Re: [gentoo-user] restricted IMAP configuration

Here is a pretty self-explanatory line for burning an ISO image to a

The blank=fast portion can be omitted if you don't want to erase the

Thoughts? jlowell -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Nick, I've solved the problem but it has nothing to do with the broadcast number and setting the gateway. Initially, changing broadcast to 192.168.1.255 and leaving the gateway setting where it has always been in /etc/conf.d/net, 192.168.1.1, gives no relief. Still can't ping the outside world. But running route add default gw 192.168.1.1 and pinging the web works. I've never had to do this before to get this box to the outside. The gateway address in /etc/conf.d/net has always been right, and frankly, I doubt if changing broadcast would have made any difference either. I can test that if you'd like. The way I read it, somehow the installation program isn't doing what it did the last time I installed gentoo. I'd appreciate knowing why it was necessary for me to run this command to fix the problem when /etc/conf.d/net was edited properly. Is this a bug? jlowell Stuffed if I know, but could you give us the exact gateway line from /etc/conf.d/net? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Hi Nick, Here's the whole of /etc/conf.d/net.

I've installed gentoo probably 25 times over the last three years on various machines and have never encountered a need to use the route command to fix something. It may help to know that I ran the Feather Linux livecd with boot options set in such a way as to exclude a network configuration, configuring it with their graphical tool once I'd reached their desktop. Feather works using the self same configuration which leads me to conclude what is becoming more and more clear: That the problem is with gentoo, which worries me.

[gentoo-user] Time Zone Confusion
List,
I some how have my time settings in all messed up state.
I want to keep my hardware clock in UTC but have my Server in
America/Los_Angles
So Here's what I have
hydrogen root # grep -R CLOCK /etc/*
/etc/init.d/clock: if [ ${CLOCK} = UTC ]
/etc/init.d/clock: if [ ${CLOCK} = UTC ]
/etc/rc.conf:# Set CLOCK to UTC if your system clock is set to UTC
(also known as
/etc/rc.conf:# Greenwich Mean Time). If your clock is set to the local
time, then set CLOCK
/etc/rc.conf:CLOCK=local
hydrogen root # cat /etc/adjtime
-88918.485321 1112535620 0.00
1112535620
UTC
hydrogen root # hwclock --show --utc
Sun Apr 3 06:48:45 2005 -0.809294 seconds
hydrogen root # date
Thu Apr 7 17:25:43 PDT 2005
hydrogen root # ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Feb 12 11:15 /etc/localtime -
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles
When I say `hwclock --show --utc` it shows the correct UTC time, when I
say date it's way off. If I reboot both times will be way different,
like a few days or something. Right now I don't have clock started, see:
hydrogen root # rc-update -s |grep clock
clock |
What should I do?

[gentoo-user] Host, Schmost!
I just completed a stage1 install from the minimal 2005.0 livecd on a box that will be used as a web server. I boot without incident, run ifconfig and get a perfectly suitable response, can ping my router successfully but, attempting to reach the web, get unknown host errors. The setup here is almost trite: Three workstations with dynamic addresses behind an ADSL router/switch which doubles as a dhcp server, and the webserver mentioned earlier with a static address outside the range authorized for dynamic service and with port 80 forwarded. I have /etc/conf.d/net with iface_eth0="192,168.1.44 Broadcast 192.168.0.255 NetMask 255.255.255.0" and gateway enabled at 192.168.1.1. /etc/resolv.conf shows proper nameserver numbers. I don't get it. The workstations all reach the web without difficulty. But the webserver, nothing but unknown host errors. This same machine was working just fine before the latest install with the very same configuration. Some help please. jlowell

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't complete the install!
To cut a long story short it looks like the notorious ipv6 problem - wherein mirrorselect choses ipv6 mirrors (because ipv6 is enabled on the boot cd) but your chroot does not use ipv6. Find a mirror near you and put it in /etc/make.conf manually (within the chroot), the mirror list is easy to find off the main gentoo.org page. If that doesn't work use emerge-webrsync - once you have done that you have enough to complete the install, you don't need to emerge --sync after emerge-webrsync.

You then have ldaps over 636, ldap over 389, and the ldap for local connections. Depending on you are using ldap for, I would leave the unsecure port open.

Regards, Bryan stergaard And if you look you will see I have posted there, and got no reponse, which is about par for the course from the admins on this list. I emailed one of the list admins twice yesterday with info on the mailing loop, in the hope that it might help her sort it quickly. Not so much as an acknowledgement or a thank you. That sucks. I have often thought about offering to help gentoo more actively, perhaps volunteering to help write documentation (I am no programmer), but the attitude of many of the people round here is frankly arrogant and rude, and every time I verge on offering to help, I get put off by that sort of behaviour. At the risk of annoying people, but for your benefit in case you don't read the whole list, here is something I posted in another message to the list on the subject of the email list configuration (the behaviour I am referring to is the dumping of the list address into to: and cc: on some clients): quote i am firmly of the view that as this is the only list that I am on (of very many) that exhibits the behaviour, it is a configuration problem. Technically your config may follow the letter of whatever standard(s) are applicable, but it is causing a problem that didn't arise before robin, and therefore I humbly submit that whatever configuration option is causing this to happen should be fixed. IE the previous configuration didn't exhibit the behaviour, and on my observation didn't seem broken, so it should be kept. I know that the ideal would be to educate the users to either use different clients or use their clients differently, but frankly the fact that very regular posters are double posting time and time again, hour after hour, day after day, week after week, means that user education is not working in this case. Assuming that the frequent posters, who are regularly offending, read the majority of the list mail, one would assume that if they were capable of being educated, it would have sunk in by now. /quote I say again, no other list I am on exhibits this problem, just bloody change it back the the way it used to be, right, wrong or debateable in technical terms. what is easiest and most convenient for the majority of users, and causes the least annoyances, is the right config I'll add that I have no problem if I hit reply in evolution, nor in Becky! (my client in the windows environment). It is other peoples messages that are annoying, not anything I have to do in my practice. However if I did have the problem of my client putting the list into To: and cc: I would understandably forget to delete the extra address most of the time.

RE: [gentoo-user] Monthly BugDay reminder!
I don't think 'fixing' is likely to happen as this discussion happens frequently. It mostly boils down to the list handling being correct but some clients seems to behave incorrectly. Personally, I'd prefer if the clients handle lists properly. As would we all. But the truth of the matter is that for this list I'd bet we could find at least 10 different client programs being used, and the chances of getting them all repaired any time soon are the same as M$ open-sourcing windows xp. More importantly, I don't think it is specifically a client issue. I am very careful to look at my to: and cc: values before posting; the to: always reads gentoo-user@gentoo.org and the cc: only has a targeted individual if I feel that there's relevant information that person needs. That said, I still see many of my posts duplicated on the list, often with a significant time-lapse between the dups (i.e. 30 minutes). Sure, it's one thing to say that the mail list admins want to adhere to the correct standards, but it's quite another to annoy so many of the subscribers as to chase them off, defeating the purpose of having a mailing list at all. We've got folks generating procmail rules and all kinds of other crap just to handle the fact that, under the current configuration, tons of dups are now coming through. I admire the list admins for wanting to adhere to the standards, but at this point in time it is probably too late in the game to do so.

Secondly, since you're using -mcpu=686 yet gcc appears to be i386 based, I would guess that your system setup from the ground up is poorly set up. If you're still in the early stages of the system build, I'd suggest starting over with valid CFLAGS; trust me, having a solid foundation ensures that you'll end up with a stable gentoo box when you're done. If the system has been operational for awhile, then I think you should count yourself lucky, not emerge the glibc update, and keep your misconfigured box running as it is. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] Bug reporting questions
NOTE: Making the changes I suggest below may impact your system (especially by changing the CHOST). If you choose to make them be sure to emerge --emptytree system at least and probably the world as well. My make.conf has CHOST=i386-pc-linux-gnu use CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu CFLAGS=-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer Clearly -mcpu=i686 is depreciated. What -march setting is good? use CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer How does -fomit-frame-pointer effect the compilations? It removes the frame pointer from the execution stack. As one method calls another, a frame pointer would normally be put on the stack to assist in debugging. However, it uses space that is not normally needed for a production build, which is why it is omitted. I don't put -O[3-6] because I read that gcc doesn't always define such optimizations it falls back to -O2. Also, I don' t know if any of the higher optimizations are experimental or not. Stick with -O2 as it is the safest bet. I've emerged glibc about 4 times already. I remember a similar error occured a while ago but was fixed by a subsequent release. The toolchain is the critical part of any unix system; a misconfig on one of the components can crop up in all kinds of weird and funky places at weird and funky times. I'm also going to guess that you do not have the nptl use flag defined in make.conf; if you do not, add the nptl use flag as the nptl threads currently receive more development support than the older threads.

Says no md5's available at all, and quits. - stage 3 install : - same, even after I 'select with -o -i -b10, picking ~12 *new* servers retrying ~11 times. (Yes I mean that 'emerge --sync' hits the same 6 servers, or rather 4 of them per run, ignoring the servers I selected, or, retrying 11 times, -a -s12, recycles through same old 6.) emerge-webrsync finally found a server *I* told it to find, apparently worked, but... emerge --sync performed per previous paragraph, except different files fetched, still the io.c errors above. ... Rebooted to hdisk. Still can't get anything else, except one-at-a-time, and that has trouble. Can compile bzImage, can NOT compile modules without crash; seg-fault in various files, kernel panic in others. (SuSE 9.0 on target drive for ~10 months can compile anything, far more in a row than required to crash Gentoo-compiles, but oldconfig-bzImage does not match booted kernel, thus I will NOT patch-c. Otherwise, SuSE runs fine, always, no matter what the load.) And yes I dotted all the 'i's that I know of, in all above; 20+ years programming and everything else; I *do* know how to RTFM *follow* it. - Hardware c..: - Shuttle AN35N 400 Ultra+MCP mobo w/nVidia nForce2 chip ~6 months old. Never gets over ~45c. AMD XP 2700+, never gets over 51C, and that only once -- otherwise never over 47c. NO over-/under- -clock/-voltage. 1GB Centon RAM, as 512+256+256. www.simmtester.com for 12 hours no errors, repeatedly. Maxtor 30G hda. (Testing hd; will only fornicate with 'real' 120G when all works RIGHT.) ATI All-In-Wonder 9600 video 128MB, AGP8 Sound Blaster Live Value PCI 3Com '3c59x' NIC, PCI On-board Realtek sound nic both turned off. All BIOS parms set for precisely what I have. Precisely. - Netgear RP114 (updated) router between nic Westell modem to phone-co (bellsouth) DSL 1.5m/256k. - Drive-parts: 1) 512M dos 2) 200M linux boot 3) ~5.5G Win98/f32 4) (extended) 5) 1G unused limux (all-in-one) 6) 15M hidden dos 7) 15M dos 8) ~1G f32 9) ~1G f32 10) 1G swap 11) linux /, to end of drive; ~~20G. grub in 2). - Partitions router are NOT negotiable! I NEED correct ATI drivers to get *ALL* functionality avail on video card. I NEED Win4Lin (for W98se under linux to solve native-mode issues). I intend other things, but these two are NOT negotiable, or else I'll just have to keep running Wunnerful-Hic!-Winders98SE-HIC!!. **POSSIBLE** that the 30G hd is bad, but I doubt, rest of machine is as solid as a planet. Why crashes ignoring selected servers? PLEASE help! Thank you, Robert G. Hays -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] xorg-x11: truetype-fonts vs. type1-fonts
Depends on if you need some font(s) that are only in the M$ list. quality depends mostly on size capabilities of the intended output device... rgh Grant wrote: Nope, Type1 are high quality fonts from Adobe. Truetype are fonts introduced by M$. They are of lower quality. Frank Is it beneficial to build both of them into an xorg installation or is that a waste? - Grant On Wed, 2005-03-30 at 13:32 -0800, Grant wrote: Are the USE flags 'truetype-fonts' and 'type1-fonts' in xorg-x11 meant to be substitutes for each other? I'm running the xfs font server, and I know I'm supposed to keep my installed fonts down to those I want. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
