One builds a data graph that represents dependencies, when finished you are guaranteed that if the graph is read from the bottom up then your conditions are met. Elementary my dear Watson, we cover this in first year Comp Sci courses This could be especially ugly for my new system installs. I usually install text-console mode only, followed by emerge gimp, which pulls in X and a whole bunch of other stuff as dependancies. Portage handles this process very well right now.

[gentoo-user] S/MIME passphrase problem with Kleopatra
In the last two weeks I renewed an SSL certificate from Comodo for email usage. This time round Kleopatra is having problems with recognising the passphrase I use. I partially suspect a gnupg bug here probably relating to mime characters, but I am not sure how to troubleshoot it. This is a sequence of events that show how the problem occurs: I export the SSL cert from Firefox as a pkcs12 file. It asks for a passphrase to encrypt it with. It will accept my passphrase and saves the exported .p12 bundle as a file on my hard drive. Then I try to import this into Kleopatra. This is what I have come across here: If I have used a short passphrase when exporting from Firefox (say 8 characters long) there's no problem importing it into Kleopatra. If I use a long passphrase then it fails every time: Please enter a passphrase to unprotect the PKCS#12 object. p4ssPhr4se An error occurred while trying to import the certificate - Decryption failed. The log shows: == [2010-05-12T19:51:45] Log cleared 6 - 2010-05-12 19:52:12 gpg-agent[13563]: failed to unprotect the secret key: Bad passphrase 6 - 2010-05-12 19:52:12 gpg-agent[13563]: failed to read the secret key 6 - 2010-05-12 19:52:12 gpg-agent[13563]: command pksign failed: Bad passphrase 6 - 2010-05-12 19:52:12 gpg-agent[13563.6] DBG: - ERR 67108875 Bad passphrase GPG Agent 4 - 2010-05-12 19:52:12 gpgsm[16759]: error creating signature: Bad passphrase GPG Agent 4 - 2010-05-12 19:52:12 gpgsm[16759.0] DBG: - ERR 67108875 Bad passphrase GPG Agent 4 - 2010-05-12 19:52:12 gpgsm[16759.0] DBG: - BYE 4 - 2010-05-12 19:52:12 gpgsm[16759.0] DBG: - OK closing connection [client at fd 4 disconnected] 5 - 2010-05-12 19:52:12 dirmngr[16760.0] DBG: - [EOF] 6 - 2010-05-12 19:52:12 gpg-agent[13563.6] DBG: - [EOF] 6 - 2010-05-12 19:52:12 gpg-agent[13563]: handler 0xbf04c0 for fd 6 terminated [client at fd 5 disconnected] == Now, as I said above if I use a short passphrase to encrypt the certificate bundle when exporting it from Firefox, I manage to import it into Kleopatra and then I can re-encrypt it with either with the same short passphrase or with a longer passphrase. Kleopatra will accept any length at that stage and import it happily. However, even if I import it into Kleopatra I can't use it thereafter! Every time I try to use it in Kmail to sign/encrypt/decrypt a message it will fail when I enter the passphrase. :-( I have tried to convert the exported pkcs12 file into a pem bundle, but Kleopatra then fails to import it right from the start with a BER error - it doesn't even ask for a passphrase to decrypt it: == [2010-05-07T22:24:22] Log cleared [client at fd 4 connected] 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692]: enabled debug flags: assuan 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - # Home: ~/.gnupg 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - # Config: /home/michael/.gnupg/gpgsm.conf 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - # AgentInfo: /tmp/gpg-yRFiu9/S.gpg-agent:13728:1 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - # DirmngrInfo: [not set] 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - OK GNU Privacy Guard's S/M server 2.0.14 ready 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - OPTION display=:0.0 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - OK 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - OPTION enable-audit-log=1 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - OK 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - INPUT FD=21 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - OK 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - IMPORT 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692]: invalid radix64 character 2d skipped 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692]: invalid radix64 character 3a skipped 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692]: invalid radix64 character 2c skipped 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692]: invalid radix64 character 2d skipped 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692]: invalid radix64 character 3a skipped 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692]: invalid radix64 character 2d skipped 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692]: total number processed: 0 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - S IMPORT_RES 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - ERR 150995078 BER error KSBA 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - BYE 4 - 2010-05-07 22:24:25 gpgsm[14692.0] DBG: - OK closing connection [client at fd 4 disconnected] == Any idea why Kleopatra fails with this new Comodo certificate?

[gentoo-user] identical drives, different free space!
Hi, I have two 160Gb drives, one internal and one USB. I've partitioned them the same and created an identical filesystem on the USB drive for backing up my internal drive. I'm using the following rsync command to make the backup: sudo /usr/bin/ionice -c 3 /usr/bin/rsync -aAx --exclude suspend_file --delete --delete-excluded --partial --human-readable / /media/root-backup however, after running this command sporadically for a few days, the USB partition is now full, whereas my root partition isn't! sda is internal, and sdd is external. sda7 is the one I'm interested in: $ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0080 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 11 883266 FAT16 /dev/sda2 * 12487539070080b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda348764888 104422+ 83 Linux /dev/sda44889 19457 117025492+ 5 Extended /dev/sda54889732119543041 83 Linux /dev/sda673227384 506016 83 Linux /dev/sda77385 1945796976341 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdd: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x5d5d0036 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdd1 1 11 883266 FAT16 /dev/sdd2 12487539070080b W95 FAT32 /dev/sdd348764888 104422+ 83 Linux /dev/sdd44889 19457 117025492+ 5 Extended /dev/sdd54889732119543041 83 Linux /dev/sdd673227384 506016 83 Linux /dev/sdd77385 1945796976341 83 Linux I just deleted a bunch of /var/tmp and distfiles to free up some space, and ran the rsync again. Now it looks like this: $ df -h FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 92G 81G 6.1G 93% / /dev/sdd7 92G 89G 4.6M 100% /media/root-backup /dev/sda3 99M 39M 55M 42% /boot /dev/sdd3 99M 39M 55M 42% /media/boot-backup I'm doing the /root backup from cron, but the /boot backup manually when I make changes. I thought perhaps the ext3 options were different (ie. different amount of reserved space) but that would make the Avail columns different, and shouldn't make the Used columns different. any thoughts as to why my USB partition is full? thanks, -- Iain Buchanan iaindb at netspace dot net dot au Most people have two reasons for doing anything -- a good reason, and the real reason.

Just out of curiousity, is there a way to determine previous system uptime. I know I was getting close to 11 months, which would be a record for me. The system logs boot and login dates in /var/log/wtmp, the last command shows the content of this binary file. last | grep system boot | head Hope you broke the record, Wonko fes...@localhost ~ $ last | grep system boot reboot system boot 2.6.28-gentoo-r5 Thu May 13 16:39 - 17:30 (00:51) OK, so after looking at man last, I tried fes...@localhost ~ $ last reboot reboot system boot 2.6.28-gentoo-r5 Thu May 13 16:39 - 17:30 (00:51) wtmp begins Sat May 1 08:23:36 2010 which doesn't really help much. Any other ideas, festus Damn - log-rotate cleans wtmp monthly -- It is not unusual for those at the wrong end of the club to have a clearer picture of reality than those who wield it.

I haven't done the math to say that it is, just curious. Also, I have logrotate set to rotate mine. I delete them after a while or when I need disk space. They do consume space after a while.

Re: [gentoo-user] identical drives, different free space!
Are you doing a full recursive copy of / from rootfs for sdd7 (aka cp -r /) if so, are the other partitions mounted as well?
