[gentoo-user] Force emerge to rebuild target system

[gentoo-user] partition resizing inside of Gentoo
Hi, After spending a lot of time yesterday in System Commander resizing my partitions, I wished that I had had the time before I started to find out about Linux-based partition resizing tools so that I might have been able to use the system while some of this was going on. I've done no reading yet, but was wondering if there are tools that can both resize and move existing partitions while they are potentially in use? Is this possible, or do I have to drop out of Linux completely while I do this sort of thing? For now, I only use ext2 & ext3, and possibly one of these days reiserfs if possible. That likely makes a bit of difference I'm sure. Thanks for whatever pointers you can provide. Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You might want to look into distcc. Basicly distcc hands of some of the compiling work from one machine to one or more others. The down side is that you need a deecent speed connection between the machines. No using the server at work as a distcc host over a low speed line. The up side is that there are no dependancy problems. You drop it in and go. Read all about it here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml For me, I have a 166Mhz w 80MB thinkpad I'm playing with and distcc didn't help nearly as much as having the server do all the work. Portage does have the ability to build binary packages... that you can then tsfr (rsync,http,ftp) to annother system and merge at a fraction of the load a full build would take. It sounds great but I'm finding alot of gotchas along the way. The upside is speed but the downside is that it's fiddly and you need to know what your doing in portage. An additional downside is there doesn't appear to be alot of doc writen on this subject. Nick -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

THe first three lines need to be changed to reflect the location of the lib and incl's.

Yes it is, but usually not needed fragmentation occurs under linux filesystems only if partitions are close to full. Basically a linux filesystem will self defrag over the time unless partitons are always filled up to the last byte. If you only use up to 75% of you r partition you won't get any fragmentation.

RE: [gentoo-user] Find all installed packages with "-alsa"?
Sure I've used a SQL DB. A file stored in a DB is slower to load than a file on disk. This doesn't speak to indexing and cacheing that a DB might have (not to mention that DBs are usually way better machines than your desktop). Of course, you can apply these techniques to files on disk as well. -Original Message- From: Oliver Lange Van Eps, Nathan D.

Responses for queries within such 'tiny' databases (only 70,000 entries) come within a finger snap. qpkg needs several seconds for a query on a 2 GHz machine. You're right about the problem of choosing the right SQL database to be installed. If i'd suggest to add MySQL or Postgres to gentoo-stage-2, i would no doubt get a million of answers from people who'd call me crazy. Of course it would have to be a *tiny* and *independent* instance of a database which shouldn't conflict with any other installation of the same (or other) database(s) for other purposes. I see that this is kinda problem, but the advantages were great, especially for beginners who could easily learn to handle things, and - as a side effect - learn SQL..

[gentoo-user] correct single sample errors after ripping CDs
Hi, I'm trying to rescue some old CDs that have gone all scratchy. When ripping them with cdparanoia I get several "pop/click/snap", where one single sample is way out of whack. It's simple to fix a few of them manually in a wave editor, but not when there's a lot of them. I've been searching for something that can fix this automagically. Does anyone have a good suggestion?

It shows 'brw-rw 1 root floppy 2 etc'. /dev/fd1 also exists, but I never have more than one floppy. The reference to fstab was to arrange to mount /dev/fd0 on /floppy or /mnt/floppy as the install put nothing at all there. Modprobe does nothing other than give out an error message 'can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.21-gss/modules.dep - no such file or directory'.

[gentoo-user] Howto backup w2k with streamer in Gentoo machine?
Hi, I have two machines here, one workstation that has Windows 2000 Pro installed, and one server that runs Gentoo and has a Streamer. How can I backup the W2K workstation with the streamer in the linux server? I had some ideas, but I am not sure which of them is best. 1. Boot the workstation with the installed Windows, and use smb-network-shares to mount the partitions on the server, backup them with tar there. I guess it will fail because of the files in use. 2. Boot the workstation with linux (knoppix or gentoo bootcd), then mount all partitions (ntfs) and ssh it on the server. tar cv /mnt/ | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "dd of=/dev/nst0" or would that be tar cv /mnt/ | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "tar -f /dev/nst0" 3.

Well, my take from this whole thread is that it's not possible without some
shell hacking.

Thanks in advance.
what about this one?
emerge -evp world | grep '-alsa' | awk '{print $4}'
it doesn't look like a jpeg's bindump.
Is it missing something?
Definitelly this is not the script which gives the proper answer
to given question!
This answers which package will, (but not was - it's a BIG difference)
be emerged without alsa flag ... so if alsa flag is set the output is null,
but there is no reason to say ebuild wasn't emerged without the flag.

U can use "date" + "hwclock -w" commands, but for future it's far
better to setup NTP daemon (emerge ntp), if u are online
or use rdate (emerge rdate) if not.
2) How do I safely put my date 14 years back??? can I just set the date, or will it cause problems? should I try some magic "find" invocation to set every file dated 2017 back to 2003? Do I have to delete/modify certain settings/log files?
Yes, I would recommend find preocedure for different reasons ...
deleting logfiles is not necessary (afaik)
If u'll meet some problems with commands which use wtmp or so
do not delete it, but concatenate ( >/var/log/wtmp ), since
it's much safier.
Let's do this:

[gentoo-user] seeking suggestiong on email software
Hi, I have used evolution for a long time, but actually I want to seek some changes as it was so trouble to getting my mail on one desktop system only. Well, what I'm going to achieve is, using my home server, to receive and store my email from my ISP account, and I can easily setup different desktop system to fetch my mail from the server with out the chance to lost my email and trouble in sync. different mail box in different box... I have read some howtos only, and I think I can use fetchmail to get my mail from isp, stored it on my server. Then I can setup a POP3 server right. And my question is, which pop3 server is better? Also, it seems that there are a few different mail box format is being used (mbox, maildir, etc), right? What should I choice to use? Would you mind give me some sugguestion?? Thanks!

[gentoo-user] oops! my date is 14 years ahead!
I had some clock troubles a few weeks ago when I passed from local to UTC time (somehow my /etc/adjtime was corrupted). I thought I fixed it and used my box happily for a few weeks before realizing that I mixed things up somewhere along the path: date and time are OK, but my box thinks it is running in year... 2017!!! So I have two questions: 1) How do I set the date/time in gentoo? do I have to set the system clock only, and let gentoo sync the hwclock at poweroff, or do I have to run the classical "date xx;hwclock --systohc" sequence? 2) How do I safely put my date 14 years back??? can I just set the date, or will it cause problems? should I try some magic "find" invocation to set every file dated 2017 back to 2003? Do I have to delete/modify certain settings/log files? Thank you for any help. I'm very happy with my gentoo installation now and it would really bother me to mess things up for such a silly mistake... Matthieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] booting from floppy (after install)
Following advice given to me on the 9th, I've been using the Handbook and trying out different approaches. Yesterday, I went right through (using gentoo-sources and genkernel to see how that went). All seemed fine, and I'm sure I have a good basic install to start me off. Unfortunately, I can't boot the install at all. My preferred way is to build a bzDisk, and later put lilo on a floppy. Earlier, when I compiled my own kernel (also from gentoo-sources) and tried to run 'make bzDisk', I got an error 'no target'. I thought this strange but continued to 'make bzImage'. For the final run through with genkernel, there was no choice, but that's no problem - I'll put lilo on a floppy right away. Wrong! I'm told 'no such device' whilst /dev/fd0 exists and this error continues to be so no matter what I put into /etc/fstab. Nowhere in the literature, or the massive forum archives can I find an help. Whilst looking in /dev, I also noticed there were no /cdroms to be seen, but the /etc/fstab has '/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 etc'. That's really confused me, and I feel very stupid as by now this is the type of problem I ought to be able to solve. Can anyone assist me again please. As I have two Debian installations on a large disk, I have had to use hda7 (32M) as /boot and hda8 (6Gig) as /, I don't know if this is of interest. Regards,John. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

No, its not a bad rule, its a Rule of Thumb that came from the kernel and how it behave(d/s) during the 2.4 series. It was an aggressive RAM consumptioner who would happily swap out just about all "somewhat idle" things in order to cache files in RAM, and thereby make actual -work- faster. It would also gladly kill off some pretty large tasks just bcause they were in the way of more memory consumption. .23 changed this, for the better. However, My advice is : make sure you have >512 Mb of RAM total. preferrably >1Gb. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus! Please copy me into your .signature!

Packages that aren't listed in or aren't a dependency of a package in world.
Other than that, it is the simplest solution.
