Re: [gentoo-user] boot problem since devfs-udev switch

2005-07-28 Thread Zarick Lau
Hi,

 
 I switched from devfs to udev 10 days ago, and since then every 
 nth boot will hang at 'initializing random number generator'
 

It try to read a /dev/urandom, does this device node created properly by 
udev. In my box, there is corresponding rules in udev setting.

Cheers,

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] confusing RE doesn't work in diff

   Ignore changes whose lines all match RE.
 
 I read man grep and it seems there are two sets of RE, extended and basic. 
 But it's not mensioned in diff(1) wheather or not diff(1) takes extended 
 or basic RE. I am using Debian so it should be gnu diff.
 
 If it's not mentioned, it possibly uses basic regular expressions.
 
 try:

 Christoph

Indeed strange. BUT the clue lies in (after many strange results) in
'man grep' where, on my host, it says exactly:

-I regexp
   Ignore changes that just insert or delete lines that match regexp.

Notice the word: 'changes'.
It seems that it means: ignore if WHOLE GROUP of DELETED OR INSERTED
lines matches (every added or deleted line) the provided regexp.

In your case the first line of header.inc.php is included in change-group
but does not matches RE.

Try (to be very simple):
$ diff -I '^.*/.*$' header empty
1,2d0
 ?php
 /* $Id: header.inc.php.template,v 1.58 2005/07/08 05:00:14 milosch 
Exp $ */

$ echo '?php'  empty
$ diff -I '^.*/.*$' header empty
(nothing)
$ :empty
$ diff -I '^.*php.*$' header empty
(nothing - because BOTH lines, considered CHANGED OR DELETED have the
word 'php' inside)

Now the difficult part: how to solve the real problem. :-)

* You may compare grepped files (with grepped out /* $Id:$ */)
* You may try to filter diff output... but I don't like this (by
  intuition - I may be wrong)
* experiment with various options of diff. If only output (not retcode)
  matters then good candidate maybe may be --changed-group-format, which is
  weel described in 'info diff'
* or something other...

 cd old
 tar cvf - * | tar xf -C ../new/

Try waiting an hour and syncing again. It could be that the ebuild

Alternatively, if you are running stable, you may need to unmask this

Just a reminder here, all the answers are already in this thread ;)

In the newer kernels (= 2.6.10 ??) there is a search functionality

when all is configured, save the configuration and type:

#mount /boot ; make  make modules_install  make install

or use your preferred kernelmaker program.


 
 emerge iptables to get the user space tools to control the kernel

[gentoo-user] locale nightmare

2005-07-28 Thread Jorge Almeida

After much labor, I managed to clean my system (i.e., revdep-rebuild -p
is happy). However, I started having locale problems (which I hadn't
formerly). It shows up with perl and vim.
I want the system to recognize Portuguese accented characters but
otherwise to use English as general language (meaning the language used
in error messages in bash, etc).
I didn't have the file /etc/env.d/02locale (can't imagine why).
$ cat /etc/env.d/02locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TYPE=pt_PT.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I followed (more or less)
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_an_UTF-8_enabled_system
(It says
LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF-8
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
but isn't this wrong? man locale says LC_ALL overrides LC_*, if I
understood correctly.)
Well, perl is not happy:
$ perl -e 
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_MONETARY = [EMAIL PROTECTED],
LC_TYPE = pt_PT.UTF-8,
LANG = en_US.ISO-8859-1
are supported and installed
on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back
to the standard locale (C)

Writing in vim gives all sorts of silly output.
What to do? Something to emerge? Some kernel config problem?
Why didn't /etc/env.d/02locale exist?
I compiled glibc without the userlocales USE variable, so all locales
should exist...

[gentoo-user] Thunderbird and IMAP

2005-07-28 Thread Abraham Marín Pérez

Hi everyone,

   I recently migrated from Evolution to Mozilla Thunderbird and I must
say that I has been a really good move ;-). However, I have a couple of
problems to fix before finishing the migration; firstly, I can browse
the main folder in an IMAP server, but I can't browse subfolders,
although I could with Evolution (and still can). On the other hand, I've
got loads of contacts in Evolution that I'd like to transfer to
Thunderbird without copying all them by hand.

Any help with either of these two problems?

Thanks,
Abraham

[gentoo-user] portage has blocking packages that are not installed

2005-07-28 Thread Alexander Meyer
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

hi list,

this probably isn't new but i didnt find any reference to it on the web
and in the mailing list archives, so i'd like to apologize in advance to
repost a possibly long answered question.

when i try to emerge system --deep --newuse -upv portage tells me this:

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

snip
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0-r3 (is blocking
media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1)
[ebuild U ] sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3 [1.2.2] -build 415 kB
[...]
snap

but when i then try to unmerge firefox (emerge unmerge
mozilla-firefox) this is what i get:

snip
 These are the packages that I would unmerge:

 www-client/mozilla-firefox
selected: 1.0_pre-r2
   protected: none
 omitted: none

 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.
snap

how can a package that is obviously not installed be blocking anything?
and even more important: how do i resolve this issue? just unmerge the
version of firefox that is installed? i'm not absolutely sure, but AFAIK
this has happened before and just unmerging the installed version of the
blocking program did not resolve the block on the not installed version.

any help is appreciated!

best regards,

alexander

I think it's trying to with the little '' character before the name of

My guess, for what it's worth, is that the gkrellm-sensors is the gtk1
version (requiring gnome 1 support) rather than the gtk2 version
(requiring gnome 2 support). In fact, I don't think the package
'gkrellm-sensors' is even used for gkrellm2, but is integrated into the
main package (I'm running gkrellm2, but I don't use sensors. However, I
see that the first lising in the Configuration =Monitors=Inbuilt

Hi Rumen;

I did not know I would have multiple versions on freetype on my system,
thanks for pointing that out.
I did:
emerge -v =media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4
and this seemed to work just fine, but the Firefox emerge still fails
with the same error message.
How do I find out which versions of a slotted program are installed? 
Maybe it needs a version different from either of these??  Obviously I'm
grasping at thin air here, but I don't know what else to think at the

Thanks for you assistance, I'm most appreciative.

[gentoo-user] Hold on portage feature requests

2005-07-28 Thread Jason Stubbs
Hello all,

The subject says it all: no more feature requests for portage (the package
manager) until further notice. This does not include submitting of patches
that add new features. Further notice will likely mean when the next major
version of portage becomes stable.

The reason behind this is that at approximately two thirds of bugs received
are feature requests and they are drowning at the real bugs. More importantly,
the critical bugs are becoming very hard to keep track of. This, at a time
when we are focusing on fixing major and critical bugs only so as to get the
next version completed quicker.

Most of the current feature requests will be available at the time when the
next version goes stable (and that which isn't should be relatively painless
to implement) so don't worry that things will go stagnant.

However, if you are worried, I'll be posting a weekly summary of portage bug
activity to gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org from now on. If you'd like to join
the portage team or just feel like giving a quick hand, have a browse through
the bugs and see what fixes you can come up with.

 Dm-crypt is fairly well supported, since it is in the kernel, but I find

 passphrase thing, for example).

I know it is in the kernes, but I've read that there weren't good userland 
tool to work with dm-crypt. Maybe that has changed and Gentoo's userland 
tools can work with dm-crypt, what's the status of that ?
Regarding loop-AES I've read it needs some heavy patching here and there, I 
don't want to do any patching myself because I am likely to loose track of 
it.

 It provides rougly the equivalent security as loop-AES in single-key
 mode (where a single key is used to encrypt every block).  loop-AES also
 supports multi-key mode, where 64 different keys are used to encrypt the
 blocks.  Multi-key makes certain kinds of attacks (specifically,
 watermark) more difficult, but is slower.

 However, I seem to recall reading somewhere in the last couple of weeks
 that dm-crypt was also getting multi-key support...maybe in the
 mm-kernel, or for 2.6.13...
Single key is enough for me.

 I know I don't need a key, but I do want a key (stored in a remobable
  modia) encripted with a passphrase I will be able to change, or best, my
  wife can have the key protected with a different passphrase than I do.
 Beyond that, encripting with a key is much better than doing that with a
 passphrase because the passphrase can be cracked (dictionary attack) while
 the key-encripted that can't.

 Well, technically, anything can be cracked given enough time and
 computing power.
Yes, ok. I should have added a 'practically' there somewhere.

 For using different passwords, this is possible.  You would need to
 encrypt the same key file with gpg to two different .gpg filesyour
 wife can use one, and you can use the other.  If the key files are
 stored on separate pieces of removable media, then you each have your
 own keys to the system.
That's the idea, that scheme plus the best superted method out fo the box (or 
the net, hehehe). I believe it is cryptoloop, but I am not sure.

I've had good luck using distcc to speed up my p3 450's builds.. until

However, you might be better off doing a hybrid of the two, especially

You might want to build the packages exclusively on your more powerful

In the addressbook go to tools - import. There are several formats to

import them into thunderbird.

 Any help with either of these two problems?

Well I hope this helps ;-)

[gentoo-user] change dpi in xorg

2005-07-28 Thread Michal Kurgan
Hello!
I want to know if dynamic changes of dpi are possible in xorg, and if yes how 
to do it... here is more specific explanation of my problem.
Recently i had fun with tv-out, i want to connect tv through radeon 9700 and 
fglrx driver, it worked, better or worse. But i found that when i change 
resolution, which is needed in my situation (i use 1280x1024 on crt monitor, 
and tv works on 1024x768 maximal resolution), dpi changes too, fonts are 
smaller, and unreadable, 1024x768 isn't very bad but using this may be 
hard... Also when i add second monitor to x dpi settings changes if i don't 
specify my own setting. I never used smaller resolutions than my default so i 
don't even notice this problem earlier. So there is my question if i can 
change dpi dynamically, i can do it when starting x, with kdm kdmrc file (kde 
3.4.1 version) or DisplaySize section in xorg.conf but this works in static 
way, once for one resolution, if i use RandR to change resolution dpi setting 
will be recalculated.

Gentoo already includes the necessary patches if you have USE=crypt.

You just have to remember to do emerge loop-aes after each kernel 
upgrade to rebuild the kernel module.



That's the idea, that scheme plus the best superted method out fo the box (or

No no no, cryptoloop is completely brain-damaged security, and AFAIK, 
out of the kernel.  Loop-AES would be the logical successor to 
cryptoloop from a functional and setup standpoint.

[gentoo-user] question about files as disks

I'm helping some people using gentoo and one of the tasks is the 
production of flash memory updates for the firewall.  The script for 
producing flash images contains calculations determining sector offsets 
so that the disk image can be treated as a partitioned disk.


Is there anyway to treat a file as if it were a physical disk from the 
partitioning through mounting of each individual partition and its 
unmounting?  I can keep doing it the clumsy error-prone way if I need to 
him but I was just trying to find out if there was an option that

 It try to read a /dev/urandom, does this device node created properly by
 udev. In my box, there is corresponding rules in udev setting.

  /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules:KERNEL==urandom,  NAME=%k,

  I would say 'yes it is there' ;)
 
  Hm, one more: it does not matter, if it is a coldboot, or a reboot.
  Sometimes it hangs. sometimes it hangs not.

 It must be a problem with the urandom driver in your kernel because the
 urandom(4) manpage says that A read from the /dev/urandom device will not
 block waiting for more entropy.

This means that Enlightenment or support library routines it calls

There's no Kconfig option because the random number generator is a required

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Apache Virtual Host

2005-07-28 Thread Paul Raison
To use virtual hosting with Apache2, you should them up in the 
/etc/apache2/conf/vhosts/vhosts.conf file. Then you need to add this 
directive within the Virtual Host block:-


directory /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
/directory

Repeat this section for /usr/local/koha/opac/htdocs/

This should get it working.

  Cool, so i can discard that the problem comes from vim + libncurses.
 
  In other mails from the thread we've reached to the point of knowing
  that mutt is reencoding the chars. Since you seem to know about
  libraries and calls to functions, do you know a method to track this
  issue? I've been thinking maybe an strace to mutt, but y don't know
  what to search for, and strace gives lots of info.

 strace gives lots of information, but sometimes you can reduce it by
 looking only at specific calls.  Usually what I'm interested in from
 strace in this type of problem is the exec's and open's it shows.

 I'm not sure what mutt's doing either.  But if it's recoding the information,
 it's doing either via runtime library or via an external program.

 Another tool is ltrace, which would (like strace, a lot of information)
 show the library calls mutt makes.  That's useful in this sense to see
 if it's doing something with iconv.

  So the question is: what would you do to track this problem?

 I'd probably poke at the strace and ltrace results enough to get a sense
 of generally what it's doing, then grep through mutt's sources to see
 where it's doing _that_.

Well, thank you very much, and everybody else who has replied. Finally
i didn't need do poke through sources. The problem was that since i
change to utf-8 from latin1, my configuration files remained in
latin1, one of them was ~/.muttrc wich contained the first line of
this mail, with the word decía encoded in latin1.

So when mutt was compossing the temporal mail in /tmp for vim it found
decía and said to itself: this is latin1, let's encode the rest
with this and so it re-encoded my already utf-8 chars in utf-8 again.

The solution was to encode ~/.muttrc in utf-8. Also the same effect is
produced with an .alias or .signature file in another encoding, so be
aware! :)

Like i said, i've been through the FAQ, and searched the web using
google, the last thing after the mail from Thomas was narrow my search
using google groups and this string: utf-8 vim mutt and it gives 199
hits, from which i've read 50 when the reply come through mutt list. I
think i'm going to edith the mutt faq now since it's in a wiki.

Thank you everybody, i'm in testing mode, but i think this is it, it's
solved.

all I'm doing right now is running IPCop in qemu.  then using ssh, copy

I'm trying to eliminate the /boot partition and the process of building

This is why I was hoping there was some way to create a multi-partition 
disk out of a file and be able to read and write them in the same way 
we do multi-partition hard drives.


I am about 30 pico seconds away from finding out if I can mount up the

seconds+ it takes to start up or shut down qemu.hopefully I can make the 
build process work that way.  It might be less pain although making grub

[gentoo-user] ethereal dies abruptly

2005-07-28 Thread James
Hello,

Ethereal use to work perfectly. Recently I upgraded to the newest
(portage) version of Ethereal. Now, when I terminate a capture
session, the entire Ethereal application dies off. Is there
a bug (I could not find) or did the default configuration change
or did I miss something that I need to configure, to keep the
Ethereal application running even after capture terminations?

If I try to restart a live running sessoin, it dies too. The previous 
(portage) version of ethereal did not behave like this? 

Is there a config file or somewhere in the ebuild I could check the
settings upon initialization?  Nothing I've found in the man pages
or /usr/share/ethereal/help  seems prevent  this crashing after
a capture session is terminated

 1. If, after I started X, I leave it overnight in a vc, then

 It looks like firefox is causing the problem  or perhaps one of the GTK libs
 or the GTK engine itself.
 
 The error does not appear to be enlightenment, rather enlightenment gets
 caught in the middle when X is forced to die.
 
 Perhaps you need to compile firefox rather then using the bin?

Hum, I always compile my own firefox. Firefox-bin often throw random
errors at me. Am currently running 1.0.6-r3. Well, let me test that
hypothesis. I'll see if X still crashes if I just leave it on without
firefox running.

[gentoo-user] Re: ethereal dies abruptly

James wireless at tampabay.rr.com writes:

 Ethereal use to work perfectly. Recently I upgraded to the newest
 (portage) version of Ethereal. Now, when I terminate a capture
 session, the entire Ethereal application dies off. 

Well, I downgraded (isn't eix wonderful?) to ethereal 0.10.11

I got the same problem, but more details on the failure
snip
/home/james/.kde3.4/share/config/gtkrc:37: error: unexpected identifier
`gtk-alternative-button-order', expected keyword - e.g. `style'
snip

So I commented out line 37 in gtkrc
#gtk-alternative-button-order = 1

Now it does not die upon termination of a capture session

looks like a kde_vs_gtk config/parameter feud

so I re emerged the latest (portage) version of ethereal.

It now works fine, so line 37 in 
/home/james/.kde3.4/share/config/gtkrc:37
was/is the problem


Comments or a more robust method of fixing/patching ethereal?

Hi Adrian,
Currently i use 'qpkg --dups -v', it's in app-portage/gentoolkit but
for some time is deprecated (+ etcat) and their replacement is
'equery'. When emerging latest (~x86 in my case) at the end of emerge
there are some info about qpkgetcat move them if you wish to use.
A quick check of equery options didn't show the same tool (output all
slotted packages), somebody?
HTH. Rumen



I have qpkg installed myself, and ran the command you specified. 
Amongst the other duplicate packages I got for freetype:
media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1
media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4
Hmm...
Looks like I'm . . . shafted??

I hate it when this happens

Adrian



  

Hi,
This is normal to have two slotted versions of freetype as they
(different major versions) are required by other packages. So no problem
here.

Re: [gentoo-user] boot problem since devfs-udev switch

it bootet fine with devfs, oh, and the config is the same since ages, 
three days later, I switched to udev.


Btw, I greped the config for random/urandom, there was nothing found. 
Hm, where should I look?




There's no Kconfig option because the random number generator is a 
required feature.  I don't see how it could be a udev issue because 
the /dev/urandom device file is either there or not and after that 
it's the kernel's responsibility.  I would build a new kernel.


Zac



You can pretty quickly determine if it is a kernel problem or a udev 
problem by adding a

'ls -l /dev/urandom' to /etc/init.d/urandom:

start() {
[...]
   ls -l /dev/urandom  # debug strangeness
   ebegin Initializing random number generator
   umask 077
   dd if=/dev/urandom of=/var/run/random-seed count=1  /dev/null

Also, only the display options for devfs were removed from 2.6.12, the 
code and config option in .config are still there.  Can you double check 
your kernel config, and make sure that # CONFIG_DEVFS_FS is not set.  
I think if you copied an old kernel config, you could have devfs support 
still in your kernel, which might cause some strange behavior.  I'm not 
sure.

[gentoo-user] dcc - socket(UDP): Address family not supported by protocol

2005-07-28 Thread JM Fraser
I keep getting this error whenever I invoke dcc.

Now the current version is: 1.3.10 but this is not supported by Portage
even when added to keyworks or unmasked, (if it was masked...:wink: ) The
version listed with emerge is 1.2.74. Has anybody ever managed to get this
to work properly or is there any alternative? I using Pyzor, Razor and SA,
but something else would help.

There was even some post about enabling various ports on my firewall to
allow thru udp so that dcc could update traffic which I have done, but to
no avail.

In /etc/rc.conf. IP6 was enabled, but I corrected it. What should I restart
to reflect this change? Will this help?

[gentoo-user] Suggestions for a TV Box

2005-07-28 Thread Tom Eastman
Hey Guys,

I've got a reasonably stripped down gentoo box (P3-733) with a good video
card running in my living room, with the TV as its monitor and a wireless
keyboard and mouse.

Sounds great so far, doesn't it?  But what shall I do with it?  It has good
TV out capability but no TV in.  I have freevo running at the moment, but
not MythTV, I'm not really brave enough yet, it seems pretty complicated to
set up (I have exactly zero MySQL experience).

So, how would you go about getting a good computing experience out of an
older computer with a TV output?  What do people think would make a nice
window manager?  It would be kind of cool to get things like web-browsing
or email up and running.  I'm kind of thinking some kind of non-window
based interface would be cool, like what you see on palm devices and such. 
As well as locking it down to nice big fonts that can be easily read on a
TV screen.

So what do people think?  At the moment its primary function is to grab
movies and stuff off of my NFS and play them throught the TV, but I'm sure
there is potential for it to be so much more!

Inspire me!  ;-)

Tom
