Re: [gentoo-user] How to set up drive with many Linux distros?
Since this is a fairly custom task, I would approach it with a custom
solution.
- GPT
- systemd-boot
- One /boot partition
- One BTRFS-on-LUKS partition (formatted using the distro with the
oldest kernel)
- {@root,@home,@var,@srv,@opt}-{distro1,distro2,distro3} subvolumes
- Potentially {@distro1,distro2,distro3}-{downloads,documents,pictures}
subvolumes, if there's a usecase for that
- Bootstrap all the distros manually. Arch and Gentoo do that by
default, debian land has debootstrap, not too familiar with rhel
universe, but at the end of the day everything's a file :)
You could also write a script that keeps all the distros up to date
from within whichever one you're currently booted by mounting
subvolumes to /mnt or wherever, chrooting in and running the update.
You could also replace systemd-boot with efibootmgr to use UEFI boot
directly, but I would advise doing that after the everything is working
correctly as it's much easier to experiment using a good old bootloader
edit function.
BTRFS requires _some_ maintenance, but imho it's reasonable - run a
deduplication and defrag job on a scheduling tool of your choice and
you're good to go!

It really depends how you're setting up IPv6 on your local network. The easiest option is if you're using stateful DHCPv6. In this case you just need to set up your dhcp server to notify your dns server of any new leases. If you're using static IPv6 addresses you can create a static mapping between hostnames and addresses either in /etc/hosts or your dns server. If you're using SLAAC, however, the only option I can think of is to use stateless DHCPv6 to notify the DHCP server of your client fqdn which should then sync the record with the DNS server. -- Simon Thelen

That only works if you have dmix enabled and set all audio sources to use the dmix devices as the default audio device. If you don't have an alsa configuration in ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf dmix should be enabled by default, in which case it might be that one of the audio sources is grabbing the hardware device directly instead of going through the default device.

I've never actually benchmarked this. Most of the things I notice that tend to end up there are temporary build files generated during configure stages or temporary log files used by various programs (clang static analyzer). Even if the entire file stays in the page cache, it'll still generate IO overhead and extra seeks that might slow down the rest of your system (unless your /tmp is on a different hard drive) which on spinning rust will cause slowdowns while on an ssd it'll eat away at your writes (which you may or may not have to worry about). > But I see that tmpfs is the default with systemd.

Download inside `src_unpack'? git-r3.eclass has an EGIT_SUBMODULES array that you can populate according to the use flags, but you'll probably have to specify the main repo uri for A in both A, B, and C as the EGIT_REPO_URI and then just cd to the submodule in the ebuild for B/C.

Re: [gentoo-user] kdelibs wont compile
Probably just means that qt-3.x is broken e.g. cause by the expat bump. Use revdep-rebuild to fix it (see the numerous recent threads on this list). -- Bo Andresen I'm in a right mess here. I did a revdep-rebuild -p. It wanted to rebuild, essentially all of kde-3.5.5, because I'm in the middle of a big emerge, everything is missing libexpat, presumably because expat was early in the emerge. There was no mention of qt-3.3.8-r3, but of course the first thing revdep-rebuild wants to rebuild is kdelibs which wont rebuild because of the qt problem.

[gentoo-user] Weird kmail/kontact behaviour on startup
Hi all, This is a bit of a weird behaviour: - On KDE startup, an instance of kmail will invariably start, too. - I close it and start kontact - which will again open two windows, one with the kontact screen and basket open (why basket?) and one with kmail - I close these two again and start kontact again - this time I get my normal kontact with the mail open - On at least one occasion, though not reproducible, kmail started together with kopete, although I had only clicked kopete? Har? I have checked the autostart entries, and de-activated the session manager, to no avail. I can't even guess what might be the cause of this - it might have started after an emerge -uD prettymuchworld but I don't remember any KDE-related updates recently. Any ideas where I could look?

At the moment I'm open minded about what kind of software I'd want to employ - and also about what I'd like to prove.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo and Emacs in a terminal and intellisense-like functionality.
I've a few vaguely related questions. I'm an Emacs user from a decade ago - and have recently returned to using it... I'm trying to set it up as a useful modern development environment. I'd have chosen Eclipse, or something like that, if it wasn't for a constraint that I need it to work remotely (in a terminal) without resorting to X; VNC etc. There are two things I'd like to do, but on which I'm not getting very far very fast... I'd be interested to know if other Gentoo users have any hints or tips. I'd really like to have Intellisense-like behaviour - i.e. I've entered an object name when editing C++ - and I want to see a list of methods/attributes for that object... then, having chosen one, I want to see the arguments and types it requires. I'm aware of [CE]tags - though understand this facility to be somewhat more basic. I've read a little about Semantic, and I've installed app-emacs/semantic from portage... but can't see how to encourage it to do what I want. Any hints? The other thing I'd like to do is allow cursor positioning by clicking with a mouse. I realise that this isn't traditionally considered possible... but I'd like a facility in my terminal window a bit like gpm on the linux console.

[gentoo-user] Weird high-level question about an ad-hoc wiki-like database
I am looking for a client-server package (preferably with the server on gentoo from portage) which provides something which is vaguely like CRM... but in reverse - and for personal as opposed to corporate use. One requirement is for it to act as an address book that will allow me to associate: Contact name, phone number, mobile number, email address etc. Company name, location, notes Communication time-stamp; notes; associated documents. I'd like to be able to search all that for keywords... and to be able to find out at a glance from, say, a phone number when I was last contacted and what happened. I'd also like to be able to tell quickly if I've talked to other contacts at the same company - and, if so, how recently - and about what. Of primary importance is the idea that I want to be able to resolve these kinds of things as quickly as possible (so it looks as if I'm not yet senile because I don't remember who someone is.) It would be great if it would integrate with my postfix email server and tag incoming mails if they are referenced by my inverse CRM system. :-) I think it would be invaluable when getting quotes for things, for example, when you ask a dozen companies - forget who is who... but then get quotes by phone... and you wish you knew what they had promised on the previous call. Does anyone use anything that might fit the bill? Any other suggestions? Does anyone use a good address book (preferably one which integrates with Thunderbird via LDAP)? I hope this isn't too off-topic. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Sync'ing eGroupware and Kontact's calendar
Hi everyone, I decided to try Kontact's connectivity to eGroupware and have come thus far: I can now use the remote eGroupware as a resource in my calendar and can create appointments. Which is fine. But in addition I am looking for a feature that will synchronize the local calendar resource with the remote one. Am I missing something and that should happen automagically? In which case it doesn't, at least for me. I have tried kitchensync and generated a connected pair which I had hoped would work, but the app crashed on me as soon as I pressed the sync button. Multisync can only sync the addressbook... which seems easy enough without - remote contacts were downloaded and added automagically and I can easily choose store in... anyway. I would appreciate any hints as to where I am going wrong. Thanks, Ralph -- For contact details, please see www.ralphholz.de. pgpvMXvY484NY.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] OT DirectPush email and Windows Mobile 5...
I apologise in advance for this question being tenuously related to Gentoo... My justification is only that I really like my Gentoo-based Postfix /dovecot mail-server... but I also want to push emails to a connected Windows Mobile 5 PDA/phone. Historically mobile devices have polled for email - which kind-of worked... but was far from ideal as it introduced unnecessary delays if the poll-interval was too long - and killed battery life if the poll interval is too short (as well as running up bandwidth bills). Windows Mobile 5 touts a new Direct Push technology - which, as far as I can tell, is an Internet-based protocol which alerts the mobile device to establish a tcp connection and then listen on it waiting for a new message. I understand that push-email in the past was synchronised using SMS messages to force a poll - but that (expensive) option is now considered deprecated. The problem I have with Direct Push is that documentation is extremely scarce; frequently contradictory - and, it seems, always Microsoft centric and assuming closed-shop IT. The sales pitch from phone/network providers seems usually to be We envision all of our potential customers already have Microsoft Exchange, and can apply the 'Direct Push' option pack. - which is bizarre and infuriating... Is there a way to do Direct Push with Gentoo? While I'm aware of the standard techniques to interact from traditional email client hosts, email access from PDAs introduces the additional complexity of managing battery life on the mobile device. I'd like to use the supplied Windows Mobile 5 software on the mobile device is there an open source alternative to avoid me having to switch to Exchange for my mailserver? Do other Gentooists use push-email to a mobile device? Is the best option to plumb for more proprietary client-side software such as ChatterMail [ http://www.chatteremail.com/ ] ? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] User services best practice?
While system-level services are typically managed by /etc/init.d/* in Gentoo, these are maintained by root for all users. I'm interested in an end-user without root access who wants to 'run a service-like process' (for example, fectmail to poll remote accounts...) While an end user can easily run a daemon process or kill one, this doesn't persist across a reboot. I've tried using fcron to schedule user processes to re-start after a re-boot... but this feels like a hack. Is there a standard Gentoo way to solve this (I presume common) task? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you look at the configure script you will see that it's is testing if you

your problem. Line 153 which appears to be failing is this:
echo ARCH=${TARGET_ARCH/i?86/i386} make_include
which is supposed to substitute i686 with i386 in your case and store it in
make_include as ARCH=i386. I have no clue why that would fail. The only
thing that I can think of is to remerge your shell (probably
app-shells/bash). If noone else has a clue and that doesn't help I guess your
best option is to file a bug with the info you've posted now...
Thanks for your help, and while it might not have been obvious to you
(or anyone else reading along)... everything that was confusing before
is clear now... to me at least. While I can see what is wrong, it isn't
100% clear if it constitutes a bug or not.
The problem is that the configure script starts '#!/bin/sh' - but goes
on to depend upon Bash specific features... specifically substitution.
I expect this would not be a problem for most users where /bin/sh is a
sym-link to /bin/bash but, for me, /bin/sh was a sym-link to
/bin/ash... and, for that shell, line 151 is invalid. What is less
clear is whether or not, in a Gentoo context, it is 'correct' to have
/bin/sh being Borne-like but not Bash-like. By preference I'd prefer
/bin/sh to be the minimal shell that will execute Borne-shell scripts...
but I recognise the Linux-world normality of /bin/sh actually being bash.
As at-least a temporary fix I replaced my /bin/sh-/bin/ash with a
/bin/sh-/bin/bash... and everything now emerges smoothly... From a
prissy perspective I'd have hoped that the configure script would
specify that it needed bash functionality by demanding evaluation by
bash instead of whatever /bin/sh happens to be...
Thanks again,
Steve

[gentoo-user] IMAP servers
This is not so much a problem as an 'I wonder'... I currently use dovecot imap with maildir to support several dozen folders containing several gigabytes of mail using Thunderbird as a mail client. This works - but I am surprised by the number of imap processes that the mail server is running to support a single Thunderbird client... it appears that there is one connection per folder and one process per connection... which seems (to me at least) to be overkill. I'm aware that there are lots of IMAP clients I might have chosen - Courier; UWImap, Cyrus and dovecot... but I'm finding it difficult to establish details which would help me choose the most appropriate server for my purposes. In order of importance, I'm interested in: 1. Stability and reliability. 2. Scalability to handle a very large number of 'folders' for a relatively small number of end-users. 3. Performance (primarily with respect to 'new mail' notifications, but also, to a lesser extent, with searching archived messages.

While this seems a very basic topic, I can find surprisingly little documentation about this on-line. I need to address several entirely different kinds of backup: 1. A backup of my root boot partitions in a working state. This should be a backup to DVD-RW(s) - and would not contain any user-data... but would provide a recovery point to get a working server as quickly as possible in the event of a drive failure. It would be fantastic if, in addition to this. there were some means to track which packages had been merged/updated since the backup was made - and a copy to be made of any configuration changes... The list of updated packages (and the versions to which they've been updated) and any changes to configuration files would be tiny and hence easy to backup via another approach. It would be fantastic if the backup DVDs were bootable and doing so would restore the backup. 2. I've many gigabytes of MP3 files stored in Artist/[year]Album/*.* hierarchy... which I extend sporadically. I'd like a backup of this (as organising it took lots of time) but a different approach is necessary here... I'd like to pack as many whole albums onto DVDRs as would fit, which I'd then number, and given a list detailing which albums are on which DVDs, I could also play albums from a DVD player attached to a hi-fi. I'd like to be prompted to backup each time N-Mb of new data has been added to my MP3 directory - and that the most recent DVD-R should be authored with minimum user intervention. 3. My home directory; subversion repositories and DBMS catalogues are backed-up to a remote account. I currently do this with a cron-job which takes dumps; creates tar files; AES encrypts then uploads using SSH to the remote site... which manages a history of 3 backups using a simple shell-script. This works OK, but it is very ad-hoc... and it won't scale as every backup requires that I upload a new copy - even if I've only made a trivial change to my data. It would be far better if an incremental update were possible - though I'm not willing to give up encryption of data I send off-site. Are there any packages which would make any (or all) of these tasks more straightforward or more efficient? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] emerge tinyca fails...
After getting into a real pickle with a kernel upgrade (causing me to corrupt my /dev) I opted to re-install from the latest minimal install CD rather than try to unpick the mess. My gentoo box is used almost exclusively used remotely as a mail/web server - however I find tinyca a very useful tool which I use occasionally (remotely over SSH/X11) - tinyca is the only GUI application I need to install. In the past I've run emerge tinyca and all the dependencies were sorted out for me... However, with the latest portage, and only apache/zope/postfix/dovecot/openssh installed from it, when I emerge tinyca, gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.2 is identified as a dependency - and this does not compile (error messages below.) As far as I am aware, I've set no USE flags that should affect this package...

Re: [gentoo-user] Does USB devices share bandwidth?
Hi,If there are only two ports on the card, there is almost certainly a single hub controller on the card, so they would share the available bandwidth.

It probably depends on the hardware if it provides controller for each port or not. I think mostly it's two ports per controller, but dunno how to determine it... From lspci, and lsusb I would think that in my case (nforce4ultra) it's only one controller, but to share 10 ports ? Nonsense.

[gentoo-user] Spamassassin
I have (the latest) spamassassin 3.1.0 (on Perl 5.8.7) installed on my not-extremely-powerful small-scale Gentoo server (P2-450 with 256Mb RAM and 500Mb swap - not running X) and I'm experiencing a recurring fault... I'm running spamd and using the spamassassin client to re-direct email to it from my systemwide procmail setup (using the recommended | /usr/bin/spamc -f approach with a size limiter to avoid over-burdening spamassassin with any massive emails.) Everything seems to work well for a fair while, then the spamd process gets wedged - and in spite of there being a near-0 load, and dozens and dozens of messages reported by mailq, none of my mail gets processed in a hurry - and after a long while (maybe every half-an-hour, say) an email is delivered from the head of my mail queue - which has not passed through spamd (according to the headers) - and has no spam-score attached. I read some suggestions a long while ago which said that --round-robin as an option was a work-around for a bug with the same consequences. My /etc/conf.d/spamd currently has the options: SPAMD_OPTS=-m 5 -c -H -l --round-robin However, I still get this problem. I thought that it was related to the length of time the spamd process had been running - so I set a cron job to re-start the server at an unusual time early every morning... but this hasn't been an successful work around either. It now seems that to be triggered by an increased system load - today I ran # emerge apache squirrelmail then left... when I returned the emerge had long-since completed by my spamd remained stuck. Is this a problem everyone is having? I had no problem like this with the elder (3.0.4) version of spamassassin I had installed previously on the same hardware. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maybe if you took `set daemon 60' out of .fetchmailrc and ran it from cron? Thanks for the suggestion, but the reason I've avoided the cron approach is that I've two objectives: 1. To minimise latency in delivery of messages as far as is practical (without placing stupid demands on the resources of the POP3 servers) 2. To cope with very large emails (several MB) which may be present at any POP account and must be downloaded over a potentially extremely congested relatively low-bandwidth link. The advantage of daemon mode here is that I neither end up with a huge polling delay nor any risk of a collision where two processes attempt to access the same POP account at the same time (which I'd expect to cause aggravation.) I've used fetchmail for several years too - and this is the first time I've been sure it's let me down... I was wondering if it was a known (obscure) bug with the latest version... maybe, for example, one that only arises in the context of a TCP error or, maybe, a remote server failing mid-transaction?

Running from cron will not cause the later, since fetchmail will not run with an instance already running. Ah, ha - I hadn't realised... sounds reasonable to me. But... I suppose this would mean I loose my minute's gap between connections and end up doing a fixed delay between connection initiations... I suppose that wouldn't be the end of the world... if it meant I eliminated the potential for locking-up... but I'm now wary that if one invocation blocks (as seems to have happened to my fetchmail daemon) then this would block successive cron invoked fetchmail processes too... I can give it a try but, as I don't know how to reproduce the fault, I won't be able to test the idea in any meaningful way. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Postfix Install
Hi, Iam new to gentoo. A friends uses it and suggested I get it a try. I am very new to gentoo so any help or pointers towards doc would be great. I have tried to install postfix with emerge postfix and get the following error. Calculating dependencies ...done! !!! Error: the mail-mta/ssmtp package conflicts with another package. !!!both can't be installed on the same system together. !!!Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers. with emerge --pretend postfix I get the following These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] mail-mta/ssmtp (is blocking mail-mta/postfix-2.2.5) [ebuild N] dev-libs/libpcre-6.3 [ebuild N] mail-mta/postfix-2.2.5 So does this mean I have to install dev-libs/libpcre-6.3?

Re: [gentoo-user] Arrghh,,, X.org and NVidia (partly solved)
Try to execute the command # NVmakedevices.sh before starting X it works for me,cause the ebuild did not make the files in /dev. Bert Berrevoets I've always had agp compiled into the kernel and never had a problem with the nvidia driver. I don't know how much you've done, but have you made sure that the system is set for nvidia opengl? I think if it weren't it might explain why it's not saying no screens found with the nvidia driver, but glx isn't working. eselect opengl list - is nvidia the one with the * by it?

But it's not bad. I got the nvidia kernel to work and that's a major step forward. However, AGPGART was not compiled as a module but compiled directly into the kernel which means NvAGP cannot be used, so now I'm recompiling the kernel with AGPGART as a module and I've added Option NvAgp 3 to /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... and then I'll have to do the nvidia-kernel dance again and if that doesn't do anything I'll come screaming again ;) But at least the nvidia-kernel _does_ work :) -Kristian Poul Herkild -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Steven Susbauer -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
