Re: [gentoo-user] Outputing 15.9kHz?
I'm using the modeline from this link: http://www.sput.nl/hardware/tv-x.html and my xorg.conf looks like this: Section Monitor Identifier monitor1 Modeline 736x485i 14.16 736 760 824 904 485 491 496 525 interlace -hsync -vsync EndSection [...] When I try to open an xfce4 desktop like this, the image is somewhat scrambled and constantly rolls on the TV. It looks normal on a monitor with the same settings. OK, that rolling is bad sync. /var/log/Xorg.0.log reports this: (II) I810(0): monitor1: Using default hsync range of 28.00-33.00 kHz That's the culprit. You need to override defaults (TVs don't usually have DDC, such no automatic detection) for hsync/vsync. Add a HorizSync line to your xorg.conf: Section Monitor ... HorizSync 19.00-20.00 ... EndSection I always seem to get hsync out of range errors trying to go this low. I guess my card can't go as low as necessary. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] multicast routing from satillite to lan
Hi guys, I have a client that needs traffic that comes down a satillite connection to be routed onto a LAN where their multicast app will pick itup to handle the stream. The machine has a sat car and lan card.

Advantages: - It's relatively easy to see what things are going to be downgraded, so you can decide what needs to be added to package.keywords. One warning that should be given regarding any downgrade is that downgrading glibc is going to hose any system! Since the newest glibc in portage is stable at the moment this isn't currently an issue but still for future reference the warning should be given. Further I may add that I recently went through a downgrade from ~x86 to x86 on a desktop system and since I had been using ggc-4.1.1 for almost 3 months I decided not to use revdep-rebuild rather than emerge -e world. The only real problem I experienced was the dev-libs/expat downgrade from 2.0.0 to 1.95.8. revdep-rebuild doesn't have a clue about the order in which to recompile all the packages that break by this so if I hadn't been able to figure that out the revdep-rebuild method would definitely have taken a lot longer than emerge -e world (because most builds failed until the correct packages had been remerged in the correct order). I would, however, expect that it would be quite painless if emerge -e world was performed. Of course given the bugs that are still open on bug #140707 as has been discussed on this list during the last couple of weeks you should expect that a few packages will require ~x86 keywording until they are stabilised.

I can't compile it since it requires 2.6 kernel headers which I cannot have on my system. There's no mention of it in the tarball itself, just in the ebuild, as I mentioned. So go and check if the sources from the tarball build (i.e. don't use the ebuild, don't use portage at all). If you happen to have errors while building, quote them here. 2.6 is certainly not required by all means. Back in 1999, there was no kernel 2.6, mrouted can run even on 2.2.

I just understood that you want to get mrouted running. In fact, I don't think you need it to route multicast from one interface onto another. In order to do that, you're probably better off using bridging (and maybe ebtables to suppress non-multicast traffic from being bridged). As far as I can tell from reading mrouted's documentation, its primary focus is in fact multicast _tunneling_. In order to use that, you should have mrouted running in more than one LAN, interconnected by a non-multicast network (e.g. the internet). You can then route multicast packages between the LANs. You would have to configure mrouted on both ends in order to make them know each other. But as I said, your usage scenario most likely doesn't need it. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

However, when I open a terminal and type lpq I have problems: lightning ~ # lpq lpq: Unable to contact server! lightning ~ # and inside of an app like Open Office I don't see the printer. It just says Generic Printer. If I try the Printer Admin app in Gnome it says the CUPS server cannot be contacted.

You could omit pic here IIRC (on a hardened profile) hardened

If using a vanilla (desktop server) profile you'll need 'pie' as well.
Maybe (if not using a hardened profile) you'll also need some LDFLAGS.

The more minimized the global flags are, the more secure the server.

Could also check the flags in hardened profile.
Also, be careful using the hardened flag without running the
hardened profile. The hardened profile masks out a couple of
packages and flags that don't work so well on a hardened system.

H,
Not sure I fully grasp what you mean by a 'hardened system'. If you
mean running a hardened kernel with only necessary software
installed, then yes, I run hardened kernels on most servers {dns,
web, mail, firwalls}
If running a hardened system means more than that, please explain,
or point me to some docs.
Check hardened docs page on w.g.o, in short hardened means a kernel
with PaX (+ -fpie for packages) some sort of RBAC system - grsec, RSBAC
or SELinux and all user-land build with SSP,pic,pie (IMHO).
BTW, the flags with underscores in them (kernel_linux,
userland_GNU, elibc_glibc, video_cards_radeon and such) are known
as USE_EXPAND or expanded USE flags.
This is nice to know.
I did not get the memo on this.
Any docs for further reading you can point me to?

[gentoo-user] Re: Installing 2006.1 from the livedvd - is it really possible?
Helmut Jarausch jarausch at igpm.rwth-aachen.de writes: GenToo (at least the 2006.1 livedvd) is driving me nuts. I have tried several installations (more than 6) and they all fail by e.g. So, what can I do? Hello Helmut, It's a good thing I'm very stubborn, as I too have had troubles with the 2006.1 livecd installation methods. I have had several successes; here's how I do it. first, I select a networkless install (dumb down the choices for the livedcd). following the gui config screens, I do select eth0 and set it up for a static ip. In general make the least changes to to the default, dumbed_down networkless install as possible, once you get a kernel installed from the stage 3, you can build a kernel. As an interim grub.conf entry, I used this: . #0 title=Gentoo Linux root (hd0,1) kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.17-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda6 initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.17-gentoo-r7 #1 title=Gentoo 2.6.17-gentoo-r5 using init root (hd0,1) kernel /kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda6 initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.17-gentoo-r7 #2 title=Works...Gentoo Linux 2.6.17-gentoo-r5 root(hd0,1) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r5 root=/dev . the first entry (#0) was the created by the installation process. I build a kernel, kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r5, manually and used a similar entry (#1) to get the machine to boot the kernel I built from gentoo-sources. #2 is the my standard grub.conf entry found on my machines The default was a gentoo-r7 kernel. I then used the gentoo-r5 sources to build the first kernel and then the gentoo-r7 sources to build the current kernel. It's a cautious approach, but it worked. the only packages I install, from the liveCD are vim and slocate. Everthing else was after I got the machine up on my kernel and sync/update the machine before adding new software. Also at that time, I performed major surgery on the USE flag in make.conf.. The networkless install option will not let you change the USE flags in /etc/make.conf. USE the USE defaults. you can change them later. (I know this defeats the purpose, but it's the only way I could get livedCD 2006.1 to work(YMMV) I not certain this is the hangup on livecd 2006.1, but, it's what I did to get the dam 2006.1 livecd to work I'd like to hear from others their experiences and work-arounds. Last make sure in the screen that allows you to select the arch (in the lower left hand corner) you get that correct and as specific a possible. I discovered that the K6 arch was eliminated and I had to use 2006.0 media with a i586 stage 3 . K-6 install failed to work with any media labled 2006.1. the amd64 and P4 did work eventually using 2006.1 install media(livedCD). I was hoping that installing newer arch's would be smoother, but, alas, I had to do the same thing with a amd64 (turion) an an Intel P4.networkless to get it to work. If you configure the ethernet during the networkless install and select sshd to start automatically, then upon reboot, you can ssh into the machine and finish the install. ... all in all, I had hoped that the livecd 2006.1 would be quick to set up and run to completion, unattended. That goal remains elusive, and I'd really like to know if I'm just too stupid to use the 2006.1 livecd or if others experience trouble too? It may be quicker to use the old manual installation method. NOTE: I've used lots of installation media from a variety of BSD and linux variants, with little or no trouble.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Simplified apache2
I think I've answered my own question:
On my system, gzip is the only package that contains the pic USE flag.
Looking at the ebuild, the pic USE flag is used to tell the system not
to use the assembler code optimizations.
Presumably, assembler code can't be relocated.

MAILTO=root is already in /etc/cron/crontab by the way so this is all very strange. I tried setting MAILTO=david and that didn't work. I decided ssmtp might be the problem, so I isolated it and tried this:1. echo test |mail -s testing ssmtp to external [EMAIL PROTECTED]2. echo test |mail -s testing ssmtp mail to root root3. echo test |mail -s testing ssmtp mail to david david4. echo test |mail -s testing ssmtp mail to sarah sarah 1. The first one worked. So ssmtp can send to external addresses fine. 2. The second one worked. So ssmtp can look at the root= command (which tells it where to send mail to user ids 1000) properly and send to whatever root= is set to.3. The third one didn't work. So for some reason I can't send mail to a normal user. But maybe something is weird with that user. I used to run a mail server on this machine with that user (postfix/procmail/blah/blah/blah) so maybe some leftover thing was screwing things up. 4. Sending mail to this user didn't work either. The users in 3. and 4. are both in /etc/ssmtp/revaliases. User 3 is in the 'mail' group (does that even matter) and I tried user 4. with and without that user in the revaliases file.

[gentoo-user] Why is glibc ntpl+nptl-only?
Hi, For my new gentoo system I switched to the latest greatest profile - 2006.1. During the initial installation emerge told me glibc 2.4 is nptlonly - so I turned on the nptl and nptlonly USE flags in make.conf. Now my old linux system (profile 2006.0) tells me the same. Sooo - i guess I would have to switch to the no-nptl profile in order to keep the old (-nptl -nptlonly) settings. Is this a good Idea? Or is using nptl+nptlonly better (faster, less hassle, less memory footprint) anyways? TIA, Wolfgang Liebich -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] I think my machine is being used for spam
My mail queue is chock full of messages that appear to be error-reports from MAILER_DAEMON to the effect that some piece of mail is undeliverable. The form of the messages is baffling to me, and I cannot figure out what the original message was or where it came from. All of the addresses seem bogus. My fear is that messages with non-bogus addresses are also finding their way here, and are being delivered to people who deserve better. Can I train postfix to stop this stuff? Should I investigate some more to find out what's going on?
