BLFS 6.2 and LFS 6.3
First of all. great stuff! This is the most interesting experience i have had with Linux. Question. Is the BLFS 6.2 book ok to use with LFS 6.3 or should I wait for the BLFS 6.3 book.

Re: BLFS 6.2 and LFS 6.3
for me the combination of lfs-6.2 and svn-blfs-book gave me problems because of the kernel headers being too old for hal. lfs-6.3 with recent blfs-books gave me no problems so far.

Use the development BLFS book. 6.2 is really long in the tooth and will have some slight incompatibilities with LFS-6.3. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Re: Weirdness in gdm shutdown

The number of gdm-related bugs that've been reported in the past was rather surprising to me, as was the nature severity of them (some sounded an awful lot like what you're experiencing - not exactly, but close). Yeah, I didn't think of searching for bugs in 2.19, so I ended up logging a duplicate. The problem has been around since August, but since the system does eventually shut down (except for those of us who put typos in out bootscripts which causes them to wait for a CR keypress:-) it can't be described as high priority. If this had happened a year ago, I might have taken a look at the code. Now, I don't have the time. From here, it looks like something has changed the behaviour (it didn't used to restart X), but if the maintainer is ok with that then I'll just use an older version for the moment. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Problem with ftp access
Hi. I have an annoying problem with my new LFS box (LFS SVN post 6.3, BLFS SVN) : Everything is working quite OK...except ftp. When I want to connect to an ftp server, everything goes OK until I want to dir a directory : ftp ls 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. 425 Failed to establish connection. Same problem with the ftp program from cpan, I guess, for I can only retreive packages with wget or lynx. With Firefox and Konqueror, ftp is fine. Ncftp works fine, so I think it's a specific problem from the core ftp program installed in LFS. How can I trace this problem to it's origin ? Thanks for any help. \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS http://nicolas.francois.free.fr A TRUE Klingon programmer does NOT comment his code -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Numlockx can't find X
Hi. While installing numlockx (a little tool to have numlock on just after boot under xdl or kdm), I uncouter problems in the configure process : checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! There's a mention in the BLFS book (I use Xorg 7.2) that installing X in /usr is no problem for allmost all packages. I created the /usr/X11R6 symlink, with no effect. My KDE is in /opt/kde, maybe it has something to do with it. I inspected the configure script, but it's kind of chinese for me (and french people are ESPECIALLY bad in chinese !). Can someone help me on this one ? \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS http://nicolas.francois.free.fr A TRUE Klingon programmer does NOT comment his code -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

The offender is the K_PATH_X macro in acinclude.m4 which is totally unnecessary because there's already a default autoconf macro for finding X. Try adding x_includes=/usr/include x_libraries=/usr/lib to the end of your ./configure command. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I don't have any ideas, but I would try strace. http://sourceforge.net/projects/strace/ strace -f -o ftp.log ftp Then just do what you normally do. There will be a lot of output in ftp.log, hopefully something will point you in the right direction. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
