[gentoo-user] apache 2.4 - .htaccess IP's limit

2021-02-09 Thread thelma
Does apache 2.4 have a limit of how many individual entries like: " Require not 
ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xx" 
I can have in Apache .htaccess file?

I have over 500-subnets and I've notices some IP's are being blocked even 
though they are not on the list.

I see, so instead of going around and calling .xinitrc from .bash_profile 

why not call  startxfce4 directly from .bash_profile

Instead of: 
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then exec startx; fi

start as:
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then exec startxfce4; fi

It should work.

emerging xsm start something but not my xfce4.  
Gentoo wiki does not mention anything how to start xfce4 with lightdm

[gentoo-user] lightdm - keeps looping

2021-02-08 Thread thelma
The slim is no longer maintain, so I tried "lightdm" but when I try to login, 
it keeps looping, I'm back into login screen.
I can post a log-file but it is long.

Any suggestion.

Somehow you manged to unmerged the kernel in use, re-emerge it again: 
linux-4.19.72-gentoo (and set it as default) 
and try to recompile again.

 What do you suggest?
 I was planning to get away from "slim" as I think it is getting more
 unstable; I just need a simple system to start X, log-in over ssh and
 use x2go session.

OK, according to Gentoo-wiki:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Start_X_on_login

 ~/.bash_profile
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then exec startx; fi
The above command works.

with: 
~/.xinitrc 
exec startxfce4

Both ssh and x2go sessions (both: connect to local desktop and XFCE) work 
correctly.

Maybe I wasn't clear.  No, I don't start any X over ssh.

When I'm directly in front of the PC and I have a log-in screen and type user 
ID + passwords 
I was under impression that "startxfce4" would run automatically when from 
.xinitrc
~/.xinitrc  
exec startxfce4

but it doesn't, when I log-in the XFCE4 is not starting automatically, I have 
to type manually: startxfce4

What do you suggest?
I was planning to get away from "slim" as I think it is getting more unstable; 
I just need a simple system to start X, log-in over ssh and use x2go session.

I removed startx from .bash_profile and put in: ~/.xinitrc  "exec startxfce4"  
and I was under impression that xfce4 will start automatically when I log-in 
but instead I get a user command prompt and have to type:
startxfce4 
But now ssh login works and x2go-session works as well.

So why isn't startxfce4 starts automatically, what am I missing?

unmerging "sys-auth/passwdqc" and compile "sys-auth/pambase" without "passwdqc" 
 solved the problem

What changing one need to make to force gentoo log-in to accept simple password.
The system is not a high security risk so I have no need for a sophisticated

I think it has to do something with file: /etc/pam.d/system-auth

It is working now.  I login (crated XFCE) session via x2go and I think one need 
to first log-in as user, and make any changes in XFCE interface; and now loging 
via x2to session will work using XFCE auto-mounting.

I'll revive this topic.  I have it working on one of my system but on my other 
(new system as well) auto-mounting in XFCE4 is not working,
I have in n XFCE under:
 - Removable Drivers and Media: --> Mount removable drives when hot-plugged 
(checked) 

user is in "wheel, usb" group.

When I plug the usb device the XFCE is trying to auto-mount the usb as the 
message is popping up but it keeps telling me: Authentication is required for 
mounting external /dev/sda1

Why it worked on one system but not on another?  
What is missing?

[gentoo-user] Blank screen when re-logged IN

2021-01-29 Thread thelma
I have a recent Gentoo installation and I'm experiencing strange behaviour.  I 
don't know if it has something to do with the hardware (video card) or software 
issue.
Video card is:  GeForce GTX 1050
I'm using "nvidia" video driver. 

Sometimes when I log-out and try to log-in back, all I get is black screen with 
mouse cursor pointer showing but the screen is black, nothing is displaying.
How to trouble shoot it? 
It only happens when I "log-out" and try to "log-in" back.

The only thing I can do is to ssh from another terminal and "reboot" the PC.

Thank you for correcting me.  I reverse the setting in sudoers.

I had the sys-fs/udisks and xfce-extra/thunar-volman installed so I enable in 
XFCE under:
- Removable Drivers and Media: --> Mount removable drives when hot-plugged.

It solved the problem.

[gentoo-user] mounting USB without root password

Can someone refresh my memory how to mount USB as user without entering root 
password.

I was about to mount it normally user (without root password) but after I 
reboot the PC (I did not upgrade) it keep asking me for root password.
Nothing was changed.  
So why all of a sudden system is asking me for root password when mounting USB?
I'm using xfce.

It has something to do with EFI.  
I did not configure the system to use EFI with grub.  When the system boots the 
fonts on the screen are large.  It display on the screen everything up the 
point:
...
mounting misc binary format filesystem   . [OK]

at this point the fonts are changed and the screen is not not displaying 
anything it looks like it is frozen and the is no "login" prompt.
When I enable XDM the boot login shows up and I can long-in via "slim" login 
manager.

In make.conf:
...
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
 
Does it have something to do with "x11-base/xorg-server"  or "nvidia" driver?
How to configure the system so it will display/switch the fonts during boot on 
the screen?

You are correct here, this was my mistake, it should be (it was late at night

grub-install /dev/nvme0n1   (now it works)

not:
grub-install /dev/nvme0n1p2

Do you have access to their kernel .config file? If so just compile them IN and 
test it, make a backup of the current /boot kernel. 
 I would say these should be compiled into the kernel.  The first two are not 
compiled into my kernel and the third option is missing (no I'm not using 
docker)

Yes, it works.  Gentoo wiki did not get updated, in addition I was copying 
configuration from previous kernel that I just installed a month ago or so.  
It is hard o catch all the changes during updates.

In kernel-5.4.80-gentoo-r1 
CONFIG_DRM_VBOXVIDEO is not set

need to be set for VirtualBox.
The strange part is that this setting is not enable in: kernel-5.4.72-gentoo

and VirtualBox is working and I never got any error messages like this when 
compiling kernel-5.4.72-gentoo

THANK YOU! It is working.
Does placement of the name make a difference?

vs.
127.0.0.1   localhost  syscon3  syscon3.domain.tld

No, I did not rebooted the system. Do I need to?
I can not pin it down which file/setting it is.  

When I receive emerge notice from my new system, both of them have "...merged 
on localhost.localdomain" instead of "hostname" eg. syscon3 syscon7 etc.

I think that might have been the case, I run emerge second time and it compiled 
just fine.
Maybe I will switch to "rust-bin", thanks for suggestion.  Why do we need it, 
is it part of "system-bootstrap"?

[gentoo-user] fstab mount /home by default

2021-01-17 Thread thelma
On one of my system I have in fstab:
/dev/sda4   /home   ext4noatime 0 1
and /home is mounted by default 

On my new installation, I have in my fstab:
/dev/sda5   /home   ext4noatime 0 1

but on new installation /home doesn't mount by default, why?

On new installation, I created a user without "-m" 
useradd  -G users,wheel,audio -s /bin/bash thelma

added to fstab: 
/dev/sda5   /home   ext4noatime 0 1

but it doesn't mount by default.
xfce4 created new entry in /home  /thelma
so I deleted the entry /thelma but manual mounting:  mount /dev/sda5 /home
does not create directory /thelma manually under /home

When I mount manually /dev/sda5  /home all data is there but but trying login 
as user "X" gets a black screen now.
How to get back "X"

When I ssh and try to start it manually I get:
Fatal server error:
(EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 8 (Permission denied)

1.) One Gentoo PC (that is about 20-30meters away from the switch) negotiated 
the speed of only 100 despite being capable of doing 1000.
I'll have to buy a new switch and make a new CAT5e cable to test it.
But but it will take some time.

2.) The two Gentoo PC that are meters away from the switch are my concern firs.
One is a server, another small PC run 24/7 and both negotiated speed of 1000 
with the switch.

I have to re-test the transfer speed between these to boxes first, and check to 
light on the switch if it is green and/or orange

On a remote network there are 5-pcs 
- two of them are Windows PC
- 3-pcs are Gentoo 

I was just testing Getnoo PC's
One small PC is about 20-30meters away from the switch and connected by CAT5 
(or CAT5e)
that PC is network card is capable of 1000-speed according to "ethtool" but 
negotiated the speed of 100 according to:
/sys/class/net/enp4s0/speed

The 2-PCs closer to the switch, negotiated the speed of 1000 according to:
/sys/class/net/enp/speed

I have to check (this week) if they are both connected directly to a switch and 
or firewall Ausus RT-AC66U and the light on the switch. 
I'll check out/investigate the use of "net-misc/iperf" to check the speed.

The fact that I'm logged via ssh over VPN to a remote network should not have 
any influence over network speed.
I just made a loop:
Network A ==> Internet ==> Network B  
ssh back to Network A over internet and run "rsync" I got same speed (as if I 
run the command locally) on Network A 112MB/s  

So the limiting factor is somewhere else.

I ssh over VPN to remote computers and run "rsync" there.  Will it effect the

The computers on this network are 2-meters apart and they both use SSD Drive 
(so USB limitation doesn't come under consideration).
Like I said, on my home network when I transfer the 24GB file I get about 
110MiBps transfer, so I was expecting the same in remote location).
Some units are connected to a router Ausus RT-AC66U B1 but these ports are 
gigabit too.

Asus routers don't have capabilities to block external IP's (I need to find a 
better router).
Blocking that IP range in apache works, all the IPs I blocked are getting 403 
error (regardless what they type) 
but you might be right, apache 2.4 
 SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "45\.93\.201\.104" dontlog  (does not work). 

I wish they design blocking by country easier.

I did block this IP and it is working 
Require not ip 45.93.201.0/24

I hardly resolve to blocking IP from log files, but if they try to ping/access 
your network 4 or 5 per second your log files will tend to grow. 
SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "45\.93\.201\.104" dontlog
didn't work.
 
Just today from about 7am to 4pm about 96K pings from this IP.

Can you elaborate pls.?
My current "home" is in "/"; so why move it there, it is already there.  
I don't have extra disk around, but I could copy /home over network to another 
PC.

I was planning to move "home" to another partition as I plan to wipe old 
installation (it is impossible for me to upgrade); it will be easier to 
reinstall.
My old installation is: 
Portage 2.3.24 (python 3.5.4-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop, 
gcc-6.4.0, glibc-2.25-r10, 4.9.72-gentoo x86_64)

Since, old installation has home or "/" (root) partition, if I wipe the root, 
home will be gone as well.  So I was planning on moving "home" to another 
partition, this way all data will be there.
So, after moving "home" to another partition "sda5" I can wipe the "sda4" and 
re-install gentoo.  "home" data would not be touched by upgrade. 




[gentoo-user] resizing and moving home directory to new partition on save drive

2021-01-10 Thread thelma
I want to move /home directory to a new partition (save drive). 

I have 1-SSD drive:
Filesystem  Size  Used Avail Use% 
/dev/sda4   916G  405G  464G  47% /  


Home directory is on it taking about 360GB

I was planning doing it in stages.

Stage-1
Using Gparted to resize "/" portion shirk it to about 450GB
create new ext4 partition  for /home /dev/sda5

Boot-strap the PC with live-gentoo 
mv /home /home.org
mkdir /home
mount ext4 /dev/sda5 /home/

cp -rp /home.org/*  /home/

edit fstab:
/dev/sda5   /home   ext4default  0  0
reboot and test home

Am I missing something?
If everything works, remove /home.org

Stage-2:
With Gparted resize both root and home portion, giving root about 200GB and 
rest to /home (dev/sda5)

No, it was on a local computer. 
I restore emails from old computer (lost one day of emails) and now it is 
working. But I don't know what had happened.
I've tried to restore only specific folders "Drafts" from old computer but it 
did not help, so it must have had something to do with other configuration. 
I've notices others had similar issues but solution is not standard across as 
TB has different menu layout through out platforms and versions.   They are 
making it hard to configure it.
As an example is a line wrapping, and old version of TB had this under "Option" 
menu (I think); now they hide it it some obscure configuration menu under "Edit 
--> Preferences --> General)

Adding:

solved the problem, the error message went away, but I'm puzzled why these

I was able to make it to work by compiling some additional codec in kernel but 
I can not store the alsa letting:

alsamixer 
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/1000) is not owned by us (uid 0), but by uid 1000! 
(This could e.g. happen if you try to connect to a non-root PulseAudio as a 
root user, over the native protocol. Don't do that.)

What to do with it?

Looking at FAQ in:
https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/wiki/ModSecurity-Frequently-Asked-Questions-(FAQ)

Should I initially set the SecRuleEngine to On?

No. Every Ruleset can have false positive in new environments and any
new installation should initially use the log only Ruleset version or if
no such version is available, set ModSecurity to Detection only using
the SecRuleEngine DetectionOnly command. After running ModSecurity in a
detection only mode for a while review the evens generated and decide if
any modification to the rule set should be made before moving to
protection mode.

[gentoo-user] Manifest local ebuild - bump version

2020-12-17 Thread thelma
How bump version and manifest local ebuild.
I copied  barcode-0.99.ebuild to local/portage and tired to bump version
 mv barcode-0.99.1.ebuild
ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-text/barcode/barcode-0.99.1.ebuild manifest

but when I try to manifest it, it can not find barcode-0.99.1.tar.gz (it
doesn't exist).

I was trying to apply this patch to current version:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-barcode/2020-01/txtvoVMhO66kP.txt

I can manifest (with the patch) current version: barcode-0.99.ebuild
but renaming it after manifesting won't work, it complain about Manifest
mismatch.
I was trying to bump the version, so I can distinguish local from the
official one.

If I keep the version the same, how to point emerge to "local/portage".
Do I unmerge the official one and keep the one in local/portage?
