[gentoo-user] Weird kppp error annoyance
About one-third of the time when I try to connect with kppp (randomly), I get the error box 1-2 times where it says "The pppd daemon died unexpectedly! Exit status 19. I then click "details," and it gives this message. Cannot open any of the following logfiles: /var/log/syslog.ppp /var/log/syslog /var/log/messages Then the next attempt to connect proceeds normally, with no problems. I'm wondering why this occurs only sometimes. man pppd says error 19 is "We failed to authenticate ourselves to the peer." That's understandable, but doesn't seem to be related to logfiles not being opened. It's not really a big problem, but I'd just as soon understand why this is happening, and not have to make 1-2 extra attempts to connect if there's a setting I have wrong, and fixing it would eliminate this minor annoyance. H. Come to think of it, this also occurs with my Mandrake box (but not as often), so it must be isp and/or generic linux related, and not distro or hardware dependent.

I was contimplating a partition scheme and I would like some advice.

Has anyone compared JFS to ext3? I'm leaning more towards JFS, since I read it does have faster read time. I would make this as my root partition. I'm trying to get a system that is flexible for future upgrades(the large /var for the /var/tmp dir) and general use. I also want to be able to squeeze as much speed out of this as I can; thats why I'm using ReiserFS in the /var and /usr/portage. Any comments and suggestions are welcome. I want to get something set up once, I dont want to go back and have to resize partitions. Thats why I'm overestimating the size of my partitions, to allow room for future storage.

[gentoo-user] No sound with bttv from kernel 2.6
Hello. I have a PixelView PlayTV Pro PV-BT878P+ Rev. 8E installed in my system, which runs the kernel gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.0. The soundcard is a C-Media CM8738, driven by Alsa. The TV card works perfectly, but without sound. With the kernel gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r8 it does have no problems with audio. I have noticed that with the 2.4.20 kernel, no tvaudio module is loaded (so I assume it is not needed). Would something changed with the new kernel and I have missed it? Any clues?

Sope throw checksum errors on the disk, so that a standard cd player won't notice (doesnt check, time is more important than accuracy), but cd-roms, which verify data read (accuracy is more important than time) fail. Radiohead's 'hail to the theif' cd works like this. I can play some of it using xmms' cdread plugin, but I end up having to revert to analog cd playing to actually listen to the disc. Now, one possible way to rip it is to not use the digital ripping of the disc, instead recording the cd-audio channel while playing (shouldnt be affected by volume settings methinks). Also, ripping the cd (probably at a low speed) without error checking and then have a nice, proper .iso. You could burn this for future cd use, or you could see if grip can rip from an .iso image. -- Chris I [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: www.cidesign.ca/~chris/ When a Banker jumps out of a window, jump after him--that's where the money is. -- Robespierre signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

[gentoo-user] ReiserFSCK woes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Well, I'm writing this email from my older machine right now, which has a Pentium II 333MHz processor, 60 GB hard drive, etc. The scheme of my partitioning is quite simple: /dev/hda1 = boot (ext3) /dev/hda2 = swap /dev/hda3 = root (reiserFS) My brand new computer follows the same scheme, except for the hardware: AMD Athlon XP Thoroughbred 2700+, 40 GB hard drive, etc. now I've already installed gentoo on this computer, and I had a few kinks but overall it ran quite nicely. I've had a bit of a more major problem on my new one, though... I was able to genkernel, but it died in the middle of startup (I did the "init=" fix that the mailing list suggested to compensate for the incorrect installation instructions) and dropped me a BusyBox in the middle of my initrd. I tried screwing genkernel and going for the gold (make bzImage modules etc...) and it worked fine... for one startup. in the middle of said session (I actually started up the XServer a few times) the computer locked up. no three-finger-salute could save me, so I hit the reset button. Crap, it shoots me an error about not being able to find tools like "ls" and "awk" and drops into the login, but of course everything's broken. I decide to take out the trusty-rusty LiveCD and give reiserFSck a whirl, since it might have experienced some trouble during the mysterious lockup. I reiserfsck three different ways until I figure out I need to --rebuild-tree. SHOOP entire filesystem goes into /lost+found. What is a boy to do?

Just don't blame us when it goes wrong :) :-)) I understand this. Gentoo try to allow people to configure it as much as possible, this is Gentoo's philosophy! :-) I just try to point to another thing which may be configurable - PAM support - and which now can't be configured in legal/supported way because it's in 'system' list. Also I think what there is probably too much 'system' packages (comparing to LinuxFromScratch), and maybe it will be nice to exclude some packages from 'system' list to make Gentoo much more configurable. Some other software which may be removed from 'system' is: 1) gawk - there is a lot of different 'awk' realizations which user may want instead of gawk (I prefer 'mawk') 2) sysklogd - for example, I prefer 'multilog t /var/log/kernel

The server that hosted the gentoo mailing lists had some problems and was taken offline, therefor you didn't receive mails for 5 days. Now, there is a new server online for the lists, and I think they took a backup of the list-subscriptions to get it running. That might explain why you've got resubscribed.

As result, I do not hear the sound from my IM program (in fact, a number of aplay process are waiting in background until XMMS is finished). So, when I stop playing XMMS, it takes around 2-3 minutes to listen to all those sounds which were waiting for several hours.

[gentoo-user] 'system' packages list; svscan & inittab
Hi! I've used for about 2.5 years my own linux distribution based on ideas from LinuxFromScratch, so I'm not a newbie in this area. At this time I'm interested in Gentoo because I've no more time to support my own distribution. I want to compile and configure Gentoo in the way I use for my distribution, and I've some question related to this: 1. Why there is so many packages in 'system' list? Why not make 'system' list much smaller (like in LinuxFromScratch)? Is there exists documentation which describe reason to include all these packages in 'system' list? Here is one small example: I don't need and don't like PAM. But 'pam' and 'pam-login' is in 'system' list, so I can't compile Gentoo without PAM... 2. My distribution uses a lot of DJB's software like daemontools, qmail, djbdns... And I've installed in way recommended by DJB, i.e. "svscan" was executed from /etc/inittab (it's 100% reliable because if it died by some reason then "/sbin/init" process will restart it, so all my daemons guarantied to work while "/sbin/init" process exists and they don't depend on any bash scripts and /var/run/*.pid files). Is there exists a way in Gentoo to execute "svscan" from /etc/inittab instead of /etc/init.d/svscan and execute all other daemons under svscan/supervise control (instead of under /etc/init.d/* bash scripts plus /var/run/*.pid files control which is less reliable)? -- WBR, Alex. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I used Easy CD Creator, which just ignored all copy protection on the CDs and ripped them happily to proper WAV files (not talking about the WMA crap included on many of these CDs). This may be because of a different drive, but may also be software related, I don't know. I try to avoid all CD products that are sold in a damaged state. Try different drives or try to rip them on an XP install, if that's possible for you.
