Re: [gentoo-user] perfomance 2.6.3 <= 2.4
I tested the responsiveness of the GUI by starting the same DIVX rip on dvdrip under both kernels. In 2.4, I can still launch Mozilla and k3b, although it takes them a few seconds longer. (about 17-25 seconds to fully load) On 2.6, nothing on my desktop is visually responding to me. If I click a program, I see nothing happening for about 30-45 seconds, for k3b even longer. It takes up to a minute for the mozilla window to appear. I can access already opened programs though.

Re: [gentoo-user] perfomance 2.6.3 <= 2.4 - A-FRIGGIN-Men!
I basicly agree with you, I didn't expect 2.6 to skyrocket at first, but lately, its speed has been bragged about on this and other lists, so it was a disappointment to see about everything slightly slower, but desktop response down a lot... I was just wondering if I missed a step in the process that explains the difference in my experience to that of other users.

[gentoo-user] perfomance 2.6.3 <= 2.4
I'm testing using kernel 2.6.3 (mm-sources rc2). On my system, everything is a little slower under 2.6 then it used to be in 2.4. measurable performance is only slightly worse (like dvdrip getting 2 fps less, 20 fps less for glxgears), but desktop responsiveness is noticably down under high loads. I tried with acpi on and off (no differnce) and I have preemtive enabled. So far, 2.6 is disappointing, specially since I heard it would be great performance-wise...

[gentoo-user] SpamAssasin headers in Evolution
I'm currently using the standard Evolution-spamassasin setup (checking return codes).

Re: [gentoo-user] Virus protection for Evolution users
This will only check incoming messages, and I have not tested this setup personally. Download and install clamav and set up automatic signature updating. Create a folder 'virus' or something in evolution, now set up a filter like is adviced for spamassasin at http://www.atlantawebhost.com/articles/evolution_spamassassin.php Replace the spamassasin command with clamscan --mbox. Now if a virus is found, Evolution will move the message to the virus folder... you can run clamscan again on the mbox file in the evolution subdirectory to identify the virus.

[gentoo-user] kernel 2.4.22 (r4 and r5): nfs problems
I submitted a bugreport for a problem I've been having with 2.4.22 gentoo-sources kernels. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38399 These kernels give NFS timeouts on my NFS mounted homedirs, but mainly under heavy operations. 2.4.20 kernels work fine... Does anyone else experience this or have any information about a probable cause?

[gentoo-user] Sim 0.9.2 emerge fails
I'm trying to uprgrade to sim 0.9.2, but emerge fails on automake, saying I need automake 1.7.9 (I have 1.7.8) Yet the changelog says: "14 Jan 2004; Daniel Ahlberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sim-0.9.1.ebuild: Make it work regardless of automake version installed. Also unmask." Any ideas --- config.status: executing depfiles commands cd . && \ /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/sim-0.9.2/work/sim-0.9.2/admin/missing --run automake-1.7 --foreign ./Makefile configure.in:39: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.7.8, configure.in:39: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.in:39: comes from Automake 1.7.9. You should recreate configure.in:39: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again. WARNING: `automake-1.7' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your system. You might have modified some files without having the proper tools for further handling them. Check the `README' file, it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing this package.

[gentoo-user] Kernel 2.4.22 problems
I am experiencing blocking problems with gentoo-sources 2.4.22. There must be something wrong in my networking stack because I get nfs server not responding constantly in my logs, and access errors on NFS files. 2.4.20-r8 and other stations (Debian and Mandrake) do not have this problem (so it is not server related). The catch is that 2.4.20-r8 has a vulnerability open and in -r9, USB is completely dead on my setup. 2.4.22-r4 seemed fine, but the network interruptions are a pain (my /home is nfs mounted). There are no log messages apart from those, and anything else seems OK -- __ Guy Van Sanden http://unixmafia.port5.com Registered Linux user #249404 - September 1997 __ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The DHCP server does not respond to a renewal request, and sends a NAK later on, but offering the same address later.

1.5? I'm assuming this is a development version as www.ximian.com reports 1.4.5 as the latest release. You can get 1.4.5 from portage anyway.

[gentoo-user] gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1 and reiser
I treid gentoo-sources 2.4.22-r1 today because of my ongoing problems with 2.4.20-r9, but it is unreasonably slow on reiser internal tree checks. I'm guessing it is about 5-10 times slower then 2.4.20-r8 on that point. I don't have reiserfs stats or debugging enabled. Does anyone else have this problem?

[gentoo-user] X crashing
I have this very weird problem, it first occured during last night, when I was emerging world, and it reoccured during the day. My system was logged into KDE, and I was running emerge -U world in a root-terminal. When I returned in the morning, my monitor was in power-save and wouldn't wake up any more. I logged in form another system without problems, and top showed the process 'X' taking up 80 % CPU, no other processes where taking up CPU-time. I had to reboot to get back in (shutting X didn't help). Later that day, I continued the emerge, and after a while it happened again. I have never encountered this problem before, and I have no idea what is causing it (logs show nothing abnormal). Any ideas how I can find out?

Re: [gentoo-user] LVM and mirroring
The upgrade is something we used to do on solaris boxes, it's about applying patches, or installing software. When we did that, we disconnected one side of the mirror, then did the upgrade/patch/install. If it went fine, we resynced the mirrors as normal, but on failure, we resynced from the disconnected (original) mirror. Both disksuite and veritas VM have this functionality.

Hi I'm wondering if Logical Volume Manager can handle a setup I am considering. I have a system with two 40 GB IDE drives. hda / /boot /tmp /data (includes home) /usr The second disk (hdb) should contain the same partitions, but mirrored. The ultimate goal would be that if either hda or hdb failed, the system would keep running until I could replace a disk. Is any of this possible with LVM? Is it stable? Could the system still boot if one disk failed (e.g. hdb)? Can I disable the mirrors temporary when performing an upgrade? (to get the chance to turn it back). I've seen this stuff done with Veritas, and I'd be cool to have it on a Free Linux box.

Re: [gentoo-user] fstab problem
Just a thought, but if it is just booting, they you may be in trouble. You should have set up the bootmanager in FreeBSD to that partition where FreeBSD is installed. Then you use LILO to point to other = /dev/hdx# label = "FreeBSD" You do not need to be able to mount te partition to boot it.

Re: [gentoo-user] fstab problem
What version of FreeBSD are you running? I'm asking because starting with 5.0, UFS2 is included, and you will need support for that in Linux if you used it. The UFS(1) module will not mount UFS2 slices. Maybe this link can help: http://www1.coe.neu.edu/~haydin/linux/faq/minihowto/Linux+FreeBSD-5.html If it still fails, try disktype to see if the partition is recognized: http://freshmeat.net/projects/disktype/?topic_id=142%2C147%2C253 Good luck!

I do have APM power off enabled in the kernel config The system is gentoo-2.4.20-r8 The case is Aopen H600B The main difference as I can see is that both Mandrake and Knoppix use a 2.4.21 kernel.
