It is better to have a robust system (Gentoo) and run the bad one (Windows) on user space (via VMWare) so it can't do much damage. That's how I do it and it works well. I very rarely use VMWare for Windows, mainly for testing on different Linux distros. It runs virtually as fast as native hardware, apart from a slight reduction in disk speed from the virtual disks. VMWare 5 is very nice, and runs much better on amd64 than the 4.x series. I've done this both ways with Workstation 4.5. Using Windows as the host OS is a good choice if you want every single piece of hardware to just work. I never had a problem with speed (only with the clock, as someone else mentioned), except for compiling. The virtual machine memory bandwidth seems to be significantly reduced compared to native, by maybe as much as 50%, which made compiling take quite a bit longer. Maybe this is improved in WS5, although I can't really say, because now I run the right way (TM). One possibility is to setup the system as a dual-boot system, and give yourself the choice of running Gentoo from within VMWare or natively. -Richard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

John D Thank you, John-- that is what I've been doing (which is a change from my original behaviour, which was to compile a separate initrd). Doing so did improve the situation in that using the livecd theme now allows the computer to boot (whereas the initrd using the silent splash would result in a kernel panic and halt). But I still get the message that 'no 8bpp pics are specified in the theme file' (twice) and then the message that the silent or verbose (whichever I've specified) image cannot be found, after which the system continues to boot. The console images are said to be being set (no message that they cannot be found), but (of course) do not appear. OK, more information, maybe... I think I might have found what's not working (but I don't know why its not working). I went back through the various links that explain how to do this, and found the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter from 18 April 2005 ( http://lwn.net/Articles/132803/ ). Now the Tips and Tricks section, titled Bootup with the Gentoo 2005.0 logo says (and I quote): Code Listing 5.3: | |Configure the| bootloader- | | |# nano -w /boot/grub/menu.lst| |First change your kernel-boot-line to something like this (depends on| |your used framebuffer and further kernel-parameters):| |kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.11-r6 root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | splash=silent,theme:livecd-2005.0 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 | ===|You must use more than 8bpp (in this example it is 32, ===| ===|specified by [EMAIL PROTECTED]). This is supported by the fact that neither the 2005.0 or 2005.1 themes specify an 8bpp picture in their config files, and in fact do not even contain 8bpp files, afaics Now, splash_geninitfs does allow you to specify --no8bpp (which didn't work for me either), but from the GWN, that is not necessary anyway: | Code Listing 5.2: | |Creation of an initrd with the | 2005.0-splash-- --- | | |Be sure that /boot is mounted before you call the command| |# splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/splash-livecd-2005.0-1024x768 \| | -r 1024x768 livecd-2005.0 | As you see, --no8bpp is not specified, which you'd think meant that it's not needed (since the author knows that the theme doesn't contain a specification for 8bpp, and this instruction comes before the other one that deals with 8bpp at all). So why, when my grub.conf says kernel /vmlinuz ro quiet root=/dev/hda5 video=vesafb-tng:ywrap,mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED] splash=verbose,fadein,theme:livecd-2005.1 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 clearly specifying more than 8bpp as instructed, is the splash failing to load because no 8bpp picture is specified in the theme file (which if it had to be specified in the theme file, surely it would have been, but it's not, so presumably it doesn't have to be), and therefore fails to find the silent or verbose image? Logically, this must mean that my console is 8bpp??? That's the only reason that it would be looking for the 8bpp picture. Why is my console 8bpp, when the message is being displayed on a 1280x1024 framebuffer meaning that the framebuffer is loaded oh, shit. Shit, shit, shit Sorry. I think I got it. I have vesafb-tng specified in the kernel as so: [EMAIL PROTECTED] but it should be [EMAIL PROTECTED], shouldn't it? Or else the stupid framebuffer defaults to 8bpp or something, doesn't it?

[gentoo-user] CD burning with full filenames

Grant schreef: Hello, does anyone know how to make an ISO and then burn it to a CD with the full filenames preserved? I tried specifying Joliet and Rock Ridge but the output from mkisofs looks like the filenames are being altered. - Grant You only used Joliet (-J)? Maybe you need this option instead (or as well): -joliet-long Allow Joliet filenames to be up to 103 Unicode characters. This breaks the Joliet specification - but appears to work. Use with caution. The number 103 is derived from: the maximum Directory Record Length (254), minus the length of Directory Record (33), minus CD-ROM XA System Use Extension Information (14), divided by the UTF-16 character size (2). You might also want -l Allow full 31 character filenames. Normally the ISO9660 filename will be in an 8.3 format which is compatible with MS-DOS, even though the ISO9660 standard allows filenames of up to 31 characters. If you use this option, the disc may be difficult to use on a MS-DOS system, but this comes in handy on some other systems (such as the Amiga). Use with caution.

Re: [gentoo-user] Lost Labyrinth
Its purebasic , not powerbuilder. And the reason why people use it, is because you can compile your games for windows, linux and mac. I dont think this is going to change. The other version we have is in blitzbasic. Which only exists for windows. So I invested a lot of time to rewrite it for a compiler that exists for Linux.

Maybe it will be of some use to somebody. During some emerges my machine was getting locked up when cpu temperature got above 55 C (AMD Athlon 2GB), but I decided (yeah - decided ;-) that CPU is not the problem - 55 C is pretty low for CPU I think. As a workaround I have limited the RAM amount available (I have 512 MB physical) to 256 MB by kernel parameter mem=256M. No RAM errors were detected by memtest, but limiting available RAM works - no lockups. The 'sensors' utility (part of lm_sensors package) shows that one (out of two) temperature sensor is a bit too hot: it has now (no emerge in progress) 61 C and warning threshold is on 48 C. I assume that it is not CPU that gets too hot but that small, nice north bridge on my mobo. May it be that the solution is to get some bigger heat sink and more powerful fan not only for CPU.

[gentoo-user] Hard crash while doing an emerge
Hi, Do these sorts of things get reported somewhere? First time I can remember this happening. 2.6.12-gentoo-r6. I was doing an emerge --deep --update --newuse world. It was emerging 5 items as I remember. Two were mplayer and mythtv because of a new nvidia USE flag due to a new adapter card. At about 5:30 it seems to have crashed. This is the beginning of what I see in /var/log/messages: Aug 22 17:10:01 godzilla cron[9100]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons /usr/sbin/run-crons ) Aug 22 17:20:01 godzilla cron[20070]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons /usr/sbin/run-crons ) Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 003faa30 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla printing eip: Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla c013eda7 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla *pde = Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla Oops: 0002 [#1] Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla PREEMPT Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla Modules linked in: snd_seq_midi snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_ice1712 snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx snd_ak4xxx_adda snd_cs8427 snd_ac97_codec snd_i2c snd_mpu401_uart snd_hdsp snd_rawmidi snd_seq_device firmware_class snd_pcm snd_timer snd_page_alloc snd_hwdep snd via_agp evdev realtime sbp2 ohci1394 ieee1394 nvidia agpgart Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla CPU:0 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla EIP:0060:[c013eda7]Tainted: P VLI Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla EFLAGS: 00010006 (2.6.12-gentoo-r6) Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla EIP is at __rmqueue+0x47/0xf0 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla eax: c1239bb8 ebx: ecx: c1076278 edx: 003faa30 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla esi: c03fa9e4 edi: ebp: c03faa30 esp: e6377db0 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla Process portageq (pid: 21593, threadinfo=e6376000 task=e26bea20) Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla Stack: 0095 c11b8c60 c1076260 c03faa10 0082 c013eeaa Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla c03fa9e4 c03fa9e4 0246 e6376000 c03faa00 c013f3a5 c03fa9e4 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla 001f c03faa10 c03fa9e4 ddc59334 80d2 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla Call Trace: Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla [c013eeaa] rmqueue_bulk+0x5a/0x80 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla [c013f3a5] buffered_rmqueue+0x1d5/0x1e0 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla [c013f849] __alloc_pages+0x3f9/0x420 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla [c0149c32] do_anonymous_page+0x62/0x150 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla [c0149d83] do_no_page+0x63/0x300 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla [c014a229] handle_mm_fault+0xe9/0x190 Aug 22 17:22:28 godzilla [c0111ffc] do_page_fault+0x18c/0x599 I'll assume that this means it crashed when doing mythtv: godzilla ~ # emerge -pv --deep --update --newuse world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

Re: [gentoo-user] gcc seg faults very often
I faced lockups problems during high mem/cpu/io conditions on another computer. Turned out to be the power source that was inadequate (is that how it is spelled?). Most motherboard simply reboot the system when close to overheating conditions. And they normally beep a lot before that happens. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Issues getting PPTP connection to MS VPN server going with kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6
I've been setting up a connection to my work places MS vpn server using the guide on the forums http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-298267-highlight-.html but have run into the problem that there does not appear to be a kernel patch for mppe support for this kernel version. Does anyone know when/if there will be a patch for this kernel version, or if there is some other way to allow MS vpn connections? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

OK I have asked some questions on the gentoo developer list and the consensus is that the file needs to download cleanly with wget or else there are problems incorporating it into a gentoo ebuild without repackaging the file and/or the gentoo project mirroring it for you. In fact most of the comments were along the lines tell the labyrinth distributors to fix their crap webserver or words to that effect. Frankly there is no reason to have a redirect on a simple file download. Just show you can show the guys who run your web server, this is what happens when you try to download the file using wget, the web server redirects the download and you end up with a funny named file.
