Re: [gentoo-user] MySQL5 and Innodb not working
I'm using Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 on a x86_64 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz. I've added dev-db/mysql innodb berkdb to my package.use then I've run emerge -1 dev-db/mysql.

Re: [gentoo-user] MySQL5 and Innodb not working
mysql dies attempting to execute malformed, unknown, or privileged instructions. You should probably run # emerge --pretend --update --newuse --deep world # revdep-rebuild -i and see if this happens again. There's also no need to start from scratch when it dies. Try # /etc/init.d/mysql zap # /etc/init.d/mysql start HTH You'll find my mysqld.err in attachment. I must admin that I don't undersdand what all that mess mean. Do you understand anything? Thomas.

Where is the gentoo place of preference to launch my scipt after the gentoo runscipt '/etc/init.d/iptables' is finished running?

Re: [gentoo-user] mysql database getting too big

Can they be safely deleted/compressed or reduced in size somehow? I have run optimise table and the database itself is fine.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - Need help with NAT
I have been having trouble forwarding packets using iptables on my Gentoo box. I am no iptables expert. I connect to the internet using rp-pppoe. I use firestarter for firewalling. Yesterday I installed VMware and chose host only networking between the VMs. vmnet0 was bound to 192.168.128.1 and the rest of the subnet being 192.168.128.0/24. As should be obvious by now, I need to forward packets from ppp0 to vmnet0 and allow outbound packets as well. Add net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding = 1 to /etc/sysctl.conf and apply the setting by issuing sysctl -p as root. Issue the command: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING \ -o ppp0 \ --source 192.168.128.0/24 \ -j MASQUERADE also as root. You may also want to issue: iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT \ -p tcp \ --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \ -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu and possibly iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT \ -p tcp \ --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \ -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu as root to help control packet fragmentation. I believe the iptables init script should handle saving/restoring these rules on reboot. I have NO IDEA how to add these iptables rules to firestarter. You may also try to uncomment CLAMPMSS=1412 in /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf instead to see if this works with firestarter connection sharing settings. And you may try shorewall on your gateway/router as an alternative to firestarter. HTH, Sasha -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] unmerge meta packages problems
i'd like to ask you if it's possible to unmerge the dependencies of a meta package that installed automatic but have recorded in world file after a while. For example, i want to unmerge gnome-light but many dependencies have already re-emerged without oneshot option and have recorded in world file. So emerge -C gnome-light || emerge --depclean does not help anymore. You have to edit world file manually and remove everything but the packages you really need and then run emerge --depclean again.

Re: [gentoo-user] New To Gentoo and Emerge, No ACPI in Kernel
I'm very very new to Gentoo. I managed to squeak through a install from the live CD, however, this gave me a kernel with little or no ACPI support - I have a laptop, so I'd like to have this support enabled. However, I don't know how to rebuild the kernel, or do so enabling ACPI support. I only know a few precious things about emerge, like --sync, --search, and even --help, but beyond that I'm not that good at all, and the man pages didn't offer much help for me. There's a chapter on kernel config in Gentoo handbook: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml If LiveCD kernel works for you, you may use its config as a starting point for your custom kernel.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: bind zone.file won't load
Oh and do you see problems with the other solution proposed by Jo Are in this thread? 192.168/16? Not at all. But this is a training exercise, right? I don't need dhcp for 3 hosts on my network either:) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] bind zone.file won't load
Running an authoritative name server on a small home lan as training
exercise. And using DNS and Bind 4th ed as a guide.
A quick sketch of this network(There are more hosts on it
but for simplicity):
(All have prefix 192.168 and netmask 255.255.255.0)
INTERNET
| (Dynamic IP)
|
NETGEAR (consumer grade router)
reader | 0.20 fwobsd
--
| 0.4| 0.3 | 0.5| 0.19
|| ||
[ m1 ] [ m2 ] [ m3 ] [ m4 ]
| 1.2| 1.1
||
rdmz fwdmz
So I have two networks here.. 192.168.0/24 and 192.168.1/24
M1 and M4 both have 2 nics and addresses in 192.168.0 and 192.168.1
as shown... (if mail doesn't mangle my asci production too bad.)
My problem is how to integrate 192.168.1/24 into my zone.files
The reverse-pointer zone.file for 192.168.1 is where the rub is.
I'm very inexperienced with routing in general and nameservers in
particular setting up a home lan nameserver is a training
exercise for me.
Where I get confused is what is the origin `@' for this zone?
Can I use `@' or need to spell out 192.168.1?
What happens to my domain... `local.lan' does it still cover what are
now really two numeric domains 192.168.0 and 192.168.1?
Here's a reverse zone file for my home network. It's 10.10.0/24
but you'll figure out how to tailor this to your needs.
# cat pri/0.10.10.zone
;BIND DUMP V8

When it first came to my attention I was thinking at a cron job that triggered something, or a visitor. Even without any cron jobs running it's happening. And it is not visitor related. At least not as far as I can figure out true there IP-numbers and so on. I was thinking this because I had the impression that it happened on a regular basis, every two weeks or so. When I then stopped Apache for a few seconds and restarted Apache again everything was back to normal. I now have been uninstalling everything that I could miss for a while, even stopped Apache for several hours. No result. The only thing that happens is a very slow server. Did you change something in the apache configuration or anything else? Just a question. Has anyone experienced the fact that Apache is eating up all the server resources and filling all swap space? Where do I find the reason why? Or in what log-file do I look for what reason? The server runs a Drupal based site if that should matter. Only after restarting Apache it directly goes true the roof. As well as I am at the moment. To be honest, it runs on Debian. I know, I know, if only I had the nerves to install Gentoo on it from a distance.

Re: [gentoo-user] Apache ?!?
Hi William, You should also have the list of workers with the DOCUMENTS they are currently serving. If you don't, check if ExtendedStatus is On in httpd.conf.

Like max_execution_time, memory_limit, mysql.connect_timeout and so on if it's PHP. HTH, Sasha I have it running. I believe the lines that follow this one : Srv PID Acc M CPU SS Req ConnChild Slot Client VHost Request are the ones that are going to give me an answer.

That only takes about 2 minutes. And doesn't get filled with Apache not running. The CPU load doesn't rise higher then 5%. If I understand the lines at the bottom of the page.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - Why is Gentoo so slow when internet is out?
The local resolver lib will use either /etc/hosts file or dns queries in the order defined in your /etc/host.conf You mean /etc/nsswitch.conf? I probably do. Is /etc/host.conf still of any use? Actually, I'm not sure. I've always edited nsswitch.conf to get it to do what I want, with good results. I see with strace that when I ping somehost, both nsswitch.conf and host.conf are opened. The man pages don't reveal anything about their relationship, so I guess I'll have to take a look at the glibc sources tonight. As close as I can tell from reading the code (which is to say, I am making an only slightly educated guess), the 'order' keyword in host.conf is pretty much ignored by current glibc versions. Host.conf is only consulted by the libnss_files.so module, and then only for the 'multi' option. The order in nsswitch.conf is authoritative. This seems to be confirmed by a few strace ping attempts with various configurations.

Our cable internet service goes out frequently (and probably even more frequently now that winter has come to OKlahoma.) When it goes out, pretty much everything on my Gentoo system slows down. It's gotten to where just to get an application (like gnumeric) to open I have to su - to root and shut down /etc/init.d/net.eth0 until the Internet comes back on. This morning the internet was out and I'd shut down net.eth0 and then tried to run monodevelop and it refused to start giving me some message about my PC's hostname not being set correctly in /etc/hosts. I checked it and /etc/hosts was correct. Must just be a glitch with monodevelop. My question is what is it about Gentoo that relies so heavily on connecting to the internet? My network was running just fine - just the connection between the cable modem and the internet was down, but everything inside my router should have been fine... Do you have nscd running? Try to stop or restart it. It can be a real nuisance when internet connection goes down. It's also a good idea to run dns server locally if only to troubleshoot name resolution problems. HTH, Sasha I don't have a full DNS server for my domain. Each computer on my network has a copy of the same /etc/hosts file. Is there some way I can make it use that for DNS lookups locally? http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_setup_a_home-server may be of use though I've never tried dnsmasq myself. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE fails to start when coupled with firewall...
I have set up a set of rules with iptables so that the default policy of all tables is to block all communication if it's not specifically allowed in the given table. Now I'm wondering why KDE doesn't start when those rules are applicable. It always stops where it should be initializing services... What does it need the network for and why can't it stop probing if access is forbidden? ...And most of all, what could I do to make it all work? It makes sense to log the packets you drop to see what holes you may need to open in your firewall. As a minimum you have to allow traffic through lo interface.

Re: [gentoo-user] Yet another geforce4 problem
I've recently installed GeForce4 MX440 AGP 8x into my gentoo box and got it working. Bootsplash, opengl and so on.. But one serious problem remains. I have 90% chance to get garbled screen right after system reboot when bios is starting hw checks. The problem goes away after a random number of poweroffs. Is there a way to fix this? If you've upgraded the bios on the motherboard, then trash the motherboard. It's not doing a proper reset to the AGP bus. Other possibility is the chip on the MX440 is on the slow side of things and the reset is too short for it. Generally, the chip will eventually get slower as it ages and the problem will get worse.

Re: [gentoo-user] strange problem with kdm

Re: [gentoo-user] Intel 82865 owners - do you have X-Video support?
The driver's still marked as experimental. You have to enable development/incomplete drivers in kernel config first. You'd probably need to add intel_agp to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 later down the road. As for the copy I was just in make menuconfig, copied the area I was interested in and pasted it into gmail. I had to edit a few extraneous characters and then the mail looked like what I sent. Not too difficult but the editing did take about 60 seconds or so to clean it up. OK, I found it but I was tricked for a minute. Could you tell me what you are doing in terms of modules vs. built in? To get it to show up I had to choose: /dev/agpgart /dev/agpgart/Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8XX E7x05 chipset support (I was not choosing that before) /dev/agpgart/Intel i865 chipset support (I was choosing this as it is an i865 chipset...)
