[gentoo-user] Installation gentoo problem.
Hi. I tryed install gentoo 10.0 and there was: scanning for ata_piix and istallation stopped. If i switch off the sata disk then installation runs good. I try gentoo 10.1 now and stopped on: Scanning for ehci-hcd...usb core. I switch off usb on motherboard and installation continue. But then stopped on: Scanning for scsi_wait_scan. I have not scisi disks. My matherboard is Asus P4P800SE. What to do?
[gentoo-user] lirc / irkick Minor Security Hole?
Hello, This is not strictly a Gentoo issue, but since we have a good habit to report upstream bugs and security issues (and I use Gentoo), I wanted to run by a possible security hole to others. When my machine is locked, I can still use an IR remote, running through lirc and programmed through irkick, as though the machine was unlocked. What likely security area this falls under is not very serious, as someone would need to program a remote control to do strange commands to have any sense of taking control of the machine, and said user must also be local. But, the IR remote should still be unresponsive when the machine is locked (similar to hot keys). I am using KDE 3.5.10, so it's possible this has been resolved in more recent versions. I assume irkick is to blame, but in principle it might be related to lirc. Does anyone have thoughts? Is this worth a security bug report? How would I determine if it's lirc or irkick, or should I just submit to Gentoo devs and maybe they would know better? Regards, daid

If there's a module you don't need to load to install Gentoo, you can use the noload option as described in the handbook (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1chap=2) under Booting the Installation CD, as well as the options listing on the boot screen of the install CD. Just list the modules that are causing problems. John Moe

If it can boot live kernel, then maybe you should try Gentoo 2007.0 or 2008. I've installed plenty of systems with a Gentoo 2007.0 CD-R I have kicking around. ~daid
Re: [gentoo-user] Intel iwl3945 problem
I've recently rebuilt my laptop, and am having trouble getting the wireless to work correctly. My wireless is making an association with my AP, but TCP/IP traffic doesn't seem to want to transmit over it; I can't even ping my AP. TCP/IP works fine on the ethernet adapter. Wireshark (without the ethernet connected) only shows traffic going out the wireless card, not in, and another station on my home network is not seeing the DHCP broadcasts. My access point can see the MAC address of the wireless card in my laptop. I've tried to config the networking with DHCP and static IPs, neither worked. So, the wireless card appears to be working, and TCP/IP appears to be working, but not together. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? I've previously had it working, however, I forgot to grab my kernel config before I wiped the drive, only the /etc folder and my home folder, so there's a good chance that I've done something differently in the kernel config. Use portage to rebuild all the relevant network ebuilds. I've had similar trouble with NetworkManager and my wireless after rebuilding lots of the system, and once I rebuilt NetworkManager then everything was back to normal. So, dhcpcd certainly should be rebuilt, and whatever other things might be related to the wireless in portage. ~daid

I can't think of any other packages that would apply; at least, not that I specified. John Moe

I'm not sure if it was the re-emerging of the three network packages mentioned before, but they didn't seem to do anything afterwards. So then I noticed that FireWire networking module hadn't been built, and that was in there the last build, so I switched CONFIG_IEEE1394_ETH1394 to m, recompiled the kernel, copied it over and rebooted, and suddenly the wireless started working. Could it have needed a reboot after re-emerging the network packages? I can't see how adding FireWire networking support would change anything... Anyway, thanks for the quick suggestions. It seems to be working now. John Moe

Re: [gentoo-user] ftp user, local user, apache group
laurent a écrit : Frank Steinmetzger a écrit : Am Freitag, 9. Oktober 2009 schrieb laurent: Hi, Now I've setup vsftpd with local user. For exemple I log with the user laurent, I create a folder via ftp. This folder is own by laurent, so it's not exessible via apache. How could I make that, like put laurent in a apache group? My setup is a combination of apache and pure-ftpd. My user is member of the apache group, and I have set my home dir to $ ls -ld /home/frank drwxr-x--- 115 frank apache 16384 2009-10-09 22:30 frank That way apache can enter my directory to get into ~/public_html, but other users (such as guests, it's my laptop) cannot. If I log into pure-ftpd with a local user account, it puts me into the respective user's home. Anonymous logins are made for user ftp, which is set up in /home/ftp: $ ls -ld /home/ftp dr-xrwx--- 4 ftpusers4096 2009-09-19 19:45 ftp $ ls -ld /home/ftp/incoming drwxrwxr-x 2 ftpusers4096 2009-09-16 23:58 /home/ftp/incoming/ This setup allows me as the admin user to have control over the files in the anonymous ftp root, and anonymous users may only upload stuff in the incoming directory. I don't really know how to play with groups and user, any good tutorial on that? Just search for it, keywords such as file permissions chown may help: http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix/513350-linux-file-permissions-executables-howto.html http://penguinpetes.com/b2evo/index.php?title=chmod_squad_howto_use_linux_file_permiss The latter is more informative on how to use groups in detail. Hi Franck Ok, after reading that I guess: I could create a 'connects' group and put my apache user in it. So apache will have control over the files in www own by apache:connects. set to 760 recursively, for exemple. And then add other local user to the connector group. Then as they will be able to connect on ftp as a local user they will be able to read write files that apache will be able to execute. I'm gonna do that now :) thx Laurent 760 does not work. ftp can't change directory...so I put 770 to www, it works. L

[gentoo-user] KDE 3.5 and desktop links not working
Hi, I have KDE 4 installed as well and I think this is causing the problem but hope there is a fix for this little boo boo. I have links to locations on my desktop so that I can click on them to get to places directly. I have one for camera pics, another for movies and a few others. I upgraded KDE 4 the other day and logged into it for a little while. I'm now back in KDE 3.5 and my desktop links no longer work. When I click on them, it tries to open them with Dolphin and even asks for a password. The permissions are correct. Owner is dale and group is users. I should also add that if I type in the password, user or root, it does nothing at all. It just sits there. I thought I could just delete the old links and recreate them and get that to work. It didn't. It does the same thing. It tries to open them with Dolphin and asks for the password. Oh, did I mention I deleted my Documents folder by mistake? I thought it was a link but it wasn't. Backups are so sweet. ;-) Anybody know how to fix this? I checked the file associations options but it looks weird. No clue what was there before KDE 4 came along. Could someone tell me what is in theirs if your still works? Maybe that would fix it. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: my xorg-server 1.6 seems a bit unstable - what am I doing wrong?
Ordinarily, I would also point to I/O errors, but not this time. I have had this same version of Mathematica, 5.2, for *years*, on this same machine, over several kernels and several Xorg upgrades, and it was rock-solid. Not one X hang or crash. Ever. No error messages or I/O warnings ever. The only thing I'd ever see in the console would be GTK+ errors from other programs. Something about this latest X upgrade is making Mathematica unhappy, either because some previously supported format that worked fine with it has been altered or something else in that general regard. This version being so outdated - that isn't a surprise. It may not be a bug, so much as an incompatibility, perhaps I think the only thing I can do at this point that probably will fix this is to go to stable arch, but I am not willing to do that because I like my box the way it is now :-) It's great and efficient for all other things. Before I can get a local Mathematica upgrade, I will have to resort to using it via X forwarding off the central server.

Before I can get a local Mathematica upgrade, I will have to resort to using it via X forwarding off the central server. I forgot to mention this earlier. The way I found out it was a I/O error for me was this command. hdparm -Tt /dev/hda hdparm -Tt /dev/hda . I kept repeating that until it starting giving me errors. For mine it was after the third pass. Something to keep in mind, it could be something wrong with the driver in the kernel you are using. It could be any number of things like this. It could be that it is a mismatch as you mentioned between Mathematica and some other support program such as gtk, python or any other number of things. Me, I would hop on a mailing list for that software and ask them what strace command you can run and then send them the results. It may be that they can make some sense of the error and recommend a fix or even a downgrade of some other package. You may also want to use the q command to see what was upgraded since it last worked. That might point to something too. I think it is the q command that does that. Dale :-) :-)

[gentoo-user] big fonts after Xorg update
Hi, I just updated from xorg-server 1.3.0.0-r6 to 1.6. After the upgrade I see a lot of applications have now much bigger fonts then they used to have (the fonts and font sizes of course are the same - they just appear bigger). Examples are KDM, Konsole, most KDE apps (GNOME applications seem not to be affected). The increased fonts looks a bit as when I connect via VNC to the diplay manager session (with the Xorg VNC module). I had the same effect already when I tried to upgrade to Xorg 1.5 (which was why I had to revert back to 1.3). This is a VMware virtual machine with the VMware tools installed and running. What can I do to avoid the font increase? Thorsten

Find this line: ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp And add -dpi 96 to it: ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp -dpi 96 Restart X.

On one external projector it even went to 800x600 (even though it seemed that 1024x768 was common). What happens when the screen sets a resolution it thinks the external can do, which it does but it either tears (often seems to happen as projectors age, though you can usually select a lower resolution using xrandr) or goes black? - Ive had cases where both the internal LCD and external monitor go black together - though not for awhile :( Many of our projectors seem to advertise high resolutions to the laptop, but are actually a lot lower, using conversion to display it - usually quite poorly. With a 1366x768 screen on the laptop, a few projectors accept that but badly distort in X or Y to fit the 4x3 aspect ratio they use - note that these are institutionally managed displays so I don't get access to the controls - I have to fit in with them :( Then there is Mythtv, as 1366x768 isnt the same as 1360x768 which my 3 digital TV's with PC inputs (not HDMI) want, 1360x768 is unavailable unless I USE=-hal for xorg-server, and then turn off EDID and DDC in xorg.conf. And yes, it works perfectly when I do. And I didnt need to do this before X tried to get too smart for itself. The problem with using hal is not so much that it often does not work well (which it doesn't), but that you cant override it to get the control back. People might be satisfied with it if they don't know better, but I have had a lot of fights over the years to get X to do what I want and when it wont do what I know it can do, its really frustrating, especially as my workflow is set around various resolutions in particular locations. Its a lot easier on a desktop, but even there I dont have a single system that is totally happy with no xorg.conf. Problems range from ignoring the xorg ati driver in favour of vesa (why?), to choosing resolutions that are not optimal so these have partial xorg.conf's to fix just those areas that need overriding. If windows and Macs can do it without arcane manual configuration, why cant X? Maybe in the future it will get sorted, but at the moment they have a long way to go. BillK
