  3. how long can I go between updates?

    in Portage Help

    Posted

    you're totally asking for trouble, 3 months max, try monthly or more.  the more you update the system the less painful it is, i do about every 2 weeks for a 

     

    emerge --sync && emerge -avuND world

     

    if you do it every 2 days then its only like 1 package, 2 packages minor adjustments instead of hundreds of updates with blockers and the works

  5. emerge -a www-client/firefox-bin...

    The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
    (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
    # required by x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.27
    # required by www-client/firefox-bin-38.0.1
    # required by www-client/firefox-bin (argument)
    =x11-libs/cairo-1.14.2 X
    # required by x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.27
    # required by www-client/firefox-bin-38.0.1
    # required by www-client/firefox-bin (argument)
    >=x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf-2.31.1 X

     

    ie add to /etc/portage/make.conf

    USE="X"

     

    or

     

    mkdir -p /etc/portage/package.use

    echo "x11-libs/cairo X" >> /etc/portage/package.use/cairo

    echo "x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf X" >> /etc/portage/package.use/gdk-pixbuf

  6. Screen tearing and how to get rid of it

    im trying to think of a better place for my xorg.conf.d entries

     

    mkultra@spaceball1 ~/aircrack $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50novsync.conf
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "My Graphics"
    Option "GLXVBlank" "off"
    EndSection

     

    you probably want to turn glxvblank on or maybe it needs to go off?  i also have an alternate resolution one somewhere.  nouveau doesn't have a control panel so its all xorg.conf.d

  7. more site monitoring goodies.

    i plan on maintaining several ebuilds, i mean like 100-200, but i need an excellent method to watch upstream to keep my ebuilds 2day current.  im going to give this a whirl...  i like rss, but not every site supports that...  in all actuality i haven't seen rss in a few days, my apps for rss are all conflicting with the compositor in xfce or exiting the notification area.  bleh its heavily dependent upon gnome.

     

    looking around the net suggest growl can do this also.  emerging growl-for-linux

  8. wiki work

    in Dev Central

    Posted

    ok im going to start a wiki work thread for drobbins to communicate with me on because he's busy, im busy, chat works great but these are going to be long term things that need worked out.  mainly dealing with the upcoming skin.

     

    what do you think about www.funtoo.org/ <--- ie removing Welcome / Main_Page?

     

    what do you think about the skin being even more like a web page, with login, edit, etc at the bottom?  (id probably stick search at the top of the page still)

     

    back story to above line, the skin's order in vectors h1 heading, body, then the rest of the tools to make content at the top of the html,  rest of tools to make sidebar etc... instead of beating up the css extensively to make the site have all the tools at the top just make a pretty footer, and migrate most of the menus to the actual welcome page like is done with Main_Page....

     

    i posted commits upstream to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgActionPaths can we get that going so its www.funtoo.org/Main_Page/edit or www.funtoo.org/Main_Page/delete to make the site even more usable?  www.funtoo.org/Main_Page + /logout && return =D

     

    what about TOC, the new skin supports scrollspy...  if i fix this will you turn on the tocs?

     

    Package: name space's contents out of order for mobile, it shows the use flags first instead of inserting them where they would be relevant, they're not minimized for mobile / optional to see since you only really need to see them once at install, and they're consuming tons of space.  cat/pkg summary news needs to go to the bottom of the page, mobile users are looking at the news every package page.

     

    backend stuff.....

    varnish is good, but it doesnt support unix sockets, so its becoming a liability, i posted updates to the tengine / nginx pages so nginx could take over varnish's duties of acceleration.  it supports sockets out of the box, ssl, and multiple backend servers.

     

    possibly more to come on this post in a second if no immediate reply

  10. freecycle?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    i've been a member of several online communities & forums.  some of them had threads about sharing stuff...  i dont have money to ship stuff but i could gather it up...  i know some people need hardware, and i have several old computers i could give away that may be better than what people have.  anyone else interested in this idea?

     

    i have several sound blasters, an old logitech webcam i could give away, some pc cases i could give away, some pc speakers that are missing the subwoffer, a bricked linksys router....  im not sure how this would be setup, it would probably have to be a "taker pays shipping" setup since its not exactly small items all the time.

  11. nginx -uwsgi = freak out

    www-servers/nginx-1.8.0

     

    * Applying nginx-fix-perl-install-path.patch ...                                                                                                      [ ok ]

    im trying to cut out all html rendering stuff from nginx to make it a load balancer / ssl termination point...  also cut out authentication stuff and index and all that....

     

    question no. 2 for damex....  is apache2 really required for modsecurity in nginx?

     

    wait a second that patch is HACKY!!

    NGINX_MODULES_HTTP="access auth_basic autoindex browser charset empty_gif geo gzip gzip_static limit_conn limit_req map proxy realip referer secure_link spdy split_clients ssi ssl upstream_hash upstream_ip_hash upstream_keepalive upstream_least_conn userid uwsgi"

    this also causes the same error...

  18. Wifi Problems

    lol portage builds it from source...  the question is what use flags did you have to enable?

     

    ./configure --help

     

    blah blah blah blah blah

    --disable-feature

    --disable-nls

    --disable-xyz

     

    so networkmanager with all use flags enabled should work from portage....  you and future users with the same hardware don't want that....  figure out the one is absolutely required for your hardware.  start with all flags enabled for network manager then start pealing them away 2 by 2 until something breaks.  then document the hardware requires the flag in the networkmanager wiki page.

  20. Pre-built kernels!

    in News and Announcements

    Posted

    im going to ??? at the implementation as its raising the size of the stage3.  would it be possible to build the kernel & have debian-bin fetch the specific subarch pre-rolled kernel?  is this a general arch kernel that can be used with all the sub arches?  (is this what happened?)  i haven't even seen the stages yet so im more so asking what's going on.  are we still serving the stage3's with out kernels since i make my own vanillas?

  21. Any advantage using 'hardened' for the desktop user?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    i think the best way to address this is security sub pages....  as in a general security page, then security/threesixestake security/drobbinstake security/olegstake security/physical security/hardening security/selinux security/apparmor security/applicationsecurity security/networksecurity etc etc etc so that it would be able to be very branched out and specific in the same breath.  we could have the extremely broad topic then boil everything down to a tightly knit highly secure system quickly.  skim through all the garbage and just have essentials.  like i need to work on speeding up /dev/random quite a bit more and the entropy daemons that can feed it with more data....  i need to figure out hashing files and salting them, need to figure out gpg...  need to figure out encfs, or luks auto decrypting at boot.  physical security is also a huge topic, how physically secure is your server/laptop etc.  can i break your laptop lock with a hammer?  can i use my lock picking expertise to break your lock open in 2 seconds?  do you have video watching the servers?  are the servers rack mounted?  are the servers vulnerable to nuclear attack, and mirrored off site multiple times?
