[gentoo-user] bootstrap after installation possible?
Hi, I installed my Gentoo from stage 3. Now I'm wondering if I can go back, and start from stage 1 (bootstrap) again, without jeopardizing my currently functioning system. If it's possible, is it reasonable to do so? Can I maybe get out a little more speed this way? How is the exact procedure? Just run the bootstrap script, and then emerge system? -- Best regards, Klaus - Gentoo-Linux = the better choice! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] First time installing Gentoo 1.4
Hi Bill, This PC, a RAID-0 box for test use, has a motherboard which only supports ATA-33 hard drive. I have no ATA-33 hard drive and only have ATA-133 hard drive available for test. The problem is with the ATA-133 RAID controller installed on booting the PC the BIOS detects it. I have searched around on the BIOS pages to disable it without result. ATA-133 hard drive does not work on the old motherboard. I have tested it. I have no ATA-133 controller available therefore I got a ATA-66 controller from stock instead and continued testing installation of Gentoo 1.4. However I encountered another problem as follows; At start hitting Enter to start standard kernel cdimage root # fdisk -l Disk /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc: 40.0 GB 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4866 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Devices /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 Boot# Start 1 End 4866 Block 39086113+ Id c System Win95 FAT32 (LBA) cdimage root # fdisk /dev/hda Unable to open /dev/hda cdimage root # fdisk /dev/hdc You will not be able to write the partition table.

I am using raid0 on the motherboard ports, and when I set this up (~ two years ago under mandrake on another MB and still going under gentoo) and it was reccomended then to run (it was a hpt controller) any winraid card in ide mode and use softraid.

Either it is a brand new ebuild that isn't proven stable on your architecture or the developers want some daring soles to test it before commiting it to stable.

I've embedded them within the code. This may be OT for this thread, but there may be a simpler way to accomplish the same results. iirc, you said you were using procmail to filter incoming mail and wanted to use a perl script to send notification to another email address. I do the exact same thing, but without the perl script. Take a look at this slice of my .procmailrc: # Begin ~/.procmailrc [EMAIL PROTECTED] #- # BEGIN SAFETY NET # # All mail to Maildir first # :0c Maildir/ # END SAFETY NET # # Mail from work # :0hc # h=header only, c=copy * ^From.*(work|slavedriver|ballandchain) # usual filter !$FWD_URGENT # send the header to cellphone :0 # deposit msg to sep dir * ^From.*(work|slavedriver|ballandchain) WorkMail/ # End ~/.procmailrc I am by no means even remotely good at procmail scripts, I just hacked this once and stuck with it. All it does is copy the header info of the relevant message to my cell phone's email address. This way I know right away if I need to check mail (or if innaccessible, call the person). btw - this only works well if people use short, clear subject lines. All you'll get is the sender's email address and subj. HTH, Cooper. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Can Gentoo install source file?
On Sunday 07 September 2003 13:51, Joshua Banks wrote: Good question.. :) I was kindof wondering the same thing. What if I want to install something in tar.gz format that isn't in the portage tree? Will gentoo still let us compile source manually via ./configure, make, make install commands or not? Or are the commands different? Before doing your own ebuild you should really search the gentoo bugzilla if somebody has allready made an ebuild for that particular software. If not then follow the next one. Simply copy the /usr/portage/skel.ebuild to your local portage tree to the category of your choice (well inside a directory of the name of the package you want to use) and rename it to package-name-version.ebuild Fill the required variables in that ebuild and save. ebuild relative/path/to/your/ebuild digest This will fetch the tarball from what ever source URI you set in the ebuild and create the digest and manifest files. Then simply emerge your-package. If it bails out try the alternative methods in compile and install functions in the ebuild you filled up. The skel.ebuild is heavily commented so it's quite self explanatory. After it compiles and works (Like most software will) you can contribute to Gentoo and fill an ebuild addition bug for that software to be added in portage official tree. Before makeing the bug report strip all the skel explanation comments from the ebuild and double check that it still compiles okay and submit. I allways try to do that if I get software that is not in portage tree. PS. Read the softwares home page to see what that software requires as dependencies and fill those packages to the DEPEND in the ebuild. PS. PS. if that package should use some USE flags to make the compilation conditional and you don't get those right then at least mention these things in the bug report, so that the person who handles your bug report don't need to find that out later, but knows that your ebuild is not a complete solution. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Since you only want 20 lines you can use @body_text[0 .. 19] in the
join. If you want to reduce everything to a few lines, you can use a
second join to add the newlines:
$text = join(\n, split(\n, join( , @body_text[0 .. 19])));
or use map to keep the result as an array:
@body_text = map { $_ .\n } split( same as above );

[gentoo-user] RTL8139 Freezes Ifconfig in Basic 1.4 but not in 1.4RC4??!
Hi peeps, I am having a real problem with new Gentoo 1.4 basic LiveCD. When I start it up (kernel acpi, parms dokeymap to select UK), I get this five or so repeated lines showing that 8139cp driver is loading with Sep 2 release date, and nothing more. Confirmed by dmesg. When I'm in at root, I do an ifconfig eth0 and it freezes! Nothing happens, the console is dead, characters I type just appear at the cursor which just sits where it's put to the right of the typed characters, and only a kill of ifconfig from an alternative console can get it back. I tried modprobe 8139cp and, yikes, there's no such device. I try rmmod 8139cp for good measure, and of course the module was never loaded :-( . I try modprobe 8139too - it loads alright, displaying nothing, but ifconfig still freezes up. net-setup eth0 can't get far - soon as it starts dhcpcd, it freezes, again. :-( The only difference now is that, from another console, attempt to rmmod 8139too shows device as busy. I tried with the nofb kernel (I use a braille terminal driver which must not have a framebuffer mode) and also the noapic parameter for the nofb kernel - same thing. This never ever ever bothered me in the good times of 1.4RC4's LiveCD, it just worked!

Re: [gentoo-user] Blatantly OT: Secondary DNS Exchange
I too have been looking at doing just the same thing, but I'm on a semi-static cable link. I'll keep the same address for months (normally 2 or 3), but my address does indeed change.

Check out http://eu.org for scanty details. There is a problem, however: my secondary DNS services are currently being provided by Granite Canyon, and as explained in this URL http://tinyurl.com/melw (if you're really interested) it seems I can't get them carry reverse-lookups for me. This shouldn't matter, but it's bugging me. My solution to this is to try find someone else to host my secondary, but I don't seem to be able to find other organisation that does free DNS with zone transfers. I think this is what is required for me to retain central control over somemachine.stroller.uk.eu.org someothermachine.stroller.uk.eu.org c ad infinitum. I have contemplated doing a secondary swap with someone at http://ns2exchange.com/thelist.asp but I don't know anyone there. I'm sure they're all reliable people, but I'm extremely conscious that don't want a secondary who isn't going to disappear on me when they decide to reinstall or move ISP ( IP address). It occurred to me, then, that I trust feel I can rely on members of the Gentoo community: Does anyone here run their own Bind server, who wants to host DNS secondary for me, on an exchange basis..? I was getting uptimes in monthly figures when my server was on Mandrake, and I don't see how that should change significantly since I migrated it to Gentoo a couple of months ago, so you're likely to get reliable service from me. If there was enough interest, we could even form the Unofficial Gentoo-User Secondary-DNS Cabal (tm) which would, with several of us providing secondary DNS for each other, provide pretty reasonable redundancy, I reckon.

What if I want to install something in tar.gz format that isn't in the portage tree? Will gentoo still let us compile source manually via ./configure, make, make install commands or not? Or are the commands different? Before doing your own ebuild you should really search the gentoo bugzilla if somebody has allready made an ebuild for that particular software. If not then follow the next one. Simply copy the /usr/portage/skel.ebuild to your local portage tree to the category of your choice (well inside a directory of the name of the package you want to use) and rename it to package-name-version.ebuild Fill the required variables in that ebuild and save. ebuild relative/path/to/your/ebuild digest This will fetch the tarball from what ever source URI you set in the ebuild and create the digest and manifest files. Then simply emerge your-package. If it bails out try the alternative methods in compile and install functions in the ebuild you filled up. The skel.ebuild is heavily commented so it's quite self explanatory. After it compiles and works (Like most software will) you can contribute to Gentoo and fill an ebuild addition bug for that software to be added in portage official tree. Before makeing the bug report strip all the skel explanation comments from the ebuild and double check that it still compiles okay and submit. I allways try to do that if I get software that is not in portage tree. PS. Read the softwares home page to see what that software requires as dependencies and fill those packages to the DEPEND in the ebuild. PS. PS. if that package should use some USE flags to make the compilation conditional and you don't get those right then at least mention these things in the bug report, so that the person who handles your bug report don't need to find that out later, but knows that your ebuild is not a complete solution. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list __ Do you Yahoo!?

[gentoo-user] The Gentoo Way see'ing linux with new eyes!!
I'm writing to this list in the hopes that I can get some resolution, insight, clarity and to vent in the hopes that someone understands and can possibly help symathize/empythize. Thus, it is a little long winded...but please take the time to readon and help get me on the right path:) I don't need allot of hand holding just some suggestions and some Wise Eyes. I have about 17 questions, that should, for the experienced users, should be very easy to see whats happening...I very much appreciate your time. Where am I coming from? Well, I'm not NEW to M$,trouble shooting tcp/ip indepth,and firewalling. Having used a product that has basically done everything for me,... M$... (background process,programs, kernel wise)M$has kept me at M$'s mercy. Looking to broadening my Horizons and breaking free from the almighty M$ beast. Eventually I would like to have a firm grasp and abiltiy to control my wild linux animal:D I have a friend at work that has (Gentoo linux) (At this point all linux distro's were the same in my mind..not knowing squat about linux at all) which had WEB,FTP,Firewall,DNS,MAIL,SAMBA file/print server, all on the same beefy box. I was very impressed, and most of all impressed with the fact that this was all FREE software. But I noticed one thing that kind-of made me cringe...(again not know anything about linux) he did most of his configuring via command line and editing config files with VI. Everytime he downloaded software it would compile each program and spit out strange looking stuff on the screen..scary looking. :) WATCHING THIS and.. .. coming from an OS/Kernel that not only does everything for you but is also GUI based has spoiled me rotten but at the same time has held me down to the M$ level. So watching him work with config files and here'ing all the linux buzz words...about compiling everthing from the source..ect..ect.. honestly intimidated me quite a bit. But I'm a rebel right... So I installed Linux Mandrake (on my friends suggestion), for the first time about 6 months ago. Started to get used to my new surroundings compairing to M$. All in all it was a pretty painless install experience. Booted off the CD, chose all packages , and suprisingliy, everything seemed to run smoothy. I could read cd's, listen to muisc,download email, whatch mpeg movies, print.And the best part about it was that it was FREE software, did the simple things that I do with M$, and then-some, big-time...(THE IMPORTANT POINT HERE IS THAT MANDRAKE SEEMED TO DO EVERYTHING FOR ME AS WELLLHEE.HEE...:D Cool, I'm liking this... didn't cost me a penny, doesn't crash on me or constantly and ask me to download security patch's on a daily basis. IMPRESSIVE! My very basic, basic, computer needs are met and I'm able to treverse around this new OS without much trouble. Getting a little more confident now,. and wondering why I had never used linux before Everything ws running smoothly until I started to tailor the system to my custom computer wants and software needs. Gaim..for IM'ing, Shorewall firewall for simple secuity and masq'ing to share our chinsey dialup line... Well running MDK 9.0 and needing to upgrade to 9.1 at this point wasn't a choice because downloading 2 gigs to get too 9.1 on a dialup is out of the question. But I needed all the new features that the new kernel and 9.1 offered... RPM cookers and RPM hell...And I mean HELL...Dependency this..Dependency that..But I didn't give up. After two weeks of getting no where, slowly lossing my sanity and Mandrake starting to fall apart because of the frustrated dimwhitted attempts at blindly doing anything/stupid things to get things to work, I got so frustrated that I wanted to cause my computer PAIN. I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about, most seem to anyway.. :D Most of all I wanted to scream at Linus if he could only here meAnd whats the first thing I want to do,.of coursego back to M$...like a little baby..Yes, I admit it. I go back to my friend to let him know the madness that I'm going through and he suggested that I goto Gentoo. He did the best that he could to explain how Gentoo differs form the RPM based linux distro's and how this would solve allot of the RPM frustrations that I was going through and keep me up-to-date and unbloated with software that I only used an not everything else. I liked the sound of that. Matter of fact that sounded perfect... LiTTle did I know the journey that I embarked upon...:D He burned me two Gentoo CD's at work for my PIII arcitecture...and said to follow the install guide and do a stage3+GRP install because I had dialup. For the most part I followed this install guide to the letter. And to be honest I didn't really understand most of what I was doing while I was doing it, so this proves that the doc is for the most part well written. This is now a totally different universe than even Mandrake was. I can see that

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel panic during boot
