Re: [gentoo-user] OT recover disk after mke2fs -j ?
i had a harddisk go bad and the filesystem got corrupted, but i could still read the drive, so i wrote some programs to search the drive for specific types of files that i needed, such as tar.gz, zip, word docs, etc. the names of many of these files were lost, but the data not. tar will ignore extra data at the end of the archive, zip files have footers, and i think word documents do, too. i've recovered much data this way on e2fs and fat file systems - luckily almost all files weren't fragmented. -dave (this is a generic signature file. to modify it, please edit $HOME/.signature) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] reiserfs corruption likelihood?

Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list The kde build does seem a bit slow, though you are making progress. Yes, if the build is interupted, you can start from where you left off by simply issuing the command emerge kde It will start with the package it was working on when interupted. After you emerged xfree. if you had done startx you probably would have seen an ugly grey screen with an X in the middle that would move with your mouse. This is normal and indicates success. Xfree it self has no window manager and, by itself is pretty much useless. I've never used the precompiled packages so I can't help with why your machine is building everything from source. Perhaps emerge can't find the packages on your harddrive? From man emerge: --usepkg (-k) Tells emerge to use binary packages (from $PKGDIR) if they are available, thus possi- bly avoiding some time-consuming compiles. This option is useful for CD installs; you can export PKGDIR=/mnt/cdrom/packages and then use this option to have emerge pull binary packages from the CD in order to sat- isfy dependencies. --usepkgonly (-K) Behaves just as --usepkg except that this will only emerge binary packages. All the binary packages must be available at the time of dependency calculation or emerge will simply abort. If I were you, I would interupt the build at a point where it has just finished a pachage and restart it using the --usepkgonly (-K) option. If this fails, portage cannot locate the packages and you'll have to look back through the instructions to find where you should have them. At that point you have the choice to either fix the package directory or continue as you have been. The advantage in continuing as you are now is that you will have the latest packages merged and updating will be much quicker. Another glitch I just thought of is that you may not be able to merge precompiled packages at this point as they will conflict with later versions you have built from source. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] djbdns setup questions
I've googled til my fingers bled and all I cna find are how-to describing how I cna set up djbdns to serve a home network (maybe I just didn't know what I was looking at?). Here's what I'm doing. I have registered a domain (we'll call it foobar.com) and I intend on hosting it publicly from my home server, which is running on a cable modem that is fed a business-class service (ie, I pay a little more and they let me run servers from home [Cox Business Service, in case it matters to anyone]). Obviously, to run it from my home box I have to have a nameserver that is authoritative for the server. I asked Cox is they offered a nameserver to their customers just for this purpose. It was a long shot and didn't pan out. They don't. If I intend to run a website from home, I also have to run a dns server from home that will be authoritative for this domain. So I emerged djbdns (chosen because people said it was simpler and more secure than bind). I also ran dnscache-setup and tinydns-setup. This installed the apps to /var (/var/dnscachex and /var/tinydns/ and /var/axfrdns respectively). When I did this, all my home systems stopped being able to resolve names. They all use this one box as a router/gateway, so it stands to reason that when I hosed the dns settings in that one box, they'd all come tunmbling down. Looking in the /etc/resolv.conf file shows that it is pointing to itself as the nameserver (using the external IP, not 127.0.0.1). When I replaced that with the original resolv.conf that points to Cox's dns servers, everything started working again. I changed /etc/resolv.conf to point to 127.0.0.1 to see it that made a difference. It just made the name resolution error out faster (unknown host error when I ping a known domain). I put the nameserver back to the way djbdns set it (pointing to my external IP) and checked the /var/dnscachex/root/servers/@ file. That file contains the 2 Cox dns servers, like I beleive it's supposed to. Basically, I'm swinging in the wind here. I'm a newbie in the dns arena, but willing to read and learn. Still, the install didn't go as transparently as I'd have liked since afterward, I couldn't resolve anything. Note that I can't resolve anything on any box on the nertwork OR on the server itself, so this isn't a persmissions issue, I don't think. I need a how-to guide that talks about doing what I need done. I don't care to use the proxy dns (dnscachex) and only need the content dns (tinydns) to feed the rest of the world my external domain ip. And of course, in the process, I'd like to retain the ability to resolve other domain names. ;-) Any help whatsoever would be appreciated. -Tom Caudron -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

For those of us in North America, you can also go to http://www.idot.com, who sell mini-itx and other small machines. It doesn't look like they have as complete a selection as mini-itx.com, but they can probably get stuff. Although looking at their case descriptions, it becomes obvious that the faster boards need bigger cases (for cooling, I'd say). I think most of these Mini-ITX cases are a win-chip (IE: low-end x86-compatible) processor also a low-end on-board graphics card. I'd have anticipated 1ghz to be adequate, but I seem to have been wrong in my ball-park estimations of processor performance recently! All mini-itx boards use a Via C3 (or equivalent). It's regarded as slower and less powerful, but doesn't require much power or produce much heat. For intensive graphics, such as gaming or playing mpegs, it may not be adequate, but it's certainly sufficient for web browsing and email, and probably also a low-end web server or firewall/router. (I intend to build a router out of one of the CL6000 boards someday.) I would guess its biggest weakness to be floating point operations, and you can even get audio players which don't use floating point. Mini-itx boards also, to accomplish their small size, have everything directly on the motherboard. CPU is directly soldered on. You get one PCI slot, but no guarentee the case will provide for a riser card. Despite the drawbacks, I think it's useful for a lot of things, excluding gaming and other cpu/video-intensive stuff. Still, I think that as computers become faster and faster (and hotter and louder), the trend will be towards small, quiet, and cool-running, with speed becoming less important. -- Marshal Newrock, unemployed Linux user in Lansing, MI Caution: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] evolution --disable-sound
Hi, Before I go join yet another list trying to get this problem solved maybe someone here has a Gentoo specific answer? Thanks in advance. I'm trying to run Evolution without having it collide with other audio apps running on my system. However, if I run Jack (using qjackctl) which grabs all the sound resources, then I cannot start Evolution. The Evolution help screen says that --disable-sound is an option, but it doesn't seem to help. With Jack running, the Evolution splash screen comes up, but Evolution makes no forward progress. As soon as I stop Jack, Evolution immediately comes up, so obviously Jack is blocking. Does anyone know how to completely disable sound in Evolution? Is there possibly some compile time option that I could set if I rebuilt Evolution? Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Missing /dev/sda* entries ???
Hi, I am trying to configure the usb port to be able to download the pictures from my digital camera. I have been looking at the USB Digital Camera HOWTO, but the assumption is that the devices /dev/sda* already exist. I don't have any devices 'sda*' under /dev. I tried the following: 1. I tried to load the module 'sd_mod.o' thinking the driver would create these entries but nothing happened. 2. I recomplied my kernel to directly incorporate the SCSI code within the kernel-- not as a module-- but the entries 'sda*' were still not created. 3. I tried to create manually these devices using mknod, following something i found on the web: mknod --mode=660 /dev/sda b 8 0 mknod --mode=660 /dev/sda1 b 8 1 mknod --mode=660 /dev/sda2 b 8 2 mknod --mode=660 /dev/sda3 b 8 3 mknod --mode=660 /dev/sda4 b 8 4 But when I tried to mount my filesystm using mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera, i got an error saying that the device is not valid. .

[gentoo-user] ATI Radeon 9100 and KT400A
Hello! I have got new PC with ATI Radeon 9100 and Gigabyte's MB based on KT400A. I'd like to get hardware opengl. The very first thing, I have tried is using agpgart and xfree-drm on 2.4 kernel. After some time fscking with it and googling, I have found that agpgart in 2.4 doesn't support version 3 of AGP (or something like this), and it's impossible to tell KT400A to not use this AGP3 with my videocard, and only solution is to use 2.6 kernel. OK. I have emerged developemt-sources (test6 at the moment), compiled them and booted into without any problems. The first problem, I have noticed that there is no DMA (and `hdparm /dev/hda -d 1` can't set it). Blah. OK. Maybe I have missed something when configured kernel, but this is not so important at the moment. Then I have tried `modprobe agpgart` and it was successfull - my radeon was detected correctly. After this I have started `emerge xfree-drm` and it simply failed (it supports nothing but 2.4 and patch for 2.5 is commented in the ebuild and missing in xfree-drm/files). OK. No problem. I made `make menuconfig` again and enabled DRM provided with kernel. After recompiling and rebooting I have inserted all necessary modules and `startx`. OK. X was started without problems. Superb! I started `glxinfo` and simply got segfault (and the same with `glxgears`). I'm wondering if DRM from kernel is suitable for my XFree version (4.3)? Or it's possible to get xfree-drm for 2.6 somewhere? Or I need to boot 2.6 and recompile X (`X -version` shows Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.19-4GB i686 [ELF])? Or something else?

Re: [gentoo-user] ATI Radeon 9100 and KT400A

The very first thing, I have tried is using agpgart and xfree-drm on 2.4 kernel. After some time fscking with it and googling, I have found that agpgart in 2.4 doesn't support version 3 of AGP (or something like this), and it's impossible to tell KT400A to not use this AGP3 with my videocard, and only solution is to use 2.6 kernel. OK. I have emerged developemt-sources (test6 at the moment), compiled them and booted into without any problems. The first problem, I have noticed that there is no DMA (and `hdparm /dev/hda -d 1` can't set it). Blah. OK. Maybe I have missed something when configured kernel, but this is not so important at the moment. Then I have tried `modprobe agpgart` and it was successfull - my radeon was detected correctly. After this I have started `emerge xfree-drm` and it simply failed (it supports nothing but 2.4 and patch for 2.5 is commented in the ebuild and missing in xfree-drm/files). OK. No problem. I made `make menuconfig` again and enabled DRM provided with kernel. After recompiling and rebooting I have inserted all necessary modules and `startx`. OK. X was started without problems. Superb! I started `glxinfo` and simply got segfault (and the same with `glxgears`). I'm wondering if DRM from kernel is suitable for my XFree version (4.3)? Or it's possible to get xfree-drm for 2.6 somewhere? Or I need to boot 2.6 and recompile X (`X -version` shows Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.19-4GB i686 [ELF])? Or something else? I'm here, waiting for suggestions :) PS. Sorry for such looong story and my not perfect english. Best regards, Andrew. Andrew, I've been building my ATI stuff for the Radeon 9000 Pro into the kernel. (on all 2.6 kernels I've tried- works good, and I get 8000+ on the glxgears test. Probably will work on your card too. I have tried ATI drivers, and xfree-drm, but that didn't work as well as the stock kernel version. (I admit though, I don't play any games, so it might not suffice for your needs). Here's my section of the 2.6.0-test8 (and all lower tests also) kernel .config file- This is on an MSI KT3 Ultra 2 (333Mhz). I have better results with building my kernels as user (not in /usr/src as root, and using mm patches from vanilla sources- not Gentoo's emerge type kernels- better control and I always know exactly what is happening.

Re: [gentoo-user] ATI Radeon 9100 and KT400A
Hello! snip This problem was just solved today and isn't even in portage yet. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30541 Will take a look at it right now! Fsck! Need to rebuild X once again :( snip OK. This has solved my problem. Thanks. glxgears gives me about 650 FPS (1152x864 24bpp) default glxears window size. But when I'm totally covering glxgears win with xterm I'm getting 8000 FPS (that's expected :) and when I'm covering only very small part of green gear with xterm, I'm getting about 1500-1600 FPS (and that's strange). Next, when maximizing window to fullscreen, it shows about 72 FPS, but gears SEEMS to rotate much quickly. Can somebody explain me this behaivor?
