I may not be correct, but reading through xargs and some other docs,
suggest that there is a _limit_ on the # of arguments accepted on the

Xargs can cut and paste the long list into a few bundles for execution.

currently realised that there is something wrong (for me) with printing from
firefox.
My cups setup is a HP 4050 LJ (duplex capable - and set up as every job
should be printed duplex/long-side) printer via jetdirect. Previously (cca.
2 months ago) It went seemless from firefox: if I click the print icon it
printed double-sided.
But for now it's just wrong: it printed on one sided pages, but
only_from_firefox_and_mozilla (for example I can simply print double-sided
from OO.org) which makes me pretty nervous, cause I must print a lot, and
single-sided printing is not an option.
I couldn't find any option for this in about:config.
Tried this printing command:
lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME} -o
sides=two-sided-long-edge
but it didn't work.

So the real question is, is this a 'bug' or 'feature request' for portage. It seems it should have warned me somehow that -vorbis- isn't masked, yet the other packages are. Masking has nothing to do with it, except by accident, afaik. I had this problem myself, and it seemed to be due to some of the gstreamer plugins being updated, and some not. The gst-plugins package and the specific gstreamer plugins such as the vorbis plugin are related both to each other and the gstreamer version. As you see, both gstreamer and the plugins package are available in version 0.8.7, but the vorbis package is only available in version 0.8.5 (before ~masking comes into play), which is linked to the gst-plugins package. The individual plugin and the gst-plugins package must be the same version, but the gst-plugins package also wants to be the same version as gstreamer. This is why the gst-plugins package keeps trying to upgrade, to match the gstreamer version, then downgrade, to match the vorbis plugin version. Your solution to this is 'correct', since the vorbis plugin is the 'problem'. I don't see it as a bug, maybe a feature request (although I'd think it's fairly questionable). Vorbis support is, after all, optional, and optional means that you are supposed to be paying attention to how it relates to the main trunk feature. If you're already manually unmasking gstreamer and gstplugins, it seems reasonable that you the user should also manually confirm the status of the optional features you choose and unmask them manually as well. The only 'issue' I see that might be a bug is gst-plugin's connection to both lower versions of individual plugins, and higher versions of gstreamer that do not support the lower version plugins. But I don't know enough about gstreamer to know if that's not right or an upstream problem or an ebuild issue. I find it weird, but then again, one should really not be using lower-version plugins with a higher version of gstreamer anyway, so while it may not be right, one should practically not be encountering this problem anyway (but rather the problem of reduced function while the plugin is unavailable, which does fall under feature request, except that the devs were very good about getting the plugins updated to conform with the gstreamer version within a couple of days, from what I saw). Is there any further information on b.g.o, such as previously submitted bugs to this effect? Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] wvdial not writing to /etc/resolv.conf
I only occasionally use my laptop for dialup, I use it mainly through the home lan or office lan. Therefore before I go away somewhere I test wvdial to make sure it is still working.

And they DO get written to /etc/ppp/resolv.conf, but thats not much use for resolving dns. I have done a quick hack by adding a line cp /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/ppp/ip-up, but as I say that is a quick hack and I would like the system to work properly I am a lazy sod and running wvdial as root, so permissions should not be a problem. root is also in the uucp and dialout groups, just for good measure! according to man wvdial, auto dns should be on by default, and there is nothing in /etc/wvdial.conf to turn it off.

[gentoo-user] 2 mice
I have posted similar messages at multiple places with no response, so I'm hoping someone here might have something to say. I got a USB I-Pen Pro (it's a usb mouse that is shaped like a pen, with the left mouse button being the pen tip). I configured XF86Config to use 2 mice. The only thing that I can think of with my configuration here is that maybe the protocol isn't IMPS/2. Anyway, I started X, which came up. My dockapps never loaded (i'm using windowmaker), and I have a small titlebar near the middle of the screen that says windows or maybe it was just window. It looked kind of like a titlebar for a drop down menu. I was able to move the pointer with both my mouse and the I-Pen, but I could not click on anything with either mouse. I eventually had to kill X and revert back to my old XF86Config file. I asked the windowmaker list first because of the dockapps not loading and the strange titlebar on screen, which made me think it might have been a windowmaker-related issue. I guess it could also be a problem with my xorg configuration, or the protocol im using like I said earlier.

I have done a quick hack by adding a line cp /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/ppp/ip-up, but as I say that is a quick hack and I would like the system to work properly I am a lazy sod and running wvdial as root, so permissions should not be a problem. root is also in the uucp and dialout groups, just for good measure! according to man wvdial, auto dns should be on by default, and there is nothing in /etc/wvdial.conf to turn it off. Ideas anyone? This sounds like something that used to happen to me (last summer) after I updated ppp when I was on dialup. I could log on to my isp, but suddenly couldn't access any web sites (couldn't resolve a dns). There is a fix on the Gentoo forum somewhere, that has to do with the /etc/ppp/ip-up shell script update not creating (or assigning) the right permissions to resolv.conf. You had to go in and add a chmod 644 line to the ip-up file, IIRC. I think this was eventually fixed with a subsequent update- have you updated the ppp stuff lately? OK- Now I remember.

Re: [gentoo-user] 2 mice
I got a USB I-Pen Pro (it's a usb mouse that is shaped like a pen, with the left mouse button being the pen tip). I configured XF86Config to use 2 mice. The only thing that I can think of with my configuration here is that maybe the protocol isn't IMPS/2. Technically, yes, you should configure 2 seperate mice. However, you don't have to. I suggest configuring your main mouse - insure that it works, then just plug in the I-pen and see if it works as well. It'll use the same settings as the main mouse. But you won't necessarily have all, if any, extra features that are supported. But it's useful to insure all the other software works from a base perspective. If you're lazy, like me, then you'll leave it this way if it works well enough to not be annoying. Anyway, I started X, which came up. My dockapps never loaded (i'm using windowmaker), and I have a small titlebar near the middle of the screen that says windows or maybe it was just window. It looked kind of like a titlebar for a drop down menu. I was able to move the pointer with both my mouse and the I-Pen, but I could not click on anything with either mouse. I eventually had to kill X and revert back to my old XF86Config file. Can't help here. Only suggest trying another Window Manager to verify with. You'll probably need something with a dock, perhaps Xcfe? (Not sure, I hate docking bars, waste of screen space, thus no experience with any of them.) Bob -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] ntfs vs *nix fs
I had a google but didn't find anything. Anyone know of any investigations trying to measure ntfs vs other *nix fss? I know that it is a bit like comparing apples with oranges but might be nice. NTFS is a variation of VAX/VMS' original filesystem. Internally at DEC it was known as ODS2 (On Disk Structure 2). NTFS is a simplified version of this, keeping the ACL and journaling abilites while eliminating some of the more useful (IMO) features - auto-versioning. As to comparing it...NTFS is a robust filesystem, but it's not usable under Linux...well fully usable. And under WinXX, the os limits it's usability. If you wish a real version, I suggest OpenVMS. As to performance, WinXX, in some versions, has this idle loop that limits all filesystem i/o performance. Personally, the more interesting filesystems are - BeOS, RiserFS, and XFS.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Weird apache2 stuff
Thanks, worked like a charm! I wonder how apache2 could have been restarted manually though. Should I be worried? Issuing a '/etc/init.d/apache reload' while apache is not running will start it in such a way that a later issued '/etc/init.d/apache whatever' will behave as apache was not previously started. So this could happen if you do not start apache automatically at boot and are 'reloading' apache after rotating logs thru logrotate, for example. That must be what is happening. I'm having problems with logrotate. I'll start a new thread about that. - Grant Yoann Pannier -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] logrotate trouble
logrotate doesn't seem to be rotating my logs properly and I'm having
some apache2 problems that must be related to my use of postrotate in
logrotate.conf.
In logrotate.conf I have this:
daily
rotate 4
create
include /etc/logrotate.d
notifempty
nomail
noolddir
Are daily and rotate n defaults? The configuration examples I've
seen specify daily and rotate n in the log config sections.
My log config sections are like this:
/var/log/apache2/access_log {
daily
rotate 99
postrotate
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
endscript
}
for access_log, ssl_access_log, ssl_request_log, error_log, and
ssl_error_log with apache2 restarting for each. I'm thinking that is
pretty bad. Can anyone give me any pointers on this?
- Grant
P.S. logrotate.conf came with this:
/var/log/wtmp {
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}
What is that?

It's best to ensure that the internal battery is a jell-cell 12VDC 7amp-hour battery, or multiples of this battery. So when you inevitably have to replace it, it is a standard, inexpensive part ~1000V should be 1000VA. The isolation capabilities may be 1000V, but the UPS does not use 1000V for anything.. 1000VA tells you at the voltage you are going to run at 120 or 240 how many amps it can supply 1000VA / 120V = 8.33 amps 1000VA / 240V = 4.17 amps James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

To keep the inserts responsive we have a rolling script which moves the rows to another table which isn't accessed by the site. InnoDB allows the move script to do its work without locking out the site. If you don't have some sort of strategy to empty the table daily, weekly or on a rolling basis (like we do) you'll find that your inserts eventually slow to a crawl (I've seen it happen). Making sure you only have the minimum required indexes on the table will also help keep your inserts sprightly. So in summary: * Use InnoDB * Empty the table periodically * Index lightly.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo's Bandwidth Measurement Abilities
Hello All, I need to use a portable with 2 ethernet interfaces as a bandwidth measurement device to measure the actual bandwidth used by ethernet devices. For this measurement, I inted to put the device under test and only one other pc on the hub/switch so that all other forms of ethernet/ip traffic are not present. I want to be able to route the data stream(s) into one ethernet port and out the other, with accruate measurements to verify what vendors say about the bandwidth consumption (bits/sec) of their various products. In the past I have used bwm (BandWidth Monitor) on Debian-woody. It's a bit eradic, but somewhat useful. Googling around I found bwmon(gentoo) and bwbar(debian). Any other candidate software I should evaluate to measure BW consumed? Maybe an obscure/unknown module with ethereal would work by sniffing? I've also looked at NTOP, but nothing really jumps out to measure bandwidth consumed by a particular device/session. Last, I read an article in the March'05 issue of Linux Journal about Hierarchial Token Buckets and Queuing, that is geared towords QOS and bandwidth usage control mechanisms. Maybe this is what I need to use as a basis for developing a robust bandwidth measurement tool? http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7562 Any suggestions or ideas are most welcome.

sharedscripts
postrotate

}
The sharedscripts option means that the postrotate script will only be
executed once for all files. So apache will only be restarted once.
Got it, thank you!

I thought about that, but I can access the remote setup capabilities of my router on port 8080, which strikes me as being the more likely candidate for blocking.

My log config sections are like this:
/var/log/apache2/access_log {
daily
rotate 99
postrotate
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
endscript
}
for access_log, ssl_access_log, ssl_request_log, error_log, and
ssl_error_log with apache2 restarting for each. I'm thinking that is
pretty bad. Can anyone give me any pointers on this?
You could do something like this:
/var/log/apache2/access_log /var/log/apache2/ssl_access_log
/var/log/apache2/ssl_request_log, error_log /var/log/apache2/ssl_error_log
{
daily
rotate 99
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
endscript
}
Or more succinctly:
/var/log/apache2/*log
{
daily
rotate 99
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
endscript
}
The sharedscripts option means that the postrotate script will only be
executed once for all files. So apache will only be restarted once.

[gentoo-user] Xorg and Gnome or KDE on Gentoo
I have read the DOCs, but I am missing something. I want to run X-windows on my Gentoo box (2.6.10-gentoo-r6), but so far have been unsuccessful. It is unclear to me whether Gnome or KDE need me to first install Xorg. When Gnome would not emerge without error, I tried first emerging/configuring Xorg-X11, but it will not configure correctly for me. When I run X -config, it produces a file with an extra horizontal synch line that is all corrupted. When I remove it, then X -config /root/xorg.conf.new will start and show a dotted background like I remember from years ago using XFree86. The mouse works because moving it around moves the mouse pointer (X). I can only get out of it with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, and that leaves my monitor unreadable. Do I need the X server for Gnome and/or KDE? If so, any ideas? My use flags are as follows: USE=gtk gnome qt kde dvd alsa cdr nptl nptlonly I did an emerge --sync last week.

Low end UPS's are mostly the same. The biggest issue to watch out for is to ensure that the most likely component to fail, the internal battery, is a common size, voltage and specification. It's best to ensure that the internal battery is a jell-cell 12VDC 7amp-hour battery, or multiples of this battery. So when you inevitably have to replace it, it is a standard, inexpensive part ~1000V should be 1000VA. The isolation capabilities may be 1000V, but the UPS does not use 1000V for anything.. 1000VA tells you at the voltage you are going to run at 120 or 240 how many amps it can supply 1000VA / 120V = 8.33 amps 1000VA / 240V = 4.17 amps James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Hey James, Thanks for the tips. How do you find out what bettery it uses? I've been looking at F6C120-UNV and I couldn't find anywhere in the specs what type of battery it actually has. Do you think calling the company (belkin) would be any useful? Thanks again! -Cos -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Dennis Taylor Hi Dennis, Do another sync emerge sync and then do your emerge gnome. Hopefully yuo'll be OK. Xorg needs to be emerged but it does not need to be configured to emerge gnome. We can deal with the xorg.conf problems when you show us what it did. Here's my current flags for one machine: USE=nvidia 3dnow nptl nptlonly tiff gimp gimpprint ppds usb jack jack-caps jack-tmpfs alsa dvd dvdread dvdr X Take them with a grain of salt.
