Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Google's public DNS service
I know that anyone can use any DNS server that's exposed to the internet, also for free, so what's the big deal about google? IMO a DNS server configured that way is poorly configured (unless you're actually trying to run a public service, as google is). Instead the use of BINDs allow-recursion statement (or equivalent) should limit recursion to only the ISPs customers. So, anyone can use the DNS to look up any hosted zones, but only the ISPs customers can lookup other zones. The network will need anti-spoofing controls as well. FWIW bigger ISPs will split their DNSes, with some dedicated to hosting zones and others dedicated to recursive lookups. Limiting recursion helps with amplifications attacks.
Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} Preparing a laptop for sale
dd is pretty thorough... afterall, it writes to every single block on the disk. And the resulting effect from doing that once is: Trivially easy to recover the data that was there just before you did the dd Why? Data on-disk is not a binary cell like ram. It is a magnetic pattern and the pattern from the previous write is still there IIF you know how to find it Agreed, using all zeros will just change the magnitude of the field, which will make it more difficult to read, but the underlying data will largely remain. You should use random data so with dd you could use if=/dev/random but that would be horribly slow so maybe if=/dev/urandom. But why bother when there's a tool like shred. I boot a Knoppix cd then use it on the raw device as i cant see any point in doing each partition separately.
Re: [gentoo-user] OT: Rebuilding an NTFS directory structure
The MP3 files probably have ID3 tags containing artist, album and title information, so it should be possible to use a script to rename them (Goggle will most likely turn up a few options). Looks like audiotag can do that, here's a snip of the help; --rename-filesrename files based on meta-data --rename-pattern pattern to use when renaming files. when no rename pattern is specified, the rename pattern defaults to: %T. %a - %t string replacement directives: %T: track number %a: artist name %t: song title %A: album name You can specify subdirectories in the rename pattern. %a - %A/%T. %t will rename and move the files. %a -%A/ moves the files to new subdirectories without renaming.

[gentoo-user] Are runlevels 3 4 5 the same?

You need to read this: man rc-update Gentoo comes with the following runlevels: r...@smoker ~ # ls /etc/runlevels/ total 5 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 152 Jun 11 2008 . drwxr-xr-x 81 root root 4832 Apr 18 00:16 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 368 Jun 11 2008 boot drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Apr 9 20:05 default drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 72 Jun 11 2008 nonetwork r...@smoker ~ # It generally boots to default. You can change that on the kernel boot line but with one of the above instead of a 4 as you posted. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2chap=4 So gentoo does use the numerical runlevels (because that's what init uses) as well as the gentoo runlevels you've shown. It looks like it just maps the numbers to the names in inittab; l0:0:wait:/sbin/rc shutdown l0s:0:wait:/sbin/halt -dhp l1:1:wait:/sbin/rc single l2:2:wait:/sbin/rc nonetwork l3:3:wait:/sbin/rc default l4:4:wait:/sbin/rc default l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc default l6:6:wait:/sbin/rc reboot l6r:6:wait:/sbin/reboot -dk so, i guess this means i should point l4 to a custom runlevel in /etc/runlevels that is the same as default with the exception that xdm is removed... I'm assuming the linux kernel wont understand the gentoo named runlevels, and therefore using those names in grub wouldnt work.

Re: [gentoo-user] WLAN speed either 800KB or 3MB
Check that you have disabled 802.11b on your router, or you may find that an adjacent client who's running 802.11b will drag your router down to 11Mb/s max (the actual throughput will be lower). Router is already fixed to g only. While you're experiencing the lower downloads you can run iwlist iface scan to see the speed at which your NIC is connecting at. If it is 802.11g it'll say so: Thanks, i can see my own router (Cell 01) and three others, looks like I should try channel 13. I can't see the speed shown in the output tho. wlan0 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: Channel:1 Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) Quality=69/70 Signal level=-41 dBm Cell 02 - Address: Channel:1 Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) Quality=32/70 Signal level=-78 dBm Cell 03 - Address: Channel:6 Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6) Quality=60/70 Signal level=-50 dBm Cell 04 - Address: Channel:6 Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6) Quality=48/70 Signal level=-62 dBm

Re: [gentoo-user] I've been hacked.
looks like, your ISP has a Transparent Proxy Setup running. Should I be worried about that? No. Ports being shown as open does not mean that your machine is listening, more like the firewall has some holes in it. If the Really? I thought a service had to be listening for the port to be open. So from nmap, there is no way to tell the difference between a port that isn't blocked by a firewall and one that is listening? You're right - a TCP service does need to be listening for the port to be shown as open. However, a device in the path like a proxy may answer on behalf of the actual destination. ISPs can do this so that you will use their proxy without having to configure a proxy in your browser. Firewalls can block ports in two ways; 1.Reject the packet, that is, respond to the SYN with an RST packet (which is also what the operating system does if the port is closed) and not forward the packet to the destination 2. Drop the packet, that is, dont respond to the packet or forward it on to the destination.

Re: [gentoo-user] Routing with gentoo...
My situation is vaguely similar... I've one high-speed link at home with only dynamic IP - and I've got rack-mounted server with multiple static IPs, one of which I want to use from home in order to run a mail-server, revision control service and various web-services... keeping all the data on hardware I physically control... access is always encrypted - so I retain my privacy, no matter what happens to my remotely hosted service (including packet-sniffing etc.) and the worst case scenario is denial of service - which is an acceptable risk. While I've established the tunnel, I'm tearing my hair out trying to configure routing so that only remote access to services on my home box (and not my home box's web-browsing etc.) are routed over the VPN. I'm sure it has to be more straightforward than it appears. :-S If i understand what you've written, you need a static route on your home box for the server pointing to the VPN, and on the server you need a static route to your home box pointing to the VPN. So no need for anything funky, like iptables/iproute2.

I thought I remembered someway to compile a single module after the fact that didn't involve recompiling everthing... but just now I entered the usr/src/linux directory and edited .config adding the sshfs FUSE module. when I ran `make' I see it grinding thru the whole thing again.

Johansson wrote: given that I frequently play the role of the heretic (complete with burn scars all over my body and various bits of damage from the weapons of true believers) I think it's a good thing that EVMS is slated for the trash heap. It's a classic example of second system syndrome as defined by the mythical Man month. It's overly complicated, poorly documented, and has a terrible user interface that only a geek would even consider using. Having said that, I also think LVMS suffers from many if not all of the same problems that plagued EVMS. it is been around for years and still the documentation on how to perform common operations is lacking. It's a chicken and egg problem. You need to understand LVMS in order to understand the documentation and then you can't explain it to anyone else. Every time I've used LVMS, it takes me the same number of hours to relearn the same old pieces of obscure command syntax and become comfortable that I'm not going to trash my disk. As a result, I don't use LVMS either. I've never used EVMS so I can't comment at all on it. However I have been using LVM for years and one of the few good things I can say about it is that its pretty small, easy, and predictable. In fact one of the negative things I'd have to say about it is that it's *too* simple (a LV defrag tool would be nice). I really don't understand the complexity you speak of. It's pretty well documented, and has a fairly high user-base. I do agree though that, based on this ML and IRC discussions, many times I'll see a person who wants to use LVM and perhaps maybe they don't need it, and they get frustrated because they're using the wrong tool for the job. Myself: I have a 8 2-disk RAID volumes with LVM on top. If I need to expand my VG, I just pop in a couple of new drives, to an lvextend on a volume and then mount -o remount,resize and voila! On another machine I have xen and I have 2 VGs: a set of disks for the Host and a set for the VMs. I have some VMs in a DMZ, and I can't reach them from the host, but I use LVM to create snapshots of their disks and make backup of them. LVM makes it damn easy. In some ways LVM is like a poor-man's SAN for Xen VMs. You can carve out a LV, assign it to a VM, and resize, hot-add or hot-remove them as you please. But again, the average person with a single disk running on a laptop computer probably has no use for LVM. Pretty much every major server OS has volume management (including Windows) because a lot of users at that level need it. Linu LVM, I think, is very similar to HP-UX LVM at the command level. AFAIK an who has written linux LVM worked for HP. Regards Adam. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The install cds are called x86, so I assume that means they're i386 and should be ok, otherwise; http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/altinstall.xml Do i need to install an older version of Gentoo in order for this to work? Gentoo doesn't really have versions... Do i need to flag the boot in some way with options in order to get this to install? I'm on PPTP cable with a vpn address from the provider. Will an older version of Gentoo be capable of handling this protocol? Since gentoo doesn't have versions, you will be able to run any software that you run on any other Gentoo box.
RE: [gentoo-user] Cursor keys stopped working in VMware workstation
I have been using VMware workstation V. 5.5.9 and a Logitech wireless keyboard for some time. Today I somehow mistyped a Ctrl-something sequence while in the VM window, meaning to enter it elsewhere instead of the VM. Now, the cursor keys between the main keys and the keypad have stopped working correctly. Most do nothing, but the down arrow key causes Windows to raise the Start menu, as if I had pressed the windows key near left-alt. The cursor movement keys on the keypad still work, with numlock off. I have tried restarting windows, restarting VMware workstation, restarting the X (KDE) session, and rebooting the computer. The only thing I haven't done is a complete power off/on. All cursor keys work fine in non-VMware applications, so I suspect VMware and/or Windows, but I've been wrong blaming MS or VM before, so.. Interesting - the same thing happened to me a couple of days ago. I tried a second Windows guest and it had the same problem, so it appears to affect all guest OSes. FWIW I'm running 2.6.28-r5, xorg 1.5.3 with latest stable vmware server (1.0.8?).
RE: [gentoo-user] automated install || stage4? rapid deployment?
I'm curious how other sysadmins rapidly deploy a slew of new Gentoo systems? In this case I'm setting up many dozens of Gentoo servers inside of VMware ESX and having to destroy and redeploy said systems regularly. The hardware (virtual, of course) varies ever so slightly, so cloning (via ESX or dd) is not an option. Different hardware shouldn't preclude this approach. Just make sure all the relevant modules are built and the OS should load what it needs.
RE: [gentoo-user] Capture dmesg output on boot?
I've been trying to get to the bottom of my recent troubles with my IDE controller working with the 2.6.28 kernel. Now, linux never boots without a kernel panic, so dmesg never gets logged... Is there any way to have the kernel dump the boot log somewhere? I'd settle for scrolling up, really. Have you tried shift+PgUp ? I have no idea if it will work in that circumtance... Remember that depending how you setup the kernel the IDE devices could be hdX or sdX.
RE: [gentoo-user] upgrading from kernel 2.6.24-rc6 to latest kernel
My Gentoo laptop is a Macbook Pro SantaRosa (late 2007, probably MA896LL/A , following wikipedia). Since I use it for work I've always been quite conservative with it... it is an x86 machine and I upgrade things only after having read things here and there on the ML and possibly elsewhere (Still have to upgrade xorg, for example, will do it soon). The oldest piece I haven't touched is the kernel. It is 2.6.24-rc6 vanilla-sources, which were the first mostly working with the laptop... and never touched since. Now I want to ask the list: 1) Does anyone have a recent kernel config for this kind of machine? Just copy your .config file to the new kernel source directory and run make oldconfig. This runs through the old config file and prompts you to select what you want for the new options. 2) What are the caveats and pitfalls I should be aware of when upgrading to latest kernel? I confess that reading CHANGELOGs didn't help me too much, quite confusing. You can keep both kernels and just use the bootloader to select which one to boot into. So if your new kernel doesn't work just reboot and use your old kernel again until you can work out whats wrong with the new one. The biggest risk is that there are two ATA options one names disks sdX the other hdX. If you're already using sdX in your /etc/fstab then you have no problems. If not, and you change options you'll need to change your bootloader and fstab, and if you have a problem you'll have to boot from cdrom to fix that. Also, I wonder if portage's madwifi now supports the Macbook Pro chipset... I had to use SVN one at the time. The drivers might be in the kernel now. I was using madwifi-ng and changed to the ath5k driver at around 2.6.26 or 27.

For you guys with older hardware/drivers, have you tried turning on CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS and recompiling the kernel to see if its helps? (Kernel hacking - Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols). I use it to support vmware server 1.x and ati flgrx drivers (with 2.6.26 or later kernels).

RE: [gentoo-user] nagging USE flag question
The time has come to edit make.conf on my new gentoo-netbook. But one thing has always bothered me: What's the point of specifying a *negative* flag with a hyphen? Why not just leave the flags you don't use out of the file entirely? Some flags are on by default, so this stops their use.

RESULTS: fglrx loads, but does not see the adapter. There's also a problem with the mouse driver -- some undefined symbol. Have you rebuilt your kernel after emergeing xf86-input-mouse? If so you probably need to re-emerge xf86-input-mouse.

RE: [gentoo-user] Re: x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 with x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2 -- file conflict
DRI requires kernel support - Device Drivers - Graphics - Direct Rendering Manager, and you'll want to select the correct ATI support under that. That's always been there, as modules. If I modprobe for r128, it gets loaded along with module drm. It makes no difference to the startx behavior. Do the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so and libdri.so files exist? For me, libdri.so is a symlink to /usr/lib64/opengl/ati/extensions/libdri.so libglx.so is a symlink to /usr/lib64/opengl/ati/extensions/libglx.so (since you havent run the eselect to repoint it yet, it will be set to /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libglx.so). Re: glx, what happens if you run 'eselect opengl list'? there are two listed, ati and xorg-x11. xorg-x11 is selected. If you're using flgrx you want 'eselect opengl set ati', but again I thought 2D would work fine without this.

actually care about moving binary packages around. Thoughts? thoughts: there are distros that hold your hand already. There's also Windows. For just in case Ubuntu doesn't hold enough of your hand. I'm with Wyatt on this one. Can we appreciate there may be a difference between convenience and hand holding? If we consider the case where the user is not interested in moving binary packages between machines, there is nothing to be gained from customsing these CPU feature flags as you always want all of them. Personally I wouldn't bother putting a feature request in for this, as I know which flags to use and as I only build about one gentoo box a year so the overhead is low.

RE: [gentoo-user] Re: dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r2 (is blocking app-admin/python-updater-0.5
The root of the problem is really quite simple, you have a system with a python version python-updater doesn't like. The solution is actually quite simple: step 1. update python to 2.5, rebuild cracklib (afaik cracklib is the only system package that requires python), portage, gentookit. step 2. at this point, you can unmerge the old python, some packages *will* break, but you will still have a console that works fine, and your portage is built against the 2.5. step 3. emerge python-updater, since no python-2.3 is present, it'll emerge happily. step 4. run python-updater step 5. voila A more conservative approach (which shouldn't break anything AFAIK, but will take longer) is; 1. Run python-updater to move everything from 2.3 to 2.4 2. Uninstall python 2.3 3. Do your full emerge -uvD to update to python-updater 0.5 and python 2.5 4. (optional, you could to it later) run python-updater to move everything from 2.4 to 2.5 5. (optional) run prelink again to catch everything that emerge world installed/updated

Perhaps after some double checks with re-runs of revdep-rebuild and python-updater. However I've left it installed, just in case the update program missed something, and because python is critical. Personally I'd only remove it now if I was really short on disk space. Maybe leave it a few months before removal just in case.

RE: [gentoo-user] move instalation from one system to another one.
My old laptop is dying. I'm going to move my gentoo
installation to a new
one. The old one was an old Pentium-M and the new one is
core due. I want to
to tar the root and boot and .. files from the old one to
untar it to the
new one. I want to know, What packages needs to rebuild
(with What flags?)
in the old one so that I would have a basic runable system
in the new that I
can rebuild all the packages on the new system with the new FLAGS?
Did anyone do this in the past? Have anyone any experiences
regarding this
issue? Any comments? suggestions?
This is my old laptop make.conf
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CFLAGS=-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
MAKEOPTS=-j2
Don't do it.
I think your kernel will only support the pentium-m and most of the
software also. So a emerge -e world would bee necessary.
Normal Gentoo Installations are highly optemized for the specific
hardware. That is the whole point about using gentoo.
Do you need to get the new laptop working asap? Eg. for work?
Is the new laptop 32 or 64 bit?
If you need the new laptop running asap, the sub-optimal but fast way is to
build all the modules you'll require for your new laptop on the old laptop then
copy the disk. Since they tend to only add CPU features and not take them away
as time goes on, its worth a try as it will be a lot faster. You can then worry
about changing CFLAGs and rebuilding if you like, or just change the CFLAGs and
let anything new get built with them. No big deal.
If your system is 64 bit and you want to later run 64 bit OS you'll have to
reinstall.
For CFLAGs http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags, and you'll need to change CHOST
if you're going 64 bit.

[gentoo-user] Linux vs Alteon
My gentoo laptop is receiving an appropriate arp-reply from an alteon 2208 (according to tcpdump), but doesnt put it in its arp table. A windows box on the same port works fine. Has anyone come across this? Can i debug arp on linux?
