Re: [gentoo-user] USE=jpeg not part of hardened/linux/x86 profile
Thanks Klondike for the tips! 2012/6/27 Francisco Blas Izquierdo Riera (klondike) klond...@gentoo.org: [...] Finally regarding Gwibber and Hotot make sure you don't have the jit USE flag set, jit code and hardened match just as well as a bobcat and a pitbull in a small closed box with a lit firecracker to startle them. Worst case try choqok it works well for me. I will test disabling the jit USE flag as soon as I can access my machine (I am moving). Does anyone know the performance impact of disabling jit. Is it noticeable? Cheers, -- Jorge Martínez López jorg...@gmail.com http://www.jorgeml.net
Re: [gentoo-user] USE=jpeg not part of hardened/linux/x86 profile
Hi there! I run Hardened in my desktop and it mostly works. When I switched profiles I looked at which use flags changed using emerge -pudvN world and then I enabled them manually using ufed. With Hardened forget using Skype. PaX will kill multimedia applications such as Totem, use paxctl to solve this. I have some issues with Phython applications such as Gwibber and Hotot, the only way to solve it seems to use paxctl with the python binary, which I am not willing to.

Re: [gentoo-user] USE=jpeg not part of hardened/linux/x86 profile
Hi! 2012/6/8 Bryan Gardiner b...@khumba.net: [...] +1 for using Hardened as a desktop. Skype should work with PaX now; it used to need an exact paxctl command to get running but its ebuild now sets that. Great to know Skype works now. Back then it did not even install. I am not using Skype any more though. Is there a nice way that you can un-pax-mark Python(/etc.) through Portage, or do you have to do it manually? (And does that horribly break Portage?) Personally I'm a little concerned about the Firefox + Chromium pax-marks; one day I'll get grsec set up... No idea, I identified pywebkitgtk as the culprit of Gwibber / Hotot not running and I opened a bug for that: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405549 Those are the only two applications I recall I can't run. It would be nice if there were desktop Hardened profiles though. The only reason I maintain a full set of USE flags in make.conf is so that it is portable between hardened and regular. +1 Cheers, -- Jorge Martínez López jorg...@gmail.com http://www.jorgeml.net

Re: [gentoo-user] problem with e2fsck and the pre mount of /usr
Hi! I let Dracut mount /usr and I do not mount it again at boot. In order to do so I have added the noauto option in /etc/fstab: /dev/mapper/vg-usr /usrext4noauto,noatime 1 2 Use with caution.

Re: [gentoo-user] LVM, /usr and really really bad thoughts.
Hello! 2012/3/11 Canek Peláez Valdés can...@gmail.com: The next step was to remove /usr from /etc/fstab to prevent /usr from being mounted twice (the boot process does not like it). Mmmh. Could you try to use LABEL= in /etc/fstab (not /etc/fstab), and see if that way it gets mounted, and only once? The udev developers recommend using either UUID or LABEL; and LABEL it's easier (and prettier) to set. I actually did not remove it: /dev/mapper/vg-usr /usrext4noauto,noatime 1 2 I am afraid of what would happen if I remove noauto. As far as I recall the boot procedure aborted. The last obstacle is /etc/mtab. By the time /usr is mounted I believe / is mounted as read only, so mount cannot update /etc/mtab. The trivial solutions is to delete /etc/mtab and make it a symlink to /proc/mounts . In that case it is always up to date. I think the link is to /proc/self/mounts; /proc/mounts it's a link to it, actually. You are right.

I had some struggle with a separate /usr on top of LVM I'm just curious why you use a separate /usr, and why you are willing to struggle to keep it that way. Several people have posted opinions here in recent months, but I don't recall that you are one of them. I believe that by the time I installed Gentoo it was recommended on the installation handbook. I did not give it much thought. I believed back then that thanks to LVM I could always grow and shrink my partitions as needed. If I had to do it again I would probably go the btrfs route (once they get fsck working). Regarding the whole /usr discussion, I trust the developers to know what they are doing better than I do and I did not find any serious flaw on their reasoning. It took me just a couple of hours to get the initrd working, so I did it and moved on. On the other hand I can understand some people disagree. I do not have a problem with that.

Re: [gentoo-user] LVM, /usr and really really bad thoughts.
Hi! I had some struggle with a separate /usr on top of LVM and the dracut thing. I noticed that udev was complaining at boot that it could not find some scripts. The usmount dracut module did not work for me because it could not find /usr. So what I did was to include the fstab-sys smodule in dracut: /etc/dracut.conf # Dracut modules to omit omit_dracutmodules+=usrmount # Dracut modules to add to the default add_dracutmodules+=fstab-sys Then I created /etc/fstab.sys with just the /usr partition /dev/disk/by-uuid/90d82b02-e6c2-4011-940e-783d12b0c4fe /usr ext4noatime 1 2 Dracut could only find the partition by using the uuid (use blkid to find it easily). The next step was to remove /usr from /etc/fstab to prevent /usr from being mounted twice (the boot process does not like it). The last obstacle is /etc/mtab. By the time /usr is mounted I believe / is mounted as read only, so mount cannot update /etc/mtab. The trivial solutions is to delete /etc/mtab and make it a symlink to /proc/mounts . In that case it is always up to date. Of course, YMMV. Be careful when changing things that can prevent your machine from booting and make sure you have a live CD at hand.

Re: [gentoo-user] MySQL MariaDB - is it time?
2012/3/2 Matthew Finkel matthew.fin...@gmail.com: It's definitely an interesting dilemma, but one that was expected to happen eventually. Lucky Gentoo doesn't have to worry about release cycles. MariaDB is in portage so, in theory, it shouldn't be too difficult for any of us to make the switch. Seeing how successful is Oracle managing a free software community (OpenSolaris, OpenOffice.org, Harmony) I made the switch yesterday with zero issues: keyworded =dev-db/mariadb-5.2 (make sure you install the same minor version as you have with MySQL). emerge -aC mysql emerge mariabd And that's it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: blank consoles after X starts
Hello! 2008/7/27 Nikos Chantziaras [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [...] I was always getting that one too, but other than this message, it was working. I switched from uvesafb to vesafb at some point (to have the boot splash enabled right at boot without any delay). If you're on x86 or AMD64 you might want to try that one (compile in-kernel, not as module). I installed the klibc and v86d versions mentioned in the bug report and it seems to work again. uvesafb was working perfectly for me, without any delays at boot. It has been included in the mainline kernel and it seems to be The Way to Go (TM). Greetings! -- Jorge Martínez López [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jorgeml.net
