill it by hand,
then zap the service and start it again, using the new start script, but
maybe there's a better way.  Seems to me that it might be better to do
something like this:

# /etc/init.d/sshd stop
# emerge -v openssh
examine config file differences and make any adjustments that are
required to be done by hand.
# mv -i /etc/init.d/._cfg_sshd /etc/init.d/sshd
# /etc/init.d/sshd start

But if I'm remotely logged in to the box using ssh, then this has some
obvious problems (my connection to the box goes down when I turn off the
sshd daemon).

Any thoughts on this issue?

2006-04-13 Thread Kevin O'Gorman

You probably want something like this in your .vimrc:

set expandtab
set
tabstop=8 
ts, number of spaces that a tab *in the original file* is

equivalent to 
set softtabstop=4  how much a tab *that you type* is worth
set shiftwidth=4  sw, number of spaces shifted left and right when issuing

  commands
set autoindent
set smartindent

YMMV

You can check if your machine is an open relay by using telnet torelay-test.mail-abuse.org from the machine which runs the mail.An other alternative is to use their webinterface
(http://www.abuse.net/relay.html) but I have no experience with that one.
Thanks for the links. To my relief, they both reported all relay attempts
were blocked. So the bounces were spammers spoofing my address

[gentoo-user] Problems with the GLI on the x86 2006.0 LiveCD

2006-03-01 Thread Kevin

Hi List-

Some hardware issue requires me to boot the subject CD with either the
nodetect or nohotplug parameters.  Without one of these, the boot
process hangs when detecting pnp hardware.  I suspect that the cause may
be one of the two Digium PCI cards that I have in the machine, but not sure.

So I'm booting the LiveCD at the grub prompt with this command:

gentoo-nofb nohotplug

Happily, in spite of this, my NIC is being detected and the correct
(tulip) module is being loaded for it automatically.

However, the curses-based GLI is failing on me constantly at the stage
where I manually configure the NIC.

I've tried this many times, and every time, the installer program fails
with the words:

The setup program seems to have failed

That's all I get.

I've also tried setting up the network manually by editing
/etc/conf.d/net and starting up the network, then starting sshd, then
remotely logging into the box and running the installer that way.  That
method gets me past the network config part of the GLI, but I've found
that the installer crashes at various other points also: when I try to
save the XML profile and a few other points that I've just learned to
try and avoid as I walk through the installer steps.

But I'm at the point now where I've run the installer 15 or 20 times and
every time it ends the same way, with the error message above.
Sometimes it ends this way at the network config step, other times it
ends this way at other steps, but it always crashes.  Plus, I can't find
anywhere in the script that it allows me to set mountpoints for the
partitions that I've created.

Is anyone else seeing this and can anyone recommend a work-around?  I'd
be happy to share my dmesg output or any other details if someone thinks
it would help improve the installer program.

Since the 2006.0 handbook assumes that I'm installing with the GLI, it
seems that my only other option for installing is with the minimal CD
and the general installation handbook.  If anyone has other ideas on how
to install from one of the 2006 series of CDs, I'd very much appreciate
learning of them.

TIA for any suggestions.

[nomerge]
sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2-r1-bootstrap +doc +java -nocxx +tcltk the reason db is calling for java is because you have the java USE flag set for db.
Do you really need db to use Java? If not, disable the flag (# echo'sys-libs/db -java'/etc/portage/package.use); problem solved. All the way up until the next package which depends on java. Only the
first package that is came across is listed as the parent. sys-libs/db doesn't call for any specific version of java. The complaint is that sun-jdk-1.5 is installed but emerge is wanting to install
sun-jdk-1.4. This indicates that sun-jdk-1.5 is likely masked.Well that's all true, Jason, but my point was that this is an *option*,not a hard dependency, and many times people have USE flags enabled for
things they don't even need (or need for the specific program).So Kevin certainly could unmask sun-jdk 1.5 --and if it's installed, thenhow did that happen without it being unmasked? Sun-jdk-1.5 ishard-masked! The original post does not say that any version of the jdk
is actually installed: Anyway, my latest emerge world failed because of sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 (!!!).The current one is 1.5 something.Meaning (to me) that Kevin is referring to the current *available*
*version* of sun-jdk, not to any version he might have installed (and myimpression is that he does not in fact have any version of sun-jdkinstalled), and he's just concerned that an out-of-date version will
be installed rather than the latest.But if he doesn't need java support in the db at all, then disabling theUSE flag entirely (globally or for this package alone), then java won'tbe called by the emerge of db, which saves having to unmask a package
that Kevin may have concerns about installing in the first place if heruns stable, or even unstable-- sun-jdk-1.5 *is* hard-masked, after all,and one should rightfully think twice and then think again about
installing a hard-masked package-- and secondly does not install bloatonto the system (if he doesn't need java support in db, then he has noreason to install it, or spend the extra compile time installing db java
support).I've often solved similar issues on my own system by the simpleexpedient of disabling the USE flag that was calling the dependency thatwas giving me a problem. Helps keep the system clean.

This has been pretty informative. Perhaps I'm getting closer to understanding this.

Fact: I do have Java 1.5 unmasked. I teach java, and need to be
using the current version. I have the java USE flag on generally,
so there will probably be a number of packages that will call for
it. On the other hand, I don't have a specific need for it in
'db' which I never use explicitly -- I use gdbm or one of the SQL
products for what database stuff I do personally.

The question now seems to be: why doesn't db use Java 1.5?
Watching the emerge go by, it seemed to be doing just that -- the
filenames were all 1.5.
However, it's not just db. When I disable java in db using
package.use, the problem just switches to another dependency path:

This is interesting. sys-libs/db causes the old Java to be emerged.
However, I've deleted that version, and then I re-emerged sys-libs/db.
It still is calling for the old Java version.

There are 3 versions of sys-libs/db installed. Could it be mis-identifying

Do a clean re-compile of the kernel with anything that might possible be 
related to your sound card as modules, especially the mixer and sequencer 
stuff. Doing this as a clean compile is important, the symbol version stuff 
has possible come about from having things compiled at different times.


Put /etc/modules.d/alsa back as it was, remove the ALSA_CARDS variable from 
make.conf (it's used by the alsa-driver package, so unnecessary for kernel 
compiled drivers), and reboot.


The alsasound init script, and associated tools, are clever, and don't 
actually need to be told what card you have (in simple circumstances).


 

I noticed the OP is using a 2.6.13 kernel.  I have had problems using 
modules with this kernel where they worked in a 2.6.12 kernel.  For 
example, I could not get agp/dri working when compiled as modules.  Once 
I compiled them in the kernel itself, it worked.


So, when I couldn't get alsa modules to load after upgrading to 2.6.13 
kernel, I tried the above trick.  That did it for me.  When alsa was 
compiled in kernel, not as modules nor with the alsa-driver ebuild, 
sound started working.


I think there is something that changed in 2.6.13 that has affected 
modules.  I haven't researched anymore as my work-around has me happy 
for now.

[gentoo-user] Fumblefingers corrupts an ebuild, plea for help

I thought I was just looking, but after closing the editor my emerges are
complaining about a corrupted ebuild of xchat. Specifically,

 !!! ERROR: net-irc/xchat-2.4.5 failed.
 !!! Function , Line 1686, Exitcode 1
 !!! error sourcing ebuild
 !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

Clearly, I did this to myself. But now I don't know how to set it right. I suspect
all the pieces are here, but a quick look at distfiles didn't even show that version
of xchat, so I don't know how to proceed. The syntax of the offending line
looks enough like the ones around it that I can't intuit a quick edit fix.
Maybe somebody could email the correct ebuild, or quick instructions for
forcing a new unpack or whatever seems best?

While I'm here: the reason I was looking was that I was wondering what the
USE flags xchatdccserver, xchatnogtk and xchattext do, and was hoping the
ebuild itself might tell me. It didn't, or at least not very well. Especially the
xchattext one.

This is what finally worked for me.  I am on a 2.6.13 kernel and until I

modules, I was unable to get dri working.


I emerged x11-drm with VIDEO_CARDS=radeon.  The radeon driver and drm

I think this is an issue with the 2.6.13 kernel not liking agp compiled

I have a ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY and I been using 
radeon driver from kernel.
In order to enable rendering, I been looking around and after no 
success I was told that I should use fglrx driver from proprietary 
ATI-drivers! Tried it, but no deal! Then I was again told that these 
drivers were not to my card, and that radeon should made it.
So, I'm back to radeon but still no rendering. However, there's noting 
saying the opposite unless:

# glxinfo | grep -i rendering
direct rendering: No

I am following this thread w/ interest as I am having similar problems.  
Although I am seeing errors in my syslog file that indicate I'm not even 
able to get agp going.  Anyone seen something similar?

I've got a radeon mobility 9200 in my laptop and have compiled 
CONFIG_AGP=m, CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=m, CONFIG_DRM=m, and CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m. 

Interestingly enough, agpgart module loads at boot but intel_agp 
doesn't.  Modprobe of intel_agp produces no errors, but lsmod shows it's 
not loaded.  Nothing in log files either.  When X is started, drm and 
radeon modules load up, but dri still doesn't work, probably because agp 
isn't working.

Do you have agpgart in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 ?  replace it
with intel_agp, then place radeon on the line following.  intel_agp will
draw in agpgart, and radeon must be loaded after those are in.

hth,

The problem I'm having is that when I load intel-agp, it loads agpgart 
(as it is dependent on that), but intel-agp is never loaded.  No errors, 
no log file entries, nada.

There are two versions of the Java plugin listed, with the same libjavaplugin_oji.so
filename. The latest is Java 1.5.0_04b05.

There are two versions of Flash listed, also with one and the same filename:
libflashplayer.so.

The crux: are there really two versions installed? Should I clean this up? If so,
how? Is this a Gentoo portage artifact, or does this happen in other distros as well?



Also: I would like the Adobe Acrobat plugin, but
1) I don't see it in 'eix' or 'emerge -s'.
2) The instructions for installing from an existing Acrobat install are not effective
 with the portage-installed acrobat.

Should I make a separate version from the Acrobat tarball?

[gentoo-user] Cannot see my own posts: configuring gentoo-users in gmail

When I start a new thread, I do not see my own posting, even after others
have responded. It gets put in the sent folder and stays there.
This is in gmail, where I do all my mailing lists in an account that I use for
nothing else. It's not hard to fix: for each thread I start, I find the mail in
Sent Mail and move to Inbox and all is well. But it's a nuisance, and
occasionally I forget.
Are there settings somewhere that's making this happen to me? I've looked
around and don't see anything offhand, but maybe my around isn't big
enough.

[gentoo-user] What to do about firefox

2005-09-16 Thread Kevin O'Gorman

I thought firefox would become a good citizen, given adequate time,
but I still have to kill it off every day or so even on my dual Xeon with
2 GB memory -- it's just a huge CPU hog after a while. It restarts
okay, but it's a nuisance. I've waited over a year hoping the updated
versions would behave better. No luck.

I may have misconfigured it early on. Is there something in particular
I should look for?-- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

Oh, um er, right. All that stuff is another distro. I'm an equal opportunity newbie,

And I guess I got over-impressed with the opening screen, which says 2.0.
I don't have admin priviliges there, and never asked what the package version is.

I'll try your formula and see what happens.

Actually your Fedora boxes weren't
running 2.0 they where running 1.9 which is the beta for 2.0. If you
want to run that on Gentoo you need to add `app-office/openoffice-bin`
to your /etc/portage/package.unmask and `app-office/openoffice-bin
~x86` to your /etc/portage/package.keywords file then emerge
openoffice-bin. You didn't miss a thing, its just hard masked
development. because it's not stable and it does crash often enough but
its well worth the install.

Also as far as I know there is no such thing as universe, multiverse,
and backports gor Gentoo. In any case good luck getting it running,
once you get it unmasked its just as easy as the real deal (if you
will).

Add the following line into prefs.js of your Thunderbird profile:

user_pref(network.protocol-handler.app.http, firefox);

I believe Thunderbird has changed its default behavior from some version.


 

Make sure you stop Thunderbird first.  If you edit prefs.js while Tbird 
is running, it will be overwritten when the next time you stop it.


I think the recommended way to do this is to put things like this in

[gentoo-user] Where is the emerge history

How can I find out the last few things I emerged? I've tried the docs, but I can't seem to find a helpful query, and
my attempts to browse my way to it have failed.

My reason is that I've been trying to track down the reasons why the latest ebuilds of libgphoto2 and of wine are
failing, and in the process, I think I omitted --oneshot on some of my emerges. I like to clean 'world' when I can.

Anyway, just a pointer would be good.-- Kevin O'Gorman

[gentoo-user] libghoto2 emerge fails -- what to do?

The latest ebuild of this library fails for me. I'm not sure what to do,
or even if this is the right place to post the info. So I'm wondering what I should do next.

The emerge output contains a lot of unusual stuff that looks like source code. I don't
generally see such stuff.
The tail end looks like this:

 Thanks guys.  One last question...what's the drawback to using the

There is much here I don't understand.  Isn't it possible for someone

got one of the missing ebuilds to re-build an ebuild and pass it
around?  For instance,
I seem to have

linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r6

linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r11
linux-2.6.7-win4lin-r2
linux-2.6.7-win4lin-r5

of which I seem to be actually running (according to uname)
2.6.12-gentoo-r6-kosmanor #1 SMP

Isn't it possible to package one of these and share it?  (Provided anyone

got the results one would expect.  However, 'enable lp0' gives this
odd error message:

-/bin/bash: enable: lp0: not a shell builtin

Now, this makes no sense to me at all.

So, now I have a completely unusable setup.  Any clues?

[gentoo-user] New KDE -- Konsole breaks ncurses

2005-07-08 Thread Kevin O'Gorman

Is anybody else seeing this, after a very recent emerge?

It's been a while since I rebooted the machine or restarted KDE, so I
cannot be sure when this broke.  Today, however, after doing both
I'm having trouble with character-mode programs.  I didn't write the
programs, so I'm having some trouble diagnosing any details.

However, here's what I do know:
KDE is 3.4.1

I have programs that are linked with -lncurses, and these do not
run in a Konsole (the window goes black and I never see anything),
but they run fine in an xterm.  Until the reboot today, they were
working fine both ways.

Clues, anyone?

Okay, thanks.  They are indeed niced, because there are a lot of them, and
I would like my keystrokes echoed sometime today

OTOH, where can I read about the others?

 The full names for the first three are user, system, and nice. It
 appears that the tasks your are running are being run 'niced', see man
 nice. The priority is set to lower (or possibly higher, i'm not
 sure...) than regular tasks in the system, and the cpu usage shows up
 under nice instead of user.

[gentoo-user] Crontab best practices: ideas anyone?

2005-07-03 Thread Kevin O'Gorman

I have a small number of logins on my gentoo box that I use for
automated chores.
I would prefer that they never have passwords, since they are run
solely by cron jobs.
However, if the login is locked then cron will no longer run the jobs
-- I presume
(without knowing for sure) that it's because of the warning messages
that  are issued
when you 'su' into such a login.

These logins are data gatherers for me, that send emails to other
automated systems
to get information.  They process the answers in various ways for
later harvesting by
other automated processes.

As it is, I have assigned passwords to these accounts, but as I said,
I'd prefer not to.

SO: is there a way to get cron(1) to run jobs for an account whose password is
disabled?  Perhaps by doing something to the shadow file that
passwd(1) would not
do?

I got Java 1.5 to install.  Now the nifty new tools (thanks for eix!)
tell me that 1.5 is all I have.   Of course, when I look in /opt, I get
a different impression of things.  Am I right in surmising that
I have all those old versions, and I just need java-config to point
to various places to get other things to happen?

If so, I'm in good shape, because I just did a user-only config
to 1.5 so presumably 'root' is still using 1.4.2.

 The page loads fast for me with JavaScript disabled (firefox noscript 
 extension).  After I enabled JavaScript for sun.com I experienced the delay 
 that you reported.
 
 Zac

Except I didn't report a delay -- I reported outright failure.  I very
quickly get a dialog reporting
Alert -- Error trying to validate certificate from
sofrwarereg.sun.com using OCSP - directory lookup failure.

I guess it's a local configuration issue, which in Firefox can be very
hard to figure out.  Sigh.

 Yes,  java-config -L will list every installed java vm.  The actual portage 
 database for installed packages is located in /var/db/pkg.
 
 Zac

Great!

Thanks one and all -- this is a good result.

The best part is that under 1.5 a persistent problem I'd been having
with Swing layout managers
has gone away: now when I pack() a JFrame multiple times, I get a
proper layout with no anomalous regions.  (Sample on request).

To me, that's better than the rest of 1.5's features combined!
