That's IF you can get the interested.  In my experience you'll have little 
change of getting them involved unless the person is making threats of 
some sort (and graphic ones at that).

If Hotmail won't give you any details about their user, ask them to hold 
onto the relevant logs so that you can have your local law enforcement 
request them in one of many ways.  Then visit your local police station 
*in person* with your aunt and possibiy her daughter.  Bring along printed 
copies of the harassing email(s).  Make sure one of the ladies shows some 
strong emotion (tears work every time).  Explain the nitty gritty to the 
cop and let them know that you requested MS keep the relevant logs for the 
cops to request.  If they won't take any action you should try your 
state's BI.  They might be inclined to help.  If no law enforcement agency 
gives a hoot call you local TV station and give them the scoop on how the 
cops won't investigate further.  This usually works quite well.  Best of 
luck.

I tend to roll my own.  Actually I always roll my own to trim the fat and

carefully though.

I plan on installing a 3rd SATS drive in this server for the Gentoo 
installation.  My RH9 installation will remain intact until I'm satisfied 
that I'll never have to see it ever again. :)

Now this sounds interesting.  I don't know that I've ever heard of the 
kexec patch.  It would be nice to be able to control where I boot after a 
failed boot.  That would be most useful.  I don't have a HW console server 
option yet (PCI card to control keyboard and video I/O for control from 
the BIOS to the actual login).  I'll have to look into this further.

Yeah, I figure I can always get someone over there to run down and kick 
the box for me if I have to.  I'd rather not though since it's headless.  
It's doable though.  I'd like to find a way to maintain a grub install 
that could boot from either RH9 on hda1 or Gentoo on hda3.  I think it can 
do it but I'll have to play with it a bit to be sure.  Thanks for all the

I have both a CD-RW drive and a DVD-ROM.  Can I do this?:

I believe hdc is my DVD-ROM, and hdd is my CD-RW.  I would reboot, but OpenOffice is compiling so I figured I'd ask, since it will be awhile...hehe.

You need to add a few kernel parameters in your bootloader. If you're using LILO:

append="hdx=ide-scsi"

or GRUB:

kernel (hd0,0) hdx=ide-scsi

where hdx is what your drive shows up as now.

Actually this only gets triggered with -pv, as this combination also
shows the download size with 2.0.50. This information is extracted from
the digests, if there is no digest this COULD be a problem but in most
cases it isn't.

Check /etc/fstab. The lines for the cdrom and floppy must have the

Check /etc/conf.d/net for this line at the bottom:

# For setting the default gateway
gateway="eth0/192.168.0.1"

Of course your IP might be different.

[gentoo-user] Odd dependencies for emerge -UD world

[Gard Spreemann]

Hi.
Can somebody explain to me why "emerge -pU world" lists a "sane" set of 
packages to be merged, while "emerge -pUD world" wants to install a new 
package called sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.21?
I'm running kernel 2.6.2, so I'm thinking I don't want that package in my 
system. It also lists things like freetype, gpm and pdflib, which "emerge -pU 
world" does not (this is on a server system, and I do not need freetype).
In case it is relevant, I always compile and install kernels manually, without 
using portage.

ldconfig -p produces as one of its lines:

[gentoo-user] Wine-cvs ebuild won't merge

[gentoo-user] GCC3 fails

AGH!
I'm seriously ashamed here.  in my distraceted tiredness I've been
trying to help you with a problem that you don't have.  Please disregard
this, albeit very careful debugging into libstdc++.so.5 and lost
dynamic linking, its not the real problem you suffer. 


I shall take this as a very big sign that I shouldn't try to help people
in the evenings, as I reply to the wrong threads with the information,
and steadfastly continue to confuse the situation further.

I hope I haven't caused you inconveniece here,  it hasn't been my intent
at all.

You normaly can see these messages while your system is coming up.
When you are logged in you can also type "dmesg | less" to see them.

Are you shure that devfsd is proper running?
sys-fs/devfsd must be installed. If it isn't, emerge it.
Your kernel must be compiled with "/dev file system support" and if you
don't have it also compiled with the "Automatically mount at boot"
option, you must add "devfs=mount" as a kernel bootparameter to your
grub.conf (respectively lilo.conf).

okay, and this is the requested library, that should be found then.
(path matches). 

running "dconfig"at this point doesn't fix the problem?

if that doesn't work, "ldconfig -p" should print some more information,
or ldconfig -v (look for the path to libstdc++.so.5 .. )

it.

Not recommended currently. I'd suggest unmerging gcc 2.95 at a later

Several suggestions, please use the vanilla 5336 drivr from nvidia.com, 
not a patched release. The 5336 driver support 2.6 out of the box so no 
patching is necessary.

Just try this, please disable ACPI. When ACPI is enabled I have a 
astonishing frame drop of 10% or greater, so please edit your lilo.conf 
and pass the acpi=off option to the kernel.

I have the identical setup as you, and I am having no problems at all.
My setup is
1. Vanilla kernel 2.6.2 compiled with athlon optimisations, preemption 
enabled, acpi turned off at boot. I am using NVIDIA's agp driver.

cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
Status:  Enabled
Driver:  NVIDIA
AGP Rate:8x
Fast Writes: Enabled
SBA: Enabled

Hmm.the NVIDIA.5336.run package from nvidia.com supports 2.4 series 
without any problem. ALso I have noted that surprisingly the 2.4 series 
kernels give better frame rates for Neverwinter nights and other 3d games.
 
However you can try disabling acpi, thats the cause of most problems in   
the nforce2 motherboards.

I had something similar today while updating. The bad guy had been an
entry in /var/cache/edb/world where was a package with version number
without a = in front of it. I think they changed something in world.
There has to be a = or a >= in front of the package when using a special
version.

Hope that helps.

[gentoo-user] Kernel IP routing table

[Anthony Hoppe]

How do you delete an entry in the kernel IP routing table (command "route")?  I've tried but it always gives me either "unknown host" or "No address associated with name."

Re: [gentoo-user] Linux PCAnywhere client

[Imre Solti]

There is no Linux PCA client AFAIK.
Choices you have:
1) Install VNC server on the Windows machine and then you can use VNC 
client from Linux (that is what I do).
2) Install Windows somewhere where you can access it and run PCA client 
from there.
3) Install VNC server on a Windows machine that has PCA installed, use 
your VNC client from your Linux box to get into the first mentioned 
Windows box through VNC and go from there to the PCA-only Windows box 
using PCA client of the first mentioned Windows box (used that for some 
time, too). :-)

Don't really know. If you can find what you want, try vnc (or
better tightvnc). Much better than PCAnywhere, quick and easy to
install, and, if run over ssh, much more secure.


I'll cast my vote for tightvnc I run my 2nd Gentoo box and a headless 
win98 box with it so I can use my parametric CAD program.  


I need an actual *PCAnywhere* client for Linux. There is a computer (not 
mine) running PCAnywhere that I want to access without having to install 
Windows on my box.

The kernel seems to work fine, but now I have a problem with SVGAlibs. I
wanted to emerge KDE and it stops at svgalibs saying that it couldn't compile
the kernel module.

If you could send me both of your configs that would be really fine. Thanks!

Subject: A question about LILO
Hi,
I used to have Gentoo in /dev/hda2
Now I have Gentoo in /dev/hdb3
I have Windows XP in /dev/hda1
After telling the BIOS to start in my second HDD
and using LILO to set hdb as my boot drive
I can boot to my new Gentoo but I can't boot to Windows.
What should I do in order to boot to Windows?
Thanks,
Yuval Scharf

NO.

That'll open up your machine to anyone who tries to connect to it - a
SERIOUS security issue. Use sudo to run X programs as root.

You've probably got a theme selected (in $HOME/.gtkrc) that doesn't exist
or isn't installed. Try deleting your gtkrc and see if things start

I guess I'll be reinstalling my system today... I wanted to update it
anyhoo as portage had changed several times and I now have a new cpu and
more ram... but I find it a bit disturbing that after doing an emerge
-uDv world it seemed to stop after the portage and not pick up again and
when I run a new sync and emerge -puDv world I get what occurs below... 
 Anyone else have this??  

Btw to the powers that be if your reading this
could it be possible to note in Announce when a package is having major
changes if it's system critical packages and not just security bugs?  It
would be nice to be warned for a change.  Because as we all know when we
run emerge -uDv world it can take awhile so alot of us aren't staring at
the thing so sometimes we miss the at time messages or it scrolls so
fast we don't see them.

PS yes I'm going to put this in bugzilla too...

Re: [gentoo-user] can't boot new system

[Claudinei Matos]

Well, I've built my kernel using genkernel too but I don't need any
initrd except for use bootsplash and that's work very well 'cause I'm
using the initrd that "bootsplash" package provides.
When the kernel compile process finish, genkernel tell me to use at
kernel parameter: root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hdXX
So I've tried to use these parameters with lilo but it don't install
with this options so I've tried to use with grub that install weel but
when boot the kernel get panic.
So I'm currently using lilo again and using the same parameters that I
always use:
image = /boot/kernel-2.6.1-splash
root = /dev/hdb6
label = Gentoo-splash
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd-1024x768
append="splash=verbose"
and that work's perfectly :)

PCAnywhere that I want to access without having to install Windows on my box.

What do you need mtools for?  Never messed with a USB floppy drive

Ok; unfortunately I wiped out the new system and reinstalled it from scratch.

Well, no need to now; I will go on and see if the problem comes up again.

I understand; the point is that I didn't do anything by hand, I just installed a 
brand new system and this happened at the very first emerge world.
This is a BIG bug in some ebuild or some script or other, surely ?
Could I just have been unlucky and emerged against an rsync mirror which 
had not yet introduced all necessary changes or something like that ? 

Anyway, now I'm running emerge system. Tomorrow I'll be back to where I was before.
I'll let you know if the problem comes up again.

Maybe your answer is the right one, but I can't make it work. The path 
in /etc/env.d and /etc/ld.conf are identical. This system has been 
running for more than 1.5 years, so I don't expect problems with the 
host type. I emerged portage 2.50 succesfully, and after that one 
finished I wanted to emerge the rest of 'world' and that's when the

I've found that once per day is too much for me - once every several keeps my

I'm assuming you used the -D option; the package now depends on another which
you do not have installed, or you changed your USE flags such that the
package requires additional ones.

[gentoo-user] emerge -u world question

[Gerhard W . Gruber]

I run once per day an emerge sync to see which packages are update and I have
two questions about it.

1.) Is it possible to do an emerge -u world and specifying some packages which
shouldn't be downgraded? I know that I can use -U to upgrade only, but I
wanted my emerge to stay with the "normal" versions. I have one package which
I don't want to change though and when I would run emerge -u world, it would
be downgraded.

2.) Why does the list sometimes include packages where there is an N in the
status? I thought emerge only shows me packages we could be updated indicating
this with an U and D. N means not installed? Or what exactly does it mean when
it writes this?

check that the same path exists for real.   if they differ, things are

preemption?

local-apic?

This three guys are the cause of a lot of nvidia problems.
I have 2.6.2-rc3 running, without preemption and do not have any lockups. But, 
I have not a nvidia board.. btw, have you looked into the nvidia-linux-forum?

If you also upgraded python you will need to run python-updater.
Check your portage log of python-2.3.3:
*
* If you have just upgraded from python-2.2.x you will need to run:
*
* /usr/sbin/python-updater

Re: [gentoo-user] Possibly copy protected CDs?

Mark Knecht wrote:
How about just unmounting the disk and trying:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=EXILE_DISK_1.iso
perhaps? That'll give you an exact (and burnable) copy of the disk.


Not a happy dd process...

Gentoo2 root # dd if=/dev/cdrom of=EXILE_DISK_1.iso
dd: reading `/dev/cdrom':Input/oupuut error
3304+0 records in
3304+0 records out
It fails for some of these reasons:

1. broken CD
2. end of CD (to check it, mount cd, run "df" and compare sizes)
3. copy protected CD.
It can be a problem to differentiate reasons 1.and 3. because
some manufacturers probably use the same copy protection method
as used on floppies in old times ... some theory follows:
Sector on CD is 2352 Bytes, 2048 for data, the rest is for
headers and CRC. Normally every sector's CRC is calculated
from sector's data (IMHO calculated by CD burner itself).
In this way it's possible to read a CD even if reading of
some bits fails (for different reasons).
Sector intentionally burned with broken CRC and/or header (yes,
it's possible to do!) can be used as copy indicator, because
on original CD read error occurs (data still can be read OK),
but on copied CD the error is "corrected".
dd command will fail with broken sector msg or so.
U can still read it using this command:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=my.iso conv=noerror bs=1k count=[size shown by df]

The problem is to burn the image now, because if u burn it in
usual way, CRC/header of the "broken" sector will be burned properly.
There are for sure other possibilities how CD's can be copy protected
and still readable by dd without any error ( e.g. info from CD's header
can be checked etc.)
I don't know about linux SW, which can clone such CD's,
but I heard "clonecd" or "nero" for micro$hit should do it.

I also have the a7nx8 and a ti4200 I am seeing about a 10% decrease 
in framerate with glxgears, and am having lockups. The lockups occur 
more frequently with a GL screensaver running, but do occasionally 
happen with a rapid mouse movement. (suggestions are welcomed)
As I don't have the 2.6.1 kernel doing everything I want, I would 
like to be able to boot back into 2.4.20, but can't unless I 
downgrade the nvidia drivers. Is there a way around this?

I have no idea why this should be, but to debug it try looking at the network 
traffic with tcpdump, ideally from a 3rd machine. Either for long delays 
between pkts or some change in config that is causing additional overhead.

If the file to be downloaded exist, wget simply downloads the file as

But it seems emerge is using the -c option to continue downloads that

[gentoo-user] Choppy mp3's via wireless connections...

[Jerry McBride]

Anyone have an idea for this one??

I've been experencing choppy mp3 playback when running wireless. Hardwire 
playback, via cat5e, is perfect.

The server/client involved are gentoo. The software versions are: kde 3.2.0, 
kernel 2.6.2, samba 3.0.1 on both ends. Hardware of the client is a presario 
700us running the alsa snd_via82xxx driver with the ac97 codec. I use alsa as 
the OSS drivers won't detect the laptop hardware Orinoco Gold pcmcia card 
which is a 802.b running at 11mbit, processor is an AMD 1.2gig with 256meg 
memory...

Anyways, the problem shows it's ugly head anytime I try to play mp3's when 
running wirelessly. Using KDE and JUK, the mp3 begins to play like normal 
then pauses briefly and begins to play again. The same thing happens with 
MPG123 or MPG321 when run without KDE. This occurs all the way through the 
playback. During the pauses, I have noticed that there's a bit of activity 
with the connection led's of the Orinoco. I would assume that the player runs 
out of data stream and pulls more off the server via the wireless. When this 
happens, the music playback stops until the buffer fills and then playback 
resumes nornally...

If I unplug the Orinoco and plug into the network viat cat5e, playback is 
perfect, no drop outs or any problems...

I've dug all around the net, looking for a way to either increase the buffer 
size in the orinoco or in juk... I've looked for ways to increase the 
priority of the pcmcia-cs drivers... I've tried to renice the involved 
processes, but no change is noted.  I've expiremented with the buffers in 
samba I've done as much as I can do to iron this one out and now I'm 
asking for a bit of help from anyone that may have a solution.

Thank you, in advance.

Dave,

Are you running X when compiling?  On one of my systems, I found that when I

This causes gcc to the segfault or generate the "Internal Compiler Error"

Turning off X and running the compile in console mode and the problem goes
away.
So it is possible to not have hardware problems, but to still have memory
problems due to what is running on the system at the time.

Re: [gentoo-user] Hyper Threading

No it is for making user space programs threaded if they support it (I

I do not use it and I am HT.
You can check that HT is working because you start multiple kernel 
compiles in the background and then you can see both CPUs utilized 
around 99 % in "top". (Hit 1 when in top if only one CPU shows up.)

[gentoo-user] change gallery install path

[gentoolb]

 Hello list ..

I have been running gallery for quite some time now and noticed there was an
update in portage for it.. reading the Changelog it states it is a version
bump and a security fix, so I was sure to upgrade ..

but my install path for gallery is not in its default install place and the
new gallery ebuild uses a different way to specify values ..

I do see my albums and such, but all of the needed files to run gallery are
somewhere else..

how can I force and specify where gallery to install its files?

Not a bug, or not in the sense you -think-

This is gcc, not linux-headers.  

Now look in /etc/env.d/05gcc, check the variable LDPATH there.

check that the same path exists for real.   if they differ, things are
bad.

Check that you never, ever. ever. ever. (need I repeat again) changed
the CHOST variable in /etc/make.conf once you were past the initial
stage1.

make sure that the path in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i*-pc-linux-gnu/?.?.?  is in
/etc/ld.so.conf  (that its the exact , perfect, RIGHT path too)

run "ldconfig" after that.

try again the broken apps.



Your problem :  gcc is flaked out and the system doesn't find your gcc
c++ files.

I can see that the compiler should be one of the first things to be
compiled in as even a 5% speed increase in compiler speed can speed up the
compile time of the larger packages a lot.

[gentoo-user] libwww-5.4.0-r[12] compile fails

[Harlan]

Hello,
  I'm trying to install/update apache, php and mysql.  I have older versions 
of apache and mysql on this computer, but php has not been installed on this 
computer before.

When I do a pretend, here is the list of what needs to be built:

star21 portage # emerge -p apache php mysql

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] net-www/apache-2.0.48-r1  
[ebuild  N] net-libs/libwww-5.4.0-r1  
[ebuild  N] dev-php/php-4.3.4-r4  
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/tcp-wrappers-7.6-r6 [7.6-r4] 
[ebuild U ] dev-db/mysql-4.0.16 [4.0.13-r4] 

I've done this a few times, and portage thinks that apache needs to be 
recompiled every time; apache builds just fine.

I even tried to do an "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge net-misc/libwww"  (which 
is how I tried libwww-5.4.0-r2) with the same results.

Re: [gentoo-user] Need some advice on to switch from mandrake to gentoo.

Sure you can! However, you may want to consider installing from your 
existing Mandrake
installation. You should actually be able to install Gentoo on the same 
partition (into a subdirectory,
using chroot - see the handbook), and later replace the Mandrak 
installation (except for /home) with it,
though the transition may be a little tricky (mv, rm, cp etc. may 
break). I would recommend booting
from the LiveCD before performing this last step. How much disk space do 
you have left on /?
   



/dev/hda6 5.9G  3.7G  2.2G  63% /

Should be enough.

 

If you remove Mandrake before the install, it definitely should. When 
you run low on disk
space with a Gentoo installation, check your /usr/portage/distfiles. 
That's where the downloads
go, and Gentoo doesn't delete anything in it automatically.

Here's a simple script that you might also find useful (I've installed 
this as /usr/bin/diskusage):
du --max-depth=1 "$@" | sort -n -r | less

When called without arguments, it displays the subdirectories of ".", 
sorted by size, descending.
When called with argument "*", it displays files as well.

And etcat -s tells you the installed size of a given package.

Alternatively, install everything from binary, this will save lots and 
lots of time, you will be able to
compile packages later.
   

Yes, this is what I plan as i want to get the desktop up and running as 
fast as possible. Once I have a working desktop I will set about updating 
to the modern packages.

 

kdegames: merge time: 44 minutes and 52 seconds
etc.
   

Does this time include downloading as well?

 

I'm not sure... for broadband, download times should be much lower than 
compile times
(my 768-kbps DSL line manages about 360 Megabytes per hour, others are 
still faster).

The only notable exception are binaries, e.g. openoffice-bin or 
americas-army.

Currently, emerge does not support simultaneous downloading and 
compiling (at least I
know nothing about such an option), in the future it could download the 
next package
while the current package is still compiling. For now, you can more or 
less emulate this
by starting an emerge -f (options) (packages) first, waiting for one or 
more downloads to
complete, and then starting another emerge (options) (packages) with the 
same arguments
except "-f" (without terminating the first emerge). Though this may 
cause trouble should the second
emerge ever catch up with the first... I'm not sure whether running 2 
wget processes on
the same file is a good idea.

xfree: merge time: 1 hour, 9 minutes and 14 seconds.
   

hmm.this was fastxfree86 needs a large volume of space and takes a lot 
of time to compile too usually.

 

Maybe this is because the gcc was Athlon-XP-optimized with -O3? :-)

Various other packages that will be needed for your installation add up 
to let's say 3 hours,
that would be 12 1/2 hours in total. Deduct 20% for your faster 
processor, and it's still about
10 hours.
   

Well I plan to use the live cd's and get a precompiled xfree86+kde setup
ready then from the network upgrade the gcc, libc, kernel, xfree and KDE
step by step as time permits, I suppose this is the best option.
 

Make it so!

Re: [gentoo-user] xmms and gtk warnings

One cause may be you haven't install gtk-engines-xfce (engine required
by some themes)

I don't know about that, sorry ~
