Re: [gentoo-user] Re: What's the use of mozilla-launcher?
I was thinking about this at the weekend. Is it a *MUST* that a server understands that %2c is a ,? AFAIK those codes are part of the url spec. Any server/client/program that handles http must know about % codes. And given that ascii was the basis for character-hex mappings back then, one can reasonably assume the server must understand that %2c == ,. http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/4_Recommentations.html#z1 The last section deals with prohibited characters. All prohibited characters 'shall' be encoded in the % form.

On Mon, 13 Nov 2006, Steve [Gentoo] wrote: While system-level services are typically managed by /etc/init.d/* in Gentoo, these are maintained by root for all users. I'm interested in an end-user without root access who wants to 'run a service-like process' (for example, fectmail to poll remote accounts...) While an end user can easily run a daemon process or kill one, this doesn't persist across a reboot. I've tried using fcron to schedule user processes to re-start after a re-boot... but this feels like a hack. Use daemontools. It's in portage. Take a look at this site, which is beginner-friendly: http://www.thedjbway.org A run script for fetchmail is in http://smarden.org/runit/runscripts.html#fetchmail but you can probably cook your own once you get used to daemontools. You probably want your service to be kept alive, even when it goes down for whatever reason other than rebooting, so daemontools seems the proper solution. I'm assuming you have root privileges but don't want to run services as root when that's not really necessary. Otherwise, you'll need root's cooperation. -- Jorge Almeida -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Symlinking out of a chroot
As they say, security comes at the cost of convenience (and storage in this case), so I think the most secure solution is to just copy over the data I need to publish to the chroot. I've given it thought, and I don't want the potential apache hax0r to get to (and potentially delete) all my original pictures/videos. The downside is that I'll probably have 90% of them copied to the /chroot/www directory for publishing. The mount --bind thing looked nice, but you can't change the mount permissions from what those directories already have, i.e. if I have /stuff/pics on a filesystem mounted rw, I can't then mount --bind it to ro. At least that's what the man page says. If I could mount it to ro, that might be a better alternative.

[gentoo-user] AMD64 problem...
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 I recently got a system with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Processor 4200+ (dual core).

compile the kernel in about 15 minutes. If this isn't normal, any
ideas as to what the problem could be. I didn't see anything on

Maybe there is a loop in compiling.
Please check, if it's still running, if there is some piece of code that repeats
continuously.

I put the ipw3956d call in /etc/conf.d/local.start, which brings it up fine. Rather than starting ipw3945d in local.start, it is probably better to start/stop it with the module. You should have a /etc/modules.d/ipw3945 file that contains: install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 ; sleep 0.2; /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet remove ipw3945 /sbin/ipw3945d --kill ; sleep 0.2; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ipw3945 alias pci:v8086d4222sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off alias pci:v8086d4227sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off If so, run modules-update to regenerate /etc/modules.conf and activate the instructions. Note: I'm not sure which of the above lines I modified myself and which ones came from the ipw3945 package. But the first line starts the daemon when the module is loaded, the second stops it when the module is unloaded, but only if you use modprobe -r ipw3945. It will _not_ work correctly if you do rmmod ipw3945. The third and fourth lines prevent the module from being loaded automatically by udev, and are necessary because /var on my system isn't mounted when udev starts.

The config utility asks for a 20-digit-serial-number. Huh, I though this was free?

The beginning is the same: make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/device-mapper-1.02.12/work/device-mapper.1.02.12/li b' make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/device-mapper-1.02.12/work/device-mapper.1.02.12/li b' make[1]: Warning: File `ioctl/libdm-iface.c' has modification time 1.7e+08 s in the future set -e; \ FILE=`echo ioctl/libdm-iface.d | sed 's/\\//\\//g;s/\\.d//g'`; \ DEPS=`echo ../make.tmpl ../VERSION Makefile ../include/.symlinks_created | sed -e 's/\\//\\//g'`; \ i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -MM -Iioctl -I. -I../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DDM_IOCTLS -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -O2 -DDEVICE_UID=0 -DDEVICE_GID=0 -DDEVICE_MODE=0600 -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -O2 ioctl/libdm-iface.c | \ sed s/\(.*\)\.o[ :]*/$FILE.o $FILE.d $FILE.pot: $DEPS /g ioctl/libdm-iface.d; \ [ -s ioctl/libdm-iface.d ] || rm -f ioctl/libdm-iface.d set -e; \ FILE=`echo mm/pool.d | sed 's/\\//\\//g;s/\\.d//g'`; \ DEPS=`echo ../make.tmpl ../VERSION Makefile ../include/.symlinks_created | sed -e 's/\\//\\//g'`; \ i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -MM -Iioctl -I. -I../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DDM_IOCTLS -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -O2 -DDEVICE_UID=0 -DDEVICE_GID=0 -DDEVICE_MODE=0600 -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -O2 mm/pool.c | \ sed s/\(.*\)\.o[ :]*/$FILE.o $FILE.d $FILE.pot: $DEPS /g mm/pool.d; \ [ -s mm/pool.d ] || rm -f mm/pool.d set -e; \ FILE=`echo mm/dbg_malloc.d | sed 's/\\//\\//g;s/\\.d//g'`; \ DEPS=`echo ../make.tmpl ../VERSION Makefile ../include/.symlinks_created | sed -e 's/\\//\\//g'`; \ i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -MM -Iioctl -I. -I../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DDM_IOCTLS -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -O2 -DDEVICE_UID=0 -DDEVICE_GID=0 -DDEVICE_MODE=0600 -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -O2 mm/dbg_malloc.c | \ sed s/\(.*\)\.o[ :]*/$FILE.o $FILE.d $FILE.pot: $DEPS /g mm/dbg_malloc.d; \ [ -s mm/dbg_malloc.d ] || rm -f mm/dbg_malloc.d set -e; \ FILE=`echo libdm-string.d | sed 's/\\//\\//g;s/\\.d//g'`; \ DEPS=`echo ../make.tmpl ../VERSION Makefile ../include/.symlinks_created | sed -e 's/\\//\\//g'`; \ i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -MM -Iioctl -I. -I../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DDM_IOCTLS -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -O2 -DDEVICE_UID=0 -DDEVICE_GID=0 -DDEVICE_MODE=0600 -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -O2 libdm-string.c | \ sed s/\(.*\)\.o[ :]*/$FILE.o $FILE.d $FILE.pot: $DEPS /g libdm-string.d; \ [ -s libdm-string.d ] || rm -f libdm-string.d set -e; \ FILE=`echo libdm-deptree.d | sed 's/\\//\\//g;s/\\.d//g'`; \ DEPS=`echo ../make.tmpl ../VERSION Makefile ../include/.symlinks_created | sed -e 's/\\//\\//g'`; \ i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -MM -Iioctl -I. -I../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DDM_IOCTLS -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -O2 -DDEVICE_UID=0 -DDEVICE_GID=0 -DDEVICE_MODE=0600 -mtune=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -O2 libdm-deptree.c | \ sed s/\(.*\)\.o[ :]*/$FILE.o $FILE.d $FILE.pot: $DEPS /g libdm-deptree.d; \ [ -s libdm-deptree.d ] || rm -f libdm-deptree.d set -e; \ FILE=`echo libdm-file.d | sed

I see you don't have PORTAGE_ELOG* set so you won't have full compile session logs in /var/log/portage but you should be able to see on the screen what's happening and make an intelligent summary. It's PORT_LOGDIR that sets the destination for full compile logs. The PORTAGE_ELOG variables control the saving or mailing of the info and warn messages from the ebuild. Yes you are correct of course. Thanks for the clarification. alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
