[gentoo-user] kernel memory leak?
i've been trying to determine where the problem's coming from, not wanting to look at the kernel 'cause well... i don't know how to fix that. but i can't avoid it. my router is a k6-II running gentoo-sources, iptables, sshd and that's it. and here's the output of free: # free total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem: 25992 25492500 0176 3396 -/+ buffers/cache: 21920 4072 Swap: 136544 1684 134860 now i understand that linux likes to use all of my ram, but caches most of it, so the "free" column should be rather low, but 500bytes? and where's all the rest of my ram gone? the box doesn't do anything other than route packets! my fileserver/webserver is showing the same symptoms, though it's running apache, mysql, samba, nfs, sendmail, rsyncd, and sshd. and i can't afford to shut much off, so i can't be sure if it's the kernel in it's case, but here's the output of free on that box: free total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem:256580 252904 3676 0 25148 55208 -/+ buffers/cache: 172548 84032 Swap: 530136 3720 526416 my fileserver has considerably more ram, but nearly all of it is used. the box doesn't even run x, so why all the usage? is this a leak? can i have some suggestions as to how to track it down and fix it? are there common pitfalls a guy can run into when configuring a kernel? any help would be greatly appreciated. -- the trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. - bertrand russell -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] post-install slowness
Over the weekend I reinstalled my web server. Previously it had RedHat8 on it, and due to RedHat declaring end of life on my distro, my server now has Gentoo on it. The install went off without a hitch and this afternoon I proceeded in installing Apache2, mod_php, and MySQL, among other things. The entire box overall is a little bit faster than it used to be, except for MySQL. When I pull a webpage that does any sort of db connection, the page load time is noticable slower than it used to be. When I pull a static page that has no PHP or db code in it, the page flies, almost instantaneous as it's always been previously. I used to run Apche 1.3.x and my MySQL version is nearly the same as it used to be. So Apache2 is the only significant version difference from what I used to run. So before I go to all the trouble of removing Apache2 and emerging Apache1, mod_php, etc., I was wondering if anyone might know what I'm doing wrong or might know something I need to reconfigure to fix the slowness? I'm pretty sure I don't need all those "LoadModule" calls in /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf, but could that seriously be causing the slowness? Also, I think it's worth mentioning I replaced /etc/mysql/my.cnf with my own settings from my old setup: > cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf [mysqld] query_cache_size=8M max_connections=200 datadir=/home/mysql I don't think anything there that would cause slowness and MySQL flies when using the CLI MySQL client. It's only when I pull a webpage that I see the MySQL slowness. I know all the reasons why Apache2 isn't really recommended for use, the thread safeness and all. Is this _my_ issue here? TIA! -- ____ _ ___/ /__ ___ / /_(_)__ ___ __ __ ___ __ _ / _ / -_)_-

[gentoo-user] recommended server dual cpu mb
Hey folks. I had some problems trying to get gentoo onto a supermicro p3tdle board and was hoping for some suggestions of good quality dual p3 (or higher) server class motherboards. Features that would be nice would be ECC ram support (so the 2G I have now doesn't go to waste) and any nice hardware monitoring systems that are supported under linux. Also anyone who has the p3tdle (or similar supermicro board) how are your experiences? I'm not sure if my bad luck was caused by a bad motherboard or some *very* strange incompatibilites with the gentoo livecd kernel with this board (yes I tried with noapic :). Symptoms included: - complete system freeze when mke2fs-ing scsi drives on an AIC7xxx board - only able to run IDE drives off the MB without DMA - hard drives off a pci ide card working fine except... - at the end of a raid5 resync when setting up a raid one of the HDs was kicked out with a DMA error - at the end of *that* resync and the end of the install (setting up grub) grub told me that it couldn't mount the partition, and when checking I discovered that the four IDE drives that were set up for software raid (and had been working fine through the rest of the install) had no partitions on them! Not the nicest thing to find at the end of 8 hours of messing with hardware and doing an install :) So MB recommendations for something that gentoo likes would be awsome, as well as any suggestions as to why I was having the strangness noted above would be awsome.

[gentoo-user] make.conf, IDE, & smp questions
I just finished a stage 1 on a server with 2 P3 CPUs using disk1 of the P3 live CD set. When I got to editing make.conf, the file from the live CD had CHOST set to i486. That seemed odd, but I left it alone. In CFLAGS I set march to pentium3. Are these settings OK? Should I go back and set CHOST to i686? I don't smell any smoke... This machine has a SCSI controller on the motherboard running a disk and a DAT drive, and an IDE controller in a PCI slot running a second disk. Exactly backwards from a standard n86 box. The live CD found both disks (and they're both partitioned and formatted), but my newly installed kernel doesn't see the IDE -- it does see the ATAPI CD ROM drive on the motherboard IDE controller. Anybody know off the top of your head which config flag I haven't set? The new kernel is an smp (there are multiprocessor things in the processes, and /proc/cpuinfo has 2 listed), but while emerging the server software, I noticed that top was showing 50% CPU idle time. Is there a way to get the second CPU in on the party?

First, I would recommend GRUB over LILO any day. But if you don't want to take the time right now to learn about GRUB that's certainly understandable. That said, my next suggestion is to change the BIOS back. Linux should have no trouble booting from the second hard drive, but Windows will not do it. So if you change the BIOS back so it boots off of the first hard drive, then you have to install your LILO boot sector to the MBA on /dev/hda. A possible alternative is to get LILO to fake Windows out. I can't remember off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure there is some way to configure LILO (via lilo.conf) so that when it boots to the second hard drive it somehow makes it look like this hard drive is actually the first hard drive to Windows. There should be discussion of it in the LILO man page. I'd look but I don't even have LILO installed. - richard -- Richard Kilgore [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'm more than a bit surprised by this comment. I've used linux distributions with and without SCSI emulation, and when I didn't have it, I never missed it. For k3b, I'm not sure if it's cdrdao or cdrecord that needs it, but the other doesn't. So you should be good to go even without SCSI.

Re: [gentoo-user] An stupid mistake
You can try this: it helped me when i accidentally unemerged some basic file tools (cp, ls, env, etc). My system was really fu***, and it looked like i would have to do a reinstall, but this saved my butt: just unpack the stage 3 tarball somewhere, or if you use the midnight commander, then just enter it, and copy the missing files from it into their respective directories. And if you're not sure which files they are, then just copy everything... After that you might want to do a emerge sync, emerge world, or just re-emerge some packages, to make portage think that they're installed hope this helps On Sun, 25 Jan 2004 18:59:36 + Paul Stear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun 25 January 2004 16:01, Andrew Gaffney wrote: > > Paul Stear wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > Well I've done it now!!!

Re: [gentoo-user] Substitute for Kdevelop
The best is probably Kylix C++, if you want to develop real fast and big projects then you should buy the pro or enterprise. There is also an OpenEdition for free available, but it will show a little message everytime your created app is run. The cool thing is, if you bought the professional windows delphi version you get kylix pro for free. So you can even develop cross plattform apps which will run on widows and linux. The ide will tell you whenever you use functions or include certains things that run only on the target plattform, therefore you can avoid proting probs right away.

I ran into the same issue with vmware-config.pl. After recompiling the kernel (gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r5), the script worked again like a charm. So, at least in my case, Alan hit the spot right away... I don't exactly know what has happened to my /usr/src/linux directory. However, I have played around with some of the genkernel-3.0.1_beta ebuilds without actually knowing what it does (I discovered it doesn't do what I expected from the previous versions). So maybe I wasn't careful enough there... HTH, Urs -- Urs Joss 4055 Basel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] k3b not finding my drives...
I'm not sure what I can do about this one, so I'm turning back to the mailing list after going all sorts of poking around elsewhere, and trying different things... I'm working wiht a new install, and am still loading the software I want to run for the first time. I've reached the point of installing k3b, and I got most of the kinks worked out. Unfortunately, the one that remains is a killer... k3b serup recognizes both my CD-ROM and the CD-RW/DVD-ROM. So far so good. When I enter k3b proper, both devices are "lost", and the system can't find 'em. If I try to manually add the devices using k3b Config, I'm told that they don't exist, and it can't find anything at /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 or /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 Any thoughts on how to get k3b up and running?

Re: [gentoo-user] bootsplash, help me... [solved]
i would really like to thanks all the great helps the gentoo society gave me. thanks to all the nice people, i finally get the bootsplash working. let me just list mistakes i had made, so that next person may save some time. 1. i enabled both vesa and radeon console driver in kernel configuration, since radeon driver seems slightly faster than vesa when playing movies on framebuffer. however, this caused problem. if i disable radeon driver and leave only vesa driver, bootsplash would work. 2. kernel 2.4.22-gentoo-r5 is already patched, no need to apply the patch. 3. bootsplash kernel module does not take initrd as a filesystem image, so error message will appear in dmesg saying that 'RAMDISK: couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0' any way. and initrd file generated by /sbin/splash is not a valid image. so don't waste time on that like i did. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I installed python manually using ./configure make make install and created a symlink from /usr/local/bin/python to /usr/bin/python and now I get the following error: bash-2.05b# ln -s /usr/local/bin/python /usr/bin/python bash-2.05b# emerge -uvp world Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 14, in ? import portage File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 126, in ? import missingos ImportError: No module named missingos HELP HELP please I just don't know what to do now and am afraid I will further damage my system awaiting your help Paul -- PLEASE NOTE, Only text messages will be downloaded, others will be deleted at the server.

Re: [gentoo-user] Substitute for Kdevelop
Hi, I use all the tool reported in the thread: vim (It's my favourite), emacs, eclipse ... but also source navigator (it is very light and has good cross referencing).

Yes, there can be a lot of kernel upgrades, but I thin most of that is different. When you were trying to get your kernel built and it was failing to compile, this was because of certain modules that wouldn't build right and not because of the kernel. I think that most of the -r2, -r3, -4r type kernel upgrades are fixing odd little module issues and not changing the kernel itself. That's just my guess. I have no data to back this up, but if I'm running gento0-stable successfully and it happens to be 2.4.20-r2, I wouldn't (and didn't) upgrade my kernel until gentoo stable moved to a 2.4.22-rX. At that point I figure the kernel is more advanced. One time I would upgrade from -r2 directly to say -r8 would be if I heard that there was an important security patch that happened or something like that, but in general I don't touch most of the upgrades. In fact, I'm running 2.4.22-r2. I tried 2.4.22-r5 yesterday and got lots of oops problems. SO I just dropped it. > Xine still > goesn't work right, consistently.)

If you install x86 and it works, just use that. For instance, xine-ui stable didn't talk to Alsa. I had to use OSS which I only turn on for my junkie on-board sound chip. I went to ~x86 to get Alsa, specifically so I could send 6 individual sound channels to my RME card and mix them myself. Mostly I just run x86.

Re: [gentoo-user] K3B
Well, actually, if you want to build k3b the normal way eg, ./configure && make && make install, then you don't need doxygen. I had to build k3b "the old fashioned way", because when I tried emerging it i ran into like 50megs of dependencies, all of which was stuff i don't need. So after compilation i just instered a stub, and everything is hunky-dory... P.s. for everyone that is using k3b, i totally recommend upgrading to 0.11.1.

Re: [gentoo-user] xine (audio) and jack
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" before emerge means use the latest, in-testing, package. You should avoid this unless there is some feature in the testing package that you need, or if you are interested in testing. In my experience, most ~x86 packages work well, but not always. That's true, though, of the stable packages as well. As far as I know, there is no ~x386. -- Bill Roberts -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The MD5sums will almost certainly not match now, so portage still won't be
able to use them.
For each ebuild you have source for you'll need to regenerate the digest.

You could recompress them as bzip2

gzip -d $f && bzip2 ${f%.gz} || echo "failed $f"

[gentoo-user] K3B
This isn't a question, but an observation I noted with K3B, and I figure it's worth mentioning here, as I believe it's a bug in the dependancies needed for k3b that should be taken care of when you "emerge k3b". (If so, I'll figure out how the bug tracking system works, so it can be reported, but I want verification first.) For k3b to run correctly, doxygen is required. It's needed for dcop, without it the program doesn't execute properly. I've still got some minor problems with my k3b install (even after patching in doxygen) but I think that's related to my tracking down and fixing the bug. I think a re-emerge k3b will fix it. But, I figured I should get feedback on this part, so I'm commenting now... Krikket -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
