Hello,
I use gtk+ for my soft's graphic interface.
But valgrind make an log file containing approximately 22700 lines for an
simple source code like : 
#include gtk/gtk.h

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
gtk_init(argc, argv);
  GtkWidget *win= gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(win), destroy, G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), 
NULL);  
  gtk_widget_show_all(win);
  gtk_main();
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
It's difficult to write more simple code...
I've made many searchs on the web but nothing information to resolve this 
problem.
I've recompiling all with : emerge -e world
downgrading all of X parts and gtk+  glib. But the result are the same.
Visibly the big part of error are in gtk_init - gdk_display_open and 
XOpenDisplay in libX11

Someone has the same problem or an solution to solve this leak of memory?
Thank you very much.

You should at least describe the problem you have. You're just

Firefox was probably compiled with XPrint support. The USE flag
xprint should do this. At least I think that XPrint configured a PDF
Printer by default. Another option would be to use CUPS and configure a
PDF printer there. It wouldn't matter in that case if Firefox has
Xprint support, but that would probably make switching printers easier,
too.

OK, but memory usage doesn't add up while the program is running,
right? I think it may be just the missing call to gtk_exit(EXIT_SUCCESS)
instead of return EXITSUCCESS. At least gtk_exit() is supposed to do
final cleanup work.

But I think this is rather OT for this list. If you don't get more
answers here, you may seek help at the GTK project...

[gentoo-user] A couple questions

2006-08-02 Thread Timothy A. Holmes


Hi Folks:

I have a couple things that I am working on and I could use some help:

1. VPN

I have a VPN set up on my pix firewall, its using the MS-CHAPP protocol
(it's a PIX501)  I need to set up a good (easy to use) VPN Client for my
gentoo laptop

2. Backup

I have Backup Exec 10 from Veritas, with a quantum DLT loader -- I need
to come up with a way to back up to that device from the Gentoo Servers
(2 right now) -- I had it working on fedora, so im guessing I can make
it work on gentoo, but any alternative solutions etc would be most
appreciated

3. Work Log

Im looking for a good hours logging program that can handle real times.
The main problem with excel / open office spreadsheet is that it does
not like times, and cant easily calculate the hours expended.  I don't
need the financial side of the package, just an easy way to track my
hours by project.


Thanks folks

Thanks to all those who tried to help with this issue.  Being kind of a Gentoo 
newbie and not a programmer or developer, I am not sure what the problem 
could be.  I have tried this on two different computers and always get the 
same result.  Since everything seems to work except for the recurring 
revdep-rebuild issue, I am choosing to ignore it at this time.  

I did look into the drivers on the nVidia web site per rob's suggestion.  The 
extensive install notes showed me a possible solution.  It involves checking 
for conflicting libraries and/or symlinks.  Sounds like it could be what I am 
experiencing.  I will experiment with that although I am not sure I will know 
what I am doing.  No matter though.  I am retired and am experimenting with 
Genoo on testing machines, so it doesn't really matter if I break 
something.  I have learned a lot about Gentoo this way and I am getting 
better with it.

I was thinking someone else may have experienced the same problem and had 
found the solution.

Thanks, all!  I will keep my eyes on the gentoo-user list.  If I succeed in 
solving this issue, I will let you all know.

[gentoo-user] How to determine what ethernet is doing

2006-08-02 Thread reader

How to learn what ethernet connections are passing and how they are
setup?

I haven't had to do something like this for quite a while and have
forgotten how to go about it.

I have two ethernet adaptors but using only one, a gigabit ethernet
card.

I want to determine if it is actually passing a gigabit of data as
advertised.

What do I use to get that kind of info?

Dmesg id's it like this:
  r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK loaded
  ACPI: PCI Interrupt :02:03.0[A] - GSI 19 (level, low) - IRQ 177

OK, I didn't counter-check it and was probably reading some outdated
documentation. I was just searching for some kind of cleanup function
and thought I found it. So it's probably in fact a gtk memory leak. Are
you by chance running non-x86? That might explain why it passed some
tests though buggy on that arch...

OK, I'm out of suggestions :-) Maybe a manual delete would help, but I
somehow doubt that (cleanup is probably done by gtk_main_quit() now?)

Sorry -- I wrote that initial message in a hurry - and wasn't detailed
enough:

The vpn issue is not the ability to find clients it is the ability to
make the clients work.  I have tested / tried all the clients listed
there and none of them would allow me to connect to my PIX VPN,  the
idea of a VPN Server surfaced, and that will not work because the PIX
insists on glomming on to the vpn traffic instead of letting it past.  I
was hoping someone had a work around.

Backup:

I was hoping someone knew of a way to get my gentoo servers to talk to
the BackupExec engine easily -- Amanda and such will not work with
windows etc, I exist in a mixed environment and must back up both types
of boxes

Work Log -- hadn't managed to find that one yet -- will investigate
further

Personal recommendation is better. When someone asks for a good program
to do XYZ, searching google/freshmeat/portage only tells them what is
available, not whether it is worth using.

Google is good for finding solutions to problems, nowhere near as useful

[gentoo-user] Authentication Issues

2006-08-02 Thread Kris Kerwin

Hi all,

I just performed a new Gentoo install, and am having a couple of issues 
regarding authentication. I think that the problem is something to do with 
PAM/Shadow. (No ... it's not the blocking issue between pam-login and 
shadow).

I run a single user system with just users for myself (username: kris) and 
root. I cannot su into the root account from my personal account. I have 
added kris to the group wheel using the `gpasswd -a kris wheel', but still 
cannot su. I verified that kris is in the wheel group by logging in and 
trying the `groups' command. 

Then, I tried editing `/etc/pam.d/su' and commenting out the line `auth 
required pam_wheel.so use_uid', as the comment above it states that doing so 
will allow users who are not in the wheel group to su. Still, no joy. Other 
comments in that file state that you may give explicit rights to specific 
users by creating the file `/etc/security/suauth.allow' with each allowed 
user on their own line. Still, no joy.

On a (possibly) related note: while trying to switch from a graphical login to 
a virtual console to work on some of these problems, I found that the usual 
Ctrl-Alt-F* incantation did not work. The only way to switch to a virtual 
console was to right click on the desktop and go through the `Switch User' 
menu function on KDE. Further, when switching back to the graphical login 
from the console, I found that the screensaver had come on and had locked the 
desktop (though this was disabled within KDE's configuration). The big 
problem, however, came when I could not unlock the screensaver with my 
password.

Also, kris' attempts to change his passwd are met with the error: 
`Authentication token manipulation error'.

Thanks in advance for all of your help. System information is appended below.

An experimental alternative that you can look at is udept written by Ed
Catmur.  You can download an ebuild for use in your overlay at

Absolutely nothing. I have learned (thru pain) that you need to
run 'revdep-rebuild -p' on a semi routine basis.

I have a friend (XP and FreeBSD) genius that refuses to listen
or join gentoo-user for himself.He's surpassed the 
buffer limits of fgrep..{}

So I posted a generic question so he (hi bernie)
could read the responses in
linux.gentoo.user via net-news.

Naturally, since I recommended Gentoo, I get to do
admin over the phone and email..

Here's a nice little repository of experimental scripts too:

Keep your script in /etc and run it once.
If you have SAVE_ON_STOP=yes in /etc/conf.d/iptables

Um, maybe I missing something but searching for SAVE_ON
only reveals this line in the /etc/init.d/iptables script:


stop() {

save || return 1

it looks for this setting in my script?  If not, what file do 
I set the param  ${SAVE_ON_STOP}  in?


I.E. this is a conditional statement testing the setting which is

Or do I just add this line to the end for the scipt?

This is Gentoo.  We don't wait for releases before getting new
features.  This release appears to be mainly an update to the
installer, the addition of more device drivers to the install CD, and
a (relatively) fresh set of binary packages so users wanting to stay
with stable will not have to update and recompile a bunch of stuff
right off the bat.  That is just based on what the devs said they were
going to do, and what a release typically means for Gentoo.

The best way is to run your script to setup the firewall the way you
want.  Then do:

/etc/init.d/iptables save
rc-udpate -a iptables default

Then, the Gentoo iptables script will restore *your* rules every time
you boot.  Any time you make a change to the rules, just run
/etc/init.d/iptables save to have Gentoo save off your current
rules.

Just run your script once, then do
/etc/init.d/iptables save
/etc/init.d/iptables start
and
rc-update add iptables default

... and it will load your rules and start firewall automatically.

Well the main reason is because profiles will disappear from portage
after a certain amount of time, and you can't really run without a
profile!!

The main effects changing the profile has for an existing install are:

1. Updates to default USE flags and masks.
2. Updates to make.defaults
3. Updates to virtual package defaults.
4. Updates to the system package set, or minimum versions of the
system packages.


Does this link get moved when the release is ready?


Changing the profile can sometimes cause a lot of updates, changes to
use flags, features, etc, so no, it is not done automatically.
Generally after changing the make.profile link, you will want to do an
emerge -DNuvp world to see what changed.

Just as an example, as it currently sets the 2006.1 profile looks to
have use.defaults of:

USE=cups gdbm gpm libg++ nptl nptlonly ppds udev unicode

while the 2006.0 profile has:

USE=alsa apache2 apm arts avi cups eds emboss encode esd foomaticdb
gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad
mikmod motif mp3 mpeg nptl ogg opengl oss pdflib png qt qt3 qt4
quicktime sdl spell truetype udev vorbis X xml xmms xv

Thus, you could end up with a lot of missing use flags if you did just
a simple change.  What you will probabliy really want with 2006.1 is
one of the sub-profiles, like 2006.1/desktop, which has similar use
flags to 2006.0.

However, courier 10-pitch looks a bit ugly... What's wrong with courier

Re: [gentoo-user] xscreensaver new-login button

2006-08-02 Thread Grant


 I've been reading that there is supposed to be a new-login button that
 appears on a locked screen if xscreensaver is compiled with
 +new-login.  I've tried xscreensaver 4.24 and 5.00 both with
 +new-login, but neither displays a new-login button on the locked
 screen.  This Debian bug describes and solves the problem, but if
 references a config in ~/.xscreensaver that doesn't seem to exist in
 mine:

 http://bugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336590

 Does anyone know how to make that new-login button appear?

Frankly I have no idea. Previously there was another poster which had
this problem.
I am on xscreensaver 4.24 and I have the new-login button.

[ebuild   R   ] x11-misc/xscreensaver-4.24  USE=gnome jpeg krb4
new-login nls offensive opengl pam -insecure-savers -kerberos -xinerama
0 k

I DIDN't do anything!

Looking at the bug-report and the contents of the file

$grep -i newlogin  /etc/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver -B4

! This command is executed by the New Login button on the lock dialog.
! (That button does not appear if this program does not exist.)
!
*newLoginCommand:   /usr/bin/gdmflexiserver


That line:

*newLoginCommand:   /usr/bin/gdmflexiserver

was:

for me so I changed it and now it's working.  I definitely didn't
