[gentoo-user] Nmap 4.85BETA5 ebuild (Conficker scanning)
Hi there,
Nmap 4.85BETA5 can scan for Windows PC infected with Conficker, which
goes live tomorrow.
Does anyone have an ebuild for Nmap 4.85BETA5, please?
I tried copying nmap-4.76.ebuild (the latest in the Portage tree) to /
usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/nmap/nmap-4.85_beta5.ebuild and added
the MY_P=${P/_beta/BETA} line from http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=8748action=view
but I still get File nmap-4.85_beta5.tar.bz2 doesn't exist when I
try to create a manifest. I also tried using MY_P=${P/_beta/BETA/}
in case it needed that extra slash, but no joy.
I'd spend longer reading the manpage for ebuild, but have to rush out
shortly. So I'm posting in the hope that someone will see quickly what
I'm doing wrong. My apologies for troubling you.
Stroller.

Re: [gentoo-user] Upgrading GCC (just to be sure)...
Hi all, it was said before: You don't need to follow this guide. Just emerge and you'll be fine. I would expect, that this is not the whole purpose. For example if I use eix gcc, I get two installed versions: 4.1.2 and 4.3.2-r3 gcc -v returns gcc-Version 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1) gcc-config -c returns x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 So, obviously I am not using the new GCC compiler and being honest, I made half a year ago the mistake to deinstall gcc without upgrading.

Re: [gentoo-user] full shutdown
Interesting, I do use that module for sound... I'll try to rmmod it before shutting down... But my older pc (not eeepc) which has the same issue uses another driver... so maybe the problem is both with kernel options and with this driver on the eeepc... ill give it a try! Thanks a lot!

[gentoo-user] Postfix, courier-imap: checks if working
Hi, I'm following this how to: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml after configuring courier-imap they say: Start up your favorite mail client and verify that all connections you've started work for receiving and sending mail. Of course, you won't be able to log on to any of the services because authentication hasn't been configured yet, but it is wise to check if the connections themselves work or not. I'm using mutt, saying there's no mailbox. Creating mailbox is done later in the how to. What do they mean, how can I test if smtpd and pop3d work fine ? Thanks Laurent

[gentoo-user] Accidentally issued hdparm -X /dev/hda on running system
Hi. I wanted to know how was my HD set, and I was issuing information-querying commands like hdparm /dev/hda, hdparm -i /dev/hda when I accidentally issued hdparm -X /dev/hda (idiot me). The hdparm man page does not tell what happens when the -X option is used without an argument. I suspect it is equal to using an argument of 0; the man page says Setting 00 restores the drive´s default PIO mode, and 01 disables IORDY The output of the hdparm -X /dev/hda command mentioned something about IORDY. I then issued hdparm -i /dev/hda and the output said the drive was still in UDMA5. Good sign! Maybe the command did nothing. To be sure, I issued hdparm -X 69 /dev/hda (to set the mode to UDMA5), and issued another hdparm -i /dev/hda (the output seemed identical). I checked dmesg, and I saw at the end one message saying that the mode had been set to UDMA-100 (which is UDMA5 I believe). This is good: this message was probably generated by the hdparm -X 69 /dev/hda command, so the earlier hdparm -X /dev/hda command must have generated no messages, which suggests it did nothing. I then shut the computer down and I writing this from a liveCD. I do not even want to access the disk read only without knowing I have not messed up. So: does anybody know if hdparm -X /dev/hda is safe (on a running system...)? Thank you -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free - Linus Torvalds

[gentoo-user] [OT] Tellico: custom fields
Hi all, I have been using Tellico here for the last several years to catalogue my books, DVDs and CDs/LPs. Now: by default Tellico includes a field called Amazon.com Link where it links the item to it's page on Amazon.com if it exists; the link text says Buy from Amazon.com Now: As these are all items I own, I find little reason to have a link to purchase such items from Amazon. You are able to edit the names and type of each field, and I have done so, changing 'Amazon' to 'wikipedia' so I can have a link to the items wikipedia page which I find much more useful. However, even after affecting this change, the field name correctly says 'Wikipedia Link however the link text still says Buy from Amazon.com. I have scoured the settings but cannot find a way to change this default link text. Does someone know how?

EG: http://www.sturec.com/help/printing/printers.htm http://printers.necsam.com/public/printers/pclcodes/pcl5hp.htm But it depends whether your printer driver supports them, and I very much doubt any of the above will work for you. In some printers that sort of stuff is implemented in hardware (firmware), but yours appears to be a winprinter. I would look at the .ppd files first, to try see if the author has implemented anything like this. I really understand where you're coming from not wanting to mess with imagemagick, but at the end of the day *something* has to raster the ASCII into little pixels, so it's not really that dirty shameful if you have to write a little wrapper script to do so. On my trusty olde HP LaserJet 4000 it may be the onboard hardware PostScript™ which converts the text into character shapes, but your little printer doesn't have so much processing power, so the computer has to do the rendering for it. Thus a wrapper script that calls imagemagick and converts $1 into an image file may merely be considered a userspace driver. If you make the image larger, is this reflected on the printer's output, or does it perhaps get sharper? Is it possible to change the DPI of imagemagick's output? If you run lpr on images of other formats, do they print? You may find a different file format might be sharper, or you might find that postscript files work (handled by CUP's built-in software renderer) and that you can use Ghostscript or something to manipulate the output.

[gentoo-user] Nvidia drivers and a Geforce FX-5200 card.
Hi folks,
I'm trying to upgrade to the newer kernel, namely
gentoo-sources-2.6.29. It seems the drivers won't build against that
kernel or the drivers that do build won't let X come up. How do I find
out what drivers are compatible with what kernels and my old card?
Currently, I am using nvidia-drivers-173.14.09 with
gentoo-sources-2.6.23-gentoo-r8 which are quite old. From my google
search it seems that is the last version that works with the old video card.
The drivers I am currently using works fine for me with my old kernel.
It just doesn't build against the newer kernel or it fails to let the
GUI come up. Any magic tricks? Anybody with a 2.6.29 kernel and a
FX-5200 card care to share what version of drivers they are using? ;-)
I think this is the error log for trying to build the current video
drivers against the newer kernel:

Re: [gentoo-user] Nvidia drivers and a Geforce FX-5200 card.
Hi Dale,
currently I am runnning nvidia-drivers-173.14.15 for my FX-5600 and
kernel version x86_64-2.6.27-gentoo-r8.
I don't know, if the driver 173.14.15 works for you, but if it does,
than kernel 2.6.27 might me a solution.
kind regards,
der Max

Hi folks,
I'm trying to upgrade to the newer kernel, namely
gentoo-sources-2.6.29. It seems the drivers won't build against that
kernel or the drivers that do build won't let X come up. How do I find
out what drivers are compatible with what kernels and my old card?
Currently, I am using nvidia-drivers-173.14.09 with
gentoo-sources-2.6.23-gentoo-r8 which are quite old. From my google
search it seems that is the last version that works with the old video card.
The drivers I am currently using works fine for me with my old kernel.
It just doesn't build against the newer kernel or it fails to let the
GUI come up. Any magic tricks? Anybody with a 2.6.29 kernel and a
FX-5200 card care to share what version of drivers they are using? ;-)
I think this is the error log for trying to build the current video
drivers against the newer kernel:

Most group-sharing use-cases I've encountered have people that are sharing groups share files as read-write anyways, and by default, users have their own private group which nobody else is a member of; i.e. g+rw still won't allow others to write them. For the average user, this is quite fine. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

I do not even want to access the disk read only without knowing I have not messed up. So: does anybody know if hdparm -X /dev/hda is safe (on a running system...)? This setting, like most other hdparm commands, is just temporary. As soon as you reset the drive (happens during a reboot) all goes back to the defaults. I know it is temporary. The problem is that I issued hdparm -X /dev/hda, and hda holds /, swap and everything. The system was in multiuser mode. I fear that the command could have messed up the hard disk, and caused data corruption. I have taken a look at the hdparm source code, and I see that hdparm -X /dev/hda is indeed equivalent to hdparm -X 0 /dev/hda But I still don't know if this is safe. I cannot continue to investigate the source code because it gets to an ioctl about which I know nothing (I think this would be a *lot* of research). I have since fsck'ed all relevant partitions in /dev/hda and they came up clean. Am I safe?
