Re: [gentoo-user] Naming servers on a network with one IP
Thats seems a good configuration, but what about /etc/hostname? thats what im not sure of, how to set what the box sees as its own hostname, without setting it to the domain (because thats the router/network), but still with Postfix and apache running. I guess I can use the config files for them as Neil, suggested. The behavior I was seeing is that I did not set the hostname in apache's config, but set it to hostname myhostname.

But, i don't intend to run all the server daemons on one box for long. i want to be able to address the different boxes by unique names from within the network sounds simple enough. so just give them each their own name within your network (a, b, c); and put it in /etc/hosts of each machine. Then put in /etc/hosts (or leave it up to the DNS) your external host name (x.com) which points to the router. eg /etc/hosts: 192.168.1.1 a 192.168.1.2 b 192.168.1.3 c 216.239.32.10 x.com your router forwards to each machine from the outside based on port. Each box thinks it is only called a, or b, or c, (or a.x.com if you like) but then configure the service on the box to think it is your outside name (x.com). eg in your apache.conf on machine a, you can say the hostname is x.com, in your postfix conf on machine b, you say the hostname is x.com. Internally, any machine can connect to a service on the virtual x.com, which goes to your router and back in to the correct machine (so long as your router is smart enough to do this without sending the traffic to your isp and back). Or, internally, you can connect to the correct machine, by just using a, b, or c, because you set it up and you know which is which. externally, all anyone knows about is x.com, which is listening on multiple ports. I did a similar thing at home with various services (I used to have 3 machines but I scaled back to 1!)

Re: [gentoo-user] Getting a core dump with apache2/mod_perl
I'm trying to track down my apache2 segfaults and the mod_perl guys are telling me I need to get my system to dump a core file for analysis. How can I do that? Should I re-emerge apache2 and apr with +debug? Unfortunately just having USE=debug isn't all that you need. I use a bash alias like so: alias debug=USE=debug FEATURES=nostrip CFLAGS=-ggdb3 CXXFLAGS=-ggdb3 then you can just run 'debug emerge blah'. You'll probably want to rebuilt apache2,apr,apr-util,mod_perl and possibly more depending on what exactly you're looking for. Finally, to get it to dump core, you'll probably have to add 'ulimit -c unlimited' to your apache2 init script. Hi Aaron, I did all of this but a couple of segfaults don't seem to have generated any core files. Do you know where they should be located and what they should be called?

Just glancing through the file I spot very few things that wouldn't be installed whether they were in in the world file or not, but I do have 28 gnome entries and certainly some of them are not end user Gnomish things, like gnome-base/librsvg. That's exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about. you certainly didn't emerge that because you wanted it, so the only way it could have got in there was by a piece by piece emerge. I have a problem with Portage and Gnome specifically. If I want to emerge Gnome portage wants to emerge in Evolution. I don't use Evolution but I didn't know how to get what I wanted (Gentoo is about choice even if Gnome is not...) so I emerged the pieces and got what I wanted. (And a longer world file...) How should I have gone about getting Gnome without Evolution? Gnome is a meta-package, like kde. It contains nothing but a long list of dependencies, for all of GNOME/KDE. If you only want specific parts, either merge them individually, the applications, not the libraries, or try gnome-light. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If I can trust the results then it reduced my world file from 235 lines to 109 lines. (slow program...) However I no longer see any of Gnome, KDE or fluxbox so I'm not sure it's right quite yet. No idea what else is missing or exactly what to put back in. You should see the KDE and GNOMe meta-packages, but not the individual pacakges, but, as I said, it is totally tested. To do the depclean -p step I'd need to take the output of this and place it at the world file location I presume? The output of depclean -p is too verbose for that, and would put *everything* back in world anyway. Look at the output and copy ther packages you know you need back in. the rest will be no longer needed dependencies that can be removed. As always, it's best to run emerge world -uavD and revdep-rebuild -p after a depclean, just to be safe. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Doubt about qt and kde flags
A. R. schreef: On 5/13/05, Allan Spagnol Comar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I am having a little doubt about qt and kde user flags, I am using Gnome in my system but I like some kde programs, so I have gtk and gnome flag, should I use kde and qt flags to or should I put the -kde and -qt ? -- Hi, It is my understanding that even if you disable those flags (-kde -qt) and you try to emerge a package that depends on kde and qt libraries, those will be compiled as well. As an example, I am running xfce4 (gtk2) and my use flags have -kde -qt, if I try to emerge k3b, it shows that it wants to emerge: (just a snippet) x11-libs/qt kde-base/kde-env kde-base/kde-libs The flags only affect what a given package is *able* to support. In this example, if I want to be able to use k3b, some kde and qt libraries need to be compiled so it can run, and that is completely different than the software supported by k3b that can be customized through altering the use flags. HTH, -AR This is true, but not exactly clear. Continuing with the K3b example (because it's a good one for this purpose), I have often compiled K3b without the -kde and -arts USE flags, because by preference I use GNOME or Openbox or IceWM, not KDE. Because K3b relies on kdelibs and qt before it can be compiled at all, those will be compiled when I emerge K3b, no matter what my USE flags say. They are required dependencies. However K3bsetup2 is an optional dependency. It is required if you want to integrate K3b into KDE (+kde), and sound output (the rasberry sound when a burn fails, the fanfare when it succeeds, etc) is an optional dependency that will be compiled with the +arts flag, also for integration with KDE. So if I am running K3b under GNOME, and thus have emerged it -kde and -arts, I won't have K3bsetup2 or the sound business, but then again, I'm running it under GNOME, so I don't actually care that much (I can do the setup manually if I must, and it's not worth it to have aRTs just to hear a fanfare when my burn succeeds). That's what an optional dependency is. If I don't have KDE installed, though, and try to emerge K3b +kde and +arts, K3b will not only emerge the required kdelibs, but also kdebase, because k3bsetup2 (the optional dependency added by +kde) requires that as well. So basically I'll get KDE, because I requested that K3b be integrated with KDE-- and that obviously requires that a viable KDE installation be present, so it will be created if it does not exist beforehand. So if you want your programs to have all possible integration into the KDE environment (perhaps you want to give it a spin, even I think that 3.4.0 is pretty nice), then use +kde and +arts. +qt you probably want if you want to use QT based programs (some of which are not related to KDE, for instance DVD:Rip, iirc, and probably Quanta). But if you know that you just want some KDE based programs, but not KDE itself, you can try using -kde and -arts (it should always be -both, because aRTs pulls in KDE if present). However, you should be aware that there are not all that many KDE-based programs that don't require KDE to be present to run, but only the libs. That may have changed with the split ebuilds, but up to now the only ones I know of are K3b and Krusader (mostly because they're the only ones I use when not using KDE). It's not like you can so much install Konqueror without KDE, for example. But again, that may have changed. Hope this helps. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You cannot execute this install without having a basic understanding of what these commands are doing and what you want the configuration of the machine should be. The answer to your specific question is that you will run fdisk, you will create the partitions you want at the size you want with the file system type you want. There is no set size. there is no script to make it happen. It comes out exactly as you create it. You want FAT? You make FAT. (At your own risk!) You want ext2 or reiserfs-4 or whatever, you make it. you place it on the disk where you want it, you format it, everything is done by hand. You are in control. This is good, but it takes some thinking and some planning.
