[gentoo-user] XML parsing error when downloading files with Firefox
I think this may have started happening since a recent Firefox upgrade. If I try to download (say) vtun from vtun.sourceforge.net, it points me at the mirror list and I pick one, say Heanet. I get the what should firefox do with this file dialog and select Save To Disk and when I hit OK I then get: XML Parsing Error: not well formed Location: chrome://global/content/filepicker.xul Line Number 1, Column 22: all, dialog=no, url, null, null, line); ^ ie the uparrow is pointing at the second comma. Is there an easy way of fixing this bar removing and reinstalling Firefox? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is there an easy way of fixing this bar removing and reinstalling Firefox? Two things I notice: 1) if you're specifically talking about vtun, it's in Portage, so you don't even necessarily have to download it separately. 2) I just tried downloading both the stable source tarball and the development tarball from vtun.sourceforge.net using Firefox 1.03 and did not have any problems. So this is probably one of the ever-popular make sure to create a new profile when upgrading issues. That would be the first thing I would try. You can copy your bookmarks.html and signons.txt (if you have one) from your old profile easily enough; I usually also copy key3.db as well (I'm not sure if it's related to the Password Manager, but better safe than sorry. IIrc, if you don't want to create a new profile, you can delete compreg.dat (please check the archives to confirm this filename!!!) in your current profile to clean it of conflicting settings in the backend (if this is the correct file, it will be recreated 'properly' by the upgraded firefox version if not found; everything else will remain the same, such as your installed extensions and the like).

[gentoo-user] New apache2 layout and mod_perl (M~)
Hello, I've been plagued by intermittent apache2 seg faults during high traffic for quite some time. From what I've read it sounds like a mod_perl problem. I can't update mod_perl 1.99.11 (M~) without using apache2 ~x86 and its new layout. Comment #13 from bug #77551 sounds promising: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77551 I haven't tried the patch here yet, but mod_perl-1.99.17-r1 has been working fine for me so far with apache-2.0.53 (after moving files to the appropriate places), so I'm not sure why it's masked.

[gentoo-user] XML Editor
I have a few bespoke XML schema specs, and I want to find a generic tool to construct XML files which are syntactically valid with respect to the schema specs. The schemas represent data-structures for domain specific records with moderately complex structure. It would not make sense to use a WYSIWYG editor as the XML tags don't correspond to textual mark-up... I don't want to use a text-editor as it would be time-consuming to manually type the tag and attribute names... as well as being more error prone and less productive to batch validate.

You should make a backup of /etc/apache2 and delete it prior to updating, otherwise the new config layout will give you a hard time finding out, which file belongs to the new installation and which does not. Then you need to redo your complete configuration. That'll be the hardest taks of all. Most complicated part is to merge your settings from apache.conf and commonapache.conf into httpd.conf, you should not simply concat both and replace httpd.conf with it. As for modules (like SSL) there has not much changed, AFAIK it's just the installationpath of the .so-file. I recommend using diff on the modules' config-files, just to be sure.

It sounds like we've set up similar networks.

I don't think I can have two DHCP servers on the network and expect things to work correctly. The Gentoo diskless HOWTO would tell me to make the Myth-backend machine the DHCP server. However it's not on all the time so my other machines wouldn't have addresses when they need to. Can I make the Wireless router be the DHCP server (it will give the diskless frontend machine addresses if they ask) and then still expect the diskless frontends to get their kernels from the Myth-backend machine? I don't understand the Etherboot/PXE boot process. Does the DHCP server HAVE to be the machine the diskless ones get their kernels from?

Re: [gentoo-user] Diskless workstations questions for MythTV
I was merely commenting about using one DHCP server - I dont have a specific answer about having more than one DHCP server. Presumably, if they are on separate LANs (or separate subnets), having two DHCP wouldn;t be a problem. On Wed, 11 May 2005, Mark Knecht wrote: Thanks for the response. I don't quite follow though. Help me a bit. It sounds like we've set up similar networks. Please excuse the text description but my ASCII art is worse: The first line is hard wired: Cable_Modem == Wireless router/switch == 3 machines + diskless frontends The next set is also hard wired: Wireless bridge == local switch == Myth-backend diskless frontend Are these two networks interconnected? if so, where? The switch? In my case I want the Myth backend server to be the network server that all the diskless frontends get their kernels from, but the wireless router/switch has the existing DHCP server. I don't think I can have two DHCP servers on the network and expect things to work correctly. If your Myth-frontends are on a separate subnet using the backend as a DHCP server this should work. Putting the frontends behind the backend on a separate NIC interface could work. You could then make the DHCP server on the backend server listen only on that NIC and supply the front-ends with IPs. I would probably make sure the DHCP blocks given out by the two DHCP servers do not collide (most routers allow you to specify how big the IP block that DHCP uses is). The Gentoo diskless HOWTO would tell me to make the Myth-backend machine the DHCP server. However it's not on all the time so my other machines wouldn't have addresses when they need to. Aah, that would be a problem yes. I assumed the backend would be on all the time (it is a *server* after all?). Can I make the Wireless router be the DHCP server (it will give the diskless frontend machine addresses if they ask) and then still expect the diskless frontends to get their kernels from the Myth-backend machine? Another less complicated option would be to assign static IPs to the frontends that the backend knows about and work without DHCP. I don't understand the Etherboot/PXE boot process. Does the DHCP server HAVE to be the machine the diskless ones get their kernels from? Im assuming this is so the backend server knows its clients' IPs. I dont know if there is a way around that - Im not an expert on MythTV. -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Basically it means that version 0.18 is not yet stable on gentoo - in other words the gentoo developer has not marked it as such, there is usually a period of 'settling down before a new ebuild gets marked stable. to see all the versions available in portage try emerge eix update-eix eix mythtv (Ok there are other ways too, but eix is a great indexing tool for portage and you should have it anyway!) -- Nick Rout -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi, I'm still trying to figure out why my install doesn't execute for normal users. So OO only works for root. Upon the ooffice command a normal user gets a message regarding setup or something like that, then it aborts. I believe its not supposed to be started as ooffice, but as one of the constiuent interfaces: oowriter ooweb oocalc oomath ooimpress oosetup oopadmin oosetup try running one of those from an xterm and see what happens. -- Nick Rout -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Ebuild for RealPlayer-10.0.4 not working: Aborting before download
Just tried to install mplayer with the real USE-flag set, which results in additional installation of RealPlayer-10.0.4. However, the installation is not working, as there is an error before the download of RealPlayer: Here is what «emerge mplayer» does: emerge (1 of 2) media-video/realplayer-10.0.4 to / Downloading https://helixcommunity.org/download.php/1145/RealPlayer-10.0.4.750-20050401.i586.rpm The URL syntatically wrong! !!! Couldn't download RealPlayer-10.0.4.750-20050401.i586.rpm. Aborting. (sorry for the long lines!) The download url is correct, I can manually download the RealPlayer rpm. My questions: Where expects portage the downloaded RealPlayer to be? Can it just be moved there, or has something else to be done? What means The URL syntatically wrong!, and why spits portage something like this at me, even if the URL is working? Somebody else has this or is it just me? Does it need a bug report or not?

Re: [gentoo-user] next step X
cfk, Did you manually compile your kernel, or use genkernel? It seems that your eth0 is not properly configured. If you compiled your kernel manually, make sure you added your network card driver. If you used genkernel, are you starting coldplug/hotplug at boot? Another possibility is that you didn't configure your network correctly.

But if you can download the *.rpm, do so, and put it in /usr/portage/distfiles, and then run the emerge again. Portage will find it is already downloaded and will just continue with the emerge.

In general you'd do ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -pv mythtv to get something newer. However I do not recommend you do this unless it is emerging just a single package. By using ~x86 this way it will also give you the testing versions of everything else it needs to update or install for the first time. You can also place a ~x86 in your /etc/portage/package.keywords file to relieve you of having to do htis every time you update the package. Thanks for your reply. You pointed me in the right direction and I did a little more reading.

Re: [gentoo-user] OpenOffice 2.0
In OOo you do what the call a net install first which installs everything. The each user runs another setup (in the OOo programs directory) which then sets the user up - you do this for each user. The OOo install guide has all this in it for various operating systems in more detail. On Wed, 11 May 2005, rob3 wrote: S. Schwartz wrote: Michael W.

But I get a warning during boot that it is deprecated, and instead I should be using ide-cd and give dev=/dev/hdX as device. So I tried putting in hdc=ide-cd and I got an error message saying it was invalid. I wonder what I am doing wrong? That is no longer necessary at all. Try the following two commands and let us know what output you get from them. cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus I find that both commands work on my system, but ATA returns results immediately, whilst ATAPI sits for a few seconds before outputting. You can ignore the dire warnings about running under kernel 2.5 (unless you're running a 2.5 kernel for some obscure reason).
