[RESOLVED] Re: [gentoo-user] how to amrecover in amanda-2.6.0
I'm not exactly sure what I've done to fix things, but backups and
amrecovers are now working properly.
For the record, on the backup server, the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda file contains:
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol= udp
wait= yes
user= amanda
group = amanda
groups = yes
server = /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad
server_args = amdump amindexd amidxtaped
only_from = 192.168.1.0
disable = no
log_type= SYSLOG daemon debug
}
and, again on the backup server, the /etc/amanda/amandahosts file contains:
# Machine-name for those hosts which are permitted to back up (fully-qualified
# is best). An entry in /etc/hosts adds fail-safe against DNS death :-)
# |
# | permitted user-name
# | |
server amanda amdump
server root amindexd amidxtaped
client root amindexd amidxtaped
On the backup client, the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda file is identical to
the server's.
On the backup client, the /etc/amanda/amandahosts file contains:
# vim: ts=4 sts=4 sw=4 noexpandtab:
# Machine-name for those hosts which are permitted to back up (fully-qualified
# is best). An entry in /etc/hosts adds fail-safe against DNS death :-)
# |
# | permitted user-name

client amanda amdump
server amanda amdump
client root amindexd amidxtaped
I used the fqdn for the client and server names in the above files.

Re: [gentoo-user] File synchronisation utility (searching for/about to program it)
On Sat, 25 Jul 2009 13:10:41 -0400 Simon turne...@gmail.com wrote: I have tried using git in the past and found that it doesnt work in my 'space constrained' scenario. The need for a repository is a problem. The use of the usbkey however is nice since it allows git to work without having each computer maintain its own repository... but still... i dont currently have a usbkey that's large enough to hold all my data, even if i could compress it i doubt it would fit. Another thing is, i wonder if it retains the attributes of the file (creation date, mod date, owner/group, permissions)? As this can be important on some aspects of my synchronisation needs. Vanilla git doesn't, apart from executable bit. Due to highly-modular structure of git, one can easily implement it as a wrapper or replacement binary at some level, storing metadata in some form (plain list, mirror tree or just alongside each file) when pushing changes to repo, applying on each pull. Then there are also git-hooks, which should be a better way than wrapper in theory, but I found them much harder to use in practice. Still, git is a very good solution that works incrementally in a differential manner (makes patches from previous versions). But when i tried it, i found to suit my needs it would require the programming of a big wrapper that would interface git to make some daily quick actions simpler than a few git commands. That's another advantage of wrapper, but note that git-commands themselves can be quite extensible via aliases, configurable in gitconfig at any level (repo, home, system-wide). [alias] ci = commit -a co = checkout st = status -a br = branch ru = remote update ui = update-index --refresh cp = cherry-pick Still, things such are git ui git cp X are quite common, so wrapper, or at least a set of shell aliases is quite handy. I apologize if the existence of a bare repo as an intermediary is a problem. This can be done on a server as well. It is... it makes all my computer dependant on that repo... sync'ing computers at home can be done alright, but will still require walking around pluging/unpluging. Makes this practically impossible to do over the network (or to sync my host on the internet, not all my pc are connected to the internet so the repo cant be just on the server, i would have to maintain several repositories to work this out...). It may be possible to adapt it to my scenario, but i think it will require a lot of design in advance... but i'll check it out... at worst it will convince me i should program my own, better it will give me some good ideas or fortify some of my own good ideas and at best it will be the thing i've been looking for! Why keep bare repo at all? That's certainly not a prequisite with distributed VCS like git. You can fetch / merge / rebase / cherry-pick commits with git via ssh just as easy as with rsync, using some intermediate media only if machines aren't connected at all, but then there's just no way around it. And even here, knowing approximate date of last sync, you can use commands like git-bundle to create single pack of new objects, which remote(s) can easily import, transferring this via any applicable method or protocol between / to any number of hosts. As you've noted already, git is quite efficient when it comes to storage, keeping the changes alone. When this will become a problem due to long history of long-obsoleted changes, you can drop them all, effectively 'sqashing' all the commits in one of the repos, rebasing the rest against it. So that should cover requirement one. Cherry-picking commits or checking out individual files / dirs on top of any base from any other repo/revision is pretty much what is stated in the next three requirements. One gotcha here is that you should be used to making individual commits consistent and atomic, so each set of changes serves one purpose and you won't be in situation when you'll need half of commit anywhere. Conflict resolution is what you get with merge / rebase (just look at the fine git-merge man page), but due to abscence of ultimate AI these better used repeatedly against the same tree. About the last point of original post... I don't think git is intuitive until you understand exactly how it works - that's when it becomes one, with all the high-level and intermediate interfaces having great manpage and sole, clear purpose. That said, I don't think git is the best way to sync everything. I don't mix binary files with configuration, because just latter suffice with gentoo: you have git-synced portage (emerge can sync via VCS out-of-the-box), git-controlled overlay on top of it and pull the world/sets/flag/etc changes... just run emerge and you're set, without having to worry about architectural incompatibilities of binaries or missing misc libs, against which they're linked here and there. That's what portage is made for, after all. Just think of

If they have had root access on the system(s), and you want to remove them, it's very difficult (if they are knowledgeable) to do so, no matter what you do. It would be best to re-install that system(s) just to be safe. Re installation may be the quickest solution, and brings finality to a comprimised system problem. If in the future, should you need to have several folks with extended privileges, then look into sudo. It may or may not be a solution for your network. Personally, I like to divide and conquer; Split admin responsibilities across servers, and then one or two principals access/control everything and everyone That way you can document what other admins have done, with a variety of techniques and when servers are migrated to another admin, the new admin can document how things work or have been set up, to the point of training another admin. Often, particularly among the younger admins, folks do not like to perform a 'knowledge transfer' so when you switch admins, that situation gets flushed out. caveat emptor! hth, James

Have you recently changed the ithreads USE flag on dev-lang/perl? If so,
then you will need to remerge all ebuilds that installed files in
/usr/lib*/perl5/vendor_perl/${PERL_VER}/${CHOST%%-*}-linux if ithreads was
disabled, and /usr/lib*/perl5/vendor_perl/${PERL_VER}/${CHOST%%-*}-linux-
thread-multi if ithreads was enabled.
Also, if you have recently upgraded perl, the same provisions apply.
NOTE: In the above expansion, the following applies [sorry if you already
know this]:
- lib* is lib on x86, lib64 on amd64
- ${PERL_VER} is your perl version, probably 5.8.8
- ${CHOST%%-*} is the part of the CHOST before the first -:
* on x86, it will be one of i486, i586, or i686
* on amd64, it will be x86_64
If you aren't on x86 or amd64, I assume you can figure it out :).
This is helpful, as I do remember fooling with ithreads and not
getting it completely right. I'm now emerging anything that has
'perl' in the name or category.
It has always baffled me, given this sensitivity, that all such

[gentoo-user] Strange issue with YouTube not working at all in some browsers
Hi, For some reason, YouTube doesn't work for me in some web browsers. It acts like the hostname is not found. When I do host www.youtube.com lookups and tcptraceroute to port 80 and everything else I have tried to diagnose it seems to work just fine. I'm not using a proxy, I don't have youtube in my hosts file, and I haven't encountered this problem with any other website, including all of Google's other sites which I use frequently. I'm totally baffled. Loads perfectly fine in: lynx links (text and graphical mode) Opera Does not load at all in: Seamonkey Konqueror Firefox I tried it at work from a Windows machine (and a different ISP) using all of the above browsers and it worked fine. So I have no idea. I have not tried to do a wireshark capture yet. Has anyone seen this before or have any hints for me? I'm not a big YouTube person so I'm more interested in why this is happening than seeing videos. This has happened in the past with YouTube and after a few weeks it started working normally again. Not sure how long it has been since it stopped. Thanks.

[gentoo-user] portage and library troubles with GL
I've been trying to get a few recalcitrant packages to build (evolution-data-server, openoffice) but they seem to require things that my system does not have, and portage doesn't know this.

[gentoo-user] how do I resolve udev145 masked issue?
Hi. On my latest update attempt, I get the following message: !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy =sys-fs/udev-145[extras] have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-fs/udev- (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword) /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Matthias Schwarzott z...@gentoo.org (3 Jul 2009) # It needs libblkid provided by util-linux-2.16 not yet released - sys-fs/udev-145 (masked by: package.mask) For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. I tried this a week ago and waited a week hoping that this would be resolved, but the latest emerge --sync still has not resolved the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated as to possible courses of action, as there seems to be no way to tell emerge to do other updates while this is still not resolved. -- Your life is like a penny.

[gentoo-user] Remove stranded gcc-config's?
I was updating my wife's machine today and noticed that there are a number of older/stranded gcc-config's left on the machine. I still have gcc-4.1.2 but the other 3.3/3.4 versions should not remain. How would I remove these?

[gentoo-user] DOS VIM permissions problem under DOSEMU
I don't want to get into a flamewar over this, but I'm working on Fortran 77 program for a personal project. Because the gcc maintainers gave up on F77, and f95 is partial superset that deprecates some F77 stuff, I'm trying to do this with the DJGPP g77 compiler under DOS emulation. g77 dies under DOSBOX, so I switched to DOSEMU. I've been able to test-build Hello World and was itching to get started. I really don't like DOS EDIT (and it's memory constrained), and I love VIM. So the 32-bit DOS version of VIM seemed a natural choice within DOSEMU. But any attempt to save a file after editing causes error messages galore, and wipes out the original file (OUCH!). A bit of detective work shows that DOS VIM starts off with zero-byte files that have weird permissions, like so... waltd...@d530 ~/.dosemu/drive_c/tmp $ ll total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 waltdnes users 104 Aug 1 20:59 . drwxr-xr-x 8 waltdnes users 336 Aug 1 21:01 .. -r--r--r-- 1 waltdnes users 0 Aug 1 18:08 VIEW.BAT~ -r--rw-r-- 1 waltdnes users 0 Aug 1 20:59 hw.for~ Needless to say, it cannot save to read-only files. I've already tried monkeying with umask, with no effect. For now, I use an xterm with linux VIM editing the DOS files, and DOSEMU runs in another window, where I do the compile and test runs. Yeah, it works, but I'd prefer an all-in-one solution. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org
