[gentoo-user] Cannot recompile KDE programs
Hello! Since recently, I'm unable to recompile any KDE program. For example, I get this error when I try to compile arts 3.4.1: make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/arts-3.4.1/work/arts-1.4.1/flow' ../mcopidl/mcopidl -t ../flow/artsflow.idl ../mcopidl/mcopidl -t ../flow/artsflow.idl make[3]: *** [artsflow.cc] Speicherzugriffsfehler (Segfault) Sadly, I neither know when this problem started nor what I changed at that time. When I run mcopidl manually with sh -x, I see: $ sh -x ../mcopidl/mcopidl [...] + test -f /var/tmp/portage/arts-3.4.1/work/arts-1.4.1/mcopidl/.libs/lt-mcopidl + test '' '!=' '%%%MAGIC variable%%%' + LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/tmp/portage/arts-3.4.1/work/arts-1.4.1/mcopidl/../mcop/.libs:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4: + exec /var/tmp/portage/arts-3.4.1/work/arts-1.4.1/mcopidl/.libs/lt-mcopidl Speicherzugriffsfehler So, it is lt-mcopidl that's segfaulting.

[gentoo-user] [OT!] A new desktop enviornment?
Hey everyone. Please note that this post is OFF TOPIC! With that said: I found this on GNOME-LOOK.org and thought you all may be interested. http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=25009forummode=0forumpage=0forumexplevel=3 Its basically a new DE under development. The author wants a lot of ideas. I personally have emailed and posted a few to him. What are your thoughts? And out of my curiousity, what do you think of that idea I had, to make it extremely similar to Windows Longhorn or better, Mac OS? IMHO Longhorn and OSX look very nice, and sadly with the exception of baghira and kxdocker there aren't very many ways to create an apple look, much less a Longhorn clone. Do you agree?

[gentoo-user] /etc/shadow syntax
I can't seem to find any official documentation on /etc/shadow syntax.

The encryped password consists of 13 to 24 characters from the 64 character alphabet a thru z, A thru Z, 0 thru 9, interpreted. At this point i'm getting pretty frustrated search for documentation.

[gentoo-user] Logitech Duo Mouse resolution
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any success with the Logitech MX700 and 800dpi support? I have tried using the logitech_applet on freshmeat, but it doesn't seem to get on with my Logitch Duo receiver, informing me that the receiver does not support 800dpi. I have followed the howto here ( http://docs.tenshu.net/Logitech-MX-Duo-mini-HOWTO/index.html ) but I don't think that just setting Resolution to 800 in xorg.conf works. Is there a way of telling what resolution the mouse is actually running at? Thanks, Simon -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Granted, you can't just `emerge -upD world` on the copies, but you may get away with minimal effort. You can if you use a shared PKGDIR and add -k to the emerge options. No, I hadn't lookt at this yet, but it seems easy enough, thanks! So it seems I could have one master where I change the configuration and build binary packages along the way, and all the other machines would just run emerge -uDk in a cron job...sounds easy enough. Then I could also get /usr/portage over NFS and wouldn't even have to emerge --sync on the workstations any more, right? Hm...the only remaining problem I can think of right now (I'm sure others will pop up once I try it ;)) is configfile management.

Re: [gentoo-user] photo management
I use Eye of Gnome most of the time but I also like gThumb and earlier tonight I found an interesting app called Pornview which seems very full featured. All three of these apps integrate well with Gnome although I'm not sure if Pornview is in portage as I installed it on a Ubuntu system. Thanks guys, I think I'm going to go with gthumb. My current camera doesn't integrate with gphoto2, but I'm getting a new one that I'm sure will. It looks like gthumb has a gphoto2 USE flag so I can use gthumb now and then integrate it with gphoto2 when I get my new supported camera. Slick. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] /boot and booting...
I agree that trying to size partitions optimally is an annoying chore, but I gather LVM should help with that problem - though I havn't tried it yet. However I disagree about the drive wear argument. Sensible partitioning can be used to reduce seek time by keeping related data together, and more importantly can significantly reduce the drive wear and tear associated with the nightly backups. If rarely changing filesystems are mounted read-only, they don't need to be scanned during the backups, and rebooting is much faster after a crash. For instance, here is a sample entry from my nightly backup script: if mount|grep /usr/local|grep -q read-only ;then echo /usr/local is read-only, no backup required else echo Backing up /usr/local /sbin/mount -u -o rw /backup/local /usr/local/bin/rsync -avH /usr/local/ /backup/local /sbin/mount -u -o ro,nosuid,nodev /backup/local /sbin/mount -u -o ro,nosuid,nodev /usr/local fi In addition, the tape dumps simply are not practical if the hard drive is not partitioned. I try to limit all my partitions to the size of a single tape, which now is 60GB but until recently was 10GB. Of course I can sympathise with with your view that it is always the wrong partition that gets corrupted, but having everything on one partition only makes that more certain. If the root partition is kept small and fairly static, then the chances of not having a runable base from which to repair the rest of the system is greatly reduced. I have also had problems on some modest machines (32MB memory) trying to run fsck on very large partitions when the system is not fully booted.

I recall modularizing most of the stuff I wouldn't need until after the OS is up. Can you suggest what to leave out? I seem to recall a method of formatting a floppy 1,7M. But I didn't see it in man fdformat or man mke2fs. Maybe a boot CD. But that seems like a recipe for making coasters. Well, things like usb, ieee1394, most filesystems (obviously you want to keep ext2/3!), sound, and networking are the obvious choices for becoming modules if they are not already. If you want to post the contents of the kernel config, I will take a look and see if anything pops out at me. The best command for this is probably: grep -v ^# /usr/src/linux/.config | grep =y This will return just those things that are compiled into the kernel, not modules or unselected. I can also give you the instructions for making a bootable CD if you want to try that. It isn't terribly hard, actually it is a bit easier than getting grub to work from a hard disk!

The result should be something like: splashimage=(cd)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Gentoo kernel (cd)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4 Finally, to make the ISO, run (should all be on one line, without the backslashes): mkisofs -o /tmp/cdboot.iso -R \ -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito \ -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ .

I have been published (by a now-defunct magazine, but I still have the original issues in which my work appeared), and I can demonstrably write to spec and on deadline.

I worked for over 10 years in CS in various fields: the CBS television network, a film distribution company, a temporary employment agency (by the name of Personnel Express; if you happen to live in NYC and want to call them, or if you work out of the agency and drop by, tell Stephanie, Paula, Nadine, and Randi--and Gwen if she's still there-- hi for me). I've also done 'undocumented' work in real-estate sales, retail sales, cable television production, telemarketing, and worked as a paralegal in my 18 years of work experience. Most of my CS work was also finance-related-- calculating how much people were getting paid, or how much they were paying us, and explaining to them why the amount was what it was (and making them like it, or at least accept it gracefully). This is probably how I developed the the extreme patience that people on this and other lists have noticed and commented on. Unfortunately, good CS requires exceptional communication skills, and while I am generally considered to speak very good Dutch (I read better than I speak, but probably speak better than I write) for someone who's been here only (now) 5 years, it's just not good enough to do what I do, in the view of employers. In fact, it's not good enough in my own view, either-- because apparently I not only do Customer Service, but I am Customer Service (in the same sense that I am a writer). I find that I treat helping people on forums and mailing lists as if it was my work, and hold my performance to the standards of gainful employment in the Customer Service field.

Digby Tarvin wrote: Personally I only use RAID for non-static filesystems (root changes relatively rarely, and is small, so I just make a fresh backup after any change. In addition I have twice been involved in trying to recover filesystems (thankfully not my own) that have been lost *because* of faulty RAID technology that behaved badly when a disk failed, so I prefer to make regular incremental backups to a second off-site machine as a much safer option. Did I mention I am running RAID0...so yeah, I take the 'make frequent backups' strategy to heart!! ;- I rotate backups to a trio of USB hard disks, that are not stored at the same location, and the most recent one is never more than 48 hours out of date. And as far as cryptograpic filesystems go, I usually only consider it for user filesystems, as the system partitions are open source and can be downloaded freely from the net. If I were really paranoid I suppose I might want to encrypt the shadow password file, but the main threat is hacking while system system is online, and the root partition must be available unencrypted then. An encrypted root partition would also get in the way of automated server recovery if the system crashed while nobody was around. Well, if you have decent physical security of the machine (i.e., a server in a restricted access room, or even a typical desktop machine), then yes, your biggest concern would be over the network. But on my laptop, my biggest risk of data being compromised is if the laptop is stolen. How safe would you feel about an unencrypted /etc/shadow if you left one of those servers sitting outside on the street overnight! Richard's partitioning scheme looks reasonable, except that my understanding of the logic behind the Unix filesystem structure is that none of the files in /usr are needed for booting, so I prefer to keep /usr as a separate mounted partition. The only reason I know of for having both a /bin and a /usr/bin is to separate the basic necesseties needed for booting (/bin) from the ones that are not needed till you go into multi-user mode (/usr/bin). Similarly for /lib vs /usr/lib. As you say, /[s]bin and /usr/[s]bin have different uses...single user vs. multi-user. But I consider 'booting' to be everything that happens between hitting the power switch and getting a login prompt for KDE. Again, probably just a difference in perspective between a server and a desktop/laptop. Also, pretty much all of the stuff in /usr/[s]bin, /usr/kde/*/bin, and so on loads libraries from both /usr/lib and /lib, so it made sense to me that all of this should be on a single partition. P.S. One of the RAID snfau's went as follows: a. company installs card based RAID solution and hence decides it nolonger needs to make backups. b. one of the hard disks fails, system continues running... c. replacement drive is plugged in in place of failed drive, controller proceeds to overwrite the surviving drive with the contents of the new drive, destroying remaining copy of companies data. d. company throws away raid card and goes back to manual backups...

Re: [gentoo-user] /boot and booting...
On 6/5/05, Digby Tarvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Following on from the recent discussions on grub and booting, is there a good reason for having a separate partition for /boot, other than perhaps to overcome BIOS addressing limitations for people with very large root partitions?? A separate /boot partition is more than likely for compatibility with older BIOSes. (You'll notice that other architectures, AFAIK, don't need it.) Some older BIOSes won't see past a certain limit (504 MB, 2.1 GB, 8.4 GB, 33.8 GB, 137 GB) and consequently, depending on your BIOS, if your boot partition extends past that limit or if your kernel image is stored past that limit (when using CHS instead of LBA), your system will be unbootable. Other OSes may observe the 1024-cylinder and/or the 2 GB boot boundaries. The BIOS 1024 cylinder limitation exists because the start and end cylinder values in the partition table, and some BIOSs, have a maximum value of 1024. Because some operating systems such as DOS 6.22 use the CHS (Cylinder, Head, and Sector) values to address sectors on the disk, they cannot access sectors beyond the 1024th cylinder. When you start your computer, the BIOS boots the operating system using the CHS values to locate the first sector of the bootable partition. If the partition starts past the 1024 cylinder, the BIOS may not be able to boot it because it cannot address a cylinder number higher than 1024. Defeat this limitation by using a BIOS with Int13h or LBA support, or by using Linux. :-) The 2 GB boot code boundary exists because, with some older OSes/BIOSes, the CHS value of the beginning boot code sector must be calculated in order to retrieve the sector's information and load and execute the next part of the boot process. Because of the way the boot code is written, the sector value, computed from the CHS value, must fit in a 16-bit register, thus the maximum value that can be kept is 64K. If the number is larger than 64K, the number is truncated, resulting in an incorrect value that skews the remaining calculations. The boot process fails to load and execute the needed sector, thus preventing the OS from booting. Most current hard disks have 63 sectors per track, creating a 64K boot code boundary at 2 GB. If a partition begins or extends beyond this boundary, the CHS value of the partition's boot code sector cannot be correctly calculated; therefore, the partition and its OS cannot boot. AFAIK, this only affects older OSes, like DOS and WinNT 4.0, and BIOSes that aren't set to LBA mode. Like not Linux. :-) (Paraphrased from the PowerQuest PartitionMagic help file. Please don't sue me.) Keeping /boot as a tiny partition at the front of the disk makes sure that your system can boot despite whatever curveball your old software can throw at it. If you're confident that these problems don't affect you, feel free to merge /boot and /. I usually don't do it, but I thought I'd try it out. Once the kernel kicks in, the kernel can do translation so that all of your disk is visible and usable. This is done by compiling in translation or passing hdx=stroke to genkernel kernels (LiveCD's included). Of course, drive overlay software is still an option if that's the way you like it, or if you dual-boot Windows. -- Colin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] /boot and booting...
Hi, I guess that means that you either have smaller disks than me, or a larger tape drive... But assuming you do regular backups, how do you figure out which parts of the filesystem need to be scanned if the static stuff isn't confined to a separate filesystem? What do you use for your tape backpus? I prefer to use 'dump' for my tape backups which really requires backups to be done by filesystem, but I suppose if you use something else the partitioning might be less critical. But I like to use the ability to mount filesytems read-only to make sure that I know where changes have occured. As far as usr/lib is concerned, historically it was not too important except during software development. Putting shared libraries there is comparitively recent, and it does seem a bit questionable to put programs in /[s]bin that use shared libraries in /usr... Perhaps this is the real explanation for the emergence of this 'boot' partition. People that didn't understand that the root filesystem was designed to be a self contained environment for the boot process had introduced interdependencies, so a new 'minimal' filesystem for booting was required. My adherence to the traditional layout means my root partition is independent and under 2M, so I havn't needed a separate '/boot' partition.

A good reason may be security. On some boxes, I have a /boot on separate device, actually a flash disk (compact flash card on one and IDE flash disk on others), and since the flash can be physically locked against write with a jumper, without opening the box the kernel cannot be changed. That means my firewall is allways running only code I intended it to run, among others. Another good reasons are disaster recovery scenario, or a migration of the whole system to the biger disc, or booting several different linux distros or distro versions on the top of single custom kernel (good for developers for library compatibility tests).

Re: [gentoo-user] Entrance (enlightenment) problem
Several questions: Are you selecting a specific WM from the drop-down menu, or are you just using Default? I am not certain that Entrance has/uses a Default setting, wherever it may come from. You'd think from /etc/rc.conf, but heck, GDM doesn't use that to set its default (it asks you, so it has its own config for this somewhere), so maybe Entrance doesn't either (although it never asked me about setting anything as default). Do you have any other WMs installed and listed, and have you tried logging into them instead? Do any of them work, and which ones do not? I've tried not only default but enlightenment and kde (the WMs I have). None worked. I've checked that the database entries correspond with /etc/X11/Session files. If Enlightenment itself is the one that doesn't work, did you previously have e16 installed? I did, and even though e17 very kindly moved the previous enlightenment.desktop item in /etc/X11/Sessions to e16.desktop, neither the e16 entry appeared in the list, nor did choosing Enlightenment start e17. e17 is the first Enlightenment release I install. This turned out to be because the exec line in the Enlightenment.desktop entry was still pointing to /usr/bin/enlightenment, whereas the binary for e17 is named something like enlightenment-0.17 (to distinguish it from the e16 binary). So I changed the exec line in the script, and then it was fine. However I uninstalled both e16 and e17 (I may reinstall e16, which I liked much better), and switched to fvwm anyway. But e17 sure is pretty, can't argue with that. Hope this helps, Holly Thanks for the reply, anyway...

I am not certain that Entrance has/uses a Default setting, wherever it may come from.

Do you have any other WMs installed and listed, and have you tried logging into them instead? Do any of them work, and which ones do not? I've tried not only default but enlightenment and kde (the WMs I have). None worked. I've checked that the database entries correspond with /etc/X11/Session files. If Enlightenment itself is the one that doesn't work, did you previously have e16 installed? I did, and even though e17 very kindly moved the previous enlightenment.desktop item in /etc/X11/Sessions to e16.desktop, neither the e16 entry appeared in the list, nor did choosing Enlightenment start e17. e17 is the first Enlightenment release I install. This turned out to be because the exec line in the Enlightenment.desktop entry was still pointing to /usr/bin/enlightenment, whereas the binary for e17 is named something like enlightenment-0.17 (to distinguish it from the e16 binary). So I changed the exec line in the script, and then it was fine. However I uninstalled both e16 and e17 (I may reinstall e16, which I liked much better), and switched to fvwm anyway. But e17 sure is pretty, can't argue with that. Hope this helps, Holly Thanks for the reply, anyway... Hey Juan, Entrance uses its own config file, /etc/entrance_config.db You'll need to use edb_gtk_ed or some other db editor to edit the file and manually add the sessions to it. Your rc.conf looks fine, but that only tells xdm to launch entrance rather than xdm, kdm, or gdm.

Re: [gentoo-user] Entrance (enlightenment) problem [SOLVED]
I must admit it's quite embarrasing, but now it works... I changed XSESSION to kde-3.4 and now it works, not only kde but also enlightenment I can't realize why it has made it to work, but the fact it's the only thing I've touched...

Re: [gentoo-user] /boot and booting...
Hi, well I have a 120GB drive, splitt into 56GB system, 47GB home, 2GB swap, 15MB /boot and a 'ply around partition' REST. The /-partition will fit fine on a single 35GB DLT, compression on or of does not matter, because / is never really full enough for needing more.. That is why, I just use tar and backup the whole mess on one tape and put it onto the shelves ;) This takes some time, but in cases of a restore, I need a maximum of two tapes (home and /), instead of searching for the inc-backup tapes that have to be somewhere ... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] updated gnome packages to 2.10, missing menus
A few hours ago I ran an emerge sync and an emerge -uva world. A handful of gnome packages went to 2.10 and I logged in and out to see any differences and, well, my applications menu is missing. How do I regenerate that thing?
