I don't think I checked if the server service is running on the WinXP box - I remember shutting it down some years ago in an effort to increase the security of this OS. Will look at it again when I get home tonight. Talking about security, is the vnc method the only way to secure this communication (for both machines)? Could there be perhaps ssh tunneling established between the two boxen before the rdp protocol kicks in? I believe the RDP connection is encrypted (using Diffie-Hellman or whatever algorithm Windows likes these days). A quick sniff gets what appears to be a key exchange and then a bunch of gobbledy-gook, so I think you should be good to go, if you're using RDP (and not VNC). This is based on vague recollections, and a quick sniff with wireshark, so, please, don't take it as gospel. - -- gentux echo hfouvyyAhnbjm/dpn | perl -pe 's/(.)/chr(ord($1)-1)/ge' gentux's gpg fingerprint == 5495 0388 67FF 0B89 1239 D840 4CF0 39E2 18D3 4A9E -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFIa4YTPA54hjTSp4RAjc8AJ492HgkNcRXWXy9Uhw227vzSp1ZwQCgkg3z wnhZzHbK3UOP7kkcnK3jdz8= =OZ4b -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] kdebase won't re-build

Be that as it may, I've been trying to get through running the tool successfully, and I am getting stuck on rebuilding kdebase-3.4.3-r2. I'm actually using KDE 3.5, but would like to keep 3.4 around until the next major version comes around (I'm just anal that way). When it goes to rebuild kdebase, it quickly errors out with the following: configure: error: you need to install kdelibs first. If you did install kdelibs, then the Qt version that is picked up by this configure is not the same version you used to compile kdelibs.

So, I immediately rebuilt qt, which actually rebuilt qt4 (I think qt3 is actually being detected by the kdebase ebuild, but we'll get to that). I also rebuilt kdelibs (at the same time as qt - qt was rebuilt first), then tried the kdebase rebuild again. I get the same error. So, I said to myself, ok, it's picking up qt3 (not qt4, which I just rebuilt) so I need to rebuild that. So I did. I did a `emerge -av =x11-libs/qt-3.3.6-r1', which completed successfully, but when attempting a rebuild of kdebase I get the same, above, error. Any pointers would be awesome.

Re: [gentoo-user] Things that can be improved
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Rafael Fernández López wrote: Hi, This is not flame war. I love Gentoo, and it is the distribution that fits me perfectly, but I've been wondering this last year what things can be improved in this wonderful distro. The first thing that I'd change is etc-update or dispatch-conf. I'd suggest to create some kind of tool like dpkg-reconfigure in Debian. More intuitive than reading /etc files and writing them by hand that is more probably to be mistaken when writing. I do agree that these tools fall slightly short of the goal - which IMHO it to effectively manage config files when updating packages, and to dumb down the management process. I've noticed that a majority of the *.conf updates (especially recently) tend to be changing the date(s) in the Gentoo copyright notice (from 2005 - 2006) and/or cvs document version header updates (e.g. v1.5 to v1.6). I typically use dispatch-conf, so maybe this is what etc-update calls trivial updates. Without going into too many specifics (since the thread wasn't started in a specific manner), one of my pet peeves about dispatch-conf is that the new, unmodified *.conf files take precedence. I know there's the merge option, and admittedly, I haven't quite figured out how to use that effectively. But if a new *.conf file is presented, shouldn't/couldn't it diff the new with the old and automatically incorporate the differences into the new *.conf file? More to the point, as I'm not familiar with dpkg-reconfigure, or debian for that matter, why not point out specific short-comings of the existing tools? Or propose a better approach to solving the *.conf file management issue (philosophically or technically - i.e. write one)? Second thing that I'd improve is a security one. I know that emerge is a very cared package, but it is a script. Suppose that someone commits portage with a emerge failure in its code (he forgot a comma !!)... if someone updates portage won't be able to update it again because it will fail ever and ever again... So I suggest to have a backuped emerge script that we are sure that worked (like the last emerge tool that was used), and if the new emerge tool is mistaken (so that user doesn't need to know python) only has to run regenemerge for example, and will have the latest emerge working tool. I don't know if this is technically a security issue, moreso an availability issue (which, yes, technically falls under security in terms of confidentiality-integrity-availability, but in my mind falls slightly outside of the umbrella). While you present a valid concern, I believe this is addressed by the whole masking/testing process that is currently architected into portage. If a portage developer managed to leave out a comma when doing a cvs commit, it's *very* likely going to be found before portage is moved to the stable tree. Worst case scenario, if something like this *were* to fall through the cracks, grab your trusty install-CD and revert to a known-good portage snapshot. Between the lists/forums/announcements/wiki/etc., I'm sure that something like this would surface /immediately/. Just my 2¢... -- gentux echo hfouvyyAhnbjm/dpn | perl -pe 's/(.)/chr(ord($1)-1)/ge' gentux's gpg fingerprint == 5495 0388 67FF 0B89 1239 D840 4CF0 39E2 18D3 4A9E -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFErsVqTPA54hjTSp4RApBDAKC9nlQd45p1UkwM8nD+WGOh+ZLewwCgrX9q DvV9ZNnD3GQjYEtd4DeCR0w= =sguh -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Can't run `X -configure' successfully.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Jason's recent inquiry about the alternate terminals caused me to revisit an issue that I've had for some time. AFAIK, I don't have an xorg.conf. I've tried running `X -configure -verbose' and it fails with a Signal 11. There are a bunch of modules that have invalid references, but none of them are the modules that should be used for my video card. I've looked at the xorg.conf.example, but can't really make heads or tails of it in regards to my specific equipment. Ironically, I have no problem running gdm, and then logging into KDE. So I know Xorg is working, I assume with some sort of default configuration. But there are little things that don't quite jive. One of them is the alternate terminals. Another is the fact that my 4-button wheel mouse, isn't recognized as a wheel mouse. While looking closely at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I noticed that Xorg had been built under a different kernel. So, I re-emerged Xorg under the new kernel. Which spawns a tangential question: How can I tell what other programs on my system would benefit from being re-compiled under the new kernel - instead of re-emerging world? Unfortunately, recompiling xorg under the new kernel didn't seem to make a difference as far as generating a new conf file, but there are some notable differences. One is that gKrellm with the glass 2 theme is no longer clear. So, if anyone could help with either the xorg.conf issue, or the new-kernel-rebuild question, I'd appreciate it.

I'm just curious, because I have to install gentoo on a notebook, but I want package compatibility with my server. Thanks. As I understand it, this is essentially true. As long as you continue to update your system, it will remain up to a date. However, depending upon your architecture, there may be packages that are masked by profile. I've really only seen this on SPARC systems, but others may pop up as well. For example, the 2.6 kernel is masked in the 2005.1 SPARC profile, but not in the 2006.0 profile.

I have never bee able to get the sound working right in KDE for my

since it seems to work for root. I've got the same permissons you do

wonder if it matters what your primary group is, as mine is (or was)

Now, I'm assuming that the net-misc/ntp package is actually the daemon, and not just the client. NTP is similar to many P2P protocols in that clients are normally also long running background processes, daemons (or paenguins). There are some clients that use NTP messages to fetch a single time and set your clock using it, but then you still get network latency noise and other inaccuracies. For daily work that's really not a big deal, but if you are going to use NTP I suggest you really use NTP and run a daemon. The default config for both net-misc/ntp and openntpd does not listen on any ports by default, so it shouldn't raise many security issues. As far an these unwanted dependencies go, could you please provide the output for emerge -pvt net-misc/ntp so we can see the whole dependency chain? Can anyone suggest a client *only* package?

Probably because your USE flags are telling portage that you want all of those dependancies. If you don't have USE=nodroproot (which would be a bad idea, BTW), ntp depends on sys-libs/libcap. sys-libs/libcap depends on dev-lang/swig if you have USE=python. dev-lang/swig depends dev-lang/php if you have USE=php. dev-lang/php depends on apache. ...and so on. If you want to avoid such dependancies, you should set USE=-* in /etc/make.conf, and then set each USE flag specifically for each package that you want it on in /etc/portage/package.use. If you do this, be very careful in the conversion of your system, as you can break things easily (for example, if you have pam, and end up with -pam.) -Richard rdate doesn't give me the functionality that I'm looking for as it expects to connect to the (x)?inetd 'time' subdaemon, instead of an ntpd server. But, removing some of the heavier USE flags (php, apache2, etc.) brought me down to net-misc/ntp and 2 other dependencies (libcap and swig), which I thought were acceptable. - -- gentux echo hfouvyAdpy/ofu | perl -pe 's/(.)/chr(ord($1)-1)/ge' gentux's gpg fingerprint == 34CE 2E97 40C7 EF6E EC40 9795 2D81 924A 6996 0993 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEAimcLYGSSmmWCZMRAqOjAJ4lPQIGYkAsrEH3/noBOZApVCk1ZACdG044 JPRhokC0OZPKH1QdeRrzklY= =QC30 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

However, usually problems like this are related to CMOS batteries, and their eventual death. I'm not quite as familiar with SPARC hardware as with x86 hardware, but I suspect the problem to be similar. I got these systems rather cheaply from eBay, and as they are 10+ years old, I don't know how much replacement hardware will be floating around. ;-) Be that as it may, I've managed to get the net-misc/ntp package installed and configured.

I've been running it for years on a 4P PIII Xeon and my take is I won't run more than 2 Intel processors on their Front Side Bus - The bus saturates very quickly. The cpus stall out waiting for memory. I was more curious how the virtual CPUs would affect things. And if there was a limit on the number of processes supported by gentoo. I knew that the linux kernel (generically) supports well over 8 CPUs, but I just was trying to nail down any distro-specific issues. If you are going to run more than 2 cpus, go for an Opteron solution. It scales much better and the dual-core limits the FSB to 2 cpus per connect. Also, if you look around at places like - 2cpu.com, you'll see at 4 cpus, the Opteron's massive memory bandwidth leaves the Xeon way behind on most benchmarks. Finally, outside of very, very specific tasks, Intel's HT actually slows down performance. Again check the web sites for specific benchmarks. If your application doesn't fall into the use area where HT actually helps, it's best to turn it off. I'm getting this box from a vendor, and I thought they had limited options. We've always gone Intel before, and I'm relatively new to this organization. I'm going to poke around for some benchmarks. I would be interested in seeing them, both from the perspective of my home P4/HT box, as well as this one. As to Linux scaling, I've run Linux, not Gentoo, on a few different 8P, 16P, 20P, 32P, and 64P systems, and on one 512P system. The 512P was kind of fun - kicking off and stopping 512 setiathome instances, all at the same time.

But I have no idea how it will scale to this many processors. I've done some preliminary googling, but haven't come up with muchprobably using the wrong search terms. I've been running a Dell 6650, 4 x 1.9 GHZ Xeons for about a year under Gentoo. Linux sees it as 8 processors with the HT stuff turned on. I sort of inherited that machine and we've never come close to pushing it, but it's been great for Mysql which is highly threaded. My only advice is that quad physical CPU boxes and up are much more expensive than dual proc boxes though that seems to be changing. Make sure you really need that sort of concentrated CPU power rather than three or four smaller boxes. Also remember that most of your dual core CPUs can have significantly less cache than single core CPUs. The Intels top out at 8MB on single and 2MB on dual core from a quick look around. On the application side you're want something highly threaded or with a large number of processes. No point in having eight procs when six are likely to be sitting around doing nothing. The main purpose of this box is going to be log crunching and archival. We have logs that range from tens of MBs to a GB a piece (uncompressed). The scripts running on it will be transferring (over the network), decompressing, grepping, normalizing, recompressing, and inserting into a local database from dozens of sources simultaneously. In a prior situation, I had a Sun e4500 with 8 UltraSPARC IIIs, 12GB of RAM, and about a TB of disk attached (SCSI and FC). There were times it wasn't enough. I'm hoping to at least match that functionality (preferably better it). I'll also second the AMD recommendation. A number of LAMP people have mentioned that they're getting much better performace out of their 64bit AMD's than the equivalent Intels. Specifically the Cnet/Gamestop guys have been retiring three dual Xeon DL380s for each dual dual core DL385 they install. The more comparisons and reviews I read are leaning me in that direction. However, it doesn't look like HP offers a 4-way Opteron box.

For the record, I did an `equery depends php` and got swig and base and one other package (don't remember - probably something I didn't need anyway). ;-) Anyhoo, once these packages were uninstalled, I was able to update normally. I think base was the clinger, but I don't know for sure. I haven't tried it yet (that's the project for today), but I'm going to go back and, hopefully get those packages back on there.

As far as I know, emerge -CDatv world is not even a valid command (at least I hope it isn't). This translates to emerge --unmerge --deep --ask --tree --verbose world, and it seems to me would unmerge everything on your system if it was allowed. The unemerge isn't run from the script. The `emerge world` is. I would think that it would only unemerge package that depended solely on the package being unemerged. But, perhaps the '--deep' is ignored in this case. I have never seen another package being brought for unemerging when using this command. The usual use for --unmerge is to tell Portage what you specifically want to unmerge; this should not be an automatic function (except in the case of repair utilities such as depclean, which even those give you a HUGE warning that unmerging random --as in not pre-specified by the user, but determined by a script-- packages automatically can break the system). The actual answer to your question, though, is that the blocking package is not a problem unless you want to emerge something that it blocks. So of course it's not going to be noticed until you attempt to perform such an action (emerging a package that is blocked by the installed package). Well, this is what I would like to do. ( I thought this would be obvious.) But I can't continue with the `emerge world` unless I'm able to resolve the blocks. The command/process dies almost immediately complaining about the blocked packages. 2) How do I rectify this little version discrepancy fixed so that I can get things updating normally again? Iirc from several threads recently, there are one or more packages on your system that rely on php which must be updated to ~arch, or else they keep trying to bring in PHP4 (only the ~arch version can depend on PHP5; the stable versions have a fixed dependency on PHP4). I don't remember which programs they are, but if you don't feel like searching the archives, you can look at your tree view to see what is actually pulling in PHP4, upgrading that (or keywording it to unstable, rather) and see if you still get the block. I had several keyworded before, and removing those keywords seemed to eliminate *some* of the blocking problem. I'll try upgrading/keywording the ones that seem to depend on php4 in the hopes that they are now wanting php5.

Thanks again
Sorry for things being out of order, but you top-posted. The answer
to your first question is below.
The /^CLOCK=/ is NOT necessary, in this instance, and may actually
cause problems if you're not 100% sure of your regular expression. It
is there, simply because I was expanding your original pattern. What
this does, though, is it tells sed to match the line with the regular
expression before making any substitutions and/or replacements. Say
for example, you had 2 lines in the same file with different values
but similar structure, and you only wanted to change one of them.
Let's go with the example you used. Let's assume that our example
file looks something like this:
# This is a comment
CLOCK=foo1
# This is another comment
TIMEZONE=GMT
# This is yet another comment
CLOCK=${CLOCK}foo2
So, let's say that you wanted to change the second instance. The
/^CLOCK=/ tells sed to ignore all lines that do NOT begin with
'CLOCK='. So the comments ( # This is a comment ) and the 'TIMEZONE'
directive will be ignored. Actions will only be taken on the lines:
CLOCK=foo1
CLOCK=${CLOCK}foo2
...because they match the expression we gave sed as an address (
/^CLOCK=/ ). We would furthur specify how to change that line by our
search and replace command (as described below):
s/^\(CLOCK=\\)\${.*}\(\.*\)$/\1foo3\2/
It is important to note here that the left and right brace characters
( { } ) are not escaped. If they were, they would have been handled
as metacharacters, which produces a drastically different result.
If you really want to get to know sed (and awk), I HIGHLY recommend
getting the 2 O'reilley books: Sed Awk, and Mastering Regular
Expressions. Both of these two books have taught me almost everything
I know on the matter, and I refer to them frequently.
HTH

For that I understood, this command will return the line of CLOCK= in
/etc/conf.f/clock without any comments. Is this right? Well, what I
really want is replace just CLOCK=fool1 by CLOCK=fool2 keeping the
comments in line.
By the way, \1 do really what? If i put \0 the result is the entire
line. So, could you explain me this a little more? Thanks...
2005/11/7, gentuxx [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I will try to answer both of your questions with this one email.
The '\1' takes the first element, or element group, captured by the
parentheses metacharacters ( \( \) ) and uses it as a variable. The
variable '\0', as you found out, represents the entire contents of the
pattern space or basically, the entire line since you're matching
beginning ( ^ ) to end ( $ ). The variable '\0' is also synonymous
with the ampersand metacharacter ( ). So, if you want to change the
value of the CLOCK variable in /etc/conf.d/clock, while leaving any
comments intact, you could do something like this:
sed 's/^\(CLOCK=\\).*\(\.*\)$/\1foo2\2/' /etc/conf.d/clock
This matches and captures the contents of the first set of
parentheses, and places it into a variable accessible by '\1'. Then
it matches 0 or more of any character type, until it matches a literal
double-quote ( \ ). Then it matches and captures the contents of the
second set of parentheses, and places it into a variable accessible by
'\2'. So, to change the value, you would issue a substitution command
( s/// ) which matches the first set and replaces it with the second
set. The variables '\1' and '\2' are interpolated, so the values
captured are printed. I.e. the result should be:
was:
CLOCK=foo1 # some comments here
now:
CLOCK=foo2 # some comments here

I thought he didn't want the lines with trailing comments at all. He didn't really make that clear in his first post. ;-) But is it necessary to give the address for an s// replacement? As I understand it that sed is a stream editor and will try the replacement on every line it encounters. The -n flag would guarantee only the line changed would be printed anyway. No, the address is NOT necessary for this case. I stated that in my reply to his post. However, sed will only replace the first instance found, unless the 'g' flag is specified ( s///g ). Then it'll search and replace globally. The '-n' option suppresses unchanged output, so if the output of the sed command was being redirected to a file, only the changed lines would be printed. So, in this case, you would NOT want to use the '-n' option, because you would want the entire file output *with* the changes. I guess what I am saying is that sed -n 's/^\(CLOCK=.*\).*$/\1/p' /etc/conf.d/clock would do just as fine, no? W (See above). To actually make changes to the file, once you had tested your regular expressions to STDOUT, you would most likely want to redirect it to a file to replace the original file. If you include the '-n' option, all of the unchanged lines would not be printed or redirected - so you would have your changes, but nothing else. So for your final run, you would want something without the '-n' option. And without the '-n' option, the print command ( s///p ) is moot.

Naturally, when I did the emerge -Cpv devfsd it complained that I was unemerging something in the system profile, and that it could damage my system. So I just thought I would check here before hurting anything. ;-) Take a look at the RC_DEVICES setting in /etc/conf.d/rc. If that says auto or udev, then you are using udev and can safely remove devfs. Another way to check is to look at the output of mount | grep /dev. Here is what it says for me: udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid) If you are still using devfs, this will probably say type devfs. -Richard No devfs. I guess I was thinking that udev WAS devfs.

[gentoo-user] os-headers differ from kernel version
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This is just a difference that I noticed while running the 'emerge - --info' command. My kernel is 2.6.12-gentoo-r9, but emerge --info reports the os-headers as 2.6.11-r2. I was able to trace the os-headers info back to the sys-kernel/linux-headers package, which it seems the most recent is 2.6.11-r2. Why the difference?

So it is likely that there will be tones of stuff that was turned on, or had modules build for it, that you didn't need. The same will likely be the case for the gentoo kernel. You're best bet is to spend the time on one system going through each kernel option (within reason), if you don't know what it does, read the help and/or turn it off (it will give a recommended setting in the Help). Once you've got your config, use that to build the kernels for the rest fo your systems. I know it's a lot of work, but once you've done it, subsequent configs/compiles for kernel upgrades, security patches, etc. will go MUCH faster. 1) Because you'll have a pre-defined kernel config. 2) You'll know what most of the kernel options are (at least superficially) and which ones you need enabled. You'll just have to read the help for any new ones that pop up. ;-) HTH - -- gentux echo hfouvyAdpy/ofu | perl -pe 's/(.)/chr(ord($1)-1)/ge' gentux's gpg fingerprint == 34CE 2E97 40C7 EF6E EC40 9795 2D81 924A 6996 0993 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDPuqXLYGSSmmWCZMRAhxlAKDrXCbDtafJPdObBrot58t9Zxuv8ACgjQtw g2gJWap5M6/a415dDccJpdU= =NRaR -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Any 'sed' geniuses out there?

I'm writing a sed script that will parse the *broken* output of
man2html. I say broken, because the output isn't W3C compliant (html
OR xhtml). I'd like to be able to modify it so that the final outcome
is XHTML 1.0 compliant. I'm running into a problem where the output
doesn't close the p, dt, or dd tags. XHTML requires that tags
containing text be closed. So the problem I'm having is being able to
take note of the starting tag, grab the subsequent paragraph, then
insert the closing tag. What I've got /sort of/ works, but still not.
Here's a sample that has been parsed, but not with the p modifying
elements:

Name resolution is name resolution, whether on the static line or
the dynamic line. What difference does it make?
If they are on different networks, one interface may not be able to
see the other interface, therefore not the name servers either.

*Subject:* [gentoo-user] specifying DNS servers
Can I specify different DNS servers for each of my two physical
interfaces to use? One nic is configured for DHCP, and the other is
static. The DHCP enabled NIC gets its DNS server list automatically
and updates (overwrites) /etc/resolv.conf. How can I point my static
IP NIC to a different DNS server since it's on a different network?
Or is there a different/better solution?
