[gentoo-user] .gvfs breaks my backup scripts - what to do about it?
Hi, I have an annoying problem which I'd like to fix. Something (probably some Gnome application) repeatedly creates the folder .gvfs with permissions dr-x-- 2 jarausch users When I run tar (as root!) I get tar: ./jarausch/.gvfs: Cannot stat: Permission denied which sets an error return code for tar or even terminates tar. What I can do about this? (I don't run the Gnome desktop, just some Gnome applications.) Many thanks for a hint, Helmut.

By default fuse creates its mountpoints / files only with permissons for the user running it. You could : - use tar --exclude (probably the best, since the files are only temporary mountpoints) - change the rights of the dir with chown - try use_allow_other in /etc/fuse.conf

Thanks Thanasis and Matthias. I didn't recognize that .gvfs is a mount point for an sshfs file system. Helmut.

[gentoo-user] rkhunter --propupd not working since last updates installed
Hello,
I have had rkhunter installed for a long time, been working well, system
was reporting clean...
On Saturday I did an emerge -uDN world and installed the available
updates (not a huge amount), then on Sunday morning, got a report about
6 files whose properties had changed, and I realized I forgot to run
--propupd command, so I did - but got the same email again, so it isn't
working (doesn't reset the files database so that it thinks they are
ok). I still get the same email/message about the same 6 files
properties being changed. I've tried running it 3 times now.

As a follow-up to your problems, and because I'm just plain interested in this /dev/null,console question, I decided to create a completely new Gentoo VM myself from scratch this morning. I'm going FAR more slowly than usual as, like you, I need to get other things done. Also that I'd like to understand what the tarball does actually provide, and also when everything in /dev really comes together correctly. (If indeed it does come together correctly.) I'll post back how it's going. My first observation is that the stage3 tarball only provides /dev/null as a normal file and nothing else. I would guess that this is incorrect as I would think that if the normal file is there then the special file won't get created later. I've never studied how the /dev directory gets created so this will be a learning experience for me. As for having to get some work done, I completely understand. Just don't give up on us here in Gentoo land, be we real OR virtual... Cheers, Mark

[gentoo-user] OT: kernel parameters
Hello list, Some time ago I saw a comment in a kernel config help page saying to enable this option if unexplained, random lockups occurred. I didn't need to do that for Gentoo, but every other distro I've tried locks up after a random interval - even the latest Fedora 15. I suspect I have a chipset problem, but Gentoo runs happily with it so there must be a config option of some kind. Can anyone point me to the parameter concerned? I can't find it with grep. -- Rgds Peter

Thankfully, you can start afresh your quest and evaluate how each of these tools meets your requirements. We're going through the same research nightmare. Our conclusions: 1. Nothing out there just does everything a large network would really want. 2. Some projects have very stable code but not much plugins, others have lots of plugins but the dev model leads to unstable code 3. Monitoring is NOT off the shelf, it is highly bespoke 4. Regardless of what you choose you will go through X effort to get it going and Y effort to get it to do what you want. The value is Y is amazingly similar regardless of the project (given that the starting code is at least somewhat mature). iow, your comments are right on the money, that is indeed how to do it. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Sure enough, emerge is constantly using 50% cpu while the compiler is using the other half. Well, so far I've tracked the problem down to enabling the graphite useflag while emerging =gcc-4.4.x. Disabling the graphite useflag returns the cpu usage to normal while emerging gcc. Could I ask some kind geek to try enabling the graphite useflag and then to begin emerging gcc, please? You don't need to sit through the whole emerge -- five minute is more than enough to confirm this bug if you see it too. Just run top while emerging gcc and see who uses most cpu (after the sources are bunzipped and the configure scripts have started running.) Many thanks.

My hardware is several years older than yours, so my knowledge is obsolete :( My dvd player uses the old flat-ribbon cable (5 cm wide) attached to an old PATA controller plug, so naturally I need a PATA kernel driver to use the dvd drive. Does your dvd drive use a new (small) SATA cable to connect to the motherboard? If the answer is yes, then your understanding is correct, and your kernel *should* be announcing your dvd hardware in dmesg. Are you sure the cables are connected properly to the dvd drive? Are the lights on the dvd drive blinking normally during boot? I'm still trying to separate hardware/driver problems from udev problems.

[gentoo-user] Firefox
Can anyone explain why it takes so long for Firefox-bin to be unmasked? That's not intended to be a rant or finger-pointing, but a serious question. I can certainly understand the issues involved with ensuring that a complex package compiles on various systems with all sorts of different drivers and set-ups. But the -bin package is a precompiled binary that's merely installed. It seems like it should be pretty simple and straightforward to ensure that it works and unmask it. Firefox just released 5.0 and announced that all development, including bug fixes and security updates, had halted on 4.0. They plan to hold to similar short-release cycles in the future. It's been four months since 4.0 was released and it's still masked. If future releases see similar delays in unmasking, Gentoo users will soon be two or three versions behind. We'll be forced to either manually install, unmask the masked package, or run a potentially buggy, insecure version. Any insight into the delay of unmasking the binary verion that would help me understand the issue greatly appreciated. -- It seems to me that it is madder never to abandon one's self than often to be infatuated; better to be wounded, a captive and a slave, than always to walk in armor. - Margaret Fuller

[gentoo-user] VLC: Blackouts...
Hi, wgen watching television (DVB-T) with vlc it ofen happens, that vlc forgets that there is something to display. For example: When screen aspect changes if the commercials ends and the program is proceeded. Or between scene changes or sometimes when there seems no reason at all... Soetime the period of the blackout is that long, that vlc displays its inital scene. It is very annoying and I have no clue, what the reason is for that... Kaffeine does not show this problem ... Is there any trick to avoi dthat problem? Thank you very much in advance for any help ! Best regards, mcc

Just for clarification and in case anyone else needs help with this, the steps I followed in Virtualbox were as follows: 1. Create a new VM and select to add an existing disk image. I navigated to the uncompressed file and selected it. 2. I then went into the properties of the VM and changed the controller type to SCSI and readded the disk image. Since I quickly realized I wanted more space to use as my distfiles/portage server for my network, I then ran 3. VBoxManage clonehd /path/to/base-dist.vmdk /path/to/base-dist.vdi --format VDI ; VBoxManage modifyhd /path/to/base-dist.vdi --resize 102400 4. I then went into the settings and selected the new image to have the disk space available and partitioned the drive with the new space set aside for /usr/portage/ I will probably be uploading updated images every few days or so. -a Hope this is useful.
