[gentoo-user] emerge gnome fail
Hi, this is a resume post from... http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org/msg102327.html -- I follow all step of http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml but when i finally go to install gnome... in the latests package (mailclient or something similar) fail... Alex Schuster answer: Use emerge --resume --skipfirst to continue where you were, skipping this package. Or simply emerge --keep-going package, this will continue automatically even if a package fails. To compile the package that faileed, there is often a bug report on bugs.gentoo.org already. Just google for the error message, and if you're lucky, you will find the solution. If not, just open a new bug report :) David Abbott suggest: check out man emerge and some useful parameters like --skip-first, --resume and --keep-going. Stroller: Have you rebooted the system yet? Don't bother about installing Gnome until you've done so. Be absolutely minimal in your steps, if they're not directly related to having a working system. A DE is eyecandy - just get the disks prepared, the files copied, the kernel installed and the bootloader going. When the system boots for the first time to a plain console you can then log in as root and add ~jose, cron, syslog, GUI (although you'll probably want to install GNU screen a little bit earlier). -- Finally i re-try emerge gnome and package that i thought that fails was... mail-client/evolution-2.28.3.1 saying... libmail-evolution.so is not portable. Maybe this is only a warning... i'll use emerge --keep-going gnome and be patient to compilation finish... and libmail-evolution.so is not portable apear varios times from diferent .la and finally go to next package... and compilation finish successful.

IIRC, that means that I have to give universal write access, perhaps with a sticky bit, on that directory. Don't be absurd. Yanrc (you are not remembering correctly). No sane software would require that, much less mail server software. The database approach makes much more sense from a security point of view, Ridiculous... as nobody accesses the filesystem directly, except the database manager. And in the case of dc, nobody accesses the mail store except the mail user you designated, and with only enough permissions to get the job done and no more. Storing mail in a database sounds interesting, but it *will* introduce a very noticeable performance hit, there is simply no way around it... Actually, it doesn't. Actually, it does. You may be correct for a mail system with only a few low volume users, but on a real mail server, with many hundreds or thousands of users (many of which are heavy/power users), there is no way a DB could compete with a filesystem. Now, I'm not saying it wouldn't work - even reasonably well - I'm just saying there *would* be a performance hit, and the resource requirements would be greater as well. But this is Gentoo. We get new releases when the Gentoo dev's allow the new package through. But this is gentoo - you can write your own ebuild, right? ;) j/k, I get that answer too often, I just couldn't resist. That said, thankfully dc is reasonably well supported in gentoo... That said... does anyone know of a repo that provides good quality up to date builds of dovecot - maybe even including the 2.0 betas? Sieve is also integrated into dbmail. And dovecot... and 2.0 will have even better integration. But I have that now. ... :-) I know, but your words suggested that it wasn't integrated into dc, so I was just pointing out yet another incorrect assumption on your part. You sound like a Microsoft zealot from the 1990's, where the next release of your favourite product will have every feature imaginable -- and totally debugged too! ? no need for insults, asshole - I could say the same thing about how you are praising your dbmail setup. I'm just pointing out your apparently bad info on dovecot... Oh - and procmail sucks balls...

[gentoo-user] Need help with samba (Possibly OT)
My personal workstation is a dual-boot setup with Gentoo and Windows XP. A long time ago, I set up Samba on another computer on my network to provide extra hard drive space to our Windows installations. They used to work, but we haven't used them in some time. I tried to use it today and it didn't work. When I try to connect to the samba share from my linux install, I get this: mich...@camille ~ $ smbclient //carter//home Enter michael's password: Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.6] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME mich...@camille ~ $ smbclient //carter//michael Enter michael's password: Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.6] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME (The host name is carter, and I didn't understand what the second part should be.) Also, I didn't know if michael's password meant my password on my local box, my password on the remote box, or some password I set up for Samba forever ago...
