[gentoo-dev] minor problems with _rc6

[gentoo-dev] minor problems with _rc6

[Collins Richey]

Excellent distro.  Here are a few minor problems.

1) Is there any way to avoid having messages from initialization bleed
through to the console after boot?  When I boot, the first login
prompt is overlaid by "eth0: Setting half duplex ..." which is
apparently a late message from starting eth0.  Some distros have this
problem; some don't.

2) After login and password (run level 3), I always get the following
two messages.  Is this a new feature or a minor bug?  The user logs in
normally.

	pam_group [n] : not opened
	PAM_pwdb [n] : (login) session opened for user uuuuu by LOGIN(uid=0)

3) As I reported on _rc5, package xfce as installed has a dependancy
for sox.  xfce by default issues the play command (part of sox) to
play sounds.

4) The lines in /etc/devfsd.conf for sound and snd should have
permissions 666; otherwise, no normal user mode program (like xfce)
can play sounds.

5) I can't find any way to get the aliases in /etc/profile to be
recognized when starting an xterm window under xfce.  I've tried
adding a ~/.bashrc that does source /etc/profile.  I've added --login
to both the startxfce and xfterm scripts.  Nothing.  If I enter ls, no
colorization.  If I manually source /etc/profile, then ls works with
colorization.  What am I missing?

TIA

I can answer one of the questions :)

.bashrc is read when you su without -; otherwise, you need a .bash_profile.

But why /etc/profile isn't being read is weird.. it should.

Hope that helps,
jano

Not even with a .bash_profile does it work

Just the same problem, you need to run your favorite syslog daemon. Because
no daemon is running all messages normally captured by it are displayed on
/dev/console

Yes, and why didn't the bootstrap or emerge system install a script to
start a syslog daemon?  There are no instructions for doing this
manually.  How do I proceed?

don't know why. There is not inetd installed either. Just install a syslog
daemon...

I installed syslogd-ng (or syslog-ng?) and made a link from
/etc/init.d/syslogd-ng to /etc/runlevel/boot/syslogd-ng. Thats it...

hi collins,

the problem right now is that daniel and a bunch of other people are moving
to the
depenendy based install process. this is why a lot of packages like syslog
currently don't work out of the box .. so you should manually install a
syslogd.
it could be that you need to adjust the init script to work with the new
boot system.

Are you sure that --login is the correct flag to xterm for a login 
shell?  I always use '-ls'
