  2. I am not sure but my guess is that the gstreamer allows me to watch
 the video from youtube (partially), edX, cousera, etc. in a web-browser
 (I mainly use Firefox), as I never install any flash player to avoid
 too many flashing while browsing the Internet. (Would be interested
 to know if this my guess is correct.)

Yes, you are correct, at least for Firefox (but I would be surprised if it were
different for qtwebkit). Note that the dependencies aren't specified in the
ebuild itself, but in the mozconfig-* eclasses.  See for example the
mozconfig-v5.34 eclass:

gstreamer? (
=media-libs/gstreamer-1.2.3:1.0
=media-libs/gst-plugins-base-1.2.3:1.0
=media-libs/gst-plugins-good-1.2.3:1.0
=media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav-1.1.0_pre20130128-r1:1.0
)

The libav gstreamer plug-in is what lets you watch MP4 videos (and don't let the
name fool you, it also works with ffmpeg). And if you install
gst-plugins-mad:1.0, then you can also play MP3s in Firefox (see
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536530).

   I use the Seamonkey variant of Firefox.  It has a more classic GUI
 interface, and a few other differences.  It also has an option in the
 settings...
 
 Edit == Preferences == Advanced == Scripts  Plugins
 
   You can choose whether or not to Activate all plugins by default.
 ***THIS IS NOT AN ADDON*** like Flashblock, so you don't have to worry
 about the author keeping up with the current version of the browser.  It
 is a built-in setting.  If you turn that option off, you get a box that
 says Activate Adobe Flash on any page with Flash on it.  You can click
 on the box, and that activates only the one instance.  If there are
 several flash boxes on a page, you can click on just the one(s) you
 want.

A variant of this setting also exists in Firefox, albeit it is accessed from the
about:addons page under Plugins.  There you get a per-plugin tri-state setting,
where you can choose between always on, always off, or always ask.  With
the latter, you get the same behaviour you described: a placeholder that you can
click to selectively activate Flash.

Personally, I don't like that way of doing things, because unless you
completely deactivate Flash, Youtube will stupidly never attempt to use HTML5
videos (I guess it sees that you have Flash installed?). Thus, I use the
FlashDisable extension, which simply makes it easier to toggle between always
on and always off (although it won't allow you to selectively activate
Flash per instance on a page, which is too bad, although I rarely see this).

One thing I've joyfully noticed is how rare the instances where I need to
activate Flash are becoming :-) .

[gentoo-user] Source for checksums of installed files

2015-02-14 Thread Jan Sever
Hi all,

I was looking for information about the source for checksums of installed
files but I didn't find. I'd like to know whether Portage makes checksums
(for equery check) from installed files in /, or in /var/tmp/portage. And
similarly whether it makes binary packages (when asked) from /, or again
from /var/tmp/portage. It'd make sense, it'd make it from /var/tmp/portage
but I'm not sure of that.

I have suspicion that my SSD doesn't work quite well, so I mount /var/tmp
from memory and I'd like to know whether the final checksums and binary
packages cannot be corrupted from SSD.

Of course I thought about the possibility that emerging packages from
possibly corrupted system is not quite OK but it seems to work.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

  I have a network printer and I would like to setup my laptop to print

  The printer IP is: socket://10.0.0.105
  and lpd://10.0.0.106/BINARY_P1
  
  I think I need some entries in VPN config files isn't it?
 
 Does the VPN server also have a 10.0.0.x address? If so, you just need
 to tell the VPN clients that they can reach the 10.0.0.x network via the
 VPN, i.e. by routing through your VPN server.
 
 We have pretty much the same setup, with our VPN server sitting on
 10.1.1.1 with some other private IP address. This is the client config
 
 for the OpenVPN server:
   # cat /etc/openvpn/client-config/DEFAULT
   push route 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0
 
 Then you point to that in openvpn.conf (also on the server):
   # grep client-config /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
   client-config-dir client-config
 
 After that, any new client connections will just know that 10.1.1.x can
 be reached over the VPN.
 
 Thank for replying.
 
 My eeepc VPN IP: 192.168.151.9  is the client connected over VPN to server
 VPN IP 192.168.151.1
 
 So I inserted on eeepc (client) to /etc/openvpn/eeepc.conf
 ...
 
  push route 192.168.151.0   255.255.255.0
 
 On a server 192.168.151.1  I have file:
 /etc/openvpn/server.conf
 /etc/openvpn/ccd/eeepc
 
 in /etc/openvpn/ccd/eeepc is:
 ifconfig-push 192.168.151.9 255.255.255.0
 
 Do I add to eeepc
 client-config-dir ???
 
 Which file on a server do I modify?
 
 One more question.
 
 Do I modify on a client eeepc file:
 
 /etc/cups/client.conf
 
 and add:
 ServerName 192.168.151.1:631

DISCLAIMER:  I don't use OpenVPN, but IKE/IPSec.  In any case, similar routing 
principles apply.

Your printer is on a different subnet than your laptop.  Therefore, unless you 
have set up routing in your VPN gateway from 192.168.151.0/24 to 10.0.0.0/24 I 
don't think you will be able to connect to the printer.

In addition, follow the example that Michael has suggested above on your 
laptop to be able to route packets in it to 10.0.0.0/24 via the openvpn 
gateway.

If you want to *only* allow connections to the printer, but not other devices 
within the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet, then adjust the route declarations for 
10.0.0.106/32.

 Where this service unit file came from? Did you write it yourself?


I had assumed it was part of systemd, but now i remember I copied it from a

 If it's a static network (meaning, the computer does not usually moves
 physically), why don't you use a .network unit file (man 5 systemd.network)?


I'm converting my configs over to that now. Thanks.

You are using something which is not recommended by developers, that is
'-- extra portage parameters', telling perl-cleaner to pass
additional package manager parameters, not sure why is not recommended,
but it warns you, also in 'perl-cleaner --help' or man page it says it
is not recommended to do that. 

There is probably case when you can do
something wrong, but also it can be safe too passing some parameters
which don't affect build like '--ask'. 
One case which may be problematic (or not, just guessing) is --jobs=N,
what will happen if one perl module depend on the other, and they are
building at the same time?

2015-02-14 Thread James
Bill Kenworthy billk at iinet.net.au writes:


 rpm is just a wrapper around a an archive with instructions on how to
 build and or install it.  I have more experience with rpm's but I
 believe debs are the same.  Just unwrap your .rpm/.deb file of choice
 and install it manually (the binaries/code are usually in a zip inside
 the rpm).  You should in most cases also be able to get a source rpm
 (which I suspect you are talking about anyway, but binaries do work deps
 permitting.

Yes the point is to be able to rapidly/easily be able to test and evaluate
many cluster/hpc codes, and other codes too, before I open them up
and look at them in detail, manually.


 you can install rpm and then install your package via rpm - seem to
 remember doing this with .debs somehow too.  deps are a problem but
 usually workable.

This is the argument for setting up an entire RH or debian workstation
to quickly evaluate the codes to find that less than %5 which are fast
and worthy of a deeper look. There are dozens of 'schedulers' for clusters
and then the concept of a 'framework' is even more loose or unconstrained
and the myriad of associated codes (modules) that one can use. It fact many
are pushing 'write your own framework'. It's hard to
categorize codes into a discernible 'stack' when it comes to HPC or cluster
offerings. Apache says one thing, a guy writing a book says another. It's
like the wild wild west with lots of folks (mostly large corps) shoot from
the hip and shooting off at the mouth. Many idiots and deceivers in this
space; and I intend to benchmark, profile and expose some of the myths.

So then I'll unpack the sources onto a gentoo system for deep examination
and low level (profile ) testing and evaluation and maybe creating an
ebuild if I like what I see. Distributing bloatware across a cluster
or on a HPC system, is a fools errand, imho, but that is exactly what
many are doing. It's very hard to figure out if they are 'flim_flam' artists
or sincerely belief their own musings.


 and why set up a workstation? - this sort of thing is tailor made for
 vm's.  Create a base for your experiments with essential packages,
 settings etc, snapshot it (golden master) and then throwaway-restore
 when finished with that iteration.

Ultimately, I think a VM or containers environment would be keen. I
liked docker, initially, but, like systemd, it is now bloating  so much that
it is becoming an entire operating system on it's own. Docker is too much
for me to worry about and learn. CoreOS is still attractive to me, but
it probably too much for me to divert into, at this time.  I'm really more
after HPC (high performance computing of scientific codes) than clustering
of a bizzilion processes (like log/web file analytics). That sort of stuff
is not hard to distribute, hadoop is sufficient for those routine, boring
codes and processes that are not time_critical. I'll do some of those
ordinary  tasks  but many cluster/hpc solutions already work good enough for
routine admin style processes, imho.


Big Science solutions using cluster or HPC are still very fragmented
if you look at some low level performance data. It takes a very specialized
focus to solve a given category of Big Science codes if you want to approach
any sort of reasonable robustness. It's like you need
a custom designed (HPCC) High Performance Computational Cluster with
a unique (at least highly customized and tweaked) implementation for each of
the many different possible configuration solutions. This part is evolving
on a daily basis, so apologies if it seems sketchy because it is sketchy at
best. I think where I'll end up is a myriad of HPCC, architecturally unique,
running along side of each other, mostly asleep until needed. It's even more
'fluid' when you consider the GPU resources, arm64 processors and the new
integrated CISC chips like the amd APU and the Intel+fpga chips.


 There are package managers besides gentoo/portage that can do a source
 build/install and track the files on gentoo - though portage will not
 know about it (rpm is one :)

H. Where do I read more about this?


 and lastly, what do mean error prone? - to me a manual install is the
 ONLY way you can build a proper ebuild that catches most of the
 problems.  In the (admittedly few) ebuilds I have done an occasional
 human error is nothing compared to system problems for a difficult 
 package.

Error prone with manual steps, due to the large amount of codes I
am evaluating. Once I get down to less than 5% then the manual
processes are fine, if not superior, as I'm also reviewing the codes
of interest.  It's also me, if I do not impose self_structure, I get
sloppy with trying to manually speed things up. Also, if you go
back to the days of .configure and look at many different make files,
there is little coding consistency among different codes; boost and other
lib codes are the best you can hope for on consistency, imho. ymmv.

OK? Keep in mind that I'm an EE, hardware guy

 Considering the size of what you are doing, you are probably better off
 running a Centos and Debian system to evaluate the code and discard the
 rubbish. Once you've isolated the interesting ones, you can evaluate
 them closer and maybe write ebuilds for them.

Workflow is the first test. Second unpack and look at the code
to maybe 5% of what I test. The tests I'm developing are low
level code profiling. Once I figure it all out what I need manually
looking at many (cluster/hpc) codes, then I hope to use CI
to automate the process of first performance profiling the codes.


THEN unpack and look at the codes iff it is impressive on performance. 

I am leaning towards a separate box for these evaluations, but a

 So I inserted on eeepc (client) to /etc/openvpn/eeepc.conf

  push route 192.168.151.0   255.255.255.0

This goes on the server, in whatever directory (ccd?) you're using for
the client configs. It's specified by the client-config-dir parameter in
openvpn.conf on the server. Add it to a file called DEFAULT so it
applies to every VPN client.

Once you have that set up (don't forget to restart OpenVPN!), connect to
the VPN with your EeePC. You should see something in the logs like,

Feb 14 10:40:40 [openvpn] SENT CONTROL [vpn1.example.com]:
'PUSH_REQUEST' (status=1)

Feb 14 10:40:40 [openvpn] PUSH: Received control message:

... (more /bin/ip/route commands)

At that point your EeePC should be able to ping things on the 10.1.1.x
subnet. Make sure that works, and then start messing with the printer.

You shouldn't need anything on the client except a minimal openvpn.conf
and your keys.

 Good reason? I don't understand.
 
 He meant he didn't have an answer for you.

Ah, I see now. I should have known it wasn't because he didn't want.

Yes, I can read the words, Neil  ;-)  I just want to know whether it's 
safe to ignore the warning even when issued with such vigour. As I said, 
I can't see anything dangerous in the arguments I pass in the alias.

Those should be safe, none of your selected options change the final output.

Personally, I think the warning is going a tad overboard, but hey to
each dev his own

Sorry, I forget that there are so many here for whom English is not

many of the people I meet each day :-O

Nor can I. The warning is really saying you are using an
unsupported combination of options. Rather than saying they are unsafe,
it is saying they are not certain to be safe. The decision is yours, but
my reaction to the warning is along the like of OK, whatever and then I
do it anyway.

You need to ask better people :P
 
 It's also very rare to have a file owned by root in a user directory,
 and even rarer for the user to spot the oddity. Most folks just don;t
 need to know that level of detail

I most often see it when editing a user config file as root. The file
keeps the original ownership but the ~ backu file is created and owned by
root.
