[gentoo-user] gthumb gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `pixbuf != NULL'
Hi, I have emerged gthumb-2.6.5 on my machine. I have not noticed any errors during installation. However, when I start gthumb from the terminal, I get the following messages: (gthumb:24708): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed (gthumb:24708): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_height: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed (gthumb:24708): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed The application starts, but it always says No image in the thumbnails window. As I switch to a directory containing some jpegs from my camera, I get a bunch of additional messages: ** (gthumb:24708): CRITICAL **: gth_image_list_append_with_data: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed I didn't count, but I assume that the number of these messages is equal to the number of images in the directory. And the thumbnail window still says No image. Any suggestions? It appears to me that gthumb is unhappy about some dependency. All dependencies seem to be there. One more detail. The file browser on the left lacks folder icons. I have read some reports of similar problems with other Gnome applications using GTK and Gnome themes, but nothing that would suggest a solution for my problem. On my laptop, I have compiled Linux from scratch manually and gthumb has the same problem there. I use XFCE as window manager. I have not explicitly installed Gnome. Is that a problem? Does gthumb have some dependency which is not explicitly stated? Your help will be highly appreciated. Arkady.

which is all right. But, if I log in as root, I get the basic default

syntax of PS1 were incorrect, but I don't see that it is.
No, it's not incorrect, but if you wrote the exact same PS1 in the root
entry as in the user entry, perhaps you see that there's a 'literal'
dollar sign character at the end:
PS1=[EMAIL PROTECTED] \W]\$
which is going to be printed as itself, as you are not using any code to
change it to the 'correct' character based on user (perhaps bash thinks
you've escaped the closing bracket, not the following $. A space
between the bracket and the \$ might solve this, but I've never really
got /$ to work properly. It may, however, be because of the 'login shell
issue' -- see below, but basically, if you're using su and not su -, your
UID is not changing, so the /$ is not changing either).
Now, as to /etc/profile, /.bash_profile, and /.bashrc;
OK, this is a bit complex. /etc/profile should in fact provide the
default if no other is provided (bash_profile overrides, but since if a
bash_profile is provided, as it seems to be on Gentoo, it only contains
a little scriptlet that says look at (source) ~/.bashrc, making
~/.bashrc the
*real* override. This is how it works on my system, and this seems to be
a generally default behaviour, as I've seen it under all distros where I
tried to customize the bash prompt, as I usually do if I stick with the
distro for any length of time).
My gentoo /etc/profile says:
if [ -n ${BASH_VERSION} ] ; then
# Newer bash ebuilds include /etc/bash/bashrc which will setup PS1
# including color. We leave out color here because not all
# terminals support it.
if [ -f /etc/bash/bashrc ] ; then
# Bash login shells run only /etc/profile
# Bash non-login shells run only /etc/bash/bashrc
# Since we want to run /etc/bash/bashrc regardless, we
source it
# from here. It is unfortunate that there is no way to do
# this *after* the user's .bash_profile runs (without
putting
# it in the user's dot-files), but it shouldn't make any
# difference.
. /etc/bash/bashrc
else
PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED] \w \$ '
fi
else
# Setup a bland default prompt. Since this prompt should be useable
# on color and non-color terminals, as well as shells that don't
# understand sequences such as \h, don't put anything special in it.
PS1=[EMAIL PROTECTED] -n | cut -f1 -d.` \$
fi
So, if there's a /etc/bash/bashrc found, it is sourced under all
circumstances, but if for some reason that doesn't work (like why??) the
prompt is set at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] workdir appropriate_symbol_for_user_class
Fine.
If there is no /etc/bash/bashrc found (as in the case of using another
shell), I think that the prompt is set to be the same thing, but just
with different language, since as mentioned, every shell doesn't
understand bash sequences.
OK. So far so good.
So this tells us that the first thing you did 'incorrectly' was changing
/etc/profile, instead of /etc/bash/bashrc (or /etc/bashrc, if that's
where bash 2 puts it).
This fits with what I know, insofar as I know that bashrc (preferably in
~/) trumps everything, generally. So it makes sense to me that if you
don't have a .bashrc in your home, there's a default one in /etc that
basically trumps everything.
So let's look at /etc/bash/bashrc (I'm using bash 3.0). The relevant
entries would seem to be:
if ${use_color} ; then
if [[ ${EUID} == 0 ]] ; then
PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'
else
PS1='\[\033[01;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[01;34m\]\w \$
\[\033[00m\]'
fi
else
if [[ ${EUID} == 0 ]] ; then
# show root@ when we don't have colors
PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED] \W \$ '
else
PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED] \w \$ '
fi
fi
Fine, so if the user is root, and it's a color term, the prompt is
hostname short_path_to_workdir symbol (in this case presumably '#')
with colors, and if the user is not root, it's
[EMAIL PROTECTED] full_path_to_workdir symbol (in this case, presumably '$')
with colors.

As I said, the default ~/.bashrc contained a number of aliases, and because I use a lot of aliases, I worked with ~/.bashrc a lot (for both home and root). Using a lot of links (posted below) I was able to get a nice 3-line prompt that I like. I then copied the prompt to root's bashrc and made minor changes (the colors, mostly). and that was fine. Then I tackled the problem of the login shell. You see, ~/.bashrc is only sourced when you login (to the terminal, which, don't forget, is a virtual console). So if you're in the term as a user, and then you su normally to root, root's bashrc is not going to be sourced, and (among other issues) you're not going to get the right prompt (seemingly because your UID doesn't actively change to UID 0, but rather you remain the regular user with elevated permissions). 1. Your UID does change. See the experiment above. 2. .bashrc is sourced for ALL interactive shells. .bash_profile is sourced ONLY for login shells. So: opening an xterm sources .bashrc. Logging in remotely via ssh sources .bash_profile. 3. su opens an interactive shell. It DOES source .bashrc The solution to this is (for me, as I really like bash but am not all that good with it as yet, so any more 'elegant' solutions are unknown to me), is to make sure my su is always a login prompt (alias su=su -), so that root's bashrc is sourced when I su, so I can use root's aliases, 4. su - would open a login shell, and thus source .bash_profile instead of .bashrc and get root's $PATH, since there's nothing more annoying to me than su-ing to root and still getting a 'file not found' error because whatever I'm trying to do is still not in my $PATH, because root's PATH was somehow not exported by su-ing. I also added an ENV_SUPATH variable I would say something is borked on your setup. Be default, su would look in /etc/login.def for ENV_SUPATH and ENV_PATH for default PATHs for superusers and users respectively. Here there's also a difference between su and su -. su loads ENV_SUPATH from /etc/login.def, which by default is /sbin;/bin;/usr/sbin;/usr/bin. For su -. because it invokes a login shell, it should grab the path from /etc/profile, which in turn grabs it from /etc/profile.env, which is created by env-update from the information in /etc/env.d -- I've got a patent pending on swallowing, oxidation, and chewing gum.

I'd like to be able to run MIMEDefang, but it's milter only. and I don't think this is the place to discuss enhancements to postfix, go join postfix-user and discuss it with the developers. Which is why I marked the subject as OT. I didn't want to post to the postfix user yet because I didn't want to cast such a wide net; the smaller group of postfix users on this list would help me gauge whether to pursue fishing in the larger sea... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Portage question...
Hi all, I did an emerge -vuD world last week and, among other thing, it updated GCC from 3.3.5 to 3.3.6 (which seemed to be a good thing..) Today after an emerge --sync I wanted to re-update my system ... and I'm wondering why portage 'wants' to downgrade my version of GCC from 3.3.6 to 3.3.5... but also wondering why it suddenly wants to install giflib (which is blocked because of libungif...) The only thing I can do now to update the system is to add -gif in my make.conf file. Is there any other way to solve the giflib/libungif conflict ? What makes portage want to install giflib ? Can someone tell me what I missed ? In advance thank you. Yann Garnier -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: Any interest in a postfix/milter bridge?
Dave, Having investigated the milter API and having constructed some milters myself, I currently believe that it should be possible to build a postfix-milter bridge. That would be fantastic. I think you would get tons of support for this. I would also love to run MIMEDefang and domain keys milters, etc. that aren't available on pure Postfix. You should definitely post this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] where you'll get more enthusiastic responses like my own, and maybe some guidance from the developers. --- Chris Covington IT Plus One Health Management 75 Maiden Lane Suite 801 NY, NY 10038 646-312-6269 http://www.plusoneactive.com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

So again I'll quietly ignore the things I don't care about and you will do the same. However adding milter support to Postfix may not be the magic bullet. Milters take this path through Sendmail mail queue - milter - delivery | /dev/null | whatever Postfix content filters take this path. mail queue - cfilter - mail queue - etc Allowing people to run what are normally very efficient milters within Postfix may allow a few admins to shoot themselves in the foot performance-wise.

[gentoo-user] LDAP authentification and management
I'm still trying to set up OpenLDAP here. For some reason, SASL doesn't
work, but from the error message I guess it has to do with a missing
entry in the LDAP database itself:

I *can* use ldapi{search,add} with the -x parameter though, so I suppose
if I add sasl off to /etc/ldap.conf (which I did for now), I should be
fine as I'll be using SSL with mutual authentication anyway.
Migrating the old server's data seems to have worked after I found that
you cannot just copy another machine's passwd file and migrate that
as the migrationtools will get the password hash from getpwuid(3) which
will fail if the account isn't on your machine. Maybe this should be
added to the guide -- a careful look would have told me, as there is no
mention of the shadow file, but who looks carefully when following a
guide? :)
So, pam_ldap and nss_ldap are in place and PAM seems to be OK. I still
cannot log in due to some nsswitch problem apparently:

Hm. Shouldn't nss_ldap use the URI specified in /etc/ldap.conf to talk
to the server? I'm at a loss here.
Oh, and BTW: is there a way to allow high-ASCII characters in LDIF
files? We happen to have a few users with umlauts in their names and
not being able to retain them would be even more backwards than NIS...

I also added an ENV_SUPATH variable I would say something is borked on your setup. Be default, su would look in /etc/login.def for ENV_SUPATH and ENV_PATH for default PATHs for superusers and users respectively. Here there's also a difference between su and su -. su loads ENV_SUPATH from /etc/login.def, which by default is /sbin;/bin;/usr/sbin;/usr/bin.

I suspected dodgy CPU or memory, so played with the cpuburn package. Curiously I found that running MMXburn (I think it was called) for a minute or so vastly extended how far into a build emerge would get.

I don't do any automated emerges (that seems extremely dangerous to me). I only emerge sync via crontab every night.

I did change my USE=nptl nptlonly -cups -debug acpi wifi mysql php apache2 mmx sse and added those 'nptl' and 'nptlonly' and followed a gentoo howto (which involved an 'emerge --newuse').

[gentoo-user] ati-drivers: bad md5 sum
Hi !! I'm trying to do an emerge -vuD world, but I just can't. For my surprise someone put into portage a bad MD5 sum for ati-drivers. Portage just tells that sizes don't match... so I can't update it... damn. Is the first time that this happens to me...

Hi List,
Been looking on forums.gentoo.org looking for a way to pair two NIC's so
that should the primary fail, the secondary takes over...
The situation is this:
8 HP DL380G4's all running Gentoo moving into a data centre rack, the
firewall is currently a Netscreen(Juniper) 25 and another will be added
to give us Active/Passive failover on the firewalls.
Redundant switches will be added behind the firewalls to ensure that is
not a single point of failure, all the DL380 have two NIC's in them and
currently only one is active.
All boxes covered with HP on a 24x7x4 Carepaq, redundant power supplies
to be added - DC is a N+1 so fine there...
Biggest issue I am facing and becoming lost on is teaming the NIC's so I
can connect NIC1 to Switch 1 and NIC2 to switch 2 etc...
Can anyone help ?

- the return to normality script that once eth0 work again for some

- A lock that prevent the script to start if the interface is switched

There were some rules to not switch every five minutes in case the primary line was having a bout of intermittent problems. I think I left the secondary up for at least 30 minutes if ever it was switched to. The active monitor reported loss of the currently active line and what it was doing about it, especially if it was the secondard i/f and the primary was still flagged as failing.

As I switch to a directory containing some jpegs from my camera, I get a bunch of additional messages: ** (gthumb:24708): CRITICAL **: gth_image_list_append_with_data: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failedI didn't count, but I assume that the number of these messages is equal to the number of images in the directory. And the thumbnail window still says No image. Any suggestions? It appears to me that gthumb is unhappy about some dependency. All dependencies seem to be there. One more detail. The file browser window in gthumb lacks folder icons. I have read some reports of similar problems with other Gnome applications using GTK and Gnome themes, but nothing that would suggest a solution for my problem. On my laptop, I have compiled Linux from scratch manually and gthumb has the same problem there. I use XFCE as window manager. I have not explicitly installed Gnome. Is that a problem? Does gthumb have some dependency which is not explicitly stated? Your help will be highly appreciated. (This is a my second e-mail on this topic. The first one had no response for some reason and I am not sure if it has reached the list).Arkady.
[gentoo-user] MPPE
Hey, is there any way to get mppe into any of the kernels currently in portage? The howto in the wiki is for a kernel that I don't see... there don't seem to be any ebuilds... it also seems that other patches have been applied to the kernel that make it fail to build if I apply the patch referenced on kerneltrap. Seems as though this will be in the kernel soon, but it would help me if soon were... like today. -- Justin W. Hart -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] hardware advice for dual-processor set-up on gentoo
On Mon, 12 Sep 2005 23:47:11 -0500 Denis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I guess the other advantage is that a good dual Xeon system with 4GB RAM will run me around $3000, whereas a dual Opteron (with dual core) system with 4GB RAM will run me more like $4300. If the Opterons are currently at their memory bandwidth limit, I will have spent the $4300 for nothing, especially since I need the fastest memory integration I can get for my codes. Would I be better buying a dual Xeon system if I needed to buy right now instead of waiting for the bandwidth issue to be resolved? Careful with the dual Xeon - Intel has numerous chipsets. Some better than the other. Unless you spend hours studying the difference, you may end with much older tech for your money. Also, you might be better off now with a 2P Opteron, single core, than an Intel setup. It's less expensive. And, as you're crunching a lot of numbers, the Opteron's faster throughput in the FPU may offset and bandwidth limitation. Only you can tell if your app is more cpu/fpu bound or more memory bound. You might want to emerge - app-admin/sysstat, and characterize your app's system usage and use that to decide which arch features are important to you. Another thing to consider - Intel shares the memory/FSB. Each Opteron has access to a full 6.4 GB/s memory bandwidth, as long as the data set remains with that cpu. Should the data set or data have to come from a non-local memory bank, there will be a delay. So even with a slower memory bus, the Opteron could be faster overall. It depends on what resources your app uses. Bob - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Question regarding trick portage.mask situation
I've been having serious problems with newer versions of gentoo-sources (basically 2.6.12-r9 and 2.6.12-r10), so I have downgraded to 2.6.12-r4, which is rock solid for me. So, I thought to add something like this atom to /etc/portage/package.mask: sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r4 However, what I really want to to is mask all versions of gentoo-sources greater than 2.6.12-r4 and less than or equal to 2.6.12-r10, so that I can test newer versions of gentoo-sources beyond 2.6.12-r10 when they become available. So, what I really want is something like this: sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r4 =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r10 Of course, this syntax doesn't work and spits out an Invalid atom error when I run emerge. Does anyone know the proper syntax for what I want to achieve? Is it even possible to acheive this? Thank you for the help in advance, Matt As an aside, I think this latest instability with new versions of gentoo-sources has to do with problems using older versions of the nvidia drivers with newer kernel versions. Unfortunately, I cannot upgrade my nvidia drivers because my Geforce2 GTS is officially unsupported by the latest drivers. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Everything was working fine until I did an upgrade using 'emerge -uvD world' followed with 'revdep-rebuild'. Now nvtv seg faults when I first attempt to run it. Additional attempts result in this error message: Fatal: Cannot access video cards. Either you are not root, or the NVidia devices are not accessible. I get the same message when attempting to run as root. I've tried removing and reinstalling both nvtv and nvidia-kernel but no joy. I'm new to Gentoo and Linux but do have a bit of a *nix background with FreeBSD. Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Drew I ahve seen a few messages here from you about mythtv related stuff. Although I have no problem at all with you posting here, you may get better results on the mythtv-user list. You can sub from a link on www.mythtv.org Thanks for the tip. I do post there when my issue is directly related to MythTV. I just felt this was more of a Gentoo thing as my issues started after a emerge -uvD world. It is a busy list, quite knowledgeable. As for nvtv, are you actually using the nvidia driver? - do you get the nvidia splash screen when you start X? Yes, I am using the latest (I have ~x86 set) nvidia-kernel driver from portage as I was before upgrading. I've read that many times the nvidia-kernel driver has to be recompiled after an upgrade. I think it's just when upgrading the actual kernel but I recompiled anyway just to check. It didn't help. I also recompiled nvtv from portage but no help there either. I also have TightVNC installed on this box and normally start a session on :1. In checking this further, it is interesting that nvtv starts fine when using :1 via the TightVNC viewer if X is not running on :0. However once X is on :0, that's when the seg faults start. Maybe I have a problem with my X config. BTW, I'm using xorg. Oh, and yes, I do see the nvidia splash screen when starting X on :0. Thanks for your help! Although I come from the FreeBSD world, I'm a noob when it comes to both Linux and Gentoo (and MythTV for that matter). Drew -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Help. /djb I think he's referring to the factory created restore partition. Just my 2¢, I don't think having /boot on /dev/sda2 is a problem, as long as grub knows where to look, and you are able to update your MBR. Another thing, if this partition is what I think it is, it's meant to be a recovery mechanism for WinBlows systems. Probably configured for DOS. ;-) So, if you're going to run gentoo on that system, I doubt that you would run into any major problems.
