The argument seems to go that on a DP machine one processor will handle the GUI/OS/drivers and the second processor will handle the audio application. However, no one (that I know of anyway) has really measured this quantitatively and shown it to be true. (It might be to subjective anyway...) Any thoughts? My concern has generally been that every SMP machine I've looked at (admittedly not that many) seems to be a generation behind in chipsets and memory technology which goes against the goal. If I agree to pay more money for a second processor I'd at least like the rest of the machine to be equivalent technology. I've never used a Linux SMP machine, so I have no idea how one tells the system to run a certain app on a certain processor, but I can see it should be possible I suppose.

[gentoo-user] Excessive caching hardware or software ?
Hi all, A few months ago I talked with some people on this list about excessive caching on laptop computers. We could not find a solution. Howevber, the title of the thread was cryptic, so I hope that with the new title more people will react. We noticed that that copying a file or making extensive access to the hard drive ate up all the memory. For instance, when I copy a 200Mo file from one partition to another (same physical HD), the file copies fine but 200Mo of RAM get eaten up in the process. The question is : Is this gentoo related ? Is this kernel related ? Is this hardware related ? I may add that this seems to be vendor independent since both Dell and Toshiba laptops seem to have the same problem.

That's exactly my question which hasn't been answered yet. Why all of a sudden do I need tons of Gnome junk for the same apps that have been happily running without it?? Is it a Gnome issue in that Gnome has decided to include the world for every little thing or is it a Gentoo setup? Nothing on the server use flag wise has changed since the last upgrade, so this is a bit perturbing, and annoying. Any reason for these changes? Or is there any sort of review process that these go through to see if people need the extra deps?

Re: [gentoo-user] Bunch of Gnome junk to be added in world upgrade!???
Ahh, I see. Thank you. It sounds like the Gnome people are the culprit. What a hassle to have to pull in tons of stuff for one app. Usually such changes come in because an upstream package moves from one library-version to another, in the recent Grip case where people kept whining they moved the dependencies from gnome-libs-1.4 to libgnome, ORBit2 instead of ORBit .. The reason people kept seein more packages was that gnome-libs has been torn apart into at least 4 different packages to further separate the code. //Spider -- Brett I.

Re: [gentoo-user] Excessive caching hardware or software ?
On Monday 14 July 2003 8:03 am, Jonathan C. wrote: Hi all, A few months ago I talked with some people on this list about excessive caching on laptop computers. We could not find a solution. Howevber, the title of the thread was cryptic, so I hope that with the new title more people will react. We noticed that that copying a file or making extensive access to the hard drive ate up all the memory. For instance, when I copy a 200Mo file from one partition to another (same physical HD), the file copies fine but 200Mo of RAM get eaten up in the process. The question is : Is this gentoo related ? Is this kernel related ? Is this hardware related ? I may add that this seems to be vendor independent since both Dell and Toshiba laptops seem to have the same problem. Well, it's used, and it's available. Unused ram is wasted ram. Since Linux can't possibly know when you'll use a disk read more than once, it uses all available spare ram to cache it. If you need that ram for something else, it becomes instantly available (within reason). This is a Linux design issue and is perfectly normal operation. Here's a ram snapshot from my server: 11:07am up 41 days, 20:42, 1 user, load average: 0.15, 0.24, 0.32 Mem: 1023108K av, 1008392K used, 14716K free, 0K shrd, 71596K buff Swap: 610384K av, 23352K used, 587032K free 778280K cached As you can see, Linux maintains a small amount of free ram (around 15 meg here), and all other ram is used. In this case, 778M is just used as disk cache, which means that over the long run, my server needs about 1/4th of the ram that I have given it. However, this large disk cache means that many disk reads come from ram instead of the hard drives. On a server, this is a great thing.

ACPI also gives me access to throttling and performance stepping. And atleast performance stepping is crucial to squeeze a few extra hours out of that battery. Throttling doesn't do that much though, just makes the machine slower. ;) E.g. I can get lower power consumtion by stepping down my 2Ghz processor to 1.2Ghz, than using the throttle. I can still watch movies with mplayer with the stepdown, but not with throttling.

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel depends
No, this is a bad idea... xconfig assumes you want to run X in addition to tcl/tk.. I cant tell you how many people use gentoo with no X environment (myself included on several production machines) but there are a lot, and to make the kernel depend on having that installed is excessive. ... menuconfig quite happily, as I'm sure most people do:) Yes, I always use menuconfig to configure my kernels. But I was writing an howto on how to build a honeypot with UML for people with little knowledge about kernel configuration/compilation. For such people xconfig would be a better alternative to menuconfig. So I tried to replicate each step in the howto and make xconfig ... uh! wish not found. I think that if you already have X installed then kernel sources should depend on TCL/TK... I don't know if this is possible... here we are talking about conditional dependencies. think about a newbie in its X favorite environment trying to configure the kernel... it tries menu xconfig (as stated in many kernel howtos) and the not-so-user-friendly kernel build scripts complain about not finding wish. The user gets confused (which ebuild wish is in? The doesn't suggest much) and eventually gives up rebuilding the kernel... that's no good advertisement for Gentoo :-) As you said, just my two cents...

I'm only talking here about upgrades that may break the application concerned which is not very often. I agree that the admin is responsible, I carefully read every list of potential upgrades before I commit, but I think it would be a good safety measure to not allow things to upgrade where potential breakages might occur. That seems to me to be allowing portage to make life a little easier for the admin. Nobody just has that in their cron to run every night. (At least I HOPE nobody does) Quite. Shouldn't it be the admin's responsibility to make sure he/she knows what packages are being upgraded BEFORE the upgrade? Why must portage save them from themselves? I'm not suggesting this. What I'm saying is that it doesn't make sense to unnecessary upgrades which may break something the default action. BTW, there is a simple and well publicized way to avoid this problem. (I've done it on 9 of my 10 gentoo servers) simply populate package.mask with the proper info. Maybe I do the wrong thing but I've been using /etc/make.profile/packages wherein it says: # So, what happens to /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask? It's still around, # and still useful.

Apache 2 is not a different product. It's a major version change to Apache. (Same with mysql and PHP) It applies to different applications to different extents.

They are clearly therefore different products since they are not covered by the same license. I think it all boils down to whether you think that checking through lists of packages is reliable enough and how much portage should help the admin. I think most professional admins will know about many upgrades before they arrive enough to know whether they want them or not and to have prepared accordingly. But since we have many duplicated ebuilds - (e.g. gaim and gaim-cvs, mozilla-firebird, mozilla-firebird-cvs) to make life convenient for those who want to stay on the cutting edge, could a little reorganisation not make it more convenient for those of us who don't? -- Richard Watson http://www.opencolo.com/ High Value Colocation -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] ReiserFS said to repaired but isn't :-(
Currently the file system check during startup (/etc/init.d/checkfs +checkroot) _always_ runs reiserfsck against the root (/) file system. The check finds an error in the (free/used space) bitmap, which should be fixable. But the program says: --fix-fixable ignored so nothing gets fixed. Nonetheless checkfs/checkroot says * File system repaired:- I had tried reiserfsck earlier from the command line and didn't succed either (see below, items 3ff). *** How it all began... 1) While I ran an emerge -uD system | tee logfile after an rsync, the speaker started to beep continuously. I panicked (CPU overheated?) and cut the power. 2) On the next boot, reiserfsck considered the filesystem as clean! But the last 30 lines of logfile were wrong data! 3) Now I wanted to run the file system check manually. I forced the system to single-user mode by telinit 1 (maybe not the correct way), re-mounted / read-only and ran reiserfsck --check /dev/hda8 This reported 2 fixable errors in the bitmap. Note: --check would refuse to run on the writeable reiserfs. 4) Next command: reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/hda8 --fix-fixable rejected for a read-only reiserfs (of course;-) Re-mounted /dev/hda8 r/w, re-issued above command... Cannot run check on a file system with write permission. Termination! FYI: reiserfsck is quite current (3.6.8), reiserfs is v3.6.25 (vanilla-kernel 2.4.19), installed 10 months ago.

[gentoo-user] [OT?] Weird CVSUMASK problem
I'm trying to setup a CVS server with ssh access and I'm facing a strange problem. I want to have several projects in my repository and control the access to those projects using group permissions (as explained in CVS documentation). I want to deny access to any user that doesn't belong to the group that owns the files of a certain project inside the repository, so I want to give no permissions for others. The problem comes when trying to do this. I put CVSUMASK=007 in a file in /etc/env.d/, run env-update, and add a directory to the repository. The new directory is created with rwxrwsr-x permissions (I guess taken from umask and the permissions from parent directory, that is rwxrws---) ignoring the CVSUMASK variable. If I put the definition of the variable in .bashrc with export CVSUMASK=007, then the directory is created with the right permissions (rwxrws---). In the tow cases, if I login (through ssh) with the user I'm creating the directory, and execute echo $CVSUMASK, I obtain the same result: 007. I'm really puzzled about this, and would really appreciate if somebody could explain me why this is happening, as I don't want to have to include the export CVSUMASK=007 in every .bashrc of every user with CVS access.

To me, the issue is that emerge apache should emerge the version of apache that gentoo recommends, not an old compatibility version. But since we have many duplicated ebuilds - (e.g. gaim and gaim-cvs, mozilla-firebird, mozilla-firebird-cvs) to make life convenient for those who want to stay on the cutting edge, could a little reorganisation not make it more convenient for those of us who don't? It looks to me that Gentoo is trying to understand the exact roles of and relationships between USE flags, package versions, and arch KEYWORDS. It's going to take time, but hopefully when it's all figured out we'll have reached some nice intuitive definition which makes it very clear how to get the safety you're asking for. Bear with the devs while this gets worked out. Cheers, Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Error compiling and using GTK+2, but awfullyfixed.
By the way, I have already re-emerged the dependencies of gtk+ (emerge -uo gtk+) and the dependencies of libpng, and the other image handling related libraries and their dependencies.

Re: [gentoo-user] stage3 tarball for a celeron
Hi RVick, Nachricht vom Montag, 14. Juli 2003, 20:29:42: I am lookging for a stage3 taball for my celeron, but am uncertain as to which one to grab. Below is a snippet from dmesg, can anyone tell which tarball I should get with the information below? CPU: Intel Celeron (Mendocino) stepping 00 Have a look at the stages in: ftp://ftp.oregonstate.edu/pub/gentoo/releases/1.4_rc4/x86/x86/stages/ of the last official release 1.4rc4. It doesn't really matter which version you have when you install from stage 1. Since you seem not to like that, you should take the best fitting actual version, which is the generic (i guess its i386 or even i586, but that wouldn't matter) stage3 for you. Since you son't want to recompile, i would strongly vote against taking the older i686-optimized-stage3 from 1.4_rc2 (that was AFAIK the last rc where they build all stages). I would choose a stage1-install.

A celeron is a Pentium with less cache. If it is a p4 celeron, you can use the p4 CFLAGS for gcc. If it is a p3 celeron, you use the p3 flags. Same goes for optimized stages. Hope this helps, Ted Goodridge -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Fredrik Jagenheim [EMAIL PROTECTED] skrev: ACPI also gives me access to throttling and performance stepping. And atleast performance stepping is crucial to squeeze a few extra hours out of that battery. Throttling doesn't do that much though, just makes the machine slower. ;) I have experienced quite some problems with ACPI om my ASUS L8400. I think the root of the problem has with heat to do, it behaves really wierd when the CPU load is high and the CPU becomes hot. The temperature thresholds change repeatedly, all of a sudden lm_sensors say the alloed interval is between 0 and -99, and the temperature is 0, which makes the fan shutdown. Then it might throttle down to cool down, all of a sudden the temperature scale has changed anew and the temperature alarm goes off. Sometimes this starts the fan, sometimes it shuts down. With APM enabled I only notice jerky performance, the whole system appears to freeze every now and then, but it doesn't shut down, the sensor values remain sensible and the fan runs all the time as long as the machine is hot. The drawback is that the clock drags severely during things like huge emerges and such. /Rasmus Wiman http://rasmus.wiman.org http://dagbok.wiman.org I program my home computer Beam myself into the future -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
