RE: [gentoo-user] grub setup question - Dual boot with System Commander 7
nope. there's partition boot records, then there's the MASTER boot record. the mbr lives on /dev/hda, independant of the partition table. to install on the mbr, you do setup(hdX). to install on a partition, you do setup(hdX,Y). Thanks. That's both helpful and interesting. from my experience, it's best to just put grub on the MBR and have grub chainload any of your other OSes (it does this very well for dos (95/98/ME) and nt (nt4/2k/xp)). what other things are you booting with SC7? Just DOS And Win ME, but I want SC7 as I understand how to use its partition resizing utilities after Os's are installed, and I just don't want to mess up what's already there. Also, I can hide disk partitions from Win ME so it doesn't mess them up. I don't know how to do that with Linux. (And what the heck, most important, I PAID for it!!) ;-) So, I didn't get an answer to my question. If I want grub in a non-MBR setup, would I use grub root (hd0,4) // My boot partition - /dev/hda5 grub setup (hd0,4) // Where I want grub - /dev/hda5 grub quit Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Desktop Crashing..
Hi, We are currently using Red Hat to serve LTSP, X sessions, DNS, and Gateway to the outside world. Roughly every two weeks, Mozilla processes starts rapidly respawning processes until the entire system slows down to a complete freeze. Try killing those processes and it'll have respawned ten more by the time you're finished. When we reboot the server (cold boot), the Ext3 partitions frequently NEED a filesystem check, to prevent untold issues thereafter. Sometimes not even booting. When we used ReiserFS for the last 4 yours on other systems, we had many power outages but never had a problem with the filesystem. Furthermore, it never required any long lasting filesystem check--which I thought was the main point of a journaling filesystems. It's nervous waiting for this thing while customers start walking out the door. After rebooting the server we cannot log into the console machine directly for at least one day--otherwise, it'll freeze up the whole system again. Other grievances with Red Hat are with KDE. It seems virtually all of the nice little things about it have been removed and we cannot properly theme the desktops--only the backgrounds and a few other peddy things. The most important feature to customers has been the little spinning disk that lets them know that an application is loading--particularly Mozilla, as it takes a longest to load. We still use KDE as much as possible because it shares its desktop componants, as where GNOME shares very little of anything. GNOME seems to be more a political alliance, because there is very rarely any relation between any of its applications, technically. The resulting difference in performance and resources is exceptionally significant. We are testing Gentoo and SuSE 8.2 Professional. Gentoo may be our ultimate answer but SuSE was MUCH easier to get up and properly running. Gentoo is impressive in terms of performance and customizability, but takes a long time even to expirement with. Can it be configured to download patches, instead of complete source files? We'll use SuSE until we get a stable Gentoo system up to satisfaction. Another concern is stability--how often will updates break Gentoo? We need security updates quickly, but will those updates break the system? We need to learn how to: (A) Update only security patches (B) Update only specific packages (D) Roll-back updates on specific packages (E) Automate the checking for security updates Knowing how to do all this will most likely mediate the risks sufficiently. If we can get all of this down pat, I might even decide to learn Python. -- Matthew C. Tedder SimpFlex Technologies, Inc. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

This actually sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
For gentoo .iso files this would be an exceptionally good idea,
since we already have servers for those files it would require very little
effort to post an optional iso.torrent which I would happily use and it
would deffinitly lessen the load on the servers.
For big tarballs like openoffice the problem is that OOo would have to put up
a torrent file for us to use since we get the source from them.
But this makes me think... hmm... there has to be some servers out there that
supply torrents.. so what about a possible USE=torrent flag for packages
that could be downloaded by torrent? The torrent flag would NOT affect
the ebuild since the ebuild itself doesnt care how the source is downloaded, the
flag would mostly just be there to warn the user that they need to adjust their
make.conf file to use something like the following to download the file.
FETCHCOMMAND='/usr/bin/btdownloadcurses.py --url ${URI} ${DISTDIR}
Maybe we could even throw some sort of if statement into make.conf to check
the value of the USE flags, and if torrent is found then to use the bittorrnt
fetchcommand automatically, otherwise it will just use the regular fetchcommand.
..meh.. sounds like a bit to much work(pardon the pun)
Im open for others comments though, I think its a neat idea, im just not sure
if it would work.

I think it would need a seed mirror somewhere specifically for serving
torrent files. I think however that trackers and .torrent files on this
server could reference binaries elsewhere, eg there could be a
.torrent/tracker at torrent.gentoo.org referencing a oo.tar.bz2 at
downloads.openoffice.org.
There would be no point in serving anything but the big files (50mb) as
torrents, or anything not commonly used. Things like X or KDE should get a
big boost however. Unfortunatly no open source component projects seems to
be running their own torrents, or it could just be written into the
various ebuild files.

I think it would be better implimented by being able to add an extra
mirror type (eg torrent://torrent.gentoo.org) to the GENTOO_MIRRORS
variable and then adding a new BTFETCH='/usr/bin/btdownloadcurses.py --url
${URI} ${DISTDIR}' or similar to tell it how to do it. This way you could
add the torrent://whatever to the first entry in your mirrors list and it
would check there first for an active torrent, before trying anywhere else.
Something to ask the people who deal with maintaining make.conf and that
whole general area, as they will know what will slot in best and where :o)

Are you using apache as a standalone or VirtualHost server? The default setup should work like a charm without any configuration to the files within /etc/apache/*. What do you have as your computers hostname? Apache will name itself what you've assigned as your hostname, so if you've give your hostname an internal IP name (i.e hostname 192.168.0.148), apache will name itself just that. You should try the following: * rm /etc/hostname * echo jjj.homelinux.com /etc/hostname * hostname jjj.homelinux.com * nano -w /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 jjj.homelinux.com server a localhost 192.168.0.198 server a jjj.homelinux.com The 'server' and 'a' names are optional, but they help out tremendously while doing local browsing, as you can do 'lynx a/~louiscandell/' instead of 'lynx localhost/~louiscandell/' Also, I suggest using Apache's VirtualHost capabilities. Add the following (replacing your information with mine): * nano -w /etc/apache/conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf VirtualHost * ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /home/lcandell/public_html ServerName jjj.homelinux.com ServerAlias www.ossh.com jjj (optional) ErrorLog /usr/local/www/logs/ossh.com-error.log CustomLog /usr/local/www/logs/ossh.com-access.log combined /VirtualHost The above with your information will work as expected, and you can create subdomains and other cool stuff with VirtualHosts enabled. Make sure any path and directory you specify within the above section exists, or else apache will refuse to start. If you decide to use the above solution, go ahead and unhash (remove '#') the line: * nano -w /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf * Include conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf If you do this with the default /etc/apache directory (I hope you made a backup before editing the files :p), then you should be up and running without a problem. I don't have a static IP so I can't put that in my /etc/hosts. I tried playing with the ServerName directive, but that didn't help. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? The apache server needs to be given the name jjj.homelinux.com, it wont know what to do, if you dont tell apache that the above name is meant to be used with the apache server. The above steps should work... they work for me, and I'm on a dynamic IP just like you. The above solution shouldnt take you more than 5 minutes to accomplish. Also, you cant access your server by name within your local environment, so you will have to use 'lynx a' or 'lynx localhost' instead of 'lynx jjj.homelinux.com' Hit us back up if you have any more questions. -- Louis C.

Furthermore, it never required any long lasting filesystem check--which I thought was the main point of a journaling filesystems. It's nervous waiting for this thing while customers start walking out the door. After rebooting the server we cannot log into the console machine directly for at least one day--otherwise, it'll freeze up the whole system again. Other grievances with Red Hat are with KDE. It seems virtually all of the nice little things about it have been removed and we cannot properly theme the desktops--only the backgrounds and a few other peddy things. The most important feature to customers has been the little spinning disk that lets them know that an application is loading--particularly Mozilla, as it takes a longest to load. We still use KDE as much as possible because it shares its desktop componants, as where GNOME shares very little of anything. GNOME seems to be more a political alliance, because there is very rarely any relation between any of its applications, technically. The resulting difference in performance and resources is exceptionally significant. We are testing Gentoo and SuSE 8.2 Professional. Gentoo may be our ultimate answer but SuSE was MUCH easier to get up and properly running. Gentoo is impressive in terms of performance and customizability, but takes a long time even to expirement with. Can it be configured to download patches, instead of complete source files? We'll use SuSE until we get a stable Gentoo system up to satisfaction. Another concern is stability--how often will updates break Gentoo?

[gentoo-user] old drive dying, got a new drive, installation query
ARGGGH! I managed to stuff 2 of my drives (hda, it had windows 98 on it) installing grub, and then the hdc (old sourcemage distro install) drive started complaining that it was going to die soon, so I went out and bought a 60 gb drive for $60 (ya gotta love a rebate!) to replace the drive that's going bad. Since I can still read the win98 drive even if it won't boot,and I haven't used windows in ages, I am just going to swap it to the hdc slot in case I need the data on it and put the new drive in hda and install gentoo on that, then partition the hdb(current gentoo) drive to handle /var and possibly/home. The new drive is a 7200 rpm and the current gentoo drive is a 5400 rpm, both are ata 100's. I can chroot from the working gentoo to install the on the new drive, from what I read in the doc's, so that shouldn't be a problem. I have my grub diskette and a rescue cd ready to go. The question I have is, has anyone else done this and what problems might be possible or any suggestions available? Thanks! -- Take your Senator to lunch this week. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The root file system (/dev/hda1) is formated XFS and when
mounted from the cd the following is seen:
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
hda1 or hda3???
I have included many types of file system support (including
XFS, Reiserfs, NTFS, DOS, etc.) in the kernel build, because
I want to be able to access all disk types with this system.
Since your root is XFS I'd built-in XFS only, the remainder (NTFS, DOS, etc.)
as modules.
If anyone can shed some light on why it is trying to mount
this XFS file system as reiserfs I'd sure appreciate it.
Did you dd'ed /dev/zero your hd as explained in the docs?
Try to disable support for additional FS.

Re: [gentoo-user] Disadvantage to using SCSI and IDE?

Thanks for any information, Tom Wesley Since you're going to put the root partition on the SCSI disk, make sure that you compile the sd and the driver for your SCSI controller directly into the kernel (i.e., not a module). Also, if you're getting one of the fast ones (10K or 15K), they run pretty hot, so it's a good idea to either get a fan for it, or make sure your chassis moves air well in general. - richard -- Richard Kilgore [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If it is a big hassle to build x86-PPC cross compilers on all machines you could just use the fast Athlon machine with the cross-compiler to build a complete system for the PPC (much faster.. not as fast as using distcc but hey better than trying to build Gentoo with a 120Mhz PPC!).

RE: [gentoo-user] Disadvantage to using SCSI and IDE?
Hi all, I've been thinking of upgrading my root partition and moving it from the current IDE to a SCSI disc. I would buy a small-ish SCSI drive for the root and keep my /home on the existing IDE drive. Are there any complications on running both on the same PC? I seem to recall there being some issues in Windows at least? Thanks for any information, Tom Wesley There are no problems that I know of running a mixed SCSI/IDE system. I've had a Seagate SCSI 4gig drive that I've moved from system to system since about 1994 or so. According to my own experience, this is what can cause you a lot of trouble: When you configure grub or lilo you have to indicate your boot device. Ex in grub your ide disk will appear as drive 0, because linux load the ide driver first. So it installs the bootloader on the ide disk. But at boot the scsi bios can override this (bios option) so it will try to boot on the scsi disk which has no bootloader installed - FAIL. If you are lucky you might not even run into the problem, but if on reboot you have a lilo or grub error message, it's most probably what happened. Then swapping ide/scsi in your BIOS boot options could be the solution. Anyway get a boot floppy or cd before attempting anything... Aurelien -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Firebird Plugins
Usually the plugins are in a subdirectory under the browser home directory. For example mozilla/plugins. If they aren't there you have to create the links to the them.
