[gentoo-user] Sorta OT: cant connect ipad to a courier imap ssl server

2011-12-09 Thread W.Kenworthy
I am having a problem connecting an ipad via ssl to a gentoo courier
imap ssl server.  Its working fine with gentoo/evolution but I get a
segfault in the server when the ipad tries to connect:


couriertls[12283]: segfault at ec9c78e ip 4c144feb sp bf95557c error 4
in libc-2.12.2.so[4bfff000+183000]

Ive rebuilt most of the packages involved and getting nowhere.  Can an
ipad use a courier imap server over ssl?  Theer are a lot of bugs over
the years for both courier and apple IOS and the only solution Ive seen
thats said to work is turn off ssl.  The ipad does work fine without
ssl!

I am currently travelling and my laptop works fine over ssl and also via
an openvpn connection which software is apparently not available for the
ipad.

Can anyone offer a solution - even some way to set a static route on the
ipad to connect to the tunnel running on the laptop would work.  I have
used RIP from the router to tell the ipad the routes in the past - but I
dont have access to the router here to set up RIP :( - and of course I
can find any RIP implementation for the ipad to allow it to read the
laptops RIP routing updates :(

Seconded. In addition, if you ever need to read East Asian characters,
there is a good extension to w3m called w3mmee which supports multibyte

Not too long ago, I was using elinks for the same reason, but found
that sites were complaining about the amount of js support, telling me
to upgrade :-(

If you're able to buy 2nd hand, you can get some utter bargains (8 - 16 port) 
on eBay.

Alternatively, single-port units are pretty affordable new, if you're able to

Another vote for lynx here, though I also have to have elinks for those 
times lynx is too "bare bones". The javascript and tabs do come in handy
sometimes, but lynx is faster, prettier, and renders most sites well enough.

In my experience, elinks has the best support for showing you

There is a Squirrelmail document recommending that the Squirrelmail
data and attachments directories are established outside of the web
server's reach.  /var is given as an example.  They also recommend
root:apache 0730 for both directories.

This is a little disturbing because my Squirrelmail data directory was
created under the webroot as apache:apache 0755 at some point.  Would
this have been done by Gentoo?  Should I file a bug?

That is the script which sets the location of the attachment
directory, which I think is what you meant.  I could be wrong but I
think Stroller was referring to a script that actually creates the
directory.

I don't think there is a script that automatically creates the directory.

The two aren't mutually exclusive; using the previous example, we have,

  php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/www/example.com/www/tmp
  DocumentRoot   /var/www/example.com/www/public

so Apache can't serve up the temporary files. But sticking them both 
under /var/www/example.com/www does allow you to use tighter 
open_basedir restrictions.

I'm not sure. There's probably a policy that says one of two things:

  1. Ebuilds should by default set up everything as securely as
 possible, or

  2. Ebuilds should not mess with upstream

I've honestly never used Gentoo's webapp stuff; it confuses the hell out 
of me.

My new server has one on the mainboard (Tyan S5512GM4NR) that has a web-
interface from which I can start a java-app for remote desktop.

Other options: reset/power control, online read-out of sensor-data and I can 
patch the BIOS without starting the server.

First time I got this and I like it enough to want it for future servers.

[gentoo-user] AVCHD on Gentoo

2011-12-09 Thread James
Hello,

Background:
Well it's time for a new camcorder rig.
My old sony (sr42) allowed me to mount the 
hard drive and copy the files around 
the net using standard linux commands
cp or scp very cool even if not intended.
I would then plug the usb cable into the shoe
(cradle for the camera) into the xp pc
and use the one touch button  sony software to 
burn a dvd. Nice and simple. A raw copy of the
mp4 files on a linux system, and burned
DVDs that just worked everywhere. Point
kaffine to a dir, and it auto plays the
files in sequence, like a movie. Simple 
and cool.



NOW.
AVCHD is the camera version of H.264.
I guess I need to burn these to blueray
to keep the high res (HD 1920 x1080) wide
screen format.

How do folks process this sort of video
and what software do you use? What camcorders?

Do you burn the blueray disc on a gentoo system?

If you use PC software, what is the best to use?
Move the finished movie over to a linux system
for storage and replay; any issues?

Any discussion is welcome, as I really want a Gentoo
centric solution to using a high end camcorder.

I'm looking at Sony gear just cause I have an sony
tripod that may not even work with the newer
sony cameras

Sony HDR-CX550V (low end)  and up (Sony NEX-VG10),
but other suggestions are most welcome. Recording
on to the linux multimedia server is paramount
for me. If I have to use DOZ to process the 
video, I can live with that, but would prefer
to do the post processing of the H.264 files
on Gentoo. 

My target applications is sports recording,
particularly basketball games in high resolution,
so any advice on wide-angle issues is also of 
keen interest to me.

James

I use Kdenlive for GUI (which uses MLT as backend) and my camcorder is

I'm not an audio professional with experience with different tools, so
I couldn't tell you if it's necessarily "good", but Audacity has a
noise filter. Select a range in your sample that consists of nothing
*but* noise, and tell it to collect a noise profile. Then select your
entire sample, and then have it apply the profile to remove that
noise.

Obviously, the poorer your S/N ratio is to begin with, the worse your
results will be.

>Lynx : I've been using it daily since 1996 .

I have used it during my new installation on x86_64 to read the handbook
of Gentoo. Problem was, that the lines there were too long to fit into
the 80x24 window on console.

The lines were truncated and i had to guess what would be displayed
without truncation. ;) Maybe there is a way of horizontal scrolling
which i had not found.

 Looking to which package it belongs to, "equery" found none. I have 
put a quite simple version (as explained here:

In another machine I have at the office, sound works great without 
ever having pulse installed. And there is no "/etc/asoud.whatever"


I will recompile the kernel to remove a loop device that is going 
default every time.


Will post the results.

I noticed this in my updates tonight.  This may be what you need to 
install or check into.

From what it says, it is what mixes sounds.  That's my thinking anyway.

Yes, exactly. The first time you were missing
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR, it should point to /lib/firmware if you've
emerged radeon-ucode.

Yes,that's right, when I checked my .config file I found that 
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIRis /firmware, then I corrected it and emerge 
xorg-server and twm.Command "X -configure" executed successfully , it did 
generate /root/xorg.conf.new.After that I used "X -config  /root/xorg.conf.new" 
, then screen turned black andOS can't response to any input.Then I "cp 
/root/xorg.conf.new  /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and "startx",but the result didn't 
change, was OS crashed?

See if you can access it using ssh from another PC.  Then check 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log for any error messages.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge -j, make -j and make -l

2011-12-09 Thread Michael Mol
Quick update...I now have two of these things set up in a distcc cluster
with my Phenom 9650. ~530 packages in 228m 34s. There's an even larger
initial explosion of parallel emerge jobs, but it spreads out very
nicely...I may have to increase the -j parameter in MAKEOPTS. I'm also not
certain if distcc is properly deferring jobs to the local host, but I got
the impression the local machine was getting a doubled workload when I had
127.0.0.1 in/etc/distccd/hosts.

links uses [] for horizontal scrolling. I also like how it handles
tables. But: I recommend to install all four (or at least lynx, links
and w3m), as all have shortcomings/quirks and advantages (e.g. when
dumping html as text results vary and with what options you can "tune"
the result).
