Re: [gentoo-user] running e2fsck pre-mount

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. A feature of mount and a feature of e2fs. First, from man 5 fstab The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to deter- mine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked. Now you know what the last dangling number in /etc/fstab is for! For most of my partitions, except the root one, I set it to 0. Mostly because that my partitions are in ReiserFS. However, it is probably set to 0 in your case, otherwise the message you saw wouldn't have happened. Next, if you look at man tune2fs, you'd see the option '-c', which (just quoting the relevant parts) Adjust the number of mounts after which the filesystem will be checked by e2fsck. If [the number] is 0 or -1, the number of times the filesystem is mounted will be disregarded by e2fsck. 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. More from the manpage for tune2fs: You should strongly consider the consequences of disabling mount-count-dependent checking entirely. Bad disk drives, cables, memory, and kernel bugs could all corrupt a filesystem without makrking the filesystem dirty or in error. If you are using journaling on your filesystem, your filesystem will never be marked dirty, so it will not normally be checked. A filesystem error detected by the kernel will still force an fsck on the next reboot, but it may already be too late to prevent data loss at that point. Basically, since you don't ask the filesystems to be checked on every boot, to make sure your fs's are sane, ext2/3 will ask the filesystems to be checked every X mounts (also every T period of time, see the -i option in tune2fs for details). Like the manpage said, sh*t happens, and it is better that you check once in a while. However, if every single time when the fsck is run you either reboot or there is an error... there maybe something wrong with your hardware. If you don't have smartd installed, you should consider it, your data on the harddrive should be worth your time.

Re: [gentoo-user] Luks: Which cipher to use
On Tue, 8 Sep 2009 11:21:12 +0200 Marco listwo...@gmail.com wrote: 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? I might be wrong here, since I'm not a crypto expert, so feel free to correct, but here's how I see it... From dm-crypt.c: Different IV generation algorithms: plain: the initial vector is the 32-bit little-endian version of the sector number, padded with zeros if neccessary. essiv: encrypted sector|salt initial vector, the sector number is encrypted with the bulk cipher using a salt as key. The salt should be derived from the bulk cipher's key via hashing. benbi: the 64-bit big-endian 'narrow block'-count, starting at 1 (needed for LRW-32-AES and possible other narrow block modes) null: the initial vector is always zero. Provides compatibility with obsolete loop_fish2 devices. Do not use for new devices. IV (Initialization Vector) is just a piece of random data to mix with stuff-to-encrypt for a disk block, so two blocks, encrypted by the same key won't look the same. Obviously, you need to know it to get the data back. Some sort of salt for a stream ciphers, but it doesn't get recorded anywhere, being calculated on-the-fly by one of the above methods. Note that 'always zero' approach would produce unsalted data, so not only the blocks can be identified, but also swapped - root-owned data can be pushed into some /tmp file (say, at night), which will be accessible by some malicious code after you'll enter the key. Plain and benbi seem to be simple counters, second one is probably just a multiple of the first, counting cipher blocks instead of disk blocks. These rule out the former case, but allow to write similar blocks of data, which can later be easily found on disk, especially if the length of data between them is known, since IV is absolutely predictable. ESSIV, on the other hand, uses the hash of these counters with the key itself to salt IV, so it seem to rule out all the aforementioned vulnerabilities. Hash strength here ensures that it can't be turned into former 'plain counters' case due to hash collision. XTS/LRW/CBC/... are methods to encrypt the single data block to a disk block. Since data is read in blocks, block also seem to be the atomic unit of data encryption - everything is en-/decrypted in whole blocks when read/written from/to disk. These methods further divide the disk block into a smaller units to ensure that there won't be a (similar to the above) case when two similar, say, 16-byte pieces in a single 512k disk block would look identical, otherwise some data with such watermarks can be generated and proven to be on this disk - whole blocks can be marked with them, so they can later be found, along with any known data between them. They also mix the key with some generated salt for these units. CBC relies on plain data, so it can be broken by crafted data. LRW also seem to suffer from some known vulnerabilities, so XTS seem to be the best and recommended one. And the first part of some definition like serpent-lrw-benbi is a cipher itself - the method of mixing the key with data, so they can't be easily separated. There are plenty of cipher benchmarks out there (openssl has one built-in) and the vulnerabilities are quite known. Rijndael, known as AES, being the standard, is very fast, but is a subject to all sort of scrutiny. Last thing I heard is that AES-256 is actually easier to break (although it hasn't gone that far) than AES-128, but that stuff can be easily found on a regular newsfeeds. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net signature.asc Description: PGP signature

This is horrible to solve. I'll tell you what I've discovered when it happens to me. But first, the error message is generic and a best guess - rebuilding the packages that pulled them in might work, but also might not. The superficial problem is broken ebuilds caused by the real problem - broken build scripts that configure themselves in funky ways at build time. Real example, I have this on my machine: * dev-db/edb- pulled in by: * media-libs/imlib2_loaders- and nazgul mysql # eix imlib2_loaders [I] media-libs/imlib2_loaders [1] Installed versions: (18:33:40 09/06/09)(-doc -edb -nls) and # ldd /usr/lib64/imlib2/loaders/*.so | grep edb libedb.so.1 = /usr/lib/libedb.so.1 (0x7f33bf139000) So, edb is nowhere in the dependency graph for imlib2_loaders (USE=-edb). Portage *knows* it should not depend on edb at all. But, when imlib2_loaders builds, ./configure finds edb on the system (I have it, I just don't want support for it in imlib2_loaders). The ./configure is broken - there is no --enable edb in it. Now this always just happened to work just fine for all of us. Recent portage know records link level deps when it builds stuff (see ldd above) so now concludes (correctly) that imlib2_loaders does not depend on edb per portage, but does per the actual system. It is now clear that I now have two and only two options: - Unmerge edb. This might not be desirable and I should not be forced to do this. - Build imlib2_loaders with edb support. This also might not be desirable. Actually there's a third option: fix the e17 team's broken build scripts. In your case, I think you need to rebuild scribus with USE=python Note that portage can't really help you diagnose these issues, it can only point them out. It has no idea that the inconsistency is due to that USE flag (it can't read human-speak). You also can't DEPEND on scribus[python] as 1. The dep is the wrong way round 2. It's actually force USE=python for scribus if, and only if, python is actually already present on the system. This is also the wrong way round and portage should not be expected to implement funky run-time detection workarounds for broken ./configure scripts. I did tell you at the beginning that it was complex, right? -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

These methods further divide the disk block into a smaller units to ensure that there won't be a (similar to the above) case when two similar, say, 16-byte pieces in a single 512k disk block would look identical, otherwise some data with such watermarks can be generated and proven to be on this disk - whole blocks can be marked with them, so they can later be found, along with any known data between them. They also mix the key with some generated salt for these units. CBC relies on plain data, so it can be broken by crafted data. LRW also seem to suffer from some known vulnerabilities, so XTS seem to be the best and recommended one. So I think I'll go with xts-essiv:sha256.

[gentoo-user] Portage doesn't notice all networkmanager dependencies for rebuild
Hello, I was upgrading (or downgrading technically) from ~x86 to x86. So I didn't update or sync for about 6 months, and then with a few exceptions for ~x86 in /etc/portage/package.keywords I was able to get to stable after emerging ~384 packages. This is not a highly recommended process, but it's one of two ways to get from unstable back to stable, and generally speaking things went just fine. However, networkmanager was never rebuilt by portage, and I found it was not working quite right after the updates. The nm-applet (and other wireless probes) could see networks, locate access points, and request WEP WPA keys and so on, but an IP address was never issued, and it just keeps asking for the password. I tried some hacks and fixes, but I can confirm all I needed to do was rebuild networkmanager. Given that I updated so many packages, it's very difficult for me to file a useful bug report on it. I do have a backup of the entire system prior to the update, but it's honestly not worth it to me to keep switching between backup and building packages trying to see which build networkmanager depends on that doesn't catch the necessity to rebuild networkmanager (especially since my system was running unstable code from 6 months ago, and the culprit package may already be fixed). So, I just wanted to toss this observation somewhere. If you use networkmanager and have wireless problems after an update, try rebuilding as a first solution! If anyone is just dying to know what package upgrade(s) breaks networkmanager, I can consider spending some time on the issue with my backups, but it seems like a very small point for so much effort.

For things like the KDE overlay it's almost required to do it that way

'%s' only shows the user, '%d' is empty, eg. query is ignored Does anyone know how I can force postfix to add the domain to the search query? Is mydomain parameter set in /etc/postfix/main.cf ? Yes, I believe this is necessary for postfix to actually accept emails? Or how else do I get this configured? Thanks, Joost

That process has worked on my machines but I don't use too many office apps. Good luck! Cheers, Mark Yes, I ran python-updater after the last python upgrade which was a week or so ago. I just hadn't ran --depclean yet. Needless to say, OOo just had to be recompiled too. It always does. Usually, about a week later, they have a upgrade for OOo which means I get to warm up my CPU again. Never fails. :/ So far, I have unmerged scribus, ran revdep-rebuild which didn't complain about anything this time and I am currently reinstalling scribus. No errors so far. I didn't get to test the python USE flag tho. According to emerge -pv scribus, it doesn't have that flag. Dale :-) :-) You actually compile OO? Wow! OO-bin for me.

hi James,
you have gentoolkit-0.2.4.5 and it needs python compiled with the xml USE
flag. it has to be that way, according to the ebuild. you can add xml do
the USE line on /etc/make.conf (if you want XML support to all ebuilds
that need it) or add a specific line on /etc/portage/packages.use (if you
want XML support only to python).
the syntax python[xml] means the ebuild python with the xml USE flag
active.

Re: [gentoo-user] running e2fsck pre-mount
However, if every single time when the fsck is run you either reboot or there is an error... there maybe something wrong with your hardware. If you don't have smartd installed, you should consider it, your data on the harddrive should be worth your time. IIRC the el cheapo ssd on this netbook is not smart-capable. Can't remember where I read that. I'll check again. Thanks for the tips. mw
[gentoo-user] Unpacking a .exe file
Hi All, I seem to be having problems unpacking a particular wireless driver.

Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. note: wg511v2_3_2.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of wg511v2_3_2.exe or wg511v2_3_2.exe.zip, and cannot find wg511v2_3_2.exe.ZIP, period. $ cabextract -l wg511v2_3_2.exe wg511v2_3_2.exe: no valid cabinets found All done, errors in processing 1 file(s) === Last time I used cabextract (more than a couple of years now) I don't recall having such problems.

So, did you ran theses commands and saw what happens after ? Then if they don't works, please post more information about your problem, for example, your full kernel .config ? And then, *very* important point, please do not make double or triple posting, it's very disturbing, and you will not get an answer quicker in this way. Thanks a lot for your understanding.

[gentoo-user] How often -uD world?
HI group, My netbook has only (4+8)G of sketchy SSD + SDHC RAM for everything and I am determined not to emerge anything I don't really need. But now that I'm mobile I have the capability of doing a -uD world whenever it's required without having to take days of dialup time. Question is, when's that? I assume with fewer packages, updating is not as urgent as on a big desktop with lots of HD space and lots of apps. Is there some sort of rule-of-thumb when it comes to timing or spacing their updates that members use to keep gentoo happy? Maxim

I recently successfully updated my stand-by desktop machine after 10 months.
I never do 'emerge world' without the '-p' flag,
but 'emerge -Dup world' shows an ordered list of what needs doing
you can work thro' the list 1 lineful of pkgs at a time.
I update my working machine once/week ('eix-sync' 'emerge -Dup world').

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE4: Constant crashes in conjunction with Konsole
2009/8/19 Frank Steinmetzger war...@gmx.de: Hi guys, until now I've been quite a KDE4 hater, but I'm willing to give it a try from time to time. So I installed 4.3 parallel to my beloved 3.5.10 and was quite pleased with it. However, I have repeating crashes of my entire X. Mostly it happens when I open Konsole, the next often occasion is opening a menu (main menu, context menu, you name it), but also only after a Konsole windows was opened. All I see is a quick error message about glibc, then X restarts and I'm back at kdm. I use a laptop with a Geforce 7600 GPU, running on nvidia-drivers-180.60. First I had 4.3.0 installed from main portage tree, but I had a faint hope they would have fixed it by now, so I installed the live slot from kde-testing. I already had this issue with older version. Could anyone shed some light on this, please? One thing I can think of is to disable 3D effects, but they're working quite well and it's the same with *cough* Vista - they are the main reason for switching over from a previous version. TIA -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' What do you call a dead bee? - A was. I've had this issue today with a new KDE 4.3.1 installation (actually not so new, it was running fine for 4 days). I decided to track down what was probably causing this issue since it apparently to came from nowhere. Well, after testing some configurations I realized that changing fonts size (specially menu's font) could lead to this problem, but reverting the size didn't solved. Them I started changing xorg.conf and found an workaround: disable BackingStore. I've tested several times and the crash never happened with BackingStore off. And I actually turned it on yesterday, so at least on my system that's the cause of the crash. So if you are experiencing this and have BackingStore on, disable it. If you don't have BackingStore enable try changing some other configuration in xorg.conf, it may help.
