Re: [gentoo-user] qt blockages...
2009/1/18 Mark Knecht markkne...@gmail.com:
Indeed, I do have 4.3.3 installed and it is masked. I guess this
must be one of those cases where the devs decided they didn't like
something they used to like as I didn't do anything to unmask it
myself.
I removed it and the blockages for emerge system have gone.
Unfortunately mine is not as easy:

Harry Putnam wrote: Nikos Chantziaras rea...@arcor.de writes: uvesafb also works on non-x86 system. It has one drawback though: it doesn't switch to graphical mode right from the start like vesafb does. Instead, you get the initial kernel messages in text mode and need to wait for graphics to kick-in. With vesafb, you're in graphics mode right from the start. That pretty much makes uvesafb a poor choice for bootsplash configurations. If you select both will that lead to problems? No, but you can only use one. Could you invoke uvesafb from console session one you've booted? Probably. Didn't try though.
[gentoo-user] lirc and mceusb2 - no /dev/lirc0 node
I just upgraded the kernel on my mythbox to 2.6.28. As part of this, lirc (0.8.4 - which was working fine some weeks before I changed the kernel) was rebuilt against the new kernel without error. However, inserting the lirc_mceusb2 module and starting lircd doesnt give any lirc nodes in /dev except for /dev/lircd. Previously I had /dev/lirc0. Ive gone back to the older 2.6.23 kernel - now there is no /dev/lirc0 with that one also, either before or after rebuilding lirc :( Any clues on where lirc0 has gone?

Re: [gentoo-user] lirc and mceusb2 - no /dev/lirc0 node
Thanks Niel, the symptoms are the same, but I know I need a kernel module and the module is loaded, but no node is formed except the /dev/lircd from lircd itself. It looks like udev is not triggering node creation when the mceusb module is loaded. Will keep looking ...

I am running vlc-0.9.8a which is the only one available. How could I
go about this?
I had a similar problem here.
emerge -C qt-4.3.3
emerge -auDNv1 qt
emerge -av vlc
emerge -auDNv world
Did the trick for me.
My vlc USE flags:
X a52 aac alsa cdda cddb cdio dbus dvd ffmpeg flac hal httpd libgcrypt
libnotify matroska mmx mp3 mpeg ncurses nsplugin ogg opengl png qt4
samba sdl sse stream svg theora truetype vcd vorbis win32codecs xml xv
As an additional benefit, since the update to the new qt4 libraries the
VLC UI buttons are not messed up any more. (bug 246116)
Cheers, Dave
Since qt has been move from meta-package to separate split packages, you should
unemerge qt-4.3* and then emerge the split packages. Having split packages is a
great implementation ,so dont shoot the developers.

[gentoo-user] kernel-boot: vga=ask...
Hi, I am using a NVIDrIA-card GeForce 7600 GT with vanilla 2.6.27.12 linux kernel and grub boot loader. The commandline to boot the kernel is: kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2627012 rootfstpye=reiserfs root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=31B. This works like a charm...but the resulting resolution a little too high. So I replaced vga=31B with vga=ask and after rebooting press RETURN to see all available modes. I replaced vga=31B with vga=317 (both were VESA modes, if I rember correctly. After rebooting, the screen remains black as long as X were started. Why does vga=31B does work and vga=317 does not despite the fact both were reported as working modes by grub. Ah! By the way: Interrupting grub, and editing the commandline for the kernel boot and setting vga=317 _by hand_ works like a charm. Any help will be very appreciated.

[gentoo-user] Strange dependency of kopete-3.5.9 on qt-4*
After reading a post here today I decided to investigate why I have several qt-4.4.2 packages on this workstation, when I don't have kde-4. It turns out that the SSL USE flag causes kopete-3.5.9 to pull in 14 qt-4.4.2 packages. This strikes me as somewhat odd. For the moment I've specified kopete -ssl in portage.use and removed all the qt-4 packages. Does anyone here know why we have this dependency of a kde-3 package on qt-4? -- Rgds Peter
Re: [gentoo-user] Network printing -- Solved
On Tuesday 06 January 2009 15:39:48 I wrote: I have a server with two printers connected, set up using the cups Web page and operating properly. Now I want to send print jobs to them from my workstation, which is on the same network, and with the same version of cups: 1.3.9-r1. One of the printers is an HP Deskjet D4260, so I also have hplip version 2.8.6b installed on both machines. I can connect either printer to either machine and print locally without any problems. However, I cannot get anything to print over the network. If, on the workstation, I declare the network laser printer and connect to it, all appears to work until I send a print job to it; the job sits in the lp queue locally, and when I next look at the status of the printer it says Destination printer does not exist! If I try to set up the Deskjet as a remote printer in the local cups server, I get Filter foomatic-rip for printer HP_Deskjet_D4260 not available: No such file or directory. I don't know what to try next. Anyone any idea here? Well, I don't know what I did differently, but once again I zapped the server root partition, recovered it from a known good, minimal backup, brought it up to date and set cups up again. Now when I go to a client box and run the KDE printer setup utility, it shows the printers and even allows me to configure them. I don't touch the cups server on the client, other than to point /etc/cups/client.conf to the server. There are still some oddities, but those can wait now.

Re: [gentoo-user] Reconciling users and services
I have some users on a system and some services. How can I make sure only certain users can log into certain services? Do I need to explicitly define which users can log into each service? Are there different types of users so that some can only log into certain services? For example, I know any user that has their shell set to /bin/nologin can't log into a shell. How can I check on users' shell settings? - Grant To do this you configure each service separately (there is no central registry-type thing for this). You don't say what services you are interested in, so I have to make some assumptions. apache, samba, ftp servers, all have their own authentication methods. You have to research what methods they provide, and choose which is most appropriate. For instance, Samba can auth against kerberos/ldap or using a local smbpasswd file. For a specific user to be able to access something via samba, you ensure they have an entry in AD or a line in smbpasswd. For more simple local services, you can use user and group permissions. I have to restrict cron and wget at work, I find the easiest way is to: chown root:trusted /usr/bin/wget chown root:trusted /usr/bin/crontab users authorized to use wget/cron must then be put in the trusted group. cron has it's cron.allow and cron.deny files that you can also use. sshd has config options to limit who can do what in sshd_config. If you post back with more specifics about what you want to achieve, we can assist you better. As far as open ports, most of my systems only run sshd and cupsd. I've set AllowUsers in sshd_config to only allow my own non-root user to log in, and I've locked down cupsd.conf. However, one of my systems runs things like apache2, postfix, courier-imap, saslauthd, mysql, and sshd. I set them up to be secure when I installed them, but I wonder about the different users on my system (none of them with shell access) and their access to the different services. Should I go through each of these services and set up something similar to AllowUsers so that only certain users have access to certain services? Thanks a lot for going over this with me. More below Yes, that is the way of it. You really so need to attack each service individually and set it up appropriately. You can limit your exposure by removing most of those users from /etc/passwd if all services they need use virtual users. For instance, if people only need a pop mailbox, make them virtual users defined only in your pop server. Whether you can do this universally depends very much on your exact needs and how you like to set things up. Unix daemons are extremely flexible, this is their strength and weakness. Strength because you can always get exactly what you want somehow, weakness because there's no standard howto recipe On the subject of users, there are a lot of users in /etc/passwd, although most of them have /bin/false or /sbin/nologin. There are 8 users who have a different shell defined. The first 3 are fine: root /bin/bash user /bin/bash What is this? Looks like some generic catch-all account. That's usually a recipe for disaster as it's the kind of thing that gets forgotten. That OK, it's me. It's definitely not a standard user for any distro I've ever seen, so why do you have it? cart /bin/bash The next 3 are probably fine: sync /bin/sync shutdown /sbin/shutdown halt /sbin/halt But I don't recognize the following 2. Should I userdel them? operator /bin/bash guest /dev/null What are they used for? I've just done a huge project to clean up and centrally manage all users on all my servers (about 100 machines), so I learned some tricks to find redundant users: grep -r username /etc/* look at mailboxes look in crontabs ps axu | grep username lsof -u username find / -user username -ls sift through all these outputs looking for evidence of an account that is actually used. Again, there's no standard recipe. This kind of audit absolutely requires eyeballs and a brain OK, I've deleted 'operator' and 'guest'. mysql only needs to connect to a daemon running on the same system, and I think it does so via a unix socket as opposed to tcp.

Can someone possibly help me understand how to read this? Are there really application packages that cannot be installed at the same or is only about qt and possibly the USE flags I've got?

Thanks, Mark [snip] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#blocked [snip] This link was great help for me. Told me everything and how to read the blocker. So I did: #emerge -avC qt-4.3.3 #emerge -DuavN world (This installed qt-4.4.2) But now I do have a problem. When I run #emerge --depclean -av I receive the following output: [snip] These are the packages that would be unmerged: dev-db/sqlite selected: 2.8.16-r4 protected: none omitted: 3.6.6.2 x11-libs/qt selected: 4.4.2 protected: none omitted: 3.3.8b-r1 x11-libs/qt-svg selected: 4.4.2 protected: none omitted: none x11-libs/qt-opengl selected: 4.4.2 protected: none omitted: none x11-libs/qt-xmlpatterns selected: 4.4.2 protected: none omitted: none x11-libs/qt-assistant selected: 4.4.2-r1 protected: none omitted: none x11-libs/qt-webkit selected: 4.4.2 protected: none omitted: none What did I miss? This results in an infinite circle of unmerging and emerging. Thanks for any help kh In your /etc/make.conf file do you have the following line? EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS=--with-bdeps y You can do this on the emerge command line if you choose. See man emerge for info on doing that. I *think* the standard answer about why this happens is that --depclean and a basic emerge don't search all the dependencies exactly the same. If you add the --with-bdeps y option then they do. Anyway, I don't seem to run into this much using this in make.conf. Hope this helps, Mark using --with-bdeps=y would certainly work (and in the interest of full disclosure is what I do), but it shouldn't be necessary. Having emerge --depclean remove build dependencies should be ok. Afterwards, emerge -avuDN world should do nothing, as although the build dependencies for packages are missing, the world packages themselves don't need rebuilding, so there is nothing to do. Thus, there is no infinite rebuilding cycle, independent of the with-bdeps flag. Nick

I can understand that. I sort of operate that way. I think that there really is a next step which is when you hit a problem like this take a look at the Gentoo docs as well as write the list. I admit I often, or even mostly, write the list first, but I think most of this stuff is documented somewhere so it's a good thing to look at the docs also.

Do you have evdev installed? Without it, you probably won't have any keyboard or mouse. Recent xorg made dramatic changes to the way hardware is detected/configured by using HAL and evdev. xorg.conf is basically unused now when it comes to configuring hardware. I don't even have keyboard or mouse, or video modelines or anything like that in mine. Search the list archives or the gentoo web forums, there are many many people who had the same issues (assuming it's the cause of yours). Evdev is installed, but I configured the kbd driver (I have a MS Natural Keyboard, btw --- what's the best driver for that keyboard?). I still have an xorg.conf (and I'm not very inclined to change it as long as it works :-). Furthermore -- after the reboot everything worked again as before. It seems to have been some fluke, but I want to know where it comes from. TIA, Wolfgang Someone else like me. I still have my xorg.conf and want to keep it too. I don't have evdev installed but from the way it sounds, me and you may have to change in the future, maybe near future. I'm sort of wondering what pulls in evdev anyway? I got a fully running KDE and this is my new install. Nothing pulled it in here. I may be missing a USE flag or something. Let's hope this works for a while longer yet. ;-) Dale :-) :-) You need evdev in your INPUT_DEVICES variable (mine lives in make.conf). In my case I have: INPUT_DEVICES=keyboard mouse joystick evdev Well, I have it, I just juse kbd now. Is evdev better? BTW, I'm using a MS Natural Keyboard 4000 - there was a special gentoo wiki page for using this keyboard. Are there any special tips for this keyboard?
