Problem with receiving mailing list messages
by Markus Heinz 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Hello, I have a problem in receiving some of the mailing list messages. Some are accepted by the mail server I use, others are not and thus bounced. If some messages have been bounced, mail delivery is disabled for me until I manually reenable it. I have asked the administrator of the mail server I use why some messages are bounced and others are not. I got this explanation: There is an anti-spam appliance in front of the mail server which does forward and reverse DNS lookups and compares the result. $ host 213.132.101.140 140.101.132.213.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer www.crux.nu. 140.101.132.213.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer crux.nu. 140.101.132.213.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mail.crux.nu. $ host www.crux.nu www.crux.nu is an alias for crux.nu. crux.nu has address 213.132.101.140 crux.nu mail is handled by 20 mx-gtw4.dnsnoc.net. crux.nu mail is handled by 10 mx-gtw1.dnsnoc.net. crux.nu mail is handled by 10 mx-gtw2.dnsnoc.net. crux.nu mail is handled by 20 mx-gtw3.dnsnoc.net. $ host crux.nu crux.nu has address 213.132.101.140 crux.nu mail is handled by 10 mx-gtw1.dnsnoc.net. crux.nu mail is handled by 10 mx-gtw2.dnsnoc.net. crux.nu mail is handled by 20 mx-gtw3.dnsnoc.net. crux.nu mail is handled by 20 mx-gtw4.dnsnoc.net. $ host mail.crux.nu Host mail.crux.nu not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) As solution he has given two alternate options: 1. Remove the reverse mapping to mail.crux.nu 2. Add a forward mapping for mail.crux.nu The reason why the comparison of the forward mapping and reverse mapping fails is and thus some mails are bounced is the inconsistency for the host mail.crux.nu. Is it possible to apply one of the two options so that I will receive all Crux mailing listing mails? I am tired of searching the mailing list archive for messages I have missed. Thanks, Markus Heinz

Frefox 3 and Thunderbird 2 refuse to cooperate
by Tom Rindborg 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Hi, After I upgraded to Firefox 3 I am having trouoble getting Firefox to invoke Thunderbird for mailto links, and Thunderbird to invoke Firefox for links in general. Googling reveals that installing gconf + deps maybe solves one of the problems: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/firefox-3.0-email-link… (haven't tried it yet), but the Thunderbird problem still eludes me. When I click on a link in Thunderbird I get "Couldn't load XPCOM." logged in the terminal which indicates there might be something xulrunner related, but I am not sure. Using CRUX 2.4, blackbox, as few ports as possible, would rather stay away from gnome if possible... ;-) Any hints? -- Hälsningar/Best regards, Tom ________________________________________________________________________ Tom Rindborg Phone: +46-8-599 984 40 Stockholm, Sweden MailTo:Tom.Rindborg@fatburen.org "If you have to hate, hate gently."

dbus footprint mismatch
by Glenn Margewich 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

I am trying to install firefox 3.0, and it apparently depends upon dbus (among other packages.) I receive a footprint mismatch reading as follows: ============> ERROR: Footprint mismatch found: MISSING -rwsr-x--- root/messagebus usr/lib/dbus/dbus-daemon-launch-helper NEW -rwsr-x--- root/root usr/lib/dbus/dbus-daemon-launch-helper I understand the concept of the footprint mismatch, however I have not been able to find an explanation of exactly what the above 2 lines mean. MISSING is what? NEW is what? also what is the 2nd field root/messagebus and root/root...that is where the difference resides. Is that owner/group? Also, how do I continue with this install? Thanks

pkgmk-resume
by Bartek Palmowski 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

Hi I've written simpe script that allows you to resume build from existing work directory, I think it might be useful for applying quick fixes on sources, or cleaning junk files from already built package (remove junk form PKG dir , comment out lines in Pkgfile responsible for installing, and then invoke pkgmk-resume to gzip PKG dir again) Here is wiki page: http://crux.nu/Wiki/PkgmkResume .

Wiki renamed
by Johannes Winkelmann 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

Hi there, I while ago, we introduced a public wiki section, commonly refered to as "Public Wiki". This term was coined because the regular website is driven by a wiki engine too. Unfortunately, this is somewhat counter intuitive, especially since most of us think of a wiki as a user editable place anyway. Because of that, we've renamed the "Public" section on our website to "Wiki". All the existing pages still exist of course. We've also changed the Stylesheet slightly (although that will probably see some more changes) to make it clear whether one is in the wiki section, or on the regular website. To start browsing the wiki pages, go here: http://crux.nu/Wiki/HomePage I hope this will help to both further populate the wiki, and to make it easier for new users to find the information published there. If you have comments or suggestions, please let us know! Also, if you find links pointing to "Public" pages, feel free to fix them yourself, or speak up here. Thanks for reading, Regards Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch

pkgmk gives md5sum error
by Glenn Margewich 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

I am very new at Crux, but familiar with Linux. I have a newly installed Crux system and am trying to install some new packages. While running pkgmk -d -i, I receive md5sum errors frequently. In particular I am trying to install fakeroot. The error reads MD5Sum mismatch found MISSING <the md5sum results> fakeroot_1.9.5.tar.gz NEW <the md5sum results> fakeroot_1.9.5.tar.gz Error Building ..... I doubt I am receiving the data incorrectly, as many packages install fine. How should I go about fixing this? thanks
