Good observation .. it's not even on the front page on kernel.org or on
slashdot yet ;-)

I am using the 2.6.11-rc5 version on my laptop which I cannot complain
about. I haven't gotten around to testing all the extra hardware yet (I
only installed it 2 days ago), so I guess I cannot accurately say it's
all good ... I read a post though (by Linus) that mentioned several
improvements for laptops (acpi etc).

It's simplistic but I would say every release of the kernel ought to be 
more stable than the previous one. After all, the Changelogs are very 
long and full of patches. Those patches are bound to be doing good. On a 
more practical side, I never had even one problem with 2.6 kernels... I 
think I started around 2.6.5 though and mostly ran them extensively in 
server roles without major stress. My user experience is all positive

Hi,
I feel a bit dumb here.
On my Redhat systems, when I open a root shell and have the message

With Gentoo, I get the You have new mail... message, but I don't 
have the proper application to read it (and do not know what to emerge).

When that happens with me, I usually type mutt and read them, but mutt

Then you should be fine. I'm into FPSes, and most of the ones I play
(CS, 1942, etc.) don't run on Linux. I'm not dual-booting just to play
games, so Cedega is my only choice. And unfortunately, the open source
driver doesn't export enough advanced GL stuff to support some games
(1942, BF Vietnam, etc.). So it plays a few games, but not a lot. And
the binary driver doesn't work with any games because it won't init in
32 bit color (if it were me, I'd support 32 as an emulation of 24,
which it does support).

 under /var and did not find any (I might just be missing them, but I
 suspect they are not getting where they should).

This sometimes happens when the $MAIL environment variable gets set
wrong.  The directory specified in that variable will be watched for

 Anyone want to compare notes on KDE 3.4.0-rc1?

 I've got it installed on a laptop and a desktop running on Gentoo. So far,
 only a couple of problems that I've experienced.

 1- Unable to compile kdeedu on my laptop. Early on in the build, the
 compiler falls into an endless loop in the KIG directory... I haven't dug
 real deep into this one, maybe this weekend. The 3.4.0 beta compiled
 cleanly. No such problem on the desktop.

 2- On the desktop, zero build problems, but I was unable to set the font to
 linux in the konsoles. After adding the fonts in /usr/kde/3.4/share/fonts
 via the control-center, and rebooting (yes, I actually rebooted the
 desktop) I can now set the desired font. Had no such problems with the
 laptop...

 3- On the laptop, changes made to konsole settings were not being
 remembered between reboots. I ended up deleting ~/.kde3.4 fixed it. No such
 problems on the desktop.

 I found it interesting that at no time did both machines display the same
 errors or bugs. Odd? Yup. Both are current ~x86, gcc 3.3.5, etc...

 Anyone else?

 As for KDE as a desktop... Wow. It looks great, performs well and it makes
 me drool thinking what KDE 4.00 is going to look like.

 That said, Cheers all and good night.

Well known problem with firefox/gecko and /.

IIRC it happens because the gecko engine starts rendering the content
before receiving all of the data, which is not a particularly bad
thing, because on most websites it means you will get to see the
webpage a little earlier especially if your net connection is slow. 

Unfortunately, with the way /. is written, while perfectly valid html,
when the browser starts rendering too early, sometimes space are
allocated wrong on the display agent (has something to do with the
fact that the space for the side panels are allocated dynamically or
something... anyway the important part is that the width for the side
panels is not hard coded) and pushes content that comes in AFTER the
rendering started to other places: i.e. to one of the black background
areas around the border.

Now if only slashcode is build using some sane CSS...

/. are the geek mecca. You cant seriously expect them to bother with
such trivialities as standards :P

Incidentally, you can disable the behavious you mention, although the
strange thing is that by default it is disabled. IE firefox waits for a
period of time before starting to render the page. This might explain
why I havnt noticed this problem.

115 errors on one page is definitely not perfectly valid html :P

Actually the reason I bring this up is not to drill your opinion into
the ground (nothing personal), but it goes back to when I often used
dillo to surf with. Dillo, like many other browsers had big issues
rendering slashdot. We did a lot of searching around then and found it
to have terrible code. There were several compaints sent to slashdot to
at least try fix their code. It seemed then only to get worse.
Eventually we gave up, and they seem to have blocked validation services
from showing just how bad their code actually is.

All I'm trying to point out here is that you cannot base *any* browser
on slashdot's code... that is unless you are testing for crashes ;-0

 IIRC it happens because the gecko engine starts rendering the content

 Unfortunately, with the way /. is written, while perfectly valid html,
 when the browser starts rendering too early, sometimes space are
 allocated wrong on the display agent (has something to do with the
 fact that the space for the side panels are allocated dynamically or
 something... anyway the important part is that the width for the side
 panels is not hard coded) and pushes content that comes in AFTER the
 rendering started to other places: i.e. to one of the black background
 areas around the border.
 
 Now if only slashcode is build using some sane CSS...

There might be a problem with ./ but this behavior wasn't effecting
Firefox 1.0.0 (at least in my case).
So Firefox 1.0.1 must have done some negative improvement that is
causing this effect :-/

To the best of my knowlege, none; afaik, this relates to the transition 
between the 2004.3 profile (under which development-sources is the 2.6 
series kernel from kernel.org, and vanilla-sources is the 'default' 2.4 
series kernel), and the forthcoming 2005.0 profile (under which the 2.6 
kernel becomes default, so vanilla-sources refers to the 2.6-series 
kernel from kerne.org, and development-sources... goes away, I guess, 
unless it becomes a reference to *real* development sources, like 2.7/2.8).

So I would imagine that they both point to the same kernel, but this is 
a transitional phase until the 2005.0 profile is actually released.

Corrections gratefully accepted, but I think that's how it's working atm.

Since they really point to the same packages, if one is already using 
development-sources and linux26-headers, it's possible to have them with the 
new names, using an appropriate /etc/portage/package.unmask file.

That's what I did (sort of mini-howto, Works For Me (tm), FWIW):

- I had development-sources-2.6.11_rc5 and linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r2

- emerge -C development-sources 
- emerge -C linux26-headers

- echo sys-kernel/vanilla-sources ~x86  /etc/portage/package.keywords
- echo sys-kernel/linux-headers ~x86  /etc/portage/package.keywords
(just changed the old development-sources and linux26-headers entries)

- echo sys-kernel/vanilla-sources  /etc/portage/package.unmask
- echo =sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2  /etc/portage/package.unmask
(the latter I did since I don't want linux-headers-2.6.10 yet)

- emerge linux-headers (brings in linux headers 2.6.8.1-r2)
- emerge vanilla-sources   (brings in linux-2.6.11_rc5)

and I have the same setup as before, but with the new names.

Well known problem with firefox/gecko and /.
IIRC it happens because the gecko engine starts rendering the content

thing, because on most websites it means you will get to see the

Unfortunately, with the way /. is written, while perfectly valid html,
when the browser starts rendering too early, sometimes space are
allocated wrong on the display agent (has something to do with the
fact that the space for the side panels are allocated dynamically or
something... anyway the important part is that the width for the side
panels is not hard coded) and pushes content that comes in AFTER the
rendering started to other places: i.e. to one of the black background
areas around the border.
Now if only slashcode is build using some sane CSS...

There might be a problem with ./ but this behavior wasn't effecting
Firefox 1.0.0 (at least in my case).
So Firefox 1.0.1 must have done some negative improvement that is
causing this effect :-/
1.0.0 in my didn't bring up empty frames, but it did often put part of

I believe you need a DEVICE specification per array.

One of my boxes has an mdadm config, due to an external kernel module for one 
of the controllers, the others have no need as the kernel autodetects them.
This is the config

DEVICE partitions
ARRAY /dev/md0 uuid=8ef83d67:79b230ba:6cc967c3:208b9224

DEVICE partitions

Yes, I have DEVICE and ARRAY lines in mdadm.conf - see the grep commands
at the end of my previous post.

I have managed to get something working but its not quite right.

I had an existing disk with a Gentoo install image on it and an empty one.
So I made a RAID array out of partitions on the empty disk (only one
partition per RAID device). I then mounted and copied files across from
the install disk into the RAID devices - this worked fine.

Now what I want to do is add the partitions on the install disk to the
arrays Ive created so that there are two partitions per RAID device. So I
ran fdisk on the install disk, marked the partitions as Linux RAID auto
and then tried to add them to the array.

Right now, I can assemble the array but the added disk is marked as a
spare instead of a mirror:

livecd dev # mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 1 drive and 1 spare.

livecd dev # cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [raid6] [raid10]
md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1]
  56128 blocks [1/1] [U]

unused devices: none


I tried stopping the device and editing my mdadm.conf to reflect the
changes I made (see grep lines in previous post) but this doesn't work. I
think I need to do an additional step to get this working?

(Im doing it this way because I dont want to have to do a Gentoo install
all over again on the RAID drives...).

 Umm, *cough* *cough* ;-) ... not nearly close to being remotely true
 here  Slashdot is so bad that they have even blocked the W3C

 File: Slashdot.htm
 Encoding: utf-8
 Doctype:  HTML 3.2
 Errors:   115
 
 115 errors on one page is definitely not perfectly valid html :P
 
 Actually the reason I bring this up is not to drill your opinion into
 the ground (nothing personal), but it goes back to when I often used
 dillo to surf with. Dillo, like many other browsers had big issues
 rendering slashdot. We did a lot of searching around then and found it
 to have terrible code. There were several compaints sent to slashdot to
 at least try fix their code. It seemed then only to get worse.
 Eventually we gave up, and they seem to have blocked validation services
 from showing just how bad their code actually is.
 
 All I'm trying to point out here is that you cannot base *any* browser
 on slashdot's code... that is unless you are testing for crashes ;-0
 
 Greetings
 Ralph
 

Actually, running the /. homepage through htmltidy showed that it is
completely valid: 136 warnings and no errors. The warnings are all of
the type empty font or p or font elements not being closed (but
shouldn't really matter with proper scopes). Some others are reminents
of /code, or tags missing suggested fields (for example, summary for
table, I personally never used that...). As I said, any competant
engine should be able to render the HTML (it works just fine in lynx
and links (and it actually renders BETTER in links than in firefox for
that matter)), which I take as meaning further evidence that the html
is VALID. Note that VALID doesn't mean IDEAL. The w3c validator AFAIK
makes noise as long as you don't follow their suggested practices (why
should I put an ALT tag for an image if there is a caption clearly
labeling the picture as such?). Of course, it is best to conform to
the standard as much as possible, but slight and minor deviations like
in the case of slashdot does not harm its validity. (Actually, the w3c 
validator also screams at news.com.com.com.com.com, and it renders
just fine on most any browser I use). 

(going on a tangent here: the HTML validator really isn't the best
tool here. For example, if you had bothered reading your 115 errors,
you'd have realized that the vast majority is due to the  characters
used in URLs, that cuts it down to around 50. And if you ignore the
one's due to w3c's deprecation of certain older attributes, and the
ones generated from the use of inline style sheets (which
unfortunately, HTML 3.02 does NOT support officially, but 4+ do), and
the ones generated from silly comments like % is not allowed in
width or # is not a literal character, you are down to 20 or so.
Now some of them are just weird: what the heck is nobr anyway? But
the rendering engines are supposed to ignore tags that they don't know
about anyway (think lynx). The rest are issues with scopes: what tags
are allowed to go inside of what else, which hardly anyone follows to
the letter, and shouldn't affect rendering... In fact, none of the
errors the validator produces has anything to do with BAD HTML code*,
nor anything to do with why /. does not render properly in firefox 5
out of 6 tries.

If you are a web designer, you are much better off using HTMLtidy to
check your source to make sure it is sane and parseable...)

However, just because the code is valid doesn't mean that it would
look nice, or that it would render properly (as in, the way we like
it) on all agents. It's just like coding in any other language: you
can write something syntactically correct that doesn't do jack when it
comes to solving the problem it is supposed to solve. In this case /.
chose an extremely bad design and very incompatible with Firefox, but
in a sense it rendered like the code told firefox to render it...

What I am trying to say here is not to disagree with the fact that /.
is broken, but that it is broken not because of Invalid HTML, but
because of a bad design philosophy. It renders. But often it renders
poorly. And thus should not be something to test your browsers with. 

Sorry to make such a big rant on the pedantics of code validity, and
of course, nothing personal, but I really want to make a point
distinguishing VALID code and PROPER code. Remember: just because it
compiles doesn't mean it does what you want it to. 

Best,

Re: [gentoo-user] Where is (and how do I read) root's mail?

2005-03-02 Thread darren kirby
quoth the ME:
 Hi,

 I feel a bit dumb here.

 On my Redhat systems, when I open a root shell and have the message You
 have new mail in /root, I just type mail and there I am reading the
 messages on the command line.

 With Gentoo, I get the You have new mail... message, but I don't have
 the proper application to read it (and do not know what to emerge).

 Moreover, I am not able to find the messages!  I looked under /root,
 under /var and did not find any (I might just be missing them, but I
 suspect they are not getting where they should).

 Can anyone let me know what to install / setup to get this going?
 BTW, I have installed metalog for system logger, if that matters.

 Thanks.

 Marc

Well, to put in my 2cents, what I do is edit the /etc/mail/aliases file so 
that root's mail resolves to my normal user account and read it there...

Why screw around with two different clients just to read your cron report?

Hi all,

I have a bunch of *very* old 386 and 486 which I want to use only to 
display some images an alike. Problem is, those old graphic cards are not 
VESA 2.0 capable, so they do not support framebuffer.

My question now is: Are there any other possibilities to display graphics

1Accreddited gives me a text box, a combo for which

What should the MX record be?  There example says

 Yes, I have DEVICE and ARRAY lines in mdadm.conf - see the grep commands

per array :)

 I have managed to get something working but its not quite right.

[snip]

 So I 
 ran fdisk on the install disk, marked the partitions as Linux RAID auto
 and then tried to add them to the array.

Perfect. Compile the raid and scsi drivers in, and you can forget about 
mdadm.conf.

 Right now, I can assemble the array but the added disk is marked as a
 spare instead of a mirror:

 livecd dev # mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
 mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 1 drive and 1 spare.

 livecd dev # cat /proc/mdstat
 Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [raid6] [raid10]
 md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1]
   56128 blocks [1/1] [U]

 unused devices: none

Right, so the arrays you created in fact only had one partition in?
Now you're trying to re-assemble those arrays, but using 2 partitions?
If I'm understanding you correctly, that won't work. But if you create an 
array using the partition that is/was in an array it should sync the data 
already on it over to the next one.

 I tried stopping the device and editing my mdadm.conf to reflect the
 changes I made (see grep lines in previous post) but this doesn't work. I
 think I need to do an additional step to get this working?

The superblock contains all the information needed to assemble arrays, so 
perhaps it's overriding you configuration?

 (Im doing it this way because I dont want to have to do a Gentoo install
 all over again on the RAID drives...).

I sucesssfully converted my /home partition into a mirror like this.

 It reported that it found an ext2fs on the partition and then proceeded
 to rebuild the array. I did the same for the other devices and all got
 rebuilt and luckily it looks like it preserved all the file-systems too:

I believe the application you're looking for is mailx, The /bin/mail program.

I think messages are stores in /var/mail, don't take my word for it though.

[gentoo-user] Thunderbird RSS problem

2005-03-02 Thread Christoph Gysin
Hi
I'm using mozilla-thunderbird-1.0 for reading RSS feeds. When selecting 
an article, thunderbird only displays the title of the article in the 
message window instead of loading the web page. On another system 
(debian unstable) it works as expected.

Is this a gentoo related issue? Or is it just a broken configuration? 
Does it work for anybody out there?

I haven't found anything on bugzilla about this.

 I think messages are stores in /var/mail, don't take my word for it though.

Where the mail is stored will very much depend on where it is coming
from and what mta/lda is delivering it, or more particularly how the
mta/lda is configured.

the standard for unix mail is to deliver to an mbox file of the user's name 
in /var/spool/mail, so all of root's mail would be in a file named
/var/spool/mail/root, in mbox format. I see on my gentoo server that
/var/mail is a symlink to /var/spool/mail, so we are both right :-)

However unix systems are very configurable, and if you are using a
particular imap or pop server such as courier or cyrus you will not want mail 
set up that way. in that case, courier wants to serve up maildir
format files, and you would set up your mta/lda to deliver to something
like ~/.maildir/ (but configurable to be anywhere sensible)

Cyrus has its own mail format which its deliver binary takes care of,
the mta/lda delivers to the deliver binary, which puts the mail in
somewhere like /var/spool/imap/user/$USERNAME/ (again configurable)

so where is my mail depends on how your system is set up. So far those are 
only examples. But the best advice so far in this thread is to alias
root's mail to the user who will be reading it.
