I don't think it is SSE related at all.
Try running the following program in gdb:
int main()
{
int abc = 2, bcd = 0;
abc /= bcd;

}
it should give you the very same error.
I am guessing that the _mesa_test_os_sse_exception_support () function is
testing arithmetic/floating point exceptions, but when you run under gdb, gdb
will intercept for example the SIGFPE signal (Floating Point Exception) instead.

Re: [gentoo-user] how NOT to start net.eth0?
Thank you all for your suggestions. However, I still have no idea about what is starting my net.eth0: - cd /etc/init.d grep need net * gives samba, slapd, slurpd, sshd, winbind none of which is started after boot. - cd /etc/init.d grep use net * gives cupsd, rsyncd which aren't started either. - pcmcia is not started - I don't see a line about starting eth0 in the startup sequence BUT... net.eth0 is started after boot. Moreover, if I stop net.eth0, no other service is stopped (I guess that if another service was depending on it, it would also stop, right?) It seems the workaround is to move the script out of the init.d directory. This does work, but I really would like to understand what is happening. I must be missing something, but I just cannot see what. If no service depending directly on net is started and net is not started manually, what could start it? Or could something depend on net whithout the need or use command? Or could it be that the status is reported unaccurately (I mean, reporting started even if it was never really started)?

[gentoo-user] OT: Apache/JK2 configuration issue
Hi all, sorry to bother you with this, but maybe someone's listening and willing to help me: I've emerge Apache2 and Tomcat, and added mod_jk2 as described at http://www.dcdan.com/roller/page/dan/20031110 et al. Then I've added a file 80_mod_jk2.conf to /etc/apaches/conf/modules.d which simply loads the module if JK2 had been defined during startup. It all works pretty much perfect until here. The module gets loaded, JK2 connectors are set up and Tomcat processes *.jsp files which were forwarded by Apache like this: IfModule mod_jk2.c Location /*.jsp JkUriSet worker ajp13:localhost:8009 /Location /IfModule However, there's a folder pictures that I would like Apache to protect it with a password and share it via WebDAV. This it what's in the conf file for it: Alias /webdav /var/www/domain.com/htdocs/pictures Location /webdav Options None DAV On AuthName 'WebDAV' AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /var/www/domain.com/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null Limit GET OPTIONS Require valid-user /Limit /Location Accessing it with WebDAV works as expected, but accessing it using a browser will give me an error message from TOMCAT saying that the ressource isn't available. How come that Tomcat deals with this request anyway, since the URI doesn't contain .jsp? The same error message occurs, when I just remove the JkUriSet statement. So it looks as if JK2/Tomcat will handle requests by itself as soon as it's loaded. Could anybody give me a hint on what's going on here?

Re: [gentoo-user] net.eth0 problems on boot
Le Mardi, 25 Novembre 2003 16.44, Paul Kimberley a écrit :
Hi,
A few days ago my nic stopped working on boot, the problem is the
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 script can't start-up. I get this error!
bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
* Bringing eth0 up...
* eth0 is not plugged in or has no carrier
signal[ !! ]
I can manually run 'dhcpcd eth0' and then it works again!
bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
* Bringing eth0
up...[ ok ]
Anyone have any idea's where to start to debug this? I'm on a LAN so I
shouldn't be getting no carrier signals and the cable IS plugged in!
This is a known bug of baselayout:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33272
the easiest fix until it's fixed is to manually edit net.eth0 and replace
carrier_IFACE=$(ifconfig | gawk -v IFACE=${iface} '/RUNNING/ { if ($1 ==
IFACE) print running }')
with
carrier_IFACE='running'

Re: [gentoo-user] net.eth0 problems on boot
Sorry for replying to my own thread but, I've found where the problem
starts.
Does anyone know where $carrier_IFACE gets set? is it set by the kernel?
I've done a grep of the etc dir, and nothing in there sets this flag...
# Check that the interface has a carrier
if [ ${carrier_IFACE} = running ]
then
/sbin/dhcpcd ${dhcpcd_IFACE} ${IFACE} /dev/null || {

Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo pro audio
You might check the Gentoo site for info on who maintains the build. I know that in the CVS tree there is information on the ebuilds with email addresses. As for changing them I've been doing that myself with Jack and Ardour. In /etc/make.conf enable the local Portage directory (I can't remember the variable name and I'm not at the machines). Then copy the ebuild's directory you want to the local portage, /usr/local/portage on mine, making sure you copy the directory structure (i.e. /usr/local/portage/media-sound/jack-cvs). Get rid of the older ebuilds, then rename the remaining one to something (i.e jack-cvs-0.9.ebuild from jack-cvs-0.8.ebuild). In the ebuilds you will see a variable called myconf which has options put in it such as --enable-stripped-jack. Add any config options you want to this variable. If you want to use a USE variable then put it in IUSE in the ebuild and do the testing on it to set myconf. I modified the jack-cvs ebuilds to get the latest cvs and also to enable capabilities (someone added jack-caps but the ebuild never made it into portage), and correct a problem with jackstart dying on a md5 sum error. Check Gentoo bugzilla for the ebuilds - search under jack, jackstart or my name. If you want more info I would go to the jack mail list and the list of whatever software you use. For Gentoo ebuild help check the Gentoo website docs, then look at existing ebuilds, and finally try your hand at modifying one. To bug about problems - submit good reports on Gentoo's bugzilla. Also, make your own ebuilds and submit them. Also Gentoo would not object to help so you could contact someone and offer to help G.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: djbdns setup questions
Tom Caudron said: It's odd, since t looks like packets are finding their way to the dns to get the info (according to tcpdump on the dns), but they never get it (according to the results of the ping command on the client). I am at a loss as to what I should be looking at next. One question. When I registered the dns with go-daddy.com I just gave it a name (mordor.kungfugamers.com) and told it the ip address. The only reason I gave it a name was because go-daddy insisted. Frankly, an IP was good enough for me. Should I be doing something with that name on the server itself? I mean, it's internal name isn't mordor.kungfugamers.com. If so, what do I do about the fact that I had to register it with 2 names (mordor.kungfugamers.com and shire.kungfugamers.com) because go-daddy demanded multiple authoritative dns's. The internal name doesn't matter. They request the IP of each DNS server for the glue records. Glue records work like this: your DNS client asks where is www.kungfugamers.com. The DNS .com roots respond I don't know, but mordor.kungfugamers.com knows.. So then your client says, OK, so where is mordor.kungfugamers.com?. The .com roots have to know the IP address at that server (and all name servers), otherwise, you'll never find it. Once the client has the IP of the name server, it goes to it for all further DNS requests on that domain. It uses the IP address to perform the query and doesn't care what the server's internal hostname is. I have verified that the glue records are in place and working for both of your name server names, and both point to 68.15.153.133. So the problem isn't at the registry. However, when I query your name server directly with dig @68.15.153.133 www.kungfugamers.com, the request times out.

[gentoo-user] Problem generating kernelmodule for Qlogic 2-Gb Fiberchannel drivers
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, I want to setup a server with GenToo, which has 2 QLA2340 Fiberchannel adapters built in. I downloaded from their website the redhat package http://download.qlogic.com/drivers/14511/qla2x00-v6.06.10-dist.tgz By modifying their Makefile and Config.in I managed to include their modules after some try and error, and compile a kernel with genkernel. Though it works, it's quite unclean, because 2 modules qla2300 and qla2300_conf are needed. Regardless what I do, genkernel only compiles qla2300. I solved it in a way that when genkernel dies when it tries to merge the non-existing qla2300_conf.o, I compile the module manually, copy it to a private location, run genkernel again, and after the make clean step copy it back to the driver-directory, so it can be happily merged. Before I dig into the details of genkernel and Makefiles to make this work cleanly, do I miss possibly an easy standard way to compile 3rd party drivers in ?

[gentoo-user] newbie install bewilderments
If this isn't the appropriate place to ask these questions, what is? I'm trying to install Gentoo on my new computer - P4, Intel D865GBF motherboard, IDE disks. It's time to compile the kernel. The system boots from the hard disk, and root can log in, with a kernel compiled using the default config, but DMA isn't enabled for the disks. The 'Enable IDE DMA if available' config switch is on. Why isn't DMA? Where is the map between NIC cards and module names? I've been told this motherboard is unstable with Linux unless you compile your own kernel. Is that true? What do I need to do in 'genkernel --config' to make it stable? When I run the memtest from the Live CD, it dies in pass2. I tried it with both sticks in, and with both sticks individually - but the huge compiles do just fine with 'top' saying 90% of the RAM is being used. Explanation(s)? How can I run memtest without the Live CD? The x86 install instructions from the website are very well done. Is there a kernel config page? If so, where is it? -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] reiserfs undelete ?
Unix is a what you say is what you get sort of operating system. It is not very forgiving, but I like it that way. It sucks when you type rm -r * in the root directory by accident. I did type it once and learned a very valuable lesson (don't do that). If you are often deleting files by accident, you should look into a solution that moves the files to a temporary folder to be deleted later. I can see this happening if your used to windows or macos, because you can always restore. I think gnome does this on the desktop by default. -Nathan -Original Message- From: Oliver Lange Redeeman wrote: its not a minus, its also a feature, sometimes if i delete data i really want it to disappear!

[gentoo-user] Internal Modem - which tty to use..?
Hi all, I want to use my Linux box for voicemail. I believe this is done using mgetty / vgetty to answer the phone after a few rings, and that it should be possible to get it to play then an audio file of the outgoing message (sorry, I'm not here right now) and record another one for incoming messages. The documentation on vgetty is sparse /or 404ing, but I have installed an internal modem in my machine started following the modem-HOWTO at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Modem-HOWTO.html. In section 2.4 it starts by discussing the IO address and IRQ mentions that a PlugPlay BIOS can do this. I believe that the following output indicates that this has been done successfully: # cat /proc/pci PCI devices found: ... Bus 0, device 13, function 0: Communication controller: Conexant HCF 56k Data/Fax/Voice Modem (rev 8). IRQ 11. Master Capable. Latency=64. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x4210 [0x4210]. I/O at 0x2020 [0x2027]. ... Section 1.9 of the modem-HOWTO then says: For PnP modems: If the BIOS has already set these in the physical device (which a PnP BIOS will do if it thinks you don't have a PnP OS) then you need to determine the IRQ and IO address and then tell this to setserial. Could someone explain how I should do this, please..? The physical serial ports on the motherboard seem to have been allocated correctly at boot up: # dmesg | grep tty ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A But there are no other /dev/ttyS slots available: # ls /dev/ttyS* /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS1 # setserial /dev/ttyS2 /dev/ttyS2: No such file or directory How do I create one, please..?

This comes with the caveat that all build time dependencies must already be emerged on the system. --usepkg (-k) Tells emerge to use binary packages (from $PKGDIR) if they are available, thus possibly avoiding some time-consuming compiles.

If I need to back it up or I am not sure, I mv the damn thing to a designated backup area. This saves time as my computer doesn't have to cp everything to the trash when I delete something.

Re: [gentoo-user] Installing Gentoo on temporary partition.
Tom Eastman wrote: I'm about to install gentoo on a temporary partition on my P4 box. The installation, when done, will be transfered to my pentium 3 and I'll do the final bootloader/misc setup stuff that can only be done on the real box. How do people recommend I transfer the completed gentoo installation to the new computer? I can't just copy the raw partitions because (a) they're not the right size, and (b) they're on an LVM volume. So I need some way of copying over the network that will preserve all the required permissions and stuff... would rsync be the way to go? Or maybe tarring up the whole thing once it's done? What kind of options would I have to provide to ensure that all the permissions/ownerships are set correctly? Can anyone see any other potential tripfalls I haven't thought of? When I built my Pentium-233 system using my Pentium 4 box, I followed the Installation guide using a chroot'ed environment into a file system that had plenty of space. Once I was finished, I used tar/bzip (i.e. tar cvjf ) to archive the resulting system. In my case since the system was in another location, I wrote the file to a CD-ROM. Went to the Pentium 233 system, booted it with a rescue system (Since it was initially running SuSE, I used that) I then repartioned, did a mkfs to make the new file systems, mounted the file systems, and extracted the tar image. At that point, I did a chroot into the new file systems and ran grub to install the bootloader. I then rebooted and everything came up and I rechecked the configuration and fixed the stuff I missed. I estimate that I definitely saved several days by not having to compile on the pentium 233. Regards, Paul -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Basically, for the time being, you'll have to either downgrade gcc to 3.2.x

Just edit the damn /usr/include/asm/byteorder.h header file!

ext2 at least _can_ undelete files. the problem is searching for the specific file to undelete. The quick way: start mc (midnight commander) and in one of the menus you will find Undelete: it will search for deleted files, but they have no names, only inode numbers.. if you know the approximate size of the file, you can sort by size and use F3 to see every file and try to guess the right one..I used that and it worked fine.
