Uninstalling dbus and *kits (to Unfacilitate Remote Seats)

[miroR]

But also pulseaudio needs to be downgraded to last years version 2-something

If you ask me, pluseaudio is one of the first things to get rid off if you want a sane system
It's one of "these" programs. You know who is (was?) its main developer, right?

No, I don't know.

Lennart Poettering - the systemd's guy.

Thanks for the info. I think I won't use pulseaudio anymore.

Of course this isn't a reason to stay away from pulseaudio. But somehow his
"creations" remind me these creatures from "The Thing" horror movie
Here's the particularly good scene which marvellously depicts its relations to GNU/Linux world.
Looks familiar?

I couldn't download it in Debian (Gentoo still not ready for cloning and use online, and yes, lots of
_those_ programs in Debian...), but, I couldn't youtube-dl it:
(EDIT Sat May 31 19:54:46 CEST 2014: corrected typos in the sentence above)
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/3021
I saw a small portion of it in iceweasel (the Debian's Firefox).
Tell me which exact minute (and appox. seconds) to start watching at... if it is important...

jonathan183, thanks. I'm studying:
mdev on Gentoo Wiki
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev

and certainly your info could make a fine reference, for my transition to mdev,
and for other readers.

But I'm still waiting to see what khai will say on my lack of clarity
now, with the question I just put for him, in the immediately previous post to
the this Tractor Girl's post.

EDIT : wrapped up manually, as suggested by khay to whom I own having the
solution to install problems in the mdev-like-a-boss install

[Tractor Girl]

Link automatically should start playing at 1:25 - but you probably don't have flash on your system (which I could expect )
Anyway interesting part is between 1:25 and 2:15

I was also considering switching to mdev but for now I'll stick with eudev. I need initramfs anyway because of luks and lvm, and eudev's main developer is Anthony G. Basile himself.

BTW You might be also interested in Neddy's Old Fashioned Gentoo:

Looking into.

Why is there no guide on True Privacy in Gentoo? Of course, because nobody will
admit they fight against it (like the *kits and stuff authors, like the NSA's
SELinux. How could they possibly admit?

We must find a way to spread True Privacy in Gentoo...

By the way, my head in now reeling alittle with overload...

If only I get khai's or anybody else in his stead reply as to SELinux
and remote seats being just an inexistent bugbear or being very very real
surveillance on us?
(Of course that is part in the overload that I feel, but I'm passionalte about
freedom.)

If you want to offer me advice then I'd suggest you provide something of more substance than this "man of straw".

No, khay, I see you are a class away from me, I'm not trying to offer advice, I'm fighting for our common cause.

miro ... your "advice" was that I "pls. try and notice how many people can't easily understand it if it is not explained to them in more detail [...]" ... that is a strawman, as its something that I am quite aware of. You then link this thought with "[...] not just [for] a few elite" and drift off toward the "threat" that is "remote seats" and "selinux". Not to labour the point but there are a number of jumps in logic that shift from my comment re your presentation to what you are now assuming is our "common cause".

Remote seats, of the kind made clear previously in this text, and in the previous posts, purposefully not accomodated for there, I guess?

The problem is, nothing has been "made clear" ... and the above sentence illustrates exactly how unclear (and incomprehensible) your statements often are.

OK, khay, I'll try a question as counter-argument for, as you claim, lack of clarify and the threat being just a man of straw:

A "counter-argument" has to refer to the "argument", and my argument was simply that your statement above is incomprehensible. I never said anything about "the threat", but now it seems this is what the discussion is all about, and I had best respond to it as I claimed "the threat [is] just a man of straw". The problem here is that if you engage in such flights of reason then no real discussion is possible. You have a fairly comprehensive catalogue of conspiracies, censorship claims, etc, almost entirely reasoned from false premises, each of these is accompanied with an extended diatribe on the subject, links to youtube, your previous diatribes, etc, that if anything makes a mockery of any legitimate discussion and debate. If I were similarly inclined I could point to you and say "an NSA sponsored psy-op to cloud the *real* issue" ... but having studied logic, epistemology, etc, I know that true conclusions *only* come from true premises, and so only claim what is capable of being proved to some degree of certainty. Hypotheses are fine, but they can lead you down paths without egress if you fail to keep some check on your assumptions.

Does, in GNU/Linux, precisely in the kernel, from www.kernel.org, exist the infrastructure that an attacker could use to, once he/she can observe a system, remotely of course, in real time: to bind mount a new filesystem over an existing one to backdoor any binary on the system

Yes, its called Descartes Demon ... I was however going to say "No", because such is the nature of the my deceit ... and having said that you might now wonder if this is simply a double bluff.

Can anyone positively, and on what basis, in this post-Snowden revelation age, and with all the numerous people and code of the kernel.org, say that it doesn't exist?

I should ask you to provide burden of proof for the assumption that that such a thing does exist ... or is this an idle hypothesis?

I'm studying: mdev on Gentoo Wiki [...] and certainly your info could make a fine reference, for my transition to mdev, and for other readers.

Just FYI but the wiki suggests enabling the mdev useflag on busybox, mdev-like-a-boss uses a separate package (sys-fs/mdev-bb) ... so somewhat different methods.

Why is there no guide on True Privacy in Gentoo? Of course, because nobody will admit they fight against it (like the *kits and stuff authors, like the NSA's SELinux. How could they possibly admit? We must find a way to spread True Privacy in Gentoo...

This statement is based on premises that effectively can't be proved, it further conflates "true privacy" (if such a thing were even possible) with the grand narrative of a mission to spread it on everyone's toast ... anyone with some level of critical reasoning will read this and dismiss it ... even if there is a need to improve, educate, inform, question, criticise, etc, the current political, social, economic, etc, nature of free/open software development.

There, respectable colleague khai!

I have carefully read the above. I would like to conclude the discussion, by
doing two things, that won't bring new developments into here.

First, and allow me to complete the quoting order as it was (my credit being
there to jonathan183):

jonathan183, thanks. I'm studying:
mdev on Gentoo Wiki
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev

and certainly your info could make a fine reference, for my transition to mdev,
and for other readers.

Just FYI but the wiki suggests enabling the mdev
useflag on busybox, mdev-like-a-boss uses a separate package (sys-fs/mdev-bb)
... so somewhat different methods.

Thnak you for that. I will always thank you for any help, in the past or in the future.

And second, and it wouldn't be possible to easily and clearly say it without
the need to reply to other of your arguments that are not all necessary here,
and would actually derail us away from the purpose I started this topic for.

Allow me to simply copy that part of the argument, exactly as it was before,
and as is available previously in this topic (currently) under the following
address:

Uninstalling dbus and *kits (to Unfacilitate Remote Seats)
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-9 ... ml#7560314

khay, as the contrary of my way of writing, you
write so tersely that I often revisit what you wrote a few times before I
understand it.

miro ... if by terse you mean concise, then yes.
Your comparison otherwise is purely subjective and unarguable.

And while often what you do or write is the right thing,
pls. try and notice how many people can't easily understand it if it is not
explained to them in more detail. GNU/Linux should be viable as, kind of even a
way of life, for not just a few elite. GNU/Linux, to me, is also a way of life,
I want more good people in it, in the right way, the free way, no remote seats.
Remote seats are, along with NSA's SELinux, the huge threat to freedom
of GNU/Linux users.

If you want to offer me advice then I'd suggest you
provide something of more substance than this "man of straw".

Remote seats, of the kind made clear previously in this text,
and in the previous posts, purposefully not accomodated for there, I
guess?

The problem is, nothing has been "made clear" ... and the above
sentence illustrates exactly how unclear (and incomprehensible) your statements

My reply, which I am seeing available at:

Uninstalling dbus and *kits (to Unfacilitate Remote Seats)
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-9 ... ml#7560336

was basically trying to reclaim my clarity on the issue. Not attacking you. No.

And I did it by pulling arguments much bigger than not just me, but also a
multitude of me's and a few of you's put together, and that is, I tried to
point to what I spent days writing previously about, in my search for freedom
on the internet, to which I still believe GNU/Linux, and Gentoo is the
strongest in amongst of all the sisterhood of its distros, is the likeliest
best choice.

Namely, I tried to reclaim clarity of the title of this topic and that it was
explained clearly by me in the introduction at the beginning, by pulling
arguments of someone really big in what makes possible for privacy, and that is
in the security.

I tried to pull in the thought which I to that purpose cited verbatim and which
was writen by arguably the greatest in amongst the (known) experts in GNU/Linux
security, Bradley (Spender) Spengler, https://www.grsecurity.net .

But, apparently, you didn't recognize his thought, because, apparently, you
refused to read my introduction to this topic, which I am seeing under:

Uninstalling dbus and *kits (to Unfacilitate Remote Seats)
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-9 ... ight-.html

where there is to be found in clickable:

Air-Gapped Gentoo Install, Tentative
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7 ... ml#7558880

I wrote a lot there.

I would however, not like to repeat anything here which I already wrote there.
And many replies to your almost accusations against me maybe could even be
contructed by simply copying and pasting some of what I wrote there.

But I kindly ask you, let's not widen this discussion any more.

(I am still at the second of the two things that I wanted to solely do in my
reply... I wish I was nimbler with words...)

The question that I asked and which you didn't give a satisfactory reply, this
one:

Does, in GNU/Linux, precisely in the kernel, from www.kernel.org, exist the
infrastructure that an attacker could use to, once he/she can observe a system,
remotely of course, in real time:

to bind mount a new filesystem over an existing one to backdoor any
binary on the system

Can anyone positively, and on what basis, in this post-Snowden revelation age,
and with all the numerous people and code of the kernel.org, say that it
doesn't exist?

And if yes, where that ability was applied, in what structure/something else of
the kernel, and when was it introduced, in what year A.D. or what version of
the kernel?

and to which the reply is: in 2011, kernel 2.6.37... kernel capabilities

That can easily be understood and correctly replied to, if you read this
Spender's article here:

False Boundaries and Arbitrary Code Execution
https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2522

and my take on it, included in the wider context of remote seats is:

Air-Gapped Gentoo Install, Tentative
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7 ... ml#7558880

So pls. notice that I didn't introduce anything new, not even about your
accusations, also because I would like this topic here to be about

Uninstalling dbus and *kits (to Unfacilitate Remote Seats)

and possibly offering other users who will read this more instructions as to
what to install instead, just like there has been precious help from Tractor
Girl, jonathan183 and you khayyam in regard.

Code: Select all

mybox somewhere # equery d pulseaudio
* These packages depend on pulseaudio:
media-libs/libsdl-1.2.15-r4 (pulseaudio ? media-sound/pulseaudio)
media-libs/xine-lib-1.2.5 (pulseaudio ? media-sound/pulseaudio)

But, luckily, we've (finally) understood pulseaudio is a para-package. Namely:

Installing Olde Fashioned Gentooee
https://dev.gentoo.org/~neddyseagoon/Ol ... ntoo_3.xml

where, among other valuable advice (although I might rather go the mdev from
Portage or Slashbeast's mdev way), there is:

pulseaudio - ...not known... ...to actually add anything

`

Just what to do? I subsist on backups, and whenever I mess up and can't
maintain the system consistent, I still can revert to a previous point: to the
bit, because I do the system partitions/devices backup with dd. So:

Code: Select all

# emerge -C pulseaudio

( a digression not connected to pulseaudio removal, what's this?, I followed
Gentoo Handbook just a few weeks ago, and already (and it's in
jonathan183's --info too) it's deprecated stuff? )

euse can't yet handle package.use, so, I removed the pulseaudio instances in it
manually.

Code: Select all

mybox somewhere # grep -r pulseaudio /etc/portage/*
/etc/portage/make.conf:     xattr xine xv xvid zlib -pulseaudio"
mybox somewhere # 

Clean from pulseaudio.

( remember I don't need the flags -a nor -v since I have --verbose and --ask
in make.conf )

Code: Select all

# emerge -tuDN @system @world

and, to cut it short, those packages that emerge reported further above in this
post, that they "depend on pulseaudio" (in the start of this post), are now
being recompiled, just it's media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta instead of
gst-plugins-pulse, and all are with -pulseaudio flag (or that flag not
shouing).

While they are compiling, let's use jonathan183 masks, but you'll see it,
those ( -systemd -udev ) only later, in my next emerge --info.

But I have to interrupt my stream of thought here, because I see that, in my
case, the negative (do-not-install) flags were not reported in the emerge
--info that I posted some two days ago, in this topic, and they are in my
make.conf. I don't get it.

( jonathan183, why -pam, is it also one of the programs not needed
really? )

Here's what, e.g., got installed of gnome, regardless that I have -gnome (and
it's not reported by emerge --info that I posted in this thread), in the
make.conf:

Code: Select all

mybox somewhere # emerge -s gnome | grep -B2 -A4 'version installed: [0-9a-zA-Z]'

So the already mentioned Olde Fashioned Gentooee link that Tractor Girl
suggested might have a better imposing solution, masking:

Code: Select all

# cat >> /etc/portage/package.mask
sys-auth/polkit
sys-auth/consolekit
media-sound/pulseaudio
sys-apps/systemd
#

So now my package.mask looks lke:

Code: Select all

media-video/libav
gnome-base/gconf
>=app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.22
app-accessibility/at-spi2-atk
app-accessibility/at-spi2-core
sys-apps/dbus
x11-libs/gtk+:3
sys-auth/polkit
sys-auth/consolekit
media-sound/pulseaudio
sys-apps/systemd

I don't know whether to add sys-fs/udev to the package.mask now, or
after I try either mdev from portage, or Slashbeast's mdev.

I have found another advice that I want to apply...

When (and if) Gentoo will switch to systemd?
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7 ... ml#7482166

...and let's vaccinate the sysem against systemd:

Code: Select all

There. Added to /etc/portage/make.conf .

In the meantime, those packages have recompiled.

The complaint left on the console is:

But I know udev, which I still have in the system, depends on systemd, and I
now must not reboot, I think, before transtitioning to mdev.

I think I'll choose Piotr Karbowski's mdev-like-a-boss.

Already cloned it. Can peruse it in my cgit on my apache.

Read the readme a few times, and will read it again now (well in these new
circumstances).

Since I am building an air-gapped system, surely I opt the for manual install,
and not going online to add the overlay.

I followed the guide, the README.rst, up to:

- Now you can reboot, mdev should be up and running.

I'm thinking hard if there's anything more to check, since I'm not so advanced
really...

Hmmm, really looks all set. I'll stow away the emerge --info (which I will
then post only if things go wrong; otherwise I'll post the final emerge --info
once I finish this transition).

I already know one thing that cannot work without further arrangements:
I have lvm2, but the system device are not on lvm...

Or? Looking into here:

initramfs: fsck fails on boot, root partition not found
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7 ... ml#7038128


I think I'll need to do dmsetup mknodes, but later. I'll try and reboot now,
and see..

I'm booting.

The first errors that I see are only (this is manual literal copying on another
machine now):

Code: Select all

mdev: unknown user/group 'root:kvm' on line 26
mdev: unknown user/group 'root:kvm' on line 29
mdev: unknown user/group 'root:kvm' on line 61

and no other errors.

And I was wrong. lvm2 works out of the box.

X probably won't work with mouse and keyboard...

I have (almost) plain X, just openbox that I start from
console with startx.

No! It works. Let's see if firefox will show me Piotr's git that I arraged with
'clone --bare ...' for my cgit.

Works!

So I still have evdev installed. I thought (well I read somewhere, but can't
remember where) that I should instead install ???dev-mouse and ???dev-keyboard
(don't even remember the names of those packages correctly)...

Anyone can clarify that point?

(the JMicron lines), but that could also be of the evdev package's doing
(another unclear point for me).

Piotr, I have two more questions for you/others, if you're reading this.

First, I didn't see the mdev-like-a-boss was digitally signed. Why don't you
sign it with your PGP signature, or how do I check it if you did (and I dind't
find it)? BTW, myself, I haven't figured out how to sign packages for GitHub
( https://github.com/miroR/ )

Second, is it really so hard to push it into portage, is there no dev who
could do it if it is, for some reason, not viable for you to do it?

At the first short use, your mdev works almost as perfect drop-in replacement,
and I tend to trust your work. True, mine is not a complex system (yet).

My problems, so far, are solved, I think.

Thanks a lot, Piotr!

Why?

Maybe because the line to run was not the line in the README.rst from the git repo...

But it should have been:

mybox somewhere # rc-update del udev-mount default

Hmm, what then with udev-mount ?

Code: Select all

mybox somewhere # rc-update add mdev default
 * service mdev added to runlevel default

I'll try and reboot now.

and the rest skipped too fast (without time to hit (Scroll Lock? or Pause
Break?, I do it automatically), but nothing in red anymore, I think...

The UUID='123456-whatever-' was from the /etc/fstab, and all I needed to do is:

Code: Select all

# vgchange -ay

and then:

Code: Select all

# mount /the-mount-point/

For the network, even though:

Code: Select all

# ifconfig
lo: flags...
...[snip]...

that is, showed only loop device, I was able to:

Code: Select all

# ifconfig eth0 192.168.X.X

and the SOHO is there.

Yeah, but I forgot that X won't be found!

Easy to start it, but, no mouse, no keyboard.

Luckily, the SOHO there, logged in from other system, couldn't kill startx, but
could reboot.

Found what packages might help, it's:

xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard

according to:

kernel 3.7 vs device manager (like udev)
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-9 ... ml#7207056

Good thing (lest I forget): the JMicron (see previous post) is visible (and
very likely woriking).

As for the nics, the settle-nics script from mdev-like-a-boss has already run.

I know that because in the /etc/mactab it says:

Code: Select all

# Generated by settle-nics from mdev-like-a-boss.
eth0 ...

What I had to do is replace the enp7s0 with eth0 in the /etc/conf.d/net. Yet to
test whether that works. Should. So won't report if it does.

[ this is later, start ] only this was needed yet:

Code: Select all

mybox somewhere # cd /etc/init.d/
mybox init.d # ls -l net.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     6 Apr 19 21:33 net.enp7s0 -> net.lo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17415 May 11 17:17 net.lo
mybox init.d # rm net.enp7s0
mybox init.d # ln -s net.lo net.eth0
mybox init.d # 

[ this is later, over ]

And probably the last to do (sorry if I poorly order, but hope the info can be useful to others), is, make up for my forgetfulness to read the rest of the docs.

It says clearly:

Build xorg-server with '-udev' USEFLAG...

But it's not over. Yet. More in a minute.

Looks better... Just the eudev? What did I read about that.... Can't
remember.... But I search and find that Tractor Girl said blueness
(Anthony Basile) develop that package... I'll try. It's the creator of the Tin
Hat Grsecurity Hardevned, short lived GNU/Linux mini-distro...

( But I think I saw he was also maintaining SELinux, how could he? And I
really hate selinux )

I have to try without, and if only blueness would dedicate his talent to
Grsecurity instead ...

This is square one again...

Can this be ridden of, these udev's?

I don't think that it can.

And what if I now rebooted?

I already booted in with mdev (with, seems, some help from the leftover udev
stuff)...

I'll try, and then try and ask for more advice on Gentoo Forums, if I, but
some yet non understood circumstance, I don't successfully boot.

You know what it is?

It's because, probably for a fake reason, everybody, appears, even if they
don't, to support LP (the systemd's and many other of these programs's author),
or they are talked into supporting them, or showed only those options (sic!, for
many people, and not just users, as if we who don't want it, and work to
enable different options, didn't even exist; there are methods, yes there
certainly are methods, and they sure can be applied)... or yet some other
way...

Let's go just an inch deep under the hood, just see what is available.

No, I'm not going to discuss the methods emphasized above. Beyond my
time and ability to prove those, and if you don't see any, you probably won't
really ever understand for yourself. Sorry!

I'd only try and raise a query about why does portage behave in very
non-informative way, by default, in cases such as masking.

I want to (and believe others would want to see) what I masked, or have an
option to see also what I masked, when I search with 'emerge -s'. As well as I
remember, that used to be the case, seeing also the masked packages, those
that you masked yourself as well, but is not anymore.

I have gtk+ masked, and what I get when I search is:

I don't necessarily wont to shut myself down from information about the other
packages if I mask a package. I certainly do not want to do so in the case of
gtk+.

It's much worse with the gnupg, as I made an exhaustive insight here:

The problem there was, really, for me, not what is now, but what was before
moved to GnuPG 1, and that is, it was hidden from view, while perfectly
installabe...

So, while the claim is to make GNU/Linux more "useable", some things have gotten
more complicated, and you need to be able to go just a little (I bet the
depth, will, as will the useability claim, grow in time) under the hood, to
find out solutions.

Back to our case at hand, which is important for the installation of
dbus-like-a-boss that misses on just the final install of xorg-server, but
without any *udev and stuff, and which has otherwise completed flawlessly.

( Again, this is not the emphasized thing that I can't go into, on how the
systemd *udev *kits dbus' cause is furthered, watch and find out for yourself,
if you can. Just a note. Many indications, but not all, are given in discussions
like around what krinn wrote in:

( and no, I have no issue with what 'emerge -s' found here )

But, I don't have many options here.

Slashbeast is not around at this time, apparently... Haven't had any advice
that I could follow from anyone so far.

This 1.15.1 won't install without some *udev flags.

Let's mask it, and see if some earlier versions can be installed in no dbus no
*udev no *kit way.

I need X, and I don't know what to do now.

Maybe jonathan183 was right, and khay was wrong, and eudev is necessary.

But what I will first do, is backup my system, and then, if no advice on the
contrary, go the eudev way.

The backing up of my system will, it's worthy of taking notice, ensure that I
can revert to this exact install phase as I am leaving it right now.

What I'm saying, is, in some non-distant time in the future, I can go back, if
enough chance to succeed is indicated to me, and finish this otherwise,
apparently, complete and working mdev-like-a-boss install from this same
status.

miro ... sometimes less is more, there is soooo much output above that someone looking to help you can't see what the issue is because there is too much surrounding noise. By keeping your reports simple, "terse", etc, it makes it easy(ier) for the reader to identify the problem.

Code: Select all

(dependency required by "x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.15[input_devices_evdev]" [ebuild])

This states that INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" is set on x11-base/xorg-drivers, and as evdev requires udev (or eudev), and the provider is package.masked, a dependency is unmet. So, in make.conf set INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" and re-emerge x11-base/xorg-drivers, you should then be able to --depclean x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev and so avoid the above dependency issue.

Code: Select all

mybox somewhere # rc-status
Runlevel: default
 mdev    [  started  ]

mdev should be in the 'sysinit' runlevel ...

Code: Select all

# rc-update del mdev default
# rc-update add mdev sysinit

I just read the khay's recommendation, where he states he had no issues purged all (eudev as well).... Uninstalling dbus and *kits (to Unfacilitate Remote Seats) [...] search for, say, "it took less than an hour to transition"

Think ... does this information (and the link ... which the reader *may* follow/read thinking that perhaps this is relevant to your issue) provide anything but noise?

But this is definitely not the one hour that khay talked about... Well, not on my system... On my system, so far, it is half a day, and not counting in the preparations.

Neither the mdev-like-a-boss README nor the mdev page on the wiki states clearly that INPUT_DEVICES needs to be changed, but they both mention that evdev requires udev, and the above output from emerge does provide some clue as to whats going on, and the changes required. Yes, it look me "less than an hour", but I knew exactly what I was doing and am generally capable of understanding and resolving problems as they arise. I might have been a little more inclined to offer my assistance had this thread not been so difficult to parse and had you not decided to go off on a tangent with your "counter-argument" (yes, that *is* a tangent unless you think that linux capabilities, selinux, etc, etc, have some baring on the removing *kits, dbus, udev). So, again, as I tried to point out above (which incidentally became "the threat is a man of straw"), you need to think about your mode of presentation, and focus ... because honestly its really difficult for me to raise the energy to hit the reply button.

best ... khay

ps. its also difficult to read the thread when the insertions (via cut and paste from the terminal I assume) make the page format wider than the text (via extranious spaces). Reader have to scroll right then left to see the entire page.

[miroR]

In the light of the kind kayyam's reply, for which I sincerely thank
him,

what needs to be done is,

set:

Code: Select all

INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard"

in make.conf

( was: INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"
and that was what prevented X reinstall with -udev )

Code: Select all

I'll post a little more, to thank again khay for his solution that I
wasn't able to find on my own, and not much else. Tired, and need some rest
first.

( Just to point out that fixing the posts to fit in 1024x768 display like mine is probably a lot of work...
Of manully wrapping the console output...
I''ll try and do it, but I can't promise. It certainly would've been an overkill to do it while pasting... )

EDIT: just wrapped... was not such quick work to do, but... this is so much better for the readers!

It is more urgent to post this solution, so others could benefit as well.

Neither the mdev-like-a-boss README nor the mdev page on the wiki states clearly that INPUT_DEVICES needs to be changed, but they both mention that evdev requires udev, and the above output from emerge does provide some clue as to whats going on, and the changes required. Yes, it look me "less than an hour", but I knew exactly what I was doing and am generally capable of understanding and resolving problems as they arise. I might have been a little more inclined to offer my assistance had this thread not been so difficult to parse and had you not decided to go off on a tangent with your "counter-argument" (yes, that *is* a tangent unless you think that linux capabilities, selinux, etc, etc, have some baring on the removing *kits, dbus, udev). So, again, as I tried to point out above (which incidentally became "the threat is a man of straw"), you need to think about your mode of presentation, and focus ... because honestly its really difficult for me to raise the energy to hit the reply button.

best ... khay

ps. its also difficult to read the thread when the insertions (via cut and paste from the terminal I assume) make the page format wider than the text (via extranious spaces). Reader have to scroll right then left to see the entire page.

In the first place, unless I was enlightened to look up the make.conf and find the INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" in there and think, I wouldn't have done this without your help.

I was already abandoning mdev-like-a-buss thinking I couldn't make it.

So, in the first place, thank you!

Also, the readers owe it to you that I wrapped it up now, it's not easy to find the almost half hour of time to wrap it. I do use vim, but I don't know the advanced programming to be able to not have to go occasionally line by line to wrap some texts...

I would like not to say any more, because, what it important the most, is your kindness.

However, I can not throw the idea of the whole topic in the garbage, I disagree with you on the reasons for my opening this topic. It has to do with those things.

Can we leave it there at least for now.

Thank you again!

miro ... this can be fixed by either adding a kvm group via 'groupadd' or commenting the following lines in /etc/mdev.conf

However, I can not throw the idea of the whole topic in the garbage, I disagree with you on the reasons for my opening this topic. It has to do with those things.

My comments from the beginning were entirely directed toward your presentation, and they stand, there is too much tangential information, too much fluff, etc ... note in the above you quoted by entire post when there was no real reason to, you then reiterated what was said by me (re INPUT_DEVICES and the runlevel), showed us that the keyboard could input in 3x different languages, told us of the cgit status, etc, etc ... this just makes it harder for others to follow along, all you need say it that "it works" or what-have-you.

I told you it was too much for me (and I probably understand the problem well) so expecting that this is helpful to others is, I think, mistaken ... and there is no need to PM me and explain how this is an issue of knowledge, its not, as I was at pains to make clear its primarily about making yourself, and the problem, clear, so, for example, pointing others at a post by me stating "it took less than an hour" doesn't make anything clearer, it just adds to the noise. It seems you want to ignore this advice (as I seem to be repeating myself), but you do this at your peril, because I will eventually give up.

Thanks for this. I was going to live with it, but it's sure better this way.

If I saw that you were completely right, I would agree with you.

Whether you would help me or not. Repeating will not help me understand. I don't agree in all you propose.

Let this be the last, and pls. let me do things the way I best know and understand to.

Thanks again for saving my mdev-like-a-boss install, because I was going to stop trying.

I will always admit that so often you do just the right things, such as letting us, common users, have the normal GnuPG 1, and not the thingy GnuPG 2 (thingy as Tractor Girl made the comparison about such programs, let's take it in a wide sense of the world, to not disagree).

I'd like to post here various config files, to facilitate other users that might
have difficulty installing mdev-like-a-boss:

https://github.com/slashbeast/mdev-like-a-boss

A note: I've edited some of these files for posting them here so they fit
roughly on 79 columns as is the standard. They are not always in that shape in
my /etc/portage . They have long lines. So use with care.

( possibly some of the options are
necessary for mdev as can be found on the wiki:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev

)

( jonathan183, why -pam, is it also one of the programs not needed
really? )

see https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-9 ... s+pam.html thread, pam still pulled in consolekit

[Ant P.]

Problem: Remote hypothetical attackers have used hypothetical means to possibly subvert every component of the Gentoo OS stack to contain hypothetical backdoors for their hypothetical use and want to hypothetically gain access to an otherwise mundane system, which is now a bright red target by sole virtue of the improbable volume of incessant klaxon alarm screeds written by its operator.

Solution: Unplug the computer. Apply repeated blunt force to (in order) the computer's network interfaces, drive interfaces, input device ports, and CPU as it may have hypothetically been subverted by hypothetical government agents. The computer is now secure. Non-hypothetical attacks on forum-goers' sanity are also resolved as a side benefit.

Thanks, jonathan183, you have really been kind, and khay, and Tractor Girsl (whose humorois, in our topic, well... tragicomic actually, Youtube link that she gave I will cite in the upcoming post) ...

The link you gave is being studied here.

More development (possibly tending to fine conclusion), presentation being prepared.

For those who followed my squinting and wandering due to my ineptness in this
hard to see and find things Gentoo wood of concepts, you mush have noticed how
I didn't update for some 31 days.

Well I am trying to update now.

And the reason I hadn't before is exactly because of the Lennart Poettering
(and the Dear Leader personally, yes I mean Linus Torvalds), and other people
seem to force/allow for this windozation of Linux, and I do expect problems due
to thingycizing more programs, that haven't been thingycized before (refer to
the Tractor Girl's youtube link, in a post previously in this topic to
understand what I mean).

While rsync'ing my local mirror (which I achieved during the long quest in:
Air-Gapped Gentoo Install
(link given previously)
which is too much wandering to easily read, and if I re-explain that in clearer
terms, I'll give you a link right here)

So, while rsyncing, I simply downloaded, from the snapshots/ directory:

Code: Select all

portage-20140529.tar.xz
portage-20140529.tar.xz.gpgsig
portage-20140529.tar.xz.md5sum
portage-20140529.tar.xz.umd5sum

to later copy these in my /usr/portage/distfiles/, and "chown portage:portage"
them. Then:

Code: Select all

emerge-webrsync -k -v

does the same as what all the online syncing does, only nicer, and sooo much
safer (if the local mirror was checked and moved offline, actually on my SOHO,
safely).

emerge-webrsync is recommeded in the Gentoo Handbook, and has its
documentation pages for you to read.

This emerge-webrsync option is indeed amazing to me. I like the fact that all
is digitally signed in such, actually, simple and nice way.

You can see that it took me time, because I take really great care to do all
that I can to avoid viri and above all, surveillance. I wrote in the
Air-Gapped Install some of my ways of checking and transferring the mirror
distfiles/ (around 180G) to be available in offline SOHO.

So I'm trying to update my system:

Code: Select all

gbn distfiles # emerge -tuDN @system @world

paying special attention to mask or keyword changes that may expose
experimental or unstable packages.

- sys-fs/eudev-1.6::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
- sys-fs/udev-init-scripts-26-r2::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)

I bet mdev is viable for me too, who can accomplish these feats only after
long squints and gazes in the Gentoo wood...

There's only one package that won't go without no thingy packages way.

Its the one you can find if you search "udev", with both quotes.

Here is that line:

Code: Select all

[ebuild     U  ]   sys-apps/hwids-20140509 [20140317] USE="udev" 1,600 kB

What should I do? Probably masking:

Code: Select all

# cat >> /etc/portage/package.mask
>=sys-apps/hwids-20140509
#

That seems to have been necessary:

Code: Select all

gbn distfiles # emerge -tuDN @world @system 

...[snip]...

The paste originally intended to be put in here I decided it was better to
remove it, because only differences matter between it and the complete paste
above of the previous emerge output.

Instead, I decided to post the diff between the two.

Find it below.

Only the ending here left, because I won't rewrite what I wrote up to this
point.

...[snip]...

!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- sys-fs/eudev-1.6::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
- sys-fs/udev-init-scripts-26-r2::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

And I thought it'll all be well. I could have just hit Enter there, and all
the packages listed would emerge.

But, during my preparations trying to fix the presentation with vim, and
figuring out smarter ways to take and present emerge messages, and without
having messed with the system any more in whatsoever way, all of a sudden
emerge still wouldn't compile the packages, but decided to complain.

( at this point here I removed most of the second emerge output already posted
above, promising to post the diff instead )

############################################################
WARNING: due to some whitespace formating (I think), I can get the patching
below to really work, at this time. Tried for an hour at least, can keep trying
forever. Will tell you it I find the way.
############################################################

And so, now is the time to post the first diff, the one between the first
failing offer of upgrade, between the:

1-before-masking.txt

and

2-first-time-after-masking.txt

You can get 1-before-masking.txt by simply copying the longest code block
above in this post and putting it into a file.

However, the 2-first-time-after-masking.txt you will need to reconstruct by
patching the 1-before-masking.txt.

What follows is of course not intended for people I might end up needing
advice from, since they are skillful in the Gentoo forest while I an not that
much, but for the newer users than me.

To see what the 2-first-time-after-masking.txt really looks like, take the
1-before-masking.txt and take the code below, which is the diff as said:

and do:

Code: Select all

$ patch 1-before-masking.txt < 1-to-2.diff
patching file 1-before-masking.txt

What 1-before-masking.txt now has become is actually 2-first-time-after-masking.txt
that I didn't want to post, and anyone can see why now.

So rename it:

Code: Select all

$ mv -iv 1-before-masking.txt 2-first-time-after-masking.txt

That was the first time, before portage suddenly change her mind.

Here's what portage decided it deemed it has the right to request, and pls
mind that I didn't mess with the system in the meantime. I only did a few
extra 'emerge -s ...', 'equery d ...', but not much. I didn't change any
config files.

Of course, the diff, which I obtained in this fashion:

Code: Select all

$ diff 1-before-masking.txt 3-second-time-after-masking.txt > 1-to-3.diff

is, 1-to-3.diff:

I don't know if I will need help, but I also believe that I am contributing
too, so I don't look at my posting as solely asking for help.

So, if I won't be able to solve this issue (which you never know for sure, not
at my stage), then, I hope I am managing the presentation for bigger
GNU/Linuxers in such way that it is easier to (possibly) help now.

Not relinquishing the deriving idea of this topic, and that is unfacilitating
surveillance on users, if you didn't get the point of the title and the
introduction.

That would need dismissing people who really know security and whose claims I
base my deriving idea on, and noone even among the biggest people in the Gentoo
team I don't think can really do that. See my previous post and who wrote on
how to:

backdoor any binary on the system

if you haven't.

Back to down-to-earth techinal.

I will now show my next issues, which are really (bogus?) remaining issues.

I don't understand. I thought I removed those.

But I revisited the previous posts in this topic, and true, not even
khay explicitly states that eudev can be done without.

But I found in the previous posts that I unmerged sys-fs/udev-init-scripts...

Wasn't able to find that I uninstalled sys-fs/eudev... The two virtuals, I
don't understand if they need to be removed.

And a lot of packages do badly depend on eudev, so eudev I should remove from
package.mask, I think.

Removed sys-fs/eudev from package.mask

I'll reboot now because I'm not advanced enough to know for really certain
that these changes shouldn't possibly introduce any boot problems,and because
I have to try the changes to Slashbeast's /etc/mdev.conf that khay suggested
for the minor nuissance in my booting messages.

The editing did the intended, and booting is without a hitch.

Next, I need to compile the relatively very recent linux-3.14.4-hardened-r1,
setting proper Grsecurity options in, possibly giving another try to Gradm
(which I read somewhere that Slashbeast reported some of these --udev
probably-- programs make it a nightmare, and now it shouldn't be too hard),
and configuring the audio, but not necessarily in that order.

No. I thought I could move on, but no.
I still have an issue, I did go wrong, a little, somewhere, and a lot is not clear to me yet.

This is the issue, and it's the sole issue that I see on my system:

Code: Select all

# lsusb
unable to initialize libusb: -99
#

Investigating, ducking (I don't google)...

EDIT, just minutes later
WARNIG: not a paste, manual copy from my air-gapped installed Gentoo, typoes very possible

ddg.gg gave:
http://libusb.6.n5.nabble.com/libusb-16 ... 11536.html

so I:

Code: Select all

# export LIBUSB_DEBUG=9
libusb: debug [libusb_init] created default context
libusb: debug [libusb_init] libusb v1.0.18/10866
libusb: error [op_init] could not find usbfs
unable to initialize libusb: -99

EDIT 2:
unable to initialize libusb: -99
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-879569.html

EDIT 3: where I just posted link to here.

Now, if anyone clever watches this still. Where is it better now to post this
yet unsolved issue that may not be, and may well be related to my transition
to mdev and unclarity in regard to eudev and such?

Here or there?

That appear just ordinary.

So what is wrong? What is not loading the usbfs?

[miroR]

No. It's not just ordinary.

Something is missing.

I have a cloned system done whith the last backup of this one, the master (I
have just a few Gentoo systems).

And the last backup was... let me see.

Just three days ago. I love backups (when I have'em).

Just before I was helped by kayyam, and successfully finished this
probably on the whole successful transition toward no-remote-seat-facilitated
install.

I could straight go back, and reconsider a few steps that I afterward made.

By going back I mean, dd restoring the dumped system partitions and get to the
exact same, to the bit, status three days ago.

But let's see what I would get back (or what I lost, and why the usbfs is not
found).

This is the same command run on that system:

Code: Select all

g5n linux # cat /var/log/messages | egrep -i 'usbcore|hci|hid'

It's obviously something missing in the current status (which is not this last
