I guess grub will be overwritten by gentoo but will it contain the options to boot arch kernel images automatically? I really dont wanna mess up grub. You'll minimize your grub configuration work and pretty much neutralize any risk to your currently installed OSes by testing and trying out Gentoo in a virtualized system. For example VirtualBox is freely available and takes only a few mouse clicks to configure a virtual machine specifically suitable for Gentoo (or Ubuntu, or Linux Mint, or Fedora, or OpenSUSE, or ...), then you just attach the CD ISO to the virtual machine (clickety-click, 3 clicks if it's on the Desktop?), and boot (doubleclick). Next you do the install, which in Gentoo's case means following the Gentoo Handbook. You can keep important tools like irc-client, your favourite search engine and Gentoo Handbook browser window running in the host OS, jumping between the host and guest with a single mouse click and right ctrl key to get back. And that's just using the default settings out of the box. Try it out once. It hooked me after the 15 minutes it took to make the first virtual image (and that's where I read all the labels and options). Naturally, YMMV. will try that out soon thanks :) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJL/MgaAAoJEFsDLiKSAHN6USkIALP2tzZHLchWPivoD/hdBXVX UXyO4TW+G4WnL3EaVd1oil85tLZ1btlN2yZ2MffQwFXRSemoUHtqcBZrcAd8/+ie judw6ZEX3VAyut3JCgNIMaFi+RTWhcxXMshNumyBU1XayfVKQcurcBr8FV//Oj+J tV/IITg+GeDiUfHbIr8l8/k7I+SIZ70u8uqhtcpwp8vAGju4ASW9jVygNMtb+onT zutRH1yNGe5NUErx63BJZ/ur4HRJogq3ewkwrc5zqAmTouegNt1z+XLJjt1UEmY0 +/Wi7ejsRARkRSWJTbonaA0uU19/y/Y968ECEyxNXWH7d2rONIKWXhLmdeAeklo= =VWTG -END PGP SIGNATURE-

don't use df. Use cp -a. Also, the exact errors would be helpfull.

But to increase the number of inodes, you have backup /usr, re-create the partition with more inodes, and copy the stuff back. If you do not want to do so, you could move things to your home partition. I'd move /usr/portage first (and change the location in make.conf), that has many small files eating up many inodes. And if space is still getting small, just move other things like/usr/src, and set a symlink so /usr/src is still a valid path.

When I wrote this, I did not really know much about this, I just spotted the 2nd slot. At that time, I also had a little libpng trouble, I could not update @world due to libpng blockers. I unmerged libpng, updated something that was blocking (don't remember what), and remerged libpng, because many applications were no longer working. I did the world update, ran lafilefixer --justfixit, emerged @preserved-libs, and had to do a revdep-rebuild, don't know why, I thought with FEATURES=preserve-libs this should no longer necessary. But in the end, everything is sane now. My eix output looks similar, I also have both 1.2.43-r3 and 1.4.2 installed. But still some pkgs strike out from what appears to be libpng errors: Example: xfce-base/thunar-1.0.2, (Wrapped for mail) (Emphasis added with asterisks -ed hp) ---- ---=--- - tail of emerge: , | [...] | | /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/../../../../\ | | i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: | cannot find -lpng12 Weird. I just tried that, and thunar-1.0.2 compiles just fine. Does /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 exist on your system? But, wait a minute, my thunar links to libpng14.so.14, not to 1.2. Do you have /usr/lib/libpng14.so.14? Maybe lafilefixer -justfixit fixed something for me, and you should try this, too? Thanks for your reply, but I guess it will remain a puzzle... I did so many things fussing with libpng... I'm not sure what fixed it in the end. One of them was to redo installing both libpng version all over again, by emerge -vC libpng completely then installing again making sure to install 1.4 first, and 1.2 in the slot. But also used `lafilefixer -justfixit' Not to mention Neils fix with the nifty regular expressions. Also a revdep-rebuild in there. At some point I was able to startx... (A libpng 1.2 error had been stopping X from starting) and finish the rest from X. (getting the xfce pkgs to install finally.) I kept having the nagging feeling I might have originally had the libpng version in the wrong order... I'm not sure if that is even possible though.

[gentoo-user] Postfix question about auth and blocklists...
On a gentoo mailserver, I'm running Postfix 2.6.5 - and, having followed some howto or other, quite a long time ago, I have this section at the end of my main.cf: -- smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_rhsbl_sender bogusmx.rfc-ignorant.org -- While it might not be optimal, it worked extremely well for a long time. The block lists were a godsend as I receive(d) quite a lot of spam which had threatened to bog down spamassassin. For ages, I just used my ISP's SMTP server to send, and only received on my own. I've bought a smart phone (an HTC HD2 on Windows Mobile 6.5) and need to use it to access my email on this server - both via mobile and Wi-Fi connectivity. The IMAP(s) side works OK for my inbox (after a few dovecot tweaks) - and, after a setting up SASL, I can now send email from my phone via my own SMTP server, which gateways this to my ISP... all secured by a complex password. So far, so good - and I can send email from home over Wi-Fi from my phone. The problem arises elsewhere... where I'm not connected to my local (W)LAN (i.e. where I'm not in permit_mynetworks) - where the phone reports: -- The server returned the following error message: 554 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host 149.254.48.170 blocked using sbl-xbl.spamhouse.org; http://www.spamhous.org/query/bl?ip=149.254.48.170 -- The block comes as no surprise as 149.254.48.170 isn't exclusively under my control - and, likely, is a vector for lots of spam - now mobile data services are cheap and difficult to trace. What I didn't expect is for my connection to be rejected even though I had the right username and password. So... the questions: * How can I alter the configuration to process email from blocked locations if and only if the client authenticates? * How can I verify that SMTP auth has been done (when connecting from my LAN) - it would be a disaster if I inadvertently created an open relay. (I don't think I have - but better safe than sorry, etc.) Thanks in advance for any replies...

I am just trying to have the dump done at the right point in the boot sequence without manually going into single user mode. If I could automate the snapshot, I could automate the dump. Indeed rereading the gentoo manual, I see that the requirement that you invoke a service and not a script that exits, applies only to start-stop-daemon, so I will just try to invoke my script directly from the init script. allan

[gentoo-user] Lov'n Gentoo
Folks, I just had to share this. So I read the Linux journal, mostly to do my part to keep publications about Linux alive. Occationally they write about something cool, though rarely related to Gentoo So I read about a very cool submarine game today on LJ: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/danger-deep Only to discover it's already in portage. KUDOS to the Gentoo game devs for being on top of this one I'm so glad I hate windows and love Gentoo.. Sure, I'm an old fart, but, I'm going off to test out this game (so I can tell my kids about it and be cool.for about 5 seconds). James

The block lists were a godsend as I receive(d) quite a lot of spam which had threatened to bog down spamassassin. For ages, I just used my ISP's SMTP server to send, and only received on my own. I've bought a smart phone (an HTC HD2 on Windows Mobile 6.5) and need to use it to access my email on this server - both via mobile and Wi-Fi connectivity. The IMAP(s) side works OK for my inbox (after a few dovecot tweaks) - and, after a setting up SASL, I can now send email from my phone via my own SMTP server, which gateways this to my ISP... all secured by a complex password. So far, so good - and I can send email from home over Wi-Fi from my phone. The problem arises elsewhere... where I'm not connected to my local (W)LAN (i.e. where I'm not in permit_mynetworks) - where the phone reports: -- The server returned the following error message: 554 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host 149.254.48.170 blocked using sbl-xbl.spamhouse.org; http://www.spamhous.org/query/bl?ip=149.254.48.170 -- The block comes as no surprise as 149.254.48.170 isn't exclusively under my control - and, likely, is a vector for lots of spam - now mobile data services are cheap and difficult to trace. What I didn't expect is for my connection to be rejected even though I had the right username and password. So... the questions: * How can I alter the configuration to process email from blocked locations if and only if the client authenticates? * How can I verify that SMTP auth has been done (when connecting from my LAN) - it would be a disaster if I inadvertently created an open relay. (I don't think I have - but better safe than sorry, etc.) Thanks in advance for any replies... You want to split your rules between smtpd_recipient_restrictions, smtpd_sender_restrictions, and smtpd_client_restrictions. The first will apply rules to the recipient address, controlling the destinations to which the mail server will send mail. The second will apply rules to the sender address. The third will restrict who is allowed to connect to your mail server in the first place. By default, smtpd_recipient_restrictions permits mynetworks and rejects unauthorized recipients, smtp_sender_restrictions permits everything, and smtpd_client_restrictions allows all connections. In all, the first restriction that matches is applied. What you want it something closer to this: smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, reject_rhsbl_sender bogusmx.rfc-ignorant.org smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sender_restrictons = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain Note that I have not tested this exact configuration, but I have something similar on my mail server. This configuration will allow all mail from your local network and any authenticated client. If neither of these conditions are met, the remote client is blocked if they are on one of the DNS block lists, the sender address is not known, or the mail is addressed to an unauthorized destination. If the client is on the local network or authenticated, none of the other rules will apply. You can of course test the rules by using one of the many mail relay testing websites or simply connecting from outside your network with and without using authentication. For more information on these rules, look at the postfix documentation, which is quite comprehensive: * http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_recipient_restrictions * http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_client_restrictions * http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_sender_restrictions You might also want to take a look at smtpd_helo_restrictions and smtpd_data_restrictions for further tuning. Also, note that spamhaus recommends zen.spamhaus.org instead of sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org. The former is more comprehensive while the latter is geared only toward exploits. Do not include both, as zen includes sbl-xbl. For more in-depth information, you probably want to ask the

I don't use ATI but I think I read here a while back that ATI drivers
have to be compatible with certain versions of xorg. You may want to
see if you can use a newer version of the ATI drivers.
You can look at the ebuild to see what exact versions. From what i
read, it looks like you may need the 10 series instead of the 9 series.
Then again, it is sometimes backwards from what I am thinking. May be
worth testing anyway.
emerging ~amd64 drivers (x11-drivers/ati-drivers-10-4) did the job.
