Re: [gentoo-user] qpkg -q - am I interpreting it correctly?

Maybe the ebuild incorrectly installed it, but the program doesn't depend on it? Well, if qpkg doesn't show the dependencies properly it is always possible to look at the ebuild itself. ;-) Part of the DEPEND variable in the ebuild is =kdelibs-3.0 kdemultimedia =qt-3.0 Also if you look at rosegarten's homepage you will see in the requirements section: Rosegarden-4 uses the KDE 3 libraries, so you will need KDE 3.x with Qt3. You don't actually need to use the KDE desktop, you just need the library packages installed on your system. Hope that helps. Cheers, Renat -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] apache still wants to be emerged when apache2 is installed.
Hey people, I have a working install of apache2, I was previously running apache1, after the upgrade I unmerged apache1 but whenever I do an emerge -UD world it wants to install it again. Any idea on why? qpkg -q shows that nothing is depending on apache1 that isn't covered by apache2. Regards, Carlos. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] kspell with kmail?
Hello Paul! Thank you ever so much for taking the moment to write. I just went through and tested kmail with the settings you suggested and still no success... :-( However, at this point, having seen that you don't appear to have any problems, and assuming your running a fairly standard instance of Gentoo/Kmail, I'm beginning to wonder if something didn't go wrong with my system along the way. What I'm doing now is re-merging aspell, aspell-en, and then I'll give it another go. If it is the KDE side of things that needs re-merging I don't know when I'll find the time seeing as I'm only running on a laptop with a Celeron 550mhz... ;-) Again, thank you very much for the note of suggestion. It's truly greatly appreciated. All the best, Steven On Thursday 28 August 2003 03:18, Paul Stear wrote: Hi Steven, I have just seen this thread and have checked how mine is set up.

So, to use this os combination, you need an ataraid driver for windows compatibility. I don't know if there is a driver, but you may ask google. The stable gentoo-sources support the highpoint and promise raid feature only. I have searched with google.com and posted to other lists. The driver in question is unavailable After first installing Win2K and coming to installing Linux the latter can't see the raid controller but 2 drives. Gentoo will be installed on the 1st drive leaving the 2nd drive empty. If no solution found I have to remove the raid driver/feature only using it as ATA133 controller because the motherboard only supports ATA33. IIRC, there is the possibility to have direct software RAID in at least one win version, so you can habe different RAIDS on different partitions. What is IIRC?

[gentoo-user] Procmail and mail notification
Hello all, I'm not too familiar with procmail, so I don't know if what I want to do is possible. I've only just started using it and thanks to Spider's guide have Spam-Assassin working with it correctly. Here's the current situation: Me and my girlfriend have one computer - a laptop. I want to use it 24/7, she wants to use it just to check mail every so often. So, what I want to do is have procmail send details of any new messages that aren't spam to my girlfriend's mobile. That is, not the whole message, only the date/time, sender and subject - maybe a couple of lines like Spam-Assassin does for spam-mail as well. My guess is that it is not directly possible with procmail. I'm guessing that I'd have to use some sort of script to pipe each e-mail message through. Any suggestions on how I could write such a script? Thanks in advance, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

This means that you list all the files you want to exclude from the backup in a file you create (I called mine rsync-exclude and put it in /usr/local/bin). See `man rsync` for more information. My /usr/local/bin/rsync-exclude looks like this: #== - /tmp/ - /var/lib/init.d/ - /mnt/backup/ - /mnt/cdrom/ - /mnt/floppy/ - /proc/ - /usr/portage/distfiles/ - /root/.ccache/ - /home/peter/.ccache/ #== As Andrew Farmer suggested, you can use /etc/cron.daily to have it run automatically. Before you do so, run it manually to make sure it works for you, altering the mountpoint ($BACKUP_TO) and /dev/hdc in the spin down disk part to suit your installation. My /etc/fstab entry for $BACKUP_TO reads: /dev/hdc1 /mnt/backup ext3 noauto,noatime,users 0 0 ...so, like /boot, it's only mounted when needed. When you are ready to add the backup script to cron.daily, become root and do: cp /usr/local/bin/my-rsync /etc/cron.daily/ Hope this helps you.

Re: [gentoo-user] Slow boot with Serial ATA Harddisk
Thanks for the tips. I added teh hdg=none to my grub.conf and it worked like a charm. However I'm not sure what you mean by disable multi-mode I ran make menuconfig and under [IDE ATA and ATAPI Block Devices] []Use Multi mode by devault is already disabled. Should I turn it on? or is there another setting I'm not seeing. I thought I could add the hdparm rc-script as a dependency to the checkfs rc-script so when fsck gets called the harddisk will already be in DMA mode. However I am yet to make this work.

access. And make sure you're only sending the header. I believe there's
an 'h' flag for procmail to do this. Scanning every line of a 5MB email

I suppose you could use NFS, with an fstab entry like: remotebox:/mnt/backup /mnt/remote/mnt/backup nfs user,noauto,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nolock 0 0 (all one line) ...and an entry in the remote box's /etc/exports like: /mnt/backup 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(sync,insecure,no_root_squash,rw) Then you wouldn't need to use ssh. (man exports(5)) The second question is about the rsync command in your script. What does the --delete option do? Does it delete old backups? Forgive me for being a bit dense here, but I'm rather new at scripting. The script makes a mirror of your system. If you delete any files, the rsync --delete flag deletes those files on the backup next time it's run; otherwise the backup would continually grow (man rsync). Downside of this is that you only have the opportunity to recover accidentally deleted files (one of the main reasons for having a backup, after all) up to the next backup run. This isn't a problem for me because I have another backup strategy using tar. I suppose you could alter the script so that it only does the delete thing once a week, say. if it's Sunday; then rsync --progress --delete -av --exclude-from=$EXCLUDE / \ $BACKUP_TO/rsync/ else rsync --progress -av --exclude-from=$EXCLUDE / \ $BACKUP_TO/rsync/ fi Peter -- == Gentoo: Portage 2.0.48-r5 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1) kernel-2.4.22_pre2-gss i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1600+ == -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Shorewall works at a higher level of abstraction - letting you design network zones and policies - rather that dealing with the details of constructing iptables commands.
