It looks like DKMS failed to find a maintainer 10 years ago.

• https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100754 


Could it have been rolled into another package since then?

Has anyone here already played with GitPrep?

That looks rather straightforward to package (but I haven't done it yet...)

Because I have a module that is outside the kernel tree:

Is the above, but with some modifications.

Which is due to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490676 (I still fail 
to understand the reasoning behind the change, but oh well).  Personally, I 
manually override Gentoo's own override in order to retain upstream behaviour.

[gentoo-user] Mount UPnP MediaServers as FUSE filesystem

[Fernando Rodriguez]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

Hello,

I just want to share this project I've been working on. It is a fork of djmount
[1] with the following fixes/improvements:

1. Unbundled and updated library dependencies to recent versions.
2. Multi-home support. The original djmount will run the UPnP client on the
   first interface it sees. If it is disconnected you need to restart the 
daemon 
   or it stops working. This version monitors the networks interface and as soon
   as network connections are up it launches a client on them.
3. More reliable device discovery. Once a device is detected it stays on the
   list as long as it's available. Most UPnP clients drop the devices if UDP
   packets get lost (ie. due to high network traffic).
4. Support for streaming files larger than 2GB.
5. Streaming engine with adaptive buffering.
6. Fixed several quite large memory leaks.

Basicly you just start the daemon and all the UPnP media devices on any 
networks you 
connect to will appear as directories on the mount point them you can use any 
media player 
to play them like a regular file. For best results you should disable all 
buffering on the 
media player.

It comes with a systemd unit (it's installed if the systemd flag is enabled) 
that
mounts it at /media/UPnP. There's no openrc init script but if anyone wants to 
write
one.

The code is on github [2]. You can submit bugs and pull requests there. I've 
also
created an overlay [3] for it. I will soon be adding other related projects 
I've been
working on to that overlay and github organization. To install it just add the
overlay and emerge net-fs/avmount. It requires the FUSE module to be loaded or 
builtin.
To start it with systemd run systemctl start avmount and manually avmount 
.

[gentoo-user] firewall -> kernel hardlock error

[Corbin Bird]

Getting an error with kernel 4.1.28 ( USE="experimental symlink" )
The firewall ( 2 different packages tried ) locks up the machine during 
boot.


The old kernel ( 4.1.27 ) worked with no errors.
I copied the /usr/src/linux/.config file over from kernel 4.1.27.
Used "make menuconfig" to check if changes were needed.
Recompiled 3 different times, minor changes, same result.

reinstalled iptables, nftables, and ran "perl-cleaner reallyall".

Always locks up after rules compiled / starting to initialize iptables.

The firewalls tried :
arno-iptables-firewall, shorewall

Part of the kernel 4.1.28 change-log :


Florian Westphal (20):
  ipv6: re-enable fragment header matching in ipv6_find_hdr
  netfilter: x_tables: validate e->target_offset early
  netfilter: x_tables: make sure e->next_offset covers remaining

  netfilter: x_tables: xt_compat_match_from_user doesn't need a retval
  netfilter: x_tables: do compat validation via translate_table
  netfilter: x_tables: introduce and use xt_copy_counters_from_user

I suspect this may have something to do with it.

Is anyone else seeing / experiencing this problem?

What I find is that even though I have uvesafb as a module, and nouveau
as a module nouveau gets loaded automatically and I get a frame buffer
which seems not too bad, not as good as the uvesafb one, but it will do
for the time being.  I have a 1920x1080 screen.

For the framebuffer drivers that may not work. For a trident card I use
tridentfb.mode_option=1280x1024@60. The options for the different drivers
can be found on the kernel documentation on Documentation/fb.

What worked best for me with nouveau on recent kernels is to disable all
framebuffer drivers and enable CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION. It will boot into
the framebuffer without flicker.

You can also use the VESA driver to boot and then load the nouveau
module (which udev should do automatically for you). For me this switches
to the fb console as soon as the module loads but it gives me a blank
screen or a panic if any other fb drivers than VESA are builtin or loaded.

Thanks for this tip Michael, it works perfectly.  While I was there, I also 
copied over all k3b shortcuts too.  :-)

Shouldn't all these get picked up automatically when Plasma is installed and 
symlinked?

  A cron job is the simplest way.  Have cron run the command...

find /tmp -mtime +9 -execdir rm -rf {} \;

...every day.  "-mtime" (number of days ago the file was last modified)
truncates fractions, so +9 (i.e. greater than 9 days) means *AT LEAST
10 DAYS*.  If you want to delete all old files by all users, including
root, the command would have to be run as root.

[gentoo-user] Install dkms: which package

I run firefox 47.0.1 and don't have that kind of problem.
Though to solve this you could try a few things :
- rebuild firefox (if you built it, instead of using the binary one) with
-ggdb CFLAG and debug USE flag, and then run it under gdb.
Then you could try to reproduce the segfault, and gdb would tell you 
where
it crashed (even the source files and guilty lines), and push that to
Mozilla's bugzilla and/or package maintainer to get a patch in the 
meantime

- at least just try to reproduce the bug, and file it to Mozilla / package
maintainer to get them to reproduce it and fix it

- or simply downgrade to the previous version. :)


Chrome hasn't the faintest customisation firefox grants us thanks to its
XML-JS-CSS UI Structure, and the quantity of modules is simply incredible
(plus it's not Google behind, that can't be anything but a plus).

There is an ongoing issue with KDE Applications displaying missing icons
outside of a Plasma environment, due to a behaviour change in Qt 5 where
it tries to automatically theme (including icon theme) applications
based on the running environment.

As a workaround, try exporting XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="KDE" prior to
running Dolphin.

 It is expected that kim4 (kdelibs4-based) does not work with
 KF5-based Dolphin.

Have you tried giving that user a regular shell without changing anything

 I've been following this thread and thinking the same thing but
 wasn't sure.

 What if you invoke the shell directly instead of the script, either:
 /bin/sh -c "" or /bin/sh -c "$(cat

If you're using systemd this should all be default behavior, unless overridden.

tmpfs ought to be created as a tmpfs due to
/usr/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount unless you tell it to do something
else in fstab or your own tmp.mount, or you somehow disable it.

That alone should clear it on every reboot.

I checked and it looks like the default on Gentoo is to not clear
tmpfiles on a running system at all:
cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf
v /tmp 1777 root root
v /var/tmp 1777 root root

If you create /etc/tmpfiles.d/mytmp.conf and put those lines with a
"10d" afterwards then it should purge files older than 10 days
automatically.  I think.  I don't know exactly how tmpfiles.d
overrides work.  You might have to copy the entire file to
/etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf and then edit those two lines in place.  Be
sure to keep the exclusions, you don't want to kill tmpfiles for
running daemons.

Or you can of course use something like tmpreaper.  I still have that
running from my openrc days, and it of course works fine with systemd.

[gentoo-user] Delete /tmp content

[Hogren]

  Hello everybody !

After several strange problems, I discovered that my /tmp content was 
never deleted.


Is there a natif mechanism (with fstab or other option) and it's just a 
misconfiguration or there isn't, and I need to use a systemd service ?


Thanks for your responses !!

[gentoo-user] radius use flags

[hw]

Hi,

is this what I should expect:


equery uses freeradius
!!! No USE flags found for net-dialup/freeradius-3.0.11-r1


No use flags?  The wiki page[1] says otherwise?  Or is this
version too old?

Does it have mysql support out of the box?
