 No, VMWare does not support OS/2 (a beta version did, but they stopped the
 development long ago). However, Parallels does, and it's a lot less
 expensive. I have eComStation working in a Parallels VM here.

I made a test install on a VMware Server installation (Host: AMD64 + Gentoo 
2006.1). I created a VM (OS type other). Then i exit the console, changed in 
the *.vmx file the key guestOS to guestOS=os2experimental and start the 
installation of OS/2 Warp 4 (german) from CD. Somewhere in between i got two 
SYS... messages. After a reboot the install completes and seems to be ok now.

Hope that helps.

[gentoo-user] What's the deal with Bittorrent v5?

2006-11-11 Thread Daniel
So I noticed the other day that Bittorrent version 5 is out and has been for a 
while, (http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/?M=D) though there isn't even an 
~arch version in portage yet.  Is it running under a different name or is the 
ebuild not being maintained?  Anyone know?

[gentoo-user] Encrypting a file containing confidential info

2006-11-11 Thread Mick
Hi All,

For some years now I have saved my passwords and other rather critical login 
data and information as database file on a Psion pda.  The file is encrypted 
and decrypted using a Psion application called FreeCrypt.  FreeCrypt uses an 
RC4 algorithm to encrypt the data.

As the hardware is approaching the end of its useful life I wanted to move 
away from my dependence on Psion, or use another method in parallel.  I have 
of course gpg on my laptop, but I am concerned that I will be keeping both my 
private key and the encrypted file on the same machine.

What would you suggest I should use bearing in mind that simplicity and use of 
default linux tools would be most preferable, commensurate with as high a 
degree of security as possible.

[gentoo-user] Basic Vmware setup

2006-11-11 Thread Hans de Hartog

Hi,

Due to circumstances beyond my control I have
to run (once a month) Windows (98 or 2000) :-(

I guess that vmware can do the job. In windows
I need internet access with IE and I must be
able to print some webpages to a printserver
(gentoo+cups).
What to use? Vmware server, workstation or
player? The descriptions are not clear about
the differences.
I'm running Linux 2.6.17.13 (vanilla-sources)
on i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz with
768 Mb and only stable stuff.

Thanks in advance!

[gentoo-user] [OT] pdf wierdness

2006-11-11 Thread Matthew R. Lee
For reasons unknown my .pdf files will not open with kpdf or kghostview.
Fore example I get the following error message with kghostview:

Could not open /home/matt/Work/Pdfs/Not_processed/New/Armsby2006.pdf which has 
type application/x-kdeuser1. KGhostview can only load PostScript (.ps, .eps) 
and Portable Document Format (.pdf) files.

Now if I change the file type to .x and click on the file it will open in kpdf 
or kghostview.  I've checked the file associations, they all seem in order.
Anybody any idea what's up?

I would suggest to try vmware server first.  I have run all three, and
the biggest differences between them are:

player: can only use existing virtual machine configurations, it
cannot edit or create them.  Equivalent performance to workstation.
Also has a very nice full-screen mode.  Free (beer).

workstation: best all-around performance for desktop tasks.  Can
create or edit existing configurations, has excellent (2D only)
graphics performance.  Costs some $'s.

server: Can create or edit existing configurations.  Can leave a
virtual machine running in the background if you close the console
window or even logoff.  The console can also access virtual machines
across the network.  The downside to all of this goodness is that
graphics performance suffers...something like accessing a remote
system with VNC.  Free (beer).

All have equivalent capabilities for accessing the network, and the
guest OS never really knows that it is running in a virtual machine.

Note that it is entirely possible to use server to create virtual
machines, and then use player to run them, if the graphics performance
bothers you too much.

 You also need the passphrase to unlock the private key, so, as far as you
 use big enough keys, and good enough passphrases, your mind can't be hacked
 into (oh well, depends on torture, but...)

He, he! :)

I was thinking of memory dumps being accessed by malicious software/entities?

[gentoo-user] SCSI/libata based PATA support

2006-11-11 Thread Sven Köhler
Hi,

do you know, what's going on at present in kernel development? We had
libata based SATA drivers for a few kernel-versions now.
Since 2.6.19, we seem to be offered libata based PATA drivers too!

Why are they doing it? Does this make any sense to you? The new drivers
don't replace the old ones, at present time. But are they planned to? Or
do they just exist for the fun of it ?

Re: [gentoo-user] Anybody got OS/2 working under linux?

2006-11-11 Thread Walter Dnes
On Sat, Nov 11, 2006 at 09:00:09AM +0100, Petric Frank wrote

 I made a test install on a VMware Server installation (Host: AMD64 + Gentoo 
 2006.1). I created a VM (OS type other). Then i exit the console, changed in 
 the *.vmx file the key guestOS to guestOS=os2experimental and start the 
 installation of OS/2 Warp 4 (german) from CD. Somewhere in between i got two 
 SYS... messages. After a reboot the install completes and seems to be ok now.

  Before I go ahead, a few more questions...

  1) I have to allow a couple of ~x86 packages in package.keywords
first (yes, I did an emerge --sync).  Is this expected?
=app-emulation/vmware-server-1.0.1.29996-r4 ~x86
=app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1 ~x86


  2) I notice that sys-libs/pam is loaded as a dependancy.  I don't mind
the file sitting there, being used by vmware.  Does it just affect
vmware?  If pam kicks in for other programs, it's a showstopper for me.

[m3000][root][~] emerge --ask vmware-server

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N] app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1
[ebuild  N] sys-apps/xinetd-2.3.14  USE=-perl -tcpd
[ebuild  N] sys-libs/pam-0.78-r3  USE=-berkdb -nis -pam_chroot
-pam_console -pam_timestamp -pwdb (-selinux)
[ebuild  N] app-emulation/vmware-server-1.0.1.29996-r4

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] no


  3) My current OS/2 machine is an old PII with a 3.2 gig harddrive.
Can I short-circuit the install by copying the working OS/2 system to
an empty VM?  Think of it as a stage 3 install for OS/2 g.

[gentoo-user] mounttool

2006-11-11 Thread Uwe Thiem
Hi folks,

some distros come with a little utility called mounttool. I can loop mount 
images of encrypted filesystems (cryptsetup but for loop mounting). I can't 
seem to find it in gentoo. Does it hide somewhere? Or can someone recommend a 
similar tool in portage?

Uwe

[gentoo-user] Re: [OT] VMware legal question

2006-11-11 Thread Alexander Skwar
· Daniel Iliev [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Is it legal to do the following:
 
 1) emerge vmware-workstation
 2) build some images (within the 30 day trial period)
 3) emerge -C vmware-workstation (within the 30 day trial period)
 4) emerge vmware-player and use it to play the images created by
 vmware-workstation

That might be legal, but why don't you go the absolutely legal
way and use vmware-server instead of vmware-workstation?
