Yeah I thought I did it right. It turns out the problem was devfs but thats another story.

Anyway, I can see that my /tmp directory on this server that I've had running for a long time is only up to 38M. I still wonder though what a recommended size is and I've yet to find any "official" stance on ...

I've done this a bunch of times but I don't know what went wrong here. I'm setting up a test server at my house and I created multiple partitions as follows:

/dev/hda1 /boot
/dev/hda2 /swap
/dev/hda3 /
/dev/hda5 /tmp
/dev/hda6 /var
/dev/hda7 /opt
/dev/hda8 /home

They all have the approprate ...

That makes sense to me.

This is probably a very silly question. Obviously if you update something like apache or mysql for a security update you have to restart the service so that the changes take effect. Today there is a zlib security update which I applied. So, what if anything do you have to restart? I avoid reboot'ing ...

I posted a bug on this:

Apparently only the cvs version of libgmail works.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import libgmail

ga = libgmail.GmailAccount('myname@gmail.com', 'mypassword')
ga.login()
folder = ga.getMessagesByFolder('inbox')


At the final line it borks in the python interpreter spitting out all sorts of text and ending with KeyError: 'v'.

Is libgmail broken? I ...

The above command does not work because, for some reason, it tries to create /root/.callofduty every time its run. Anybody know why this happens or how to change the path?

Yes I'm aware of the nice command. I'm also aware of the sudo command but, as the nice man pages state, non root users can only lower the priority. I'm thinking if I run this command it will work:

# nice -n -20 sudo -u nobody /opt/call_of_duty/coduo_lndxed

I'll have to try it out when I get home.

I've been messing around just trying to get a Call Of Duty United Offensive server up for my home lan. Suprisingly, it was very simple. I'm wondering though, if I was to ever make this a public server how I would actually run the server as another user besides root. If COD ever got exploited I don't ...

Yeah I would try what jgomo3 said. If that doesn't work try:

# emerge procps

Not sure why that would work and rather then mysql's ebuild trying to emerge procps but you never know.

I'm trying to write an ebuild for jinzora. I used the phpBB ebuild as a guide to create this one. I understand the layout of ebuilds in general but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the webapp eclass. The only documentation I could find on it was the webapp.eclass file itself which is a ...

Well, I'm using beep-media-player now since I can't track down the cause of this problem.

Every time I try to stream a file from jinzora xmms hard locks. If I run it in a shell I get no output or errors. Playing mp3's works fine though. It seems to be an issue with .m3u files.

Anybody else experiencing this?

re-emerging python did the trick. Thanks guys.

Is there a list of what Mod goes to what key? I can't seem to find one.

Here is a hacked up python script to display the latest packages added to portage:

After some testing, it seems the masked version of mysql-python(1.2.0) does not suffer from this bug but 1.0.0 does and will eventually cause mysql to crash. I'm filing a bug.

From the mod_python FAQ:

If your mod_python scripts run for a while then you see:

My friend is running into this issue as well. This is insane. lspci shows this:

The nvidia module refuses to work. I'm going to try the:

modprobe nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=0

Maybe that will do the trick.

Well that didn't do the trick just to let ...

Wow this guide is totally awesome. I need to create a livecd for my job that will join a windows domain so I can recover files off a busted hard drive and put them up on the network shares. I think this might help.

I believe ssh will bind to what ever active network interface you have running.
