[gentoo-user] Getting Started
I am new to Gentoo, and working on getting things up and going. I am running an HP Pavilion with an Athlon 64 processor. I'll build a desktop eventually when I have the time, but for now this is it. I am attempting to install the x86 version of Gentoo from the i686 stage3 tarball, and so far have had no luck getting the ATI video drivers to compile. (My reason for this is that I wish to be able to run the current version of blender, which seems to have issues under AMD64 at this time.) However, if I do a networkless install, it works fine, but there are strange issues with upgrading. Portage has no love for a synthesized system. :P Anyway, I will probably post actual error messages in the near future if I can't figure it out myself.

[gentoo-user] lots of broken/missing dependencies when starting w/ stage1
Hi folks, after my notebook disk died, I started completely afresh with the newest stage1 (running within some bit aged knoppix). I remembered installing from stage1 quite easy: edit make.conf etc, run bootstrap.sh and then begin to emerge all your packages. But this didn't work: there seem to be many version and dependency problems. I should have wrote evrything down, I can't remember them all ... For example, openssh failed because openssl was missing. And emerge did not make any attempt to install it. So obviously the dependency is missing. In fact the ebuild file does not contain any dependency on openssl. Another critical error was the toolchain killing itself. After installing the new gcc for my target (stage1 comes w/ *i486*, I set *i686* in make.conf), it wanted the binutils for that platform, which were missing. So I had to copy them from *i486* to be able to at least build the binutils. There were a lot of other problems which may be caused by those I described above. cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ - Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ - -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] A List Question
Is there a way to select a list option so that I can get a plain text digest? The regular list traffic produces way too many messages, but I cannot read the digest version on my mail system because it sends it as a bunch of .eml attachments, and the mail system strips them out (It is at the server side, so I can't influence the behavior).

[gentoo-user] Remote administration of a server
Hello yall, first, this is a kind of half-topic issue, but I'll be using Gentoo and the matter is on the interest of this list. I'll be building a Gentoo Cluster soon in a datacenter 6000 miles (9600 km) away from me... This project has to be as cost efficient as possible. A lot of research was made in this heading: the best cost effective solution. Everything I'll be redundant and scalable. Somethings have three levels of fail safeness (like my storage). So everything can fail. Every single item on the cluster can fail and my service will still be online. Right now I'm concerned with how I'm going to fix software problems when they arrive. I'm thinking about a situation where I have a kernel panic or when the Linux won't boot for any reason (incorrect kernel upgrade, hard drive failure, etc...). To solve this, I'm seeing 2 options right now. The first would be buying a KVM-over-IP unit. But, a KVM-over-IP unit with the number of ports I need is expensive, almost as expensive as the servers it will be connected. The second option would be having another server acting as a USB Guest. This usb-guest-server would be connected to every other server through a USB cable and would be seen as a pen drive with a Gentoo rescue disk inside. Them, if something goes wrong, I can activate the virtual pen drive, remotely reboot the troubled server and it will boot the pen drive. There is a howto about this at http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/file_storage.html. But I can't find the necessary hardware to do this. Has anyone been able to do anything like this? Thinking about other options, does anyone have any other tip for me? Am I going in the right direction? For the obvious answer: I know it's better to be closer to the datacenter, but that's not an option for me right now and I know I'll have a remote-hands service, but it can be very time inefficient sometimes and I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible. Thank you all. Best regards, Daniel Colchete

The two options you've mentioned are quite different. One gives console access, the other basically cures HD fails. The latter is clearly a job for your hosting company, I think. And there's an old, proven way for the task console access: forget about that graphics output on that computer and learn to trust in good ol' serial connections :-) certainly cheaper than KVM-over-IP. Another option would be for the servers to default to netbooting and fall back to HD on boot. Then you were able to switch on the service offering the netboot images on some fall-back servers on-demand. I think this is somewhat like your USB idea. Or generally use netboot (w/ redundant servers) and forget about the HD fails alltogether (i.e., have some remote login program in your initrd). All these options still won't give you the opportunity to power-cycle your machines, which might be the only option left under some circumstances.

HTH, Norberto First, the firewall configuration. Your first message said: The eth0 here has the real ip,and the eth1 have a subnet ip:192.168.1.21. But here you show that you set it to .63, as Norberto pointed out. I assume that was just a typographical error in the first email. Moving on, the default route for the firewall is probably to the outside world, and if you can ping google.com, it works. Second, the client configuration. The route for the subnet it's on (192.168.1/24) is automatically created, as before. The default route is the IP of the firewall/gateway it's behind, namely 192.168.1.63 as Norberto said. The machine that's forwarding packets to the internet for these hosts now provides the route to the outside world for these hosts. Third, you must tell your client PCs nameservers, so that they can resolve domain names. If you fail to do so, even though a ping of google.com, for example, fails, a ping of its ip address (64.233.167.99, in my case) will work. Fourth, you must check your firewall (that is, iptables) configuration to be sure your iptables all refer to the correct subnet. iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.8.0/24 -j MASQUERADE that wasn't right -- obviously the subnet should be your own. Since the firewall you're building knows all the information the hosts need to know (subnet information, routes, etc) you may wish to set up a rudimentary DHCP server on it, so that additional hosts can be added without configuration by the user.

RE: [gentoo-user] Gnome / problem registering the panel with bonobo-activation-server / error code 3
I've still got no gnome working and no idea how to fix this. I joined the gnome list, but it's useless. I've posted several times, and nothing gets through to it! I use DynDNS so it should work fine. The Exim list (which blocks too) works. In any event, it's so low volume (shocking considering how huge gnome is), I wonder if there is more than a handful of people on it to begin with. But I digress... This weekend, I did an emerge -au world and after two days, and like 160 packages, and all the 'etc-update' and stuff, still no gnome love. rev-dep rebuild. Not even a some lube. Then I did an emerge -aDu gnome and it compiled like 59 more packages. Guess what... Yep. Gnome still hates me and is putting it right in my pooper. Dry. So now I'm out of ideas. Is there a 'debug' mode or something I can see what or why whatever is crashing?

My gnome is broken and has been for some time and I can't seem to fix it or find any solutions on the web. I was hoping eventually some emerge would fix it magically for me. When I start it (even as root), it gets to the third icon (like a desktop looking one), then gives me some Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error while attempting to register the file manager view server.

[gentoo-user] maintaining QM'ed overla
Hi folks, now that I'm forced to maintain my own QM'ed overlay, I'm looking for some tools making it some bit easier: a) if I decide to take over some package, it must be absolutely clear that no more ebuilds from the main tree can get in b) I need some automatic notification on updates on the main tree for those packages.

Cheers Mark But Why? What's the benefit? If the code isn't being used, it isn't going to slow down the kernel is it? And the size of the kernel is irrelevant in my opinion -- the kernel is far from the predominant memory consumer on even a slow system. I think it's more likely that you'll have a problem with your kernel configuration than your kernel performance, and modules are the only way to add kernel support without rebooting. Furthermore, kernel modules have their own benefits -- increased run-time configuration, for example (as opposed to a boot parameter). No, I agree with volker: everything needed for booting: in kernel everything needed all the time: in kernel everything that needs a good kicking once in a while (usb, sound): modules everything that needs parameters: modules everything that is not needed all the time: module that way, you can also build modules on-the-fly to suit your needs and then compile them into the kernel, if desired, the next time you rebuild it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

More exactly, a route to the subnet 192.168.1.0/24 will automatically be created through eth1. A _gateway_ in this case is not necessary because eth1 lives on that subnet. /etc/conf.d/net in one PC config_eth0=( 192.168.1.35 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255 ) routes_eth0=( default gw 192.168.1.1 ) No. GW should be 192.168.1.63, which is the IP address of your gateway. HTH, Norberto First, the firewall configuration. Your first message said: The eth0 here has the real ip,and the eth1 have a subnet ip:192.168.1.21. But here you show that you set it to .63, as Norberto pointed out. I assume that was just a typographical error in the first email. Moving on, the default route for the firewall is probably to the outside world, and if you can ping google.com, it works. Second, the client configuration. The route for the subnet it's on (192.168.1/24) is automatically created, as before. The default route is the IP of the firewall/gateway it's behind, namely 192.168.1.63 as Norberto said. The machine that's forwarding packets to the internet for these hosts now provides the route to the outside world for these hosts. Third, you must tell your client PCs nameservers, so that they can resolve domain names. If you fail to do so, even though a ping of google.com, for example, fails, a ping of its ip address (64.233.167.99, in my case) will work. All my PCs have the same /etc/resove.conf file with the server.And now the PC can't ping through 66.249.89.99(of course,the server can). Fourth, you must check your firewall (that is, iptables) configuration to be sure your iptables all refer to the correct subnet. iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.8.0/24 -j MASQUERADE that wasn't right -- obviously the subnet should be your own. I have already corrected it to iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE from the first time. Since the firewall you're building knows all the information the hosts need to know (subnet information, routes, etc) you may wish to set up a rudimentary DHCP server on it, so that additional hosts can be added without configuration by the user. You may also wish to impliment a caching, recursive nameserver for enhanced efficiency. DNSMasq can do both.
