[gentoo-user] [OT] Filenames with special ch aracters (äöü€¶) on SMB share of Linkstation HD-HLAN250
Hello! I've got a Buffalo Linkstation HD-HLAN250. This is a consumer NAS device, which makes the built-in HD accessible via SMB and FTP. On that system, some sort of Linux with some sort of Samba is running. I'm now trying to create filenames with special characters (ie. non-ASCII chars) in it. For example blöder name (means stupid name). To get access to the share on that NAS device, I added the following line to my local /etc/fstab: //HD/share /HD/TESTsmbfs noauto,credentials=/local/conf/hd-credentials,uid=guest,gid=users,fmask=0775,dmask=0775,workgroup=EUROPE,rw,lfs,iocharset=utf8,codepage=cp850 0 0 Now I created a file with name blöder name on it: $ touch /HD/TEST/blöder\ name That filename gets created just fine and Linux sees it just fine: $ ls -la /HD/TEST/bl*me -rwxrwxr-x 1 guest users 0 6. Nov 10:46 /HD/TEST/blöder name But when I use Windows XP to access the share, the filename is all messed up - it's shown as blöder name instead. That's not correct :) Also, when I create blöder name from Windows, only Windows sees filename intact. Linux ls shows it as: $ ls -la /HD/TEST/bl*win* -rwxrwxr-x 1 guest users 0 6. Nov 10:48 /HD/TEST/bl?der windows name Note the ? after bl and before der. That's not correct either :) I also tried to mount that share using cifs as fs-type instead of smbfs with the following line in /etc/fstab: //HD/share /HD/TEST2 cifs noauto,credentials=/local/conf/hd-credentials,uid=guest,gid=users,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,domain=EUROPE,rw,setuids,noperm,mapchars,soft,serverinoi,iocharset=utf8 0 0 But that's even worse... With this, not even Linux can see the special characters fine: $ touch /HD/TEST2/blöder\ cifs\ name $ ls -la /HD/TEST2/bl*cifs*name -rwxrwxr-x 1 guest users 0 6. Nov 10:51 /HD/TEST2/bl ?der cifs name And in Windows, that name shows up as bl Âder cifs name. That's also not correct :) In the Basic Setup of the LS, I set ISO8859-15 as the character code. I can only chose between some cp codepages (cp850, cp437, ...) and iso8859-1, iso8859-15 and some other ISOs. cp850, iso-8859-1 and iso-8859-15 are the only options relevant for me (ie. I don't care about eg. japanese characters). The HD-HLAN only offers SMB and FTP access; ie. no NFS :( How do I have to setup everything, so that I can use non-ASCII characters from every OS and that they show up correctly everywhere (ie. a ö has to be shown as ö everywhere and not as ö or Â)?

If it's the whole data stream then it's not going to work well. Well, in order to log the traffic, you'll have to intercept it. Probably, a text filtering firewall looking for --dport 80 and HTTP/1. at the start of the packet would suffice. You can even use a firewall to make your proxy into a transparent proxy - i.e., all traffic is intercepted at network level and redirected through the proxy. This only works if the firewalling computer is at router level. Maybe another idea would be to just sniff the WLAN in monitor mode and use a packet filter to match TCP:80/HTTP packets. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Many thanks in advance, I'm not sure if this is the answer, since I've not seen that error, but I have had many errors based on the fact that my overlay ebuild was not placed in the same tree structure as Portage -- and it does rather sound like that's what this error is saying. For example, let's say you make an alternative ebuild for... (make something up)... mplayer. The overlay ebuild would have to be placed in (assuming your overlay is /usr/local/portage) /usr/local/portage/media-video/mplayer/mplayer-whatever.ebuild If you placed it in /usr/local/portage/media-video/mplayer-whatever.ebuild, or /usr/local/portage/mplayer/mplayer-whatever.ebuild you would get an error, because the Portage tree structure is /portage/directory/category/packagename/package-ver.sion.ebuild Any other format will not be recognized, and you will get one of a variety of errors. So I would first suggest that you make sure your ebuild is correctly placed in the correct tree structure, and then I would digest it by full path, rather than from within the directory, as you seem to be doing. Afaik, the syntax of the ebuild command requires the full path, even if you're at the correct location. Hope this helps, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Unknown service running on port 859/tcp
I was doing my usual run through of checking to make sure there weren't any unnecessary (or unauthorized) services/ports in use, and after running nmap I found that port 859/tcp was open. Now, I have iptables setup, so no inbound traffic is being allowed on that port. But I'm curious as to what could be listening on that port. I ran a netstat -pan, here's the relevant results: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:859 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - Several google searches didn't return much concerning that port, except a tool called Amanda (which I did have at one time but unmerged it).

So if we assume that it means exactly what it says, where does that get us? /usr/local/portage does not seem to have a valid PORTDIR structure very clearly says that the overlay must have a structure identical to PORTDIR; your portdir *is* /usr/portage, is it not? Assuming that it is, then you have replicated this structure in /usr/local/portage for this ebuild-- but there are three possible holes in this 'theory' such as it is. One is that you are trying to digest the ebuild from within the directory, rather than from, say, /usr/local. It is remotely possible that this is not a good idea, since the overlay tree should possibly not be the current working directory (as I suggested before). Second is that you're using sudo. I find many anomolies in sudo; mostly revolving around it not being a 'real' login shell, but some kind of weird spawned shell process that doesn't necessarily transfer all variables and/or permissions, depending on settings. You might try again, using su - -c instead of sudo to get root privileges. Third is that there's a problem with your ebuild, which also uses the PORTDIR variable. It is possilbe that your ebuild is incorrectly using this variable and not using a 'valid' PORTDIR. I'm not much of an ebuild writer, but you might want to go over it with a fine-toothed comb to make sure that this error isn't reporting an anomaly in the ebuild it's trying to read, rather than Portage, and is just poorly expressing that (it happens).

[gentoo-user] OT - ORT invisible
Hi, I am trying to set up a website for my father and wanted to use a free hosting service here in France (1 gig space + php + mysql, no ads - so not to be sniffed at!). I have got myself a domain name (for me not him, but it is just for testing...) and am trying to work out whether it is possible to make it so that the user doesn't see the fact that it is on a free host. I am using the redirection provided by my dns service to point to a directory on the free site (http://antonovich.free.fr/DerekMelser). When I put the url http://www.antonmelser.org into the url bar it does indeed take me there... but clicking on the links on the page keeps the same thing there (eg, the link http://antonovich.free.fr/DerekMelser/journal/recent.html), which means still http://www.antonmelser.org. That would be OK but unfortunately even when I click on a link to an external site the http://www.antonmelser.org stays there... not so nice!

When I put the url http://www.antonmelser.org into the url bar it does indeed take me there... but clicking on the links on the page keeps the same thing there (eg, the link http://antonovich.free.fr/DerekMelser/journal/recent.html), which means still http://www.antonmelser.org.

But, could you try an equery check openoffice, and see if it reports any problems? I remember that when I compiled OOo2, it took over 3Gb of space in /var, and my /usr/lib/openoffice directory is using 228M. Maybe you ran out of disk space at some point during the merge, which is why you are missing files??? -Richard I don't understand: if it run out of space, how comes the package marked as installed. I have about 3.8G free hdd space though. Well, it should have failed...but it is the only explanation I can think of that would account for why you are missing libraries, other than filesystem corruption and the libraries being moved to lost+found. My guess is 3.8G is close to being enough, but not quite, because you must have room for the compiled sources plus an install template (~225M), plus the installed files (~225M). Also, I don't have an exact figure on the amount of space necessary to build OOo, since I wasn't paying very close attention, but I do know that it was well over 3G. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ equery check openoffice [ Checking app-office/openoffice-2.0.0 ] * 880 out of 880 files good Hmm, I think there is something bad here. My check of openoffice shows 2674 files. I doubt such a huge difference can be attributed to USE flags. I think I can try compile with your USE flags later. Unless you want to merge large parts of KDE as well, I wouldn't! ;-) But you might try to free up some space and build again. Deleting old distfiles is usually enough to free up a gigabyte or so. Also, remember that with ext3, running out of inodes is just as bad as running out of space, so if you use ext3, you might want to make sure you have plenty available with dumpe2fs -h | grep 'Free inodes'. The sources are nearly 10 files, so I would say that 15 available inodes should be sufficient for an OOo build. Of course, you could also just merge the -bin and be done with it. :-) -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Actually, I don't hate sudo at all; I use it all the time, and it saves a lot of difficulty. I just get annoyed because I, in my ignorance, generally expect it to act like a super su, and it doesn't-- in fact, it's something else by design, but I don't know enough about the underlying design and the reasons for it, to not fall into the mistaken assumption if I attempt to use sudo on the fly, as it were. Which ultimately means that I have to either set sudo up very carefully, or pay very close attention when using it on the fly, or use an alternative, and two out of three of those choices obviate my reason for using sudo, which is to be able to perform certain root functions *quickly*, without breaking stride in the overall operation I'm performing. For example, I get the mail saying what updated packages I have available, I run a --pretend emerge, am not happy with the USE flags, and so want to change them, meaning I have to edit root-only files. I can run nano using either su or sudo, but either way I have to input a password (under normal circumstances), and the passwords aren't the same, meaning I have to think about something else (am I running su or sudo, and which one uses which password), which is a distraction from the job at hand. So unless I set sudo (and in fact ~/.bashrc) up to not interrupt the flow of my main activity (which I have taken some pains to do), sudo is no better than su -- and the fact that sudo does not do some things that su - does (unless explicitly set up to do them), just makes the situation worse. But I assume that this is most likely because I'm using sudo for purposes that it can handle, but are not strictly within its design parameters naturally the fit is not perfect. I'm sure that if I was a server admin, using sudo to manage root access privileges in defined areas for defined groups, it would be a much smoother ride. The fact that a coin can unscrew a screw, but is not the best or most comfortable tool to do so, is no reflection on the coin, nor the screw. In fact, I'm just glad that the coin can do double-duty.

Hi, I have an ATI radeon 9200 graphic card. I use the 6.8.2 Xorg (latest x86 stable) with the radeon driver. My xorg.conf (here attached) seems OK to me, it loads dri, glx and has the 0666 permissions set in section DRI. But I have no direct rendering... I managed to live with it for a while, but now I'd like to see what's wrong and fix it. I checked the logs (attached here too) and what concerns me is the following section: [...] drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: Open failed [drm] failed to load kernel module radeon (II) RADEON(0): [drm] drmOpen failed (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed.

This ensures that the only program dealing with the proprietary format of the .pst files is Outlook itself - once Outlook passes the message across to the IMAP server then that'll store the messages in a standard mailbox format like maildir or mbox. It may take quite some time to copy all the files across the network onto the server but - blindly confident in Outlook's ability to talk to a standard IMAP server - I really believe this to be the cleanest way. If this isn't an option then take a look at net-mail/libpst - I used this or something similar a number of years ago to export some thousands of messages from Outlook Express to mbox and it seemed to mostly work. I say _mostly_ because I believe there were some messages that got garbled, losing (I think) the date or some other header information. Not only is the format of .pst files hideously complicated and binary, but it also changes between versions of Outlook - 2000 may not open an Outlook 2003 .pst file, for instance. Due to the quantity nature of the messages you're dealing with it's hard to audit a conversion like this - this is why my preference is to get Outlook to do the donkey work on files of this format, rather than a 3rd-party tool.

I remember doing this a long time ago... I think I installed the Mozilla suite on the Windows box, and used Mozilla Mail to import the Outlook files. I seem to remember that Mozilla on Windows can make use of Outlook's own PST handling DLLs or something, as the Mozilla on Windows provides this import from Outlook/PST, while Mozilla on Linux does not. Once the emails are imported into Mozilla Mail, copy the actual mail directory (something like C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Mozilla\Mail\ - you'll need to have a bit of a search) to the Linux box, and use the KMail import options to process it.

Thanks again
Sorry for things being out of order, but you top-posted. The answer
to your first question is below.
The /^CLOCK=/ is NOT necessary, in this instance, and may actually
cause problems if you're not 100% sure of your regular expression. It
is there, simply because I was expanding your original pattern. What
this does, though, is it tells sed to match the line with the regular
expression before making any substitutions and/or replacements. Say
for example, you had 2 lines in the same file with different values
but similar structure, and you only wanted to change one of them.
Let's go with the example you used. Let's assume that our example
file looks something like this:
# This is a comment
CLOCK=foo1
# This is another comment
TIMEZONE=GMT
# This is yet another comment
CLOCK=${CLOCK}foo2
So, let's say that you wanted to change the second instance. The
/^CLOCK=/ tells sed to ignore all lines that do NOT begin with
'CLOCK='. So the comments ( # This is a comment ) and the 'TIMEZONE'
directive will be ignored. Actions will only be taken on the lines:
CLOCK=foo1
CLOCK=${CLOCK}foo2
...because they match the expression we gave sed as an address (
/^CLOCK=/ ). We would furthur specify how to change that line by our
search and replace command (as described below):
s/^\(CLOCK=\\)\${.*}\(\.*\)$/\1foo3\2/
It is important to note here that the left and right brace characters
( { } ) are not escaped. If they were, they would have been handled
as metacharacters, which produces a drastically different result.
If you really want to get to know sed (and awk), I HIGHLY recommend
getting the 2 O'reilley books: Sed Awk, and Mastering Regular
Expressions. Both of these two books have taught me almost everything
I know on the matter, and I refer to them frequently.

I will try to answer both of your questions with this one email.
The '\1' takes the first element, or element group, captured by the
parentheses metacharacters ( \( \) ) and uses it as a variable. The
variable '\0', as you found out, represents the entire contents of the
pattern space or basically, the entire line since you're matching
beginning ( ^ ) to end ( $ ). The variable '\0' is also synonymous
with the ampersand metacharacter ( ). So, if you want to change the
value of the CLOCK variable in /etc/conf.d/clock, while leaving any
comments intact, you could do something like this:
sed 's/^\(CLOCK=\\).*\(\.*\)$/\1foo2\2/' /etc/conf.d/clock
This matches and captures the contents of the first set of
parentheses, and places it into a variable accessible by '\1'. Then
it matches 0 or more of any character type, until it matches a literal
double-quote ( \ ). Then it matches and captures the contents of the
second set of parentheses, and places it into a variable accessible by
'\2'. So, to change the value, you would issue a substitution command
( s/// ) which matches the first set and replaces it with the second
set. The variables '\1' and '\2' are interpolated, so the values
captured are printed. I.e. the result should be:
was:
CLOCK=foo1 # some comments here
now:
CLOCK=foo2 # some comments here

Hi,
I'm learning about the use of the sed command and I have some
questions. I'm
trying to read in /etc/conf.d/clock the CLOCK variable with:
sed '/^CLOCK=*$/p' /etc/conf.d/clock
This command, in principe, must print in screen the line that
contains
CLOCK= in the begin, contains anything between double quotes and
ends.
Well,
this doesn't return anything. If I enter the above command without $,
all is
ok. But, if I would like to return just that line contains
CLOCK=anything
and nothing more? For example,
No it doesn't. What you want is the regexp ^CLOCK=.*$ if you want
anything (including nothing) between the double quotes, or
^CLOCK=.+$ if you want something (excluding nothing) between the
double quotes.
The reason that removing the trailing $ worked is that it matched the
CLOCK= part, the * character specifies 0 or more iterates of the
previous character, which is
HTH

Also, as you pointed out, lines with trailing comments would not be
returned
Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Accessing Linux filesystems from Windows with Crossmeta
Noone's interested in this? Are you kidding me? ;-) Well, in the end I got this thing running and I now have read and *write* access to an XFS partition from Windows. If someone else want's to give it a try I have a couple of suggestions: 1. After installing the core server and the add-on filesystems reboot your machine anyway. 2. The cxvfs services will not be loaded automatically afterwards - which is good because it allows you to make a copy of the rootfs.img file created during the installation process. Why? Because I had faced a couple of blue screens during the test phase when trying to restart cxvfs services and unmounting partitions. Not hard reproducable though. After such a failure the cxvfs server wants you to fschk rootfs.img which simply does not work somehow. Does not matter - rootfs.img is just an entry point to your actual Linux partition. 3. To mount your stuff use a script like this: @echo off if exist v:\ goto :DONE e: cd \programme\crossmeta copy /y rootfs.img.org rootfs.img net start cxvfsmgr net start xfs set path=%path%;e:\programme\crossmeta\v-drive\bin mount -a mount -t xfs -o ro /dev/da0s3 /mnt :DONE Where E: is the drive where Windows resides, rootfs.img.org is a virgin rootfs.img as mentioned in 2., /dev/da0s3 is my /dev/hda4 and finally e: \programme\crossmeta\v-drive is a copy of the content of V:\ - i.e. the virtual drive that cxvfs creates when loaded. Stabilitiy? I neither do need the write capability nor the NFS server emulation. I only tested write access once - which worked - but can't say anything about reliablility. What I do is mounting foreign partitions on demand, retrieving data I need and leaving them mounted until I shut down Windows. For that crossmeta didn't give me any headaches yet. Have fun!

Yesterday I stumbled over this project Crossmeta at http://www.crossmeta.com/ that claims nothing less but having developed Windows filesystem drivers for EXT, XFS, Reiser and so forth. I immediatley downloaded everything that is there to download (for free) but having difficulties to get it run. Unfortunately after googling around for a bit I am not quite sure in what shape this project actually is. So I'm wondering if there's someone out there who is willing and able to help me out. To the problem: I strictly followed the instructions in crossmeta_jumpstart.pdf and everything installed fine so far. What I don't understand are the procedures one has to perform to mount an existing Linux XFS partition. It looks as if you'd only have to run something like mount -t extfs /dev/daxxx /mnt in a DOS-box but the only thing I get is mount: /mnt and dmesg shows a couple of XFS related errors although I properly installed the filesystem add-ons - xfs.sys and the others are there.

[gentoo-user] Abysmally slow 2D performance using proprietary Nvidia driver on dual Xeon system (EMT64)
Greetings, I have been trying to fix a somewhat puzzling and annoying problem over the last couple of months that has me absolutely stumped. I have been unable to isolate the cause of the problem and it appears to be intermittant at best. The issue rears its ugly head as follows: This is on a dual boot workstation with a Supermicro X6DAL-XTG motherboard, dual 3.0GHz Xeon processors and a GeForce 6600GT video card. The system has worked splendidly since I purchased it back in June with one exception: occasionally when rebooting the system to return to Linux from Windows the 2D performance in Gnome is terrible. The problem does not appear immediately nor does it happen every time. Initially gdmgreeter appears as it should and I enter my login credentials. The Gnome desktop loads quickly and as I start to work applications load normally. However, after about 10 minutes the system load on one processor sharply increases to 100% when performing a simple task such as clicking on a button in Firefox, launching a new gnome-terminal window or clicking on the Applications menu at the top of the screen. The response time between clicking and the menu appearing for instance is anywhere from 2-5 seconds. There does not seem to be any quick fix for this which is what has me puzzled. If I close all of my applications, log out and log back in the problem resets. Rebooting the system proves ineffective as well. I have tried various driver revisions, currently using 1.0.6629-r4, and several different kernels to no avail. I have tried both enabling and disabling the RenderAccel option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and that does not appear to make any difference. Adjusting the NvAGP option does nothing nor does enabling the Composite option however the system seems more responsive when the Composite option is enabled. Switching to the nv driver resolves the problem and the system remains snappy with no immediate problems. Occasionally I will begin to get artifacts on the display with the nv driver and then the screen goes entirely white but switching to the console using ctrl + alt + F1 usually resolves this problem. I would appreciate any insight anyone could provide as to what I am overlooking. I have walked through the Gentoo Nvidia documentation numerous times and I have consulted the README document included with the nvidia driver. I am completely stumped. Currently I am using 2.6.9-gentoo-r9 for a kernel with the 1.0.6629-r4 version of the nvidia driver. As I said before I have tried several kernel and driver revisions to no avail. As a sidebar, 3D performance seems to be as it should be which puzzles me further. Again, I appreciate any advice anyone may offer. Please see the following links for the last xorg.conf I tried as well as my kernel config and make.conf http://pizon.org/xorg.conf http://pizon.org/kernel-config http://pizon.org/make.conf

See below for an explanation of the () 2005/11/7, Rafael Barreto [EMAIL PROTECTED]: For that I understood, this command will return the line of CLOCK= in /etc/conf.f/clock without any comments. Is this right? Well, what I really want is replace just CLOCK=fool1 by CLOCK=fool2 keeping the comments in line. Do you know what fool2 would be? If so: s/^\(CLOCK=\)[^[]]*\(.*\)$/\1fool2\2/p should do what you want. (I think sed greedy matches by default? Hum, I honestly don't remember, better safe than sorry.) See below for the use of the \( .. \) and \1 \2 variables. The [^[]] specifies a class of characters to match, in this case, it means anything except for the quotation mark. (The caret ^ negates the class [] which means only the quotation mark.) So what this sed expression is really saying is that we want to keep the beginning of the line up to the first quotation mark the same, and keep the end of the line starting from the second quotation mark the same, and change everything in between to 'fool2'. By the way, \1 do really what? If i put \0 the result is the entire line. So, could you explain me this a little more? Thanks... \0 is the entire matching expression/line. \n is tokenizing. By using parentheses in the regexp, you can reuse the texts in the parentheses in the substitution. For example, consider the expression s/\(.at\).*\(.ox\)/\2 not \1/p If we send it The bat scared the fox. it would print fox not bat because \2 gets replaced by the second matching token, which in this case, is fox, because it matches .ox. Similarly for bat and the first token. If we send the same expression The cat died in the box. it would print box not cat I can't explain the concept very well, and I hope the examples are good enough.

Then it'll search and replace globally. The '-n' option suppresses unchanged output, so if the output of the sed command was being redirected to a file, only the changed lines would be printed. So, in this case, you would NOT want to use the '-n' option, because you would want the entire file output *with* the changes. I guess what I am saying is that sed -n 's/^\(CLOCK=.*\).*$/\1/p' /etc/conf.d/clock would do just as fine, no? W (See above). To actually make changes to the file, once you had tested your regular expressions to STDOUT, you would most likely want to redirect it to a file to replace the original file. If you include the '-n' option, all of the unchanged lines would not be printed or redirected - so you would have your changes, but nothing else. So for your final run, you would want something without the '-n' option. And without the '-n' option, the print command ( s///p ) is moot.
