[gentoo-user] LXDE
I want to use LXDE as a Desktop on a fresh install of Gentoo on a laptop (amd64). It seems to work, but when I logout it hangs. It never returns to the command prompt and the keyboard doesn't work so I can switch to an alternate terminal. Has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it? Thanks, dhk

No. But try Alt-SysRq-R, this removes keyboard control from X, and you
should be able to switch to a text terminal.
If not, Alt-SysRq-{E,I,S,U,B} (with little pasues between each) will at
least do a cleaner reboot than hitting the reset button.
If you have another PC to log in from, try this, and use the chvt commadn to
change the virtual terminal.

Re: [gentoo-user] internal-sftp and logs files
Good afternoon,
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.security.ssh/browse_thread/thread/ce30a1d9889dc2e2?pli=1
The tip above link to solve the problem. I had found this link, however
I was creating the log file in the dev directory of the chroot user.
With the command strace I noticed what was happening permission error
file access.
Effectively you need only create the dev directory, the Log Files
syslog-ng will automatically create. The log file is actually a socket
file that syslog-ng will create.
Solution:
My mistake was to manually create the log file in the dev directory of
the chroot user.
An example of directory is:
User: naira
Home directory: /var/www/naira.com.br
-- File sshd_config
Match Group customers
ChrootDirectory %h
ForceCommand internal-sftp-l VERBOSE f-AUTH
-- File syslog-ng.conf
source src {
unix-stream(/dev/log);
internal();
unix-stream(/var/www/naira.com.br/dev/log);
};
# ls -lah /var/www/naira.com.br/
drwxrwxr-x 13 root root 3.8K Mar 1 14:58 dev
Restart syslog-ng.
Thanks.

2011/3/1 Naira Kaieskina...@faccat.br:
Good afternoon,
Staff set up openssh to direct users to a certain group members to a chroot
environment and these users will have access only to the server using sftp
protocol.
Put in the sshd_config file:
Match Group customers
ChrootDirectory% h
ForceCommand internal-sftp-l VERBOSE f-AUTH
Thus each user is directed to the chroot environment indicated in the
variable% h (home directory defined in / etc / passwd)
An example of directory is:
User: naira
Home directory: /var/www/naira.com.br
The problem is that I am not able to capture logs of the user group
clients that are targeted to the chroot environment. Access via
internal-sftp from other users who do not belong to the client I get the
logs in auth.log files.
I'm using syslog-ng.
Has anyone ever made this kind of setup?
Thanks,

Hi!

[gentoo-user] Re: udevd not running after boot
2011/3/1 klondike franxisco1...@gmail.com: Hi I have installed sys-fs/udev-151-r4 USE=extras -devfs-compat -old-hd-rules (-selinux) -test on an almost clean hardened stage3 and I found that after rebooting it won't run. It could be a problem of the .config but turns out it runs and works like a charm when started manually. So my question is, what could be happening? How can I fix it? FWIW the system uses baselayout-1 Seem that the initrd leaked a mounted /dev/ at then end, fixing the initrd solved the problem.

Re: [gentoo-user] LXDE
I want to use LXDE as a Desktop on a fresh install of Gentoo on a laptop (amd64). It seems to work, but when I logout it hangs. It never returns to the command prompt and the keyboard doesn't work so I can switch to an alternate terminal. Strange. Never used LXDE, but KDE and Xfce I never had such a problem with startx. Anyway, if you're serious about using it, probably you'll want xdm and likely slim (since you're running something lightweight). Yeah, I ran startx for two years because I'm that lazy, but anyway, it's a good idea. From XDM you can get a terminal if you want. This is only at best a work around (or indication of deeper problems), but you may try it. Just make sure you edit slim.conf for your login_cmd since for zsh you get a little wrecked if you don't...

Let me get you my USE flags for reference: cups dbus gstreamer gtk java ldap nsplugin opengl* pam (-aqua) -bash-completion* -binfilter -debug -eds -gnome -kde (-kdeenablefinal) -odk -templates I hope that's cool for you. So I didn't build it with opengl, but I did with bash-completion, and I changed make.conf since. Anyway, if you ask me, libreoffice is still in the works in terms of the ebuild. I don't want to toot my own horn, but see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295268 which very well indicates that the libreoffice ebuild was not derived from, nor seriously considering past problems encountered by, the openoffice ebuild. IMO I'd hash it to a libreoffice problem, since I can open your document over here. Don't get me wrong, I'll be more than happy to switch to libreoffice, but I'm not convinced, at the very least, that the Gentoo team has it squared away yet. No blame there, it's just as easily an upstream problem. But I really doubt it's a USE flag... Cheers, daid
[gentoo-user] tmux first impression

I read that but still would love to here of someone else's experience.
From that link tho, it sounds . . . interesting.
I emerged tmux a couple of hours ago and have been playing around with
it. It looks like fun. I have a 24 LCD monitor. I prefer console text
mode for non-graphic stuff (e.g. email). Here's what I've done so
far...
1) grep 1280 /var/log/Xorg.0.log
This gives me a list of 1280xwhatever modes that my monitor supports.
In my case, it's 1280x720 and 1280x960 and 1280x1024.
2) I entered the line
CONSOLEFONT=lat1-14
in /etc/conf.d/consolefont
3) and also video=1280x720 in the append line of /etc/lilo.conf
4) I entered the line
set -g prefix C-a
in ~/.tmux.conf because every site on the web that reviewed it said that
was the way to go. Apparently, the developer uses {CONTROL-B} as the
default hotkey to avoid colliding with {CONTROL-A} which screen uses.
But everyone agrees that {CONTROL-B} is badly placed on the keyboard.
5) Then I rebooted
The text console mode is now 1280 pixels x 720 pixels as per the
video= parameter. The consolefont sets 8x14 (EGA) font. A bit of
division gives...
1280 / 8 = 160
720 / 14 = 51 plus a bit.
So I have a 160 x 51 text console. I fired up tmux, and split the
screen vertically. I now have 2 panes. The first one is 80 x 50 and
the second is 79 x 50. This is after allowing for the vertical dividing
line (one column) and the status bar at the bottom. The 14-pixel high
font is quite nice. And on a 24 monitor it's very readable. If you
prefer, you could go with the 16-pixel high (VGA) font. That gives 720
/ 16 = 45 rows, or 44 working rows plus the status line. Both text
pages are in portrait mode, i.e. they're higher than they are wide.
Sort of like 2 facing pages of a book. This could be useful for
editing a program in one pane, and then compile and execute in another.
If your eyesight is better than mine, you could try video=1280x960
and 16-pixel high font, which will give a 160 x 60 text console.
I like it. One of these days, when desktop monitors hit 30, I'll set
the video to 1920x1080 and have 3 pages across. G

I installed it too. It seems a lot like screen to me and screen seems
to do what I need. I did hit ctrl a several times tho. lol I was
wondering what would happen if you started tmux then started a screen
session inside it.
My 22 LCD monitor is 1920x1080. Since my glasses are sort of old, I
would rather have a slightly smaller screen. I need new glasses for
sure. Anyway, I got everything set up for this size now.
I may play with tmux some more tho. I do like the little status thingy
at the bottom. I had that on screen on my old rig but forgot to copy it
over to my new rig.
Thanks for the post and the tips.
