[gentoo-user] Creating mysql tables type=innodb
Hi, This may seem a little off-topic but I can't seem to get my hands round this. I emerged mysql 4.0.14 with USE=innodb in my make.conf; which built just fine. I created a database and added some tables using type=innodb and started working with them just fine. Yesterday morning I noticed the tables were recognised as MyISAM. I tried to change them (eg: alter table aliases type=innodb;) and my alter queries run perfectly (no errors) however the tables still are 'MyISAM'. I've even re-emerged mysql (and seen the innodb stuff get included) but to no avail. The documentation available on the mysql website does not express any special requirements other than 4.x version. What am I missing? Cheers! Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] Creating mysql tables type=innodb
FWIW, a little TOP post on my own post. Seems to be a TOP TOPIC nowadays ;) TOP/HOT Getit?? I've finally figured out the innodb problem. Thanks to everybody who helped. I'm unsubscribing from this list, it really hasn't helped me much and as much as I like to help others, I've been flooded with: 1. SPAM 2. Mails ranting about spam 3. Mails ranting about top-posters 4. Mails ranting about spam and top-posters 5. Mails about TV commercials in the US (lost count of the precise numbers, there are s many). Personally, I think this is a load of gobblesmack and the list is full of trollers looking for arguments. Good luck to you all. Call me when you get down to serious stuff. Here's IBM motto for those that are about to send nasty replies: Think!

RE: [gentoo-user] Postfix and SASL problem
I installed Postfix first and Cyrus SASL as the next :-(. I have tried to unmerge Postfix and merge it again but it has no effect. How can I tell emerge to compile postfix with SASL? Try USE=sasl Cheers! Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] courier-imap or cyrus-imap
It doesn't matter, imap is imap as far as the mail reader is concerned.. Its a choice of Maildir to mbox really as far as the server. IMHO, the RFC defining IMAP is not very well written and gives to multiple different interpretations of how IMAP should be implemented. Hence not all IMAP servers work well with all IMAP-capable clients. Often IMAP server developers include little tweaks in order to recognise ill-behaved (?) clients and 'talk' to them suitably. Courier-IMAP and Cyrus are both good products. Another aspect is the storage system. This is regardless of IMAP/POP. I can think of three methods: maildir, mbox and databased. Maildir is pretty solid in the sense that mail messages are stored in individual files; personally I am currently playing with the database option (using DBMail, which is not in Portage but it is very easy to compile and setup). A combination between any SMTP server (top 4 in no particular order: Postfix, sendmail, exim and qmail) and Courier-IMAP or Cyrus will work just fine. These are not configured quickly and fast, so get ready for a bumpy ride. If you're looking for something simple and quick, take a look at extremail (it is very easy to setup and in my experience, rock-solid). Cheers! Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] iptables and linux 2.6-test9
Hi Redeeman, hi, i am running linux2.6-test9, and i want to use iptables, i read the gentoo ip masqurading guide, but, i am wondering about the stuff kernel side, i only want to filter some ports, and forward some ports, what stuff should i enable in the kernel? and after that, should i emerge iptables? (is iptables a program needed to use the iptables stuff in kernel?) I added all kernel options under netfilter (excluding ipchains and experimental stuff) as modules. The iptables in Portage wouldn't compile on my hardware so I downloaded the latest available from the iptables website, compiled and installed that successfully. Then used turtlefirewall to configure my firewall rules. Cheers! Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Different CPU priorities for processes - HOWTO?
Hi, A really nice feature I enjoyed using in my old HP3000 was having different CPU queues that had different CPU priorities. During configuration, you could define which processes (users, housecleaning, database, etc.) go into which queue. Critical apps got higher priority, users got medium priority and night batch runs got low priority. Is this type feature available in Linux? Cheers! Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] Different CPU priorities for processes - HOWTO?
Is this type feature available in Linux? thinking of something like the nice command: nice -+19 command, to set lowest priority, and nice -0 for highest priority. -- Sigurd Stordal master in Petrology/mineralogy President of GOGS Opuscreator VS in DNM95 Thanks.

RE: [gentoo-user] cant log in after kde update
Chris, I had the same effects the other day. In my case it was because my users home directory did not exist.

RE: [gentoo-user] New to Gentoo. 2.6 kernel question....
My system is building glibc 2.3.2 ( in the bootstrap part of the install). My question is, I want to run a 2.6 kernel and I was wondering if anyone is using a 2.6 kernel with the NVIDIA drivers and KDE? If so, is there anything that I need to know to get things running? Any help would be great! Let me know how you get on, I am right in the middle of the same process finding it real hard to compile glibc (also bootstrap process) with nptl support (it complains it doesn't have the kernel headers). I read the forums before I started and found that Nvidia video driver runs sluggish unless nptl is used. Cheers! Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] wine'ing some games (OT)
Matt, Here's a new concept for you: If you want people to respect you, then try to respect them. If you don't respect others, you deserve what you get. It's your choice. In public, people normally follow a code of rules called 'ethics'. In private you can do whatever you like. I think THIS is fair.

RE: [gentoo-user] Re: wine'ing some games (OT)
Björn Lindström: I'm pretty sure that what words I use or not has nothing to do with my ethics. Seeing the word CENSORED hasn't harmed anyone. If you think you (or your over-protected daughters) might be the first, then make a appropriate procmail rule, and stop buggering us about it. Heh, this all started because someone put an ill-sounding word in a mail and someone else complained. Then a third person sent another mail telling the 2nd person to go 'play hide'. After which, I butted in and suggested that we must respect each other and put my case to rest. (you can follow the thread for the details). You are now turning this into an issue. Why don't you go blame the others? This is growing completely out of proportion. Enough said. Cheers! Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] NTP setup
My Gentoo box can't keep the time (it did when it ran SuSE, so it's not a HW problem), so I've emerged ntp and got the ntp-client and ntpd in the /etc/init.d (both have been added to default runlevel. Dependencies: first ntp-client and then ntpd). I've configured both (ntp-client in conf.d and ntp in /etc). However ntp-client fails to run during startup (It works fine if I run it manually) and the ntp.conf file gets overwritten on boot up, so no matter what I put into it is no use and I can't find what is overwriting it or from where. Hints anyone? TIA, Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] NTP setup
just change to time.nist.gov in /etc/conf.d/ntpclient and do: rc-update add ntpclient default Humm. I could have sworn I had done the rc-update add ntp-client default. But that fixed it. Thanks! It also fixed the overwriting of /etc/ntp.conf. Cheers! Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] cannot mount DVD's
I just discovered that I can't mount DVD's with Gentoo. I'm on Gentoo 1.4 kernel 2.4.20 (gentoo-sources-r8) The drive is an LG IDE and works with the discs I tried under Mandrake. Both Mandrake and Gentoo use ide-scsi for this device. I get the message no medium found, no matter what I do (mount with filesytem options...) Funny. I have the same brand DVD and same kernel. I had some problems mounting as a normal user but not root. I had to find the right /dev and add it to fstab, problems gone. If you've enabled ide-scsi for it, then it should be symlinked somewhere under /dev/cdroms. Cheers! Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Advice request on Gentoo+kde+nvidia using GRP
Hi, I'm pulling my hair out. I've been at it all f***ing day! Reinstalled gentoo several times today. My problem is with gentoo+kde+nvidia. This is the 3rd major attempt at installing gentoo (1st time was back in the 1.4_rc2 days with my laptop with VIA samuel CPU, everything was compiled for i686 and wouldn't boot; 2nd time was in a vmware virtual client running on W2k; 3rd time is today). I have previous experience with Linux since '95 - Slackware - and lately with SuSE. Current situation: I have gentoo running gentoo-sources kernel working fine. Installed X and nvidia glx+kernel and tried startx: worked fine. Did an emerge -k kde (installed from CD2), worked fine. Then tried to run kdm and it doesn't give me the login screen; the nvidia splash screen flashes a few times and I return to the # prompt. What am I doing wrong? Any advice before I pop the SuSE DVD back in is appreciated. Cheers! Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] Advice request on Gentoo+kde+nvidia using GRP
The first thing to do is look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log. Either cat the wole thing or do: cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log | grep (EE) The latter will just print out the errors to the screen. This should give you enough info to fix it. If not, post that output back here. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free Great idea! I had forgotten all about the logs. It all boiled down to (not) managing 24bit colours. Although the card supports 24 bit colours and startx couldn't care less, kde seemed to have trouble with it. I'm a happy puppy. Cheers!
