[gentoo-user] [OT] Off site storage solution
This is very OT, but maybe I can finde some suggestions here. I've got a gentoo server running on a VPS from linode http://www.linode.com/ . I'm using the basic plan (linode 360) and I'm happy with that. The plan gives me 16gb storage that is enough for the webserver to work and to store a lot user documents (PDF mostly) in the site. Now an user asked me to store online his bibliography that it's about 96gb and growing. A realtively cheap solution would be to store at home his documents (well protected and backupped), on a dedicated nas. The matter is that my isp doesn't give me a lot of upload bandiwidth (while I can download more than 1mb/s I can't upload more than 50k/s). This might become kinda annoying if the user is on the other side of the world and wants to show to a collegue a 190mb pdf. I could also upgrade my linode to a linode 2880, that would give me enough space (128GB instead of 16) but will also cost me much more ($159.95 per month instaed of $19.95). This is due to the fact that they will also increase my ram and data transfer (that I don't need). Is anyone aware of a off site storage solution that could satisfay my needs? Thank you in advance and sorry for the OT --- TopperH http://topperh.blogspot.com pgp4CVgCP3pwi.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Luks: Which cipher to use
Hi all, I am about to encrypt my external hard drive. I found the howtos http://de.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/DM-Crypt and http://de.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/DM-Crypt/Daten-Partition_verschl%C3%BCsseln (sorry, German...). They give a good understanding of how to do the stuff, but I am unsure about which cipher to use. LRW is considered insecure in some cases so thus it should be replaced by XTS which is experimental though... Furthermore, if using XTS is used, there is different options like xts-plain, xts-benbi, xts-essiv:sha256. Which option is preferable? What about the key size? Is there any relation between key size and block size of the file system in terms of data security? Thanks for your tips and suggestions! -- Regards, Marco

Can you share with us how you white-list IPs via your iptables setup? That is your code you add to your startup script and your iptables syntax on those white/black listed IPs? Hum? the init script for iptables automatically saves and loads the policy, at least with SAVE_ON_STOP=yes in /etc/conf.d/iptables, so I don't have any special configs in any start-up scripts. I built my tables using the commandline. A good quick intro guide is at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml , section 5. The static part of the table looks something like this Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- 192.168.0.0/16 anywhere ACCEPT all -- localhostanywhere general_port_block all -- anywhere anywhere ssh_blacklist all -- anywhere anywhere Chain general_port_block (1 references) target prot opt source destination DROP tcp -- anywhere anywheretcp dpt:ftp DROP tcp -- anywhere anywheretcp dpt:urd DROP tcp -- anywhere anywheretcp dpt:smtp DROP tcp -- anywhere anywheretcp dpt:http DROP tcp -- anywhere anywheretcp dpt:http-alt DROP tcp -- anywhere anywheretcp dpt:https DROP tcp -- anywhere anywheretcp dpt:783 DROP tcp -- anywhere anywheretcp dpt:ipp If you know iptables at all, you can probably figure out what I did to set it up(*). The 'general_port_block' chain is to just make things tidier. So you see, I set the default policy to allow connections. I whitelist first the LAN and localhost. Then I filter everything through the two chains. The general_port_block chain is static, and it blocks a bunch of services, some of which I run (but which I only want my family to access from the LAN), some I don't. As you can see, I don't block ssh, because I sometimes travel a bit. So instead, I have a separate chian that helps a bit in slowing down brute force attacks. The ssh_blacklist chain is dynamically generated via a perl script. The script monitors the ssh logs and blocks IPs for a certain period of time after either an attempt to log-in as root, or five failed log-in attempts. (I have locked myself out once or twice from a hotel when I accidentaly hit the capslock...) Basically you just add a target to be blocked to the iptables and use atd to remove it some time later. (*)If you don't know iptables, man iptables. What do you use to maintain these white/black lists of IPs, tools and philosophy.? My philosophy is common sense. I white list those ips that I want to be able to access the services. I black list those I don't. For services like ssh, I pray that my efforts are secure enough.

I might provide the user both a physical storage (at my place) and the amazon s3. This way the user will be able to use the local one for 90% of his needs, integrated in the web interface he alredy knows and uses everyday (or maybe a knowledgtree installation would be even better), and a link for fast downloads, near every file that will connect directly to the amazon server. If I set up a script to keep in sync my local storage and the amazon one, the user will be able to reduce the costs (only download from amazon when really needed), and will not have to bother learning a new interface.

So your really should be trying to download

My guess was that OP meant that Gentoo Mirrors don't seem to carry the
file, even if it is still directly downloadable?
Over here portage tries downloading it from mirrors first (naturally),
gets 404s and then goes for the real source. So, maybe OP has a gentoo
mirror available nearby (in network topology) and just wants to reduce
wasted international traffic?
Ah, I didn't understand the OP correctly. I thought he was just
looking at the ebuild and trying to download the package manually.
Hum, it looks like that on the mirrors, the file is stored
as 'download.pl?dmg2img-1.6.tar.gz', which may cause a problem. I
think you should file a bug! Maybe tell them to change SRC_URI to
something like
SRC_URI=http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/download.pl?${P}.tar.gz
mirror://gentoo/download.pl%3f${P}.tar.gz
So the the link to the version on the mirror works.
Also... another thought. Don't know if it works:
I vaguely remember something in EAPI-2 that may fix this problem,
http://ciaranm.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/eapi-2-src_uri-arrows/
It may not get acted on just yet, but it maybe better for the future.
So perhaps you can try mentioning it in your bug :)

[gentoo-user] Xen questions
Hi everyone, I saw recently on some others threads that virtualization is being used by some of you. So, i have a question : currently, i'm running a dedicated server under Xen 3.3.1 and xen-sources-2.6.18-r12, with 11 domUs, all running Gentoo of course, and on amd64. But, i was wondering about the used kernel version. Indeed, these one begin to be very old, and i saw that on some other linux distributions, the used kernel version is 2.6.25. So here are my questions : - why 2.6.21 stays masked on ~arch (last entry in changelog date of 31/08/2008) ? - is someone still working on Xen in Gentoo ? - i know about kvm, so is there any reason to migrate to KVM instead of Xen ? Thanks a lot for your opinion. Best regards. -- Xavier Parizet YaGB : http://gentooist.com GPG :C7DC B10E FC21 63BE B453 D239 F6E6 DF65 1569 91BF signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

It's _old_, really old, that's why it's hardmasked. The current 2.6.18-based Xen-kernel ebuild is the kernel (patch) that's included with Xen 3.3 (again, IIRC). There are no newer _official_ Xen-kernels (at least none newer than 2.6.18), and the Gentoo-developers decided not to include a forward-port anymore, as it quickly becomes unmaintainable when the version difference between kernel trunk and Xen kernel becomes larger. There are forward-ports done by some other distributions (the 2.6.25 you're hinting at is the Xen-kernel forward port of the Debian-guys, IIRC). Someone is rebasing the SuSE-forward-ports of the Xen-kernels to Gentoo, and is offering ebuilds for download here: http://code.google.com/p/gentoo-xen-kernel/downloads/list The kernels offered by the SuSE-developers are at most 1-2 minor revisions behind the current vanilla kernel (as far as i can tell). I've been using those rebased SuSE-Xen-kernels productively on a Gentoo machine since quite some time, and they've always been very stable. - is someone still working on Xen in Gentoo ? Yes. To convince you, Xen 3.4.1 took about a day (post release by the Xen developers) to be included in ~x86-portage. - i know about kvm, so is there any reason to migrate to KVM instead of Xen ? If you're currently using HVM, partially; HVM is in portage (and is also maintained), so you wouldn't need to rely on outside ebuilds, but the respective infrastructure for maintaining HVM-based machines from the command-line is poor (there's no such thing as xm and init-scripts, which can be a major PITA). If you're using para-virtualized kernels, then definitely no, as HVM fully virtualizes all I/O (which degrades disk-IO considerably more than a paravirtualized Xen instance), unless you're adventurous and willing to play with virtio-drivers, which I could never get completely stable. YMMV, and HTH! -- Heiko Wundram Gehrkens.IT GmbH FON 0511-59027953 | http://www.gehrkens.it FAX 0511-59027957 | http://www.xencon.net Gehrkens.IT GmbH Strasse der Nationen 5 30539 Hannover Registergericht: Amtsgericht Hannover, HRB 200551 Geschäftsführer: Harald Gehrkens, Daniel Netzer

On x86 and more usable amd64 desktop setup I get a similar error as you did.

I cannot test it on x86 right now, hopefully tomorrow I'll again remember to reboot to 32-bits and try some more. Maybe even get something done for the hearts, if the hints in the bug report are sufficient for fixing it. Yea, hearts is already installed but if I needed to reinstall for some reason, I would be in a mess. I just hope they will fix it since it is KDE 3. I could send mp3splt-gtk to the dustbin for a while, I guess. Just hope no one else needs it. ;-) I'm using without problems: media-sound/mp3splt-gtk-0.5.6 with USE=nls -audacious -gstreamer Can't help you with hearts because I'm not going to emerge kdelibs-3 to try that :) it looks like something Qt-related, though.

You can have one or the other but not both. If packages want to give you both, you have to persuade them to not give you the undesired one. You need to learn to read the emerge output and see what is causing bluez- libs-3 to be emerged. In this case it is gvfs. That ebuild says this: RDEPEND= ... bluetooth? ( dev-libs/dbus-glib =net-wireless/bluez-libs-3.12 And bluez-libs is part of the version 3 package. The only way to solve this is to stop gvfs from wanting bluez-libs. Several options: You are installing kde-meta, do you really want all of gnome? Put -gnome in USE. Do you really want gnome support in Firefox? Put -gnome in package.use for firefox Do you use gvfs to access filesystems over bluetooth? Put -bluetooth in package.use for gvfs Do you actually use bluetooth at all? Put -bluetooth in USE That covers pretty much all bases. If you don't wnat gnome - just put -gnome in make.conf (btw -alsa, are you sure about that? you have -alsa, -oss - you don't want sound? set -gnome, if you don't want gnome. Then do an emerge -a --newuse world. Then emerge -a --depclean, and then retry. As long as gvfs with bluetooth flag is around, you will have that blockers. As long as several packages of you have the gnome flag, they will pull in gvfs.

Most open-source OS's supply the install disk in the form of an iso file, and to install Windows I create an iso file from the original CD/DVD first. The trouble is that there isn't a CD or DVD player on the vm at all; only /dev/fd0, which isn't a lot of use to me. You've confused me there. We're talking about VirtualBox, right? Every time I create a new virtual machine it automatically has a virtual CD/DVD player on which I can mount ISO files. Just tell vbox which ISO image you want mounted on the virtual CD player and start the vm. Are you seeing something very different at your end?

On Sun, Sep 6, 2009 at 8:17 PM, Neal Hogannealho...@gmail.com wrote: I hope you receive the stuff below with a grain of appreciation. I've asked for help on the mythtv forum, but have yet to get it. I recently acquired a new Hauppauge WinTV 1600 and have successfully gotten the analog side working with the analog channels (1-99). That is, I can plug my (Comcast) cable from the wall to the tuner card's analog input and get the basic cable channels. However, the whole reason for getting tv tuner card and mythtv was to record japanTV, which is beyond channel 99 and requires a set top box to watch it on the TV. I've read the installation instructions for the ATSC input of the card but I'm having problems and am aware of the IR blaster option. I suppose the main problem . . . the one causing the other problems like not getting any channels is that mythtv is not seeing my card. When I go to configure the capture card there is not DVB DTV card type offered, which suggests to me that card is not being seen. Suggestions? First, I want to apologize for the double post the other day. I, for some reason, had forgotten that I'd already posted the day before. Anyway, my situation is much better. I am able to capture japanTV. The thing is that I'm not sure how. Here is what I did. 1) Connected the tuner card's analog side to the cable box/set-top-box. 2) Set the cable box to japanTV (in this case, channel 674) 3) Attempted to gather channels at mythtv-setup, which it did . . . a handful (16,17,18,19, etc). 4) Just to see what channels it claimed to have found, I started recording 1 minute bits of each. 5) To my surprise, tuner card channels 17,18, and 19 captured japanTV with varying degrees of quality (18 being the best). So, for now I feel better because I can put this project down for a while. I guess part of my confusion comes from the fact that I didn't set the tuner channel like I would the TV (channel 3). Although, japanTV seems to be the only thing getting though.

Check forced' then something like '17.1% non-contiguous' then a long delay. Then one of two things, either a message saying 'errors fixed' or a forced reboot. What does it mean 'without being checked' Does the boot process expect a filesystem check, in this case e2fsck? Why should their be errors. I shut the machine like this '#shutdown -h(or -r) now' Everything is unmounted and the machine turns off without a glitch that I''m aware of. How can I run e2fsck on the drives *before* they are mounted, if that is what is required here? Maxim
