Re: [gentoo-user] etc-update not showing differences
Hi Petri!
Did you by any chance change anything in /etc/etc-update.conf? There is
a line there
diff_command=diff -uN %file1 %file2
Check if it is commented out (having a # character in front of it).

Re: [gentoo-user] Which ATI Radeon Drivers?
El mi? 20-08-2003 a las 03:29, Patrick Yager escribió: I have purchased the Gentoo cds from their online store for my system. In the printed instructions that came with the cds there are two different drivers listed for my ATI 8500DV video card: ati-drivers and xfree-drm. Which one of these is going to be the best option for me if I want to play a few games (i.e. Quake3 and Neverwinter Nights)? The definitions are as follows: ati-drivers = accelerated ATI Radeon 8500+/FireGL graphics for XFree86, and xfree-drm Accelerated graphics for ATI Radeon up to 9200, Rage 128, Matrox, Voodoo and other cards for XFree86. Are there any other hints you guys can offer to get my Radeon up and running for the games? (i.e. configs, hints, etc.) Thanks! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list I highly recommend the xfree-drm drivers for a few reasons. The most important one is that this drivers are open source. I have used both drivers and there was no difference in performance at all, but with ati-drivers I got a very poor video quality (notice that it was a beta version). Anyway the best way to decide is to install both of them and try some playing. Then decide what performs better. Bye. PD: I have a radeon 9000 running excelent with xfree-drm.

Hi all,
Its a OT but maybe someone knows anyway,
I use spamassassin and have not been able to get bayes filter working
with it, after over 5000 spam messages I think it would be working by
now. So I have deceided to use bogofilter and spamassassin combo, can
I use the spam that spam assassin has collected to train bogofilter,
ie. will the spamassassin header badly effect they way its trained.
Here's a procmail recipe using bogofilter and spamassassin_
(For incoming mail )
-8-8-
:0fw: bogofilter.lock
| bogofilter -u -e -p
# if bogofilter failed, return the mail to the queue, the MTA will
# retry to deliver it later
# 75 is the value for EX_TEMPFAIL in /usr/include/sysexits.h
:0e
{ EXITCODE=75 HOST }
:0fw: spamassassin.lock
* 256000
| spamc
###
# Kill spam first
:0:
* ^X-Bogosity: Yes, tests=bogofilter
.SPAM.bogo/
## Spamassassin points
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
.SPAM.assassin/
--88---
And here is a cleaning filter, it will remove all SpamAssassin and
Bogofilter header tags from the incoming email.
88--8---
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/clean.log
VERBOSE=yes
COMSAT=no
MAILDIR=$HOME/.maildir
:0fw: spamcleanbogo.lock
| grep -v X-Bogosity
:0fw: spamcleanassassin.lock
| spamassassin --remove-markup
:0:
.SPAM.CLEAN/
--88-8--
after this, I generally use a set of commands/Scripts as this:
sa-learn --dir --spam ~/.maildir/.SPAM.CLEAN
This script will parse all the cleaned spam and tell bogofilter.. its
spam darnit
find ~/.maildir/.SPAM.CLEAN/{cur,new}/ -type f |while
read FILE; do bogofilter $FILE || bogofilter -s $FILE;
done
Extra step, should always be executed a first time before sorting spam,
since it will tell bogofilter what is good:
find ~/.maildir/{cur,new}/ -type f |while read HAM;
do bogofilter $HAM bogofilter -n $HAM;
done
And this is good idea to make sure nothing goes bad in your
incoming mailbox(make sure you don't have any spam in your inbox first,
or you'll throw it off using this, since this piece will tell bogofilter
to unlearn it if its spam, and learn it as ham) :
find ~/.maildir/{cur,new}/ -type f |while read HAM;
do bogofilter $HAM bogofilter -Snv $HAM;

The Athlon XP supports MMX and MMX2 as well as 3DNow and 3DNow2, so that in itself isn't a problem, (assuming this is indeed an Athlon XP... you only state Athlon in your description, but I don't think there is an Athlon 2700+).

Unless someone can state for certain that the Athlon XP is backward compatible with the pentium3, (unlikely), you will need to recompile your entire system. In theory, emerge -eD world, should do this. However this poses a problem in itself, because if you compile it on the old motherboard, with -march=athlon-xp, it will break when a newly compiled utility tries to use athlon-xp instructions on the P3. It may be possible to untar the i386 stage1 tarball over the top of your existing system, which would mean your base system, (bare bones boot, glibc and compiler), will run on the new motherboard.

Unless someone can state for certain that the Athlon XP is backward compatible with the pentium3, (unlikely), you will need to recompile your entire system. In theory, emerge -eD world, should do this. However this poses a problem in itself, because if you compile it on the old motherboard, with -march=athlon-xp, it will break when a newly compiled utility tries to use athlon-xp instructions on the P3. It may be possible to untar the i386 stage1 tarball over the top of your existing system, which would mean your base system, (bare bones boot, glibc and compiler), will run on the new motherboard. You should then be able to 'emerge -eD world'. Don't take this for gospel :) How about recompiling everything with -mcpu=athlon-xp on the P3, will work on both then. Could change to -march=athlon-xp at a later date, if so wanted.

I don't think this is an NFS lock problem. From your description, you are running a GNOME 2.x-based desktop. That uses gconfd, a program to manage configuration information. Gconfd does *not* exit when you log out. It waits like five minutes in case you log in again. So, it is holding its own lockfile open. If you log out and then log back in at the text console and issue a gconftool-2 --shutdown you will be able to log in at another machine.

Basically, -march doesn't add -mmx when using gcc 3.2. However, that's because gcc 3.2 doesn't really support the extensions. If you do add it, gcc adds -mno-mmx without telling you. Adding it with gcc 3.3 works, but I believe -march will add it where appropriate, anyway. Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
