[gentoo-user] using git to track (gentoo) server configs ?
I happily use git for local repositories to track configs in /etc or for example, /root/bin or /usr/local/bin (scripts ..) There is also etckeeper, yes, useful as well. But I would like to have some kind of meta-repo for all the gentoo-servers I am responsible for ... some remote repo to pull from. Most files in /etc might be rather identical so it would make sense to only track the individual changes (saves space and bandwidth) Maybe it would be possible to use git-branches for each server? Does anyone of you already use something like that? What would be a proper and clever way to do that? Yes, I know, there is puppet and stuff ... but as far as I see this is overkill for my needs. I'd like to maintain some good and basic /etc, maybe plus /var/lib/portage/world and /root/.alias (etc etc ..) to be able to deploy a good and nice standardized gentoo server. Then adjust config at the customer (network, fstab, ...) and commit this to a central repo (on my main server at my office or so). Yes, rsyncing that stuff also works in a way ... but ... versioning is better. How do you guys manage this? Looking forward to your good ideas ;-) Regards, Stefan

[gentoo-user] Mouse dies after a few minutes
Hi all, I'm running a 64 bit KDE setup in a laptop. In the last few days, the mouse has become erratic and in fact dies after a bit of usage. When KDE fires up, and I'm presented with the login dialogue, the mouse will work for a few seconds, up to 30 say, then it freezes. If I get in quick and enter the username/password, the mouse pointer will change from the black login pointer to a slightly different shaped white pointer and then freeze. The login process will continue and present me with my environment, but no mouse. A Cntl-Alt-Del will bring up the Log out/shutdown/restart dialogue and I can use the keyboard to select either shutdown or restart. The thing that is freaky is that this happens if the laptop is running from batteries. If I have the machine plugged into the wall, this problem does not exist. Has anyone come across a problem like this? Any thoughts, greatly appreciated. Andrew

My experience was that some whitelisting was necessary quite aside from Gentoo emerges, so I'd just add some Gentoo mirrors in there as allow all sites. By whitelisting you mean allowing access to some sites without authenticating the user on the proxy? In what cases did you find this necessary? It's been several years since I did this, so my memory may be hazy on the details. Desktop PCs were running Windows XP, and there was an SBS 2003 server that provided roaming profiles, so the demanding part was getting Squid to do auth via a Samba winbind PAM module. As I recall the office admin staff, or certain of them, had been spending too much time pissing about on Facebook and were too busy to answer the phone. I think the original claim that that these pen-pushers didn't need internet access to do their jobs so all sites would be blocked, and the boss wanted unlimited web access, unlocked by his password (actually winbind saved him doing that, because he was already logged into the domain). It turned out that the clerical staff had all been regularly and legitimately using Google Maps, gov.uk sites and a bunch of others in the course of their duties, so these had to be whitelisted. I plan to deploy on the same server also a content filter (DansGuardian) and all of this is new for me. I understood whitelisting can be done on DansGuardian to bypass URL filtering but here you are suggesting a different approach (bypass proxy authentication), right? I don't really care where you do it, TBH. In the case I've described above, I'm not sure that the boss handled it so well - he went for this draconian filter everything approach because he let himself get too annoyed at his staff instead of saying listen guys, you can't be on Facebook when the work's not getting done. So I think in this case, we simply had a couple of directives in /etc/squid/squid.conf which said users in the web group = allow all, otherwise deny. Then when we added the whitelist, we inserted a statement (before or between those previous two) that allowed any URLs or domains in a /etc/squid/whitelist.txt file we created. Maybe this example, of the boss going overboard, isn't the best one, but IMO it doesn't pay to treat your employees like children. If someone's surfing hardcore porn at work then everyone knows about it and the answer isn't to stop a bad employee doing this one particular thing you disapprove of (because he's sure to be doing other things you don't know about; you stop that one bad behaviour, and he goes and does something else), it's to get rid of or rehabilitate bad employees. There's always more than one way of doing things, and there are always going to be exceptions to any rule you create. You can find some way to make Portage / wget / curl authenticate against the proxy, or you can just whitelist the Gentoo box's URL (if it's a single server inside the LAN). You can do a network shared DISTDIR / PKGDIR / PORTDIR, or you can just whitelist anything you put in GENTOO_MIRRORS. I found whitelisting very easy and straightforward, though. Stroller.
[gentoo-user] Roland Boss Linux Drivers

The manual says these drivers are needed - I think it has a proprietary partitioning scheme. I was wondering if the kernel has included modules that work with the Boss recorders so one can connect them to a linux box. I am thinking about using one as a sound card in Gentoo. I found this and book marked it. it is for ubuntu but it may also apply to Gentoo: http://org0ne.livejournal.com/29979.html -- Best regards, Edward M. Learing Linux with Gentoo to earn LPIC1.
