Well, if I put debug behind every line... IT WORKS ! It does not seem to produce debug messages, but at least it works :-D

It seems like there is something wrong with the file parsing of /etc/pam.d/apache2.

#%PAM-1.0
auth include system-auth debug
auth required pam_nologin.so debug

I read somewhere that you can force pam to debug by putting debug at the end of the /etc/pam.d/apache2 file, but it does not work.

Hello,

I cannot seem to get the mod_auth_pam working :-(

My configuration in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf :
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mediawiki>
AllowOverride None
AuthPAM_Enabled on
AuthType Basic
AuthName "secure"
Require group users
</Directory>


The error :

A few weeks ago I read an article on how to set up your GMail account as spam filter, described on : http://blog.faqs.it/?p=8

I have set up my postfix with my isp smtp server for sending e-mail following the http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Email_System_for_the_Home_Network .

Thanks to your help, I am able to connect to the nx server !

At first I got following error from the client :
612 ERROR: No valid subscription found.

Looking at http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR12D00432 I changed the permissions of the node.lic :
chown root:root /usr/NX/etc/node.lic ...

Restarted my ssh server and connected using the machine's IP address where I had to accept the key, and now I get :
NX> 200 Connected to address: 127.0.0.1 on port: 22
Warning: Permanently added '127.0.0.1' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

Since I had troubles with the freenx installation, I decided to give nxserver-freeedition a try. I unmerged everything I could find of my old NX installation, cleaned my portage overlays, package.keywords and package.use and finally deleted the whole /usr/NX directory.

When I emerge the nxserver ...

Hello,

I managed to get a MergedFb working on my ATI 9600SE, even with different resolutions and refresh rates for two monitors ! Now I want to run MythTV on my second monitor and let XFCE handle my first monitor.

For the moment, XFCE stretches the panel and the taskbar over the two monitors. If I ...

Ok, I switched the cards and put the video card (an old Matrox Millenium II) in the 4th PCI slot. After reboot, I got the same interrupt assignments as before, but the stuttering was gone !!! Then I had to do another kernel modification and rebooted, and it was back... Dmesg output, lspci -vvv was ...

After my motherboard died a few weeks ago, I bought a replacement board from AsRock. This board does not allow me to modify the interrupt assignments in the bios. Standard bios interrupt assignments are :

0: 27719 XT-PIC timer
1: 147 XT-PIC i8042
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
3: 0 XT-PIC ehci_hcd:usb1 ...

Hello,

Thanks to this thread I was able to install FreeNX under Gentoo. I've been using it for several weeks now and I LOVE it ! The only annoyance I have is when I have to share files between my client and server. Thusfar I resolved the issue by transferring files using SFTP : not very user ...

Doh ! Yesterday I played with some jumpers while testing the defect hd in another computer. One of them imposes a 2GB limit !!!! Now dd_rescue is doing its job and when that is finished, I plan on doing a gpart on the file and hopefully recovering my partitions. After a fcsk I will have to make the ...

dd_rhelp is now running and it says

max file size 2064384.0

Wow !!! Maybe this has something to do with the filesystem I am writing to ??? I formatted it as a reiserfs...

NeddySeagoon,

Thanks for your reply ! I downloaded dd_rescue and the dd_rhelp script and will reboot in Knoppix soon and see what happens...

In the mean time, I digged somewhat deeper into my drive characteristics and hdparm turned out this :

Hello everyone,

Last night, my primary hd crashed on me and now I am trying to recover it.

The partitioning on the disk (25GB in total) was :
hda1 : 64Mb /boot ext2
hda2 : +/- 512Mb swap
hda3 : ?GB /root ext3
hda4 : ?GB evms : disk segment attached to a lvm storage container lvm/store (disk ...

I want to lower the priority of the X-process.

The music player is the mythmusic plugin for MythTV.

uname -a :
Linux albert 2.6.3-gentoo-r2 #1 Wed Mar 3 23:22:10 CET 2004 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I'm using XFree 4.3.0-r3.

Hello,

I have some difficulties changing the priority of my X process because of stuttering audio. When I run top, I get :

As you can see, the priority (PR) is marked as 25. How does one ...

Works like a charm !!! only the FEATURES="nostrip" is necessary. Thanks so much for the info !!! I'm looking for months now why my gdb was not working with threads... Shouldn't someone enter a bug in bugzilla so this issue is resolved ?

OK, I might as well adapt the different ebuilds I want to use with qt-embedded to set the environment specifically.

Hello,

I'm trying to switch between a regular qt and a qt-embedded configuration. I need to build certain packages using qt-embedded variables, whilst others need regular qt. How can I solve this ?

One solution would be to create a qt-embedded user that has the same priviledges as root, so I can ...

I have exactly the same problem here with 2.6.3-r2

The i2c modules are simply not getting build ! Normally I use :
i2c_core
i2c_algo-bit (bit banging interfaces)
i2c_nforce2

Problem is that I can't even select the bit banging interfaces during the kernel configuration :
--- I2C bit-banging ...

It is the -funroll-all-loops flag that causes the problem.

What a relief to have a normal vim again !

What you could do is to copy the ebuilds from /var/db/pkg over to /usr/portage (but don't just cp -R the whole dir, that would break portage).

This little script does just that, just remove the echo to get it working. (Use at your own risk !!!)

#!/bin/bash
dir1=/var/db/pkg/
dir2=/usr/portage ...

Files are never removed from cvs, they're just placed in the attic so you should always be able to get old ebuilds from the Gentoo cvs tree.

Ok, and is there a way to automate portage so it looks automatically in the attic, or do you have to download each ebuild separately ?

I saw that it is ...

Genone wrote:Nope, the ebuilds have been deleted (just the usual tree maintenance).

Is there any tree available where I can still grab these old versions ?
