 Note that the preup is added in an attempt to overcome similar problems to

 first time - but mine is still flakey.

After adding the preup() function, it works now!

 Does this happen in every directory, or do you have a file named

[gentoo-user] gcc not downward compatible?

2008-08-11 Thread Peter Wood

Hi list,
A few days ago I upgraded gcc from 4.1.2 to 4.3.1-r1 (upgrading 
Eclipse-sdk to the latest ~x86 version made installing gcc 4.3.1-r1 
necessary, so I thought I would stick with it on my test box).
Now I am re-emerging world and have noticed that a number of packages 
which compiled fine  with the old gcc don't compile with the new version 
anymore and have to be unmasked in /etc/portage/package.keywords. QT4 is 
one of them, just to give an example.
I don't really mind using the ~x86 version of these packages, but wonder 
why the old, stable packages won't compile with a newer gcc. Isn't gcc 
supposed to be downward compatible?

You can put gcc 4.1 in a slot on your system and choose to compile

Linux From Scratch allows you to build from the kernel up.
I'm sure there are efforts (both dead and struggling) to
do something similar to that you have articulated here, 
in this discussion.

Volker's comments are worth reading again.

 I wonder in particular if:
 - there are Linux systems using the BSD userlands
 - there are Linux systems using completely non-standard userlands... 
 let's say, non-Unix tools on top of a Linux kernel.

Why insist on a Linux kernel?  BSD has many derivatives. One of the
largest RTOS vendors builds extensively on the native work of BSD.
Now they also have an 'embedded linux' that you can purchase
That have many device drivers (on both the embedded linux and BSD
sides of their offerings) and they charge a fortune to use
any of their products.


 Only thing I can think about is (maybe) embedded systems or things using 
 busybox, but in the latter case just imitating gnu or bsd userlands.

If you build a system and use a compiler and do not include the 
compiler as part of the finished system then you may find avenues
to escape the encumberances of GNU. Lots of different opinions
on this approach. Certainly folks use the GNU tool chain or part
thereof to build proprietary embedded systems (no linux or BSD kernel)
routinely without GNU controlling their destiny.


Alternatively, Here's a link to wet your appetite:

 Not that I have a real purpose for such a bizarre beast,

What you seek is a very arduous task, as Volker has delineated.

My recommendation is you look at OpenBSD and get to know
the (cult) following of 'The Rat'. Funny thing is he has
actually received funding from several governments and other
dark ops.

Lots of fun that maniacal  genius is.

The easiest thing to do would be to migrate system, P2V, as is.  I dont'

Thanks everyone. I was actually hoping for a read the google, newb

howto's to my workstation and I work on it on my dead time.

On Sun, Aug 10, 2008 at 3:09 PM, Jil Larner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Hello,

 I recently set up samba to allow authentification against Active Directory
 for file sharing on a CentOS 4.5. Even if their installer is supposed to do
 it correctly, it didn't work the way I wanted, so I had to understand how to
 set it up manually.

 The main problem I found with documentations is that there's no one-shot
 documentation that allows you to join a domain if you meet so many obscure
 error messages like I had.

 I have more knowledge on Gentoo than centOs (so redhat), but what I say
 here has only been tested on centOS.

 Unfortunately for you, I'm on hollydays and won't go back to office until
 second part of October, so I can only tell you what I remember :

 You need :
 - a Kerberos client
 - a ntp daemon to set your clock according to your domain controller (more
 than 5 minutes offset will lead kerberos not to deliver tickets)
 - samba with winbind support
 - manually record your machine in the DNS used by AD

 Set up samba with ads security (refer to the official samba howto)
 Be sure your smb.conf has winbind configuration directives

 Files I remember I updated (CentOS architecture) :
 - /etc/samba/smb.conf
 - /etc/sysconfig/network (for the hostname of your machine to be the FQDN
 e.g. tux.mywindows.domain.corp and `hostname --fqdn` must immediately
 answer) = /etc/conf.d/hostname on gentoo
 - /etc/nsswitch.conf to add winbind for a few things (passwd,group,shadow
 if I remember, with less priority than file; otherwise it will be long to
 log in as a local user)
 - /etc/krb5.conf /etc/krb.conf[backward compatibility, may not be needed on
 gentoo; try without that's one file less to manage] (documentations give the
 few lines required)

 You'll also have to modify PAM config files for local access matching
 against AD, but I didn't tried it.

 Before you frag your brain out with samba and winbind, you must succeed a
 `kinit mywindowsuser` and see your ticket with `klist`. And be sure you can
 resolve local names with a nslookup. Some recommend you set the name and ip
 of your Domain Controller (DC) in /etc/hosts to avoid DNS failure.

 To join a domain, use the net join ads command, as explained in the docs :
 it must work. If it don't, don't look forward: solve this problem as it
 means you cannot access your DC.

 There's no need to configure LDAP if you use an AD architecture. And unless
 your DC is configured otherwise, it should offer you all required services
 (kerberos, ntp, dns).

 Don't hesitate to set up the log level of samba to 4 or the example value
 of the man page to get what's wrong.

 Don't look for complex configuration : a few simple lines does the job for
 matching AD. If you can identify against AD for file shares, then you just (
 :D ) have to set up pam for the main login. I'd say there are 3 or 4 winbind
 directives (uid/gid range, auto append defautl domain, etc) in and 5
 important samba directives smb.conf.

 I hope this fragment can help you a little bit,
 Jil.

[gentoo-user] confusing blocker in gnome update

2008-08-11 Thread Allan Gottlieb
I was away for two weeks and am not trying to do an --update world.

Gnome 2.22 has gone stable so there are a number of pkgs to emerge and
a few blockers.  (full output is below)

I can't understand the first blocker msg

[blocks B ] media-video/totem-2.21 (is blocking 
dev-libs/totem-pl-parser-2.22.3)

It seems clear enough and the ebuild for the parser does have

DEPEND=${RDEPEND}
!media-video/totem-2.21
=dev-util/intltool-0.35
doc? ( dev-util/gtk-doc )

But I don't have totem-2.21 installed

I understand. I wondered if *conceptually new* shells were 
present.That's why I thought about the Powershell, as an example.


A new kernel is not so hard to do. The problem are the drivers - and all the 
quirks. It is one thing to write a little task scheduler for your little pet 
project, but if it crashs constantly it becomes a bitch to fight through all 
the errata. But at the beginning a simple kernel is much easier to do than 
stuff that runs on it (simple is the important work. A non-simple kernel is 
very hard).


Well, I've never done kernel programming, but I have always been under 
the impression it is among the hardest programming stuff you can do, 
even if only for the hardware knowledge and debugging troubles it gives...


Another thing are libcs. A libc is a bitch. Luckily there is a whole bunch to 
choose from. glibc, bsd's libc, uclibc, dietlibc, ... so why re-invent the 
wheel? 


For libc, yes, I agree.

Or look at  X. X is horrible. A convoluted mess of grown cruft and standards 
to hold the pile together. But where is the replacement? Fiasco/Berlin? 
failed. Y-window? failed. Because X works good enough. And if you aren't 
writing toolkits or apps using xlib directly, you don't need to care about 
most of the stuff. 


So hobbyist concentrate on the easy stuff - and a userland is not easy.

Userland is not boring - it is very hard. And the best userland doesn't help 
you if no 3rd party software runs on it.


But projects like Haiku and ReactOS created also most of userland from 
scratch,  not only the kernels. They had the advantage of taking 
inspiration from existing OSes but they actually did the implementation. 
Also, SkyOS or Syllable did it, AFAIK.


So I can rephrase my question as those two:
Why didn't those projects use the Linux kernel?
Are there similar projects using the Linux kernel?

Google earth upgraded over the weekend to version 4.2.205.5730. It installed 
fine but it runs like shit. The rendering is so slow as to be completely 
unusable. The previous version worked fine so I tried to go back to it but 
it's gone, at least according to eix.
Anybody else having the same problem? Nobody's mentioned it on this list or on 
the forums sofar.
Where do I start to find a solution?

 inspiration from existing OSes but they actually did the implementation.
 Also, SkyOS or Syllable did it, AFAIK.

and how many apps run on skyos or syllabe?


 So I can rephrase my question as those two:
 Why didn't those projects use the Linux kernel?

because they wanted to do something different.

it's gone, at least according to eix.
Anybody else having the same problem? Nobody's mentioned it on this list or on 
the forums sofar.

Where do I start to find a solution?

Well, I'm not going to lock myself into a agreement but you can try 
starting here:  http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html  I would 
start close to the bottom where it says this:  Download the previous 
version.  That may help.  It may go back a little farther or you may 
want to try moving to a even newer version where your issue may be fixed.


Hope that helps.  Just wish I could get off this stinking dial-up so I 
can play with it too.  :-(

Re: [gentoo-user] [extremly, wildly, obscenely OT] Is there a Linux system without GNU userlands?

But projects like Haiku and ReactOS created also most of userland from
scratch,  not only the kernels.


reactos tries to copy windows - so it will be using the windows userland. 
haiku tries to be beos - it is will be able to run beos apps. Also some posix-

apps run on it.


In the meaning of windows and beos applications, yes.
However it is not like ReactOS uses the windows graphic shell. It has 
its own windows-like graphic shell.


When I talk about userland, here, I mean more the core stuff, like 
coreutils, graphics and the like.

Few, indeed, but that's irrelevant in this context. They exist.

Yes, very probably. However it's a kind of decision I don't really 
understand... using a Linux or BSD as the underlying kernel would give 
you immediately tons of drivers and stuff, even if you want to rewrite 
most of other utilities from scratch.

Probably I don't get it because I'm not an OS programmer geek. :)

 Gnome 2.22 has gone stable so there are a number of pkgs to emerge and
 a few blockers.  (full output is below)

 I can't understand the first blocker msg

 [blocks B ] media-video/totem-2.21 (is blocking 
 dev-libs/totem-pl-parser-2.22.3)

 It seems clear enough and the ebuild for the parser does have

 DEPEND=${RDEPEND}
  !media-video/totem-2.21
  =dev-util/intltool-0.35
  doc? ( dev-util/gtk-doc )
 Portage is telling you that you have a version less than what it is
 looking for and cannot install dev-libs/totem-pl-parser-2.22.3 with
 that version of totem. Uninstall totem and that should clear that
 blocker. You installed gnome from the meta-package so the latest
 stable version of totem will be pulled in as a new install.

OK and thanks.  I am embarrassed to say that I missread
!media-video/totem-2.21 as !media-video/totem-2.21.
