Re: [gentoo-user] DMA messages at bootup

(I'm not in front of any Linux or UNIX system right now, so cannot give you the details.) Once you feel comfortable that your system is absolutely stable with the hdparm's settings you set at each bootup, you may run hdparm interactively and set all the settings you are happy with, *including* the parameter to make the setting 'sticky'. From that point, you do not need to run the hdparm 'service' at bootup or shutdown any more and you may remove it from your runlevel(s).

Hi all, frankly, I tried stage 1 once and I've been stroke by the overall gain in pure performance. Maybe that's due to my non-recent hardware: PIII 733, 256MB ram, VIA M/B chipsets. As an example, power-up takes 20s instead of 1min 20s (all without X, of course).

If the D sign is missing then the package will *not* be downgraded, it will be installed in a different slot. The portage idea of slots is for packages with different versions that can coexist on a system. For example, you can have gtk+-2.2 and gtk+-1.2 at the same time. Thus if you have gtk+-2.2 installed and you want to install gtk+-1.2 (e.g. as a dependency) it will be shown as an upgrade and *not* as downgrade. Hence portage will show an U without D. If you want to know whether a package will be installed in a slot look for a SLOT= in the ebuild, e.g. for gnome-base/control-center: $ grep SLOT /usr/portage/gnome-base/control-center/*.ebuild /usr/portage/gnome-base/control-center/control-center-1.4.0.5-r1.ebuild:SLOT=1 /usr/portage/gnome-base/control-center/control-center-2.2.0.1-r1.ebuild:SLOT=2 /usr/portage/gnome-base/control-center/control-center-2.2.1.ebuild:SLOT=2 /usr/portage/gnome-base/control-center/control-center-2.2.2-r1.ebuild:SLOT=2 /usr/portage/gnome-base/control-center/control-center-2.2.2.ebuild:SLOT=2 /usr/portage/gnome-base/control-center/control-center-2.4.0.ebuild:SLOT=2 So gnome-1.4 is installed in SLOT=1 and gnome-2 in SLOT=2.

Qmail-scanner sits in between incoming SMTP requests and qmail-send, and runs SpamAsassin, F-Prot, etc. After that, it hands it off to qmail-send like usual and everything is taken care of for you. It seemed like the simplest solution for me. I suggest reading the qmail-scanner information page as this undoubtedly got me on the right path.

The impression I get is that ID games require that no changes be made to their installers, and that their installer allows the user to choose where in the filesystem files are located; this makes package-management via Portage impossible. If this is not the case, then I apologise - I'm sure one of the devs will step up correct me.

If there is someone else I should talk to about this, let me know so I can contact them. We appear to be at an impass since neither of us appears to be getting through to the other. To be honest, I simply don't see how if I were to change the ebuild to display the EULA and force the user to accept before continuing does not meet the licensing requirements. Since I have repeated this and gotten no real response on it specifically other than you repeating about a wrapper, I am assuming that this is not acceptable to meet the license. Hello Being an avid enemy territory addict I'm very distressed to hear that idgames on gentoo including enemy territory are becoming more of an impossibility as exhibited by the above email. Please allow me to make a suggestion or two. What is required here is some sort of explicit and interactive consent of the EULA by the gentoo user. This can be done in two ways. (1) Add an F flag to the ebuild thereby forcing the user to download the installer independently of portage and thereby agree to EULA online somewhere. You don't have to agree to an EULA to download the game. The EULA is only displayed when running the installer. (2) Add an environment variable so that the package will only install when the environment variable is set correctly. So, when the ebuild is executed initially it will output a message saying Please read the EULA on URL and extend your explicit consent by doing the following. AGREE_EULA=yes emerge enemy-territory Personally, I am tempted to go with the second option above as this not only fulfills the EULA requirement but also makes the ebuild non-interactive which in my opinion all ebuilds should most definitely be. I've removed the ebuild and have no plans on putting it back in portage unless some agreement can be made between id software and the games team. Actually, this has prompted me to also remove RTCW and the quake3 based games, since they all have this same problem. (3) The other non-interactive option is as mentioned in the previous email adding a wrapper to the main executable which asks for consent on first run and then stores evidence of consent on the local filesystem. All future executions of the game proceed as normal. This isn't what Timothy was proposing. He was proposing a wrapper on the *installer*, which does us zero good and serves no purpose other than to add another layer of useless cruft. I look forward to receiving feedback on these propositions and trust that a mutual agreement shall be reached between all concerned parties. Yes, an agreement was reached. I removed the ebuilds from portage. I had already created a new ebuild and a new function for eutils which would display the license and force the user to accept before continuing. Apparently, this was not acceptable to id. In fact, nothing was acceptable other than running the installer itself. The problem with this is #1. it is interactive only, #2. it requires gtk (even for a server-only install), #3. we have no control over the installation path, so portage cannot track the files. Having an ebuild that simply wraps the installer is pointless since we would only be wrapping the installer. There is no tracking of the actual game files. This makes the installation no different functionally than a user downloading the game themselves and running the installer. For this reason, I have decided to remove the ebuild entirely. -- Chris Gianelloni Developer, Gentoo Linux Games Team Is your power animal a pengiun? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ---End Message--- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Re: gd + truetype probs (was dev-perl/GD libgd truetype)
Okay, I found the problem. It's probably the same with PHP. TrueType != FreeType. Well sort of. For gentoo, the flag 'truetype' is FreeType v2, and freetype-version-1 is, obviously, FreeType v1. For libgd, 'LIBTTF' is FreeType v1 and 'LIBFREETYPE' is FreeType v2. LIBTTF implements stringTTF, LIBFREETYPE implements stringFT. To make things a bit more complicated, in 1.8.4 at least, if LIBFREETYPE is not defined, stringFT == stringTTF but the other way isn't true (if LIBTTF isn't define, stringTTF != stringFT) But!, in libgd 2.0+, it seems to be the opposite (I did only a quick check though).

Qmail-scanner detects which components you have on install... so as long as you have SpamAssassin's spamd running, there should be little else you need to do other than customizing the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file. -brian One other thing I forgot to add... you can check to see what qmail-scanner detected on install by running it with a -v flag, e.g. - saturn root # /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl -v qmail-scanner-queue.pl Version: 1.16 Perl:Summary of my perl5 (revision 5.0 version 8 subversion 0) configuration: Scanners: perlscanner, fprot_scanner, clamscan_scanner, spamassassin Scanner versioning: f-prot: 3.12. clamscan: 0.60. spamassassin: 2.55.

Just for future reference, configure errors often show up in the
config.log file in the work directory for the package you are building.
For example, the gettex-0.11.5 work dir is in
/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.11.5-r1/work/gettext-0.11.5 by default. This
directory wont be cleaned up if there is a build error, so you should
still have it. Take a look at the config.log file for the information
following the line: configure:1817: checking for C compiler default
output, hopefully there will be a bit of information about the error.
Here's what the error will look like if one of your CFLAGS are wrong:
configure:1817: checking for C compiler default output

But when I try to compile the kernel, I get the *same* exact errors as before. Now I am clueless, and I think that memtest is lying to me. No it simply shows you that in memory one or bit's have flipped, but it does NOT tell you that the memory is faulty. I would check the PSU, because if that is not quite up to the need then compiling and memtesting can drain too much power from it. This leads to overheat condition, which then leads to massive or minor voltage oscillation. This results can be seen either as memory or CPU failures depending which power rails the system stresses too much under heavy load. One of the odd things about the RAM error is that it was more than 768 mb down the line,and never once have I seen linux eat up 512 mb of RAM. Just 'one of those things' I guess. Yeah it most likely is not memory error. Memory testing is the easiest way to determine that the system has something wrong. Can you fellows think of anything else I can do? As a check up try to run memtest with open cover and put a table fan to blow inside the case. If it still fails check, which parts of the system are hot, if any. So if the PSU gets really hot even in that condition then you most likely have too low speced PSU, which is the one thing that most peoples and COMPANIES are trying to save some money. A too low speced PSU is really an anoying thing, because in normal operation it works all right although it can still oscillate the voltages heavily, but if the voltages doesn't get too low the system just functions, but it stresses the HW and reduces it's life time. If the PSU is not the problem, but some other part of the machine burns when touching then you have too low cooling in your system. PS. This certainly doesn't mean that there is no faulty memories, but in reality from the quantities they are made only very small amount of the faulty ones gets pass the QA. People simply just think that the memory is faulty, but in fact the memory module might be just close of the QA limit, and a litle under powered or overheated environment rises the resistance of that module too high, which then shows up as a memory failure. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list Thank you for that bit of information.

Re: [gentoo-user] Spamassassin + qmail + vpopmail + procmail + courier-imapd + squirrelmail
snip ..
If you've already got qmail-scanner working, getting SpamAssasin in the
mix should be extremely easy.
Yes i do have qmail-scanner and clamav running .. i have also decided not to
use procmail ..
i have reemerged qmail-scanner it has added it as a scanner, but now is
there a need to create any files in the virtual users domains?
need i create a mailfilter file looking like below
Create a /etc/mailfilter file with the following:
##
#mailfilter
##
import EXT
import HOST
import HOME
SPAMBOX=.Spam
VHOME=`/opt/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if ((/^X-Spam-Status:.*YES/))
{
`test -d $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
`/usr/local/bin/maildirmake $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam;chown -R vpopmail.vchkpw
$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
`echo INBOX.Spam $VHOME/Maildir/courierimapsubscribed`
}
to $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam/
}
to $VHOME/Maildir/
#
what should my /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf look like for general
protection until i catch on here?
thanks ..

[gentoo-user] PCMCIA eth0 error after new baselayout
I recently upgraded to a new version of baselayout and I am now getting an error when booting. When PCMCIA starts up it detects my ethernet card so it starts net.eth0. But when it runs that it displays: Start Error Message Could not get dependency info for net.eth0! Please run: # /sbin/depscan.sh to fix this. End Error Message This message is repeated three times. eth0 is actually brought up and works correctly. So it is really just that I want to get rid of the error message. Anybody with any good ideas on what to do to fix this? I've tried to run depscan.sh as the error message suggested, but that did nothing.

Re: [gentoo-user] best kernel source for laptops
mm-sources follow the development kernel releases, if you like the idea of things maybe not working with your config then mm-sources could be a good choice for you (I'm not saying that the stable branch will always work for you but it is more throughly tested and supported than the unstable branch). However, I only use mm-sources/development-sources for testing purposes not as my main kernel.
