Yesterday, you told me that it could be better to pull air inside and the guy at the shop told me that on his own box he had a fan in front pulling air inside and one at the rear blowing air outside. I'm at a complete loss here. Should I follow box's instructions? or the guy's advice. I think I'll first try with one in the front and one in the back.

[gentoo-user] Unmasking packages... the proper way!
Hello all, I've usually been unmasking packages by edit profiles/packages.mask, but it's getting to be a pain. I read in a recent thread on -dev that packages should be unmasked in /etc/portage/package.unmask, but it doesn't seem to work. It ended with an unanswered question asking if the behaviour has recently changed. Here's my situation: bash-2.05b# cat /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask | grep xfree-4.3.99 =x11-base/xfree-4.3.99 bash-2.05b# cat /etc/portage/packages.unmask =x11-base/xfree-4.3.99 bash-2.05b# cat /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.3.99.12.ebuild | grep KEYWORDS KEYWORDS=~x86 ~ppc ~sparc ~alpha ~mips ~hppa ~arm bash-2.05b# emerge -uDp world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuild UD] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 [4.3.99.12] So, my question is; if anybody is successfully unmasking packages without editing anything in /usr/portage, how are you doing it?

Hi, I'm doing this using Shorewall, DHCP and dnsmasq. One PC with one interface to the internet and the second one on a little switch. A notebook and another PC connected to the switch.

[gentoo-user] Any Wine users out there?
Hi, I emerged Wine-20030813 this morning. The emerge seems to have gone fine. There didn't seem to be any Gentoo specific info on how the ebuild sets it up. I found the .wine directory and took a look at the config file, understood the fake_windows directory to be the c:\ drive and downloaded a copy of the WinZip install program there are a test. I then executed 'wine winzip91.exe' which starts to install WinZip but then fails. WinZip generates an error file (attached) and of course the program doesn't run. I used the WinZip install as a test only since I've used it under other distributions and it's worked OK in the past. It's not something I needed. 1) Are there any Gentoo specific Wine resources out there? 2) What other Windows apps can I try to get this installation debugged? 3) I made no modifications to any Wine files. Should I? I'm not interested in moving .dll's over from any of my Windows boxes. What other simple things can I try to get this going? Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] ssh timeout?
My KVM switch is dead so I'm doing a major update of my 2nd Gentoo box via ssh. 3 times now, the process has been interupted by what appears to be time outs. The only message seems to be connection reset by peer. My /var/log/ssh/xxx on that box doesn't show anything of use. Is there a config somewhere where I can set time out? -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Which CD set to get
snip The verbiage about gentoo CD sets includes packages optimized for x platform. My assumption is that this means chiefly the kernel. Is that correct, or are other optimzations also involved? There are other optomizations involved also. The platform specific cd include packages such as gcc which have been compile for the Athlon XP. The kernel its self is not at all optomized and has to be compiled by you. I further assume I could get any of the x86-compatible CD sets and compile optimized kernels for whatever platform (in which case it seems reasonable to get the Athlon XP set). Is this correct as well? For the mixture of machines that you have i would suggest the base cd, and if u wanted to save time could download the platform optimized stages from the internet as needed. I'm an experienced Linux user, but not a kernal compilation whiz, so am looking at what's easiest as compared to what's best. When i switched to gentoo i was also not all that experienced in kernel complation, but you learn really quickly. I would suggest that you make note of your hardware now and check your redhat kernel for its configuration. On a side note you could save your redhat kernel config file and then use it to compile the redhat sources, which are available in portage. Happy switching -Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Any Wine users out there?

Hi,
I emerged Wine-20030813 this morning. The emerge seems to have gone
fine.
There didn't seem to be any Gentoo specific info on how the ebuild
sets it up. I found the .wine directory and took a look at the config
file, understood the fake_windows directory to be the c:\ drive and
downloaded a copy of the WinZip install program there are a test. I then
executed 'wine winzip91.exe' which starts to install WinZip but then
fails. WinZip generates an error file (attached) and of course the
program doesn't run.
I used the WinZip install as a test only since I've used it under
other distributions and it's worked OK in the past. It's not something I
needed.
1) Are there any Gentoo specific Wine resources out there?
2) What other Windows apps can I try to get this installation debugged?
3) I made no modifications to any Wine files. Should I?
I'm not interested in moving .dll's over from any of my Windows boxes.
What other simple things can I try to get this going?
Thanks,

[gentoo-user] RE: [gentoo-dev] Migrating to a commercial PHP-based forums package for forums.gentoo.org
Open Source/GPL , free meaning no $$ needed, or gotta-pay for it, it doesn't matter as long as the tool you're using is the right tool for the job. If you insist on using the wrong tools ONLY because you think it is un-ethical to use non-free software, you should reconsider your priorities. After all, if you had to rent a specific tool (i.e. ball-joint splitter) to work on your car, or use what common tools (i.e. a hammer) you have laying around your house, what would you do ? Another option is to migrate to an alternate forums package. Specifically, vBulletin, which has proven to be quite scalable and effective with larger sites. The main drawback to this is the fact that it is a commercial software package, which tends to raise the ire of some of the more zealous GNU folks out there. So, my question to you is, how would you feel if we were to do this? Horribly offended? Saddened because there isn't a GPL'd program to meet our needs, but pragmatic about the need to do *something*? Or C, none of the above? Basically, the choice comes down to one of two things: 1) Lose some older posts and stay on a GPL-compatible package 2) Move to a commercial solution and keep all the posts. Note that vBulletin *is* open source in that you have access to the source code and can modify it. It's just not Free. Finally, to keep this process somewhat manageably, I ask that you make your responses on the forums. I've also set up a poll there so we can vote on what should be done. I will likely limit my responses to that discussion. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=554174 --kurt -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You also may want to look into lmsensors, it will report sensor readings while in linux. There is still the possibility it could be something else, but since it happened on three different distros under different circumstances, I'm going to lean towards processor overheat.

Because I remember before 1 year one I was using the driver VESA . and I just saw http://www.bityard.com/article.php?sid=443 : It's also worth mentioning that the support for the ATI Radeon chipset, while fairly complete, is also very new (as of XFree 4.20) and not as stable as I'd like. I've seen X crash out for no obvious reason twice in the last week. There are also little drawing glitches now and then. Hopefully all of this will improve as the driver matures.

Re: [gentoo-user] Which CD set to get
On 28 Sep 2003, at 4:32 pm, Jess Anderson wrote: I'm about to make the Big Switch, i.e., from RedHat [1] to Gentoo Linux... Congratulations!!! ...am just now looking for clarification about differences between the various 2-CD sets offered by the store. I haven't used any of these CDs, but looking at what it says: 2-CD set with many pre-built packages... optimized for insert architecture of your choice here. I have only 1 question: who decided that all ( only) the Mac Gentoo CDs would have pictures of girly pink flowers on them..? I have a mix of six machines on my home LAN, including a Pentium Pro, two Pentium IIIs (one a laptop), an Athlon Tbird and two Athlon XPs. All at present run RH 7.2, kept fully up to date. I think the Gentoo Linux 1.4 for i686 set would be best, then. It's optimized for P6-class (Pentium Pro/II, Celeron 266-533MHz, original Athlon) CPUs and all your machines should run those optimisations fine. The verbiage about gentoo CD sets includes packages optimized for x platform. My assumption is that this means chiefly the kernel. Is that correct, or are other optimzations also involved? I would guess that is incorrect. I would guess it means chiefly the packages (applications). If you read the installation guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml you'll see that compiling the kernel is part of the standard Gentoo install. I'm not so familiar with these CDs as the download editions of Gentoo, but the stuff that these CDs are best known for is the pre-compiled binaries of GDE, Knome, OpenOffice c c. These take FAR longer to compile than the kernel does, so I would imagine that it is the former that are optimised, rather than the latter. http://www.freehackers.org/gentoo/gccflags/flag_gcc3.html (and I daresay `man gcc`) hints at the sort of optimisatons that Gentoo / Portage is principally about (alongside optional run-time functionality) when compiling applications. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/7882 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=24849 suggest that little opimisation will take place when compiling the kernel (although there is a section in `make menuconfig` to choose a processor - I don't know what difference it makes). I further assume I could get any of the x86-compatible CD sets and compile optimized kernels for whatever platform (in which case it seems reasonable to get the Athlon XP set). Is this correct as well? Hmmmn... dunno. I would *ass*u*me that the Gentoo installation disks which are merely _optimised_ for AlthlonXPs would allow you to install on a PentiumPro, but I wouldn't bank on it. The 686 disks will certainly allow you to compile ( optimise) for ALL i86 architectures, tho'. I'm an experienced Linux user, but not a kernal compilation whiz, so am looking at what's easiest as compared to what's best. Stage 3 x86 on all machines, optimised CFLAGS USE flags on each one, `make dep make clean bzImage modules modules_install /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot`, don't forget stuff with grub /etc/fstab, reboot then `emerge sync emerge -up world` leave 'em all compiling for a week or so (it saves on heating bills).
