Comments:

<0> what is the maximum number of swap partitions you can have?
<1> grettch: mirrorselect
<1> or edit make.conf
<2> yep
<1> i duno about swap
<2> and why would you want more then one swap partition?
<1> raid
<2> oh
<3> felixo add the mirror in make.conf in use flags??
<2> I don't see why you couldn't fill a drive with as many partitions as you can put on a drive with swaps
<1> yeah but im not sure what the syntax is
<2> mirrorselect -i -o >> /etc/make.conf
<3> felixo Ok thanks
<2> mirrorselect -r -o >> /etc/make.conf
<2> emerge --sync
<3> Visseroth thankyou



<2> correct me if I am wrong felixo
<2> bear in mind that what I have you will not over write the current site in the make.conf
<2> it'll just add to it
<4> aloha
<2> if you want to remove the old one then you'll have to edit and delete it
<1> Visseroth: I have no idea I dont use mirrors :/
<2> oh, LOL
<2> you know how to debug too?
<1> just edit the make.conf directly, he knows which server he wants
<3> Visseroth so ,mymirror -r -o >> /etc/make.conf
<5> lesshaste: more than 10 swaps at least
<1> grettch: vi /etc/make.conf
<2> oh, or echo "server" >> /etc/make.conf
<3> Visseroth cool thanks
<3> felixo thankyou
<2> yep, it's in the handbook, LOL
<6> johnm: still around?
<5> lesshaste: "Presently, Linux allows 32 swap areas (this was 8 before Linux 2.4.10)"
<7> kerframil: just about :)
<0> wide-eye, ah ok thanks!
<6> johnm: I think I may have a lead on the 2.6.14-r5 regression bug (just posted on it)
<7> kerframil: do you happen to have the bug# handy?
<6> johnm: sure thing - bug 122018
<8> kerframil: Bug 122018; "sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.6.14-r5 fails to boot"; [Gentoo Linux :: Hardened]; {NEW}; Ren Fleschenberg <rene@korteklippe.de>->John Mylchreest <johnm@gentoo.org>; http://bugs.gentoo.org/122018
<0> wide-eye, where did you get that?
<5> lesshaste: man mkswap
<7> kerframil: interesting.
<6> johnm: it occurred to me suddenly that that is one code path he's using that's been touched
<1> lesshaste: how many disks do youhave ?
<0> wide-eye, :) it looks ancient!
<6> johnm: and incorrectly too (2.6.15.5 changes it again)
<7> kerframil: lol, yeah. which made me smile wshen I just thought about it just now :)
<3> Visseroth I'm trying to resolve this http://pastebin.com/588668 its a gentoo install on another box i thought changeing mirrors might work,
<6> johnm: so I'm really hoping that will fix it. in the meantime I've just finished doing the relevant/worthy parts of 2.6.15.5/.6 and solar is receptive to gradm changes if needed so I'm hoping we might be able to at another release out soon
<5> lesshaste: i doubt there was 2.4.10 linux in 1999 as the date says, somone didnt fix the date when they edited it
<6> johnm: I'm a bit concerned that the icmp bug in particular has been open for so long (even grsec itself patches that as of late)
<0> wide-eye, :)
<7> kerframil: yeah, I started to look at it locally last night, I'm trying to work time to get it out.
<0> wide-eye, why do you doubt it?
<6> johnm: I'll update the "tracker" bug pretty soon so keep your eye on it ;)
<6> johnm: and obviously test as hard as I can (been using the snapshot already indicated there for ages now)
<7> kerframil: I was hpoing that last night I could push a release - but testing broke :)
<6> johnm: what happened?
<7> kerframil: yeah, thats cool. I'll try and sort it tonight, if you have anything ytou want me to sort please send it my way over email as well to draw my attention.
<2> to tell you the truth I don't know what to tell ya. I'm not that good with linux, but I think you're missing something else necessary for xorg. I didn't have that problem, I guess because I upgraded to gcc3.4.4 and emerge -e system and made sure that was working first before moving to xorg
<6> johnm: ok I will do. but what did you mean with regards to brekage?
<6> breakage*
<7> kerframil: totally unrelated to the patchset. My brother abducted the PC without my knowing half-way through while I was in bed.
<2> but anyhow, I really have to be going to bed
<6> johnm: ah!
<2> maybe Johnm can help ya though
<2> night all
<7> kerframil: so I left it till today.
<6> johnm: ok, well hang on for the moment. I'm doing everything I can to bring it into ship-shape ;)
<5> lesshaste: bc 2.6 came out about a year or two ago, and 1.0 came out in early nineties, so we used 2.4 versions for 40% of the lifetime of linux?
<3> Visseroth how do i select a difrent gcc i might try that?
<5> lesshaste: also the linux 2.2.4 gives it away :)
<0> January 2001
<0> The long-awaited 2.4.0 kernel was released on January 4.
<0> :)
<9> wide-eye, I thought bc is only a toy



<0> bc== because
<5> no 2.6 came out a few years before christ was born...that's what i meant
<0> linux 1.0 came out in 1994
<0> wide-eye, linux is not fictional ! :)
<3> Visseroth gcc-<somthing> to find whats availibe?
<0> :)
<1> grettch: I dont think gcc is your problem
<1> paste the error in gentoo forums and you might find a match
<1> search for the error rather
<5> lesshaste: but linux isnt real, just some wavy magenetic fields that nobody can see
<1> if you are updating world something may have been broken
<6> johnm: in particular there are a two new vulnerabilities addressed in 2.6.15.5 (I'm not even sure of they've been filed independently in bugsie yet)
<6> johnm: so this is going to end up fixing a heck of a lot of bugs I reckon ...
<0> wide-eye, good point.. I thought it had some duality though.. sometimes wave, sometimes pain the arse
<3> felixo it is a fresh xorg-x11 insatll on dofrent box i have put it on forums ect i cant seem to get a answer
<9> kerframil, should I update my kernel?
<6> dli_: what are you using?
<9> kerframil, 2.6.15.5
<6> dli_: you're not affected by what I just referred to (another is closed in 2.6.15.6 but that only affects ia64 users)
<6> dli_: so no
<6> dsd_: hi
<9> kerframil, great, any remote vulnerabilities?
<6> dli_: no
<6> dli_: you're already covered for the icmp bug as of 2.6.15.3
<9> kerframil, when linux can be as secure as openbsd :(
<6> dli_: don't you think you're being a little melodramatic? ;)
<9> kerframil, I got rooted twice already :(
<6> dli_: besides, OpenBSD has its share of bugs (and its arguable as to whether its W^X protection scheme is better than, say, PaX)
<6> dli_: er ... twice?
<9> kerframil, first in redhat, so, I switched to debian, and rooted again, now, in gentoo
<6> dli_: how?
<9> kerframil, no idea, the first time, it starts to connect to irc.easynews2.com, the next time, it installed a huge spam email server and chattr of su, init,
<9> kerframil, I have no idea how they got in, I always thought I have a strict iptables already
<6> dli_: iptables is not going to protect you from bugs in deliberately exposed services or bad administrative procedures
<9> kerframil, it doesn't provide any service other than ssh
<9> kerframil, therefore, I think the kernel is there to blame
<6> dli_: did you go through such basic steps as disallowing ssh as root/restricting to specific users and setting strong p***words
<10> dli_: i'd be more apt to blame weak p***words
<6> dli_: I find that very unlikely
<9> kerframil, I don't even allow p***wd login, public key only
<9> kerframil, and using "AllowUsers"
<6> dli_: do you have other users besides yourself?
<9> kerframil, yes, just a small group, about 5 persons, but they have no root
<11> maybe a priviledge escalation bug then
<10> Jester: or sudo p***wd ? ;)
<9> Jester, no, I trust people here, and the rootkit is not just some lousy kids, it was for a professional spam server
<11> ah
<11> nothing suspect in the ssh logs either ?
<7> dli_: I would blame openssh actually, since there has been several vulns in that, likely around the same time.
<9> Jester, no, I don't see anything
<11> maybe one of your users has a weak p***
<11> that's been brute forced
<9> Jester, they even installed a big package of perl-CPAN
<11> ah
<11> hmm
<12> Hi I have troubles starting up X after uppgrading to xorg 7.0.. seems I can not load any graphicks modules.. like dri glx fglrx and so on.. I have posted my problem on this link http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=3161432#3161432 please help me.. dont know how to fix this
<9> Jester, no, we don't allow p***wd login, public key only
<11> oh yeah you mentioned it sorry
<13> my stateless autoconfiguration seems to be broken by bridging, how can i turn it of when up-ing the interfaces to bridge (eth0 eth1) and turn it back on before br0 comes up?
<14> if I'm doing a depclean, what's the best way to remove some packages from the list?
<1> hey, in your opinion which is the best ide chipset for a ide controller card? I need to buy a cheapie ata controller...
<9> kakky, as mentioned, emerge --n foo
<9> kakky, sorry, -n
<15> kakky: Add them to your world by emerging them seperately.
<16> RiverRat, what's the best way to emerge kde and the fastest ?
<14> thanks dli_
<14> and RiverRat
<1> does writing to a fat part take consirably more time than ext, xfs in linux?
<15> Distro^Junkie: I don't know. I just emerged it like everyone else did.
<16> ok
<15> felixo: It shouldn't unless it has to split the file because of scattered files and looking for free space.
<1> cool
