[gentoo-user] etcat & equery
From what I can gather etcat is being phased out in favour of equery. All fine and dandy, except that etcat has functionality that equery does not that I find useful: First up is 'etcat versions'. Given a package name this lists all versions of the package that are in portage, along with masking state and also marks which versions are currently installed. There is no equivalent to this in equery that I can find. Very useful. The other is that the 'uses' command in etcat is far more useful than query's equivalent, in that it will list use flags for packages that you don't have installed yet, along with highlighting which are currently configured to be enabled. If you run it against a package that *is* installed it shows you which are enabled in the installed version along with marking which flags differ between the configured and the actually installed. These are both really useful features. The really annoying thing is that etcat uses doesn't actually work at the moment (traceback below), which means I have to install the package to find out what use flags I actually want, and then install the package again! Well, that or go looking through the gentoo files myself, but that's what these utillities are supposed to help you avoid. Yes, I know I can do an emerge -pv to see a list of the use flags, but that doesn't explain what they all mean, which etcat did. Anyone know if equery is going to be brought up to the level of etcat in these cases? Regards, -- Russ. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I can't verify if localhost is resolving to sane settings because at the moment I'am installing a new system. I'm giving Gentoo another try. But I have another question about the domainname. During installation I have to set dnsdomainname. Should I also set domainname? In my hosts file I have got the line 127.0.0.1 localhost Is this sufficient if I use dhcp to get an ip adress? When I finished this installation I'll mail again with more complete descriptions about name resolution but I think that could have been the problem. Thank's for the tip!

[gentoo-user] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4 b0rkage with segmentation fault
Any suggestions? I get this as part of an `emerge -u world`
System is a Duron 1300 installed from a stage 3 two or three months
ago. I was running with -j5 & distcc, but reset those as shown in
`emerge info` below to reproduce. Remerging now with CCACHE disabled.
I refuse to believe the problem might be bad memory, as I'm a stubborn
bugger & this machine has been up & running for some weeks, compiling
everything else with no problems.
Thanks for any suggestions,

Fwd: [gentoo-user] libpthread problems? [SOLVED?]
Without realizing it, I've been carrying on this conversation off-list. Well, after some very patient advice from Mr. Nebinger, I solved(?) the problem by recompiling gcc and then recompiling glibc.

Su is just that - switch user. I do it frequently from root to another user, i.e. I want to test some changes that I made as root and want to see what effect it has at a specific user/group level.

If I press Ctrl-D, the system does in fact reboot. If I leave it alone, the computer will shut down after a few more seconds.

Sorry I misread your original problem, and you're right - that's
strange, probably an oversight. If you're solution doesn't make you
happy and you're feeling adventurous (or desperate) you might peek at
the source for nVDash and tweek it to get rid of the slash. I've done
similar things before, and remember the hardest part was finding what I
needed. Changing it wasn't bad. But you might direct your question to
a TeX list, too, and will probably get just the solution you need in
short order. Good luck! I'll email direct if I find anything.

Partition design should be done keeping in mind the purpose of this operation : separating data types to ease maintenance. The separation is done regarding how often files are written on the partitions (the more write operations occur, highest is the risk to corrupt data). /boot (100M): written once a year with kernel 2.4, once a week with 2.6 / (10G): binaries etc, rarely written /tmp (1G): always written /var (2G): between /tmp and / swap (1G) /home (25G): to keep your own data independent from the system Notice that if you want to compile Sun's jdk you will need at least 3G in /var. > > > Thanks for your help. > > Wang -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Reiserfs 3.6 vs 4
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi to all. Very recently I have dug into reiserfs 4 (using linux-2.6.11) on a test machine I have at work. The whole goal was to see the benifits of version 4 as compared to 3.6 (speed and reliability) which I have heard all about the last few months. Now I don't pretend to be an expert on reiserfs (even though I have used it very successfully for probably something going on 2 years now), however I was not impressed by it at all to tell the truth. On the namesys site they have a whole page dedicated to benchmarks, which of course I have read, but from the results I have gotten I cannot think of any sane reason why someone would want to use reiserfs4 over 3.6. The write speeds of version 4 are moderate (single stream) .. and very good when looking at more than one stream at once, but read/delete speeds utterly and truly suck (from what I have found [link below for my review]). This brings me back to here to ask those of you who are using it to share their views and experiences. Maybe I am doing something wrong, maybe not. The first thing that I noticed after creating the reiserfs4 partition was it's size 188KB. Is this right? Reiserfs 3.6 has an initial size of 33MB's. I know what this is (journal), but is it correct that reiserfs4's is initially so small, or is something really mucked up here (explaining the very bad results)? I posted my findings on my website if you are interested to compare to. The machine I used is however a low-end machine (500MHz) with an IDE drive, as it was the only machine I could risk for the tests (in case the machine blew up, immigrated, or just vanished ;-)) So, what are your experiences / views? Oh yes, the link to my "review" => http://axljab.homelinux.org/Reiserfs_3.6_vs_4.0 Greetings Ralph -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCQv+YAWKxH5yWMT8RAhJpAJ0ZYd4fAZI5Rhi2w0WX3TzdUJ31FwCg2uEk dBx/FztdS1XZyn5XSe/ozNA= =z47U -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The resume really shouldn't be necessary for me, I hope. The merges typically go smoothly. But you're basically saying that if I keep updating for long enough, the problem will go away? I noticed that there are some provisions in place in /etc/init.halt.sh to halt a system that was booted from a Live CD cleanly. Yes... maybe a little patience is all I need. Occasinally, I wonder whether it was smart to install an unstable baselayout - but I was given to understand that it was needed for the proper operation of the unstable linux-wlan-ng - and I really did need that one. > YMMV > > James Time will tell :) Thanks! -- Juergen Fiedler JID [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Key ID B06D4779 signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I would bet money that you have some faulty hardware. Compiling packages
puts a strain on the hardware which brings these problems to your
attention in the form of random reboots and segfaults etc.
Run memtest (on the Gentoo LiveCDs) and see if the memory is ok. Check
for dust caked to the fan/heatsink on your processor.

[gentoo-user] KDE 3.4 compiling freezes machine
Hi, I've been trying to compile KDE 3.4 using [1]. It worked for kde-libs but everytime kdepim starts to compile, my machine freezes completely during the run (I mean really dead). I couldn't find anything in a log file or give you more info what exactly causes this. Is this something known or am I the only one? What can I do to downgrade again? Just emerge kde?

So that's a pretty cool idea to me anyway. What percentage of programs in portage will work when compiled within OS X? I suppose you probably have to manage things like your world file, etc., more aggressively so that you don't start upgrading C compilers, glibc's, etc.?

You shouldn't need to edit the ebuild. Simply re-emerging xemacs should pick up the change in location for libXm.

You really should try to match your CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. It's safer
that
way.
Ooops thanks for pointing that out.
$ grep FLAGS /etc/make.conf
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
# If you set a CFLAGS above, then this line will set your default C++
flags to
#CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
I had always believed that the last line above was not simply
"commented out" but was also a comment to indicate that CXXFLAGS would
default to CFLAGS, or you could set it here. Looks like I was mistaken.
In any case, setting CXXFLAGS correctly has made no difference. :(
A bit of searching suggested that dev-perl/Locale-gettext might be
responsible for stuff associated with `env
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${D}/$(get_libdir)", so I just remerged that & am
trying again glibc. Any other suggestions whilst I waitr to see if
that worked would be very gratefully received, however.

I have a similar error, see my posting "sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4 b0rkage

I originally didn't notice the similarity with LostSon's problem,
because his postings display funny on my Mac for some reason, but I
consistently get a segmentation fault referring to `env
