Random KDE components (like kdm) would sometimes start, sometimes not, depending on the reboot. Sometimes in /var/log/messages there were hints to *missing* *.so files in the /usr/kde/3.5/lib folder, yet they did *appear* to be there ~ although when doing a simple `ls` of the lib directory I got (depending on the reboot) between 10 and 30 errors about missing files or directories. It seemed that reiserfs had catalogued that files were supposed to be there, but `ls /usr/kde/3.5/lib` could not find them. For the record I am using reiserfs 3.6 (default in vanilla kernel, no patches) ~ not 4.x. The lib dir is also included in /etc/ld.so.conf and ldconfig was run several times to test. After a reboot I would get different errors, and sometimes none when it would just work (Xorg / kde). `revdep-rebuild -p` came up after every reboot with different packages, indicating it detected different missing *.so files after each reboot, mainly in the /usr/kde/3.5/lib. Now I know Linux, and errors like this are not normal in any way. I rebooted with the Gentoo Live-cd and did a few disc scans (fsck) of my root reiserfs partition. Every single time I ran it it would find errors and fix. I did a `--rebuild-tree -S` and for 45 minutes I got error after error after error (thousands), apparently all fixed. Re-running the scan started the whole error-fixing process again. A badblocks test showed no error on the partition though. I decided that my reiserfs file tree must have been corrupt, and formatted the root drive (`mkreiserfs /dev/hda3`) and restored a full backup (dar). After a reboot a repreated the scan, to find the same issues again. It seems a format did not clean the file table or something, I don't know. As a last test I formatted the root partition as an ext2 partition, and again restored the backup. No errors, no bad blocks, no problems. What gives? I don't want to use ext2 or ext3, and I have for a couple of years now relied on reiserfs on all my systems, but what could be the problem here? Why did reiserfs seem to mess up like this, and why after formatting it did I get the same errors again?

You could try 'reset' but that will usually just fix up corruption from e.g. catting a binary file. Once the framebuffer's corrupted, it's tough to fix. You could try fixing the X settings to ones known to work and restarting X, that may fix whatever was screwed up. Thanks, Donnie signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I remember having used 'equery list -d' to list packages that are installed twice.If you don't have equery, emerge gentoolkit.Then, with a simple ' | grep kde' and ' | grep 3.4', you get the kde packages to uninstall. Note that you have to put a '=' before the packages to unmerge when you specify an exact version.NB : you also may want to delete the .kde3.4 folder in your home directory.

[gentoo-user] amd64 installation questions
Hello, I've been handed a new amd64 portable (HP-8000), which must keep XP on it. To perform an installation, I usually use Partition Magic, which has worked very well to down-size the windoze partition. This system (suposedly) has another hidden partition that XP uses to restore the OS, if the XP installation ever get's corrupted. NO XP installation CD was provided. I was wondering if any of the opensource repartitioning tools have matured to the point I could used one of them in lieu of Partition Magic? In order to keep the XP installation: Does it matter if I setup Gentoo on the portable first, before going thru all of those windoze installation/initialization menus? Any wiki examples (gotchas) on xorg.conf or make.conf (as this is my first amd64 installation) are welcome. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Try to figure out how you got it. e.g. you installed software from an unreliable source; your privileges are screwed up; you have an unpatched server(s) running; etc. I am pretty picky about my software - have not messed with permissions its a desktop machine not running any external services. Maybe you could find the both the vector and the lkm - but understanding that the only real solution to a rootkit is restoring from a clean backup, or rebuilding :-( ... gulp ... On digging around and listening to you guys I am going to go with a false +ve. My clue came when I discovered how chkrootkit detected the problem ... How accurate is chkproc? If you run chkproc on a server that runs lots of short time processes it could report some false positives. chkproc compares the ps output with the /proc contents. If processes are created/killed during this operation chkproc could point out these PIDs as suspicious. That fits in with the fact that chkrootkit rkhunter now report clean ( also fits in with someone tinkering from the inside !)

Are there any other checks I can do - re-installing the system is not my preferred option :) Dave Hi Dave, Just went through the same scare with an OLD linux server a few weeks ago. This could be a false positive... What you should do is run chkrootkit with verbose option turned on. Take the pids it show you and compare them to what's listed in /proc. Each running process has a pid and it's listed under /proc. In each pid listed under proc there's a /exe link that gives you the path to the program owning the pid. There a /status file that will give you the name of the program. There's other info there also. If there's any discrepancies between what's list in /proc and what ps tells you, you've been infected with LKM for sure. Naturally, you have to be there when chkrootkit complains... Thats the problem it was an automated email at midnight - all looks OK now - apart from my paranoia that is ... But don't stop here... You can also try running rootkit-hunter and compare the output. Done it - it reports clean You can cp known good tools (in your case, ps) from a backup to your infected box and run it to get true information. I knew a co-worker that ran tree across a suspected infected box and found a number of hidden directories on it. It was indeed infected. I will look into it. Also, if this machine was running a firewall, look in the logs. If you've kept a running archive, hopefully spanning a week or two, you may be able to figure out when and where the attack came from. Netgear firewall ADSL NAT, tea machine, router - I will have a look in the logs for anything suspicious - good idea. Hope that helps. Jerry Cheers Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

That fits in with the fact that chkrootkit rkhunter now report clean ( also fits in with someone tinkering from the inside !) The problem I see here is that you can't expect chkrootkit to find something when scanning from a clean base (Live-CD) when the only hint you had was an alert from chkproc. You probably would have gotten the alert from chkrootkit in the first place. chkproc inspects the currently running system (and the /proc for the currently running kernel). I.e. if it has no signature for the rootkit itself, it can't find it again from that clean kernel. Do you have the possibility to monitor internet connections on an intermediary gateway? I think monitoring it for a few days would give you a better hint if there might be something active. And there are other things to think about. Do you have a webserver running? CGI scripts? PHP applications? Do you have other network reachable services? Were you running a firewall? The past kernel bugs had very early exploit scripts. It is really a no-brainer to insert a rootkit if something lets you, say, write a script to /tmp and call it by exploitable buffer overflows, badly written CGI... And remember that there's (nearly) no possibility for a positive proof of the non-existence of a root kit. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] OT SATA card recommendations
You might want take a look at your numbers again. Using 500GB SATA disks or bigger means you don't need such expensive raid cards (or multiple raid cards)... Also, you have fewer moving parts to break. On Mon, 17 Jul 2006, Mike Williams wrote: Hey, In the next month or so I wish/need to make some storage modifications, I'm running out of space, quickly. Currently it's a horrible hodge podge of 2 RAID5s in one VG, and 1 RAID10 in another VG. 1 of 3 is PATA other 2 SATA (RAID5), 5 of 5 SATA (RAID5), and 4 of 4 PATA (RAID10), 1 of 1 PATA (boot and OS). Spread over the on-board PATA controller, a PCI 2 port PATA (for the 4 drives in RAID10), and an 8 port marvell SATA card (which doesn't have a usable driver I can find after 2.6.13). That lot in a very old globalwin 302 (??) midi tower. Yes, it's *hot*. I already know I'm going for a Antec P180, so I'm limited to a maximum of 10 drives, one boot disk, and a CD (something I'm missing now). 320GB drives are the best £/GB at the moment, even if they only give 298GB usable space. 10 x 298GB / RAID6 == just under twice what I've got already, and more redundancy. So, the point in my post. I need a 12 port SATA card that works properly with open-source drivers (preferable in kernel). Cost isn't the primary concern, even if this is only for home use. I don't need, or in fact want, on-board RAID, software RAID is better in my opinion. 3x 4 ports is an option, at a push. I'd rather not lose the gigabit nic though. I see that 3ware do a 12 port card, but it's over 500 quid! Cost may not be the primary concern, but 500 quid is still 500 quid! Anyone with any experience?
