Re: [gentoo-user] /etc/conf.d/local.start and 12
Each process has a STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. 12 means to pipe STDOUT through STDERR. I usually see 21 meaning to pipe STDERR through STDOUT when capturing output.

No. Read through http://evms.sf.net/install/ to find the link.
So, now the situation is better. I can normally boot although there are
several messages I'd like to get rid of.
It starts with: unknown group tty

messages since they're not in dmesg).
My script (if you still use it), doesn't copy /etc/{passwd,group} to the
initrd, so user/group name resolution does not work from it.
There are also several: error comparing kernel mappings for region xxx

Not sure if I get these, also. Have to take a closer look on next reboot.
So, do you ahve any idea how to capture all the boot messages so I can

Hmm, didn't try this, but you could put tee into your initrd and append

Thanks, JBanks --- Joshua Banks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just finished installing Gentoo on an older machine. I've just finished doing system -u update and so I've basically have a system ready to go to the next stage of getting a window manager installed. This is where my Newbness comes in. Since merging over to linux from windows which did everything for me.. Heh..heh.. I tried Mandrake and found that Mandrake was a painless install. It basically did everything for me as well, just allot more to choose from versus M$ and its free. My goal is to try out a lightweight window manager but all that I've been used to is installing is KDE or GNOME. KDE is a fatty and although I like it allot it seems to need a ton of memory and is all around resource hog. Plus I only use it for the following: Web Browser Text Editor Konsole or Console shell Listening to music and occassionally watching mpegs or avi's. I use Gaim for Instant Messenging, Ethereal for sniffing traffic for troubleshooting, and use Shorewall firewall for its ability of Natting or Masq'ing so that more than one person can share the Internet Connection. Where my confusion comes in is the terms used. I just assumed that KDE was my linux face so to say. But then I see terms like: Window Manager...kind-of understand this..The thing thats incharge of drawing the windows.. Session Manager...Not sure what this does or the huge difference between different versions are. Theme Managerkind-of understand this..This lets you Jazz-up your windows environment I think..

Hi, the best thing i can reccomend is that you get a nice box with a dns cache and your choice of qmail,exim,postfix and then queue the mail on that machine alone it will make life slightly easier to do. Also make sure that your upstream isp knows about your mass mailings as they might get a complaint and decide to cut you off. Your biggest bottlenecks will probably come with disk I/O, Bandwidth and DNS. Other than that you should be able to do that know problem. If you need any help feel free to mail me.

Re: [gentoo-user] bittorrent

But - it should be an option for those who do want to use it, and are willing to open the required ports on firewalls, etc. [snip] You only have to open specific ports on firewalls if you are serving a torrent. Others jumping on it have no problem, and are encouraged to do so, since they make everyone's download rate go up. I think you're mistaken. As far as BitTorrent is concerned there should be no difference between someone serving a torrent (IE: the original individual with the complete file) and other peer with parts to share. Someone who is NATted or firewalled but who has the complete file may contribute very little (if at all - I don't know how BT implements this) to other peers. For anyone else reading who is unfamiliar with BitTorrent, background is available at http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/introduction.html I've been using BitTorrent quite a bit recently, and this is what I can surmise: - BitTorrent relies on all peers serving the file simultaneously as downloading it. - If you are behind NAT or a firewall, and have not opened the appropriate ports then other peers cannot connect to you. They can, however, share the file with you if you can connect to them. - The problem with this is that the VAST majority of users are NATted or firewalled do NOT open these ports. - Consequently, the burden of sharing is shifted largely onto the few peers who do have their ports open correctly. - All NATted / firewalled peers (without ports open) share a total download bandwidth supplied by the total upload of peers with their ports open correctly. It is more desirable that all peers share a download bandwidth equalling the total upload of ALL peers (which is many times more). - If you open your ports, all the incorrectly configured clients can then connect to you, and you benefit from their total upload bandwidth, too. Whether this is important is a matter of scaling. I tend to deal mostly, at present, with .torrents with a shortish life-span (of a week or three) and total peers in the order of 10 - 200. My theory is that when a .torrent is fresh, there a relatively high number of sophisticated peers connected: that is to say peers who know what they're doing have their ports open; if just one or two of these peers are on a fast connection (say 3mbit or a university connection) then they can largely compensate for all the unsophisticated peers (without their ports open). It is still possible for the unsophisticated peers to download, say, a 650meg file in a matter of a few hours, especially as an unspohisticated peer may get a chunk from one sophisticated peer and share it with several others. When there are only a dozen or two peers, however, and only one of them has his ports open, the download rate for NATted/firewalled peers slows to trickle - if the sophisticated peer has only 512/256 ADSL, then his meagre upload is shared between ALL of the unsophisticated peers. The sophisticated peer can get chunks from all of the other peers, however, and may still be able to saturate his bandwidth. A characteristic of this scenario is that you may experience very fast download rates up to a certain point, and only then does the trickle become noticeable. Conclusion: it may not always matter to you if you're NATted or firewalled when you BitTorrent, but if you are then you become part of the problem. Users opening their BitTorrent ports (6881 - 6889 are a good start) may experience speed increases of a factor of 10 or more. It is my experience that for any reasonably well-seeded (or even well-peered) file then BitTorrent should be able to saturate my 512k ADSL download bandwidth - I can download a 650meg file in 3 - 6 hours, when NATted / firewalled peers might show ETAs of several days for the same file. I like this discussion of BitTorrent's ports firewall requirements, but it seems to be down at the time of writing: http://www.dessent.net/btfaq/#ports I would be interested to discuss this matter further, especially if you can point out any flaws in my reasoning.

[gentoo-user] Making the forums searchable
Hi guys, I guess a lot of you already know that the search function in phpBB doesn't really work very well. Search for nsteg f.ex. - and you won't get hits on several hints that are in there - and it's also full of stop words, that mean you can't search on those - that sometimes would give many, but good hits. All this could be resolved easily, by inserting some rewite rules in apache and an output-filter in php (or apache - it too has modules/features for this kinda stuff) which simply rewrites urls like: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewforum.php?f=14sid=0d48ecb4e79d41ac653661d849983ec6 to http://forums.gentoo.org/viewforum.php/f/14 and for gods sake - put sid in a cookie - and besides why should the sid be necessary for not logged in users? All this has been done in PostNuke, and I'd gladly do the setup in apache/php for the forums - so that everyone who uses google, also can find all the GREAT help there is to find in the Gentoo Forum. I have many times found answers to hard problems in the gentoo forums, which werent' available on google - and I'm sorry to see that so many Linux users don't find the gentoo forums - or just don't find the answer on the forums, due to the bad search function in phpBB. -- Regards, Klavs Klavsen, GSEC - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.vsen.dk PGP: 7E063C62/2873 188C 968E 600D D8F8 B8DA 3D3A 0B79 7E06 3C62 See my new CMS Hosting Service at http://www.VirkPaaNettet.dk Working with Unix is like wrestling a worthy opponent.

First, I'd say this indicates a hardware problem. Move the card to a
different slot. If that doesn't stop the errors, replace the card. While
you can always get rid of noises in the car by turning the stereo up, it's
not necessarily the best idea.
That said, the following would let you can the errors:
filter drop_eth2_errors { match(eth2: PCI Bus error); };
destination null { file(/dev/null); };
log { source(src); filter(drop_eth2_errors); destination(null);
flags(final); };
If you don't have 'flags(final)' then it will continue processing after
it delivers to /dev/null, and deliver to /var/log/messages.
The manpage for syslog-ng.conf doesn't have much information, but the
manual at /usr/share/doc/syslog-ng*/html/book1.html has all you need to

The fan headers you don't have anything connected to, so don't worry about them. The VCore 2 I assume your machine does not use (do you have a P4 by any chance?). The -12v and -5v lines being way off probably means your PSU isn't supplying them, or is doing an extremely bad job of it. There is very, very little equipment around that uses these lines, so again, don't worry about them. The temp2 is quite high, I'd look into better cooling for your CPU.

[gentoo-user] sa-learn
Hi, I figured out that spamd, when started with the -x flag uses one database and not one for each user. I hope that is right. If so how, or better as what user, do I have to run sa-learn zo make sure this database is trained? If the above is not correct at all, here is what I do. I fetch mail for all users and sort it with procmail (procmail is started from postfix). spamc is envoked from there. I am nit sure under what user these are running but ti seems that it is not a priviledged user as I couldn't uses /var/log/procmail.log due to a lack of write permission. So I guess it doesn't make sense that every user trains SA but that one database of ham and spam is built. So the user databaeses should not be readable by the user running procmail anyway. So can you give me push into the right direction? Thanks Christian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

There may be dead spots inside the case where air doesn't circulate no matter how many fans you have. Brett is absolutely right. It can't be too cool inside your case. But, there is the law of diminishing returns. At some point, the air inside your box gets so close in temperature to the ambient that more fans becomes a waste of money and power supply wattage. In my Athlon XP 2100+ box, the inside air temp stays at about 10 degrees C above ambient and the processor about 5 degrees C above that. Currently, CPU temp is 36 C inside air is 32 C and ambient is 23 C. I have 2 generic fans at the front of the box sucking air in and one at the rear blowing out. The CPU heatsink and fan are the basic AMD approved units that came with the processor. ($8 retail)The 450 Watt PSU is a dual fan unit that sucks air in from within the case and blows it out at the top rear. The dead spots that Brett mention can be the fault of a poorly designed case or, more commonly cables and other stuff obstructing air flow. The biggest culprits are the IDE cables. If not positioned properly they can cut air flow to the point where you can have 20 degree differences in temps in various spots within the case. The best bet is to buy the round jacketed cables, but these can severely destroy a budget. I tend to tuck extra length of my IDE cables into unused drive bays and rout them in places where they won't block air flow I hope this helps you some what. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Ok, an upcoming vacation and my seeming inability to completely shoot a roll of film and get it developed before it's so old that half the pictures look like they were shot from behind brown draperies have got me thinking about getting a digital camera. Since I live in a Windows-free environment, any such camera must be compatible with Linux in at least these ways: * Appears to the system as a USB mass-storage device -- that means, no special software or drivers are needed; you just plug it in and you can then get your pictures off it like a normal filesystem. + This would also be a benefit if I needed to plug it into someone else's computer in order to upload the pix to myself or something. I've tried to deal with cameras at work (Kinko's) that needed special drivers, and had to give up when even the manufacturer's web site did not have have (Win2k) drivers that would work. * No more than two hours of screwing with config files or kernel rebuilds should be required to get it working. Further, it must be compatible with my budget, which means it costs less than $300 (US). :) I know this will not get me an ultra-high-quality camera, but from what I've read the photos from such a device should be more than sufficient for my meager needs. Does such a thing exist? If anyone has one, I'd sure like to know about it! I bought a Kodak DX6340 3.1 megapixel. It has 4x optical/3x digital. I bought it at Costco for $329 and it came with an included base station and the NiMH battery as well. It uses SD memory, which is awesome. It has an included 16MB and I added an additional 256MB ($65 Sandisk from Costco as well). This thing has been very nice and easy to use. It also reportedly works very well with Linux (I haven't yet tried). I am sure you can find this camera for less than $300 by searching the online vendors for better prices. The base station is not stock equipment unless you buy the camera from Costco. Tom Veldhouse -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Digital camera recommendations?
do yourself a favour and get a card reader with the camera. they appear as a usb mass-storage device to linux and are even more portable than the camera itself. what's more, they're nearly free. i once saw one for $20 with a $20 rebate. setup for linux was as easy as plugging it in, finding the device that was created for it in /dev/usb/ and i was ready to go. as far as cameras go, i swear by my canon powershot g3, but it's kinda pricy. from what i've heard (not my personal experience since i've only ever used mine), nikon olympus are cheap and high quality, canon is expensive and high quality, as is sony (but they use memorysticks... ew). i've been told the following over and over again: stay away from kodak and hp. they suck. i'm a fan of rechargable battery based cameras as opposed to 4-AA's, but only because it's more environmentally friendly, and i chose compact-flash over sony's memory sticks simply out of distates for proprietary standars and price (memory sticks are nearly 2x the price of similar compact-flash cards. a good place to look for quality comparisions is google. i found a site through there that compared any camera out there to any other camera based on pretty much anything you can think of. sorry, i don't have the link handy. good luck and have a lot of fun.

Hi, all... Ok, an upcoming vacation and my seeming inability to completely shoot a roll of film and get it developed before it's so old that half the pictures look like they were shot from behind brown draperies have got me thinking about getting a digital camera. Since I live in a Windows-free environment, any such camera must be compatible with Linux in at least these ways: * Appears to the system as a USB mass-storage device -- that means, no special software or drivers are needed; you just plug it in and you can then get your pictures off it like a normal filesystem. + This would also be a benefit if I needed to plug it into someone else's computer in order to upload the pix to myself or something. I've tried to deal with cameras at work (Kinko's) that needed special drivers, and had to give up when even the manufacturer's web site did not have have (Win2k) drivers that would work. * No more than two hours of screwing with config files or kernel rebuilds should be required to get it working. Further, it must be compatible with my budget, which means it costs less than $300 (US). :) I know this will not get me an ultra-high-quality camera, but from what I've read the photos from such a device should be more than sufficient for my meager needs. Does such a thing exist? If anyone has one, I'd sure like to know about it! I bought a Kodak DX6340 3.1 megapixel. It has 4x optical/3x digital. I bought it at Costco for $329 and it came with an included base station and the NiMH battery as well. It uses SD memory, which is awesome. It has an included 16MB and I added an additional 256MB ($65 Sandisk from Costco as well). This thing has been very nice and easy to use. It also reportedly works very well with Linux (I haven't yet tried). I am sure you can find this camera for less than $300 by searching the online vendors for better prices. The base station is not stock equipment unless you buy the camera from Costco. Tom Veldhouse -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Digital camera recommendations?
i'm a fan of rechargable battery based cameras as opposed to 4-AA's, but only because it's more environmentally friendly, and i chose compact-flash over sony's memory sticks simply out of distates for proprietary standars and price (memory sticks are nearly 2x the price of similar compact-flash cards. Actually I'm undecided. I have a canon a70 (4xAA) and have two sets of rechargable NiMH batteries for it. The advantage I see over propriatory batteries is that if I do run both sets down (for me a set will last a day of full shooting, ie: all the time), I can run down to the corner store and pick up an emergency set. With custom batteries you're probably going to pay the same amount to get a second set (and charger) as a spare, and if they both run down you're out of luck (of course, if the recharable AAs run down outside where one can get a set of AAs the same applies). I guess my point is that while this is a valid point, don't restrict yourself as it is possible to be environmentally friendly for about the same cost :) Use all these suggestions and get the camera that feels good in your hands, you like and that you're comfortable with and most importantly, that you're going to use! :) alan -- Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://arcterex.net There are only 3 real sports: bull-fighting, car racing and mountain climbing.

Just so folks don't think that Peter's problems are due to the Nforce

my onboard nic is fine, and the onboard firewire seems to work too.

I found one discussion that might be related (?): http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg14363.html Any suggestion would be really appreciated. /Kasper Here are some details (manually copy/pasted): # ifconfig eth0Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:93:B1:63:DC inet addr:130.233.30.18 Bcast:130.233.31.255 Mask:255.255.240.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:299064 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:39 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txquelen:100 RX bytes:39259331 (37.4 Mb) TX bytes:2843 (2.7 Kb) Interrupt:41 Base address:0x2000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txquelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) # route (I took out the Ref and Use columns, all were 0) Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Iface 130.233.16.0* 255.255.240.0 U 0 eth0 default trinet-gw.tky.h 0.0.0.0 UG 1 eth0 # cat /etc/conf.d/net (Comments removed) iface_eth0=130.233.30.18 broadcast 130.233.31.255 netmask 255.255.240.0 gateway=eth0/130.233.31.254 # ping 130.233.30.17 PING 130.233.30.17 (130.233.30.17) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 130.233.30.17: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=1.4 ms # ping kosh.hut.fi PING kosh.hut.fi (130.233.228.10) 56(84) bytes of data. nothing happens... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list do you have a valid nameserver entry in /etc/resolv.conf Yes, I can resolve hostnames, because the DNS server is on the same subnet. /Kasper -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I would appreciate links and/or hints. I have a nforce2 m/b using the it8712 sensor chipset. I am using lm-sensors in gkrellm. Using modules i2c-isa and it87, it works with 2.4.23-pre5 and prior 2.4 kernels. Unfortunately this sensors chipset doesnt work with gkrellm and 2.6 kernels. But you can access the sensors info in /sys/devices/legacy/i2c-0 With my 2.4 kernel i am using lm_sensors-2.6.3 and i2c-2.6.3, which i compile and install in /usr/src/modules. Been doing it this way since before i started using Gentoo. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list This thing uses the w83781d chip, if my tired eyes can see that well, and I've not had any luck before. I recently upgraded to gentoo-sources-2/4/20-r7 from r1 and am thinking about trying again. I'm just hunting for success stories -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
