Re: [gentoo-user] OT: mount so that other users can write to mounted dir?
On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 02:42:46AM +0200, Alan McKinnon wrote What filesystem is on that stick? For vfat and ntfs what you are truing should work. For Unix file systems (ext*, reiser, etc), it will not work. You cannot override owners and permissions with the mount command on those. Thanks. That does make sense. I wouldn't want my regular user account to be able to do stuff to root's files on my external backup (reiserfs). Experimentation confirms that posix/linux filesystems mount with the mountpoint being user:root and group:root when mounted or pmounted by root. FAT32 etc mounts as user:root and group:plugdev. Making my user account a member of the plugdev group, and pmounting with umask 007 allows me to do whatever I want to files on the USB stick. So I guess FAT32 has its uses. One last sticking point is manual unmounting. You obviously want to unmount properly before disconnecting a USB key or drive, if you've done any writing to it. If the pmount is done as root, pumount or umount has to be done as root. What's the proper sudoers wildcard syntax for unmounting a mountpoint under /media? Does this look OK? waltdnes d531 = (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/umount /media/sd[a-z][1-9] -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org

[gentoo-user] wpa_supplicant annoyances (mask_service_inactive)

Sometimes I have to kill everything related to wpa_supplicant and restart the net.wlan0 service, while I cross my fingers in the hope to reach the internet. But what annoys me the most is the fact that many important services do not start because they depend on net.wlan0, which spits out these errors disrupting the init process. I've been using this for some time now, and I changed the config a lot of times. Always had problems. The last time I set this up I removed everything from /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant, and let it did it's automatic job instead. So far, it's working... some random times.

I've also compiled that program chroot-ed in this stage 3 fs from my personal computer. I have an other thin clients which have older system (B) on it which is older linux kernel 2.6.16.27. Library version which are needed are of course different and for that reason my program can not be run in this sistem. System A: Linux redondo 2.6.39.4 #18 Mon Mar 19 13:14:32 CET 2012 i586 i586 i386 GNU/Linux /lib/libc-2.12.2.so gcc version 4.0.3 System B: Linux carlos 2.6.16.27 #1 Sun Mar 25 11:09:40 CEST 2007 i586 i586 i386 GNU/Linux /lib/libc-2.3.6.so gcc version 4.0.3 Shared libraries that my binary uses are (in system A): linux-gate.so.1 = (0xe000) libpthread.so.0 = /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf76d6000) libuuid.so.1 = /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0xf76d1000) libstdc++.so.6 = /usr/lib/gcc/i486-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.5/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf75da000) libm.so.6 = /lib/libm.so.6 (0xf75b2000) libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf7468000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf76f3000) libgcc_s.so.1 = /usr/lib/gcc/i486-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.5/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7449000) If i try to compile my program using '-static' directive, I still have a problem with 4 functions: -initgroups, -getpwnam, -getaddrinfo, -gethostbyname. If I got that right, they use functions which are located in NSS shared libraries. I am looking for a way of compiling my program so that I can run it in system B. I have libraries available from system B and that is all that I have. I need help on getting this done. I guess gcc versions are the same and as well libgcc_s.so.1 shared library. My questions are: Can I pull those libraries from system B and use it in compilatin process? Would that work? I would still need to get include source files of that version, right? Is there some archive site where I can find so old version of linux kernel source? One thing that pops in to my mind is also trying to find gentoo stage 3 tarball of the kernel version 2.6.16.27 and compile the program there...I tried to search that but no luck in that... Any help would be welcomed! You can statically compile your program on system A ( use gcc -static -o test test.c for example ). Then you should be able to run it in system B without any problem Why don't you want to compile the program in system B if you already have the libraries around?
[gentoo-user] media-tv/mythtv-0.24.1_p20110524 fails to emerge

Thanks Salvatore, and thanks everyone.
Finally I got it solved by follow Salvatore's suggestion. I am using the
bumblebee project.
there are still some other minor problems solved before success running
bumblebee.
The vgl init script doesn't work on xdm. the xauth section should have a
update. the start function of /etc/init.d/vgl was updated. paste here for
anyone may need it.
start() {
ebegin Starting VirtualGL
truncate --size=0 /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key
# Check if XAUTHORITY was set successfully, if not wait a bit and let X

[ -z $XAUTHORITY ] sleep 3 set_xauth

xauth -f /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key add $DISPLAY . $i \
chmod 644 /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key
done
eend $?
}
and i915(and its modsetting ) is required for my intel onboard card, but we
have to disable all framebuffer driver options before going that.
else the screen will get blank during boot stage.
