A lot of things are different now. I keep a gnome-terminal open at all times and it the prompt now shows [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ when I'm in my home directory instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] michael $ which I preferred. I could su - to root yesterday while the upgrades were taking place and root's prompt was the same. And then my Inbox Monitor applet is gone, so I have to click on the running evolution button every time I want to see if I have any email (which is quite often actually). Is there any way I can fix all this, or at least get my su - privileges back? Obviously the su to root issue is more important, but I know the cause of the other two issues (the change in the prompt and the loss of the mail checking tool). The change from [EMAIL PROTECTED] explicit home directory name to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~, is, I believe, a change in Bash, which only affects (afaik) the display name of the user's home directory. First of all, in Bash 3, the usage of /w and /W have been reversed; the lowercase now expands the full path display and the upper case truncates to just the cwd (current working directory). Somewhere in the revisions to Bash 2.05, the expansion of the /w and /W variables when in your /home was changed so that /home/username (or /root), which the /w variable already truncated (showing just the directory without the path to it), has been shortened from multiple characters (whose username is just one character?) to one character: ~, which is the commonly acknowledged abbreviation for /home/username. This affects the display no matter how deep you go into the user's /home directory (at least in Bash 3; I just upgraded, and I don't think Bash 2.05 -r9 did this)-- /home/username/.mozilla/firefox is now displayed as ~/.mozilla/firefox. I'm almost sure that yesterday (when I was still using Bash 2.05) it would have been /home/motub/.mozilla/firefox. But actually, I like it; I currently have my prompt split over 3 lines to prevent long cwds from destroying my prompt; this might mean I could lower that number to 2 lines, since the display of the cwd is much shorter by default. Other than that, I see no way to change it (it's a feature, not a bug), other than changing shells, which is also a possibility, of course-- but I, at least would need a better reason than that to go to the troule of learning a new shell, when I hardly know bash. -- As for the mail checker-- you must have upgraded from =GNOME 2.8.x to GNOME 2.10. The previously included mail-notification utility does not work with GNOME 2.10, and in fact should have been removed. Try mail-notification (emerge mail-notification); it's a nice email checker for the GNOME panel whose benefit is that you can set it up to check both POP mail and GMail (possibly only if you have POP download enabled), as well as other types of accounts, such as IMAP or system mail. I have also used GBiff (emerge gnubiff), which is much cuter with a Povray Tux icon, but I don't believe it checks GMail. But for general use, it's fine, and has much the same featureset as mail-notification. And of course, there's GkrellM's mail notification plugin, gDesklets may a mail checking utility, and various dockapps provide this functionality as well, if you happen to use a dock. So you just have to use a different program of your choice, rather than relying on a pre-installed tool. --- As to the inability to su to root, assuming that the user is in the wheel group-- don't I remember hearing that this is some issue with the update to 'shadow'(or pam and shadow), and something has to be fixed in /etc/login.defs oh right, it's something about the SU_WHEEL_ONLY=yes, which sounds like it means that only the wheel group should be able to su, but in fact means that only members the ROOT group (who are also members of the wheel group) can su (due to another setting in another file which also restricts the ability to su)... I read here that the solution is to change this setting to NO. But that results, as I understand it, in everybody and their little sister being able to su to root, which is not really optimal. A better proposed solution is to reset SU_WHEEL_ONLY to 'no' and also to create /etc/suauth with this single line... root:ALL EXCEPT

Therefore I suggested a quicker solution to solving the original problem (getting one program installed and proceeding with the world update), which was removing the pam dependency for that program only (you can then decide about the rest later). If one wants to remove PAM totally (which is not a bad idea, but opinions vary), there's lots of threads on the forums that provide adequate guidance, from how to remove PAM on a running system, to how to install without it in the first place. in addition to -pam in use, and you will find Gentoo a lot more pleasant. One question... why does OpenOffice *DEMAND* PAM to build from source??? The binary ebuild installs OK without PAM. There's a bug about this. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71898 and the article in the Wiki http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Remove_PAM also discusses this, as well as the similar (previous) issue with GDM, whose ebuild has been updated to make PAM an optional dependency. Myself, I use the binary OOo build anyway; I just didn't have the patience to deal with that long compile, no-pam patch or not (but I did compile OOo-ximian once with the patch, and it built, anyway. Apparently there's some delay in upstream testing and including the patch to make PAM optional.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: How to make updates take effect?
I'm realizing that some updates (emerges and etc-updates) won't take effect until a certain daemon is restarted, or perhaps until the system is rebooted. How can I be sure that I do what is necessary for updates to take effect? Is it just a matter of understanding what is being updated so I can restart daemons or reboot as necessary? Well, my experience is that is no 'silver bullet' to answer this question, because there are tens of thousands of different software programs you can run, not to mention lots of different kernel and Window manager environments that may or may not affect the chosen process(es) you are running. Some programs spawn off many child processes that have a life/mind of their own, depending on how the system is setup, threading, and the acutual code that the child process uses. There are many more possible variants, but, hopefully you start to get the picture. 'rc-update show' is a good tool to start with to see what get's started at boot time and by the default run level. Some applications may work correctly with the new version upon env-update source /etc/profile other may need a lower-level jolt to get running correctly. Others, related to the environment, such as KDE, may require killing the app or kill -HUP to get it to restart and run correctly, while others may require you to login out and log back in, if the program depends on your login processes. Others may require extensive process restarting/reinitialization to the point of a system reboot, particularly if it's kernel related or a module that does not correctly load/unload into kernel space Other apps use other obscure interfaces into the Kernel or are individually unique (discourage nowadays but not completely gone). Rebooting should be a last resort. I ususaully try the most not intrusive thing until I get it to work, with a system reboot being of last resort. Best thing to do is to test what's needed for whatever program/process is in question. Many things group together in that they a require similar action to restart/run correctly after tweaking or recompiling. Some Object Oriented code, such as JAVA, suffers from what is know as 'memory leaks' which may not affect a running system/processes for quite some time... I hope these ramblings give you some understaning that the the answer depends on lots of parameters across the space of all processes A specific question about a specific process/program/daemon can be answered with specificity... YMMV James Thanks James. What do you think is the solution? It seems like the only practical thing would be to reboot the system after any update that I'm not sure I know how to apply. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

might shed some light (and links) to things you might want to look at if Skype bothers you ;-) I have used gnomemeeting before though, and although it's a great product it had a load of dependencies which deam it in my eyes as not-worth-the-effort, seeing as I don't have gnome installed. This was actually a reason I reccomend Skype to most users who are looking for such a program as it has very few dependencies, and is easy to configure and use. It sounds like gnomemeeting does do PC to phone calls for a charge: http://www.gnomemeeting.org/index.php?rub=3pos=0faqpage=x177.html A pretend emerge has a list of 7 dependencies for me, none of which are gnome related. I don't have gnome installed, but I must have something else that pulled gnome stuff in as dependencies. I'll give this a try and let everyone know how it goes. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] [OT] PHP scripts dont need to be executable?

I just replaced my ati card, so I'm not sure what the module name is. Unsurprisingy, the module name is fglrx. Antoine, the no screens found error usually means that some section of xorg.conf is misconfigured (often the monitor section, whether that is a CRT, LCD, or television). But since the X server's screen is composed of 4 parts: - input device (mouse) - input device (keyboard) - video card - monitor the misconfiguration of any of these will result in a no screens found if there is no alternative configuration that works. The fact you get a no devices found error suggests that Mark is right and the fglrx driver isn't loaded (so the device is not on, as it were). So try that first, and if it still doesn't work or gives a different error, post your xorg.conf and maybe somebody can spot the issue (I use the fglrx drivers, but not TV-out, so I don't know anything about it).

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: emerge of netkit-rsh
Thanks for the suggestion Francesco, but I tried LDFLAGS='Wl,-z,now' emerge netkit-rsh and that didn't seem to make any difference.. and still get a buch of warnings like the following: QA Notice: /usr/bin/rcp is setXid, dynamically linked and using lazy bindings. This combination is generally discouraged. Try: CFLAGS='-Wl,-z,now' emerge netkit-rsh :-/ As a matter of interest, does anyone know how the '-z,now' option is supposed to plug the security hole associated with dynamic library linking of suid programs? I assume that the important thing is to stop someone else substituting their own libraries via something like the LD_LIBRARY_PATH envar. The manual entry for the linker seems to say that '-z,now' just causes the symbol to be resolved at load time rather than first use, but it isn't clear to me what this change in timing achieves, assuming I can get it to work..

[gentoo-user] sorta OT - honest (!) opinions on mailservers
Hi, I have just realised that we have a dedicated mail server - that means that there are no legacy apps tying us to the doze OS that is currently running it :-). Basically, if I can convince the techie (who is a linux user, though not a fanatic like me ;-)) that there are free alternatives to what we have now (he said MailDaemon, if that is a brand and not just a mail daemon...) that are more reliable and stable alternatives then I can probably convince him (to convince the boss) to change. I would like to have people's opinions on the most stable, reliable, fastest, securest, lowest maintenance mail servers in *both* open source and proprietary worlds. Basically if there is a proprietary windoze server app that is much better, I will just keep my mouth shut.

Re: [gentoo-user] Skype is awesome, what is sound daemon for?
Ralph Slooten wrote: However to answer your question as best I can. Basically all software used to phone fixed lines will have some charge or another I believe. Gnomemeeting apparently does this too (since recently) or at least I heard, but I know too little about that to make a judgement. http://www.gnomemeeting.org/index.php?rub=3pos=0faqpage=index.html#AEN21 might shed some light (and links) to things you might want to look at if Skype bothers you ;-) I have used gnomemeeting before though, and although it's a great product it had a load of dependencies which deam it in my eyes as not-worth-the-effort, seeing as I don't have gnome installed. This was actually a reason I reccomend Skype to most users who are looking for such a program as it has very few dependencies, and is easy to configure and use. You should do this: emerge -av gnomemeeting If there are too many dependencies then disable some of the use flags like this: echo net-im/gnomemeeting -ipv6 -sdl -ssl -howl -gnome /etc/portage/package.use Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] sorta OT - honest (!) opinions on mailservers
On Sun, 12 Jun 2005, Antoine wrote: I have just realised that we have a dedicated mail server - that means that there are no legacy apps tying us to the doze OS that is currently running it :-). Basically, if I can convince the techie (who is a linux user, though not a fanatic like me ;-)) that there are free alternatives to what we have now (he said MailDaemon, if that is a brand and not just a mail daemon...) that are more reliable and stable alternatives then I can probably convince him (to convince the boss) to change. I would like to have people's opinions on the most stable, reliable, fastest, securest, lowest maintenance mail servers in *both* open source and proprietary worlds.

[gentoo-user] 3 - ERRORS
1.)
After recent upgrade, I started to an error message at shutdown:
su[9116]: PAM pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry; DISPLAY
su[9116]: PAM pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry; REMOTEHOST
su[9116]: PAM pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry; XAUTHORITY
I was able to solve problem by commenting out
from /etc/security/pam_env.conf these lines:
#REMOTEHOST DEFAULT= [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#DISPLAY DEFAULT=${REMOTEHOST}:0.0
#XAUTHORITY DEFAULT= [EMAIL PROTECTED]
However, I still get an error message at shut down:
su(pam_unix)[7970]: session opened for user postgres
How to get rid of it?
