[gentoo-user] Optimal speed for burning Linux ISO images
Hello all, Is there any particular optimal speed when burning Linux ISO images? - does that particular speed is influenced by the CD-RW drive, burning software, and CD-R media? thanks :) Ronald -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] small installation
Sounds too small for Gentoo. I have successfully installed Gentoo on a 1.2 GB HD, but 80MB... What do you intend to do with the system? Run a gateway, a router, a firewall? There are special distros for these kind of installations. I'm currently setting up a "bering" installation on a hardware-challenged system. It will boot off a std diskette, no HD, 16 MB of RAM. But, it's for a specific usage. So the question really is what is your intention with the system once installed.

I'd say its the lowest number of all of the above. If you have a decent computer then it's the minimum of the CDR media write speed and the CD-RW write speed. Gwen. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You could probably build one from scratch... compile the kernel and any GNU programs that are absolutely necessary for running the system. http://www.linuxrouter.org/ http://www.frazierwall.com http://www.coyotelinux.com/ are linux firewalls and NAT systems in a floppy. http://embedded.adis.on.ca/ is supposed to be built for embedded systems, but their site doesn't seem to work for me. ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/small-linux/ their domain (http://smalllinux.netpedia.net/) was bought out though... and not sure where it moved to or if it even did move.

Load these modules by hand using modprobe, if you receive "Can't locate ..." error, then reconfigure, build and boot new kernel with missing modules, goto 2. 3.

Actually its related to how X deals with visible images, aka pixmaps. An application has to load a pixmap for display in the X server. When it doesn't want it again, it has to release it, since the X server does not track process calls (threading, sharing pixmaps between applications and so on) This then makes for a mess when a sloppy coder doesn't deallocate RAM as he should when having used X pixmap calls.

I appreciate it. One thing that might not apply to many people here today, but I hope will apply to many in the future, is that (like me) many folks are not Linux guru's or IT/sys admin types. I'm just a basic everyday user that is looking for a more stable and better performing experience than the Redhat & SuSE boxes I've built in the past. I still use Windows in my home recording studio because I have to, but most of my day to day stuff is done on Linux now, and has been for about 6-8 months. Mostly the experience has been pretty good. I am attracted to Gentoo because it is a 'managed environment' (my terms) in the sense that it has the portage/emerge system to help me keep things up to date. It's pretty simple to use for a guy like me. Under Redhat I've had a terrible time, not being a sys admin or programmer, building from CVS source myself. Too many library dependencies and things to deal with by hand, and terrible messages I don't understand when it doesn't work. RPMs are a step forward, when you can find them for the right distribution, etc. Keep in mind that folks like me know nothing about the 'right' optimizations to choose on day 1. I just wanted my system to come up, run well, have some apps, and be stable to start with. Gentoo has done that very well. If the system gets faster over time as new revisions of apps come out and get rebuilt with new optimizations, that sounds like a great solution to me.

Re: [gentoo-user] OpenOffice - slower than death
Hi rh! I remember that if I try to start ooffice when my [EMAIL PROTECTED] program is already running with nice 19 using all available cpu, ooffice took about a minute to start giving me an empty window! Switching between open windows would make the window of ooffice appear transparent/empty and it was like it had frozen. However when I am not running [EMAIL PROTECTED] ooffice starts within 10secs and all is running quite fast on my Athlon XP 1700+. And yes I'm using the bin package as I don't have the patience to wait for 12hours+ for a program to emerge just to see that after 10 hours of compiling it stopped with an error(yes this happened to me) :-) So I 'd suggest you checked if a particular program that you run would cause ooffice to act weird.

[gentoo-user] notebook brightness with 2.6
Okay, this is a fairly recent issue, it has not effected me with 2.4.22
ac-sources kernels, nor with some older 2.6-test kernels. I'm almost
sure that this started with the bk5 patch on 2.6-test3 (i previously
used it without the updated bk patches).
The Issue: my notebook, like most, has brightness keys on the keyboard.
TO use them, one must hold the Fn key, and press the brightness keys.
no big deal, it worked, until bk5. Now the system freezes and is
unresponsive to pings the moment i try to change the screen brightness.
When switching to the bk5 update, I had to enable APIC support, and io-
apic support as ACPI is now dependant on them. THis is the only
configuration change in the kernel since the initial 2.6-test3 (which
worked). Is it possible that some acpi update (i doubt apic itself
would be responsible) is causing this? Last time i checked, the
brightness keys did not send a keycode and were acted on in the bios,
but i never checked to see if they sent acpi events.
Does anybody have any ideas what might be causing this? or better yet,
how to resolve?

[gentoo-user] wvdial and username/password
Is there anyone who uses wvdial and doesn't have to write username and
password "by hand"
in /etc/ppp/{pap,chap}-secrets? I've tried everything I could remeber and read from man
pages, but nothing helps. Here is my wvdial.conf:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS2
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATX3 Q0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 M1L0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = 487
Username = xxx
Password = yyy
Dial Command = ATDP
Auto Reconnect = 0
Auto DNS = 1
Idle Seconds = 300
Dial Attemts = 10
Stupid Mode = 1
New PPPD = 1
Compuserve = 0
ISDN = 0
and here is /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial:
noauth
name wvdial
usepeerdns
and /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial-pipe:
noauth
name wvdial
plugin passwordfd.so
defaultroute
replacedefaultroute
I've had a problem like that but with resolv.conf. It wasn't in /etc but in /etc/ppp.
It
crossed my mind that maybe it's the same problem, but I don't know where wvdial stores
username and password. Help please. I know that this can be done (used SuSE and it
worked
there). Thanx a lot

It seems it supports DMA and UDMA and that iti is enabled:
# hdparm -i /dev/hda
[...]
DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5
[...]
and
# hdparm -i /dev/hdb
[...]
DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5
[...]
So, what may be wrong then ? (I didn't enable anything on the HDs yet)

using_dma= 1 (on)
shows that dma is on. What does yours show you?

This is likely to be the case - it certainly was with me. Give the right information the kernel will often activate dma during detection of the drive.

Re: [gentoo-user] dma not enabled
Well, hdparam is used (at least that's what I used) and the man page is a good place to start reading about it. It gave me enough info to see what needed to be done and even be able to ask questions. Yes, it isn't a one step process but a knowledge of the man page is a could place to start. I used hdparam from the command line to figure out info about my drive and turn it on.

And a 27MB/s data rate is quite corect for an IDE Hard Drive. My latest Seagate Barracuda is given at 55MB/s, and my old Baracuda IV 80GB is given at 30MB/s. In fact, i do not think that hdparm can easily reach the theorical IDE bus speed, as the '-T' flag ( the second of the only two bench flags I know ) gives system mem-buffer I/O speed. -- Nicolas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] IDE bus speed
Hello, I don't understand your answer Nicolas. Because My bus is 33MHz I get 27MB/s. I understand that. What I'm asking is if the UDMA(100) means that the HD is capable of 100MB/s and the bus holds it back. Does it mean that with a newer motherboard my HD will work much faster?

Nicolas, If you are reffering to hdb you are wrong because there is no device there. So, If I sum up your answers then my HD is capable of 30MB/s. The UDMA(100) is a sales persons trick. My bus is 33Mhz and it is not holding back my HD. So, If I like to buy a new motherboard and a new HD, what should I buy?

Another issue holding back IDE performance is that the IDE bus is sometimes tied into the PCI bus which is limited to 128mb/sec (give or take). Everything that's on that bus will fight for that limited bandwidth (i.e. USB, sound, NIC cards, whatever) Some of the newer motherboard have the IDE channels on their own bus path. Even though it isnt THAT linux friendly, the new nForce 2 chips use AMD's hypertransport technology to provide the IDE bus with FAR greater bandwidth that the PCI bus can obtain (~800mb/sec). Some benchmarks from my... AMD 2500XP, 2x512 PC3200 in Dual Channel mode, Asus A7N8X Deluxe, http://www.asus.com/products/mb/socketa/a7n8x-d/overview.htm Windows XP :) WD1200JB on IDE channel (the lower read speeds on the 512 and 1024mb where due to me accidently starting Quake3 ) http://underthemain.net/~sweede/bench/bench_1.jpg Dual WD800JBs on SATA, RAID-0 (small file) http://underthemain.net/~sweede/bench/bench3.JPG (large file) http://underthemain.net/~sweede/bench/bench2.JPG The Western Digital drives are amazing. Newer Intel motherboards have build in, native SATA channels (meaning you can boot a dos floppy and see the harddrive). I would look into those and other modern equipment. Research at www.firingsquad.com , they usually have great hardware reviews. Just keep a watch out for linux compat. :) A good site for nForce 2 on linux, http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=29 Don't know of one for the newer intel-based motherboards, sorry. bjorn -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'm the GWN contributor for that section (i.e. I wrote that) and I can vouch for Yugi (the Editor). He lives in Japan, and pushed out this issue of the GWN in a pinch, as he had a flight the same day heading to the US for college. I'm sure it was an honest mistake. The "draft" he sent out missed all kinds of sections. Kurt's actually subbing for the next issue, until Yuji can get reliable internet access again. There is no conspiracy going on :) -brian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
