Gentoo 2008.0 is out!

buraxezer — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 09:44:50 +0000

The 2008.0 final release is out! Code-named "It's got what plants crave," this release contains numerous new features including an updated installer, improved hardware support, a complete rework of profiles, and a move to Xfce instead of GNOME on the LiveCD. LiveDVDs are not available for x86 or amd64, although they may become available in the future. The 2008.0 release also includes updated versions of many packages already available in your ebuild tree.

Updated installer: The installer now only performs networkless installations using the packages and ebuild tree on the LiveCD. It also contains numerous fixes for extended and logical partitions.
Improved hardware support: Moving to the 2.6.24 kernel added many new drivers for hardware released since the 2007.0 release.
Complete rework of profiles: Restructuring profiles allowed significant cleanup of redundancies, reducing developer maintenance and confusion. The difference for you is that profiles now appear in /usr/portage/profiles/ under default/linux/ instead of default-linux/. See the upgrading guide for more details.
Xfce instead of GNOME on the LiveCD: To save space, the LiveCDs switched to the smaller Xfce environment. This means that a binary installation using the LiveCD will install Xfce, but you're still free to build GNOME or KDE from source.
No LiveDVDs on x86 or amd64: In the interest of getting the release out, the release engineering team decided to postpone LiveDVDs because of problems in their generation. They may show up later—if so, we'll let you know.
Updated packages: Highlights of the 2008.0 release include Portage 2.1.4.4, a 2.6.24 kernel, Xfce 4.4.2, gcc 4.1.2 and glibc 2.6.1.

A big thanks goes out to our release engineering team members for their hard work over many months to turn 2008.0 into reality.

Developers give existing Gentoo council a mandate

Donnie Berkholz — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 09:18:41 +0000

I said this briefly on the gentoo-dev list, and I want to expand on it here. The council is Gentoo's leadership, and it's composed of 7 people elected by all Gentoo developers using a Condorcet-style ranking vote. Of the 7 people on the old council, 5 of them decided to run again and every single council member who ran was re-elected.

This is significant because the re-election was forced over miscommunication about a meeting, and this created some serious conflicts with a sentence in the Gentoo Linux Enhancement Proposal that created the current structure, including the council. I consider this a mandate, showing that Gentoo developers have confidence in the existing leadership doing what's best for Gentoo.

This was your chance to say yes or no, and you gave us a resounding yes. Since it isn't often we hear much from the vast majority of developers, this really means a lot to me in saying which directions we should go, based on who you voted for (graphs here). My interpretation is that you like what's going on now and where we're talking about going. I'd really love to hear more input from those of you who don't normally speak up, though. What can we do for you?

P.S. The 2008.0 release is out.

Футболко

LG.BALUKATION — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 02:07:48 +0000

Этой зимой (в январе) я заказывал се тройку значков и футболочку... Значки пришли ещё весной (в марте), а вот футболку прислали тока на днях!

Ну это жесть просто, заказ сделан 12 января, а бандероль отправлена лишь 11 июня - видать на ЛинуксЦентре или конкретный завал, или то ещё распиздяйство.

В общем я уж и позабыл, что всёж заказывал се футболку (т.к. давно присматривал и думал что всёж так и не заказал), как звонит батя и говорит что на моё имя бандероль пришла. Почти через неделю я всёж добрался до почты, чтоб её забрать и собственно вот, что там было:

Vote for the Gentoo council!

Donnie Berkholz — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 09:43:20 +0000

Devs, listen up--voting closes for the Gentoo council at 23:59 UTC today (Friday). Here I'm going to tell you my surprise underdog picks. By underdog, I mean people who I didn't realize I was going to rank fairly highly for before doing research. I dig through all my mailing-list archives of -dev, -project and -core, looking at all the recent posts by each candidate. Then I decided whether they expressed enough opinion on global directions, whether they were active enough on-list, and whether I agreed with their ideas about where Gentoo should go. Based on that, here's my underdogs:

jer (HPPA arch team)
leio (wxWidgets, GNOME maintainer)
ulm (emacs maintainer)
dev-zero (cpp, postgresql, samba, python maintainer)

Other than them, I strongly endorse our QA lead, Halcy0n (also on GCC porting, toolchain, and C++ teams). I'm not listing anyone who's been on the council before, because that isn't as interesting. There are other candidates who I think have the technical qualifications--I'm not voting for some of them because I think having a strong community that follows and enforces its own Code of Conduct is not just important but vital for Gentoo to move down the path of greatness.

Sabayon 3.5: meglio di Gentoo?

markostyle — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:51:37 +0000

La distribuzione allo zabaione più amata dagli stranieri (ma anche dagli italiani) compie un altro, grosso passo in avanti: nella giornata di ieri è stata infatti rilasciata la versione 3.5 (nome in codice Ibex Poacher), con un carico di novità di rilievo.

Scorrendo le note di rilascio spiccano, oltre al solito elenco di pacchetti aggiornati, la presenza del nuovo package manager Entropy, tempi di boot ridotti (circa 30 secondi), supporto hardware estremamente solido (almeno sulla carta) e molte rifiniture all’installer ed al sistema in generale.

Oltre all’annuncio ufficiale consiglio di dare uno sguardo ai tour visivi ufficiali ed all’elenco di tracker BitTorrent.

Che la derivata di Gentoo sia pronta a superare la sua progenitrice?

X.Org 7.4 prereleases ready to test in Gentoo

Donnie Berkholz — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:30:53 +0000

Last night, Dave Airlie released libdrm 2.3.1, which set the stage for all the pieces of the X.Org 7.4 prereleases to actually work (with a couple mesa patches). If you'd like to test 7.4, here's how. This assumes you're already running an ~arch (testing) system--if you aren't, you might want to hold off on testing hard-masked packages. This may not work with binary drivers--particularly ati-drivers. It looks like nvidia-drivers has preliminary support for xorg-server 1.5.

echo " # xorg-server-1.5 prerelease =x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.99* =media-libs/mesa-7.1* x11-proto/dri2proto =x11-libs/libdrm-2.3.1* " >> /etc/portage/package.unmask emerge -va xorg-server emerge -va1 $(qlist -I x11-drivers)

I've still got 16 more packages to bump before everything's up to date, but the main parts are in place.

Kurzschluss: audacious fliegt raus

DoppelHertz — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:07:22 +0000

Jetzt stinkt's mir endgültig. audacious ist scheinbar nicht in der Lage, meine abgespielten Titel zuverlässig an last.fm zu melden...

Jetzt stinkt's mir endgültig. audacious ist scheinbar nicht in der Lage, meine abgespielten Titel zuverlässig an last.fm zu melden.

Immer wieder Verzögerungen von mehreren Tagen oder sogar Verlust der Titel. Wenn ich die (natürlich korrekten) Login-Daten mal wieder neu eingebe, kommt manchmal die Meldung, dass Benutzername und Passwort nicht stimmen. Was nicht sein kann, weil ich mich mit eben diesen Daten noch eine Minute vorher auf der Website anmelden konnte.

Jetzt habe ich mir also einen Ersatz gesucht. Gefunden habe ich Sonata als Frontend für mpd, mal sehen wie ich damit klarkomme.

Natürlich enthalten ist in Sonata die audioscrobbler-Unterstützung, das war ja das Hauptkriterium. Ebenfalls vorhanden ist eine Musikbibliothek. Das hatte audacious nicht, dafür habe ich mir eine eigene in php programmiert, Tag-basiert. Mal sehen, wie ich das jetzt umsetzen kann. Ich will ungern alles neu in mehrere Playlists einsortieren müssen. Ebenfalls besser: weniger CPU-Last, auch wenn das wohl kaum ins Gewicht fällt. Außerdem gefällt mir der Name des Players.

Zusatz: weil natürlich nur gescrobblet wird, wenn Sonata läuft, hab ich gleich noch scmpc installiert. Dieses Programm kann ebenfalls als Dämon laufen und die gespielten Titel an last.fm weiterleiten. Die Dokumentation ist etwas dürftig, aber immerhin ist ein init-Script dabei. So geht mir jetzt kein Titel mehr durch die Lappen.

Firefox 3 - störender Desktopwechsel

DoppelHertz — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:28:21 +0000

Ich hab vor kurzem auch auf Firefox 3 aktualisiert. Die (zur Zeit noch) nötigen Einträge in der package.keywords erwähne ich hier der Vollständigkeit halber.

=www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0*
=net-libs/xulrunner-1.9-r2
=dev-libs/nspr-4.7.1
=dev-libs/nss-3.12

Es gibt eine Sache, die mich wirklich stört: jeder Link, den ich von außerhalb des Browsers (zB in pidgin oder Thunderbird) anklicke, bringt Firefox dazu, sich den Fokus zu schnappen. Und dadurch wird der Desktop gewechselt.

Soll heißen, ich kann nicht in Thunderbird zehn Forenlinks nacheinander anklicken, weil Firefox sich den Fokus holt und dazu den Desktop wechselt. Ich muss nach jedem Klick kurz warten, zurückwechseln und kann dann erst den nächsten Link anklicken.

Die Lösung habe ich gerade gefunden:

http://ubuntu.blog.de/2008/02/25/firefox_3_deutsch~3777889#c6426623

Man muss in der about:config den Wert von browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground auf true setzen, Standard ist false. Das scheint nicht überall zu funktionieren, aber mit Xfce4 und Compiz Fusion funktioniert das bei mir wunderbar.

Head-first GNU/Linux: Here Goes Nothing; Here Goes Gentoo

fredmv — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:05:43 +0000

So I've heard a lot of hype about Gentoo Linux lately. I'm expecting, however, that it isn't mere hype. Having only experience with distributions such as Mandrake (now Mindriva), Red Hat, SuSE, and Ubuntu, all of which boast an exceedingly easy GUI setup application, Gentoo assumes nothing and sticks you right in the command line* the entire way through. Since Gentoo is all about choice, as they say, it should be expected that nothing is assumed of you: you must compile the source for the kernel, and every other aspect of the system. Likewise, something called USE flags are used as a means to optimize operating system performance based on your hardware--now there's something that certainly sets Gentoo apart from other distros.

Now, what really attracted me to Gentoo in the first place was their package management system, called Portage. Evidently it's written entirely in Python, which lends credence to the true power of the language. Getting an updated list of all of the Portage/Ebuild trees is simple as:

# emerge --sync # emerge --update world

Now that's just beautiful. Admittedly, there's still much reading to be done on my part before I delve into this install. Luckily, Gentoo's community appears to be quite active, and not to mention, the documentation is excellent (Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook). To me, this is the next step of truly understanding how GNU/Linux works "behind the scenes."

Code as artwork

Donnie Berkholz — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 01:05:02 +0000

Many people think of code as artwork in some way or another and consider good code something of elegance and beauty. While working today, I came across another example of that in a visual representation of a project I'm working on.

This image shows the call graph of the file I'm editing, which is one component of a much larger project. I made it with Python's hotshot profiler and José Fonseca's Gprof2dot. Brighter colors mean more time is spent in those functions or their children, although it's hard to see at this size. Or does it show some sort of futuristic gun? Your call.

The above callgraph shows every single function, but here's a profile generated with the same tools that shows only functions that use a certain percentage of time. You can actually see the colors:

Network Bridging

DoppelHertz — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 08:24:55 +0000

Es gibt Leute, die bauen sich eine zweite Netzwerkkarte in den Rechner. Oder haben von Anfang an schon eine drin. Erstere haben oft einen guten Grund für diese Aktion, vielleicht funktioniert die Onboard-Karte nicht richtig. Manchmal ist es auch einfach Neugier.

Egal, ich hab mir eine zweite eingebaut, obwohl die erste ganz gut funktioniert. Ich will nämlich das Notebook nicht per WLAN ins Netzwerk hängen, dafür ist der Empfang bei mir viel zu schlecht. Wieso auch WLAN verwenden, wenn ein Kabel vorhanden ist?

Also, gehen wir's an. Laut der Anleitung muss ein Kernel-Modul her, also mal schnell

make menuconfig

und das entsprechende Teil aktivieren. Dann

make

und

make modules_install

Soweit alles klar. Für's Bridgen braucht der Rechner noch ein Stück Software, also

emerge bridge-utils

Testweise mal

brctl addbr br0

Geht nicht: "add bridge failed: Package not installed". Ok, hab was vergessen, alles klar.

modprobe bridge

Geht auch nicht: FATAL ...

Was soll das denn jetzt? Extra als Modul kompiliert und jetzt muss ich trotzdem mit dem neu gebackenen Kernel booten? Na gut, ich versuch das später mal, sollte mich im Moment mit was anderem beschäftigen... außerdem hab ich vor zwei Tagen erst neu gebootet. Das erinnert mich an meinen alten Rechner, der kannte noch kein Hibernate.

... später ...

Also, weiter im Text. Nachdem der Kernel installiert und gebootet ist, klappt das tadellos. Wer (wie ich) nicht warten kann und vorher schon an der config rumpfuscht, wird erstmal ohne funktionierende Internetverbindung begrüßt. Wenn man das schnell bereinigt und nochmal in die Anleitung reinschaut, klappt auch alles.

Der Teil für die manuelle Erstellung der Brücke ist zum Testen geeignet, für eine dauerhafte Lösung sollte aber die config angepasst werden, siehe Abschnitt Init Scripts. /etc/conf.d/net muss entsprechend eingestellt werden und das Init Script für br0 muss angelegt werden. Sobald das im Runlevel eingetragen ist steht noch ein Neustart an, soll ja alles sauber und gut getestet laufen.

Wenn nach dem Neustart dann das Notebook eingesteckt wird und von der Fritzbox per DHCP eine IP-Adresse bekommt, dann ist die Freude groß: endlich ohne WLAN!

Was folgt...

DoppelHertz — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 23:06:09 +0000

Diverse Tests und Kommentare zu Webdesign...

Was hier sicher folgt, sind verschiedene Tests, konkret zuerst einmal XInputHotplug mit xorg 7.3.

Das hatte ich zwar vor kurzem schon getestet, aber da wusste ich noch nichts von HAL-Regeln, ich werde also nochmal umsteigen müssen um das weiter zu testen.

Aktuell läuft bei mir xorg 7.2, da die 7.3 oft (aber nicht immer) direkt nach dem Fortsetzen aus Hibernate abgeschmiert ist. Stabilität ist eben doch was schönes.

Ach ja, und das Thema Webdesign... Es gibt einfach zu viele Webseiten da draußen, die nur eingeschränkt benutzbar sind. Aber da muss ich gleich mal nen kompletten Artikel drüber schreiben.

Follow-Up: Attack on Exherbo.org machine

Alexander Færøy — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 21:28:49 +0000

Some of you might have read my previous blog post about the attack on Exherbo's quote database that I wrote about yesterday. As promised I am going to write a follow up post about how this was handled and what the result of the cooperation with Gentoo's infrastructure team was.

First of all I would like to thank Gentoo's infrastructure team for acting quickly and very professionally. They reacted immediately after I posted the bug and asked for the information they needed (log files) to compare with their own auditing results.

I would especially like to thank robbat2, KingTaco, Ramereth, solar and fox2mike who worked on the issue, reviewed log files and discussed how they were going to handle this incident.

I would like to clarify that Exherbo harbours no ill will towards any of the companies (GNi, Bytemark and OSUOSL). They are providing much needed hardware and infrastructure for many open source projects but have no role beyond as a sponsor.

No company is able to prevent their users from carrying out malicious actions from their network.

I also promised to give you an update based on the information that we received after the blog post and the bug was created:

Alex Howells (Astinus) has been removed from all Gentoo infrastructure and as you can read on bug #229895, Gentoo's infrastructure team has informed all the developers via the gentoo-core mailing list about what happened.
The developers received the following message (taken from the bug):

As reported on bug #229895, on 27 Jun 2008 at 19:04 UTC, there was unwarranted traffic sent to http://quotes.exherbo.org/ and some of the traffic involved originated from various Gentoo Linux infrastructure machines. The Gentoo infrastructure team conducted an audit based on logs from the machines as well as those provided by Exherbo's infrastructure team. Based on results of our audit and the user's admission via email, we have concluded that the said actions were taken by one of our developers named astinus.

We have taken appropriate action and have removed the developer in question from Gentoo Linux infrastructure. We sincerely apologize to the administrator of quotes.exherbo.org for the involvement of Gentoo infrastructure machines.
Alex Howells also decided to "remove" his LinkedIn profile so the link from my former blog post is not working anymore.
Since Gentoo's infrastructure team handled this so well I see no reason to contact their abuse contact from the respective networks where the machines are located.
I would also like to point out that Astinus was not kicked out of Gentoo. He left on his own after the bug was filed. Astinus and I talked on IRC and while we still disagree about whether it was an attack or a prank we agreed that this is now a closed chapter and Astinus apologized to me and I accepted.

Once again I would like to thank the Gentoo infrastructure team on behalf of the Exherbo development team for their quick response and their very professional way of handling this issue.

Alex.

Samba, tarantella e quaqquaraqquà.

telperion — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:49:26 +0000

e non c'è stato verso. (Risolto vedi al fondo).
Mah, sarò io che son cretino.

Vediamo Debian Sid

E Gentoo?

Che dire?
Che su * non funziona mai un * ???
Mah!

Aggiornamento.
La differenza (trovata) è che firestarter ha regole di base diverse su Ubuntu.

La configurazione schede di rete - firewall - samba - dhcp3 è la stessa su Sid e Ubuntu e molto simile su Gentoo (Sid e Gentoo funzionano al primo colpo senza problemi).

Su Sid e Gentoo, la rete interna non è filtrata, mentre nella versione di Ubuntu bisogna aprire le porte samba anche per la LAN, (strano la condivisione internet, la macchina sambaserver fà anche da gateway e dhcp server, funziona perfettamente, se era bloccata almeno mi veniva il sospetto) oppure come ho fatto io creare una regola per tutte le porte nella sottorete 192.168.0.0/24 (onde evitare rogne future) e poi funziona.

Mood change, I'm happy today

Fernando J. Pereda — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:18:50 +0000

I'm quite happy today. Not because I had lots of fun at yesterday's party, for which I'm completely dead after having danced salsa for more than 3 hours. I'm really happy because the Gentoo Infrastructure Team investigated what the Exherbo team reported (see details in my latest post).

This, incidentally, means that nobody can act like a sheriff with complete impunity. I won't comment on the outcome of it, not because I dislike it, but because I think it wouldn't be fair after all. If someone is interested, they can read the bug themselves.

Update: Alexander wrote a followup post about the whole thing: Follow-Up: Attack on Exherbo.org machine. I can't do anything else than joining him in his thanks to the Gentoo Infrastructure Team.

— ferdy

PS: Some people have shown disagreement with the way I write stuff (not with what I write about). It seems I'm overly negative and bad publicity for Gentoo. If you feel that way, I apologise. My intention is to give information that I honestly think is relevant about both Gentoo and myself. I'll try to be less negative in future, even though I'll still post about what I think is relevant and/or important.

Jumping In

digdoug — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 07:57:13 +0000

Oops. So much for being all patient and waiting until summer vacation. I played with the Freesbie LiveCD last night and my computer didn't blow up. I was only able to get X running with the vesa driver and I didn't even try to get my wireless card working, but I spent over an hour playing with the system internals and frankly, it wasn't that scary. Then something happened which made me feel like advancing my schedule for trying out FreeBSD. And it was through no fault of Gentoo's.

When I went to boot from the Freesbie LiveCD, I forgot to choose CD as a temporary startup device and linux started to boot. Well I didn't want to wait for it to load, login, and then restart again, so I quickly popped the power button. It was just as the system was starting and only one partition had been mounted. But lo and behold, after I was through playing with FreeBSD, I rebooted into linux to find all my jfs partition tables scrambled. Normally, not a big deal for me. Just log in as my normal user, su into root, and run a simple little bash loop on all the partitions using jfs:

vault ~ # for i in /dev/sda8 /dev/sda9 /dev/sda10 /dev/sda11; do fsck.jfs $i; done

There was only one problem this time. I had been playing with the Z shell for the last few days and had just switched my normal user and root over to use it as default instead of bash. Well! Turns out zsh needs a certain .so file that is kept in the /usr partition. Not very smart, if you ask me. I feel like the shell, of all things, should be as self contained as possible. Anyway, needless to say, my new default shell barfed on me after it couldn't find the files it needed, and I was stranded. Yeah yeah, I could have maybe used Freesbie and done a chroot, but... what a pain. Finally my girlfriend came home and I had her sign in under her account name, which I had not switched the shell on. Then su - and did my little magic. But still! What a royal pain that was.

So here I am. I just backed up all my stuff, and wiped the hard drive clean ;-)

I'm going to be trying ZFS as my file system following this tutorial. More news and HOWTOs later.

Shame

Fernando J. Pereda — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 14:57:35 +0000

I can't find a different word to describe this situation. I'm usually very proud of being part of Gentoo, even if I don't agree with every single thing Gentoo does (hey, unlike others, I'm able to live with people disagreeing). But what happened yesterday is really really sad and shameful.

The explanation is long but, fortunately, Alexander wrote a nice blag post explaining what happened:

Attack on Exherbo.org Machine

Do read it. It is important to know the kind of people you work with, and the kind of people you trust certain resources to. I hope Gentoo does something about this. It is of such a bad taste that I don't want to get started... You can follow the process here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/229895 . I really do hope Gentoo does something.
