You still haven't given any information that even hints at a possible cause. How much memory does your system have? If you have only 64MB but are running xorg+gnome+whatever at the same time as building, it'll be a lot slower than when there was nothing but a text console running. What is your load average? Run the program top in another terminal while compiling on the same box. If the load average is much above 2.0, then you've got something clogging up the system and it's likely to be right at the top of the list of processes there. If the wa item (10.3% in the example below) is very large, then you may have a bad/slow hard drive or just too many applications reading data off the disk. Look there also for swap usage, it should be nearly zero most of the time. Or perhaps your hard drive is not using dma (check with hdparm -d /dev/hda). Look through your entire dmesg output.

One other thing though, if you installed your system from a stage3 tarball or from the GRP disc, the very first compile time shown by splat (for the base system packages anyway) is how long it took to get compiled on gentoo's buildserver which is probably a much faster machine than what you are running.

[gentoo-user] Hauppauge WinTV GO 2 (34705) - snowy picture and no sound
Hi all, I'm having a strange problem getting my TV card working... I've compiled kernel 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 (will upgrade to r5 this evening to check too) with the cx8800 modules for my TV card, and it seems to be recognised without any trouble at all. The tuner is detected correctly, the TV standard set correctly, and everything. I've tried tuning the card in tvtime and I manage to get a picture, but it's very snowy, black and white, and I get white noise instead of the channel audio. I've got the 'Norm' set to 'PAL' in tvtime and the aerial signal is pretty good. I've even tried connecting a PlayStation's RF adapter right into the video card and when I tune that I get a similar effect, except I get a hint of colour in the picture. I would have tried with xawtv as well, but I can't get it to compile with gcc-3.4, but since that was updated this morning I might give it another shot. I'm living in the UK so the TV standard is PAL-I. Below is what the kernel logs when I load the module: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 cx2388x v4l2 driver version 0.0.4 loaded ACPI: PCI interrupt :00:0a.0[A] - GSI 17 (level, low) - IRQ 209 cx88[0]: subsystem: 0070:3401, board: Hauppauge WinTV 34xxx models [card=1,autodetected] tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 34705, rev = E111, serial# = 6197781 tveeprom: tuner = Philips FI1246 MK2 (idx = 11, type = 1) tveeprom: tuner fmt = PAL(I) (eeprom = 0x10, v4l2 = 0x0010) tveeprom: audio_processor = MSP3425 (type = 15) cx88[0]: registered IR remote control cx88[0]/0: found at :00:0a.0, rev: 3, irq: 209, latency: 32, mmio: 0xec00 tuner: chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus cx88[0] tuner: type set to 1 (Philips PAL_I (FI1246 and compatibles)) by cx88[0] cx88[0]/0: registered device video0 [v4l2] cx88[0]/0: registered device vbi0 cx88[0]/0: registered device radio0 cx88[0]/0: set_audio_standard_BTSC (status: known-good) cx88[0]/0: cx88: tvaudio thread started cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0xffe2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x72 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0xb2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0xf2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x32 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO I've also tried with and without the v4l patches at http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.10-2/All-2.6.10.diff.gz.

Re: [gentoo-user] xcdroast problems with kernel 2.6.10
It would be to no avail, I'm sure! As a matter of fact I erased everything on the partition by reformatting it, made a new installation of Gentoo from scratch compiling only the new kernel 2.6.10 and xcdroast. Previously on the same partition I had kernel 2.4.

[gentoo-user] CD/DVD burning
Hi all,
What's the logical explanation for this :
I have three drives 1 IDE and 2 SCSI divided in :
1 IDE writer
1 SCSI writer
1 SCSI reader
k3b detects only one :
writer : /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd
no scsi detected
Eclipt Roaster and Gnome Toaster only detect scsi :
Eroaster : 0,0,0 and 0,6,0
Gtoaster : /dev/sr0 (0,0,0) and /dev/sr1 (0,6,0)
no ide detected
GCDmaster detects a lot :
for scsi :
0,0,0 -- no disk
0,6,0 -- no disk
for ide :
ATAPI: 0,1,0 -- no disk
ATAPI: 1,0,0 -- ready
ATAPI: 1,6,0 -- ready
All the latest builds with the same USE variables. When using emerge -pv all
dependencies turn up +red except the -debug is blue, witch is normal because
it's not in my USE variable. What else is there to control this. The programs
itself do not find anything that I input manually in the settings.
Thanks in advance and for your attention,
William.

Re: [gentoo-user] Devilspie doesn't emerge (BUG)
Hareesh Nagarajan wrote: Hi, I tried to emerge devilspie but I get the following errors. Is this is a dependency related bug? error configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool The error message clearly indicates a dependency related issue Well, actually, it's a deep dependency, and not necessarily a bug. Devilspie is dependent on Perl and libxml2, but intltool (Scripts for extracting translatable strings from various sourcefiles) is dependent on XML::Parser to function in this particular instance-- not surprising since devilspie config files are in XML (haven't looked at the source, but clearly XML parsing is very important to the correct functioning of the program). Devilspie itself is not dependent on the XML::Parser perl module (on paper, at least), which could explain why you don't have it installed. If you don't have the XML::Parser perl module installed emerge it (emerge XML-Parser-- note the case!), if it is installed, re-emerge it, and then devilspie should emerge normally. This does seem to be incorrect behaviour insofar as I usually have this module already installed and something seems to break it so that I also get this message when attempting to install/upgrade devilspie. However, the problem of fragile perl modules that appear to break if you breathe on them too hard (or something)-- if actually a bug, is not a bug in Devilspie, but a problem with Perl generally, or Portage's handling of Perl-based applications, neither of which I know enough about to speak on reliably (or at all, actually :-) --this is based on my observations as a user of applications that depend on various Perl modules). There might be something to the idea that intltool should be a RDEPEND of devilspie, or that XML:Parser should be an IUSE of devilspie (or something -- I'd have to look at the ebuild writers guide to know which one should be included, or where it should be), in which case it is a bug, but I'm not at all sure that this is fixable via the ebuild, especially if the module in question is already installed but 'broken/disconnected' due to other Perl operations or upgrades unrelated to devilspie. Hope this helps (and hope someone who knows more about Perl drops by to explain what's going on, as it really is irritating). Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Which Video Card for TV Out?
Hi all, I need to connect my computer, running Gentoo of course, to my TV. I'd like to get everyone's opinion as to what graphics card I should use to get decent TV output. I live in the UK, so the card must be capable of doing PAL. Another **requirement** is that I can start X **without a monitor attached**, i.e. just the TV. I have a Radeon 7000/VE that, after lots and lots of hacking, shows a lovely picture on the TV but X refuses to start up without a monitor attached. The S3 ProSavage8 built-in to my motherboard works, but doesn't play nice with the system, eats my RAM, and doesn't use the whole of the TV screen (I get big black borders around the edge). I'm considering getting a nVidia GeForce MX4000 as people seem to be having more luck with these, but I'm not sure about the monitor requirement. And does it work on an AGP 4X bus? Can anybody comment at all? Maybe you guys have an idea how to force X to start without a monitor? Many thanks, Chris smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: BT848 driver.
And you normally can't have two graphic cards in one box. There might be some weird way though to have both an AGP card and a PCI one installed but I wouldn't bet on that. This is horribly inaccurate: I currently have 4 in my desktop at home. One built-in video card on the motherboard (AGP, disabled); an ATI AIW-Radeon 9200 64MB AGP (that I haven't bothered trying to get working in Linux); a Nvidia GeForce MX 440 64MB PCI; and an Nvidia GeForce FX5200 128MB PCI. ...and I have all three of them (the ATI card and both Nvidia cards) enabled working in both Windows and Linux. It's not weird at all... unless you find it weird having 3x 17 LCDs hooked up to a single machine, with a desktop spanning all three monitors...? (greedy, yes; silly, yes; but - even if I do say so myself - it _does_ look cool. ;) ... but now I'm straying horribly off-topic ... And if it's not a silly question (Which bet it is) is it possible to have two graphic cards installed... One for XP the other for Gentoo? Definitely not a silly question. The answer is simply yes.

I'll wait see what happens when I get the new ATI drivers,I thought I had them but I didn't so I unmerged them now. I did sync today but as Holly said, they may take a while to appear. HS For sound - that's a total different issue. I assume you already plugged HS WinTV's audio out into your sound card's line in ;-) I did manage to get it all working, xawtv was a dismal failure but I got tvtime working perfectly with sound as well. Trouble is my system was very unstable and kept crashing. I couldn't use my email application which is a Windows app running under wine. I'll try again later to see what version is available. I'm quite pleased in a way, it proves that it will work given the correct driver and settings. I was half tempted to copy ALL the Knoppix files over but this wouldn't be Gentoo then. I'm certainly not giving up on Gentoo, not only am I enjoying it immensely, probably more than any other I've tried, but I got stage one bragging rights as well :) I do appreciate all the help from everyone, I just hope that someone asks a question I can help with sometime. -- Tony.

[gentoo-user] Pam and environment variables

[gentoo-user] Label printer on Gentoo
I've tried to set my Zebra LP 2844 label printer up in Gentoo before
with no luck, but I don't know much about setting up printers. I have
heard from two guys on another mailing list that is definitely works.
One guys says:
Once set up, all you have to do is open a port to the printer and dump
the ASCII label data.
The other guys says:
I have it connected via the serial port and do an open of file and
printer, write file to printer and close. Here is the Perl code I
have which I'm sure can be improved upon
open (PNG, $labelFile) or die Could not open PNG file $!;
open (ZEBRA, /dev/ttyS0) or die Could not open serial port $!;
my $line = '';
$line = PNG;
while ($line) {
print ZEBRA $line;
# This will send it to the Zebra printer print ZEBRA $line;
$line = PNG;
}
close(PNG);
close(ZEBRA);
I'm not sure where to start with this. All I need to be able to print
to this printer are the labels mentioned above. Can anyone point me
in the right direction?

of the burner. I therefor do not know if the detections was correct or equal
with every program with 2.4.

0,5,0 5) 'EPSON' 'SCANNER GT-7000' '1.14' Processor

1,3,0 103) 'IBM' Disk
1,6,0 106) 'IBM' Disk
for ATAPI it is :
0,1,0 1) 'PLEXTOR' 'DVDR PX-708A' '1.08' Removable CD-ROM
1,0,0 100) 'ADAPTEC' NON CCS Disk
1,6,0 106) 'ADAPTEC' NON CSS Disk
Witch is all correct except for the Adaptec's, I do not know where that comes

It's (fairly) easy to set up an initrd. As you may already know, an initrd is simply a (optionally compressed) file that is loaded into memory and mounted as root. Here's how to make one: # Make the initrd, here we make an 8MB file of all 0s: # Use any file name you want. dd if=/dev/zero of=/boot/initrd-lvm2_jfs bs=512 count=16384 # Format the initrd; to mount it we will need a filesystem # Here we use ext2, for widest support. Also, we don't need or # want journaling overhead. # You can use any options you want, as long as your kernel can # mount the filesystem with no modules loaded. mke2fs -F /boot/initrd-lvm2_jfs Okay, now that gives something that is theoretically an initrd. Unfortunately, using it as an initrd will not be helpful since it doesn't get our system to the point where /sbin/init can be run. In order to make our initrd functional, we'll need to put some files on the filesystem. Do do that, we'll need to mount it. You'll also repeat this step if you need to modify the initrd because you made a mistake or your system has changed. # Make the mount point, if it doesn't exist (you can use any mount point) mkdir /boot/initrd # Mount the file using loopback (must have kernel support). mount -o loop /boot/initrd-lvm2_jfs /boot/initrd Okay, now you'll have to fill it with files. After the kernel mounts the initrd (on /), it will execute the file /linuxrc. You'll fill this file with any commands you want to run before init starts. Be sure to move the commands over to the new initrd as well as any libraries they may require. You'll need to install a shell, too. My initrds use nash, but there are others that should work fine. You can determine what libraries a command will need using ldd. You'll probably also need to make a few device nodes in your initrd. Neither devfs or udev will actually be running, yet, IIRC. I can't remember if you have to have /proc or not; I know my initrd doesn't explicitly mount it, but does explicitly unmount it, after pivot_root Once you get done throwing files onto your initrd. You'll need to unmount it and modify /boot/grub/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf. If using lilo, you'll wnat to do the lilo update thingy (I use grub, can you tell?). Once you get the uncompressed initrd working, which will probably take a few tries, you can use gzip compress it and the kernel should transparently uncompress it as part of mounting it. This may or may not speed the amount of time it takes to boot. You won't have to mess with any boot options as long as your initrd keeps the same name. # Compressing the initrd. gzip /boot/initrd-lvm2_jfs # Renaming the compressed file. mv /boot/initrd-lvm2_jfs.gz /boot/initrd-lvm2_jfs Of course, you need not generate an initrd completely from scratch. There are quite a few scripts out there that will do most of the job for you. The gentoo way is genkernel, but it doesn't actually support / on LVM last time I checked and it's startup proceedure (linuxrc) is a bit complex (so, it's harder to modify). I simply used mkinitrd by Erik Troan [EMAIL PROTECTED], but qpkg (and I) don't know where I got it. Again, it doesn't support / on LVM out of the box, so I had to modify it which is how I got to learn about initrds. :) -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] How to use formatted CDs in rw mode?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear gentlemen, Could someone tell me what I would have to do to get the read-write access to my UDF formatted CDs? I use XCDRoast for roasting, but the only option in it related to CD-RWs is for deleting contents, which is not what I would want in this moment, but rather to add some files in there. I tried a cheap trick in fstab, replacing ISO9660 with UDF, and removing ro option, thinking I am smart and cunning, but it couldn't help. /dev/cdroms/cdrom0/mnt/cdrw udf noauto0 0 It mounted the CD-RW again as read-only, and all files were shown as *folders*, so I couldn't even read them. Do I need some dedicated software for this purpose? - -- Mica As of the next week, passwords will be entered by singing. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iD8DBQFB7A9x9q62QPd3XuIRAvwnAJ9/YJZ5tVJNGJ7bKxOUNbf8f9CtIQCfb0Vf iRC/Be9p5Vv4lOfGyJL97oI= =NsMY -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Could someone tell me what I would have to do to get the read-write access to my UDF formatted CDs? You need an additional patch for the kernel to get R/W UDF support... It's referred to as packet writing... try this out for more info: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Packet_Writing_on_CD-RW -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] problems with euse
Jadex wrote: Yes, and what are the permissions of /etc/make.profile/../use.desc and /etc/make.profile/../use.local.desc, and what user is trying to access these files via euse (root, member of the root group, or neither/other)? The funny thing is I'm calling euse as root and the files /etc/make.profile/../use.desc doesn't exist (make.profile is a symlink in /etc and /etc/use.desc doesn't exist) No, no, no... do you see those /.../ in the path? That's because the path is really long, and variable, and not so suitable to type out in it's entirety. use.desc and use.local/desc are in the folder that /etc/make.profile are symlinked to, which is /usr/portage/profiles/your_profile_version . So that's where you want to check for the permissions. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You can't packet-write with that, even if you could reliably packet-write under Linux, which afaik, you can't. Even the programs that pretend to do drag-and-drop burning ala XP, just make an ISO in the temp directory and burn that. Sorry, but I really hate packet-writing. Always have, since it showed up some 6 or so years ago under Windows apps (yes, it was around long before XP melded it into the OS). Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Saving/changing CFLAGS for individual packages.
There are a few packages (like OpenOffice.org) that I'd like to use CFLAGS for that are different from the CFLAGS setting in /etc/make.conf. Is there a file where I can permanently set some package-specific overrides, so that the package will automatically be built with the specified CFLAGS (i.e., in an emerge -uD world) instead of just watching them closely and merging them with CFLAGS set on the command-line? -- Adam Fabian ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
