[gentoo-user] bad flags -- is there a remedy?
Hello everybody, according to http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/compiling/safe-cflags/ the flags in make.conf I chose for my machine, a K6-2, are wrong. Someone here said I'm stuck with the CHOST line I chose referencing an (Intel)i386 instead of (AMD)i586 which is what I needed apparently. What are my options? -mw __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Re: [gentoo-user] ASUS K8V-X and audio...
I have an ASUS K8V-SE Deluxe (VIA 8237 southbridge), I confirm that the audio works perfectly - I even got surround out of it. But I use the onboard codec (AD1980) while I see that you have a SoundBlaster audio board, so I'm a bit confused by your configuration. Are you trying to use the VIA or the SB to get the sound? Anyway, for teh VIA: - have you loaded the right kernel modules (modprobe snd-via82xx, if memory serves)? - have you unmuted the sound (I use alsamixer for that)? BTW, is it really K8V-X? I did not find it on the Asus global site. raffaele Luigi Pinna wrote: Hello!

Re: [gentoo-user] is gentoo support Async I/O, how to enable it?
No, to enable this the Linux kernel would have to support aio...() syscalls. These still aren't implemented in the kernel. So, this is not a Gentoo problem. You can enable it joining the kernel development team and implement it. ;) Frank On Fri, 2005-03-25 at 13:47 +0800, Wenju Zhang wrote: > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] A query on POSIX Compliance
Hi, GNU Linux isn't (yet) POSIX compliant. If you need an OS which will better fit these requirements choose BSD. The only OS I know which is fully POSIX compliant regarding to IPC is True64. On Linux it's a hassle. If you need some aio_...(), what is often needed in combination with IPC ... AFAIK these functions are missing completely on Linux. BTW: There really isn't any OS for which the kernel implementations of some features fit POSIX. Mostly POSIX compliance is reached by the means of library functions and the kernel - userland interface (syscalls).

This isn't a bug report, it's an evaluation of software, and a question being whether my evaluation of performance is correct or incorrect based on other user's experiences. I describe how I patched 2 vanilla kernel's to get reiserfs4 working, so why would I report this to Gentoo's bugzilla?

I am quite sure there are bugs somewhere in it, which is why (again) I am asking if my results correspond to others results (speed).

I have a similar error, see my posting "sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4 b0rkage
with segmentation fault", March 24, 2005 12:00:57 pm GMT.
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
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${D}/$(get_libdir)" ` at a different line of emerging

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 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

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

[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

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

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.

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.
