[gentoo-user] Emerging asterisk-addons loops endlessly
Hello, I'm trying to emerge asterisk-addons-1.2.1 with the h323 flag but after some compiling it begins to output Waiting for chan_h323.o.lock to be removed Waiting for ooCmdChannel.o.lock to be removed Waiting for ooh323cDriver.o.lock to be removed Waiting for chan_h323.o.lock to be removed Waiting for ooCmdChannel.o.lock to be removed Waiting for ooh323cDriver.o.lock to be removed in an endless loop. I did a find in /var/tmp/portage/asterisk-addons-1.2.1 but no such files exist. Prior to the upgrade of Asterisk to 1.2.9_p1 I was using it with asterisk-oh323 but it is unmerged now. Any ideas where could be the problem? TIA -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hello Iain, I've recently discovered these 2 little jewels.

I have not delved into this mechanism deeper, but, it would seem logical that once the device is seen by udev, then you could tar up these devices and have them added to /dev/ and find a way to let udev do it's 'auto-discover' upon reboot. Sort of a hybrid method using both udev's auto-discovery mechanism and manually providing a list of hardware to the /dev/ dir. My experiences with udev, are that it is still very much 'a work in progress' weak documentation and scant few examples PS. I'm not even saying that udev is the culprit, but it's always suspect with low level hardware, in the 2.6 kernel series ymmv, hth, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] problem w/ portage tmp on nfs
Hi folks, my gentoo-driven notebook has just a small harddisk, so moved /var/tmp/portage to an nfs volume (directly mounted there). This produces really strange problems, if the directory is empty: portage cannot create the directory ../$pkg/temp, but $pkg/ and several things beyond are created. Portage aborts with an exception. I suspect some permission problem. Strange: when unmounting it, starting portage until it has created the sourcetree, moving it away, remounting and moving the already- prepared sourcetree to the now mounted nfs dir, works fine, also with other packages following.

On 7/4/06, Enrico Weigelt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi folks, my gentoo-driven notebook has just a small harddisk, so moved /var/tmp/portage to an nfs volume (directly mounted there). This produces really strange problems, if the directory is empty: portage cannot create the directory ../$pkg/temp, but $pkg/ and several things beyond are created. Portage aborts with an exception. I suspect some permission problem. Strange: when unmounting it, starting portage until it has created the sourcetree, moving it away, remounting and moving the already- prepared sourcetree to the now mounted nfs dir, works fine, also with other packages following. Does anyone have an idea what this can be ? I have some portage stuff mounted with nfs, the only way for portage to work with those dirs was to set no_root_squash at /etc/exports at the host machine... I don't know why, even with full permissions, portage refused to work. But I was warned at the NFS howto that this kind of administrative task would require this...

Typing, instead of 'display', things like 'background', 'desktop' or 'mouse' opens the corresponding KControl module. Apparently Open With and Alt+F2 check the given command to see if it contains the name of a KControl module, and launches it when found. Being KDE, this should be configurable I guess, but who has an idea where to look? A workaround is to make a symlink, for example: ln -s display /usr/bin/show and then invoke ImageMagick with 'show'. A more radical workaround would be to unmerge kcontrol, but I haven't tried this. :) This seems like a bug in KDE: it should definitely skip checking for a KControl module name when there is a slash in the given command.

Masking the following fixed it for me

I haven't had the time to investigate further or file a bug report.
Ok, I've found a fix for this. It looks like we need to set
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome in a gtkrc file.
Assuming you have KDE setup to export settings to gtk/gnome apps, it
will overwrite your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file, and also add a line to your
~/.bashrc to make sure it is used by gtk. Your ~/.bashrc probably
contains:
# This line was appended by KDE
# Make sure our customised gtkrc file is loaded.
export GTK2_RC_FILES=$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0
If you change this line, or the .gtkrc-2.0 file, the KDE control
center may overwrite the changes. So my fix is to change ~/.bashrc to
contain:
# This line was appended by KDE
# Make sure our customised gtkrc file is loaded.
export GTK2_RC_FILES=$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0
# and also use my personal .gtkrc file...
export GTK2_RC_FILES=${GTK2_RC_FILES}:$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0-rjf
Then .gtkrc-2.0-rjf contains only:
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
This allows all evolution icons to be found.
Of course, I had to dig through the source to figure out the fix, but
once I knew the solution, finding the relevant web pointers was easy!

Just look at /var/log/sshd/current and you will see ;) Luckily, this is pretty easy to protect against. In /etc/ssh/sshd_config set PermitRootLogin to 'no' or 'without-password' (without-password means using key based authentication). `emerge denyhosts`, configure it in /etc/denyhosts.conf, start it up, and added it to the default run level. It should be noted that this only goes so far. You need good passwords too. Passwords should be at least 7 characters long and contain upper and lower case with punctuation.

[gentoo-user] iptables wiki
Hello,
I'm attempting to follow this wiki to build a test firewall running iptables:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Iptables_for_newbies#QuickStart
Kernel is 'hardened' with netfilter et al activated.
It looks reasonable and is suppose to be up to date.
My nics are set up in /etc/conf.d/net
iface_eth0=192.168.2.20 broadcast 192.168.2.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
iface_eth1=192.168.3.11 broadcast 192.168.3.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
iface_eth2=snipped broadcast snipped netmask 255.255.255.252
routes_eth2=( default gw snipped )
All work fine.
port forwarding is enabled:
Rulesets get saved to /var/lib/iptables/rules-save
As specificed in /etc/conf.d/iptables
and
/etc/init.d/iptables is the script that launces iptables
plus rc-update add iptables default
I think all of this is correct(correct me if I'm wrong).
When I go to /etc/init to write my rules into firewall.sh
as specified in the aforementioned wiki I automatically get
this shoved into the script:
#!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2006 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $
depend() {
}
start() {
}
stop() {
}
restart() {
}
curiously none of the example talk about this.
Is this the correct place to put my script(/etc/init.d/,
which is somewhat similar to the one suggested in the
wiki?
None of the examples I found googling discuss the details of where to put
the script, how to launch it and other such details. Any suggestion
are welcome. I have found lots of example scripts similar to my 3 nic
net/lan/dmz setup though.
Any suggestions are very welcome.

[gentoo-user] Wireless Help
Hi, Okay so, I'm a wireless idiot. I've found the wiki that outlines the use of wireless-tools or wpa-supplicant. However, my problem is that I don't know where to begin. My wireless adapter for my notebook is a Linksys WPC54G. I think that I have to use ndiswrapper in order to install the driver for the card. So, my question is, once I install ndiswrapper and the driver, do I then follow the wiki for either wireless-tools or (preferred) wpa-supplicant? Is there anything else I have to do or install?

So, Richard, I apologize for the tardiness of my response. Richard Fish wrote: On 6/24/06, Colleen Beamer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: kaudiocreator is not working as expected. The only thing that I can think of is that I don't have some setting correct and I'm darned if I can figure out what it is. If there is an incorrect setting, it would have to be in the kernel. But I don't think it is very likely to be a problem with grip or kaudiocreator. Can you tell us more about what your hardware configuration is like (other IDE disks, master/slave settings, any SATA drives, etc)? Have you checked that the cables inside the computer are secure? Could they have been damaged in any way? As it turns out, I think the problem *was* a wonky CD-RW drive, as others in this thread suggested. I didn't think that was possible, since the drive worked fine prior to an upgrade from KDE 3.4.3 to KDE 3.5. However, when I went back to KDE 3.4.3, the erratic behaviour continued. I bit the bullet and bought another drive (haven't yet installed it). This paragraph is related to my desktop. However, the point of writing this is to say that after a clean install (i.e. wiping KDE 3.4.3 off my system) of KDE 3.5 on my laptop, kaudiocreator is working as expected, so this lends credence to the fact that it must have been the drive on my desktop that was failing.

Except i this example you are likely to install GNOME before removing KDE, otherwise you'd be left with no desktop. This isn't so bad with a binary distro if the packages are on a CD, but on gentoo it's murder. If you have the disk space to spare, set FEATURES=buildpkg. Then reinstalling a package is as quick as with a binary distro. The further complication there is that in this hypothetical situation you are also likely to be changing some USE flags, and the prebuilt buildpkg packages may need in fact to be built again against a new set of libraries.

[gentoo-user] linux' IO performance sucks
Hi, sorry for the silly subject, but did you ever experience the following?: i have a fileserver, i copy a file to it - let's say 600MB. So about every 200MB (i guess the linux box writes the data into the cache in the RAM first) linux writes the harddisk. But during that time - during the time it writes that 200MB to disk, there is no chance for any other IO. I'm playing an mp3 from the very same fileserver. It stops playing, because the machine does answer the read-requests. So what's going on here? Why does Linux write so huge amounts of data to the disk? Why does Linux not stop writing for a while to fullfil the read-requests? And so on ... Any idea, on how to imrpove that? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

The essid of the wireless access point you are connecting to. 3. The encryption key (if any) for wireless access (WEP) Once you have those you can run the following commands (after you have emerged wireless-tools) Using eth1 as the interface for example: iwconfig eth1 essid the essid of the access point iwconfig eth1 key the encryption key dhcpcd eth1 If this works, then depending on how you want to configure your box you may want to set all this configuration in the file /etc/conf.d/wireless (BTW, please take a look at the file /etc/conf.d/wireless.example, it does have very good comments that would make this very understandable), or you may want to go for wpa_supplicant.
