Re: [gentoo-user] Which laptop should I get?
On 2003.10.21 17:02, eric heller wrote: I recently bought a Systemax laptop (www.globalcomputer.com) because I was dissatisfied with most of the major-brand laptops on the market. Nevertheless, even this computer isn't exactly a dream linux machine. A couple of things to consider: a. does the laptop feature intel centrino technology? mine does, but there's no support for the intel minipci wireless card in linux as of yet. also, speedstep for the pentium-m doesn't seem to be supported in the 2.4.2* kernels, although I hear that it is in the 2.6.* series. also, the 2.4.* kernels don't seem to recognize my cpu cache (/proc/cpuinfo reports cache size: 0 KB), although again I hear the 2.6.* kernels do. I haven't tried it yet; I don't know. Been using 2.6 (and 2.5) since the purchase of my gateway notebook. It works great (except test6), give it a whirl if you have the chance. I also had speedstep (intel enhanced speedstep) working when I had tried early 2.4.22_pre releases of ac-sources too (ac has newer acpi patches and stuff, or at least did at the time). The wireless is a writeoff, unfortunately. I wish it worked, as the builtin card has a nice antenna soldered on that (i assume) runs around the unit's base. Excellent signal strength (in another OS) compared to my linksys card I bought. It is also supposed to be much lower power, but I havent really done any comparisons with the linksys card in windows (and I dont think a centrino on windows, linksys on linux is a valid comparison... for what it's worth, with the cpu clocked to 600mhz, my battery life is slightly better in linux). If i get time/money and dont want to void my warranty by opening the minipci access door on my laptop (theres a part of that I dont understand), I'm going to see if I can get my hands on a cisco airo minipci card, and connect the antenna leads. , integrated wireless. b. other acpi support, which can be dependent on your bios. call technical support as ask them about this. will your laptop be able to sleep and wake up, suspend, hibernate? mine does, but I could never get this to work on my old Dell laptop. If you are buying a new laptop without ACPI support, theres something wrong. :) c. video card. i know lots of people report problems with ATI mobility cards, so you may have to resort to framebuffer if you can't get a driver to add hardware acceleration. perhaps i'm lucky, my ATI card seems to be working fine with X at the moment. The main problem at the moment is the Radeon IGP (aka radeon mobility, note no number). I've got a radeon 7500 mobility and it works great with dri. Radeon IGP also kinda works now (theres development), but you have to add that driver yourself (i believe it is patches to the current radeon driver, so it should be fairly easy to throw into an ebuild for X). I would look at the laptops made by some of the smaller brands, youu'll likely find a cheaper machine that works just about as well as any other laptop out there as far as linux support goes. It depends whats most important to you. I chose a cheap, light notebook that has slight linux compatibility problems, but I knew this going into it, and I don't regret anything. Whatever works for you. other laptop users, what did i leave out? I think you hit the nail on the head with whatever works for you. I could drone on all day about what I think is important in a laptop, and somebody else could do the same and have entirely different points. I dont even use suspend or hibernate states, but to some this is needed and very important. Although, I do reccommend more than a 30 gig drive if you are going to have multiple operating systems installed. I've found that I've pretty much filled my 30G (split down the middle for windows xp and gentoo).

Re: [gentoo-user] changing module search order for Perl and mod_perl
Doug Weimer wrote: On Tue, 2003-10-21 at 10:01, Andrew Gaffney wrote: I believe the recent problems getting mod_perl to work correctly I've been having are due to the module search order. CGI.pm that comes with Perl 5.8.1 is in /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1 while the CGI.pm installed by CGI-3.0 that is required by mod_perl-1.99.09 is installed in /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1. I believe Perl is finding the original CGI.pm file first which is causing the Apache.pm not found errors that a few people have been reporting. Now, to my actual question: how do you change the module directory search order for Perl and mod_perl? You can modify the @INC used by mod_perl through /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/apache2-mod_perl-startup.pl . Add a 'use lib' line similar to the one already present in the file. I'm not sure what version of perl you are using, but the CGI.pm module included in dev-lang/perl-5.8.1-r1 appears to be identical to the one included in dev-perl/CGI-3.00. This particular system has perl-5.8.0-r12. It is primarily an ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86 system. I manually installed mod_perl-1.99.09 to use with Apache 2.0.47. I was able to workaround this problem by renaming /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CGI.pm to CGI.pm.bak. I will keep your suggestion in mind if I ever need it, though.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo and ACPI
Hi, I just got gentoo installed on a Compaq Presario 714ea notebook. Well, I knew that this wasn't the best laptop I could buy for a Linux installation (Mobile Duron 1ghz, 128 mb ram, etc.), but I got it at a very good price. So... It's my 4th or 5th gentoo installation. Everything went straight forward. It still took a whole night to compile things from stage3 (using GRP until emerge sync!, then compiling, computer got realy hot!). You could ask why I did emerge sync? Well, because my desktop is not quite common. I'm using XFCE-4 ! So I did emerge sync, then emerge xfce4. Everything went ok. I got to sleep and woke up this morning and installed Mozilla, XMMS, etc. But, still, I have a problem with ACPI. It doesn't work (or doesn't seem to work). Does someone has some experience about ACPI with Gentoo? Please tell me how I can do to check my batteries (the panel plugin xfce4-battery always crash). Put the computer into sleep? Thanks. BTW.

Re: [gentoo-user] Sound problem
I would seriously suggest going to the Gentoo website (www.gentoo.org) and reading all the documentation, then check out the forums (forums.gentoo.org) and read the frequently asked questions. As a general rule you don't download any sources, or compile anything manually. That is all handled by emerge, the only package(s) that require manual compilation are the kernel ebuilds. To get sound working just follow the instructions in the Gentoo Linux ALSA Guide, it provides all the steps needed to get sound working. Do NOT download patches/sources etc, that defeats the whole purpose of Gentoo. -- Andrew Heberle My life is a soap opera, but who has the rights? -- MadameX Stephen Liu wrote: Hi Robert, Thanks for your detail advice and link.

Well, I have a pavillion ze4125 and gentoo works very nicely on it and I have had it for over a year now and haven't had a single problem with the thing so I can't complain. However, if I bought a new one today I would get a IBM Thinkpad. Those things are built like tanks and Linux usually works without a hitch on them.

If you're on a big net (I'm on a university net) and have no power over the gateway or DNS servers, maybe you just have to wait and it will work out. If you have your own private net, and this machine is on this net, then check your own gateway and see if your iptables -t nat shows the masquerading option. (Have my own little private net, and when my gateway didn't have the masquerading in then I got the same kind of errors you get). So good luck. Thanks for everyone's help. As it turns out... The problem was resolved by bring up a browser, and going to http://www.jedsoft.org, following the links to the slang download which turns out to be at : ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slang/v1.4/slang-1.4.9.tar.bz2 So, it was just a case of the ebuild needed to have an updated SRC_URI.

[gentoo-user] keyboard layout files disappeared

[gentoo-user] no fullscreen with mplayer
I have the following mplayer merged on my system: mplayer --version MPlayer 0.92-3.2.3 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices (Family: 6, Stepping: 0) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE It's got some issues doing fullscreen. If I simply do a mplayer somefile.mpg the video will play fine in a small window. If I hit f (to switch to fullscreen), the video will completely disappear. However, other than not being displayed, it seems that mplayer thinks the video is still running (as the status info in the terminal will be updating). Plus, I can hit f again, and return the video to the visible windowed state. On the other hand, if I start mplayer using mplayer -fs somefile.mpg, then the video will again start in a small window. But this window is actually like a portal that only lets me see a smaller part of the whole video (i.e. it seems to be fullscreened, but I can only see a small square of that). If I hit f, the video will completely disappear, but mplayer is still running (as described above). If I press f a third time, the video will now be shown correctly in fullscreen mode. I tried recompiling mplayer with more conservative CFLAGS (O2 instead of O3), but that didn't help. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Any ideas on what might be wrong?

[gentoo-user] Re: Nautilus sound preview
Thanks for your prompt reply. The problem has partly solved now. I can mouseover to preview sound files now but when I changed to View as Audio mode and click on play buttons, the error message /dev/dsp in use still pops up. In order to get this function works, I still have to disable system sound. :( Although, I can play sound files with xmms or other like applications, but I just want to make full use of nautilus. BTW, why I can't get esdsink work with gstreamer? I have merged esound already. Thanks again.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo on Powerbooks
I have been lusting after a G4 powerbook recently and since they are currently $500 reduced for education buyers in the UK now might be a good time. I still have some generalised and gentoo specific concerns about it though, namely How well does the PPC install of Gentoo work? Is it pretty slick? How many of the Gentoo packages work well on PPC? Does the lack of a second and third mouse key make X (esp c/p and fluxbox menus) a real pain? (Cant really add a mouse in a convenient fashion to a powerbook.)

Sorry for me dropping in, I'm just a perl geek, who does everything in perl,
I'd do it this way:
perl -e 'while(!$i){print Hallo; `sleep 2`;}'
This would print Hallo every two seconds on your screen, replace print
Hallo with your command for example `wget -c` and replace the 2 with the
time you want.
