Hello, How does one make the default color (settings --schema) in a KDE terminal default to 'white on black' instead of 'linux colors'?

[gentoo-user] Automatically copy a file to a different location after package install/update
Hi all, I have accounts configured in LDAP (OpenLDAP) And a FTP-server on a different host. The FTP server succesfully authenticates against OpenLDAP, using a schema provided by the FTP server ebuild. Currently, I have to manually remember to copy the schema across when I update the ftp-server. Is there a way to set up a little script that will automatically copy the schema file to a different location after a successful install/update without having to patch the ebuild-files. (manually copying is less error-prone) Many thanks, Joost

[gentoo-user] [OT] Looking for a tool to produce 'reverse' SQL
Hi, I'm looking for a tool that given an existing (base) database schema and an 'update patch' DDL .sql script on input would produce a 'reverse' script that could be used to undo the changes done by the patch. For example: base.sql: CREATE TABLE xxx (...); patch.sql: CREATE TABLE yyy (...); ALTER TABLE xxx ADD COLUMN aaa ...; ALTER TABLE xxx CHANGE column bbb ... reverse.sql: DROP TABLE yyy; ALTER TABLE xxx DROP column aaa; ALTER TABLE xxx CHANGE column bbb get this from the original base schema The purpose of this exercise is to have a production database (MySQL) server that needs to update its schema once in a while to reflect the changes in the related application without the need to recreate the schema from scratch (and possibly losing data). The reverse.sql script could be later used to rollback the schema changes at any time, even rollback multiple patches. How do people generally solve this? I'm sure this must be a fairly common problem. Thanks. Ben __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I think the approach there is to define pkg_postinst()
in /etc/portage/cat/pkg, then that function is run after the install
phase of the ebuild.
Something like
pkg_postinst() {
cp /etc/openldap/schema/pureftpd.schema
/opt/packages/SHARED/etc/openldap/schema/pureftpd.schema
einfo "NOTE: LDAP Schema File copied."
}
in /etc/portage/env/net-ftp/pure-ftpd

When I did that, it complained about the syntax.
Apparently, from what I read through google-searches, /etc/portage/env/... is
handled by Python. And that doesn't, obviously, understand bash-syntax.
/etc/portage/bashrc is handled by Bash, which makes this possible.
The "pkg_postinst()" is for either ebuilds, or I am doing something wrong...
I am using the latest stable portage.

I'm sure this must be a fairly common problem. The tool you're looking for is called a DBA. :-) On a more serious note: I normally do the schema changes and table updates followed by updating the code on the servers. Once the code is live we're pretty much stuck with it because it often relies on the new fields or uses the new data we populated. I could revert back to the original data, but we'd lose any new data that came in after the upgrade. If your changes were minor it wouldn't be too hard to manually reverse. On the other hand anything very complicated to reverse where you'd want a tool to do it is likely going to fall into my situation where the new data isn't going to work in the old tables, the old application isn't going to like the new data or tables, and so on. We get around it by doing lots and lots of testing. I probably run through the schema and data updates five or so times depending on the complexity on the changes along with continual QA as the new application is being built in the staging environment. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] kde schema colors problem
Hello, Well maybe this (ls) schema color issue I'm seeing is related to a recent vim colors question...not sure? ON a newly installed system (2006.1) (amd-K8) the dir content listing (ls) is all white (various file types and dirs). I display only the current dir of my path as part of my prompt. When I cd into a dir, the path changes color (blue) like it should. When I ssh into another system, the kde schema color schemes are correct and consistently display on the terminal session on the (K8) system. On the (K8) system, I get this all white color (for all file types), regardless of any (KDE) color shema select. All I can do by changing the kde schema setting is go from (black on white) to (white on black), testing many of the schema choices. So I'm wondering it has to be related to a recent color problem with vim-7.0.17? Now the really confusing part for me is this errant (ls) color behavior is the same running either vim-6.4 or vim-7.0.17 on the (K8) system. So could it be related to something in the 2006.1 make.profile? From this (K8) 2006.1 install I have this symbolic link as a vestige of the installation: ls -alg /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 58 Sep 4 03:18 /etc/make.profile - ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2006.1/desktop whereas on another system I have: # ls -alg /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 48 Aug 30 17:40 /etc/make.profile - ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1 and all of my 2006.0 systems contain this sym-link: $ ls -alg /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 48 Jul 3 16:08 /etc/make.profile - ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.0 Only the (K8) system, the first of the 3 symbolic links has this (ls) shema color problem. Notice the 'desktop' portion of the first symbolic link. Sugestions as to how to fix this schema color issue on the newly installed (livedCD 2006.1) (K8) system are most welcome. Initially, I performed a networkless (kde-less) install. Since then I have emerged kde-meta and all seems fine, except this schema colors in my kde terminal sessions. Is this a bug?

If anyone else ever needs to write something similar, here is how I got it to

You can define functions as for ebuilds to have them executed in here.
For example, for one package that I wanted to apply a patch
from /etc/portage/patches, but didn't call epatch_user from its ebuild,
I put this in /etc/portage/env/cat/pkg
post_src_unpack() {

epatch_user

[gentoo-user] Konsole, Gentoo and colors
I've got a problem with the colors that are used in Gentoo stuff. I run KDE, and my terminals are generally konsoles. The colors used by portage, ls and vim always seem to have portions that are unreadable because of low contrast -- the text blends into the background. I've tried different konsole schemata, and find that different things work for different purposes, but there's no one schema that I can just leave in place and forget. I use 'light paper' for starters. The 'linux colors' scheme is good for some things, but I the darker colors don't show up well on it (blue in particular), and I pretty much avoid dark backgrounds when I can because I think they're depressing and they give me eyestrain.

Re: [gentoo-user] kde schema colors problem
On 9/5/06, James [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Well maybe this (ls) schema color issue I'm seeing is related to a recent vim colors question...not sure? Probably not. That was specific to editing perl code, and vim uses a different mechanism of coloring than ls, cp, et al. ON a newly installed system (2006.1) (amd-K8) the dir content listing (ls) is all white (various file types and dirs). I display only the current dir of my path as part of my prompt. When I cd into a dir, the path changes color (blue) like it should. Getting colors in ls output requires a couple of things to occur: 1. Aliases for ls and grep to add the --color=auto option. Of course you could do this yourself by running ls --color=auto, but it is normally aliased in your ~/.bashrc. If you are not getting colors, first check that the aliases are defined correctly by running alias. You should see: alias ls='ls --color=auto' 2. The --color option doesn't really work unless the dircolors command is used to define what colors are available. Again, this is normally done in your ~/.bashrc, which should contain the following line, in addition to the alias commands: # colors for ls, etc. eval `dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS` 3. Your TERM type must be known to dircolors. This means that whatever $TERM contains, there should be a TERM line for that in /etc/DIR_COLORS. Note that the bash prompt coloring is done in /etc/bash/bashrc, sourced by /etc/profile. You should read those to understand exactly how that part of it works. If the bash coloring works, but not ls/grep coloring, I suspect you are not using the standard .bashrc provided by /etc/skel/.bashrc. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I think DRBD is not meant for the schema OP has described, because only the active node is accessible via FS. DRBD works between the FS and block device layers. It catches the FS writes from the active node and sends them over the network. DRBD on the backup node receives those and replicates them directly to the disk driver. Thus you can't have mounted FS on the backup node. If the active node goes offline, the backup node takes over which means DRBD switches roles and the FS has to be mounted afterwards. But that might be a good solution with 2.6.30, NFS and FSCACHE. Sorry, perhaps I'm missing something, but I couldn't understand the solution you had in mind. I'm just saying that the only scenario I have some experience with is DRBD + ext3 and it won't work for load balancing. If LAMP A and LAMP B as shown on the OP's schema were connected via DRBD + a conventional FS (ext/xfs/reiser/etc.), then only one of those systems would be able to serve client requests at a given moment. -- Best regards, Daniel

Try a ps -efL and you should see a number of Mysql threads. However that is part of the problem with MyISAM. It throws a giant table lock blocking all other threads until the SQL statement is complete. Innodb uses row locks which allows the other threads to use the table. As far as moving to Innodb tables it's actually easy, but with a number of caveats. I'd lower your Apache max clients, tweak my.cnf, and runs some load tests before getting deep into Mysql. When you're ready I'd go about this way. 1. Make backups first. 2. See if you have any full text fields. Tables with full text fields will have to remain MyISAM. 3. Dump your database out to text. If it's not a huge amount of data I'd just vi it and change the ENGINE to Innodb. Then import the whole thing as a new database. If you have a lot of data, I'd dump the schema with -d edit, import schema, then dump your data with no create statements and finally import the data into the new database. 4. Point your staging code to the new database and test 5. Plan a maintenance window to do all the above and take the site offline while you reimport the data to be Innodb 6. take the RAM you gave to key_buffer and give it to innodb.

[gentoo-user] [~amd64] Anyone survive the big gnome update from this morning (July 25)?
I'm very happy that I did the gnome update on a virtual gentoo machine instead of my real machine :) The virtual gentoo is unusable at the moment because gnome is very sick indeed. I avoided the big update on my real machine when I saw that gnome-shell (I think it was) demanded the installation of systemd on my openrc-only system. Now, I've been running systemd on the virtual gentoo machine for months with no problems, so I wasn't worried about the big update on that machine. AFAICT the systemd update has nothing to do with gnome's sickness, systemd-206 seems to be working just fine on the virtual machine. The gnome desktop, however, is completely black except for one functioning gnome main-menu applet, which lets me open an xterm for potential debugging efforts. Running nautilus from the xterm prompt produces this error: GLib-GIO_ERROR: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.background' does not contain a key named 'draw-background' Trace/breakpoint trap Has anyone else tried the same update yet?

The gsettings app seems to work find and can find/change settings for varioius other apps (gnumeric, evince, etc.), but it doesn't show any schema/keys for meld.

When I warned (perhaps a bit opaquely) about the issue on palemoon's github, this was exactly the scenario I was thinking about. I got to experience that badness because I unthinkingly reused my bookmark database from Firefox when I started using palemoon. Even if the database schema is the same (and I don't know if it is), that is not sufficient for compatibility: what the code does with the data can make a difference.

To your filesystem scheme: Why do you use xfs for usr? AFAIK XFS is good at write speed but not worth the trouble when reading data and data in usr is usually written once, updated every few months and read many times a week (on rebooting Desktop PCs maybe once a day). I'd use reiserfs3.6, maybe even without notail to make it more space efficient. I'd also use ext2 on /usr/portage. These data don't need journaling. Everything's got an MD5-sum to make sure it's unchanged after a crash and you can easily resync. I found ext2 with 2k blocks to be faster than reiserfs3.6, even on read-performance. If I were you, I'd also use separate volumes for /tmp and /var/tmp (without ccache) with xfs. /home could use data=journal.

Hi, on my machine I use the Linux Colors schema for years and it works perfectly. If mark stuff it inverts the colors, i.e. grey text on black background gets black text on grey background.

Just some (maybe unrelated) pointers: *) man dircolors (gentoo uses textcolors extensively) I'm familiar with dircolors. To the best of my knowledge, there's nothing in dircolors which configures how selected text is displayed. It's simply inverted text. That is, the background color and the foreground color are switched. A little more experimenting has shown that this is what happens on my terminal with any color other than the default light gray on black. For example, if I do a ls, the files show up in various colors based on dircolors. If I select colored files, they show up in inverse. But if I select non-colored light gray text, I get black on black. If I use 'less' to display a file, there's a status line at the bottom which shows the line number, etc. in inverted text. On my terminal, it's black on black and invisible. If I highlight it with the mouse, however, it shows up as light gray on black and is visible. If I switch to another tty (CTL-ALT-F2) and log in, dircolors settings work properly. Selected text with gpm shows up as inverse, and the status line at the bottom of the 'less' windows displays properly as well. So I don't think the issue is with dircolors.

Re: [gentoo-user] mysqld invoked oom-killer
Any reason you're still using MyISAM tables? Innodb is almost as fast or much much faster than MyISAM in nearly every way these days. Can multiple processes be utilized for mysql like they are for apache2? Perhaps not since it's a database? Mysql is multithreaded and spawns a thread for each connection. Try a ps -efL and you should see a number of Mysql threads. However that is part of the problem with MyISAM. It throws a giant table lock blocking all other threads until the SQL statement is complete. Innodb uses row locks which allows the other threads to use the table. As far as moving to Innodb tables it's actually easy, but with a number of caveats. I'd lower your Apache max clients, tweak my.cnf, and runs some load tests before getting deep into Mysql. When you're ready I'd go about this way. apache MaxClients has been lowered to 50 which is a shame because I have 30+ separate images on each of my pages and that number can not be reduced. This means I may not be able to serve more than 1 full page at a time. 1. Make backups first. 2. See if you have any full text fields. Tables with full text fields will have to remain MyISAM. Many of my tables have one or more fields defined as TEXT out of laziness. Should I instead come up with an appropriate char(N) declaration for each? Can N go as high as necessary? 3. Dump your database out to text. If it's not a huge amount of data I'd just vi it and change the ENGINE to Innodb. Then import the whole thing as a new database. If you have a lot of data, I'd dump the schema with -d edit, import schema, then dump your data with no create statements and finally import the data into the new database. 4. Point your staging code to the new database and test 5. Plan a maintenance window to do all the above and take the site offline while you reimport the data to be Innodb 6. take the RAM you gave to key_buffer and give it to innodb. Storage engines do not share buffers in Mysql. OK, just leave key_buffer at the default 16M? - Grant

It's funny how different two people can perceive the same thing. One of the very reason I like Gentoo is the fact that I *don't* have to do daily, or even weekly updates. I'm rather busy with life right now and I just love how little love Gentoo requires to work, and how reliable it is.

In order to install the mate desktop I need to install the mate overlay and keyword all its packages as ~amd64. Is there a way to do it easily for the whole overlay? Yep, you just need to know the overlay name. In package.accept_keywords: */*::overlay-name ~amd64 The */* syntax means any category, any package name. The :: then specifies the repository name. If you don't know the repository name, it can often be found in path/to/overlay/profiles/repo_name. I wonder, can we get a hint of this function echo-ed at the end of every new layman install? It would make using, say, perl-experimental, far less unwieldy than without. (Apologies in advance for the noise.) I had no idea this was possible, but it seems the only way to use the overlay without making of mess of package.accept_keywords, which is what I have had when installing anything useful in the perl development area. Does this make any sense? Do all the overlays work that way, that is, kw-masking everything so you have to enable the ~arch per package? This always seemed absurd to me, as I added the overlay, I must have meant to use it... but anyway... I suppose it should be printed in red use if you know what it means, kind of thing. I can see it being a PITA if it breaks stuff in the main gentoo tree. . . . FWIW, I tried adding that incantation and emerging world, which gave no changes to my install. Then I tried: emerge -av dev-perl/Catalyst-Model-DBIC-Schema (Which created a bloated keyword file on my other machine.) This time, it only wants to unmask things perl in the gentoo tree... but --autounmask-write proposes to list every overlay dep as a comment. Ugh. Before, I'd do something like: mv /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords ~/ mkdir /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords cp package.accept_keywords /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/99_portage eix -c --only-in-overlay 0 -C dev-perl|grep '(~' |cut -d ' ' -f 2 | while read a ; do echo $a ~x86 ;done /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/00_perl emerge -auDNtv world Nothing to merge; quitting. ... Which I did. Then /me thinks, for a change. If */*::overlay-name ~amd64, then: dev-perl/*::gentoo ~amd64 should work too. Now, emerge -av dev-perl/Catalyst-Model-DBIC-Schema Gives: Total: 37 packages (34 upgrades, 3 new), Size of downloads: 5,905 kB Would you like to merge these packages?

I think that should be the recommendation for anyone who installs the perl overlay. Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems to DWIW. Thanks Michael. Very helpful to know, at least. Does anyone who may have read this far think this would be a good thing to mention from the start for a new user of an overlay, like echoed at the end of emerging layman, or adding a new overlay?

There's been a couple threads in the past year or so where people didn't update for a while and had to jump through hoops to get their system updated. I think one just did a reinstall because it was faster and easier. Another did the upgrade just as a learning experience. I seem to recall that a reinstall would have been faster. I'm not sure what was learned tho. In the past, others have had this same problem. It is recommended by long term users not to go longer than 3 or 4 months for a pretty easy upgrade path in most cases. Sometimes depending on changes, that can stretch to 6 months. That said, during some major changes, even going a couple months can cause some serious bumps in the upgrade path. It may be doable but certainly more difficult. Gentoo supports updates up to a year old. Thing is, that means Gentoo and the package manager does, it doesn't mean the packages upstream won't cause some issues or that you won't run into hard blocks that have to be handled manually. I been using Gentoo since 2003. I've read some horror stories on waiting to update for a year or more. It's no fun. Many years ago, it would be almost impossible. Dale :-) :-)

If nothing jumps out at you in the logs post the output of postconf -n and cat /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-maps.cf (minus user/passwd of course). FWIW the Gentoo Virtual How-To is very unfancy and requires you to enter all virtual domains manually into the main.cf within virtual_mailbox_domains. If you do not do this, Postfix doesn't know that the domain exists. I suggest doing something like this where it's a db call and you should never need to touch your main.cf. IIRC this will work if you added the optional mysql-transport table. virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-transport.cf I also recommend ditching the Gentoo How-to and using PostfixAdmin which is light years better in schema and administration. kashani

I hate to give the same sort of answer, but the Postfix based how-to was never very fancy. However I still believe Postfix is the easiest and best MTA to use for a virtual system. It's just that you should use PostfixAdmin as the base. Migrating from the Gentoo How-to to a PostfixAdmin based system can be painful, different db schema and other things, but having an easy to use interface to add users, domains, aliases, etc AND being able to delegate domain control to power users has been fantastic. PostfixAdmin supports vacation as well and users can manage it themselves. You can even integrate the vacation into Horde as well if you're willing to muck about in the internals. http://high5.net/postfixadmin/ However as a low tech solution you could do something like the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a real account create this in your alias table [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED],vacation Then setup a general vacation program as user vacation on the system with the proper regex stuff and tracking of addresses it's has already responded to. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

A few hours later you find some problems in how your application handles longer names. If you needed to rollback the alter table command is easy, but some of your data would now be invalid. Rather than rollback the easier fix is to update the application and hopefully the change is a single file update. I still think there are cases when you could rollback, but they'd have to be so simple that having a tool to generate the sql would be overkill. Ramin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Short: What is the best way to setup something similar to RAID 1 over a WAN? ... One purpose of the setup is to have data redundancy. Thus we have to ensure that the data is replicated in a timely manner. Replicating MySQL data is not difficult. The problem is the file system data like uploaded documents and pictures. We can monitor changes in the file system and initiate rsync to copy files over the network, but I think it's not a good solution. What we are after is a network equivalent of RAID 1. Are there any viable solutions that could work over a WAN? If replication after file is completely hit the disk is not acceptable either because files are quite large or have to be really synchronous then I'll second DRBD-with-HA-cluster-fs suggestion. DRBD is HA solution which is achieved by switching the role of the nodes in case the active node goes offline. I think DRBD is not meant for the schema OP has described, because only the active node is accessible via FS. DRBD works between the FS and block device layers. It catches the FS writes from the active node and sends them over the network. DRBD on the backup node receives those and replicates them directly to the disk driver. Thus you can't have mounted FS on the backup node. If the active node goes offline, the backup node takes over which means DRBD switches roles and the FS has to be mounted afterwards. -- Best regards, Daniel

While a UI is important; a good UI is key. And a plain text editor is, imo, a good UI; everybody knows how to use it. Why bring in another extra (translation) layer? That's only good if you always store all options - every possible combination, etc. - at all times. Unfortunately, that's almost never the case. Thus you need to be able to know how to create a good working configuration. This requires having a tool the user can use to edit the configuration, with the tool providing access to the options you otherwise would not know about that also protects you by helping to ensure the configuration is in the valid format. Of course, the tool also has to get upgraded with the changes in the program - so that it knows how to build correct configurations. This is where XML does somewhat shine for configurations - you can get by with a little less by enabling the tool to use XML validation on the configuration file; then even if your tool falls a little behind, it can still validate the configuration file against the DTD/RNG/Schema. But it also means that you MUST have a tool. Ben

[gentoo-user] Automation: Ripping DVDs to disk
Hello, I have a large DVD(movie) collection, that I want copied to hard drive(s) and a database set up about the movies. Since disc is cheap ($75/2TB) I'm not even going to fool around with conversion or compression, i.e. MPEG-2 is fine for now, unless the process can be automated (see schema below). Naturally being able to store video in different formats would be a big plus. I'm very flexible on the DB so any software package that already exists in a (gui) tool form, so that I can set it up with simple instructions for an adolescent to: load the dvd execute the script or simple procedure wait until dvd movie is stored on disk then swap out for another DVD... rinse and repeat 500+ times What software exists, or what software would be easy to script up such an endeavor? Tagging movies by rating, genre, year, etc would be a bonus. Hopefully, playing movies after this will be a gui experience; so I can turn the kids and less astute friends loose in a multimedia room where the computer is hooked to a large screen LED device. Later on audio (music) tracks will be added to the menu or system, which hopefully supports a wide range of audio files. Lots of pieces exist in software, but, I'm looking for recommendations on a complete system, that is rather straight forward to install new movies (and audio) and then play them via an easy to use interface, seemlessly. Any comments or suggestions are most welcome. James

Basically all of the GUI DVD-ripping/recoding software are just shells to run the commandline tools like transcode, ffmpeg, mencoder etc. If you find a GUI tool to do as you wish, it should be trivial to look in its logs and see exactly which commands it ran and then put that into a shell script for repeated usage. Ripping the original DVD contents is the easy part (just use vobcopy), converting it to any other format can be more tricky because you get problems like audio and video being out of sync that sometimes can't be fixed without manual tuning.

[gentoo-user] printing problems
I am trying to get printing to work properly in my recently built machine. 'hp-probe' identifies my printer as 'HP Deskjet 2510 series'. When I print a text file from Gvim or a ps file from LO, there are blank bands across the page, omitting lines or parts of letters. I have managed to get Kwrite to print properly via file -> print -> options -> layout -> schema : when set to 'normal' 'KDE' 'Vim dark', everything comes out as it should (there are some amusing color effects, but it's all there). Alongside Gentoo, I installed Mint 17.2 (Xfce), which started printing properly via Gedit + LO after I set print quality to 'high' via the 'http://localhost:631' menu (I didn't go back to test Gvim there, but assume it would work too). Gedit has its own internal print-quality menu too. I have compared /etc/hp/hplip.conf in Gentoo vs Mint : the Gentoo version of Hplip is 3.14.10 , Mint has 3.15.2 ; the Gentoo version of Cups is 2.0 , Mint has 1.7 ; the Gentoo version of Hplip was built with 'foomatic-ppd-install=no', the Mint version with '...=yes'. I can contrive to print text + ps files easily by copying them to an appropriate partition & rebooting into Mint, but Gentoo is supposed to make these things easier, not more difficult. Finally, I've never got the print icon in Gvim to work : I use the 'prtdialog' plug-in, which prints, but only badly as above.

I don't use XFS, curently I only have / and /home and I want to split it to more smaller partitions, I'm on LVM so it's easy, anyway I'm going with ReiserFS for /usr /var, would you please suggest mkfs.reiserfs options as I have nerver used ReiserFS-3 before (yep 5 years using linux and I've always used ext3...) also You didn't mention /var, would you say ReiserFS-3 is a good choice as well? I'd also use ext2 on /usr/portage. These data don't need journaling. Everything's got an MD5-sum to make sure it's unchanged after a crash and you can easily resync. I found ext2 with 2k blocks to be faster than reiserfs3.6, even on read-performance. I've already made the partition as suggested in [1] I used this command: $ mke2fs -b 1024 -N 20 -m 0 -O dir_index I guess 1K block size would be faster?? If I were you, I'd also use separate volumes for /tmp and /var/tmp (without ccache) with xfs. What did you mean by 'without ccache'? I have ccache and I use it... /home could use data=journal. Those data are precious and if I remember correctly, this setting even brings an obscure (i.e. undocumented) speed improvement with many parallel disk accesses, for example in a multi-user environment. it's done, thanks, BTW what's your home partition FS? your choice is ext3 or reiserFS?? One last thing, since I'm on LVM resizing the partition is a must feature, in ext3 I use resize2fs which works quite nicely, is resize_reiserfs as reliable as resize2fs is??

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo, MySQL, UltraMonkey Clusters
Nick Khamis wrote: I should also point out that we are interested in load balancing and high availability. Regards, Ninus. Alright there's a lot going on here so I'm going to break down the last ten years of dealing with sort of thing into three pages. :-) Stability vs Flexibility I'm a start up guy (five and counting) so I always prefer flexibility, but you need to decide based on your application. Also depends on how much money you have to build in fault tolerance, back ups, etc. You yourself as the admin also need to be disciplined in your methods. That means having actual QA processes, test/stage VMs, unit tests, and being able to enforce those processes. Gentoo allows enormous flexibility and being able to have things like glibc-2.9 immediately while RHEL4 shipped with 2.3 and RHEL5 with 2.5 means you can take advantage of incremental fixes in NPTL that is missing in stable distros. Also having gcc-4.4 is a big win on modern processors. Mysql Definitely go with Mysql 5.1 and hell if you're going to be building your own or if it's already in an overlay somewhere look at Mysql 5.4. Basically it's 5.1 plus the Google, Percona, and everyone else that has been rolling custom patches for Mysql. If you don't want to be that far out on the bleeding edge look at using Percona's build, linked below. If you want to go way way way out to the bleeding edge and can wait a year to ramp up, Drizzle is very interesting. http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-54.html http://www.percona.com/percona-lab.html http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/ http://drizzle.org/wiki/Drizzle_Features High Availability Round Robin db masters almost never works unless you've designed your schema from the ground up to work that way. If you're wondering if yours was, it wasn't. Even when you do it right it can be flakey. Easier and simpler to write to one master which then writes to a number of slaves. If you want to get fancy to you can have two round robin masters with two slave each. When a master fails you need to point to the other master as well as pull the two slaves from the broken master out or rotation. How to accomplish that is up to you, but I prefer a somewhat manual process. Swapping masters around automatically is usually a good way to end up with corrupt data somewhere. YMMV. Simple round robin VIPs should work with your Mysql slaves. Not sure if Ultramonkey does that. Connection pools usually suck and I wouldn't bother with them as modern OS threading makes it nearly pointless. Make sure your application is closing Mysql connections properly which I've had issue with far too often. Storage Engines in Mysql Sphinx Don't use myisam tables for full text searches. Hell if you have the time don't use your database for full text search, but if you do look at using the Sphinx full text engine. You'll need to build the plugin yourself. Innodb Use the innodb plugins, it's much faster Myisam Don't use. Really. xtradb Innodb fork by Percona. Looks interesting and I have tried it. Things to remember about databases Buffers are configured on a per storage engine basis. If you give 12GB to Innodb you can't also give 12GB to Sphinx... unless you have a 32GB machine. RAID 10 is your friend, but RAM is almost always better *if* your database will fit into RAM. Make sure your RAID card has battery backup, write cache on your disks is turned off, and that you actually check your RAID card's config to make sure cache is turned on an DMA or whatever is enabled. It's almost never correct out of the box. Fixing your queries, index, and schema is 10-100x more effective than dicking around with Mysql settings, custom compile, and hardware tweaks unless you've done something really moronic. mysqldump will not give consistent backups of Innodb. Use a slave, stop the slave, take a backup preferably through LVM snapshotting so it doesn't take forever, bring the slave back up and put it into rotation. Stored procedures will make your life difficult. It's easy to say code-1.3.2 is on production. It's hard to say code-1.3.2 and stored-procs-1.1.1 are on production when the push process is different, the teams are different, etc. You *can* manage it, but given a choice it buys you very little and I never meet a DBA that didn't like to tweak things directly. Hell I've meet far too many that needed to taught how to checkin code. kashani
Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo alternatives
Chrome OS is made by Google to run specifically on the Chromebooks. I don't think it is intended for general computing and there is no enthusiast community around it like around other distros. The closest cousin to Gentoo would be Funtoo. It used to be that Gentoo Portage could only use rsync, while Funtoo Portage could use git which is much faster, but since then Gentoo Portage has also gained the functionality to use git for this purpose. My biggest problem with Gentoo was not so much the time needed to compile huge ebuilds like Firefox, Thunderbird, or Chromium, but that say if you neglected doing updates for a while and then decided to start again, then you'd have serious problems. This is because, at least the way I understood it, after some time old ebuilds would get deleted from the Portage servers to conserve space there, but some of those now deleted ebuilds would still be needed as dependencies to do iterative updates. The sure-way to resolve this problem would be to re-emerge the whole @world set, which of course would take way-longer than just Firefox, and might work differently because the '/etc/' configuration schema might have changed. In my case I had some weird problem either emerging some ebuild or keeping an old version of an ebuild to keep the functionality or the '/etc/' schema removed in the new versions. I just let things sit, and moved on to other projects. But when later on I tried to go back to the original issue, I had even more trouble because now I was even further behind @world, and more ebuilds would not upgrade because of deleted dependencies. So to sum it up, my problem with Gentoo was that you could not just do iterative updates after long periods of inactivity. You pretty much had to emerge daily and if you had some problem then drop everything and fix it right away, or else you'll fall even further behind and eventually might have to rebuild @world. And so because constant attention intervention and trial and error was required you could not just compile huge ebuilds overnight and go about your life during the day. The distro I would recommend to look at now is NixOS -- it is also source-based, but if you have problems with one package that will not prevent you from keeping the rest of the system up to date. Upstream changes are pulled pretty regularly. And even though it is source-based, you download most packages pre-compiled. However if you want to you can tweak the source and re-compile locally. You can also keep multiple versions of the same package. You also do not mess directly with the '/etc/' files for individual packages, instead you specify a global configuration "recipe" in '/etc/nixos/configuration.nix', which is used to generate the package-specific '/etc/' files. This layer of abstraction improves reliability and allows easy config cloning across machines. The down-side is that NixOS has a radically-different paradigm that takes a while to wrap your head around, requires learning the Nix Expression Language (which is radically-different too), and is not yet that "mature" so theoretically things can break, but I would still recommend it over Chrome OS. -- Marat On 6/7/21 1:10 AM, n952162 wrote: I'm looking for a gentoo alternative and am surprised to see that google chrome os is based on gentoo. Does anybody have any experience with this? Do they support multi-media and basic modern desktop capabilities?

Do they push down every single upstream modification, like gentoo does, or maybe have a bit of hysteresis? I updated on May first and built firefox 78.10.*0*. 2+ days of building.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: Filesystem permissions
On Thu, 3 Jul 2008 17:40:01 +0200 Florian Philipp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi list! I'm a bit dissatisfied with the way umask and filesystem permissions work and I'd like to know if a) this is due to misunderstanding on my part and/or b) there is a clean workaround I'm unaware of. Let's say I have a system with various users working on some sensible data. Therefore I have to set up various security policies regarding file permissions and so forth. For example every $HOME-directory should be only readable to the user himself (e.g. for user phil_fl: chown phil_fl:phil:fl; umask 0077 or 0007). Then there might be a common folder for all users in a specific group as a simple way of sharing files. These shall be accessible by every user in the group but by none else, so for the user phil_fl and the group users: chown phil_fl:users; umask 0007. As we see, the umask itself isn't the problem (in this special case) but the group is it, however, there might be cases in which need to change both for special folders. How do I do this without needing any interaction from the users? Thanks in advance! Florian Philipp AFAIK it was RedHat who introduced the so called User Private Groups scheme which is convenient exactly for situations like yours. Gentoo also uses that scheme by default. In short, instead of creating all user accounts as members of the group users, now for every user account useradd(8) creates a private group for the account in addition. Peter is created with main group Peter, Ann is created with main group Ann and so on. If you wanted Peter and Ann to share a common folder, you have to create a common group for them (e.g. project) and add each of them to that group. Then create a directory with owner root:project and the GID bit on. The GID bit makes the newly created files in the directory to be owned by the group project, instead by the group of the user creating the file. P.S. This schema may be convenient for some things but as usual it also has some disadvantages for others. I have asked here about one of the disadvantages (my personal point of view) when I discovered there was a new scheme: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/190110 -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Good Library Management software
Dirk Uys wrote: Other than that there is also the added complexity to the installation. You have to create a user in the database, create the database and grant the user all the needed permission to that specific database. And what if one app prefers mySQL and another one postgreSQL? Now I need to run two database servers that will be quite capable to fill the data needs of two small businesses just because I want to use a music player and a library utility for my ~50 books laying around. I can see your point and in many ways I agree. The issue is that local data storage limits the application in larger environments. A db provides a ready made and easily understandable way for multiple machines to read and write data. Being a large IT shop person I tend to avoid anything that does not use a db since it's unlikely that I will be able to use it at a job in the future. Nothing worse than having www07 go down and take the company blog with it because we couldn't run the blog software on all ten machines because it had to use local storage. Additionally it's easier to backup one db cluster than twenty odd applications. I can recommend a few things to make dealing with a db easier. 1. Settle on Mysql, 99% of anything you'll install can use it. 2. However apps that can use more than one database backened are *always* better written, more mature, and is usually a sign that the schema has been designed rather than tossing data in tables. 3. Don't mess with my.cnf unless you really need to. Default Mysql serving settings spec about 100MB of RAM usage which should be plenty for local apps with small storage needs. 4. Spend an hour learning about how your db works and come up with a system for user accounts and database names. I always do something like this in Mysql: create database kash_gallery2; grant all privileges on kash_gallery2.* to [EMAIL PROTECTED] identified by 'mys3cr3tp2ss'; This way I know that only the kash_gallery2 user can access the kash_gallery2 db. I also know that kash_gallery2 is my Gallery install and not someone else's. I can easily add kash_gallery3 when a new version comes out and don't have to worry about how to deal with db 'gallery' which I think is the default. You'll have to change the settings in the config file of the app to reflect your changes, but that should be simple. kashani
