So lxde-meta requires lxsession-edit and lxsession, but lxsession lists

Looks like the lxsession-0.4.9.2 ebuild was updated and not catered for
in the -meta ebuild

I'm having a hard time figuring out how that change got committed as
quite obviously it could not have been tested - all ~arch lxde users
will get this blocker every time ...

[gentoo-user] what about my routing here ...

on the router ipfire (which is 10.96.25.129 on its LAN-side)

# ip r s

no specific routes on there

The route should go via 10.96.25.1 for targets in  172.32.99.0/24 as
well ...

I don't get where it gets 10.96.25.2 from *scratch*

This routing issue might be the problem with my libvirt-connections (see
other current thread).

Even when I do

# ip route add 172.32.99.12/32 via 10.96.25.1

on the router (explicit route for my desktop IP) the traceroute still shows:

What about googling for xkill linux.
E.g.  xkill sometimes is the only possiblity to kill a process which  
keeps a window open.
Just enter xkill in an XTerm, it will ask you to click into the window  
which you want to close.

 Anyone see a problem with that (only 5GB free on my / after the /usr merge)?

I understand the need to get up nerve.  That was the hardest part for
me, and took by far, the most time.  I did *not* have room in / for /usr
but *did* have an online external disk on the machine with lots of room
(Alan's what I should have done scheme).  I could afford downtime so I
did everything booted from an installation CD so that nothing would
change.

1.  Booted minimal installation CD
2.  Copied my 5 lvs (/usr, /opt, /var, /tmp, /local) 
and my / to the external disk and called them old-root, old-usr,
old-opt, old-var, old-tmp, old-local.
3.  Repartitioned the internal disk to make root bigger.
4.  Created the vg and pv (I have just one of each).
5.  Created the 5 filesystems (root, /opt, /var, /tmp, /local), with the
last 4 on LVM
6.  Copied old-root to / and old-usr to /usr
7.  Mounted the 4 lvs and copied old-opt to /opt, old-var to /var, ...

Reboot

It worked.

Notes.

1.  I had grub in the MBR so that didn't change
2.  The root fs remained the same partition number (/dev/sda3),
so didn't have to change grub.
3.  In fact /dev/sda3 maintained the same starting location in the new
partitioning scheme, but I don't think that was relevant.

 Yeah, that's the way to do it. However, kerninst is not for testing
 different configurations of kernels. I suppose you could use it that
 way, but I wrote exactly for the opposite case: when you finally have
 your configuration nailed down, and just want to automatize the
 installation of the kernel.

Another suggestion would be to make the script save the config via git
every time it is executed (and there is a difference).

Just an idea ;-)

If you don't already use them, they probably aren't that useful to you :)

But you can read man pages at http://linux.die.net - there are other

 Agreed.  Virtual addresses refer to those in the program (really

 PAE (*physical* address extension) enables more RAM to be accessed (by

 When pdp-11s added I and D space, that increased the virtual address

libpng16 is a library you already have on your system (not bundled with
scilab). And strangely, this *system* library is complaining that it
can't find the correct version of libz. These libs have names (sonames)
so you can tell different versions apart and use the right one.

But the system libpng has no business trying to use a third party app
under any circumstances. And in fact in regular use it doesn't, see mine:

$ ldd /usr/lib64/libpng16.so.16
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x7fff7d79a000)
libz.so.1 = /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x7ff9ad6ab000)
libm.so.6 = /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x7ff9ad3b5000)
libc.so.6 = /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x7ff9ad00a000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7ff9adb3c000)

See? system libpng uses system libz.

How does this happen? Easy. The authors of scilab are probably fiddling
with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which just happens to be one of the more dangerous
things you can do in Unix.

Go find the startup script for scilab and edit the mods to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to put the scilab directory at the end (not the
beginning where it is now)

That virt-manager-issue is still there but at least the basic
performance seems way better now.

I could transfer the KVM-raw-image to an LVM-LV within a few minutes ...
the same dd-command took hours before and never succeeded.

Some more tests now.

Re: [gentoo-user] Error with version of libraries with scilab

  Hello.
  
  I have installed the *binary distribution of scilab* available form its
  download page.
  
  About two months ago, I was using it without problems.
  
  Now it does not work anymore. Running the binary gives the following
  error message:
  
  $ /alt/scilab-5.4.1/bin/scilab
  scilab-bin: /alt/scilab-5.4.1/lib/thirdparty/libz.so.1: version 
  `ZLIB_1.2.3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libpng16.so.16)
  
  I need helping understanding this message and fixing this issue on my
  ~amd64 system.
 
 libpng16 is a library you already have on your system (not bundled with
 scilab). And strangely, this *system* library is complaining that it
 can't find the correct version of libz. These libs have names (sonames)
 so you can tell different versions apart and use the right one.
 
 But the system libpng has no business trying to use a third party app
 under any circumstances. And in fact in regular use it doesn't, see mine:
 
 $ ldd /usr/lib64/libpng16.so.16
 linux-vdso.so.1 (0x7fff7d79a000)
 libz.so.1 = /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x7ff9ad6ab000)
 libm.so.6 = /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x7ff9ad3b5000)
 libc.so.6 = /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x7ff9ad00a000)
 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7ff9adb3c000)
 
 See? system libpng uses system libz.
 
 How does this happen? Easy. The authors of scilab are probably fiddling
 with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which just happens to be one of the more dangerous
 things you can do in Unix.
 
 Go find the startup script for scilab and edit the mods to
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH to put the scilab directory at the end (not the
 beginning where it is now)

In fact the startup script for scilab sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Running it
in verbose modes gives this information:

I will try to modify the script to put the scilab directory at the end.

By supervision do you mean restarting a service after it crashes, for example?

Or something else completely?




Re: [gentoo-user] what about my routing here ...

2013-10-09 Thread Adam Carter
There might have been a icmp redirect from 10.96.25.1 telling ipfire that
there's a better way to get to that network, and its via 10.96.25.2.

On my system it seems to be off by default (I havent set it in
/etc/sysctl.conf) which makes sense as redirects can be used for MITM
attacks.
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/accept_redirects
0

 no specific routes on there

 The route should go via 10.96.25.1 for targets in  172.32.99.0/24 as
 well ...

 I don't get where it gets 10.96.25.2 from *scratch*

 This routing issue might be the problem with my libvirt-connections (see
 other current thread).

 Even when I do

 # ip route add 172.32.99.12/32 via 10.96.25.1

 on the router (explicit route for my desktop IP) the traceroute still
 shows:

 Any hints on this?
 I need a vacation, btw ;-)

 And the best: I do this via ssh, so I am already connected ... which
 means I get packages back ...
