[gentoo-user] Bayesian spam filtering

Re: [gentoo-user] Bayesian spam filtering
I've been using bogofilter (http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/) with procmail with great success. A few false negatives now and then but I haven't seen a false positive yet. The only thing I don't like about the setup is that I have to go to a commandline to mark the spam that slipped through bogofilter as spam. I wish that I could just throw something in a cron job that every couple hours it would re-compute its wordlists based on the contents of my spam folders and my other folders. Does anyone have a script that does this? I hear that spamprobe (http://spamprobe.sourceforge.net/) (not used it yet) has this capability built-in. Maybe I'll try switching to see how it works.

IBM's JVMs for Linux have always outperformed the Sun ones on Linux (and Blackdown, I think). They have provide both a 1.3.x and 1.4.x JVM, and both perform very well. Sun made drastic improvements to performance between 1.3.x and 1.4.x, which makes it popular. I think the blackdown 1.4.x JVM also performs well, and it is the only one with a plugin that you'll get to work in your browsers in Gentoo (there is some glibc version issue with all the others, last I checked). If you want to write code that runs everywhere right now, there are still lots of people stuck in 1.3.x land, so you might want to shy away from 1.4.x for a little longer. Some of the new library functionality in 1.4.x is available via libraries from jakarta (http://jakarta.apache.org), such as log4j, Regex, ORO (perl-like regex). - richard -- Richard Kilgore [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] artsshell permissions (was Re: [gentoo-user] Laptop + Gentoo)
So, I got it to work with a little hack. Turns out that if I use OSS sound compiled into the kernel, I can suspend and resume, but artsd doesn't handle it very well. If I run artsshell suspend to suspend artsd either before the suspend or after the resume, sound in kde resumes fine. I put this into the /etc/apm/events.d directory. Now, the hackish part is... artsshell only connects to arts if you run it as the user at the console. It does not work as root, and apmd runs the suspend/resume scripts as root. Does anybody know how to disable chekcking in artsd? As it is, my script tries to figure out who's logged in at the console, performs an su, then runs artsshell. I'm probably doing all sorts of naughty things security-wise. Wes On Wed, 4 Jun 2003, Jason Nielsen wrote: Hmmm... isn't this kind of tough if you use KDE/Gnome (they like to keep control of sound with arts/esd)? If I can get sound compiled into the kernel, will that help? Wes Good point, I don't use either so that slipped my mind... but to answer your question sound will unload properly if you compile the sound into the kernel. I'm not sure why that is but probably has something to do with the kernel suspending and resuming properly.. no running module gets hung! I found OSS to suck ass though for my intel8x0 so I switched back to alsa... you can't compile alsa into the kernel unless you are using 2.5.* and I had trouble with pcmcia-cs with these kernels.. could be fixed now but I haven't tried as everything is working fine. All you really have to do is find out how to stop esd/arts and restart it on resume. Basically in /etc/apm/suspend.d you would have a script that stops all apps running sound and shuts down esd/arts then runs a '/etc/init.d/alsasound stop' and in /etc/app/resume.d you would '/etc/init.d/alsasound start' and restart esd/arts and all sound apps you like to have running and all should work nice.

RE: [gentoo-user] cannot open root device
I've installed gentoo successfully several times before, but this time I'm getting the following when I try to boot the first time: VFS: Cannot open root device hda3 or 03:03 It's a total guess as I've seen something similar to this on Redhat, although not with ext2 partitions. Is the 03:03 part a clue? Is that saying something like it's looking for /dev/hdd? I might have expected it to say 00:03. In my case it was getting confused about my specific EIDE controller on an Asus A7V266 MB. To get around it I had to lie about what drive it was to get it to boot and told it I was booting off of hdd. This only happened when we built our own kernel from kernel.org. Redhat's sources managed to get it right somehow. If it is something like this, the clue will be a bit higher up in the console while booting. Look at what drives it says it found. Does it see hda or something else? I could be completely wrong about this. Best of luck, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Good ways to wine
Hi. I have recently setup the stock version of wine and a small win98se partition. In my fstab I made a little entry for users to mount the win98 partition so they have read write permissions. I noticed that Wine will once and a while move directories around giving them garbled names. Thus making win98 pretty unstable until the garbled folders files are moved back to their proper place.With the way I have things setup at the moment. Many win32 applications have worked very well through Wine. But I fear it will in the end tear up the actual Windows partition. To make a long story short I would just like some good tips for setting up Wine with an existing win98se partition if anyone has them. All i really want to achieve is MS office. Games are no concern. -- Aaron -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] Help with Promise RAID Gentoo
I would like to ask one thing tho.
You have part1 as /boot and part2 as root.
But i have hda1 as /boot and part1 as root.
Where do you install grub?
is it hda's mbr?
or disc0's mbr?
if it is disc0 then how to you choose that disc?
did you choose in your BIOS to boot that disc first?
Re-check your kernel config, and change ur grub.conf
to your root partion: /dev/ataraid/disc0/part3 not part1
acording to your fstab
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part1/boot ext2
noauto,noatime
1 1
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part3/ ext3 noatime

[gentoo-user] Root user password problems
Hi all, I have Gentoo Linux installed in my PC and today I did as usually su - root to change to root. I entered the password for root, and emerged dhcp. After that I exited root and since then I was enable to enter as root. It's just not accepting my password, which is extremely odd.

RE: [gentoo-user] cannot open root device
Rats! This reminded me that I had the same problem at some point because of multiple controllers. I changed /dev/hda? to /dev/hde? and things went just fine. I think that it was loading the controller card before the on-board controller. Could this be a possibility? -rex I don't think it could be in my case, I don't have any extra controllers. I do have USB and 1394, but no devices plugged in. I wonder if they could cause a problem? Too bad. In my case there is an extra on-board EIDE controller. I have the chipset one and the ATA-100 Promise controller. My issue was caused (in some way I never determined) by this option about booting from chipsets vs. other controllers first, just like Rex. The Redhat kernel correctly handled my hardware while the kernel.org kernel did not. Well, I'm tapped out, but I'll keep thinking. Good luck. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I don't have a problem with my NICs, but with sendmails init script which says that it can't find info on its dependencies.

Re: [gentoo-user] cannot open root device
IIRC the /proc/config exist on the livecd Thanks for all the suggestions, I finally got it to work. I took your advice and did: cat /proc/config /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash source /etc/profile cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig make dep make clean bzImage modules modules_install cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot It seems like the config you booted off with is likely to be a better one than the default, so this is probably a safe step for any install. -- Chris Bare [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Riva TNT GL
Alexander, Try emerge nvidia-glx but first make sure that you have enabled MTTR support in your kernel, rebuilt it and then rebooted. There is a very good explanation of how to get the accelerated drivers for nvidia working in the Desktio Configuration Guide which is on the gentoo documentation home page. Enjoy, I managed to get QuakeIII running on my dual pentium II 550, with a Riva TNT and it is pretty impresssive under OpenGL, better than OpenGl in windoze and that;s the truth!

[gentoo-user] OT: mbox vs maildir
With all the discussion of mail handling recently, it's perked my interest in trying to revive the mail system on my test machine, which I've borked pretty royally. One thing I've never had a good handle on is mbox vs maildir. I sort-of know the differences between the two, but have no idea about the advantages/disadvantages of either of them. So.
