[gentoo-user] logins controlled via Samba AD DC - what did I miss?
Hi people. I need a bit of help. I am trying to establish a Samba AD domain for purposes of central authentication and printer sharing with Windows and Linux hosts. I went through and managed to get the Domain created, and I can even talk to the AD DC from another Linux box using getent and wbtool and such. So I edited /etc/nsswitch and add winbind to the passwd and group lines. Winbind is running, but I still can't login as a domain-only user, even though all the mappings are there. I'm sure I missed something, but I have no idea what. Any help is REALLY appreciated.
[gentoo-user] Sharing printers via Cups
Hey folks, I'm a bit lost on this, so I hope you can help me out. I have a computer I want to act as the central print server for a network. It would spool all jobs for all printers, and send them out to the actual computers the printers are connected to, or to the printer itself in the event of a printer directly connected to the network. To start with, I have setup the server and added the printer connected to a Windows 10 Home computer to it. After a bit of work, I managed to get it so I can print a test page from cups and it comes out on the printer. But when I try to connect another computer to the printer via the print server, the other computer never sends it out. Just says the printer is busy. How can I set this up correctly? To describe exactly what I'm trying to do, let's just use four computers in this example. A is the central print server. B is the windows client with the printer. C and D are linux machines. What I want is if either C or D print something, they both send it to A, and then A sends it to B. Thanks!
Re: [gentoo-user] fail2ban can't find sqlite?
You were right. With the debugging tips from Alex Mishustin I was able to determine that I had rebuilt 3.9 while fail2ban was using 3.8. I did what I SHOULD have done in the first place and did an emerge -DN fail2ban. That caused portage to see that Python 3.8 needed to be rebuilt, and it did so. Now fail2ban is able to access the sqlite database. Thanks!

But there's no use flag for sqlite in fail2ban. So then I looked at python itself. Sure enough, the sqlite use flag was disabled. So I turned it on and re-emerged python. I also fixed a couple flags on sqlite itself and re-emerged it. STILL I get this error. How do I fix this? Just a guess: did you rebuild EVERY version of python, or just one? It could be that fail2ban is running under a version that you didn't re- emerge.

Coincidentally, my NAS is the only Gentoo system left in my menagerie. The install base is much smaller than on a desktop, which keeps the package graph to a manageable size (and with, it portage churning time). Every few months I fire it up to store new movies or grab old ones to watch, and I do a system update at the same time. That way I won’t lose all of my Gentoo-foo over time. I built it in a small cube-format server case and a server-grade mITX board, and maxed it out with four drives, 6 TB each, plus a small system SSD. They are used in a raid Z2 data pool, on top of LUKS-encrypted block devices. This is out of pure paranoia in case I need to send a drive in for warranty. Currently, I don’t use the system for anything else but media library. For 24/7 services I have a raspi. The power bill just isn’t worth it. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.

OK, according to Gentoo-wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Start_X_on_login ~/.bash_profile if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then exec startx; fi The above command works. with: ~/.xinitrc exec startxfce4 Both ssh and x2go sessions (both: connect to local desktop and XFCE) work correctly.

Maybe I wasn't clear. No, I don't start any X over ssh. When I'm directly in front of the PC and I have a log-in screen and type user ID + passwords I was under impression that "startxfce4" would run automatically when from .xinitrc ~/.xinitrc exec startxfce4 but it doesn't, when I log-in the XFCE4 is not starting automatically, I have to type manually: startxfce4

Why do you need to start X, doesn't x2go run its own X session? You are trying to start X in an SSH session, which is what gives your error. The line I suggested runs startx only if you are not logging in via SSH.

I was planning to get away from "slim" as I think it is getting more unstable; I just need a simple system to start X, log-in over ssh and use x2go session. I removed startx from .bash_profile and put in: ~/.xinitrc "exec startxfce4" and I was under impression that xfce4 will start automatically when I log-in but instead I get a user command prompt and have to type: startxfce4 But now ssh login works and x2go-session works as well. So why isn't startxfce4 starts automatically, what am I missing?
