[gentoo-user] Precedence order of overlays
Hi, I have several packages that I maintain my own ebuilds for, as it's CVS sources. I keep these in /usr/local/portage. As it happens ebuilds for these same packages are also in layman, and I have the relevant overlay enabled. So far it would appear that my local overlay is taking precedence over layman. I've read the layman docs and there is an option for precedence, but it seems to apply to layman only, and that's not what I want. The portage docs seems to be sparse on this matter of overlays. I want to guarantee that foo-.ebuild in /usr/local/portage will be emerged in preference to an identically named and versioned ebuild in layman. How do I do that? If I can't guarantee this, I'd also be happy bumping my ebuilds to foo-9.ebuild, but I'd rather do it with a config option if possible. alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: Email from Mac to PC/Win
When she sends emails from her Mac: Sometimes attachments don't arrive. Have the Mac person try this: Go in to Mail, Preferences - Composing. The top preference is: Composing: Message Format: Rich Text is probably selected. Pick Plain Text instead. This is a good idea in general, but it also affects one specific and obscure corner case: Mac user forwarding a received email which includes an attachment. When Mac Mail forwards with Rich Text, the generated MIME has a tree structure that some MUAs don't handle. The attachment is there but the MUA won't see it. Sometimes the emails never arrive (or so people claim, never happens to me) Sometimes her emails end up in the junk mail folder (again, never happens to me) Can't help you there, at least not without much more info.

Do you know what I should do to remove all the cached source code packages? Fei Hey! See my e-mail or Boyed Stephen Smith Jr.'s mail. Don't use USE=blabla emerge package or ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=.., because these settings are just temporary and when will only be applied to this one emerge. I haven't used -k (--usepkg) yet however the man page tells me that -k means, that precompiled packages should be used. So your USE flag does not take any effect. Btw.: You shouldn't say that this problem is fixed as you just have used something precompiled and preconfigured. You should better digg deeper into emerge and USE flags. Otherwise you will never understand portage which is _essential_ for understanding and using Gentoo Linux. This is just and advice... Best Regards Jay -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Dan, Thanks for the reply. The client is a laptop running Windows XP Home EditionI'. Server is a tower running Gentoo 2006.1, shorewall 3.0.8. The client is setup as follows: IP address: 192.168.1.2 Netmask:255.255.255.0 Gateway:192.168.1.1 DNS: 192.168.1.1 I've changed my /etc/conf.d/net to: # Interface Handler modules=( ifconfig ) # eth0 (WAN) config config_eth0=( dhcp ) # eth1 (LAN) config config_eth1=( 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ) Amongst many other things, shorewall dump shows: Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities: NAT: Available Packet Mangling: Available Multi-port Match: Available Extended Multi-port Match: Available Connection Tracking Match: Available Packet Type Match: Available Policy Match: Available Physdev Match: Not available IP range Match: Available Recent Match: Available Owner Match: Available Ipset Match: Not available CONNMARK Target: Not available Connmark Match: Available Raw Table: Available CLASSIFY Target: Available FORWARD Mangle Chain: Available So, I think I have all that I need compiled into my kernel (2.6.19-r1).

The 'server' doesn't need a route to 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.1. That's going to be automatic on the server's end because of the line 192.168.1.0 *255.255.255.0 U 00 0 eth1 in route. A route through eth1 to the subnet eth1 is on will automatically be added. But does the 'client' computer have such a default route through 192.168.1.1? The command to set up such a route (again, on the client) would be route add default gw 192.168.1.1; Here's the output from ifconfig eth1: looks fine. This is my routing table: looks fine, as long as it's from the server and not the client. One odd thing is, if I run mii-tool eth1, I get: eth1: no link eth1 is connected to my client machine via crossover cable (the wire scheme A end is plugged into eth1, and the wire scheme b end is plugged into the client machine) You clearly know the difference between a patch and a crossover, but i don't see why the interfaces arent' registering a conection. I'm experiencing difficulty where my client can't get to the Internet (the pages just time out) you need ip forwarding enabled to pull that off. I can't ping the gateway (192.168.1.1) from the client. Also, from the firewall, I can't ping the client machine ( 192.168.1.2). This should be working right now, though. Can you post the ipconfig and route output from the 'client' ? Pings from the firewall to the client result in Destination Unreachable, and if I remember correctly, pings from the client to the firewall just time out. sounds like the client is not actually 'connected'. Although, clearly the physical connection is there. I'm running shorewall (v 3.0.8), so I've tried shutting it down (shorewall clear) to eliminate that as an option, but still not getting anywhere. oh oh. shorewall can really confuse things. Stop shorewall and have it save your iptables output, then I would suggest flushing .config has the following entries in it, please let me know if there are others that you need to see. CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=y you don't need this. CONFIG_NETFILTER=y CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT=y you will need this. But only oce you get connected to 192.168.1.1 ! remember, the client needs a default route set. The server _isn't_ going to need a route to 192.168.1/24 explicitly set in conf.d/net Thanks, Shawn I'm on comcast too: 20: c-71-xxx-144-1.hsd1.fl.comcast.net (71.203.144.1)asymm 21 167.516ms reached Resume: pmtu 1500 hops 20 back 21 only 1 country's width and 20/21 hops away from you!

[gentoo-user] audio: can hear sound from line/mic but cannot record it
Hi, I have an odd problem with audio recording. When I plug my guitar to the line in/mic in, it plays. I can hear the sound fine. So the input device seems to work correctly. But when I try to *record*, no matter the application (audacity, rezound, arecord) the application freezes and no output file is made. arecord actually spits out a 44-byte header, and nothing else. strace-ing the application clearly shows that the app just freezes. Relevant things I changed after last time it worked correctly may be: - the kernel (from 2.6.16 to 2.6.18-r6) - alsa-lib (from 1.0.11 to 1.0.14) alsa drivers are compiled in the kernel.

[gentoo-user] scp login but confine the user to his home directory?
Hi, I'm wondering if it is possible and/or advisable to set up an account where a user can scp files in and out of his home directory using scp but if he logs into the machine using ssh he cannot go anywhere outside of his home directory? Mainly the intended application is a group file server but it is possible that we may want to run some scripts in the account so being able to ssh in has an advantage over ftp. That said I don't want the users cd-ing around the machine, etc. How would I set something like this up? Thanks in advance, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

How would I set something like this up? Mark, Rebuild openssh with the chroot USE flag enabled and then have a look at the following HOWTO: http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted_ssh_howto_debian It's a bit of work to set up but it works well. We have a similar setup at work for our shared hosting customers. Regards, Greg -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] 'du' problem after emerge of coreutils
Hi emerged coreutils up to 6.4 and the '-x' option on du seems broken, e.g.: root du --version du (GNU coreutils) 5.94 root du -s -x DVBig Docs.bak Gimp.bak 16730112 DVBig 1935776 Docs.bak 1227584 Gimp.bak so all correct with the old version, these are three simple directories on the one file system. Now emerge to coreutils 6.4... root du --version du (GNU coreutils) 6.4 root du -s -x DVBig Docs.bak Gimp.bak 16730112 DVBig 32 Docs.bak 32 Gimp.bak so it seems that for the second and any subsequent arguments treated as on a different file system... eg if I swap the arguments order: root du -s -x Docs.bak DVBig Gimp.bak 1935776 Docs.bak 32 DVBig 32 Gimp.bak if the -x is not used then the output is correct, (same as 5.94)... thought I would ask here first as I also upgraded most sys related packages just before coreutils.. anyone else get this?

[gentoo-user] Network works OK internally but can't access Internet - very frustrated
Hi - After a last emerge --sync I've been having trouble accessing the internet. My network interface comes up OK. I receive an address for the DHCP server (i.e. eth1 received address 192.168.0.7/24) and I can see and access my Intranet webpage on 192.168.0.xx and copy files to and from various machines. However if trying to access the Internet I keep getting unknown host when pinging sites I know will respond. My machine dual boots into XP and runs fine. I've checked the Gentoo handbook and config files and confirmed my network config files look OK (they seem to). Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks, Richard

If you just did emerge --sync, the problem that you have was not caused by this command. Do you have your dns configuration correct? please check you /etc/resolv.conf file. Does your DHCP server send nameserver to the client? 2007/2/3, Richard Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi - After a last emerge --sync I've been having trouble accessing the internet.
