[gentoo-user] Screen settings
Hi, I am a newbie to gentoo enviorment. My system got restarted due to power failiure without getting shutdown properly... Now after rebooting my system, when i do startx to move to KDE the screen appers to be in resolution mode of 640 x 480 instead of 1024 x 768. So my question is how can i change the screen resolution back to 1024 x 768. Herewith attached is a copy on my xorg.conf file .. Thanx to u in advance for helping me through with it Thnx Warm Regards Rajat xorg.conf Description: Binary data
Re: [gentoo-user] Screen settings
Your xorg.conf file looks fine, but you don't have anything lower than 1024x768 specified in your configuration as indicated below. You may have to recreate a new xorg.conf file with the correct monitor and driver settings. I did mine manually a long long time ago, but I think you can use xorgconfig to detect most of your settings for you...if so...hopefully that will fix you up.

Yes, I don't really use any other shells. And just to make sure typing echo $SHELL returns the expected /bin/bash. But it turns out to be something of a false alarm. I went on about my business and in the course of things have closed several xterms and later opened new ones.

You're only peering with one machine which generally doesn't work so well. You're probably better off just using ntpdate periodically if you are only going to sample one server. Also, the delay on the server you are polling is over 200 ms. I'm not sure where ntp3.usv.ro is located but it is over 260ms for me too. With this high network delay, slight network jitter can make your clock think it is way off. Your machine thinks it is 7.3 ms off.

[gentoo-user] [OT] traffic shaping
Hi folks, I am struggling with traffic shaping. I have ironed out most rough things but are stuck with one remaining issue.

You have a few alternatives: 1) Change server to servers. Then, ntpd will use all the IPs associated with the domain name. As part of the process of syncing it will invalidate peers that have long or volatile round-trip times. It will, however, try to connect to 100s (IIRC) of IPs initially. 2) Use: server 0.pool.ntp.org server 1.pool.ntp.org server 2.pool.ntp.org In this case, the daemon will only use the first address from each domain name. n.pool.ntp.org (for n = 0-9, IIRC) resolves to the same addresses as pool.ntp.org, but the primary address you get back is different each time. (I believe the n. prefix is an attempt to prevent local caching, which would be a problem if you just repeated your server line 3 times.) You'll get better times syncing off multiple servers because the daemon can use some statistics to remove some of the network latency issues. However, you could still get a bad draw and get 3 servers far away from you. 3) Follow this comment from *your* .conf file: # A good way to get servers for your machine is: # netselect -s 3 pool.ntp.org netselect is available from portage, and I think it's generally installed during your gentoo install as a dependency of mirrorselect. In any case, you can use it to find 3 (or however many you want to use) servers close to you. Unfortunately, with this method, if better peers are added to the pool, the network topology changes, or anything else to invalidate the quality of the peers you pick, ntpd won't be able to automagically pick better ones. Also, for any of these options, you should note the geographic sub-pools that are available. I use us.pool.ntp.org. For (1) this will reduce the number of IPs initially connected to, for (2) it will increase the chance that you don't get a bad draw (because, generally, geographically closer is closer on the network), for (3) ... Well, actually for 3 you might as well pick the best ones from the entire pool. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If I ssh into the system remotely, it's fine, it's the kde login sequence that's hung. quickly running 'top' I find the culprit: krdb. I can kill it off and the sequence completes and the system is fine. But 'eix xrdb' reveals: x11-apps/xrdb Available versions: [M]1.0.1 Installed: none If it's not installed how can it be running (hung)?

Does not seem to me to be the best solution, though: if a package is masked, many users won't install it, so what's the absence of bug report indicating? I hate how emerge / portage calls a missing keyword masked. It's really not the same thing as being in package.mask (so called hard-masked). In package.mask there is something decidedly broken, be it compatibility or otherwise. But, there's often nothing wrong with testing besides being new. ~ARCH is testing, ARCH is stable. It's like debian's stable/testing/unstable braches, but more fluid. On gentoo, packages are generally moved from testing to stable individually, with batch moves reserved for suites (like KDE or Gnome) or packages with migration issues. We have a number of users just on this mailing list that run testing systems all day long. We encounter more bugs than stable users, but that's alright because we /want/ to test things, and have no fear of submitting a bug. Now, if you want to fire off automated 'emerge -u world's every night, I'd suggest staying away from testing. So far, the system has mostly worked. I *would* like to see some changes, but mainly due to the fact that ~ARCH and package.mask are used for two purposes right now. See rant below. In my case, the funny thing is: DVDRIP is not masked and does not work. Acidrip is masked and works like a charm. Is the DVD:Rip ebuild doing something incorrectly, or is it just a poor package from upstream? In the former case, please file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org. In the latter, a bug can be filed, but it's more likely to get attention in upstream rather than at bugs.gentoo.org. I'm not sure /exactly/ what you want from your ripping program, but I'd check out ANDREW (ANDREW's Not a DVD Ripping and Encoding Wizard) from the FSF. Sooner or later I'm gonna write an ebuild for that sucka. (Only my rant and .sig follow, so no need to scroll if you don't want my opinion.) rant Right now, we see package.mask, -*, and sometimes even ~ARCH being used to indicate instability from upstream. For example, the gcc-4.1 ebuilds work perfectly, yet are marked -*. As another example, there was a bit of time when the KDE 3.5_beta2 ebuilds worked fine (and were ~ARCH) but they were package.mask'ed. From what I understand this is incorrect. package.mask, -*, and the ~ARCH (and occasionally, -ARCH) keywords are supposed to indicate the /ebuild/'s stability, not the upstream stability. The problem is, we can't simply drop the practice of package.mask or -*'ing things like gcc-4.1 or beta versions of a DE that a good number of gentoo users work with everyday. Too many systems would break if such ebuilds were marked STABLE with no indication that *you are installing software that might not work*. What's really needed is a separate field indicating upstream classification, something similar to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS but indicating not the stability / behavior of the ebuild, but of the package from upstream. This would help both users (they can choose the test ebuilds, upstream, or both) and developers (they don't have to ever think Was upstream broken or was the ebuild? when they see a *-). We could also do away with the perpetually masked cvs / - versions. It would be something like ACCEPT_UPSTREAM=BETA in make.conf where you might also have HEAD, SNAPSHOT, ALPHA, RELEASE_CANDIDATE, RELEASE, BUG_FIX, SECURITY_FIX instead of BETA; Also there would either be special logic for HEAD or an additional flag in the ebuild for always upgrade, even to same version, but I suppose that's a different matter. Of course, this would require significant work, and may not even be something the gentoo developers would be interested in. (The existing system seems to work OK, even if it's not ideal.) But, that's my two cents, hopefully I won't feel the need to bore the entire mailing list with this again for a while.

just by editing /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0:
xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -fg green -bg black -daemon -notify -verbose
-fn fixed -exitOnFail
I hope this helps someone (besides me of course ;-).
Thanks for your responses which got me thinking.

[gentoo-user] TARPIT iptables target
Hi, I was reading about the TARPIT target in the man iptables documentation, and thought I'd like to give it a try. Unfortunately though, it seems not to be supported in the 2.6.15-1 Gentoo kernel. Has anyone used the TARPIT target, or know of a way to get it into the current kernel? Any experience with this target or 'gotchas' about it? Cheers, Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] iptables script tips for ppp0
Hi All,
Thanks to Daniel Robbins and his articles I've got the following basic
script working on one of my boxes:
#(connection to the Internet)
UPLINK=eth0
#if you're a router (and thus should forward IP packets between interfaces),
#you want ROUTER=yes; otherwise, ROUTER=no
ROUTER=no
#change this next line to the static IP of your uplink interface for static
SNAT, or
#dynamic if you have a dynamic IP. If you don't need any NAT, set NAT to
to
#disable it.
NAT=
#change this next line so it lists all your network interfaces, including lo
INTERFACES=lo eth0 ppp0
if [ $1 = start ]
then
echo Starting firewall...
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i ! ${UPLINK} -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i ${UPLINK} -j DROP
#for testing use: REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -i ${UPLINK} -j DROP
#for testing use: REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
# #explicitly disable ECN
# if [ -e /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn ]
# then
# echo 0 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn
# fi
# #disable spoofing on all interfaces
# for x in ${INTERFACES}
# do
# echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/${x}/rp_filter
# done
if [ $ROUTER = yes ]
then
#we're a router of some kind, enable IP forwarding
echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
if [ $NAT = dynamic ]
then
#dynamic IP address, use masquerading
echo Enabling masquerading (dynamic ip)...
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ${UPLINK} -j
MASQUERADE
elif [ $NAT != ]
then
#static IP, use SNAT
echo Enabling SNAT (static ip)...
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ${UPLINK} -j SNAT
--to ${UPIP}
fi
fi
elif [ $1 = stop ]
then
echo Stopping firewall...
iptables -F INPUT
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
#turn off NAT/masquerading, if any
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
fi
nmap shows me that it works okay, but of course that's only on eth0, which
is the only NIC on this box and connects to an ADSL hardware router.
No matter what I tried I have not managed to make the script work for the
ppp0 interface. Am I supposed to duplicate all the iptables lines and
define ppp0 instead of eth0? Is there a clever modification I could used
on the above script to get the same result?
On a different but broadly relevant topic - are there any specific sysctl
and iptables settings I need to get google talk/gaim/kopete working?

not only that, but this error has been there for many months, no matter what version of glibc you use.

Oh also, not directly related to your question, but it sounds like you might be better off using something like USE=-* userprofiles The -* turns off all default flags (which can change when changing profiles, or when installing certain packages), so that only the flags you specifically want are on. Then I would make heavy use of package.use to turn on specific USE flags for specific packages, rather than globally enabling them in make.conf. This does take a bit more care to get right, but it can result in a very lean system, with no surprises like the x11 dependancy you had today. But be really careful if you do convert to this, and don't merge anything without examining the output of emerge -DNuvp world, and being happy with the changes it wants to make.

Even adding www-apps/wordpress -xpm in /etc/portage/package.use doesn't prevent the original emerge command from trying to pull in xterm and X11. What am I missing now? It is not wordpress that has the xpm USE flag, but dev-lang/php. So that should be dev-lang/php -xpm. Also, make sure that only a single entry for the package appears in package.use. For the make.conf case, well, it should work. Maybe check the output of emerge -DNuvp world, and if that doesn't help, post the output of emerge --info. Bingo -- the dev-lang/php -xpm entry solved the problem. And, as another poster suggested, I apparently did not have -xpm in place at the time that php was built, as --newuse now wants to rebuild it due to the change in that flag. Is there some tool that I should be using, or some additional emerge flag, that would help diagnose a problem like this? I tried masking the packages that were being brought in, to see if that would tell me which package had the dependency that was bringing in the extra stuff, but nothing ever pointed me at php -- virtual/x11-6.8 is as far as it would ever go. I appreciate the help and would like learn from this, and avoid bugging the list if something like this comes up again. Regards, Lance -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] mwcollect deprecation notice
Hi all, Just a quick announcement that as per the announcement recently: http://www.mwcollect.org/ mwcollect has merged code with nepenthes ( http://nepenthes.mwcollect.org/ ). That said, the upgrade path will be as follows: 1) Version 3.0.4 will be added to the tree, most likely tommorow evening PST 2) I'll file a bug with ppc to ensure the proper keywording transitions over. 3) When the nepenthes version comes out with the code merged, mwcollect will be removed from the tree, and the appropriate package move will be added so users are automatically converted over to nepenthes. Thanks all Chris White pgp49HAnqrlYu.pgp Description: PGP signature

Since you have the Modes 1024x768 for 24, it should come out looking like: Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Card0 MonitorMonitor0 DefaultDepth 24 SubSection Display Viewport 0 0 Depth 1 EndSubSection This is the only way I am ever able to get my system to go to 1280x1024, possibly it'll force yours to the correct setting.
