Re: [gentoo-user] glsa-check - is it any good?
The usual problem is that the version it is complaining about is really installed. Because of slots and other peculiarities, there can be multiple versions installed that may not show on some utilties when you check. Use equery l packagename, and qpkg -v packagename to check. Note that on older, crufty systems I often have problems digging out the version thats being complained about. Easiest fix is just run glsa-check -f [glsa number] in most cases Does it ever get it wrong? - not so far on my systems that I have noticed.

[gentoo-user] Multiple physical consoles
Hey guys. Here's an interesting question for you. Right now I have my computer setup in my room (Gentoo Linux) primarily for media (videos, music, and soon to be TV.) The monitor/keyboard/mouse are all sitting at one part of the room, but I'd also like use another seperate monitor/keyboard/mouse for other stuff and have that sitting on the other side of the room (not too far; a few feet is ok for a VGA cable right?) I'm not really sure what I should be googling for in order to set this up. I know I've heard of people setting up multiple consoles to one machine in the past. I'd like to be able to have 6 vt's and 1 X session running on each monitor, the respective keyboards/mice being used for the console they belong to. How easy would this be to setup? Is the combination I've mentioned even possible? This would certainly be a really interesting project, and I'll definately document what I do if anybody would be interested. Any input would be greatly appreciated :) And actually, I really would only need one X session running on the secondary console (for what will soon be MythTV) and shouldn't need any vt's. Only on the primary display would I want both.

I am wondering is there any places where Portage stashes files that it

be safely flushed.
You might wanna take a look at tmpwatch (emerge -uDav --newuse tmpwatch)
which requires you to have a cron daemon (vixie-cron is a good choice).
And if you do maybe add something like this
PORTAGE_TMPDIR=$(/usr/bin/portageq envvar PORTAGE_TMPDIR)/portage
PORTAGE_LOGDIR=$(/usr/bin/portageq envvar PORT_LOGDIR)
if [[ -d ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR:-/var/tmp/portage} ]]; then
${TMPWATCH} --mtime --all 336 ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR:-/var/tmp/portage}
fi
if [[ -d ${PORTAGE_LOGDIR:-/var/log/portage} ]]; then
${TMPWATCH} --mtime --all 336 ${PORTAGE_LOGDIR:-/var/log/portage}
fi
or something similar to the end of /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch
It will remove anything that haven't been modified for 14 days from some
common places...
Look through the other commented options found in that file as well.
If the filesystem where your distfiles is situated is mounted without
'noatime' then consider cleaning that as well...

Re: [gentoo-user][SOLVED] connrate replacement
- use tc and the QoS-Kernel-Features. I don't mind recompiling the kernel and would rather use a generic tool useful for system administration later down the road. Looks like tc is the way to go. It gives you a lot of options. It's in the iproute2-package. It has a little high learning curve, but you can do really interesting things and even simulate higher latencies. For a good introduction see the Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HowTo, http://lartc.org You can use netfilter here, too, to mark the relevant packets. Eventually I came up with a simple tc config which works for me now but the actual transfer rates are 10 times higher than I would expect: tc qdisc add dev lo root handle 1: htb r2q 1 tc class add dev lo parent 1: classid 1:10 htb rate 56kbit ceil 56kbit tc filter add dev lo protocol ip parent 1: prio 1 handle 10 fw flowid 1:10 HTB FAQ: Why HTB sharing setup works with eth0 but on lo (loopback) it exhibits weird rates ? Try to execute ifconfig lo mtu 1500 or use parameter on tc qdisc add line. It is because HTB reserves rate table for 1500 bytes long packets and loopback uses 16384 as default. Except mtu 16400 should be added to the class. Happy now. Thanks again, Hans. That was quite educational. Using firewall rules to mark traffic for routing and throttling is cool.

Exactly - have you have been around gentoo long enough to remember the elegantly simple -u and -U mechanism we used to have to control upgrade/downgrade. Instead we have a bunch of files that were initially poorly documented (when this was released), and in practise for me at least, are a backward step in application and use.

[gentoo-user] sbcl problems after power outage
I was happily using SBCL-0.8.19 together with Emacs-21.4 and Slime-1.0.20050207. However, it appears that something has gone bad with SBCL as a result of a hard system crash. (The electric company unexpectedly cut power to my neighborhood to do some maintenance work.) Upon restarting my system SBCL was unuseable. I did the following in an attempt to cleanly reinstall SBCL-0.8.19: - unmerged and re-emerged the dependencies common-lisp-controller-4.12 and cl-asdf-1.86. - (I can't remember whether I properly unmerged SBCL itself, but I pretty sure I did.) - removed the tree rooted at /var/tmp/portage/sbcl-0.8.19 as well as the sbcl distfiles under /usr/portage/distfiles. With all that, SBCL-0.8.19 still fails to build and I get this: transcript //entering make-target-2.sh //doing warm init This is SBCL 0.8.19, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp. More information about SBCL is available at http://www.sbcl.org/. SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty.

RE: [gentoo-user] Install with Netgear FA311?
Here is a follow up. I could not get any tulip-based driver to recognize the FA311. I did a web search and found that the tulip driver supported FA310 cards, but the chipset was changed on the FA311 and the natsemi driver is required instead. Funny, the Netgear driver on the CD has yet a different name, so I suspect something is different from the stock natsemi driver. Going back to the natsemi driver, I was able to get some communication through after several attempts - almost like some kind of delay caused by misconfiguration which eventually fixed itself. However even after getting pings and dns requests through, I was still seeing the eth0: PIC error 0x80 message come up repeatedly. And not getting communication working right away makes me suspicious that there could be other hidden problems. I will work towards installing a 2.4 kernel to see if the natsemi driver works any better. If not, I'll try building and configuring the Netgear driver. Are 2.4 ethernet drivers supposed to work with 2.6 kernels, or is some modification required to accomplish that? If I find out no mods are required, I could try compiling the 2.6 kernel with the Netgear driver first to stay with the 2.6 kernels. As I write this I'm thinking I should probably be looking for info at kernel.org or some kernel mailing list instead of bothering you guys with the questions here. Just wanted to keep you all up-to-date. BTW, this is a lower priority project for me.

Thanks, but I've already added those to my package.mask, but the 1.0-6111 nVidia kernel module refuses to compile on 2.6.11 and most its the release candidates for me. When I was using nvidia I downloaded the 6111 release from nvidia.com and had to modify some of the code to get it to compile for 2.6.10. Below is a note that I made for myself of the changes that I made, they'll probably work for you also: winux nvidia # cat nvidia.changes 12/30/2004 - dnebing - I modified the usr/src/nv/nv.c to do the following: 1. Replace pci_find_class() with pci_get_class(). The arguments are the same, but pci_find_class was removed and replaced with pci_get_class(). Replacement builds successfully with this change. 2. Declare __VMALLOC_RESERVE. Don't know what value it should have, but a value must be defined for it to work. I used unsigned int __VMALLOC_RESERVE = 128 20;.

Seems there are a few good ideas here. If you want to do a clean install from the Gentoo LiveCD, you might be able to do the following: Copy the ndiswrapper source code to a CD/Floppy (or, alternatively, obtain a binary version). Once you've booted into the Gentoo LiveCD, you should be able to mount the CD (if you have a secondary drive) or floppy with ndiswrapper on it and install it on your temporary system.

[gentoo-user] performance Profiling a live server
Hello, Let me start with a short introduction since I am new to this list, and you know what to expect of me. I'am not new to linux, I have been using it as my desktop for over a year, but I am fairly new to handling a 30+ serverpark which will grow an estimated 3 times this year (thats if things are slow, and I am lucky ;), any hints on keeping things manageble are appreciated but thats maybe for a new discussion, if you have some good things please start a new discussion to keep things clear. So far my introduction. I want to performance profile the servers, I want to know what causes bottlenecks, which php script is taking ages, why are we waiting for IO, which files are locked, what caused the lock, and which threads are waiting for what lock. Are we waiting for the network, is the network fast enough, is nfs being a pain? etc.. etc.. All questions i still cannot answer. i have been working with iostat, vmstat, ps, lsof. But they all seem to provide basic information, I am able to skim the surface of my problems, but am unable to find the details i need to locate the problem/cause. An example of what happend a few weeks back. Each webserver runs mysql, apache and php, and a couple of nfs mounts to put uploaded and rendered images. ones or twice a day some of these server 'locked up' unable to serve http requests (no it was nog maxClient),but if we would give them some peace then they recovered on there own. After some research we found out that there was a good amount of time spent waiting for I/O. a dozen orso apache threads had a flock status, but for which file's? and which script was running?. All information i was missing to pin point the problem. After a hunch we moved the image rendering to some dedicated servers, and this seemed to help, so we where lucky this time. But next time, new problems, new solution. And I hope you guys can help me with new tools, new idea's, new knowledge and a better understanding of whats server management/tweaking is about and how to do it.

[gentoo-user] OT - mailman problems II
I've been trying all afternoon to get some response from email requests to subscribe to my test list. I discovered after many hours of trying that the mailman daemon wasn't even running. This confused me because I started it and made sure it was started before I began trying to subscribe to the test list. My email requests to subscribe showed up in the logs as being successfully sent, but I wasn't getting any kind of response from mailman. After I discovered that mailman had been stopped, I of course started it again. I guess my subscription requests were still in the mail queue because I started seeing this printed out to the terminal prompt: bullet log # Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner, line 270, in ? main() File /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner, line 230, in main qrunner.run() File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py, line 70, in run filecnt = self._oneloop() File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py, line 99, in _oneloop msg, msgdata = self._switchboard.dequeue(filebase) File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py, line 143, in dequeue fp = open(filename) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/mailman/qfiles/out/1109975934.623035 +4cd01836ef0e6cef43795017b8bdc4487d050f37.pck' Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner, line 270, in ? main() File /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner, line 230, in main qrunner.run() File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py, line 70, in run filecnt = self._oneloop() File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py, line 99, in _oneloop msg, msgdata = self._switchboard.dequeue(filebase) File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py, line 143, in dequeue fp = open(filename) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/mailman/qfiles/out/1109976293.7504261 +b03c5d09f70bf45f9f14f551471a278c0df63795.pck' Is this something I can fix myself, or something I need to report to the mailman project? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

True, encryption requires buy-in from both corresponding parties. GPG/PGP is a pretty standard program for encrypting stuff. Enigmail is just the Mozilla/Thunderbird plugin for interfacing to GPG. A lot of email clients include support for these programs. Just make sure that the people with whom you communicate are on board.

Could be the processor or the motherboard also as both effect the way the system addresses memory. I'd borrow a different stick of ram from someone who has one and see if that solves the problem. Also, if you're mixing registered with unbuffered memory, you may have problems. I had similiar issues with that in the past. The way to tell if memory is registered or unbuffered (same as un-registered) is if there's a small chip inbetween the large memory chips, it's registered, and if that space between the main memory chips is empty, it's unbuffered.

Besides which, a lot of webmail is not overwhelmingly secure (Hotmail, for example, gets hacked fairly regularly); I'm not sure I'd want my encrypted mails there anyway. Webmail from your ISP which allows you to pre-read your mail from their servers might be a different story.
