[gentoo-user] What's the use of mozilla-launcher?
Hello! A while back, I discovered that mozilla-launcher is causing problems, when the URL contains a , (comma); eg. http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,447923,00.html In Knode/KDE, I configured, that firefox is to be used as the browser, so that when I click on a URL, it's loaded in firefox. I did this by modifying .kde/share/config/kdeglobals and adding/changing: [General] BrowserApplication=!/usr/bin/firefox That can also somehow be done with kcontrol. This works well - when I click on a URL, /usr/bin/firefox is run with one parameter, which is the URL. But if the URL contains a comma (like the example URL further up), that site isn't correctly loaded. Instead of http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,447923,00.html it would load http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,447923. Reason is, that firefox executes mozilla-launcher which will eventually run mozilla-xremote-client openURL($u). The problem with that is, that openURL accepts two parameters and they are seperated with a ,. So it sees two parameters: http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,447923 and 00.html - 00.html is not a valid parameter, though. It should be something like new-window. When I use the original Firefox from mozilla.com, there's no such problem. That is so, because the original firefox script doesn't use openURL anymore. I now changed the /usr/bin/firefox script so, that it doesn't use mozilla-launcher anymore. Up to now, I can't find any problems. What problems did I overlook? And what's actually the use of mozilla-launcher with current firefoxes? What would break, if mozilla-launcher is no longer used? Cf. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150404 Or should I take this thread and purpose (ie. dump mozilla-launcher for at least firefox) to the dev list?

Somewhere in between i got two SYS... messages. After a reboot the install completes and seems to be ok now.

I have the package vmware-server-console also installed. This is needed to get the mnagement tool (i.e. the window like vmware workstation). 2) I notice that sys-libs/pam is loaded as a dependancy. I don't mind the file sitting there, being used by vmware. Does it just affect vmware? If pam kicks in for other programs, it's a showstopper for me. VMware server is a two-part application. A user interface (vmware server console) and the daemon (vmware server). They are communicating via the network. As i see it there must be an user authentication and this is done via pam. As feature you get now the ability to run the console on an other machine (which don't need much resources). This may be a Win or Linux PC.

[Yes/No] no xinetd needed for the network communication, pam for the authentication.

Why are they doing it? Does this make any sense to you? The new drivers don't replace the old ones, at present time. But are they planned to? Or do they just exist for the fun of it ? yes, they will replace the old drivers at some point in the future. And they don't exist just for the fun of it. ide is in a horrible state for many, many years. And every attempt to 'fix' it, went very wrong. libpata is the latest attempt to clean up the mess.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Basic Vmware setup
Workstation allows you to create snapshots of a setup and then create clones from it so you can make a base system, then do branches off of it as you add to it. For example, you can create a base Gentoo install and snapshot it. Then you can clone it and install some software - say to make a DAW. You can snapshot that and continue adding software to it or clone it. The workstations use differential methods to create the clones so storage space isn't as great as storing an the vm and it's files. Server you can't do snapshots so you create a VM, save it, copy it, then modify it. However, server does allow you to start the VMs as a service and keep them running when you are not logged in - with workstation you have to start them after you login. In short they each do different things and what you use depends on the situation. At work I use workstation so I can do snapshots since I am testing setups and I want to have a base to go back to and start over from. However, I have to start the service each time I login in so others can get to the VMs. For someone who doesn't need snapshotting you can just copy VMs and add to them as long as you have th file space.

Re: [gentoo-user] USB mass storage - WD My Book
You might also consider upgrading your kernel to 2.6.18. I use BackupPC with an external USB HD. With the 2.6.17 the usb subsystem would choke before a full backup would complete. By choke I mean that 'ps' would show a 'D' state for all USB related processes. Once the USB subsystem had choked, a command as simple as 'ls /mnt/usbhd' would result in another process hung in 'D' state. I've upgraded to 2.6.18 and it's doing much better, though its USB support is not yet totally solid. HTH, David -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] skypemate
I'm looking at: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/usbb2k-api/. Does anyone have this working with http://support.a-link.com/phonemate/IPU1.htm? How about the skypemate software?

[gentoo-user] LDAP + Samba as PDC
Hi everyone, I've been trying to set up an authentication server for a mixed LAN (Windows and Linux clientes ) and I'm having problems with Samba. The way it is today, the Windows clients can access the Samba server and each user can access it's home, by double-clicking on the server icon on the screen that shows all the machines on the network. But I'm unable to register the client workstations on the server. It says something like user name not found when I try to do it. But the odd thing is, when I look in the LDAP server, there is a registry of the client there. I'd like to know if anyone has managed to do this type of thing and, if possible, could send me the Samba config file (smb.conf) so I can see what I'm doing wrong. Here is my smb.conf file. If anyone detects what I'm doing wrong, I'd be grateful. :) [global] server string = %L workgroup = WORKGROUP announce as = NT Server hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24 security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 interfaces = lo eth1 bind interfaces only = yes local master = yes os level = 100 domain master = yes preferred master = yes null passwords = no #hide unreadable = yes enable privileges = yes domain logons = yes logon script = login.bat logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile wins support = yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts host bcast dns proxy = no time server = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://127.0.0.1:636/ ldap admin dn = cn=Laboratorio,dc=lara,dc=cic,dc=unb,dc=br ldap port = 636 ldap suffix = dc=lara,dc=cic,dc=unb,dc=br ldap server = ldaps://127.0.0.1:636/ ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap user suffix = ou=Users ldap group suffix = ou=Groups ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap delete dn = Yes ldap password sync = yes add group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupadd -p %g add machine script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w %u add user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m %u add user to group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m %u %g delete group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupdel %g delete user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-userdel %u delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -x %u %g passwd program = /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd passwd chat = *New password:* %n\r *New password (again):* %n\r \ *Password changed* set primary group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-usermod -g %g %u idmap backend = ldap:ldaps://127.0.0.1:636/ idmap uid = 1-2 idmap gid = 1-2 unix charset = ISO8859-1 profile acls = yes [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon guest ok = no read only = yes browseable = no [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles browseable = no writeable = yes default case = lower preserve case = no short preserve case = no case sensitive = no hide files = /desktop.ini/ntuser.ini/NTUSER.*/ write list = @smbusers @root create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 csc policy = disable [homes] path = /home/%U browseable = no valid users = %S read only = no guest ok = no inherit permissions = yes -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Encrypting a file containing confidential info
I'm using this : http://dev.gentoo.org/~agriffis/userpass/ I'm using KeePassX [1] to store my passwords and my private keys. This is a gpl application with a windows version to use at work =) I think keepassx is by far the best application to store passwords and personal files I've found.

· Richard Fish [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On 11/12/06, Alexander Skwar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In Knode/KDE, I configured, that firefox is to be used as the browser, so that when I click on a URL, it's loaded in firefox. I did this by modifying .kde/share/config/kdeglobals and adding/changing: [General] BrowserApplication=!/usr/bin/firefox You could also set this to /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox to bypass mozilla-launcher. I now changed the /usr/bin/firefox script so, that it doesn't use mozilla-launcher anymore. Up to now, I can't find any problems. What problems did I overlook? And what's actually the use of mozilla-launcher with current firefoxes? What would break, if mozilla-launcher is no longer used? Nothing that I can tell That's my impression as well. It looks to me like the main purpose of Gentoo's mozilla-launcher was to transparently support both firefox and firefox-bin (or mozilla and mozilla-bin, or thunderbid and thunderbird-bin, etc), Hm, I don't understand. As it is right now, firefox-bin will install /usr/bin/firefox-bin, won't it? Or will it also install /usr/bin/firefox? and to make sure that new urls re-used an existing instance. Yes, old versions of Mozilla Firefox required this. But, just like you say, current versions don't require this anymore. Current firefox versions seem to support this internally, and you end up with firefox or firefox-bin installed in /usr/bin depending upon which one you install. Yep. I don't see any reason why /usr/bin/firefox can't exec /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox and /usr/bin/firefox-bin can't exec /opt/firefox/firefox. Cf. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150404 As you have probably already seen, I added a small patch to the bug, just in case the Gentoo devs want to keep it around. Thanks! I was thinking about this at the weekend. Is it a *MUST* that a server understands that %2c is a ,? Or should I take this thread and purpose (ie. dump mozilla-launcher for at least firefox) to the dev list? Yeah, -dev would be the appropriate place to bring up dumping mozilla-launcher. Thanks.

Alexander Skwar I have no strong reason for choosing vmw-workstation. There are two minor things that make me prefer it: - I am familiar with vmw-workstation and I've never seen vmw-server There's no difference (as far as the interface is concerned). - VMW-Server is beta version It is not. and masked as testing package That might be.
