AFAIK as long as gcc doesn't support the pentium-m specifically you should set 
-march=pentium3 -mcpu=pentium4

I don't know exactly why tomcat is rejecting you JAVA_HOME, but you'll
probably want your JAVA_HOME to reference a JDK, rather than a JRE.
Tomcat needs the java compiler for compiling JSPs and possibly other
dynamic files (Cocoon XSPs for example).

[gentoo-user] limiting the number of virtual consoles in user mode linux

2003-07-07 Thread Anupam Kapoor
hi all,

is there a way to limit the number of virtual consoles that are launched
when i start a uml instance ? 

i have tried commenting out the relevant lines from /etc/inittab. but
that does not seem to work. what happens is that i still see 8 consoles
(vc0-vc7) but only the 1st one has the actual 'login' prompt !

i have also tried passing the con=tty:/dev/pts/XXX param, but that does
not seem to help either. 

i have looked in the scripts in /sbin but could not find any 'obvious'
candidates.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

thank you

Yes, it's a stupid typo :-). Read it this way: an external program for

viceversa with maximum ease.

Anyway I'm glad it worked.

I have a Sony Vaio, which has a Pentium III-M, and I've been using
"-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" from the beginning with great success.
Yes, I was previously using a coppermine-based celeron laptop, and had

The tricky part is that the pentium-m is not the same as a pentium 3-m,

Linux support seems rather good, actually, but all the info I can find

Ok try openbox, with bbpager, bbload, bbconf, bbappconf, and idesk. 
Idesk is what will give you desktop icons(and should of worked with
waimea actually).  It's masked but I unmasked it and had no problem.(my
guess is it's still in testing stage).  Also if you have a multimedia
keyboard unmask lineak and emerge that.  It works great and my keyboard
is all mapped out making use of net keys and multi media... (the
multimedia button launches mplayer on mine, the other keys tho control
xmms, and my net keys control various apps I use tho could of controlled
a browser)  While I don't have other special keymaps beyond that
happening bbconf does offer keymapping.  BBappconf will do some of the
other things you require of apps below as will bblaunch(which can open
things on specified desktops via .xinitrc and can also specify if
something is sticky to desktops).  Using the mouse in openbox you can
nav much as you did on waimea.  You also can use windowmaker dock
apps.(I have several going some of which launch programs again when
clicked... also I'm the maker of a few dockapp ebuilds that are now in
protage ).  Oh and with openbox you can hide the toolbar which is
what I do and I have the silt in the center instead.  Fluxbox is good
and I'd use it but it doesn't get arid of that toolbar tho it will hide
it.(it tabs/groups apps).  Waimea was cool but I found it's navigation
disorienting... I just wish openbox had the tabs of flux and the second
slit that waimea offers then it would be near perfect.(as well none of
them are totally perfect but it would be what I'd like hehehe)...
Anyways I hope this helps.  Openbox is small and fast and related to
waimea, fluxbox, and blackbox.  Another one that is simple and good is
hackedbox which I was trying to make a ebuild for but still have to
learn something about using "commonbox" eclass.

Next to openbox xfce4 rocks... only fault I have with it is I can't see
how to dock windowmaker dockapps.  If you use more than one windowmanger
and your trying to see what you like best try selectwm as it will lauch
x and let you graphically select from a list what you want to run.

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xfce4

it's in a similar style to the CDE, but with the sleekness of GUI of gnome2.  
It's also nice, fast, spiffy... and to boot, you can do

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xfwm4-themes

and get some nice looking window decorations.

I'm unsure about the keyboard navigation thing, but I'm assuming that it's

[gentoo-user] window manager selection

2003-07-07 Thread Richard Kilgore
Hey all,

I'm hoping someone can help me choose a Window Manager I don't
hate.  I've been through TWM, VTWM, FVWM, CTWM, Enlightenment,
WindowMaker, Sawfish, and recently Waimea.  I have some difficult
requirements that I have been unable to meet to my satisfaction.

The two most important are:

1. not but-ugly, like TWM, VTWM, CTWM, and FVWM
   I care more about functionality, but these are simply
   depressing to look at.
2. keyboard, keyboard, keyboard, keyboard.
   in my Utopia, _nothing_ should be possible with the
   mouse or (god forbid) a menu, that is not possible
   with a configurable shortcut key-binding

Of lesser importance is some actual beauty.  waimea was nice with
its translucency, but unfortunately the thing does not even have
Icons!

Sawfish is pretty nice, but I'm so sick of LISP-configurable SW I
think I'm going to puke.  Trying to get Sawfish to do anything it
is fully capable of doing is a major endeavor for me, because I
just don't seem to be able to think the way LISP programmers do.
Also, the menus in Sawfish suck.  It uses this external GTK
application that takes like 2 seconds to start and render the
first menu when you open it up for the first time.

And finally, I like to do some things with windows (from the
keyboard) that not all window manager authors seem to think is
interesting, like:

1. move a window to a pre-specified position on the screen
2. enlarge a window by X pixels in width or height
3. make a window a specified width by height, or one or the
   other
4. move a window to another desktop (but stay in the one
   you're in).
5. cycle between windows (not with a menu or pop-up window)
6. don't cycle between some of the windows (e.g., gkrellm).
7. for some X applications, put them on a pre-specified
desktop when they start (i.e., xterms on 1, ide on 2,
browsers on 4, etc.).
8. de-iconify a window (usually this involves popping up
a menu and selecting which one you want (using the
keyboard -- and not the damn arrow keys -- sawfish
could do this - or some LISP I wrote, I can't remember).

Does anyone know of a window manager that can come close?  Does
anyone know of one that they are just impressed with the keyboard
shortcut configurability?

And for this last one, I'm not talking about some small set of
events that the author identified as worthy of keyboard
accessibility (a la WindowMaker, Enlightenment, Blackbox, ).  I'm talking about something like twm had, where
_everything_ can be done with the keyboard.

I read it as being a typo on his part where he meant to say mbox not maildir. 
Creating the mbox directory and moving everything into it worked for

From my personal experience, the answer is yes to the first question and
quite safe to the second. I have messed with this laptop's partitions a
couple of times now and had no *unrecoverable* problem so far.

The procedure itself is quite safe *IF*: a) you don't make any mistake;
b) the software you use doesn't make any mistake.

Before you start, make sure you know exactly what you're doing. There
are 4 tools for editing the partition table (that I know of): parted,
fdisk, sfdisk and cfdisk. All have small differences that may cause
things to fail if you mix tools. Read the documentation throughly and
make sure you have backups of your data *AND* a printout of your
partition table.

To be on the safe side, get printouts of the partition table with at
least fdisk and parted as I have had an issue where a partition created
with fdisk and afterwards deleted and recreated with parted ended up a
few sectors aside.

Note: when you delete the extended partition you also delete all
partitions it contains. In your case this means you will need to delete
/hdc6 too, so backup *ALL* your data. It should all be OK, but from my
experience things tend to go wrong when you *don't* have backups :p

Good Luck :)

Have you tried putting an echo in the tomcat script right after

Can't really tell you if this would be possible, but you could look at

[gentoo-user] Resize an extended partition...

2003-07-07 Thread Budd, Tracy
Here is what my hdc looks like.

hdc1/boot
hdc2/
hdc3swap
hdc5
hdc6/home

My goal is to split up / into a number of smaller partitions. I would like
to backup hdc2, delete hdc2 and hdc3, then resize hdc5 (extending the start
sector downward), then add back in new partitions as needed. I need to get
some of the new partitions into the extended partition as there can be only
four primary partitions. I would like to leave /home alone (no pun intended)
as it is large and unwieldy. 

My main question is can I enlarge an extended partition without disturbing a
logical partition(s) within? How (un)safe would that be?

TIA,

They address similar needs.  I'd go for ssh.  It's more secure
alternative, and has more features.  Ssh is slower due to the
encryption, but I haven't found that to be a problem.

Emerge openssh, and make sure sshd runs on the server.

You can manually change the throttling with something like:

echo 5 > /proc/acpi/x/throttle

It works fine on my Asus L3800S (P4).  If I want to get a good battery
life, I dim the display, and set throttle to 5 or 6 (out of a range of
0..7, where 0=fast).  I haven't measured the effect, but I think it
extends battery life by 1/3 at least.

The P4 in my Asus also does not have speedstep (according to the
kernel, when I enabled speedstep in the kernel config).

These set colors for use in gui mode (i.e. gvim).  If you're using (text mode) vim 
from Konsole or another xterm equivalent, you'll want to 
do something like the highlight command below.
hi Normal ctermfg=LightGray ctermbg=Black cterm=NONE

The way to produce specific colors can vary depending on your terminal.  If you're 
using konsole-16color, for example, bright foreground 
colors and bright background colors can be specified as BrightBlue for example.  On 
some terminals bright foreground colors have to be 
specified using cterm=bold and bright backgrounds are not available.  In a couple 
terminals, bright backgrounds can be achieved by using 
the blink attribute (cygwin and putty for example).  If anyone is interested, I've 
hacked together a terminfo addendum to make this 
simpler.

Do a :h hi for more complete docs.  You can place your custom colors in a file 
~/.vim/colors/whatever.vim.  Start that file with:
let g:colors_name="whatever"
hi clear

And fill the rest with your highlighting commands.  Then you can put "color whatever" 
in your .vimrc, or type :color whatever in vim to load 
your color file.

If you want to see the same colors in your xterm as you do on the console (which I 
think is nice), here are the hex equivalents to 
configure your xterm with.  These are the colors that date to prehistoric times:
0: Black #00
1: DarkRed #AA
2: DarkGreen #00AA00
3: Brown #AA5500
4: DarkBlue #AA
5: DarkMagenta #AA00AA
6: DarkCyan #00
7: LightGray #AA
8: DarkGray #55
9: LightRed #FF
10: LightGreen #55FF55
11: Yellow #55
12: LightBlue #FF

You can override the default colors in your .vimrc file. You'd have to
dig through the docs or the default files, but here are some overrides
I've used for years that should give you a place to start:

  " Set nice colors
  highlight Normal guibg=wheat
highlight Visual gui=reverse guifg=NONE guibg=wheat
  highlight Cursor guibg=red guifg=NONE
  highlight NonText guibg=wheat
  highlight Constant guifg=DarkSlateBlue
  highlight Search guifg=red gui=bold guibg=NONE
  highlight Comment guifg=grey30
  highlight PreProc guifg=brown
  highlight Special guifg=sienna gui=bold
  highlight PreProc guifg=brown
  highlight Statement guifg=sienna
  highlight type guifg=#227b10 gui=bold
  highlight cIdentifier gui=bold guifg=DarkSlateBlue

My normal background is wheat, so you'll obviously have to adjust the
colors, but at least this give you the syntax. I'm sure there are other
"types" (the word after highlight) but these where the main ones that
bothered me.

Well, I do not know how lilo works exactly, but afaik it remembers where your 
kernel-image resides physically.  When you mount your /dev/hda1 to /boot, 
copy bzImage to it and call /sbin/lilo, lilo looks in lilo.conf, finds the 
line "image = /boot/bzImage" and remembers the position of it on your 
harddisk. That's why you have to call /sbin/lilo every time you installed a 
new kernel, even if the new one has the same name.

My setup looks like follows:
/dev/hda1   /boot
/dev/hda6   /

lilo.conf is:
image  = /boot/vmlinuz
root   = /dev/hda6
vga= 791
label  = Gentoo

It works perfectly.

Michael

Here's why my fstab has :

/dev/discs/disc0/part8  / reiserfs noatime 0 0

%ls -l /dev/root
lr-xr-xr-x1 root root   33 2003-07-07 07:13 /dev/root -> 
ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part8

I'm not using devfsd and haven't been since I installed Gentoo.

[gentoo-user] vim colours

2003-07-07 Thread daniel
i'm rather fond of vim, but there's one thing that just kills me, and that's 
the colour scheme used when i'm running konsole in kde.  since i use the 
semi-transparent background, the dark blue used in comments is virtually 
unreadable and i'd like very much to be able to change the scheme used by vim 
to determine this colour...  but try as i may, i can't find where this is 
coming from.  can someone help me out here?

Not really, I want my gentoo-user e-mail to goto my Gentoo-user account.

speedstep has nothing to do with throttling. Speedstep changes the 
cpu clock rate between two frequencies, throttling stops the cpu 
for some time by stopping the clock signal at all.
So you may have to look at /proc/cpuinfo, I don't have a speedstep 
capable processor, so I cannot check this.

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't boot after install L 02

2003-07-07 Thread Robin Rowe
Michael,

Changing LILO root to /dev/hda3 made no difference. Other ideas?

How is lilo.conf supposed to work with the recommended partition layout? I
haven't created a setup like this before where the boot image is on an
optionally mounted separate partition. What does LILO do with /boot/bzImage?
How does it know that refers to /dev/hda1? Since /boot/bzImage is a
temporary mount/chroot during installation, and not really on /boot of
/dev/hda3, why should 'image = /boot/bzImage' work?

Cheers,

Robin

While you are at fixing /dev/fstab you should consider using labels (if using 
ext[23]). That way you don't get problems if you are using another hd before 
your gentoo-hd sometime...

[gentoo-user] Sendmail and Return-Path Header

2003-07-07 Thread Joe Eversole
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hoping someone can shed some light on this because I haven't had any 
luck with Google on a solution. I am running sendmail as my MTA on my 
box named just.recompiled.org. It is the primary mx for the domain 
recompiled.org. I use Mutt 1.5.4i and it presents my "from" address 
correctly as [EMAIL PROTECTED]

my problem comes in with the Return-Path header at the top. I don't care 
if people know my box's name (as if it wasn't splattered all over the 
headers already), however, Gentoo's mail server software is trying to 
subscribe me with the return-path address, not the From field. I have 
tried hacking the sendmail.cf to make the Return-Path header go away 
completely but haven't had any luck. So, I'm turning here for 
assistance. Any one have a way to eliminate the Return-Path header?

Thanks! -- Joe

my best guess is that when you updated your baselayout, you overwrote your 
/etc/fstab file and didn't modify it to look the way you had before.  since 
/dev/root is just a symlink to your root partition in your /dev directory, 
you can point whatever you like to the actual partition (on my box, it's the 
usual /dev/hda3).

so i'd suggest that to fix it, you could edit /etc/fstab and replace /dev/root 
with whatever you like, just remember that whatever you change it too has to 
be pointing to the right device and partition.

 This thing happens anytime/anywhere. When I ping something in
my LAN I can see it too. ;((

Sorry for that, but in the meanwhile I solved the problem, it was an error
in the ebuild, just saw someone else reported it into bugzilla, so now I
added an error description, with a solution, to bug: 23939

How do you connect to the internet? I'm having the same thing when I
run 'netselect'/mirrorselect. After a short period I cannot ping a
host on the "outside" - just on the LAN. This happens only when I
connect over a CISCO router - not when over ISDN on the Gentoo box.

[gentoo-user] CPU throttling

2003-07-07 Thread tobias . edler
Hi !  
Secod try, i tried to post this here 24 hours ago  ... 
 
I have a Acer Aspire Laptop and try to save enery ;-)   
I read about autospeedstep, and installed it. It compiled well, and runs
well, and /var/log/speedstep indicates that it changes betrwwn powersave
and full power, but i don't quite trust it :

cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/info  
processor id:0  
acpi id: 1  
bus mastering control:   yes
power management:yes
throttling control:  no 
performance management:  no 
limit interface: no 

Hmm, so what can I do to change this ?  
The website says I need an ACPI-backport-patch, but when i tried to 
apply it to my gentoo-sources kernel, it seemd to be already installed. 

Thank you all

some clarification to the later posts in this thread:
The bashrc is only read when bash is called as "bash" and not as "sh",
since if its called as "sh" it tries to be sh compatible, thus limits
itself to not do such things.


All in all, call it as "bash" and it should work.

2003-07-07 Thread Louis-Benoit JOURDAIN
Hi,

does someone know how to add a submenu in the "applications" principal 
menu in gnome2?
Right now, there is:
accessories
desktop preferences
games
graphics
internet
other
programming
sound & video
etc.

I would like to rename some of these sub menus and add some more. How 
can I do that?

Thanks,

I think this should be more or less "exactly" what you are after, please
comment on extra additions for it, its been around for long enough now
to get a "stable" stamp soon.

This one should be:

Dont forget to rerun lilo after changing this (also mount your boot-partition)

Did you add something like hdc=ide-scsi to your kernel boot options?

You need that to map the IDE CDRW to an emulated scsi device.
