Yes, I ran into this when my e17 session's screensaver kicked in and it wanted a password. I could start a new X server and it would work properly, new console sessions on a vt worked fine, but the open one wouldn't authenticate me. Closing that session and starting a new was all I could do, so I have to assume the upgrade from pam-0.78-r5 to 0.99.6.3-r1 unlinked some pam stuff that the running entrance was still wanting to use. Strange that, I was under the impression that files are only fully unlinked once the last running process using it releases it. alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

That's what I remember being the issue when the card generally works but WEP doesn't.

[gentoo-user] syslog-ng facility
Hi,
I've installed syslog-ng and I was configuring it.
I'd like to separate ssh and named logs from messages, so I thought
each of that services had a "facilty", so I defined them and restarted
syslog-ng, but it fails saying that it does not know those facilities...
#filter f_named { facility(named); };
#filter f_sshd { facility(sshd); };
I have testes with named, sshd, bind, ssh...
So, how may I separate this services logs?
I used metalog and there you can use reg expressions, may I use it here
too?
Where may I find a list of facilities?
Cheers!

I'm adapting the 32 bit chroot on AMD64 howto to my needs (and keeping an eye on the stage 3 install handbook as well). You do this: mount -o bind the various bogo file systems as per the AMD64 howto, and extract a stage 3 tarball into it. Select a minimal profile like default-linux/x86/2006.1/server, mask any packages you know you need to lock to certain versions and 'emerge apache mysql php'. Let portage figure out the libs and stuff, you have better things to do with your time. True, you do end up with 300M more disk space consumed than you would like, but weigh that up against the cost of a month of struggling and it's a no-brainer. It turns out to be a lot easier than one would think. I'm almost done and it's taken me about three hours.

Hi Isern, I actually have the exact same problem, and someone was kind enough to help me so I'll pass on the same info. Basically my problem was that I hadn't enabled the proper IDE Chipset (or SCSI if you use S-ATA) in the kernel.

It's notoriously easy to misconfigure NFS due to an errant space, as whitespace is significant in exports(5). /home 192.168.1.100(no_root_squash,rw) means something very different from /home 192.168.1.100 (no_root_squash,rw) So, is it possible that there's a misplaced space, anywhere on the line? You might also get a "sanity check" with the command exportfs(8). This will parse your /etc/exports as NFS sees it and report back to you how NFS interprets it. If those don't turn up any leads, then I don't immediately have any ideas that spring out. If you're going into sanity check mode, it never hurts to temporarily throw out your firewall rulesets on each machine (but I don't really see how that could be an issue in this case).

[gentoo-user] How do I get KDE to start on boot?
This seems like a newb question. I've been using my Gentoo for a few years now, and since X/KDE/Gnome/etc. never seemed to be quite stable, I always booted into command lines and then manually 'startx' JICSH. But I find myself almost always doing that these days, so I suppose it's time to make the plunge so that X starts when I boot up. I'm still a bit worried about hibernation (which I don't have working anyways - yet), I recall there were issues with nvidia and suspending to HD/RAM if you were in X. That could be old news? Anyways, I can't get this to work. When I boot up, the screen is BLACK. Not just back-lit black, but like there's no power black. If I CTRL+ALT+1, I get to a shell prompt.

Re: [gentoo-user] How do I get KDE to start on boot?
Hi, This is what I use to start kde on boot. I let the xdm startup script launch kdm for me. localhost ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/xdm # Tell X to always start on VT7. Otherwise it autodetects the first available # VT, which means it has to wait until all gettys are started so it doesn't suck # up a VT that should have had a login prompt (very slow). # If XSTATICVT is on, the login manager will start as soon as possible during # the boot process. If you want X to dynamically start on the first unoccupied # VT after all gettys have started and you are using xdm, also remove the "vt7" # from /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. XSTATICVT="yes" # What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm | entrance ] # NOTE: If this is set in /etc/rc.conf, that setting will override this one. DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" The XSESSION variable in /etc/rc.conf is commented. I then have xdm start in the default runlevel. localhost ~ # rc-update show default ... xdm | default to add use 'rc-update add xdm default' as root localhost ~ # rc-update add xdm default I also have this session script in /etc/X11/Sessions: localhost ~ # cat /etc/X11/Sessions/kde-3.5 #!/bin/sh exec /usr/kde/3.5/bin/startkde Hope this helps, Craig PS.

[gentoo-user] sshd issues
Hey all, I've been using other distributions for a while (CentOS, Slackware, Red Hat, etc) and finally switching to Gentoo, however this oddness with SSH is getting to me. It seems when I SSH into my machine it uses "keyboard interative" mode, where as I'm used to every other distro using just "password" mode I think it is. I'm wondering if there is any way to change this. I tried comparing /etc/ssh/ssh_config between my CentOS machine and my Gentoo machine, and both files are pretty much the same, and everything is commented out anyway. Any light someone could shed on this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Perhaps you have omitted to do the 'exportfs -ra' step on the server. Even if the entry is in /etc/exports, it's not actually exported till you run that command. alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
