Re: [gentoo-user] Re: To all IPv6-slackers among the Gentoo community
* Walter Dnes: > Look Ma, we have a form of IPV6 NAT (Ducks back into foxhole before > incoming artillery barrage from IPV6 purists). Hehe. ;-) That's both provocative and wrong. An IPv6 router can, at a glance, decide if a packet needs to be handled locally or pushed out. No need for mangling/rewriting as IPv4 NAT would require. It does not matter if the packet arrives at the router via a link-local address, because it contains the sender's global scope address and replies can therefore be sent back with another single glance. -Ralph

The herd lists what they maintain, although it may not be current. BGO Bug 494026 says the security team has masked this package for vulnerabilities. It's not straightforward to tell who exactly is maintaining nova. It may by up for grabs for a (proxy) maintainter. Just search out nova on BGO. Also, after the herd decprecation is complete, and some other things are finalized, it shlould be clear who is maintaining what codes, Who is on what project team and if a code (package) is not claimed by a team, then the individual (dev or proxy) that is maintaining the code. Or this is my understanding/speculation on how it's gonna work. Ok, so from here all you gotta do is *dig* a bit.

Walter, Thanks so much! That explanation would account for what I’m seeing. A quick tour of the tv’s setup menu and a glance at the documentation didn’t offer an obvious remedy, but your suggestions and knowing now to Google for “overscan” will help immensely. You have no idea (or maybe you do) how frustrating it was to set up Gentoo on that box using that tv for a monitor. Often couldn’t see critical parts of what I was typing, nor the shell’s response.

Some TVs don't provide a remedy. Others do, but it may be something pretty obscure. One of my LG TVs allows you to assign a "label" to each input. The labels are selected from a pre-defined list. If you select the "PC" label, it disables overscan. IIRC, this wasn't documented anywhere (I stumbled across the info in a home-theater forum). On my other LG, that doesn't work (there appears to be no way to eliminate overscan). -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow! Is it clean in other at dimensions? gmail.com

Sadly, the makefile[1] does not print out the mkdir commands (recipe on lines 202 thru 204), so it's not possible to spot in the output when are these being executed, but, from a quick glance (I might have overlooked something!), it sounds like the target that runs mkdir is not a dependency of the targets that generate and link the object files (line 262, line 273), so it'd be possible for this to happen just because the second mkdir did not complete before the first g++ was checking for the directory.

[gentoo-user] Home page slowness
Hi, We plan to eval Gentoo. We await 2008 final. The comment is, Gentoo home page gives no clue about status. Convincing people that Gentoo is alive becomes tricky because the final is months late and little motion on the home page. That's about all most people inspect. So bottom line, impressions of Gentoo are going south even before we test. Some sort of progress bar or chart showing bugs squashed and new reported, maybe?? At least some kind of ticker showing expected final release date? Counting lines of code or something? Personally I don't care when final ships - just knowing present expectations or status with an easy home page glance is all I ask.

In Konsole under KDE 3.5.9, the title bar would always be controlled by the script that was running. Is this supposed to happen in KDE 4.2, or is this a bug? Yeah, I noticed the same.

[gentoo-user] In the fear of getting hacked (WLAN setup)
Hi, in order to connect my ASUS Memp Pad 7 ME176CX to the internet I need a working WLAN (my DSL router/modem is of the copper area - no Wifi/WLAN). The hardware (an USB dongle) is already there...it needs only be configured and setup. The problem I (possibly needless) see is: While I am tinkering and testing the configuration I may setup an open Wifi access point without noticing it in first glance and BANG! get hacked ... in the worst case: unrecognized... What is the best practice here? Is there a certain independant configuration, which I can set, which prevents this scenario? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, Meino PS: If one knows the ASUS Memo Pad 7 ME176CX and knows a way to locally connect this tablet to the internet...this would be a way to go also. I would appreciate any hint in this case (Using Lollipop 5.0).

If you don't have any daemons running that provide network services (have opened listen ports), you can't get hacked. Yes and no. If user enabled network interface and has no network daemons running, kernel still listens to that interface (ARP, icmp and so on) and may be hacked using vulnerabilities in network stack, protocol handlers or even network device drivers.

[gentoo-user] 100% CPU load is different to 100% CPU load?
Hi, yesterday I md5summed my hole system with find.| xargsmd5sum With options I set xargs to use all 12 thread and use as much args per call as possible in one line. After a while I checked the CPU with glance and it shows, that all 12 cores/threads were "loaded" with 100% each constantly over a period of about 1h. The CPU temperature rises to about 47°C. The CPU does not contain a GPU. Graphics goes extra. Today I created again a CPU load over a comparable duration with a constant 100% CPU load on each core/thread. Interesting it does not take more than 3 minutes to reach 65°C CPU temperature. Both temperatures reflect the die temperature. What is the difference between 100% CPU load and 100% CPU load to create such an difference in temperature? How is X% load calculated? Cheers! Meino

First, I set up the TV output to run as a second display to the right of my main display. My main monitor is Screen 0. My TV is Screen 1. That allows me to watch TV at a lower resolution that the splitter works well at while my monitor runs at the highest resolution. That got me to where I can watch TV pretty easy. When I open Smplayer, I just tell it to move to Screen 1 and to the TV it goes, sound and all. The one thing that bugged me is that I had to be on the desktop where I started Smplayer to watch it. I couldn't for example be surfing the internet and glance over at the TV to see something if I was on a different desktop. Then it hit me, there is a way somewhere to set it to be seen on all desktops. I dug around until I found it. It's in the upper left hand corner on my KDE. I think that is the default. When one puts their mouse pointer on it, it says "On all desktops". If you click that, it then makes the video going to the TV viewable on all desktops.

Should I still run python-updater etc? python-updater should've been run after you installed a new version of python (I'm pretty sure it is in the ebuild). equery depends is not smart enough to know that there is another python on your system that satisfies the dependencies. What you should look for in the output of equery depends is whether any of the dependencies (as listed in the paranthesis after the package name) is a hard dependency on a particular version of python. Basically, look for something that says =virtual/python-2.3 or =virtual/python-2.3 or something like that. My cursory glance at the output you send suggests that nothing explicitly depends on that particular version of python. So you *should* be able to unmerge the old one.

Re: [gentoo-user] Laptop keeps freezing

I've checked the logs but there is nothing informative there. I'm all up to date with packages. How do you troubleshoot something like this? The first thing to determine is that whether it is freezing of the user interface or the underlying kernel. For desktops I often compile the kernel with the option that it flashes the keyboard LEDs when it is panicking, so I can see at a glance that the omelette has hit the fan. So: a) This freezing behaviour, does it manifest only in X, or does it happen if you boot into a non-graphical environment? b) If both, is it possible to have your laptop on a private network with ssh/telnet listening? If so, please see if after the freezing behaviour, you can still telnet/ssh into the laptop? If you can, can you run top from the terminal and see if anything is just taking up 100% resource? Other things to check: c) could your laptop be overheating? d) is this a new phenomenon or something that has happened consistently since the dawn of time? i.e. did you update any software recently or is this something that just happened right out of the box with your spanking new hardware? e) If this is a spanking new machine, and if it comes with one of the bastard OSes pre-installed, does this also happen running that operating system?

Re: [gentoo-user] Doubt about FLAG use
Well, after all I'm confused after reading the thread. Should I use this or not ? *USE=-ipv6 -ftp emerge -av mplayer* Thanks for your time and support.

Comments will also help you remember why you did stuff so when you jump to the next major version you can glance over package.use and see if anything jumps out at you. It all makes it easier to read and manage as your /etc/portage/* files gets more complicated. kashani -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
