Re: [gentoo-user] crypted key for dm-crypt
Hi, Well, I have dm-crypt configured and running. It encrypts tha swap, a loopback for /tmp (with a random key), all this using the standard /etc/conf.d/cryptfs. Now I'd like to encrypt my home with a key instad of a passphrase, place that key on my pen drive after etcrypting it with a key, my questions are: - How do I generate the key ? I have restricted my key to printable letters. So an easy way to generate a key without uuencode or stuff is something like this: cat /dev/random |sed -e s/[^a-zA-Z0-9]//g - How do I en/decrypt it ? Encrypt your just generated key? I thought you wanted to get rid of passphrases. You can use the key like it is to en/decrypt your data by just putting it on you pendrive and doing stuff with cryptsetup: cryptsetup -d KEY-FILENAME ...

(Yes, you said that the remaining filesystems fsck fine, but journalled file systems do not really need to be fully checked, they just need to replay a few journal entries, and fine.) The problem I had here with reiserfs upon an irregular shutdown, was that the root partition mounted okay, replaying several journal entries, but the boot scripts refused to mount the home partition, seemingly because it was uncleanly unmounted. I've sidestepped this by changing the localmount script, to simply explicitly mount the home partition, and now all is fine after a lockup (experiments with a driver): journals get replayed and it boots on. Maybe the scripts are doing something similar wrong for you, but for the root partition, refusing to mount it because it is unclean and it gets confused by the journal?

[gentoo-user] how to control portage space usage
Hi, this is probably an old discussion, sorry for bring it up again. When I joined Gentoo (a few months ago) I got the idea that I could control very well the space that gentoo would require. That would be great because of my 4.6G available to it. Then, not so long time ago I got very surprised with how much less space available I had when I didn't have (almost) anything installed. Now it's completely full and I'm the middle of an emerge :( Well, tears apart, I would like to know if there's a good way to control the space usage of portage, since it is the reason for my problem. My /usr/portage and /var/tmp/portage/ take 2.2G which is almost half of the partition. What I have installed: - some (split) ebuilds of kde 3.4.1 - e16 - e17 - firefox - gimp - acrobat reader 7 - xmms, amsn (and maybe a few more small packages) What I've found until now: - clear /usr/portage/distfiles and /var/tmp/portage after an emerge, or regularly (using tmpreaper) - there are some users-made scripts (still buggy) that look for old ebuilds in portage tree and erases them (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-3011-highlight-portage+space+usage.html ) Any comments/ideas/scripts about this, or everyone has plenty space to spare...

[gentoo-user] Google or Firefox problem?
Over the past few days I've noticed that Firefox is having problems with the + symbol on google. If I do a search for test this The 1st results page is correct. But, if I scroll down to the bottom and click on Next or one of the numbers to go to a certain page, it will only search for the 1st word in the phrase. Here is a screenshot of the problem: http://crystaldawn.net/ff-messingup.png If you take a look, you'll see I searched for test this. I then clicked on the properties for the Page 2 link, and you can see that it clearly shows only this in the search. I just tested this on a Windows machine with FF 1.06, and it does NOT have this problem. So I guess that pretty much rules out FF or Google as the cause. The only thing I can think of is that something is funky with something else. But what that something else is, I have NO idea. Also, I have IE installed with wine, and IE does not have this problem. http://crystaldawn.net/ie-works.png Is anyone else having this same problem? Not being able to go through more than 1 page on google is REALLY terrible. I'd like to find out what is causing this.

Here is a screenshot of the problem: http://crystaldawn.net/ff-messingup.png If you take a look, you'll see I searched for test this. I then clicked on the properties for the Page 2 link, and you can see that it clearly shows only this in the search. I just tested this on a Windows machine with FF 1.06, and it does NOT have this problem. So I guess that pretty much rules out FF or Google as the cause. The only thing I can think of is that something is funky with something else. But what that something else is, I have NO idea. Also, I have IE installed with wine, and IE does not have this problem. http://crystaldawn.net/ie-works.png Is anyone else having this same problem? Not being able to go through more than 1 page on google is REALLY terrible. I'd like to find out what is causing this. Well, I figured it out. Simple cookie problem, clearing cookies seems to have fixed it. I've never encountered a problem like that before with googlieshmooglie. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Cheers, Fernando Hi, Just checking the size of '/usr/portage' and it's quite 3 GB using reiserfs from which 1,4 GB is in 'distfiles' (source code) and 1,2 GB in 'packages' (binary packages in my case) so just portage is around 400 MB here. My '/var/tmp/portage' directory is (~430 MB) together with portage logs which are the most of it (PORT_LOGDIR=). You could erase all of '/var/tmp/portage' and '/usr/portage/distfiles' (you'll have to download the sources again though). Also check if using keepwork in your /etc/make.conf file if 'yes' remove it (specially in case not having disk space, same for buildpkg). For cleaning 'distfiles' i use distclean.py script. Try out emerge depclean -pv but watch out before removing the p afterwards. HTH. Rumen smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Cheers, Fernando As far as I know, that's pretty much what you can do (assuming that the cleaning of /var/tmp/portage occurs when you have a failed emerge as well, since failed emerges leave the temporary work files there until the emerge is either correctly completed, or you delete the files yourself). The thing is, it now depends to some degree on just what you are emerging, because as you fill your disk with emerged programs, and assuming that those programs don't reside on another disk (/usr, /var, /tmp, or /opt on another disk or partition than / ), you will lose the ability to compile certain programs that naturally take up more space than you have available during the emerge process. I'm thinking specifically of OpenOffice.org, which takes about 3GB just to emerge, but I suspect Mozilla and its ilk, and certain KDE programs may not be much better. Not to mention X.org or glibc. But from what you've said, even if /usr/portage/distfiles and /var/tmp/portage are empty, you wouldn't have enough space to emerge OO.o at this time, and possibly other high-end programs as well. Of course, you could just use the openoffice-bin package for that case. But not for every case that this might occur, and frankly, it's a losing proposition (either you have to be constantly on the ball as to how much space every program you want needs to emerge, or you have to give up some stuff). Less than 5GB is really not enough for a Gentoo install unless it's going to be *very* minimal. If I was you, I'd look around for an old 5 or 10 GB disk, slap it in the box and move /usr or /var (probably a better choice) to that, and then mount it to the / partition.

Re: [gentoo-user] how to control portage space usage

Boy, I wish it were that easy! (~) which fsck.jfs /sbin/fsck.jfs The problem I had here with reiserfs upon an irregular shutdown,was that the root partition mounted okay, replaying several journal entries, but the boot scripts refused to mount the home partition,seemingly because it was uncleanly unmounted.I've sidesteppedthis by changing the localmount script, to simply explicitly mountthe home partition, and now all is fine after a lockup (experiments with a driver): journals get replayed and it boots on.Maybe the scripts are doing something similar wrong for you, butfor the root partition, refusing to mount it because it is uncleanand it gets confused by the journal? Perhaps, though I'm not sure how to determine that this is the cause, nor how I would fix it. I have this problem on 3 different Gentoo hosts I run (the only 3 Gentoo hosts I have) so it's not an isolated problem on one machine. Granted, all were setup by me using the guides on gentoo's site, so if I made a mistake I probably did it 3 times. I was going to try the non-genkernel approach and see if that worked any differently, as the grub configuration is quite different. I have examples of other distributions which work fine using jfs in this situation, but those do not use udev and none require the same options that genkernel seems to. Anyways, thanks for the info - if there are any other bits of useful info let me know. I'll continue to fiddle. Aaron
Re: [gentoo-user] NE module, modprobe, etc.
Experience across a number of cards on a number of machines (both running 2.4 and early 2.6 kernels) says otherwise - and its not working so its worth a try! In fact, I cant remember it ever working without the irq option, even if the card uses auto. This brings up another memory - some cards refuse to work under auto, or plugnplay setting (planet I think in my case), I had to force a fixed IRQ with a jumper (nominally the same as the auto seemed to be).

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Apache Virtual Host
Just a note for the future. Whenever you create a virual host that points to a directory you must create a directory container inside of the virual host container that sets up the permissions for the directory otherwise your will always get a 403 error. -MikeOn 8/7/05, q-parser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, that's it!

When I run generate-modprobe.conf, I get the following two lines (among others) in my modprobe.conf: [snip] This is all gentoo 2005.0. I'm brand new to this, so could someone explain to me what is causing the original two lines in the modprobe.conf file, and what file I can edit (and how) to make the modules system do what I want? And the answer I suspect may be running a script called generate-modprobe.conf which I have never heard of. Unless something has changed the script is update-modules on gentoo. generate-modprobe.conf seems to come from module-init-tools and update-modules from baselayout. I suspect that the former is generic and the latter specific to gentoo. -- Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Be that as it may, if you check my original post, you'll see that (after hacking the config files manually) I was able to run modprobe ne io=0x300 and the module would load, without specifying the IRQ setting. Aside from that, the original problem wasn't that I couldn't load the module. I could, but only _if_ I hacked the config files manually, in a way you weren't supposed to do. So the original question was how to hack them _correctly_ to make the load occur _automatically_. Paul -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] suspend2 and /dev/ permissions
Hi All, I am using suspend2 kernel 2.6.12-r4. After coming out from hibernation my permissions on some /dev deivices is lost, for e.g i have to be root to burn a CD or use my tv-card or i have to su and change the permissions on those devices... Why is this happening... Also is there a way in hibernate script or otherwise to restore the /dev/ permissions and not lose them Thanks Kumar -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
