[gentoo-ppc-user] mac-fdisk
I am installing Gentoo on a G4 and I am not going to boot a MacOS. Do I still need to partition with mac-fdisk or should I be using pmac-fdisk or simply fdisk?

Then went on to mention using authlib, without actually compiling any support for it or changing the config.

[gentoo-user] nautilus and autofs timeout problem
Hi all, I've set up autofs to mount floppy, cdrom and other devices, and some smb shares on /mnt/auto/*. When I enter to one of those dirs device is mounted but, as I set up timeout of 2 secends, nautilus changes dir to ~/ or just closes window after timeout. Is there a way to force nautilus to chdir and not just to ls it? I need timeout of 2 seconds so setting it to higher values is not a solution.

HTH, Holly That would make sense. I killed the processes that were running and still get this: Oy, I see it now. The problem is here [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # su dale When you su, the X server is refusing to allow the user (dale) to connect to the running X server (which is owned by root). Now the solution for this is something that I normally do in the other direction (to allow root to connect to the user's X server); and while I'm sure it will work in reverse, I myself wouldn't suggest it since I don't necessarily want to impinge on user privilege separation if the base user in question is root. So what I would say is firstly why are you running as root and su-ing to a user, rather than running as a user and su-ing to root, since there's no reason whatsoever to do it this way (it's certainly not more secure, in fact, much less so afaics). Secondly, does Mozilla open as the user logged in (whether that's root or dale) But anyway, what you need to do, iirc, is to copy ~/.Xauthority from the logged-in user's HOME folder to the folder of the user who is the target of su-- normally root, so this would mean copying from Dale's home to /root... but you're running as root, and I just don't like the idea of copying .Xauthority from the /root folder to dale's HOME. So I would suggest running as a user and copying the file from dale's home to /root, after which root should not receive this error (if in fact su-ing to root and running Mozilla does in fact generate this error, which it may very well not).

I was seeing that ldap can authenticate in a lot of types, like , databases, files, and PAM do some things like that too or am I wrong ? Yes, pretty much. But they're often structured at different layers - a service might call PAM for authentication which might then call LDAP, I think. PAM allows you to specify multiple authentication sources - such as / etc/passwd, other flat-file, or perhaps using WinBind to talk to a Windows Domain Controller. PAM is extremely flexible in managing these sources - I think, for example, it could require the username to be in one source but then authenticate the username:password against another source, or it can allow a user to log in via any one of multiple authentication mechanisms. LDAP authentication allows your users to login against a centralised database - the service they're logging into authenticates against the LDAP server. I don't really know much about LDAP and how it's managed but it offers centralised single-signon that PAM alone can't offer (although PAM could certainly be a _part_ of that).

You sit down to your computeryou see the login prompt. You type username, it asks for a password. you give it one. it (the getty program) then passes those credentials to pam. pam looks in it's list of authentication mechanisms to see in what order you'd like to try to authenticate. say it's ldap, then nis, then shadow. so it does a query to ldap using your username as a key to retrieve your encrypted password. it then compares what returns (assuming you are in the ldap db) with the encrypted form of what you typed. If it matches, pam checks to see if that's simply a required authentication, or a sufficient authentication. it is possible with pan to require more than one test be passed before saying okay. if more tests are required, or you don't pass that test, pam goes down it's list of other methods. typically, for instance, root is only in shadow NOT in ldap. so usually, users are allowed to fail the ldap (or nis) and be checked against shadow. usually, though, shadow is the authentication method of last resort. so pam is a framework into which multiple authentication methods can snap.

[gentoo-user] missing link to libXaw.so.8 after xorg 7,0 install
Hi, I have just installed modular X on my box and try to finalize it, but a few things are broke now and have to get rebuild. revdep-rebuild -p :::spits this out Checking dynamic linking consistency... broken /usr/bin/audemo (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/auedit (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/aupanel (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/auphone (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/autool (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/auwave (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/xapm (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/bin/xglyph (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/lib/transcode/filter_subtitler.so (requires libXaw.so.8) done. but neither executing ldconfig or just revdep-rebuild helps (in case of revdep-rebuild, it fails) to solve the problem.

[gentoo-user] dying hard drive?
I keep getting hard drive errors in my kernel log/dmesg that have me
worried. From /var/log/kernel/current:
Jan 13 11:42:31 [kernel] hda: dma_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete
DataRequest Error }
- Last output repeated 7 times -
Jan 13 11:42:39 [kernel] hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError },

Jan 13 11:42:40 [kernel] hda: dma_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete
DataRequest Error }
The drive is a 160 GB PATA Samsung. It's about two or three years
old, running 24x7 (although lightly). The drive has three
partitions, all are ext3.
When I started seeing the above messages, I ran
fsck.ext3 -f -v -c -c /dev/hda?
on all three partitions. Note that the -c flag includes the bad
blocks check.
I also ran
smartctl -t long /dev/hda
On the drive. Apparently, an error was found (details below). I'm
not sure if this drive is actually dying, though, as the following
article (by the smartmontools author) suggests that one or two
errors on a drive is nothing to worry about. Also, the SMART
overall-health self-assessment test comes back as PASSED.
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6983
But the constant kernel messages, along with the error in the long
SMART test, concern me. At this point, I'm not really sure what my
next steps should be, so I'm looking for any suggestions or advice.
Thanks!

You can mess around setting and exporting $DISPLAY, or you can use sux instead of su. sux is a shell wrapper for su that takes care of this.

On SuSE systems /usr/X11R6/bin/sux is just a symbolic link to /bin/su, I just tried it here and it works. The bad thing is that sudo sux does not work as in this case sux is called as root already.

If a program uses an instruction that the processor doesn't support, the program will be sent SIGILL, the default action of which is to terminate immediately. Are you absolutely positive of that? I *thought* (would have thought) compilers these days would compile in conditional use of such instructions? That way if large blocks could benefit from these new instructions, they would use them, otherwise fall back to a common set of instructions. Of course this wouldn't be very beneficial for small sections of code.

Do you run SMARTD? If you do, did it complain?
(grep SMART /var/log/everything/*)
Usually UncorrectablError means that some spots on your harddrive is
not readable. And if it keeps complaining, it might be a sign that
something is wrong with your drive. (Of course, it could also be flaky
connectors.)
Maybe you can take a look at
http://www.samsung.com/Products/HardDiskDrive/troubleshooting/index.htm
A lot of times you get one or two bad sectors due to environmental
issues: power blip for one, and my roommate slamming the door too hard
on his way out for another. If that is the case, most harddrive
vendors provide a diagnostic tool that allows you to map that couple
sectors to one of the backup ones on the disk. (Yes, they have a few
extra on the harddrive just for that purpose).
The drive is a 160 GB PATA Samsung. It's about two or three years
old, running 24x7 (although lightly). The drive has three
partitions, all are ext3.

Re: [gentoo-user] mozilla firefox 1.5 and gnome
Trenton Adams schreef: Hi everyone, I'm just curious about something. I installed mozilla-firefox-bin, and I got what I *thought* was the gnome open/save dialog. And I absolutely I can't stand that thing. So, I decided to compile mozilla-firefox for myself, as I have -gnome in my use flags. Well for some reason, I still have that open/save dialog. So, is that a gnome open/save dialog, or is it something else? Yes, as far as I know, it is (though I myself do have GNOME installed). Firefox depends on gtk: (from www.gentoo-portage.com ; the compile-it-yourself version used for clarity, since even the bin has to be originally compiled by someone): Runtime Dependencies mozilla-firefox-1.5-r9 |app-arch/unzip |app-arch/zip |dev-libs/expat |= dev-libs/glib - 2.8.2 |= dev-libs/libIDL - 0.8.0 |= media-libs/jpeg - 6b |= media-libs/libmng - 1.0.0 |= media-libs/libpng - 1.2.1 |= sys-libs/zlib - 1.1.4 |= www-client/mozilla-launcher - 1.42 |= www-client/mozilla-launcher - 1.39 |! x11-base/xorg-x11 - 6.7.0-r2 |= x11-libs/cairo - 1.0.0 === x11-libs/gtk+ - 2.8.6 |x11-libs/libXmu |x11-libs/libXmu |x11-libs/libXrender |x11-libs/libXrender |x11-libs/libXt |x11-libs/libXt | = x11-libs/pango - 1.10.1 |gnome = gnome-base/gnome-vfs - 2.3.5 |virtual/x11 |virtual/x11 |java virtual/jre Firefox is a GTK application, so it uses the GTK toolkit (as opposed to the QT toolkit, which KDE uses). GNOME is a GTK-based DE (as opposed to KDE which is QT-based). So the reason why the open/save dialogs are the same is because they use the same resources (GTK settings, many of which can be set in GNOME). I can't say if the extra features that I have because I have GNOME installed are present in your open/save dialog (bookmarked folders, for example). Is there going to be a way of NOT making it the standard open/save dialog when firefox 1.5 gets unmasked? Masking or unmasking is not going to change the source code, which depends on GTK. Only upstream can recode the program with a different toolkit. And that seems unlikely to happen, since it hasn't happened yet (and if the toolset was going to change, it probably would have before 1.0, not suddenly now when the release is finally stable enough to be picking up steam fast in the popularity stakes).

These mean the blocks are corrupt, and cannot be read. Whatever was
on those blocks is now lost.
On the drive. Apparently, an error was found (details below). I'm
not sure if this drive is actually dying, though, as the following
article (by the smartmontools author) suggests that one or two
errors on a drive is nothing to worry about. Also, the SMART
overall-health self-assessment test comes back as PASSED.
I was able to resurrect a drive with a similar problem with:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=32k
!DANGER! the above command will destroy all data on the drive...but by
writing to those sectors you can cause the drive to remap them to
sectors reserved for that purpose.
You can then check that the drive is working with:
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null bs=32k
If either command fails, then it is time to replace the drive. In my
case, that drive was still working perfectly 18 months later when I
sold it to someone else.
In any case, time to make sure you have a good backup.

I mean, honestly, look at the path below: [pid 6829] open(/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libXxf86misc.so.1, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I cannot imagine that there is any valid configuration that puts libXxf86 anything in /usr/lib/mozilla/*plugins*, of all places. I don't want to speculate on how this might have happened, but if I was you, I would 1) unmerge Mozilla completely (don't worry, your profile is in your ~/folder, so none of your personal settings or mail will be lost); 2) delete all /usr/lib/Mozilla folders 3) re-emerge X.org (yes I know, it takes forever, but clearly something is very seriously borked if Mozilla thinks that the X libs are in its own install folders, since the only one who would likely have told it that is X itself) 4) re-emerge Mozilla. 5) pray. HTH, Holly OK. I did do a emerge -C mozilla once. I even re-emerged xorg too. What about this: 1) emerge -C mozilla 2) delete the heck out of /usr/lib/Mozilla. :-) Maybe up arrow and hit return one more time for good measure. ;-) 3) emerge xorg one more time, for good measure. 4) emerge mozilla 5) Say prayer that it works, even though it has not worked yet. ;) That sound like a reasonable plan you think? Should I take out the gnome flag that I put back in my USE line? I thought that may have broke something because that was the last thing I changed. Should I really start looking at that hard drive you think? Something happened to those files. I didn't even know where they were until today. LOL I promise, I didn't do it.

If a program is compiled with sse or sse2 support on a Pentium II, will the program run slower than it otherwise would? (Some of the programs I have are compiled and then distributed to servers with different CPUs--P-IIs and P-IVs, mainly.) If a program uses an instruction that the processor doesn't support, the program will be sent SIGILL, the default action of which is to terminate immediately. Are you absolutely positive of that? I *thought* (would have thought) compilers these days would compile in conditional use of such instructions? That way if large blocks could benefit from these new instructions, they would use them, otherwise fall back to a common set of instructions. Of course this wouldn't be very beneficial for small sections of code. I've been wondering about this for quite some time though, but never bothered to investigate. I'm not _absolutely_ positive, but to do so would likely result in _slower_ code, maybe breaking even occasionally. Using C/C++ as the language: - blocks of multiply-compiled code can be no larger than a single fuction, as the compiler does not know what other functions call that function, and given current build systems, _cannot_ know. Exceptions: inline functions count where the function is inlined, and file-scope (static) functions can be optimized together, but only if they are only called by other file-scope functions, as the compiler can generate a complete list of callers. - the code must be recalculated and duplicated not just for each technology, but for each meaningful and distinct combination of technologies, meaning more conditionals and more branches (and larger code) - code size plays a large role in program performance. Many people report that gcc -Os often gives faster executables than gcc -O3 - How far back do you want to go? Each generation (and brand) of processors adds new technologies and techniques, and the fastest code for one processor may be the slowest for another. -- # # electronerd, the electronerdian from electronerdia # pgpIiINz58oPn.pgp Description: PGP signature
