[gentoo-user] resume a CVS download? (maybe OT)
I have installed enlightenment and have a liking for it. So I am trying to install e17, which is a bit more of a chore, and, yes, I do know it's unstable. In fact, it involves a number of CVS archives. Since I am on a dialup line, it is extremely troubling to note that the archive, involving (several times) hours and hours of downloading, is started off fresh each time! Thinking it clever, I tarred the files before I had to stop the emerge process (to allow the other members of the house access to the phone). But when I restarted the emerge process, the entire temporary archive was cleared out, and started from scratch: in fact error messages indicated that the files should not have been there, and they were being moved aside! I am trying emerge --resume . Is there something I need to know or some FM with this info? Thank you (he slinks away in fear of having offended the orthodox whose advice he had spurned.)

[gentoo-user] Weird permission problem trying to start Dante SOCKS server
Hi there, I'm facing a weird problem that seems to be related somehow to some permission problem I can't identify. I'm trying to use the Dante SOCKS server, that has three different users you may specify at its configuration file. They should be the sockd user (id 101), but if I use it, I get the following error while checking the configuration file (this error prevents the service from starting): proxy ~ # /usr/sbin/sockd -V Jan 2 16:45:31 (1136216731) sockd[0]: socks_seteuid(): old: 0, new: 101 Jan 2 16:45:31 (1136216731) sockd[0]: socks_reseteuid(): current: 101, new: 0 Jan 2 15:45:31 (1136216731) sockd[0]: socks_reseteuid(): getpwuid(0): Permission denied (errno = 13) Jan 2 15:45:31 (1136216731) sockd[0]: sockdexit(): terminating After googling around I found that getpwuid is a function that returns the information associated with an entry in /etc/passwd for the given uid, and socks_reseteuid seems to be the function used by Dante to switch from on user to another one. So it seems when Dante runs as user 101 (sockd) the call to getpwuid is failing due to a permission problem. I've checked users, permissions on /etc/passwd, and can't find any reason why this would be failing so any help would be greatly appreciated. More info: proxy ~ # id root uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel),11(floppy),20(dialout),26(tape),27(video) proxy ~ # id sockd uid=101(sockd) gid=2(daemon) groups=2(daemon) proxy ~ # ls -l /etc/passwd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1772 Dec 20 15:01 /etc/passwd proxy ~ # cat /etc/passwd | grep root root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash operator:x:11:0:operator:/root:/bin/bash proxy ~ # cat /etc/passwd | grep sockd sockd:x:101:2:added by portage for dante:/etc/socks:/bin/false Any ideas TIA, best regards Jose

[gentoo-user] What to backup?
I'm using rsnapshot for backups and am very satisfied with it. However I'm uncertain just what to backup. Currently I'm backing up: /home/tony/ /etc/ /var/lib/mysql/ (for some databases) Is there anything else I should be backing up? I suspect there are some more things in /var that should be included.

Here's the output so far: It seems that something is not stable with the X server or with the card drivers. For now, perhaps forget MythTV and just see if you can get a stable input running with something like tvtime - [ N] media-tv/tvtime (0.9.12): High quality television application for use with video capture cards. Perhaps some tweaking to /etc/X11/xorg.conf is needed or different params to the video card driver to change some options.

Hi all, I'm having difficulties exporting environment variables from within scripts. The problem doesn't seem to occur when exporting variables from the command line. To reiterate with an example, # export VARIABLE='test' # echo $VARIABLE works. However, # echo export VARIABLE='test' test_script # chmod 754 test_script # ./test_script # echo $VARIABLE does not work. I've also tried the above while omitting the 'export' command, to the same effect. I'm using bash as my shell. I figured that I would try the same with sh instead, but still nothing.

For some reason, I can't get kmail or thunderbird to shake hands with my ISP's SMTP server. The user name and password are valid. I can access the webmail interface just fine.

Running 'qmail' here no postfix experience. HTH.Rumen I've got no idea how to set up postfix. If I'm going to use it, I'll need a howto or some pointers.

I'm thinking I should boot to that and see what I can figure out. does anyone have suggestions as to what I should be looking for? I've looked at qmail, it seems postfix blocks it.

[gentoo-user] k3b access rights
. . or at least this is what I suspect being wrong: == IDE DVD-ROM x16 /dev/hdb 660 root.cdrom 666.root.cdrom PHILIPS DVD8421/dev/hda 660 root.cdrom 666 root.cdrom == == cdrdao 1.2.0 /usr/bin/cdrdao 4711 root.root no change cdrecord 2.1 /usr/bin/cdrecord 0755 root.root no change == This is my fstab: == # DEVICES /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrw iso9660 noauto,rw,uid=1001,user 0 0 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 == BTW, when I mount the cdrw I get this message: mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only. This is the /mnt/cdrw access rights: == drwx-- 2 root root 48 Nov 19 14:33 cdrom1 dr-xr-xr-x 1 suzy root 2048 Jan 2 19:44 cdrw == (suzy is the uid=1001) I would like to have the DVD mountable by other uid's too, but having just user in fstab causes problems mounting it as a simple user. Any suggestions? -- Regards, Mick Lycos email has now 300 Megabytes of free storage... Get it now at mail.lycos.co.uk
[gentoo-user] Why is dbus-0.60 conflicting with totem?
Hi! I tried to update world and failed: Calculating world dependencies . . .^H^H ...done! [blocks B ] =sys-apps/dbus-0.60 (is blocking media-video/totem-1.2.0-r2) That is because of the following new line in totem-1.2.0-r2.ebuild: nsplugin? ( =net-libs/gecko-sdk-1.7 =sys-apps/dbus-0.35 !=sys-apps/dbus-0.60 ) So when nsplugin USE flag is set, dbus-0.60 cannot be installed. In the changelog at http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/media-video/totem/ChangeLog I find: Adding dbus 0.60 mask as Cardoe is unmasking Aha. Who or what is that Cardoe thing? And why is that line added? Alexander Skwar -- Men of quality are not afraid of women for equality. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Accurate way of Detecting # of times a file is opened
Hi, I hope this isn't off-topic. I have a few files which I would like to share to some housemates, but I don't want these files to be opened by everyone at the same time. (limit stress on my PC etc) So, what I would like to do is some sort of library checkout mechanism. I'm hoping to be able to write a script that will check how many instances of the file is already in use. My initial thinking is to use lsof. eg: lsof | grep -i exact_filename | wc -l and count the number of times it occurs, compare it to a database(?) (this is most likely to be just a txt file) and see if I will permit the connection. Is lsof a suitable/accurate tool? I mean, based on linux's architechture, one can still access/stop playing the file( but didn't close the orig app that played/used it) Comments please? (Preferably a command line app / solution) -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
