[gentoo-user] Nokia D211
Hi, Nokia provides Linux drivers for the D211 data card but only mentions RedHat without referring to a kernel version. Does anybody use a D211 card under Gentoo? If so, are there some limitations? I'm esp. interested in GPRS, but WLAN may be important as well. Regards, Frank -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] System crash
Just a thought, but you said it was a compaq laptop. I have a compaq laptop of a similar vintage, and it uses the ATI IGP Radeon chipset. I haven't updated it for a while, but I got a lot of random system freezes caused by the IGP south/north (can't remember which one is which, i'm not that techie) not being supported by the kernel. It does it's best, but fails occasionally and apparently at random (random crashes never are random, they just appear that way). That is on 2.4.X series kernels. There may be support for it now though. -Original Message- From: Chris I [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 September 2003 02:16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] System crash On 2003.09.28 18:42, Norbert Kamenicky wrote: SMS WebMaster wrote: BTW: can the problem become from my video card (ATI Radeon 7500) (Driver: radeon) ?

[gentoo-user] Installing Gentoo / 2.6.0 Kernel / Hyperthreading / Stuff
Hi all, I've finally decided to retire my venerable P3-500 in favour of a fancy brand new P4 Hyperthreading CPU, along with a new case, motherboard, memory, video card, all the bells and whistles. Now, I'm not new to Gentoo... But since I've only ever needed to install it once (because it *just* *worked*), 18 months ago, I have to approach the installation process as a newbie once again. What I *am* new to is all the newfangled stuff that comes on motherboards these days :-) Things like ACPI, APIC, and hyperthreading are all new and scary areas to me. Especially after all the APIC problems I had while installing Mandrake 9.1 on my friends computer a few months ago. My old computer has run rock-steady using the 2.6test series of kernels ever since they came out. I want to use this straight away on my new computer since I figure it'll have the best chance handling the new hardware. So here are some questions. This is what I can come up with so far as kind of a checklist of things I need to know before the computer arrives. If anyone can help me out or point me in the direction of useful resources on these issues I would very much appreciate it! 1. During the installation process when it comes time to set up the kernel can I simply tell it to install development-sources? Will Gentoo balk at me? Is genkernel safe with 2.6.0? Is genkernel safe at all? I've never used it. 2. I've used XFS with no problems for over 18 months, but because of the horror stories I've been hearing about it I think I might switch back to good ol' ReiserFS. But ReiserFS4 is in the works or something like that... Question: If I use reiserfs from the development kernel, will I have anything weird happen to be because of different versions of userspace reiserfs tools? Is there any caveats I need to know about ReiserFS in 2.4 Vs. ReiserFS in 2.6? 3. What's the deal with Hyperthreading? Am I going to need to set up an SMP kernel? Is there anything else that is important to know about configuring a Hyperthreading CPU? 4. What's the deal with the sse2 on the P4? I vaguely remember on the mailing lists there was something bad going on with either sse2 or -march=pentium4 and some version of gcc... Question: Will it be safe for me to specify -march=pentium4 in my CFLAGS? 5. What's the deal with ACPI/APIC? These caused me no end of hassles setting up my friends Mandrake Box. She was using (SiS???) chipset and we had to add 'noapic' just to get it to boot. And the machine is kinda flaky. I'm buying a Soltek Motherboard with onboard LAN and an intel chipset. I figured I'd probably have better luck with the intel chipset than SiS. Can anyone tell me if there's anything important I need to do to try and keep all this new technology happy and smiling? I figure 2.6.0 would have the best APIC/ACPI support, which is another reason I'm keen on using it on the new box as well as the old. (jeez, ACPI... APIC... do you suppose the next new technologies are going to be PICA and CAIP? They need new letters to stuff into their acronyms!) Thanks for any help you can give me :-) I can't wait to finally have a 'modern' computer again. Tom -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Thomas Eastman [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: 3. What's the deal with Hyperthreading? Am I going to need to set up an SMP kernel? Is there anything else that is important to know about configuring a Hyperthreading CPU? For the software, a HT CPU is equivalent to two CPUs: It has two machine contexts, that means two decoders and two register files. As the Pentium4 has a very long pipeline, mispredicted jumps stall the whole unit for a long period. When this happens, a HT P4 simply executes the instructions on the other thread, while a non-HT P4 wouldn't do anything (except refilling the pipeline). 4. What's the deal with the sse2 on the P4? I vaguely remember on the mailing lists there was something bad going on with either sse2 or -march=pentium4 and some version of gcc... Question: Will it be safe for me to specify -march=pentium4 in my CFLAGS? gcc doesn't use SIMD instructions (except in very rare cases), because it is hard for a compiler to use them. Additionally, gcc doesn't generate much faster (just bigger) code when compiling with -march=..., if it does generate different code at all. There is usually no significiant performance gain with it. I'd suggest to use -march=i386 and -Os (equal to -O2 with all optimizations increasing code size disabled).

Not quite so, as it will not utilize anything save jumps. Jumps won't
generate much heat in any CPU, altough ps will show 100% CPU usage. If
you really want to test for heat, install GIMPS Mersenne client from
www.mersenne.org (no Gentoo package available). You can set the client
for system benchmarking only, if you're not interested in joining the
prime searching project.
Note that some errors, like memory errors, can take a long time to be
noticed. Leave the client running for at least a week to see if your
memory is OK. GIMPS can detect memory errors which are unnoticed by
memtest86 binary.

Re: [gentoo-user] can't log into gdm with non-root user
Hi Andrew, This happened to me before; likely, there will be files like .ICEauthority in your home directory which are owned by root rather than yourself. Change the ownership back to yourself and you should be good to log in. cheers, MARKUS On Sat, 27 Sep 2003, a park wrote: i managed to setup gdm so that it appears when i fire up my desktop, but it will not allow me to login to it with another user other than root. it is not an authentication problem. it gives me the the session lasted less than ten seconds... error message. is there a place to set permissions for non-root users to use gdm / x. btw, i added the name of the machine (in this case flanker) to the /etc/hosts as (127.0.0.1) because i use dhcp. andrew _ High-speed Internet access as low as $29.95/month (depending on the local service providers in your area).

Re: [gentoo-user] Kbd and mouse hang

I agree Bjorn Sodergren wrote: 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.

Re: [gentoo-user] wireless configuration howto?
Chris: humm... if you send us a %lsmod it's going to help a lot! I've made a lot of progress. I can get the wireless connection to work as long a I do everything manually. So far I have not been able to find any config files in gentoo to set things like the ESSID, WEP, etc. If I use the net.eth1 script to bring up the wireless, it does something that screws it up, but if I just do: ifconfig eth1 up dhcpcd eth1 it works fine. So my question now is how to correctly automate the startup and be able to deal with different WAP's, as well as easily switching from wired to wireless. From what I've been able to determine, I think I'll have to write my own scripts for this, but any pointers would be appreciated. I've read about netenv, but it is a boot time change. What I want is to be able to use the 100baseT wire when I'm sitting at my desk, but be able to pull the wire and walk away with it switching to wireless without missing a beat.

On a side note, it is usually not a good idea to have the firewall and the services you want to run all on the same machine. Makes it inherently a more insecure setup. If you can, keep the firewall physically separated from the rest of the services. You'll have greater security that way.

The only thing I can't do right now is get Gimp to bring up a print command selection. So printing is working for the most part. Just not from the Gimp. I'm just not given a selection to print directly from the Gimp. Does this sound familar to anyone. I've looked on the forum, I've looked at linuxprinting.org and I'm continuing to search google. Seems like it would be something that someone has run into before. I find that most of the questions or issues that I run into are fairly simple. Its just a matter of finding the info. This seems to be a whole new talent in its self. Heh..

I'm not positive but if memory serves, I added cups to my use variables and remerged gimp, gimp-print, foomatic and ghostscript. After that and then restarting cupsd, the print option was there in gimp the next time I started it. I seem to remember a reboot at that time too, though restarting cupsd should do it. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Printing in the Gimp?
Hey Peter, I'm remerging gimp-print rightnow. Did you use foomatic-configure. If so, are you able to load more than one driver or not? Which drivers are you using rightnow. Your Manufacture drivers or gimp-print-ijs Thanks, JBanks --- Peter Ruskin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 30 Sep 2003 00:57, Peter Ruskin wrote: I didn't follow any guide ...

[gentoo-user] /sbin/runscript - what does it do?
I was looking over how the Gentoo init system works and was wondering what the purpose of /sbin/runscript is? It's an executable referenced from the runscripts, but it seems that most of the legwork is in /sbin/runscript.sh. What, then, is the purpose of this executable? Does it just pass control off to /sbin/runscript.sh? Where can one find the source for this program? Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Which drivers are you using rightnow. Your Manufacture drivers or gimp-print-ijs From net-print, I have cups, foomatic, foomatic-db, foomatic-db-engine, foomatic-filters, hpijs and xp. Of course I have ghostscript as well. To configure, I use the CUPS WWW admin tool (mozilla http://localhost:631/). The driver I use is 'HP DeskJet 845C, Foomatic + hpijs'. I think I got the ppd driver from linuxprinting or whatever they're called months ago. What annoys me is that I have had printing set up fine for years now. I have printed from Gimp before. On one of my `emerge world`s it must have got messed up. The order of emerging these things matters, I think.

Re: [gentoo-user] GCC 3.3.1-r4??? A winner?
I don't know if my problems are compiler related. Two things that don't compile for me are licq, patch, dvipdfm (using sys-devel/gcc-3.3.1-r4).
