Sid S r03...@gmail.com writes: your distribution probably comes with policies for everything you want to install, anyway... ...until it doesn't, and then what? I attempted a full conversion a few months back, and was ready to make some commitment to getting SELinux to work on my personal laptop.

I had written a couple of scrappy policies to authorize a few small one-off violations, with the help of audit2allow, but the firehose was still gushing. I use offlineimap for fetching mail, which doesn't have a policy. Now, if I ever wanted to switch from Permissive to Enforcing, I was required, as an absolute SELinux n00b, to write a full policy for a non-trivial mail application. This is when I turned around. I could have half-assed it with audit2allow, but security-wise that's a cop-out. Inevitably, there will always be some program I want to use with no existing policy, and I'll constantly have this problem. I realized that my personal workstation is a place I like to try lots of software (don't we all like that about Linux?), and SELinux can be a big wet blanket on the fun at any time. I'd like to find a middle ground, and it might be Targeted mode (I was attempting Strict). Or, it might be a different system like AppArmor. -- Erik Mackdanz

[gentoo-user] kernel 3.2.x has problems with NetGear WNDA3100 wireless USB dongle
Hi, I have come across a strange problem ... I use a NetGear WNDA3100 USB wireless dongle which is using the kernel module carl9170 as driver. It is working fine for a little while, some minutes, then it stops receiving/transmitting anything at all. If I unplug and insert it again it works fine a couple of minutes before it stops receiving/transmitting anything again. The LED is stuck on pink but not flashing blue/pink as it usually do when receiving/transmitting data. This is when using a 3.2.x version of gentoo-sources, if I use 3.1.10 of gentoo-sources it is working fine for hours but sometimes shuts down totally and the LED is off and only comes alive again if I unplug and insert it.

(Vesa does not include 2D/3D acceleration, obviously, but it should at least give you correct results for an ordinary console.) The open-source 'nv' driver has been replaced by the open-source 'nouveau' driver, which is still very much a work in progress. I'm using it just to experiment -- I don't need 2D/3D acceleration, but maybe you do. If so, you need to use nvidia's proprietary 'nvidia' driver because it's the only choice you have at present. Now I finally have 'nouveau' sort of working. The hardest part so far was probably learning the spelling of it.

Hi Erik, It would help if you actually told us which driver you are using, and what the actual hardware is.

[gentoo-user] (II) NV(0): Setting screen physical size to 508 x 317
The problem is this line in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (II) NV(0): Setting screen physical size to 508 x 317 I have measured the screen and it is actually (approximately) 368 × 230. This error causes fonts to be shown in the wrong size (too small). I think that the fonts became smaller after some upgrade during the last few months. I do not know if it was correct before that or if it was just wrong in a different way. I tried to tell it the correct values in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section Monitor Identifier Monitor DisplaySize 368 230 EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen Monitor Monitor EndSection It is read without problems: (==) Using config file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf (==) No Layout section. Using the first Screen section. (**) |--Screen Screen (0) (**) | |--Monitor Monitor But then it sets the wrong physical size anyway! Is there anything to do besides reporting a bug and waiting? (There are other issues with this video device; it shows only 25 × 80 characters in the virtual terminals (should be 75 × 240). This is the new Dell vostro|1720 from November, that replaced the old INSPIRON|8600 aquired 5 years earlier, with radeon driver. That old device worked fine without any configuration files. The physical screen size was detected and the virtual kernel output switched to 75 × 240 characters as soon as the device was detected.)

Xpdf does not even allow me to copy it as an image after selection. I can't remember what the case was with KDE 3.5.10 and kpdf - either way, is there an application or trick which would allow me to edit the pdf file in question and add comments, or cut and paste its textual content into a word file and edit it there? There's a lot of text that I need to edit and would rather not have to retype it all ... I noticed that Okular has the option Obey DRM restrictions enabled by default. I do not know why this was changed. As far as I remember, in KPDF, it was a compile-time option that was disabled default, and if it was enabled at compile time, it would appear as a normal option (like in Okular now), but be disabled by default. Just try to turn it off.

Re: [gentoo-user] New KDE4 option: night of the week for strip club attendance WTF?
Stroller skrev: The thing is that day of the week for religious observance is intuitive Probably for those who are into that kind of stuff. For others it can be disturbing. Same for strip club night. - it should default to Sunday in the west, Saturday in certain regions, and Pastafarians can select the day appropriate to their observance. The thing with secular societies/desktop environments is that they do not make assumptions about people's beliefs or religious habits. Especially not based on which region they live in. They do not treat religious activities as special compared to other social or recreational activities. The meaning of day for religious observance is quite obvious - that it applies to the common case of a recurring weekly all-day event. Consequently the strip club joke is unhelpful because one doesn't usually take the whole day off for this reason. I have read that many common religious activities also only last one or maybe up to a few hours. The reason that western people get whole Sunday off is not that they are supposed to go to church all day. (Obviously, since we also get Saturdays off.) It is simply that demanding work requires rest and recreation. I don't use KDE myself, so I'm left to wonder if it's possible to have multiple dayS of the week for religious observance No. In the west we usually have both Saturday and Sunday off from our office jobs. Are these clearly marked in a similar manner? Yes (actually it is Monday-Friday that are marked). If I agreed with my boss to work weekend technical support and have Mondays and Tuesdays off, could I change it so these are displayed as my weekend? It appears so. You could set First work day to Wednesday and Last work day to Sunday. If you literally want the 2 free days to be the weekend, you set First day of week to Wednesday. If you want to mark your special activity day, you could set Night of the week for strip club attendance to Tuesday. But if you agree with your boss to work Tuesday-Thurday and Saturaday-Sunday, you are out of luck. KDE is not designed to handle it. To allow that, there should be 2 checkboxes for each weekday; Work and Special activity. That would even work for the jews that you mentioned.
[gentoo-user] New KDE4 option: night of the week for strip club attendance WTF?
With KDE4 I suddenly have bloody sexist stuff on my desktop!!! When I configure country/region and language, there is an option for Night of the week for strip club attendance: It even seems to have a weekday selected by default! Has KDE been taken over by the sex industry? (Or was it Gentoo that sneaked it in?). It was certainly not there in KDE3 and I would never install weirdo stuff like Gnaughty, so what the hell is that option for? Will it set a special wallpaper that day? And it is not even explained in the manual! That makes it even more suspicious. The last part of the manual section says Till sist finns en kombinationsruta som heter Första dag i veckan, som låter dig välja vilken dag som är den första i veckan i ditt land. (Which means: Finally there is a combobox called First day of week, that lets you chose which day is first in the week in your country.) So there should not exist any further options after First day of week.

It would appear your locale uses a different translation! I am torn as whether to find this funny or improper. Only when I know what it's supposed to say I really like the joke that both are equally important. Why indeed give religious observance a higher priority?!?! I have encountered arguments like this: Yes, there's a setting for that in the country/region settings module but if you're not interested in it, it won't bother you. If you are, you can have kontact or the calendar plasmoid show those days as special. That's it. Sounds unproblematic to me. My point is of course that in my desktop environment, I do not want an option for either strip club attendance, religious observance, or anything else that someone else might want to do once a week. I would prefer to keep the desktop environment neutral (secular) by default. If there is indeed a need for such an option to make sundays red in the calendar, it would be more proper to call it sometning more neutral, like Weekly holiday, Ceremonial weekday or Special weekday. The user can then let that mean lap dance, prayer, family dinner, hiking, hacking or whatever he may be interested in. Yes, I know that holiday sounds like holy day, but it still feels broader than relious observance. According to wikipedia, a holiday can mean among other things official or unofficial observances of religious, national, or cultural significance. So the phrase Weekly holiday covers the current meaning of the KDE option, but is meaningful even to secular people. Therefore changing the phrase would make KDE usage more acceptable in secular countries and by secular people.

Looks infinitely more useful than most suggestions that I got so far.
Re: [gentoo-user] program to solve assignment problem?
Alan McKinnon skrev: That's because you worded your question like a dumbass user asking someone else to do their homework for him. I did not mention anything related to homework or that I would still be a student or anything like that. It was just a standard question of knowing which Gentoo package is best suited for a particular task. (Maybe the problem is offtopic until the user got so far that he knows which package he should be using.) Maybe next month I will ask which program I should use to solve the stable marriage problem so you can have your fun again.
[gentoo-user] program to solve assignment problem?
Is there some simple little program to solve assignment problems? Suppose that someone bought k meat (160), m fish (30) and n milk (15) for 700. So it should solve the equation k * 160 + m * 30 + n * 15 = 700. (A solution happens to be k = 4, m = 2, n = 0. An additional condition could be that he bought at most 6 items; k + m + n = 6. That would eliminate solutions like k = 4, m = 0, n = 4.)

[gentoo-user] connecting phone (sonyericsson c702) as mass storage device: one works, not the other
I have a strange problem when trying to connect a telephone (SonyEricsspm C702) as a mass storage device.I have 2 such telephones, let us call them Black and Green. I could always connect Black. KDE showed that it had detected the device and offered to open system:/media/sdb1 (the memory card) and system:/media/sda1 (the builtin memory). But with Green, I never get any popup in KDE. On a work computer (with Microsoft Windows XP), the telephones behave identically; they work. I use Linux 2.6.30-gentoo-r6. I attach some output from /var/log/messages for the 2 telephones: Sep 18 12:13:14 tor usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Sep 18 12:13:15 tor usb 4-1: configuration #2 chosen from 1 choice Sep 18 12:13:15 tor scsi9 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Sep 18 12:13:15 tor usb-storage: device found at 11 Sep 18 12:13:15 tor usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Sep 18 12:13:20 tor scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access Sony Eri Memory Stick 0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Sep 18 12:13:20 tor sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 Sep 18 12:13:20 tor scsi 9:0:0:1: Direct-Access Sony Eri Memory Stick 0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Sep 18 12:13:20 tor sd 9:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0 Sep 18 12:13:20 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk Sep 18 12:13:20 tor usb-storage: device scan complete Sep 18 12:13:20 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] 368401 512-byte hardware sectors: (188 MB/179 MiB) Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] 7815169 512-byte hardware sectors: (4.00 GB/3.72 GiB) Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sda:4sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sdb: sda1 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sdb1 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Unhandled sense code Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Sense Key : 0x3 [current] Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] ASC=0x14 ASCQ=0x0 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 368400 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 368400 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Unhandled sense code Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x3 [current] Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] ASC=0x14 ASCQ=0x0 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 7815168 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 7815168 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Unhandled sense code Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Sense Key : 0x3 [current] Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] ASC=0x14 ASCQ=0x0 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 368400 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 368400 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x0 [current] Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Unhandled sense code Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x3 [current] Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] ASC=0x14 ASCQ=0x0 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 7815168 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 7815168 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Sense Key : 0x0 [current] Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Unhandled sense code Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Sense Key : 0x3 [current] Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] ASC=0x14 ASCQ=0x0 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 368400 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 368400 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Unhandled sense code Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x3 [current] Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:1: [sdb] ASC=0x14 ASCQ=0x0 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 7815168 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 7815168 Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0: [sda] Unhandled sense code Sep 18 12:13:27 tor sd 9:0:0:0:

If there's a problem somewhere in your X server and the disply manager constantly dies and tries to restart, that can get annoying. It's not in slim because it shouldn't really be default behaviour. Might not be bad to provide an conf file option for this behavior, though. You can try Qingy as an alternative for using an xdm: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Fix_The_Login_Security_Hole Which unfortunately involves having to set up the framebuffer, in addition starting an xdm preloads X (starting X takes only a few seconds, but still) .

I think it is a big security issue if a normal user could start arbitrary daemons with root privileges. So you should file a bug at It doesn't give anyone root privileges, it only sets wrong variables. I think only root should be able to execute start-stop-daemon and the user should be changed with the proper command line switches. I actually don't know if it is --chuid or --user as this has changed between old baselayout and new openrc. Why's that? Running a program with user privileges is no security problem at all. -Erik -- hackerkey://v4sw5hw2ln3pr5ck0ma2u7LwXm4l7Gi2e2t4b7Ken4/7a16s0r1p-5.62/-6.56g5OR
[gentoo-user] start-stop-daemon sets USER=root - expected behaviour?
I'm using start-stop-daemon for making sure rc.wmii runs only once (If you don't know wmii's way of handling configs: it doesn't matter). Although I run it as user, it sets USER=root and HOME=/root. Is this behaviour expected or should I file a bug? -Erik -- hackerkey://v4sw5hw2ln3pr5ck0ma2u7LwXm4l7Gi2e2t4b7Ken4/7a16s0r1p-5.62/-6.56g5OR

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo-compatible wifi GUI?

I've only used WEP so far, not wpa-supplicant, but I supposed I'd better get the latter set up. So in light of that inexperience, please forgive me if this is a dumb question, but are there any GUI wifi apps that sit in the system tray, scan and let you connect to available networks, and are also compatible with Gentoo's configuration files? Last time I used wifi under Gentoo one added the network name encryption key to /etc/conf.d/net (or /etc/conf.d/wireless) and the network scripts did the rest. Ideally, then, I'd like a GUI that scanned for networks added the details to the conf.d file. Is this a reasonable expectation? BTW: I prefer KDE, if this is relevant. Stroller. There's network-manager, it uses it's own config files, though. -- hackerkey://v4sw5hw2ln3pr5ck0ma2u7LwXm4l7Gi2e2t4b7Ken4/7a16s0r1p-5.62/-6.56g5OR

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] suggest not-net-hungry Linux
I think Suse would be suitable. AFAIK they have a updates-only policy (you might even be able to choose only to use security updates but I'm not sure - I used it only a short time) and use delta packages. -Erik -- hackerkey://v4sw5hw2ln3pr5ck0ma2u7LwXm4l7Gi2e2t4b7Ken4/7a16s0r1p-5.62/-6.56g5OR
