[gentoo-user] Apache upgrade to 2.4 error AH00027: Buggy authn provider failed to set user
I've just upgraded to 2.4 and am using mod_access_compat, so I can use the existing auth config in the short term. I've fixed a few things and now the daemon loads cleanly, however, when i try to get the anonymously available front page, it returns a 500 and error.log shows; [Tue Apr 03 16:13:33.595505 2012] [core:error] [pid 20896:tid 139858125358848] [client u.x.y.z:16567] AH00027: Buggy authn provider failed to set user for / At a password protected directory (there's an .htaccess) it also returns 500 and the log is; [Tue Apr 03 16:15:50.244851 2012] [core:alert] [pid 20895:tid 139858125358848] [client u.x.y.z:20702] /blah/blah/.htaccess: Invalid command 'Require', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration Shouldn't Require from the .htaccess file be recognised by mod_access_compat?

Something that explains, the difference between kernel video drivers, framebuffer console, Xorg video drivers and 3rd party drivers. Just noticed this, and thought of you and this thread: https://www.osadl.org/Single-View.111+M5afc75f7e68.0.html Also, if you really want to be able to dig in and do interesting things without the aid of GNOME, KDE or XFCE, I highly recommend X Power Tools. The book predates KMS, but then so will anything resembling a thorough treatment. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596101954.do But a quick rundown regarding the difference between kernel video drivers, framebuffer, Xorg and 3rd-party drivers: There are two halves to the story. The kernel and userland. Both sides have their own halves of drivers for whatever functionality you need. Kernel: 1) Console drivers. These typically access the video adapter's built-in text display mode. They don't provide for graphics outside the glyphs built into the video cards. These are typically *incredibly* fast for text-mode usage, in comparison to framebuffer drivers. Enough that if you don't silence build output, you can measure differences in compile times of a large program that come from the compiler waiting to flush its stdout stream buffer. 2) Framebuffer drivers. These are simple drivers taking advantage of basic raster graphics capabilities in the video adapter. The kernel framebuffer drivers treat the display as a giant image, and draw text glyphs and other graphics onto them. 3) Direct Rendering Management (DRM) drivers. These have traditionally been how X has been allowed low-level access to 3D graphics accelerators. (I'm simplifying here a bit). The DRM subsystem has undergone at least two major revisions. It's also specific to Linux, and isn't available (AFAIK) on other systems which can run X. DRM in this context has nothing to do with 'Digital Rights Management'. 4) Kernel Mode Setting (KMS). Historically, once X launched, X used its own hardware drivers (unless you had it talk to a kernel framebuffer driver) to talk to video devices. Once X started, the kernel gave control over graphics hardware to X, and depended on X to hand it back if you wanted to switch to a virtual terminal for a plain console. That meant that if X crashed, your video setup was left pretty much in complete disarray, and you had to use a SysRq sequence to get it back. (I swear, I'll need to add that to my email signature before I'll remember it...) KMS is supposed to keep that responsibility with the kernel, with the kernel telling the video adapter which display modes to use. 3rd-party drivers from AMD and NVidia have generally hung out in the DRM area. I don't know if either AMD or NVidia have been adding support for KMS to their drivers. And that's just the

So, if I now use the kernels radeon driver, i could use kms, but cannot use xf86-video-ati or fglrx, if I use xf86-video-ati or fglrx, I cannot use kms? It would be great if someone could link me to some reading material on that subject. Something that explains, the difference between kernel video drivers, framebuffer console, Xorg video drivers and 3rd party drivers. Just noticed this, and thought of you and this thread: https://www.osadl.org/Single-View.111+M5afc75f7e68.0.html Also, if you really want to be able to dig in and do interesting things without the aid of GNOME, KDE or XFCE, I highly recommend X Power Tools. The book predates KMS, but then so will anything resembling a thorough treatment. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596101954.do But a quick rundown regarding the difference between kernel video drivers, framebuffer, Xorg and 3rd-party drivers: There are two halves to the story. The kernel and userland. Both sides have their own halves of drivers for whatever functionality you need. Kernel: 1) Console drivers. These typically access the video adapter's built-in text display mode. They don't provide for graphics outside the glyphs built into the video cards. These are typically *incredibly* fast for text-mode usage, in comparison to framebuffer drivers. Enough that if you don't silence build output, you can measure differences in compile times of a large program that come from the compiler waiting to flush its stdout stream buffer. 2) Framebuffer drivers. These are simple drivers taking advantage of basic raster graphics capabilities in the video adapter. The kernel framebuffer drivers treat the display as a giant image, and draw text glyphs and other graphics onto them. 3) Direct Rendering Management (DRM) drivers. These have traditionally been how X has been allowed low-level access to 3D graphics accelerators. (I'm simplifying here a bit). The DRM subsystem has undergone at least two major revisions. It's also specific to Linux, and isn't available (AFAIK) on other systems which can run X. DRM in this context has nothing to do with 'Digital Rights Management'. 4) Kernel Mode Setting (KMS). Historically, once X launched, X used its own hardware drivers (unless you had it talk to a kernel framebuffer driver) to talk to video devices. Once X started, the kernel gave control over graphics hardware to X, and depended on X to hand it back if you wanted to switch to a virtual terminal for a plain console. That meant that if X crashed, your video setup was left pretty much in complete disarray, and you had to use a SysRq sequence to get it back. (I swear, I'll need to add that to my email signature before I'll remember it...) KMS is supposed to keep that responsibility with the kernel, with the kernel telling the video adapter which display modes to use. 3rd-party drivers from AMD and NVidia have generally hung out in the DRM area.

[gentoo-user] MTS player
Hello, My new Sony camcorder produces MTS and CPI video output files. So far I have found that Dragon Player works OK replaying the files. I just notices that there is mplayer and mplayer2; not sure what the differences are between the two. mplayer2 failed to compile; so now it's off to debug that failure, as I'm assuming that mplayer2 is better than mplayer What I do is copy the files from the embedded flash memory onto my gentoo drives and them play them natively and store video for the long term. What gentoo software do other folks use to replay and organize your HD video files? Any discussion or recommendations is welcome. James

While I rebooting my machine, it shows [plymouth] could not create /run/plymouth and there is no splash. Then I created /run/plymouth directory in the initrd file system manually, but it seems that this doesn't change anything. And then I created /run/plymouth in my root file system, while this time system shows plymouthd could not start boot splash: No such file or directory. The /run directory should be created when installing dbus; it's a tmpfs: # mount | grep /run tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755) And then it's bind-mounted in /var/run. At least that's how it happens with systemd, and that's the expected behaviour. Did you created your initramfs with dracut? I checked my Ubuntu virtual machine, which plymouth works well, there is no /run/plymouth directory in initram file system or real root file system. My initramfs doesn't have a /run directory either: # mkdir kk # cd kk # zcat /boot/initrd-3.2.12 | cpio -i 21514 blocks # ls bin dev etc init lib lib64 proc root run sbin shutdown sys sysroot tmp usr var However, inside /var, there is a symbolic link to /run: # ls -l var total 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root9 Apr 3 12:15 lock - /run/lock drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 3 12:15 log lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root4 Apr 3 12:15 run - /run So the problem it's not the existance (or not) of the run directory, I believe; it's the fact that it's mounted really early in the boot process as a tmpfs. So, did you use dracut to generate your initramfs, or did you use genkernel? Or you did it by hand?

On another note, I have always transferred files form the sony camcorders to my linux systems, via cp or scp, without issues. Now, the new sony (HDR-PJ760V) is giving me troubles. I plugged the usb on the sony camcorder into my gentoo system. The usb was auto discovered. I am able to use Dragon player to watch the individual files, such as 1.MTS via Dragon player and the camcorder being mounted (96 G of flash). Ok so I was then initially able to use cp to copy the files off onto the gentoo hard drive. After I did a few this way, the mount point now drops almost immediately. I can re-discover the sony camcorder and automount via the file-manager. I can see the files and play them one at a time via Dragon Player.

I never had this problem before, but it is a different camera. What really has me stumped is it worked for a while for a few files, now it drops the mount every time.

Dale, could yo please add again rd.debug to your kernel command line, boot with the initramfs, and post the output from dmesg (without you manually mounting your LVM volume)?

Possibly related? https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52950 Yep saw that, but i didnt help.
