[gentoo-user] Gnome/Mozilla install problem
Hi, I tried to install Gnome using: emerge -k gnome I was connected to the internet so packages were being downloaded if not on my PC. Everything seemed to be going fine but after a considerable amount of time the install seemed to failwith the following error mesages: You need mozilla-1.4+ compiled against gtk+-2 export USE="gtk2": emerge mozilla -P !!! Error:net-www/epiphany-1.0 failed !!! Function pkg-setup, line 42, exit code 0 !!! Need Mozilla compiled with gtk+-2.0!! Can anyone tell me how to fix the problem, and do I have to compile Gnome again from scratch? Or can I continue from where I left off? If so how? Many thanks, Alan

The problem is that Gnome's webbrowser, Epiphany, requires mozilla to be built with gtk2. As you see in the message, you need to run : export USE=gtk2 emerge mozilla After that its just to continue with emerge -k gnome again, and it will resume where it left off. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!

[gentoo-user] Gnus problems
Hi all, I've just switched from debian to gentoo in order to have better
performance and
more colorful shell (:P), my problem now is very simple. I can't manage
to have gnus working
properly.
It keeps saying that vercingetorix.caesar.org (local NNTP server) or
localhost is unable to open.
To use it I changed /etc/xinetd.d/leafnode-nntp into this:
service nntp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= news
server = /usr/sbin/leafnode
disable = no
}
And my xinetd.conf is the default one.
Another problem I have is how to download group list, I can't find the
command string to do so. fetchnews -vv doesn't seem to work properly.
Watching my logs I get this:
Oct 28 08:16:09 [leafnode] config: create_all_links=0 found in section
of server news.cis.dfn.de, please move it in front of any server declaration
Oct 28 08:16:09 [leafnode] config: filterfile=/etc/leafnode/filters

Works great- I get 8000+ FPS @16bit 1024x768 with these cards. Here's a really good way for a basic trial, that I posted on the Gentoo forums.. Robert Crawford --- -- I've been downloading from kernel.org, and getting mm patches for each 2.6 version, with excellent results. Here's my method, for 2.4 or 2.6 kernels. I never compile as root in /usr/src anymore.

Works for me every time, with no problems whatsoever. I've had mixed results with genkernel, and any Gentoo kernels, so I've settled on the above method of choice.

Re: [gentoo-user] cups and windows clients
CUPS uses IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) so if you want to use the printer from another system, that system should have support for this protocol.

[gentoo-user] Prelink question

Does prelinking speed up the rest of the app after startup? I have a Pentium 100 server here that handles my mail, mysql, apache2, firewall, nat, etc. Basicly a small internet gatway so my family can use my internet connection.

Re: [gentoo-user] Radeon 9000 problem
Your score on glxgears also would depend on you cpu and motherboard. My 8000+ score is on an MSI KT3 Ultra 2, and an AMD 1700Mhz Thoroughbred B cpu, with 512MB pc2700 ram. Scores also vary according to how large the glxgears window is, or if it's behind a console screen. My Radeon 9000 Pro cards are also the actual built by ATI type, with 3.3ns ram, Other Genric powered by ATI built by other companies generally have slower ram. This means they get the chipset from ATI, but then substitute lower quality ram, and may slightly alter the design, to save manufacturing costs. There is a performance difference, and a lot of people get fooled, and don't get the real thing. My point about the 2.6 kernels was that it's just easier to get 3d working, plus you get all the other advances that 2.4 versions lack.

Then there's no need to mess with ATI drivers or DRM- it's all already supported. Most comments I've read say the stock ATI 2.6 support is just as good as any of the ATI attempts at Linux drivers. Works great- I get 8000+ FPS @16bit 1024x768 with these cards. Here's a really good way for a basic trial, that I posted on the Gentoo forums.. Robert Crawford - -- -- I've been downloading from kernel.org, and getting mm patches for each 2.6 version, with excellent results. Here's my method, for 2.4 or 2.6 kernels. I never compile as root in /usr/src anymore. I made a /home/wrc/kernel directory, and untar there, then cd as user to the linux-2.6.0-testx directory, and do a normal: Optional:apply mm patch (or others I might wish to try) make mrproper make xconfig (optional- after xconfig edit Makefile cflags and console output for 2.6, they have compile output silent by default. I'll post my edits if anyone wishes) make clean make bzImage make modules THEN SU TO ROOT make modules_install mount /boot cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/linux-2.6.0-testx-mmx (I use no System.map, or initrd) Edit grub with nano -w /boot/grub/grub.conf (or kde superuser filemanager) and add your new kernel stanza to grub.conf, then reboot to new kernel. Works for me every time, with no problems whatsoever. I've had mixed results with genkernel, and any Gentoo kernels, so I've settled on the above method of choice. I do however, run very lean systems, and others might need support for scsi, drivers, etc that I don't use. But for the basics, this works very well. - -- -- HERE'S MY GRAPHICS .CONFIG SECTION- Only change to your motherboard, if not a VIA chipset: CONFIG_AGP=y # CONFIG_AGP_ALI is not set # CONFIG_AGP_ATI is not set # CONFIG_AGP_AMD is not set # CONFIG_AGP_AMD64 is not set # CONFIG_AGP_INTEL is not set # CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA is not set # CONFIG_AGP_SIS is not set # CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS is not set CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y CONFIG_DRM=y # CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set # CONFIG_DRM_GAMMA is not set # CONFIG_DRM_R128 is not set CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y # CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set # CONFIG_DRM_SIS is not set # CONFIG_MWAVE is not set # CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER is not set # CONFIG_HANGCHECK_TIMER is not set - (The FB stuff is Optional- not fully developed yet- can cause problems) CONFIG_FB=y # CONFIG_FB_CYBER2000 is not set # CONFIG_FB_IMSTT is not set # CONFIG_FB_VGA16 is not set CONFIG_FB_VESA=y # CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT is not set # CONFIG_FB_HGA is not set # CONFIG_FB_RIVA is not set # CONFIG_FB_MATROX is not set CONFIG_FB_RADEON=y # CONFIG_FB_ATY128 is not set # CONFIG_FB_ATY is not set # CONFIG_FB_SIS is not set # CONFIG_FB_NEOMAGIC is not set #

You might have a dust buildup on your fans and other componets. Open the case, and try some canned air to clean it out. Air flow is pretty important for good cooling.

RE: [gentoo-user] an idea
Well, I snipped too much of the original post, so I don't know exactly which kernel was being used now. Anyway, from the page you reference, there is a gentoo-sources kernel and a gs-sources kernel. === gentoo-sources For most users, the recommended kernel sources are the gentoo-sources. The gentoo-sources package contains specially tuned performance kernel patches designed to optimize tasks such as compiling while listening to music and browsing the web. Most of you who are new to Gentoo have probably never run a system where you are regularly compiling many packages from source while you are doing your normal everyday tasks on your computer. You may find that if you use the vanilla-sources (the official kernel sources released from http://www.kernel.org) normal tasks -- such as listening to music, moving your mouse and the like -- may appear jumpy when you are compiling packages. The gentoo-sources contain an updated ACPI subsystem and are based on Con Kolivas' high-performance kernel patches (ck-sources). We also support grSecurity (a set of security-related patches with support for ACLs), EVMS(2) (a highly flexible storage management filesystem with easy partition resizing), JFS (IBM's high-performance filesystem), the latest NTFS drivers, and more. Because the gentoo-sources are targeted at full performance, they are also very good for gaming purposes. === gs-sources For users to whom desktop interactive performance comes as a secondary priority to reliability and hardware support, we have the gs-sources. GS stands for Gentoo Stable (creative, aren't we?). This patch set is tuned and tested to provide the best support for the latest hardware and ensures that your mission critical servers will be up when you need them. This kernel doesn't have some of the most aggressive performance tuning patches from the gentoo-sources, but rest assured, the great performance that you know and love from the vanilla kernels are alive and well. Where possible and without compromising stability we add server related performance patches. This kernel provides support for the latest ACPI subsystem, EVMS, ECC (required for HA Linux systems), Encrypted Loopback devices, NTFS, Win4Lin and XFS. It also contains updates for IDE, ext3 and several network cards amongst other patches. In other words, these sources are perfect for servers and High-Availability systems. === Now *I* need to double-check which kernel I'm using !! :-) Looking at this page, http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/pkgs/sys-kernel/index.xml, I know I'm using a 2.4.23_pre kernel, so it appears I've got the 'gs-sources'. Oh well, as it mentions, hardware support is improved. Since I couldn't get my USB2 (nForce2 motherboard) to work reliably with any earlier ones, I'll stick with it.

RE: [gentoo-user] Gentoo box hung - how to debug?
Are you sure you don't have a temperature problem. It's hard (impossible) to prove a negative like this, but it's a good point. It has been a bit warmer the last couple of days here in California. I run with both my CPU and power supply fans turned down as slow as they can go, to reduce noise when doing audio recording. Certainly heat could be part of the problem. However, this machine made it through the summer in the same configuration and didn't have trouble. As Robert Crawford suggested in another email it could be dust build up on the air slots which creates extra heat. Not running setiathome would certainly reduce processor loading, but it's not an option. I didn't get into the top .1% of all the SetiAtHome users by not running the program! ;-) Well, not quite top 0.1% anymore. I'm down to having done more than 99.899% of the other users, but over 20,000 work units completed in 4 1/2 years. All that done on regular PCs.

RE: [gentoo-user] an idea
I've only been using Gentoo for a few weeks. I've tried different kernels in that time and have been happily using gs-sources. It's the newest available, I think. Anyway, in these three weeks, I started with pre6 and less than a week ago, a pre7 became available. While researching my last post, I see that pre8 is now available. So, again if one wants a stable kernel, or one that doesn't get updated weekly or so, one probably should stick to the vanilla-sources. It certainly doesn't hurt to read the CHANGELOG on newly released kernels either. I do, and if there's nothing listed that I'm having issues with, I do NOT upgrade. My Debian box, which I compile the kernel myself vs using a Debian package is using 2.4.18 I think... GASP !. My Mandrake box is using an even older one. Heh, I can't recall ever updating that machine since installing whatever version of Mandrake is on it. And . it works. As for me using such a new kernel, again, I read the CHANGELOG and it listed lots of USB fixes, updates, etc. I was having USB-related problems before and with the new kernel, I don't.

[gentoo-user] .maildir ver mbox
I have been using mbox since my early redhat days.. I had been seeing people talk about .maildir and was thinking about trying it out.. After installing all my normal apps (postfix, procmail, imap, pine). I have all of them reading my inbox, but that's it. I found an article written by Spider that says that folders are .Folder (for example) in the $HOME/.maildir. ex $HOME/.maildir/.Folder. Procmail writes the (new,tmp,cur) directories in the folder its suppose to, but pine, nor mutt (just to see if pine wasn't working right) was reading my folders.. Pine seems to work with my inbox, as I said before, but wants my folders in $HOME/mail in the normal mbox fashion... I can't figure out what mutt is doing, but that's probably because I never used it before. It see's my inbox as well, but didn't see my folders.. I hit c and then ?, and it didn't show me any of my folders.. I am starting to think maybe the way I am doing my folders is the problem... imap isn't working right either, but I have not messed with it yet as I am trying to figure out this problem first.

You can make the binaries even smaller by using -Os which is -O2 with a few other flags.

I don't understand why you'd want this. It's certainly not what you want
to happen by default. My .xsession is a symbolic link to my .xinitrc,
which runs a couple of programs (bbrun, bbpager, bbkeys) and then starts
blackbox.
If I chose to run kde from {g,k}dm then why would I want to run these
before starting kde? (Actually, I tried to test this setup and kde
didn't even start when I exited blackbox.)
If you've got X settings in .xsession you want loaded in KDE (or
something else) I would suggest adding them directly to the appropriate
/etc/X11/Sessions/ file.

Re: [gentoo-user] Perl Guru's? Having isssues recompiling perl
How about showing us the diff? - Original Message - From: Paul Varner [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 26, 2003 11:49 PM Subject: [gentoo-user] Perl Guru's? Having isssues recompiling perl [Also sent to the gentoo-dev mailing list] Are there any perl guru's on this list? I having problems recompiling perl on my Gentoo box and I'm trying to determine what the problem is and how to fix it. Basically, I decided to recompile the software on my box to use the -O2 optimization flag instead of -O3. However, whenever I do an 'emerge =dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12', the compiling process ends up crashing my system. I have narrowed it down to the 'make test' portion of the process and the test that is crashing the box is lib/Config. When perl runs that test it appears to go into an infinite loop allocating memory, eventually the box runs out of swap space and the kernel starts killing off processes and I end up having to reboot the box. As as test I temporarily created a 2 gig swap file and the emerge still ran out of memory. I tried changing my cflags back to the original setiing and I still get the same results. By running the test manually from the /var/tmp/portage/perl*/work directory, I have determined that the test doesn't like the Config.pm file that was configured. If I copy over my existing Config.pm and run the test manually it works, but if I use the one created during the configure and compile process, I get the problem listed above. A diff of the two Config.pm files doesn't show anything that jumps out at me. I have google'd high and low and I can't find anything with somebody having a similar issue I'm hesitant to create a bug in bugzilla at this time as I don't have any other information to determine problem. So if there is anyone that has any pointers on where to start debugging further, I would highly appreciate it. I can supply copies of the Config.pm files on request. This one is really bugging me as there should be no reason for perl to compile successfully at install and then fail to compile properly on the same box.

[gentoo-user] 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 and Adaptec 2940
Are there any known problems with Athlon XP kernels and a plain old
Adaptec 2940? I have one driving a slide scanner and a CD-ROM, and it
fails to initialise.
After successful POST, and the Adaptec screen identifies the devices
hanging off the chain, the init procedure gets knocked for a loop. It
gets stuck producing messages like:
host 1 abort timed out - bus is being reset
(scsi:0:-1:-1) Disconnected list inconsistency ...
Yikes! There is a loop in the free list ...
and this goes on and on, bumping the pid up by one as it goes.
It worked fine under Redhat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.20-20.7). I'm a little
suspicious that the card might be borked, as Knoppix 3.2 didn't pick up
any devices on the chain.
I tried setting acpi=no in the kernel parms, but that didn't help. I
haven't yet tried to restart under RH7.3; that would involve a bit of
hard-drive shuffling.
Ideas, suggestions, replacement cards welcomed.
thanks,
Stewart

I set up agpgart and wrote in the glx and dri stuff but I still get the same errors that the Radeon drivers can't be found. What should I do? _ Cheer a special someone with a fun Halloween eCard from American Greetings!

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge fails with error.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I had problems with installing OpenOffice.org too. Check the forum and the mail archives for some suggestions. Essentially what I did was remove the old version of OpenOffice first. Then, when realizing I did not have enough disk space (you will need at least 4 gigs for OpenOffice to compile), I went and deleted files that portage used to compile programs. After that, I had no problems installing OpenOffice.

[gentoo-user] gs-sources 2.2.3preXXX _r8 freezes
Has anybody noticed that the latest gs-sources (stable) seems to freeze under load? In particular, it seems to freeze when multiple ssh sessions are connected. It has happened to me twice this afternoon alone. Nothing at all is logged. Anyway ... off to build wolk-4.9. Tom Veldhouse
Re: [gentoo-user] 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 and Adaptec 2940
I had the same problem with gentoo-sources. Went back to generic sources. On Tue, 2003-10-28 at 20:35, Stewart C. Russell wrote: Are there any known problems with Athlon XP kernels and a plain old Adaptec 2940? I have one driving a slide scanner and a CD-ROM, and it fails to initialise. After successful POST, and the Adaptec screen identifies the devices hanging off the chain, the init procedure gets knocked for a loop. It gets stuck producing messages like: host 1 abort timed out - bus is being reset (scsi:0:-1:-1) Disconnected list inconsistency ... Yikes! There is a loop in the free list ... and this goes on and on, bumping the pid up by one as it goes. It worked fine under Redhat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.20-20.7). I'm a little suspicious that the card might be borked, as Knoppix 3.2 didn't pick up any devices on the chain. I tried setting acpi=no in the kernel parms, but that didn't help. I haven't yet tried to restart under RH7.3; that would involve a bit of hard-drive shuffling. Ideas, suggestions, replacement cards welcomed. thanks, Stewart -- Lincoln A.
