[gentoo-user] k3b, konqueror DCOP error on start

[Jed R. Mallen]

I suddenly got this upon starting k3b, konqueror after an emerge -uDN world:

===

revdep-rebuild says all is ok.

i checked dcop and came up with kdcop which is not installed but it's
not on the dependency of the above kde apps.

what could be wrong? thanks.

Hi, Neil

I have to admit I've never made such tests and I'm guessing here but I
would say that you may be even slowing down the system this way. One
subsystem passing the data to another subsystem..well it seems logical
that you would gain performance if you could exclude one of those.

Actually I'd be glad to read some results from a "Fake RAID-0 vs LVM"
tests. My bet would be that RAID-0 w/o LVM would give the best speeds

Thanks, Ryan, but I really want to stick with the tar pit solution. I
had already solved the real problem when I asked for help here. I want
to play with  the tar pit module for..let's say "academic purposes" ;-)

Unfortunately I had no luck. Clean kernel, the latest patch-o-matic, the
latest iptables and the same result. Obviously gentoo-sources is
incompatible with tar pit module. ;-(

I'm attaching here a file called "tarpit.txt" containing the commands I
issued and the relevant output from them in hope that someone could show
a mistake I'm repeating.

The TARPIT patch:
   Author: "Aaron Hopkins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
   Status: Works for me



Adds a TARPIT target to iptables, which captures and holds incoming TCP
connections using no local per-connection resources.  Connections are
accepted, but immediately switched to the persist state (0 byte window), in
which the remote side stops sending data and asks to continue every 60-240
seconds.  Attempts to close the connection are ignored, forcing the remote
side to time out the connection in 12-24 minutes.

This offers similar functionality to LaBrea
 but doesn't require dedicated hardware
or IPs.  Any TCP port that you would normally DROP or REJECT can instead
become a tarpit.

To tarpit connections to TCP port 80 destined for the current machine:

  iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j TARPIT

To significantly slow down Code Red/Nimda-style scans of unused address
space, forward unused ip addresses to a Linux box not acting as a router
(e.g. "ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 ip.of.linux.box" on a Cisco), enable IP
forwarding on the Linux box, and add:

  iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -j TARPIT
  iptables -A FORWARD -j DROP

You probably don't want the conntrack module loaded while you are using
TARPIT, or you will be using resources per connection.

Re: [gentoo-user] Mutt and CC%CC$CC6 characters

[Juho Rosqvist]

OK, I solved the problem.

For the record: it's worth checking whether the problem persists with a
near-empty muttrc. It did not, so I went through the rc file with a fine
comb once again. The culprit turned out to be this line:

set meta_key = yes

Unsetting the variable removes the problem. In hindsight, it's pretty
obvious, as explained by the Mutt manual:

--- quote ---
meta_key
Type: boolean
Default: no
If set, forces Mutt to interpret keystrokes with the high bit (bit 8) set
as if the user had pressed the ESC key and whatever key remains after having
the high bit removed. For example, if the key pressed has an ASCII value of
0xf4, then this is treated as if the user had pressed ESC then ``x''. This is
because the result of removing the high bit from ``0xf4'' is ``0x74'', which
is the ASCII character ``x''.
--- end quote ---

Thank you for pushing me towards the solution. I might have switched to
a mail client that 'sucks more' without your support ;-)

Regards, Juho

I'm sure that the Gentoo developers are doing their best to resolve the
issues. Unfortunately, I'm not talented enough myself to be able to
contribute to a speedier solution to the problem.

Recently there has been a lot of unpleasant noise about conflicts and
disagreements among the Gentoo developers. I hope that they will resolve
their (mainly political) problems soon. The stories have not been good
for the image of Gentoo, either as an organisation or as a distribution.
 As it stands, Gentoo continues to be my distro of choice. It would take
a lot of grief to make me swap to another distro.

Cheers, Dave

I checked the ebuilds, and sys-libs/readline doesn't appear to be a
dependency of mutt. Not even an indirect dep. Although mutt's input
behaves a _lot_ like readline.

I'm already running OOo 2.1.0-r1 (having package-keyworded STLport 5.1.2) and, 
AFAICT, it runs fine.
OTOH your reluctance is understandable. But what makes the situation even more 
delicate as the OOo build seems to be, is that OOo 2.1 contains some security 
fixes.

> Oh well, patience is a virtue. Or so they say.

I was just asking out of curiosity - the bug doesn't hurt me personally. Since 
although the situation atm is obviously not the way it's meant to be, it's a 
thing that can happen and propably will happen again eventually.
I was simply curious how this will be handled now and (maybe differently) in 
the future. But since further comments on the bug seem to imply that there is 
a lot of discussion on what is to be done, and since I don't have the 
groundbreaking idea that makes all problems disappear, you're propably right: 
we will have to be patient...

Sorta makes the -bin useless (except in very rare circumstances) then
doesn't it?

Perhaps there should be a www-client/mozilla-firefox-headers or something
that contains the .h files or whatever are needed for other dependant
programs. Or better still, just have the -bin version install those wherever
they need to be, so other things can compile.

The mplayer-plug-in ebuild contains

i.e. it depends on either seamonkey or mozilla-firefox, NOT firefox-bin.

I think some chipset don't give the temperature directly, actually return a

run a math formula to calculate the correct temperatura.

in the file /etc/lmsensors.conf you must config the formula

With acpi I don't know how configurate, but I think you can use lmsensors to
read acpi information.

If you don't find how to configure acpi, try lmsensors

Welcome to Gentoo.  That's policy, unless there are significant barriers,
in which case static linking can be used as an interim solution or for

You should configure your network devices using /etc/conf.d/net.  Read the
example /etc/conf.d/net.example for how to set up dhcp, witch, by default,
will re-write this file.

There might also be a file or two mentioned the dhcpcd man page that
control it's behavior.

It seems that we will have to be patient. The various bug reports have
been marked resolved or duplicate, but as yet there no sign of an
updated STLport in portage - except for the ~arch STLport-5.1.2.

Bug #172680 indicates that this ~arch version of STLport resolves the
OpenOffice compilation problem.  However, I am very reluctant to use an
 ~arch ebuild to compile such a massive (but apparently delicate) ebuild
as OpenOffice.

The patches in bug # 172680 mention an STLport-5.1.0-r1, but it has not
yet appeared in portage.

There is a request # 173175 to stabilise STLport-5.1.2 in bugzilla.

Oh well, patience is a virtue. Or so they say.

No, different distros will require slightly different layouts in /etc 
(which is normally part of the same mount as /) and, in particular, will 
install (and confuse each other with) distro-specific scripts 
in /etc/init.d.

I agree that my problem is probably input related. By your reply I
presume that mutt uses readline for input; is this correct?

Midnight Commander displays åäö correctly, but not the corresponding
capital letters ÅÄÖ, which is confusing to say the least. Links works 
after switching to UTF-8 I/O and ISO 8859-1 character set (UTF-8 is not
available?), although some symbols are not displayed, e.g. the euro
currency symbol € is replaced by EUR -- but this is due to the symbol
missing from the charset, I believe.

How would you set this up?  Maybe the actual xfce4 session is being

HDA Intel has been nothing but a total disaster for me. I built a new 
system a few months ago using an AsRock ConRoe945G-DVI motherboard. After 
the system has been up for a while (it could be anywhere from a few 
minutes to a few days) the sound device would "lockup". 
eg "cat /etc/passwd > /dev/sound/dsp" would just pause and never 
finishes. Sometimes "/etc/init.d/alsasound restart" gets it going again, 
other a reboot. Another thing was that the mixing was very flaky, it 
sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. 

I started off with the kernel alsa drivers then changed to alsa-driver but 
the problem persisted. So I got fed up and a couple of weeks ago I just 
bought a cheapo sound card to replace the onboard one, and haven't had a 
problem since.

The OP has an interesting problem here, as root can cd into any

Bill, a bit of a shot in the dark here, but what's the output 
from 'ls -al  /var/spool/cron/'?

If you want to know which package installed an existing file, use:

equery belongs 

If you know which file you want to have and would like to know which
package provides it, well there's no tool for that, the solution would
be horrific. Instead, you ask here and usually someone who has it

Be aware that not all existing files were installed during an emerge, so

I think you need to add theses users to the fcron group (as root):
gpasswd -a [user] fcron

You'll also be interested into remove theses users from cron group which
is no more needed:
gpasswd -d [user] cron

and then retry fcrontab -e

If you want to know which package installed an existing file, use:

equery belongs 

If you know which file you want to have and would like to know which 
package provides it, well there's no tool for that, the solution would 
be horrific. Instead, you ask here and usually someone who has it 
already will run equery belongs for you :-)

Be aware that not all existing files were installed during an emerge, so 
quite often you get zero results.

RE: [gentoo-user] [OT DNS] common way to discover nameservers for an IP

I have made a different assumtion about what your question means than
other posters - assuming you want to find which nameserver is hosting
the reverse lookup zone, with gentoo.org's IP address as an example;

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ host gentoo.org
gentoo.org has address 204.74.99.100
gentoo.org mail is handled by 10 mail.gentoo.org.
gentoo.org mail is handled by 40 mx2.gentoo.org.

So to find out who's hosting the reverse record for 204.74.99.100 we
reverse the first three octets and add in.addr.arpa, ie;

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ host -t NS 99.74.202.in-addr.arpa.
99.74.202.in-addr.arpa name server hk-dns1.hk.prserv.net.
99.74.202.in-addr.arpa name server hk-dns2.hk.prserv.net.

Yeah, memory was upgraded "recently", but that was prior to the last
time i upgraded - say maybe 4 or 5 months ago.  So my point was that the
memory was reasonably new.

He's actually after the NS record from the authoritative server for the

Instead of using iptables, you may want to try DenyHosts
(app-admin/denyhosts).  It's a simple Python script that parses through
/var/log/secure (or whatever your sshd logs to) and finds IPs who have
failed authentication a certain number of times, then adds those IPs to
/etc/hosts.deny.  Naturally, the threshold for blocking a host can be
configured, and many other options can too.  It's worked great for me,
and I've used it for about half a year now.

The website for the DenyHosts project is:
http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/

I hope that I read your question right and that this will help.

[gentoo-user] fontconfig causes segment faults!

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I just want to tell everybody that spurious segment faults with
ooffice / xsane / xcdroast and probably many more packages
are caused by media-libs/fontconfig .

Once I upgraded from 2.3.2-r2 to 2.4.2
the problem was solved (it was just a bit hard to find out)

I guess that any of the following packages does not play well
with fontconfig-2.3.2-r2 (the corresponding ebuilds don't check this)

x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.11
dev-libs/glib-2.12.11
x11-libs/pango-1.14.10

[gentoo-user] [OT DNS] common way to discover nameservers for an IP

I know I've once known and used a command that listed the nameservers
serving a given IP.

I don't remember if it was nslookup, host, dig or what but not finding
it in those various man pages.

I know there are online sites that will do it, but does anyone know a

I don't know anything about the Gentoo kernel, but there have been
significant changes affecting snd-hda-intel in the mainline kernel after
2.6.19. You could try 2.6.21-rc5 and see if that helps.

Same here, and it was the only time I've had a problem with make
oldconfig since switching to 2.6 however long ago. That really was a one

It can also get a little messy with various files in root from the

With any OS the limiting factor is the intelligence of the user in setting up 
and securing things. Any experienced windows user knows what can be stopped and 
stripped out and what needs patched. An experienced windows user will make sure 
(s)he has adequate firewall and antivirus software.

However, put an idiot in front of a default ubuntu desktop and an idiot in 
front of a default windows desktop and I reckon the windows one will still be 
messed up first. There are compromises everywhere in Linux - and a lot of it 
comes down to ease of use vs power, security and flexibility. Windows is about 
as flexible as a brick but its easier to use. Gentoo is in my opinion often 
right at the other end of the spectrum - if you want a totally locked down 
secure flexible powerful desktop Gentoo can do that but it requires a little 
effort and a little knowledge. It's this aspect of Linux I love - I'm a tweaker 
and a fiddler and I like to tweak and fiddle with my desktop :D

tl;dr crew: Ubuntu may not have a perfect security model but it's still better 
than windows and a great way to get people at least curious about linux.

I routinely set up machines for colleagues as triple-boot (Red Hat, 
Ubuntu, XP), and it's the easiest thing in the world. /boot is really 
just a convenient place to put kernel images and grub.conf where grub 
can find them at boot time.

There is a very slim outside chance that two distros might use the same 
name for a kernel, and one clobbers the other. If you want to avoid 
this, create /boot/ubuntu and /boot/redhat (adjust as appropriate), and 
let the distros install kernels into /boot. Then manually move them to 
the correct subdirectory and adjust the "kernel" and "initrd" entries 
in grub.conf to reflect the new path. 

Or you could just rename the kernel, config, initrd and System.map files 
by appending the distro name. There are many possible schemes, so use 
whatever floats your boat.

To save yourself much pain and grief, use one distro to install and 
maintain grub/lilo, and install the other distro *without* a boot 
loader. No distro requires a boot loader to work, as long as you have 
one that can find and load a kernel image, it all works out
