[gentoo-user] "net-firewall/xtables-addons" issues
Okay, after compiling hardened-sources-3.2.2-r1, I follow through with remerging net-firewall/xtables-addons-1.39 ... ... and it failed with an error, about unknown symbol or something. A Google search led me to this solution: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/8ef017a863038724?pli=1 Although the attached patch in that thread *seems* to be meant for xtables-addons-1.40 (not in portage yet), I tried applying the patches to xtables-addons-1.39 ... ... and it worked! However, a quick glance at upstream [1] indicates that upstream is already at version 1.41!! So... 1. Should I file a bugreport for xtables-addons-1.39? 2. Or should I request for xtables-addons-1.41 in the portage tree?

I have never had modules except for my nvidia driver. I see no reason for having modules unless for some reason some software requires something to be a module.

[gentoo-user] Anyone used NILFS2?
I'm very interested in NILFS2 and considering using it as rootfs. I read some good reviews and seems to perform okay in benchmarks. The automatic checkpoints/snapshots sounds like it could be useful. (I'm thinking especially to see prior versions of files in /etc for example.) Have any of you used NILFS2 and have any failures or success to report?

Thanks Paul! Thats a huge help...
Now if I could just get a constantly updated output of this (like

Why would you use "if"? You can easily use this :

you like (see the manpage)
Even better, thanks Paul...
watch -n1 "ps aux --sort=-%cpu | gawk '{ if ( \$3 > 1.0 ) { print } }'"
does exactly what I want...
Hmmm... is there an easy way to include the column headers?

To build on Grant's suggestion:
ps aux --sort %cpu | gawk 'NR==1; $3 > 0'

Hi all, Would anyone here be interested in being paid to create a hardened VM image for me that will run on a Microsoft Hyper-V host? If so, what would you be willing to do this for? Feel free to email me directly... Thanks Charles

It sometimes "breaks" and still has no checking-repairing utility. I never lost my data, but garbage collector couldn't work. Such things happen rarely, but may be dangerous in production.

Hmmm.. ok, this works beautifully, thanks!
But when I tried to incorporate it into the watch command like the other
one:
Original:
watch -n1 "ps aux --sort=-%cpu | gawk '{ if ( \$3 > 1.0 ) { print } }'"
Attempt at incorporating your command into this:
watch -n1 "ps aux --sort=-%cpu | gawk 'NR==1; $3 > 0'"
it gives me a syntax error:
Every 1.0s: ps aux --sort=-%cpu | gawk 'NR==1; > 0'
Fri Mar 2
16:19:01 2012
gawk: NR==1; > 0
gawk:^ syntax error
Any ideas on how to get this working in the watch version
Thanks Paul, this will be very useful to me...

This command allows you to choose any python currently on your system. You should only choose a python2 setting at this time. The commands: eselect python list --python2 eselect python set --python2 # only deal with python2 The command eselect python list --python3 eselect python set --python3 # only deal with python3 All three of those profiles (python, python2 & python3) are distinct entities. They are different and can each be set any way you want. I was only clarifying that before you removed python3.1 that you choose python3.2 for your python3 profile. Clearer? HTH, Mark
Re: [gentoo-user] Anyone used NILFS2?
If you're looking for a flexible filesystem, try btrfs. It is quite nice. It still needs some help in the performance department, but given a recent Linux kernel (say, 3.2) it works wonderfully. I use its snapshots and COW functionality the most. The only downside to it is that it sometimes is slowish when I do many writes in a short period of time. Also, fsync() still takes awhile, so applications that use it liberally, such as dpkg, can run very slow. Things which use SQLite also suffer under heavy write loads. For that reason alone, I wouldn't yet use it on a database server. I would use it on a read-mostly file server, however. -- Sent from my Ice Cream Sandwich-powered HTC G2 Please excuse any typos.

[gentoo-user] htop showing black screen
Hello everyone, I've recently installed 64bit hardened gentoo server in VirtualBox on our main server and I've emerged htop. After running it I *got only the black screen*, i wasn't able to kill it with ctrl+c and after that even *'kill -9' stopped working* from any other console/ssh session. I wasn't even able to run 'ps' or 'top', I could only end the ssh session. After losing some bunch of hairs I've *recompiled sys-process/procps* and everything went back to normal with htop happily working. So I'm just writing to let anyone know in case you run into some similar problem. I am curious if anyone has any explanation, but I've personally sorted that problem into weird-and-not-to-be-curious-about-anymore group. Regards, Peter

Put a backslash before the $, it needs to be escaped in that context.

"The system" isn't granular enough (I've been dying to use that geek- speak phrase :) when discussing portage, which is only part of a gentoo "system". List the files in sys-apps/portage and you'll see that none of them go in /usr/lib/pythonN.N/site-packages like mere ordinary python packages. They go instead in /usr/lib/portage, which is independent of your python version. However, try this trick: #head -1 /usr/lib/portage/bin/emerge #!/usr/bin/python3 You can see from that I've installed portage to use python3, even though: #eselect python list Available Python interpreters: [1] python2.7 * [2] python3.1 I still have my "system" python set to 2.7 like most of us, I suspect. At this point, the portage package obeys the setting of the python3 useflag to decide which python to use and I have my python3 useflag set, so portage announces "fixing shebangs" at the end of the emerge, and that's where the #!/usr/bin/python3 comes from.

Gentoo is installed but I can't get my USB->ethernet adapter to bring up an eth0 (or any other) interface. It works if I boot the Kubuntu USB key. I've definitely built the correct driver into the kernel (mcs7380). I'm going through an emerge world right now to bring everything up to date. Is there anything else I might need to do? - Grant

Ahaha, true... that's the default action if no action block is provided. I

I already ran --depclean and portage still works. I'll run python-updater again tho. I didn't know eselect treated them separately like that. Learn something every day.
