[gentoo-user] ssh stalls - please help

2012-05-08 Thread Helmut Jarausch

Hi,

probably since I've emerged openssh-6.0_p1 and/or git-sources-3.4_rc? I  
have problems with ssh.
scp as well as filezilla as well as  rsync -e 'ssh' stall when  
transmitting a somewhat larger file.

This might be as few as 500 Kb on a slow network (256 Kbit/s).
But it occurs on a fast network (100 Mbit/s) as well, when transmitting  
a larger file.


ssh not only stalls but seems to hang indefinitely.

Is this bug known and is there a work around?

Many thanks for some help,
Helmut.

Sorry no answer, but I also saw this when using scp. I wasn't sure what
it was. But you're not alone... ;-)

Maybe we should just downgrade?

Yes it is, search b.g.o.

The problem is caused by the server running openssh-0.6_p1 with the hpn
USE flag, which is enabled by default. Either downgrade to 5.x or
re-emerge with USE=-hpn. I did the latter and everything is working as
it should now.

Well, not everything, my knee is still shot but SSH works :(

 Routers can usually also write to a tftp or ftp server. Those are
 actually simpler to set up. 
 
 To use HTTP you would also have to set up a POST handler.

Well a small web-server is going to handle the POST headers for you -
you're not going to have to write everything from scratch.

Re: [gentoo-user] Recommend a tftp server that works?

2012-05-08 Thread Todd Goodman
* Grant Edwards grant.b.edwa...@gmail.com [120507 23:34]:
 Can somebody recommend a tftp server that works?
 
 I've got atftp installed and have been using the client for some time
 (after fixing a number of bugs).
 
 But, the atftpd server just plain refuses to do anything other than
 print out the help text and exit.  It doesn't matter what options you
 specify or what root directory you give, it just prints the help text
 and exits.  No error messages, just the help text and you're done.
 
 After having worked with the atftp client code, I have no desire to
 wade into the server code to try to fix it as well.
 
 But, when I try to install one of the other tftp servers, emerge
 refuses.  How to I tell emerge to go ahead and install, for example,
 netkit-tftp even though atftp is already installed?


I use tftp-hpa and it works well for me.

 That confuses me.  Are you saying the gentoo-sources don't 'just work'?

I don't know, haven't used gentoo sources in ages. I don't need fb 
beautification, zcache, alps or livecd goodies. I like to be as close to 
upstream as possible, so bug reports are taken seriously.

vanilla-sources work reliably with that annoying io-stuff. But no matter which 
kernel I tried, ck, zen, gentoo, love etc pp that annoying io-stuff was always 
there.. so no reason at all to use a patched up kernel.

Well, openssh-5.9_p1-r4 
flag: hpn on by default and ssh is working without a problem.


If I were you I would open a bug.

Funny how hpn is supposed to enable high performance. :-D

Re: [gentoo-user] I want to play movies without hangs

2012-05-08 Thread Simon
 Also, there was a thread a good while back with this issue and their fix
 was to do a emerge -e world with everything optimized for their CPU and
 such.  May be worth thinking about at least.

Video playback and CPU optimisations go hand in hand.

One video I have had for a long time, I could never play it at all on
any of my computers and I could not beleive what I saw next...
I got a new PC and thought to give it a try.  It worked painfully,
skipping and using 100% of one of my CPU cores.  I was sad and thought
this video might have been corrupt. After a wave of cleanup, I had
removed all CPU optimisation flags from my make.conf (I was originally
negating many, like -sse, etc, so I left it to my profile to choose
what was needed) and recompiled everything.  After that, the same
movie played in the best quality I had ever seen and CPU usage was
below 5%   I was even able to open 12 movies (4x3) all playing at
the same time (this was unthinkable before I optimized my system).
Anyway, keep in mind that my particular starting scenario was that I
had un-optimized it long ago!

Good luck!

But it stalls and blocks so much more quickly with it on :)

It's only a problem with hpn and openssh-6.0_p1, as discussed in the bug
report.

 If I were you I would open a bug.

Another one?
