[gentoo-user] g77 and g++ compilers

[Valmor de Almeida]

Is there a reason for g77 be installed in

/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2/g77

and not in say /usr/bin/g77 ?

Also why  g++ in 

/usr/bin/g++

is different from 

/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2/g++ ?

I wonder whether this is particular for my installation.

Thanks for any info.

I've experienced this problem too. Check if antialiasing is
enabled. Sometimes, when I turned antialiasing on through
fluxbox menu, in the next session it returned to the previous state. So
try to edit '~/.fluxbox/init' file instead of enabling antialias through
fluxbox menu.

Re: [gentoo-user] Mozilla freezing [fixed]

[Neil Rachynski]

Found an answer for this in #mozilla at irc.mozilla.org. Turn off "find 
as you type". Apparently it's an old bug and got a lot of flack for even 
asking this (as well as for using *nix) in that channel. Oh well, kind 
of hard to search for a bug when you can't type in your browser.

You need to be running ntpd. It will learn your clock drift and correct for it

Here is my /etc/ntpd.conf file. Of course, you'll have to change the addresses

The last report I saw (probably a year ago) said that DVD-R played in more of
the set top dvd players than any of the other formats. It depends heavily on
how old the players are. The newer they are, the more formats they support.
The RW formats are less likely to be supported in a consumer player than the R
formats.

This is horrible alphabet soup stuff. I don't really understand it.

This is NOT a recommendation. I just got a Lite-On DVDRW LDW-411S from
NewEgg.com. It ran about $125. I haven't written any disks yet as I'm
just learning how to use this stuff under Linux, but it plays DVD movies

Thanks for clearing that up (to you too, Ian).  I've temporarily solved

[gentoo-user] DVD burner and Linux

[Andrew Gaffney]

I'm thinking of buying a DVD burner (for data backup, of course). I'm looking for one that 
is compatible with Linux, although, I assume they are just like CD-RW drives in that respect.

I'm confused about which one of the umpteen different types of DVD recordable/rewritable 
media/drives are the most compatible with existing drives and DVD players. I think its 
something like DVD-++--+--+R++-W+ ;)

Can anyone recommend a decent drive that would retail for <=$150 and is compatible with 
everything else? IDE interface is a must as I don't have SCSI.

Also, has anyone heard anything about when those nifty new dual-layer burners that can 
burn both layers of a DVD up to 9GB will be commercially available and how much they will 
run for?

I had the same problem. Downgrading nvidia-kernel to 1.0.5336 did the
trick for me. I think the problem is that the code that the new version
of the driver requires code that is in the 2.6.2 kernel.

there's no need to add this to the main tree.  one of the really great things

I had the same problem today, with the same kernel.  It turns out those 
missing symbols are because of the kernel version - there's a patch to add in 
some code so you can recompile, but I recommend upgrading to a newer kernel.  
(I used love-sources, but don't tell the devs or they may lynch me)  You 
could also use an older version of nvidia-kernel, I believe, but it wouldn't 
emerge properly for me anymore.

Here's the patch, in case you want it:
http://r3pek.homelinux.org/sysfs-class_simple-2.6.1.patch
After installing your new kernel/patch, recompile nvidia-kernel (5336-r1) and 
you should be good to go.  At least, it worked for me.

This was very helpful. Thanks for the pointers, both to this site, and
to CloneCD. After doing some reading at this site and Googling around a
bit, I eventually learned about a number of programs - CloneCD, Alcohol
120% and Blindwrite being the most popular. Apparently CloneCD is not
being developed much any more, and the Alcohol 120% site is very active,
so I gave it a try. After burning 2 coasters while learnnin to use the
program (and making it much more difficult than it had to be!) I got a
good copy in about 10 minutes of using the program correctly.

One very useful site is here

http://www.makeabackup.com/modules.php?name=Game_Protections_List

which give a good list of exactly what protection specific games are
using. Armed with this info you then know how to run Alcohol 120% using
its default settings and things jsut work.

Very true I found out. Luckily all of mine have the capability to burn
subchannel data correctly, or appear to.

Again, thanks very much. While I wish I could do this in Linux, and
possibly will find I can one of these days, it's great to have this
working right now.

Cheers,

[gentoo-user] 2.6 + nvidia problems

[N. Owen Gunden]

Hello-

ARCH = ~x86
kernel = gentoo-sources-2.6.1-r1
linux-headers = 2.6.0
nptl-enabled
quirk = have tried using udev and switched back to devfs because of problems

Ever since I introduced the aforementioned quirk I haven't been able to
probe in my nvidia module.  Attempting to do so results in:

# modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia
(/lib/modules/2.6.1-gentoo-r1/video/nvidia.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

# dmesg | tail -6

nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
nvidia: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_add
nvidia: Unknown symbol class_simple_destroy
nvidia: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_remove
nvidia: Unknown symbol class_simple_create

Some google searching indicates that these symbols have something to do
with sysfs, which I suppose is related to udev (but I'm not sure).  I've
tried re-emerging nvidia-kernel.  Any ideas?

Aha! I had fiddled with removing vcron and adding vixie-cron but didn't
think of just deleting vcron :)

vixie-cron replaced vcron in /etc/init.d. You need to

rc-update del vcron
rc-update add vixie-cron default

and then you can safely remove /etc/init.d/vcron

[gentoo-user] Strange vcron/vixie-cron stuffs...

[Matt Wilson]

Hey,

I've been using vcron for ... well, ever and just recently moved to ~x86
(which is running fine 'cept those nVidia drivers!). Anyway, every time
I merge anything or update I get this message;

 * Caching service dependencies...
 *  Service 'vixie-cron' already provide 'cron'!;
 *  Not adding service 'vcron'...   [ ok ]

Which, while it doesn't affect me at all (ie. the system seems fine),
got me wondering what the heck was going on with it... If I do rc-update
-s, I get;

$ rc-update -s

   vcron |  default  
  vixie-cron |   

Suggesting that 'vcron' is being started rather than vixie-cron, which
has confused me even further as the above message(s) suggests that it's
vixie-cron that's active and not vcron...

As I say, it's not effecting my system, cron is still handling it's jobs
etc, it just seemed a little confusing.

If I do it's the first time Collins... ;-)

Actually, I do know a bit that's related anyway. Just because a piece of
code is included in the kernel doesn't mean that it is only updated with
the release of the kernel. The 1394 stack has been included with the
kernel for a couple of years now, but I change that one all the time on
my own. In that case I just take the drivers/ieee1394 directory and blow
it away, and then replace it with the ieee1394 directory I get from
doing a CVS download of the latest 1394 code. Painless, and it works
because the 1394 code all resides in one directory. It's easy.

So, when Alsa does an update, and you can get it from CVS, then you need
to insert it into the kernel tree you are running and recompile the
kernel. Technically it's no different, but unfortunately, it's more
difficult. The placement of all of this code is still a mystery,
partially because it is spread around, and partially because there are
other, older OSS things still in there to confuse us.

So, I want to bring down the Alsa code and build it in. It shoudl work.

Another thread today on a different audio list stated that the user did
a kernel build, but chose to not use any of the Alsa that was in the
kernel. (make menuconfig and just unselect everything except sound.)

Then he did 

./configure
make 
make install

on the Alsa CVS code and he got new Alsa with a 2.6.2 kernel.

My question is how to handle the other parts of Alsa, like OSS?

Thanks,
Mark

The ALSA drivers seem to be changing rapidly right now, so running a
module rather than compiling in the kernel can help if you are
looking for a particular version of a driver.

I haven't looked in the last week or so, but Portage has been
keeping very up-to-date on the drivers, at least if you look in the
~x86 builds. I don't know how much you'll gain by going with the
CVS. 

You can inject packages using emerge, but I'm not sure I understand
the point. You can download, compile and install as you would
conventionally, and you don't have to inject or "register" with Portage. But
you may run into issues, because Gentoo may do things a little
differently.

Good Luck!!

2.6 sources PROVIDE virtual/alsa, so you'll probably have to 
edit /var/cache/edb/virtuals
Unless the alsa-driver ebuild has some other method to prevent you from 
installing while running a 2.6 kernel, go for it.

You mention alsa from cvs, if that means you'll be building it manually, 
ignore what I just said and just go for it.
As you'll be working outside of portage, what portage does or does not know 
about isn't relevant.

In fairness to the ebuild developers, there is probably not (yet) a
standard way to do this.  Check with the alsa developers to see if they
have devised a way to make patches from their latest CVS available to
merge into the kernel tree for roll your own alsa support.  You're on
the cutting edge, and most of us don't need anything more that what is
currently released, so don't expect anyone to stand on their hands to
deliver what is essentially a one-off requirement.  Volunteer to the
alsa group to help them develop what you need; then supply some ebuilds
via bugzilla.

Bill,
   I think you've hit on the problem, at least with my limited knowledge
of portage. I need to run the complete CVS set from the Alsa site. I
really cannot mix the emerge for alsa-oss with the HDSP driver from CVS.
It will just end up causing more problems than it's worth.

   Is there some way that I can effect the portage database though?
Like:

emerge -i alsa-driver alsa-oss 

to make portage think everything has been installed via emerge when I've
really done it by hand? The man page would suggest this is the use.

If so, do I attach some sort of version number to the inject, like 

emerge -i =media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.5

to trick it into leaving things alone?

Just not clear...

QUESTION - When will the Alsa emerges understand that we need to update
Alsa INTO the kernel source code tree so that we can match a new Alsa
with the version of the kernel we are running?

Thanks,
Mark

I'm not quite sure what you are driving at.  There is no "building
alsa on the side" with the 2.6 kernels.  That is done as a part of the
kernel configuration and compile.

Maybe you know something I don't?

You can either compile ALSA into the kernel or as a module with
2.6.1. I compiled it into the kernel and it works fine.

According to tappas at #alsa, compiling it as a module gives more
flexibility and makes it easier to troubleshoot.

I believe you will need to emerge alsa-utils to get the
/etc/modules.d/alsa file which you will need to config. You need to
load the module, of course.

development-sources-2.6.2. Everything works great in my case (or, to answer 
your question: nothing doesn't work=). 

Well, guess my hardware is pretty standard:
* Intel 815 board, Celeron2 1200MHz (kernel compiled w/PentiumIII as CPU-type)
* GeForce2 MX 400, using nvidia binary drivers (1.0-5336, using kernel 
agpgart). OpenGL performance increased notably from 2.4/nvidia-1.0-4496. 
(glxgears from ~900FPS to ~1000FPS, just a quick test, window at standard 
size, of course. Think this is pretty OK considering the hardware.) 
* USB mouse worked nicely
* Two audio cards: ens1371 and i810_audio (I use OSS because I'm lazy and have 
no need for ALSA). Works perfectly.
* VESA console framebuffer works.
* Keyboard with NOrwegian setup works both in console and X (heard something 
about  problems with the 2.6 non-US keyboard support, but have not noticed 
any in 2.6.2)
* IDE controller (intel PIIX) works nicely w/DMA enabled for all connected 
devices (UDMA-100)
* CD burning with ide-scsi works.

Upgrading didn't require any dramatic system changes, nor any re-compiles of 
installed packages. I am a very happy user of a snappy new 2.6 kernel on my 
desktop machine. Guess this is another "use-2.6" message.

One thing worth noting:
You should enable the devpts pseudo file system in the 2.6-kernel series 
(gentoo-install guide recommends to turn it off for 2.4-kernels). Without it 
I was unable to open terminals in X/KDE (konsole, xterm, ...).


OT-PS. Don't use gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r5 if you use EXT3 as file system.   
(some EXT3 bug(s), triggered by portage in perl-installs/upgrades, file 
system gets corrupted (not destroyed)).

Answers:

On this machine, route displays the following:

192.168.0.0 *   255.255.255.0   U 0  00
eth0 
loopbacklocalhost   255.0.0.0   UG0  0 
  0 lo 
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG0  0   
0 eth0

On the problem machine, the default is missing from the display.


No, I haven't screwed around with bringing up dhcp and eth0 manually,
since the gentoo bootscripts have always done that properly in the past.

I'm in the midst of emerging things X-related right now, so I'll check
further at the next opportunity to reboot and/or screw around with
things.

Perhaps you could take a look at the options for DHCP. There might be
one that is either blocking acquiring the correct route information or
one that could disable getting the route via DHCP so that you could set
up the route as above.

[gentoo-user] 2.6.1/2 and Alsa Question

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   If I emerge a 2.6.1 kernel, but then compile it with sound support but do
NOT enable any Alsa options, will emerge believe I have Alsa installed?

   I NEED to upgrade Alsa and run with 2.6.1. I caught a post on a different
list where someone said they did this on a non-Gentoo system. It would seem
to me that portage/emerge doesn't keep track of what options I enable in the
kernel, so as long as I build Alsa on the side using the newest CVS and run
it with my non-Alsa Gentoo 2.6.1 kernel it should work.

   Does anyone see any problems?

   Do I need to emerge anything else to make this work?

Thanks in advance,
Mark

When using DHCP, you shouldn't have to set the default gateway (either 
using route, or in /etc/conf.d/net).

Are you invoking dhcpcd using -d (so that debug info is sent to syslog)? 
What do the logs say?

What is the output of route? (before you manually add the default route).

True, but I've got that commented out because I am using dhcp.  The

That worked, but I got the message 'No network device autodetected'.

Two network-devices are available. A SiS 900 and a 3Com (3c905c-TX) 
card.
I searched for the drivers as described in the gentoo-installation 
instruction, but
loading them leads to the same result -> kernel panic.
'modprobe sis900'
'modprobe 3c59x'

('modprobe ieee1394' for the firewire worked fine)

Not knowing how to resolve the problem I continued without
having the network configured..
I untared stage1, the portage-snapshot and the source-code from the 
livecd, did
everything necessary as described in the documentation handbook, but 
when it
comes to the bootstrap-part problem No 2 arises.


Which kernel sources did you choose? I also got a kernel panic 
booting from the gentoo-sources kernel (2.4.22). I switched to a 
"vanilla" 2.4.24 instead, and it works fine. I never had a boot-up 
kernel panic with a vanilla kernel, there must be something wrong 
with the patched version.


2.4.21
Sorry, I didn't quite get that "boot from CD" part! :-}

Yes, but is it an "official" vanilla kernel, e.g. as available from 
www.kernel.org? Unfortunately, it seems the patched gentoo version has 
some reliability problems, though I don't know what version is actually 
included with the Gentoo LiveCD.

If it's a bad kernel, maybe try booting Knoppix instead. Then, if you 
have broadband internet access, you can install from Knoppix (just 
follow the instructions in the manual), and use your system at that time 
already (I haven't used Knoppix yet, but I guess you can just create a 
home directory on the computer's HD for personal files and settings).

I also have ideas for installing from Knoppix with packages taken from 
the Gentoo CDs, but this would be getting too complicated right now 
since you probably have broadband access and that's why you need to get 
the network card running early anyway!

How did you switch? The live-cd that I downloaded 
(pentium4-1.4-20030911-cd1.iso 
) 

a few days ago provides a 2.4.21 kernel and a 2.4.20 smp kernel, so I 
actually had no
choice because I have a single processor-machine.
I was installing from SuSE and had a "vanilla" 2.4.24 lying around, 
which I installed manually (only after the rest of the system was 
already finished, including KDE, so I could boot right into a system 
with a working GUI). When doing this, you have to be careful to install 
the kernel modules, the kernel and lilo into the right directories rsp. 
onto the right partitions (e.g. the right /lib/modules, the right /boot 
and lilo using the right config file, by default /etc/lilo.conf, but 
under chroot!). It's probably best to do that all in the chrooted 
environment, everything else is too easy to mess up.

[gentoo-user] missing default route

[Collins Richey]

I'm putting up a ~x86 system with nptl and kernel 2.6.2 on my lab rat
computer.  Everything is going swimmingly thus far, but when rebooting
after emerge -e system, I had to add a default route before any dns
inquiries would work.

I've never had to do this before.  Any clues?

I'm using dhcp, and eth0 comes up ok, but there is no default, so I have
to manually issue 'route add default gw 192.168.0.1' before I can
access the net.

That's correct.  You get an I/O error when it hits the end of the disk.
If you mount the .iso on loopback, you'll see it's complete.
readcd (which I think comes with cdrtools) also does a similar thing.
   

That's really interesting. Can you explain 'mounting on loopback'? What
is that? I only have one Linux book (Linux in a Nutshell) and it doesn't
have loopback in the index.
 

It allows you to mount a file system from a file (it loops accesses to 
this nested file system back into VFS,
hence the name). As already pointed out, you need kernel support and the 
"-o loop" option to mount. For
example, you can mount an ISO image resting on a hard disk-based FS to 
one directory, and then mount a ROMFS image
off the mounted ISO FS to another directory. I actually tried this, it 
really works!

You just have to unmount in the reverse order of mounting these nested 
file systems (otherwise umount will simply tell you that
the file system is still in use).

OK, let's back up to square 1.  What version of the LiveCD?  There are a
couple of versions at .../experimental/x86/livecd/  ( ... is any
gentoo http or ftp mirror) theat you could try.

Also, do you have or could someone burn a copy of a Knoppix CD for you?

Or do you have any other bootable CD linux that you could use to run the
gentoo install?

because for the things that has already been explained. Progress bars do not 
give any good information. Take a look at a Windows install for example:

20 minutes later:

remain 10 minutes...


*But* if Windows showed the actual steps instead of a progress bar, after a

Re: [gentoo-user] Running gentoo inside VMWare

I'm working at my Gentoo box and the beginning of the job was already
done at VMWare.
I used Gentoo boot cd 1.4 and it detected the network drive as pcnet32
like Alan tells u already. Also detected my soundcard, the only thing is
that my soundcard is a es1370 but has auto detected like es1371. I
did'nt tested if sound works, but if had loaded I guess so.
You don't need to download vmnware driver for X since this is disponible
at Kernel 2.6.1 (the one I'm using)...
So I only can work in vmware just before bootstrap stage, ... I get
anything like 3 to 5 crashes when trying to compile gcc and other stuffs
of bootstrap. 
I was using the true partitions of my disk instead of use a virtual
disk, so I really don't know if the crashes are because of Windows 2000
are installed in the same disk (another partitions curse), or by any
other problem, so I finished this process with Gentoo CD and Knoppix
with chroot.
In other hand, I used to install Win98 and Windows 2000 into VMWare on
Linux but in this one I used virtual disk, and this work very fine,
including graphics and sound

Well, that's it.

Might be.
run "ldd   /usr/bin/python" and see. usually it will look for libstdc++
which is part of gcc. the fact that its missing from your system is
alarming.

look inside :

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/libstdc++.so.5

of course, the gcc version (here 3.3.2)  will probably be different.  
as the CHOST ( 686-pc-linux-gnu ) might be.

if other versions of libstdc++ is in that dir, make a symlink. if not,
ouch.

if you have unmerged gcc, you're in trouble. Grab a binary gcc
(http://chinstrap.alternating.net has one grp set, or the old 1.4 grp's,
or the stage2 or 3 tarballs)  and copy to your system, then rebuild gcc.


Nothing is impossible to fix, some things hurt a bit though.

I'm not sure how much of this translates over from your own hardware,
but I never had any problems just using the defaults.  For graphics

It does but it's hidden.  I think you have to go through the 'add new
hardware' vmware wizard and then hit the advanced button, and in there
it gives you a choice of scsi or ide.

Download the tarball from vmware, it's got a file called something like
vmware_drv.o (or something like that).  Put this in
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ with the other drivers and then for the
graphics driver in the XF86Config use "vmware".  IE:

The rest of X can be configured with any number of tools out there.  The
best way these days is to boot up on a LiveCD (knoppix, mandrakemove,
etc) and just copy the X config from there.  Heck, some of them even
provide a GUI for doing just this!

If not that, use reasonable defaults.  The only real variables in this
file is your mouse, video card, and monitor, and your mouse and monitor
are whatever are physically in front of you.  Until you put the vmware
driver in you can use the Standard VGA option for your video card.

You should be able to connect to a pipe or socket or something.  I don't
have any experience in this though..

I wish I *knew* how the interfaces are numbered, but if you keep the drivers 
as modules (or 1 of), you can force the order.
i.e. compile the 3x59x into the kernel, and the eepro100 as a module. The 
kernel will have support for the 3com during boot assigning it eth0, loading 
eepro100 later will give it eth1.

Alternatively, leave both drivers as modules, and in /etc/modules.d/aliases 
add:
alias eth0 3c59x
alias eth1 eepro100

Once you've 'update-modules''d, don't try to automatically load the modules, 
as when something tries to access either eth0 or eth1 the module will 
automatically be loaded.

Re: [gentoo-user] kernel 2.6.1 development-sources iptables

[Claudinei Matos]

Ok,

that's my mistake about put IP tables built-in kernel instead of module.
So I try again putting "IP tables suppport" like module like you can see
below, but I still can't load iptables but now I can load ip_tables. Is
this the same one??
[*] Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains)  -->  IP: Netfilter
Configuration  --> 
<*> IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)
   limit match support
   IP range match support
I also tryed to use these optbions below like modules but I'm not
allowed to change this to module, so I also tryed to deactivate these
options but in the same way I can't load iptables module.
Is this options below part of iptables too? or it's just for router? I'm
really confused about iptables support in this kernel 'cause it's so
differente of the 2.6.0 version.
Device Drivers ->
  Networking support ->
Networking Options ->
[*] IP: advanced router
[*]   IP: policy routing
[*] IP: use netfilter MARK value as routing key
[*] IP: fast network address translation
[*]   IP: equal cost multipath
[*]   IP: use TOS value as routing key
[*]   IP: verbose route monitoring


Tks in advice,

Well, there are tons of Apache mailist lists at:
http://httpd.apache.org/lists.html

The user support mailing list would probably be appropriate.  I'd help you
but I don't use SSI ever, well I can try.

First off, do you have mod_include setup correctly?  Including the AddType,
AddOutputFilter and Options setup correctly in any directories?  

Check http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_include.html for information
on Mod_include and  perhaps http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/ssi.html
for more information on SSI.

The page is a mockup for a web site idea for just that. A large
financial services company. American General Finance issues loans (at
high interest rates) to people. There is no point of trying to steal
passwords because they have no web accounts at the moment. That is the

[gentoo-user] how are the eth's created

[Valmor de Almeida]

The result from lspci on my laptop shows two
ethernet interfaces. One is on the port replicator,
and the other (functional) is on the laptop chassi.

02:08.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 78)
08:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08)

In addition to that, this probably isn't the place to be asking about apache

What I do is use the nmh tool for dropping the message in the right 
place, instead of procmail's way. For instance, here is my gentoo 
recipe:

-8<

{
  # remove annoying [gentoo-user] from the subject
  SUBJECT=`formail -c -X Subject | sed -e 's/\[gentoo-user\]//'`

I also had some problems with this stuff, though it seems different from 
mine (I submitted a bug report - #40210). What I can tell you is:

o The script that emits these messages is called linuxrc. You can find 
it in /usr/share/genkernel/generic. AFAIK, if you make changes to it you  
have to recompile the kernel (or re-create the initrd in some way) for 
the changes to take effect. But at least you can see what's going on.

o When reach the stage above, you can type 'shell', and then you 
actually get a shell prompt. From there you can ivestigate: check 
whether /dev/hda3 exists, try to mount it yourself, etc.

I have tried with and without my standard bttv options (card= and the such), 
and I have tried with a completely plain kernel.
Any thoughts? Should a kernel bug be filed?

Here is my complete dmesg output: http://gspr.dyndns.org/~gspr/bttv.dmesg.log 
(this is from 2.6.2 with the two 2.6.0 Andrew Morton patches to work around 
the nForce2 APIC bugs, but the problem persists with a completely plain 
2.6.2).
It should perhaps be pointed out, in case it is unclear, that the bttv module 
functions flawlessly with kernel 2.6.1 on my system.

fdo Xserver is an alternative to xfree that can do real transparency.

Only issue I had with what you said (since I don't use Macs) was your 
comment that the transparency was handled by the O/S. I have a fairly 
limited definition of O/S when it comes to issues like this. It's 
either kernel space or user space. You are still talking about an 
application that lives in user space -- it's just handled outside of 
the individual application.
Fair enough call, I see that I said:

So I do know the difference, honest! Actually I think a lot of the

how that works WRT kernel & user-space.

Certainly it's a powerful tool for graphics applications but not so

Yeah, I agree. One of the first things I did after I installed iTerm 
was turn the default transparency off, and I haven't tried it with 
anything else, because I was quite uncomfortable with it. The 
transparency on icons in the dock is rather sweet, but I haven't seen 
any applications of it that I've found really useful. I do like the 
screenshots of the clock at the link Claran posted 
(), however. That's really 
quite lovely.

Arbitrary transformations OTOH, *is* really useful, now that Apple have 
developed the Exposé concept. It may seem like simple & blatant 
eye-candy, but when you use it you really start to appreciate it.

Not knowing how to resolve the problem I continued without

I untared stage1, the portage-snapshot and the source-code from the

everything necessary as described in the documentation handbook, but

Which kernel sources did you choose? I also got a kernel panic booting 
from the gentoo-sources kernel (2.4.22). I switched to a "vanilla" 
2.4.24 instead, and it works fine. I never had a boot-up kernel panic 
with a vanilla kernel, there must be something wrong with the patched 
version.


2.4.21

How did you switch? The live-cd that I downloaded 
(pentium4-1.4-20030911-cd1.iso 
)
a few days ago provides a 2.4.21 kernel and a 2.4.20 smp kernel, so I 
actually had no
choice because I have a single processor-machine.

[gentoo-user] xinetd won't restart service after connect

[Bryn Hughes]

Hi everyone,

I have xinetd-2.3.13 installed on my gentoo-ppc system.  I'm trying to 
use amanda on this server (which I have used successfully on many other 
servers) but I seem to be having some trouble specifically with the 
amanda service.  The first time a backup process connects to the server 
the amanda service is started properly by xinetd.  From running xinetd 
-d (debug mode) I am able to see that 2 connections are made, the first 
one exits and xinetd resumes the service properly.  After the second 
connection exits however xinetd does NOT resume the amanda service.  
This means any future connections fail.  If you look at the log below 
you can see the first connection detach and xinetd resume the service.  
I can wait for any amount of time and xinetd never seems to resume 
after the second connection.  After the second connection xinetd starts 
using CPU time like crazy too even though it isn't doing anything.

Below is an example run of xinetd -d:

IIRC the solution to this was to add "-doc" to your USE flags.

That doesn't seem to make a difference - and "emerge -uvp kdebase" does 
not show "doc" in the list of flags.

SIS900 works just fine on my 2.6.x kernels.  You could emerge

Maybe a stupid question, but how can I do the emerge without a

Of course, 2.6.1 may be more than you want to tackle.

You need the following in your /etc/fstab, and mkdir /sys.

# for 2.6.0
none  /dev/pts devpts  defaults0 0 
none  /sys   sysfsdefaults 0 0
   
You have to check out your kernel options carefully.
Ask again if you want to go this route.
 

I want to, but give me some time to understand your answer :-)

[gentoo-user] p800 and net.ppp

[Henti Smith]

hi all 

I'm trying to connect to my p800 phone using net.ppp and my knowledge of pp is very 
lacking.

I found page that details a pp connection to my phone suing the following settings 

Here is my /etc/ppp/peers/p800-usb:

connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/p800.chat"
noauth
user ppp
crtscts
lock
local
proxyarp
passive
115200
/dev/ttyUSB0
192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4

And here is /etc/ppp/peeers/p800.chat:

"" "." "Are you there?~" "~mRouter - I'm here~"

You now connect to your P800 by executing:

pppd call p800-usb 

I would like this in net.pp rather .. can somebody help me convert this to net.pp 
settings as I don't understand what any of this really means 

I also need to start bind AFTER ppp0 is started ... any help on that ? 

Thanks

Yes. That's where I not so sure about. I read that I had to use this SCSI
driver and the pcnet32 card, but apart from that I don't know which hardware
to configure i.e. as chipset, agpgart, gfxcard and so on.

IF you are using scsi? I was looking for IDE support, but it seems that VMWare
doesn't support it, right?

I did that, so I knew which diskdrvier and ethernet card, but the remainder
I'm not so sure about.

>For X you can either configure using the standard vga driver or go to

I was googling about this and I got the impression that I have to do some
kernel patching. I only found support on their page for standard distributions
like Suse 8.x, which I used earlier, so I looked into them. These mentioned
some kernel patch. So I was not sure if this patch has to be applied always,
or only for Suse kernels.
I'm always using the vanilla-sources, so I can be sure that I have the same as
the official version.

What XFree configuration should I use? Or is this exaplined there as well? I
will take a look anyway, as soon as I have a running system.

One other thing.

Is it possible to connect the serial port from the virtual machine to a serial
port on the host machine? Or to a tty? I wonder because I want to do some
kernel stuff, and I would need the serial port for debugging purposes, so I
wonder if it is possible to do this without an actual cable. Or do I need to
connect a real cable to both ports and configure one to be used by the VM and
the other by the host? This should work for sure.

[gentoo-user] unneeded check of Reiser filesystems

[purslow]

whenever i reboot my machine after a clean shutdown,
i get a series of lines:

  Checking all filesystems ...
  cleanly unmounted ...
  0 transactions replayed ...
  checking internal tree ...

these refer to my Reiser partitions, which are operating faultlessly.
the whole set of checks takes  c 25 sec  out of a boot time of  c 90 sec .
surely, if the partitions were cleanly unmounted (as acknowledged above),
there sb no need to check any of them.

there was a query re this back around December (it's in my archive)
& the response was to re-emerge 'baselayout', as it contained a bug.
i have done that & re-emerged 'reiserfsprogs', but nothing has changed.

is this a feature, a misconfiguration or a bug ?
can anyone suggest a remedy ?

Solved for real this time.  Turns out that 4.0.16 wasn't using the same
indexes in the table as the older 4.0.14, so the newer version was using
"filesort" instead of indexes, causing the massive slowdown.  Reverting
back to 4.0.14 and everything went back to full speed.  I have no idea
why mysql would not using the indexes the same database, but I'm happy
to have things back up at 100% :)
