[gentoo-user] portage usage problems
Hi, I have two tiny problems in using portage. - How can I get a list of all packages for which there is a newer version. emerge --update world doesn't work since it doesn't respect my ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 setting, i.e. it doesn't show new packages if they are masked by the ~x86 keyword. - Whenever I install a new kernel I have to reinstall all those packages which generate a kernel module, e.g. nvidia-drivers, openafs-kernel or virtualbox-modules. When emerge has installed the kernel module in /lib/modules/new-kernel/... it removes the corresponding module in /lib/modules/old-kernel Since I want a fall back possibility I'd like to tell emerge not to remove the modules for the old-kernel. How can this be done? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Which is not available with kernel 2.6. Disabling the check in / etc/init.d/mondo results in a segmentation fault :-( In the mondo forum (see link) there is a small hack that can be used as workaround, but i think mondo should be blocked, for kernel 2.6 because the hack is not really good (only one sensors is supported, for which you need to know the ID). http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72467 But would the new ebuild work? thanks, Thufir -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge update problem
Hello Helmut, maybe that www-client/epiphany is a dependency after a package update (e.g. version 1.0 of package X requires package y, but version 0.9 of X does not). Another reason can be the USE-flags. May when you have been building a packge you temporarily disabled an USE-flag (USE=-flag-to-disable emerge x), which is in your make.conf and activates an optional dependency (in this www-client/epiphany, epiphany requires a newer version of www-client/firefox and so on).

You won't get HTTPS traffic without spoofing certificates, which might not get trough unnoticed.

Note that the traffic you're interested in the most is outgoing traffic (HTTP POST) if you're looking for offensive communication originating from that user. Of course, all of this is probably illegal if that user hasn't agreed on monitoring measures (which means you'll probably not be able to use it as a proof before court) -- and even that might be prevented by local law.

Everything, which can be build inside of kernel is built inside of kernel. FYI, although this is somewhat popular and seen as a performance enhancement to many, it all it really ends up meaning that you have to reboot the computer to control the parameters of various parts of the kernel (kernel / module parameters are often equivelent). It also means you have all functionality all the time. This can be good if it's to prevent initrd usage, as desired, but can also mean a bigger memory footprint for stuff you never use. I mention this because I was always a big 'monolithic' fan in the past, but have found the middle ground to be better. Compile in what you use all the time, and leave modularized that which you don't. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

And while many *see* it as a performance enhancement, in reality it is little more than another ricer fantasy - on the same order as -O9 in your CFLAGS. Kernel modules are essentially self-modifying code that plugs itself into a running kernel to give the same code as if the module were actually monolithic.

Suggest you try testdisk with a LiveCD and stop messing about with the drive in question in case you overwrite the disk space in question. Unfortunatelly it is impossible to use live cd, so is not messing with hard drive - there are services on it that must remain online I've asked around, and found pretty cool solution on another system I do: nc -l -p 21 drive_image.dd on server with deleted file I do: dd if=/dev/hda1 | nc -q 2 ip of another system 21 after that I can play around with drive_image.dd using for example autopsy I'm afraid I don't think that's going to work too well for you. You see, hardware diagnostics generally employ methods of reading older data on the drive because it leaves some kind of electromagnetic 'residue' on the drive. In other words, the diagnostic access you need requires access to the hard drive you want to diagnose. Sure, but *software* diagnostics (testdisk) should do what the OP wants. Creating a drive/partition image and mounting on another machine using loopback will work fine (I have done it myself a number of times). Recovery may be less effective if the original disk are has been overwritten by newer data. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: [gentoo-user] Network Monitoring
On Wednesday 17 October 2007, Tapio Raevaara wrote: Network monitoring can be interpreted in many different ways, are you sure your users realize what that really means? Unless you've already done so, it might be a good idea to send a message reminding of the policy to all users, mention that a single user has been violating that policy, and that if this will not stop immediately, you'll be forced to start monitoring the traffic. I'd go further than that, I would be more specific regarding the way in which that user violated the policy: e.g. used company IT equipment to access 'such such' type of website in company time. In my company, 'social networking websites' like myface, youtube and what not, are out of bounds. Ditto for ebay - employees were spending far too much time browsing deals on ebay. Also, what are the implications of violating the policy - speak to your HR department first and reiterate these in the same message; e.g. porn may be instant dismissal, but ebay may just result in a disciplinary hearing. Then check that (s)he (and others) don't just use anonymouse to get to their preferred websites . . . -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] Re: kernel compilation
Hi all, Thanks for all these comments. I was thinking about a monolithic kernel, because I'm placing my whole root fs into initramfs of the kernel image and did not want to hassle with /lib/modules during kernel building. Then I realized, that I still need this, because I need lirc. And now I realized, that I don't need a monolithic kernel anymore, because I found a solution to import /lib/modules into the initramfs by building the kernel image again. So I will do a kernel as Dan suggested with important stuff build in and other stuff loaded as module. But since I stripped down my kernel, there are only a few things I will build as modules.
