[gentoo-user] quota settings for user groups...
Hi, I am a little confused about effect of quota settings for group. If I define some soft/hard limits for group users (let's say 100MB for a certain partition), does it mean that every user belonging to this group will have that limit 100MB for his files? Or is it a summary limit for the whole group, i.e. all users from this group together have limit 100MB, no matter how is it divided among them?

[gentoo-user] nfs and iptables
Hi all, I'm trying to configure my firewall in order to be able to mount a remote NFS exported directory. AFAIK I must open port 111 tcp/udp (portmat). rpcinfo confirms it: # rpcinfo -p program vers proto port 102 tcp111 portmapper 102 udp111 portmapper Well, so I set next rule in my firewall: -A INPUT -d 193.146.196.198 -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -d 193.146.196.198 -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 111 -j LOG --log-prefix NFS (tcp) Input: --log-level 7 -A INPUT -d 193.146.196.198 -i eth0 -p udp -m udp --dport 111 -j LOG --log-prefix NFS (udp) Input: --log-level 7 -A INPUT -d 193.146.196.198 -i eth0 -p udp -m udp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT And restart my firewall. (I use same rules for other ports, ssh, smtp...) Well, I'm no able to mount the directory, and I see this in logs: UDP privileged ports DROP:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:11:11:20:6e:81:00:16:35:0a:a8:b6:08:00 SRC=193.146.196.234 DST=193.146.196.198 LEN=56 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=57 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=111 DPT=822 LEN=36 and this logs comes from next rule: -A INPUT -d 193.146.196.198 -i eth0 -p udp -m udp --dport 0:1023 -j LOG --log-prefix UDP privileged ports DROP: --log-level 7 -A INPUT -d 193.146.196.198 -i eth0 -p udp -m udp --dport 0:1023 -j REJECT which is at bottom of all rules... I don't understand what happen, cause I can telnet to port 111 and get response. And I hace portmat in that port: #netstat -putan |grep 111 tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 10028/portmap udp0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* 10028/portmap I do the mount: lx-arnau ~ # mount -t nfs hostname:/export/media /mnt/musica/ mount: RPC: Program not registered Got the error... but: lx-arnau ~ # netstat -putan |grep 111 tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 10028/portmap tcp0 0 my_IP:60394 nfs_server:111 TIME_WAIT - udp0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* 10028/portmap ...

Re: [gentoo-user] Unwanted dependecies
On Friday 23 June 2006 14:35, Jure Varlec wrote: I apologize if this was previously discussed, but I couldn't find anything on gmane. And maybe I should post this on gentoo-devel, but I'm not going to molest developers until I understand portage better. Knowing there are users here with good knowledge of portage I thought I would ask here first. Good call. :) [SNIP] When I asked it to show me which packages depended on a certain gnome lib, it dutifully presented me with the answer. The trick is, those packages were compiled with USE=-gnome. And looking at their ebuilds, dependency handling was correct and they did not depend on those libs. How did you determine that? Did the ebuild inherit any eclasses and did you look in those? Also make sure you have =gentoolkit-0.2.2. So portage never built this packages with gnome support. So why did they depend on gnome libs? I now believe that the libs were installed prior to the package in question, and the package's configure script detected that and compiled the package against the lib. This may be wrong; in that case, someone please explain what's going on. But if it's true, it raises two more questions. Remember USE flags are for *optional* dependencies. Mandatory dependencies will remain no matter what USE flags you set. [SNIP] But I'd like to know: how, in principle, does equery (and, supposedly, portage) know that a certain package depends on a lib, when the decision to depend on it was made by the configure script independent of what portage was told to do via USE flags or hard dependencies? The decision should not be made independent of what portage was told. If it is that would be a bug in the ebuild. And secondly: why the heck does portage allow configure autodetection? Why don't ebuilds specify explicitly, depending on USE flags, what to build and what not to build? It does specify dependencies explicitly in the ebuilds depending on USE flags. If it does not it is a bug. And to finish the story, I played around with equery long enough to find everything I deemed to be part of gnome, removed it, and rebuilt everything that was unjustly depending on it. Without changing the USE flags, of course -- they've never been set anyway. Emerge never pulled anything back in, and now everything works beautifully, telling me I am right at least in some respects. But I'd like to have the situation cleared up, so I'm turning to you. Portage cannot prevent an autoconfigure script from detecting stuff that the ebuild does not depend on. But as stated above it would be regarded as a bug when it does. The devs have two options to fix such a bug. Either patch the configure script to disable detection of additional stuff (when USE flag is disabled) or add the detected stuff as mandatory dependencies. This also explains why applications that depend on gnome-python-extras like e.g. meld have ridiculous dependencies like totem and nautilus-burner. To get rid of those dependencies someone must patch the configure script of gnome-python-extras to allow USE flags to disable them with switches.

Re: [gentoo-user] Unwanted dependecies
Thank you for replying. I see now that I should clarify further what is
bothering me, as you didn't quite see my point. I guess it got lost in the
noise. No more stories then :)
Remember USE flags are for *optional* dependencies. Mandatory dependencies
will remain no matter what USE flags you set.
I understand. That is not the problem.
How did you determine that? Did the ebuild inherit any eclasses and did you
look in those? Also make sure you have =gentoolkit-0.2.2.
Gentoolkit is 0.2.2. After equery, I took a look at the ebuild.
As for the eclasses, I must admit I'm still not too comfortable with them,
which is what I was actually referring to when I said I need to understand
portage better. It's a shame really considering that I've been using gentoo
for two-and-a-half years. I need to get spanked ;) . But as far as I
understand it (and from what I can see looking at the eclasses) they are
merely collections of useful shell functions which devs can use when writing
ebuilds.
Anyway, to get rid of unnecessary confusion, I will give you an example
package which I remember, and whose ebuild is simple enough so that it does
not include any complicated inherits. In fact, it is short enough to be
included in this mail.

As you can see, it does not inherit anything, and does not depend on anything
gnomish. However, when I checked with equery, it definitely depended on
something which I didn't need/want (sorry, I can't remember what it was,
probably gconf or some such), although the ebuild specifies no such
dependency, not even indirectly (through gtk+ etc.) After I removed the
unwanted dep and remerged gqview, it did not pull the removed dependency
back in, and no longer depends on it.
The same applies for dependencies which were disabled through use flags, such
as this snip (from openoffice):
gnome? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-2.4
=gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.6
=gnome-base/gconf-2.0 )
In this case, It depended on gnome-vfs and gconf, even when the gnome USE flag
was disabled. After I removed the offending packages and recompiled
openoffice, the dependecy is gone.
Note: you might remember I wrote that oo.org used to be compiled with
USE=eds, which pulls these in along with other stuff indirectly through
gnome-extra/evolution-data-server. It was the reason these libs were
installed in the first place. The dependency problem I'm describing, however,
is independent from that and was present even after I recompiled oo.org
without eds.
I hope this helped you better understand what is bothering me. It's not that
I'm particularly against having those libs installed and wouldn't mind to
keep them if they were hard deps of something I needed, but I'm kind of
frustrated when packages depend on things I told them not to depend on
through USE flags. It means I cant test a package with a hard dep on a lib
because in case I emerge something while that lib is installed, I'll never
know if it will choose to depend on that lib, which in turn would mean that
after I remove the lib, I need to recompile stuff, once more. In the past two
weeks, I recompiled openoffice 4 times, which is 3 times more than I'm
normally willing to do it. This is not to say I would be less frustrated if
only small packages were affected :)
Looking at oo.org ebuild again and I see that it uses use_enable function in
the call to ./configure. So why the heck did it depend on gconf and gnome-vfs
when it was obviously told not to? And even more confusing: how did equery
know about this dependency?
*Sigh*
I hope I'm missing something here. Because if these are bugs, there's quite a
few. Sadly, I removed all the temporary lists of packages I removed and
rebuilt, so I have nothing to report now. Stupid me.

Thank you for replying. I see now that I should clarify further what is

It was not lost. Just questioned...
[SNIP]
Gentoolkit is 0.2.2. After equery, I took a look at the ebuild.
As for the eclasses, I must admit I'm still not too comfortable with them,
which is what I was actually referring to when I said I need to understand
portage better. It's a shame really considering that I've been using gentoo
for two-and-a-half years. I need to get spanked ;) . But as far as I
understand it (and from what I can see looking at the eclasses) they are
merely collections of useful shell functions which devs can use when
writing ebuilds.
ebuilds inherit dependencies and USE flags from the eclasses too.
[SNIP]
As you can see, it does not inherit anything, and does not depend on
anything gnomish. However, when I checked with equery, it definitely
depended on something which I didn't need/want (sorry, I can't remember
what it was, probably gconf or some such), although the ebuild specifies no
such dependency, not even indirectly (through gtk+ etc.) After I removed
the unwanted dep and remerged gqview, it did not pull the removed
dependency back in, and no longer depends on it.
Hard to comment on since you don't remember..
The same applies for dependencies which were disabled through use flags,
such
as this snip (from openoffice):
gnome? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-2.4
=gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.6
=gnome-base/gconf-2.0 )
In this case, It depended on gnome-vfs and gconf, even when the gnome USE
flag was disabled. After I removed the offending packages and recompiled
openoffice, the dependecy is gone.
Note: you might remember I wrote that oo.org used to be compiled with
USE=eds, which pulls these in along with other stuff indirectly through
gnome-extra/evolution-data-server. It was the reason these libs were
installed in the first place. The dependency problem I'm describing,
however, is independent from that and was present even after I recompiled
oo.org without eds.
I do have openoffice and gnome-vfs too. equery depends gnome-vfs does report
openoffice for me despite the fact that the gnome use flag is disabled. So I
tried removing gnome-vfs from /var/db/pkg/app-office/openoffice*/{R,}DEPEND.
That stopped equery from showing openoffice with equery depends gnome-vfs. I
also tried removing gnome-vfs and running revdep-rebuild -p. This did not
report any broken dependencies from openoffice. So I think it is very
possible that there are still bugs in equery... I don't know though how
equery works though so it's just a guess.
[SNIP]
*Sigh*
I hope I'm missing something here. Because if these are bugs, there's quite
a few. Sadly, I removed all the temporary lists of packages I removed and
rebuilt, so I have nothing to report now. Stupid me.
While I think those are bugs they are really minor.

Hm. I guess it's not hard to imagine equery fails to read USE flags correctly
and that would make it a bug. But this still doesn't explain gqview, which
doesn't have neither hard nor USE dependencies on anything I removed.
Obviously I have to do more research, especially since I haven't any data to

[gentoo-user] Firefox and Java bringing X down

[gentoo-user] booting with an lvm2 root. How do I make a working initrd?
Hi. I'm trying to get my gentoo isntallation to work, but I'm just ending up pulling my hair out.

The previous version didn't list any conditional dependency, even
when the USE flag was set and the package installed, the current

[gentoo-user] Slow PCMCIA-USB
Hi all, I just purchased a PCMCIA-USB-card to make my notebook USB 2.0 ready. I connected an external USB drive and an mp3-stick using Knoppix and was very happy because everything worked right out of the box. Making a backup of my Gentoo installation to the USB drive was a real joy :) . When running the card under Gentoo, everything is plug and play as well, but there are two disadvantages: * I have to put in the card after booting. Otherwise I cannot establish a DSL connection (minor issue) * Worse: The device works well, but file transfer rates (mass storage) are very slow (~32KB/sec) So it seems not to be a hardware problem but a problem of my particular installation. I run a custom 2.6.14.2 kernel on a Dell Inspiron 8200. If anyone could point me to some keywords to ask search engines for or can provide some personal experiences, I'd really be glad. I'm also happy with RTFM :) . Thanks a lot best regards, ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

In the gphoto case, you do not want to be writing rules for your device, as is it controlled purely through userspace (rather than a specific kernel driver). here :http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html Doing a grep for plugdev in /etc returns /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam ... seems that file is responsible for the permissions, but what happens then is a mystery to me ;-) Followed the instructions there but i got lost quickly as there were unclear to me so i did not got the script to do something useful As for that line being mandatory, no I don't believe so, but about 1 year ago I had the same issues, got talking with some usb-gurus and they said to add that. At that time it did the trick, and since then I've kept it ;-) I should also buy them a beer for a good advice here Thanks! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] initramfs, network diskless boot, init process, problems with switchroot (pivot_root)
Well, too many replies, thank you all :)I could solve my problem using strace to detect where init stops (of course I had to recompile init allowing to not be PID 1). Looking at the errors reported on strace log I could see that the problem was with the /dev/null and /dev/console doesn't exists so I've changed my init script to create they both and now everything works like a charm :) Oh, and actually I'm using switch_root from busybox which is very similar to pivot_root.Again, tks for all replies,Claudinei MatosOn 6/21/06, Richard Fish [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 6/21/06, Hans-Werner Hilse [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: chroot.

Hi Neil, What do your devices show up as, /dev/sd* or /dev/ub*? as sd*, no ub* at all...

In conclusion: how do I get/make a working initrd so I can boot with my lvm2 root? that's much work to do it your self start building ext2 images or cpio's with static busybox lvm2 and write your own linuxrc (here you may cheat by looking into linuxrc from genkernel :-)). Don't forget to create dev-files and to include some modules. Sascha. Yes. What Sascha said. I've had many a user (in #gentoo IRC) sneer at me for using Genkernel to produce a kernel + initramfs archive to boot up my RAID + LVM2 based system. But it's far simpler than reinventing the wheel by creating all that is needed to bootstrap the RAID/LVM2 setup (static bins, linuxrc script to start everything up, create device nodes, etc, etc). I don't see much value in doing it myself when Genkernel already does it for me. Also, you can do all the kernel customization you wish (within reason) even if you use Genkernel by using one of the --menu|x|g|config flags, and/or --oldconfig. -- +---+ | Jim Burwell - Sr. Systems/Network/Security Engineer, JSBC | +---+ | I never let my schooling get in the way of my education. - Mark Twain | | UNIX was never designed to keep people from doing stupid things, because | | that policy would also keep them from doing clever things. - Doug Gwyn | | Cool is only three letters away from Fool - Mike Muir, Suicyco | | ..Government in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst | | state an intolerable one.. - Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)| +---+ | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ UIN: 1695089 | +---+ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
