I need to disagree. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 (Pentium 4 1.8 Ghz), and originally I installed Gentoo with pentium3 (because of the warning in make.conf). Months later, reading the forums and the mailing list, several people commented that the pentium4 flag was not dangerous at all. So I recompiled everything again using pentium4. Correct, if you're using gcc 3.3.x (which is still in ~arch) - with gcc 3.2.x (which is in arch), things will break badly. My system has no problems since then and, more importantly, it feels much more faster and based in timings to compile big packages, it's actually faster (so is not only in my head; genlop -t shows significant improvement when compiling). Didn't expect this, but if you're ~arch definitly worth a try :-) -- Dennis Freise [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG key fingerprint: 2DE8 CCEF 6E20 11D4 3B27 21EC B0BA 1749 D2C8 38ED Get my public key at : http://www.final-frontier.ath.cx/gpg_public_key.txt pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

So are you saying that Netstatand Route somehow says no matter what subtract -40 bytes for IP and TCP headers? Somehow that seems just as strange as your output of MSS ='ing 0.

[gentoo-user] KT400 AGP-4X (Radeon 9800 Pro)
Hi. I posted this a while ago, but didn't get any helpful answer there... I've got an ASUS A7V8X mainboard, which has a KT400 chipset, and I've got a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card. I can't get this working with X and any other driver than the vesa-vga driver :( The problem is, that the agpgart-driver, which is needed for the ati-drivers, does not support agp3 (agp-4x) which is by default enabled in the Radeon-card. I googled _a lot_ to find any suggestions, and I found many ways to disable agp3 in the mainboards bios, but that's not what I want. I've got winxp on another partition, and that benifits from that mode, so I want to leave it enabled at least for that OS. I do not need 3d-acceleration under linux, but something more than 60 Hz on the x-desktop would be _really_ nice :) Now my question: Has anybody got this kind of hardware-combination running with any other (better) X-mode ? Which kernel do you use ? Which drivers do you use ? Greetings, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'd find that degree of slowness quite unacceptable - mine takes a few seconds to synchronise.

If I go straight to a folder with 100 new messages, then, I guess it takes 20 seconds or so to read the first new messages. But that's the longest it ever seems to take, because Mail.app caches messages stored on an IMAP server. I just installed sylpheed-claws and found out, that it's _way_ faster when entering folders. But it blocks while checking for new mails. :| So, back to the old question... which mailclient fits best for me... I would really like sylpheed-claws win32, if it would not be so _extremely_ slow :) Well, I hope you find it useful. Since my mail client allows me to do searches, that suggestion would work for me.

I just wrote a little bash-script and a very litte C-helper program to accomplish, what 'emerge -e world' cannot do at the moment - it re-emerges every installed package, without falling into a neverending loop. It does this by passing every package _alone_ to emerge, and so it avoids the 'emerge -e'-bug. It writes a logfile for every package to /var/log/rebuildworld/ and skips packages for which a logfile exists (to give you a litte chance to exclude packages, just touch the logfile (look at /var/tmp/packages.txt for a list of packages which will be rebuilt, replace '/' with '-' and add '.log' to the end, and that's the name of the logfile) - to enforce rebuilding, you can use the only commandline parameter the shell-script has: 'rebuildworld --force') DISCLAIMER: Use this at your own risc! It will hopefully not destroy anything, but if it does, don't blaim me! You have been warned. :) Just extract the tarball and do 'make install'. The script and its helper are installed into /usr/bin/. Please use it, if you find it useful, or simply let it be, if you don't. :) http://www.final-frontier.ath.cx/rebuildworld.tar.bz2 Greetings, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Hi again. Sorry, I did package an old version :( If you downloaded the file before, please download it again - I updated the file to the current version. Sorry for any inconvinience that might have caused... http://www.final-frontier.ath.cx/rebuildworld.tar.bz2 Greetings, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Rebuild world script
Hi. I would be interested in using that very often as I've been doing the steps you mentioned manually each time. However, I don't really like the idea of it installing into /usr without knowing exactly what is being installed where. Could you please either change it to /usr/local/bin or wrap it in an ebuild? I think I'll wrap it with an ebuild (wanted to do that anyway) - first thing tomorrow :) (01:23 hours localtime) Cheers for the hard work. I'm glad it's usable by anyone other than myself :) Greetings, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] squid
Is there anything special I need to do to get squid working? After emerging squid, I did '/etc/init.d/squid start'. It initialized the cache and started. Its running on port 3128. There is an ACL line you need to change as its restricted to localhost. I can't remember which line however.. acl LocalClients src 192.168.254.0/255.255.255.0 (after: acl CONNECT method CONNECT) http_access allow LocalClients (before: http_access deny all) Greetings, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: Re[2]: [gentoo-user] Apche with PHP
You did not put ssl and perl into your USE-flags. Yeah, I added it and now both apache and apache2 doesnt want to compile! What to do now? Please be a bit more verbose... why do they not want to compile ? Errors ? Last output of emerge ? What do you mean by both apache and apache2 ? Please note that installing apache 1.3.x _and_ apache 2.x together is a bad idea (if you're trying that...). I'm currently running apache2 with all features you want (plus a few more ;)), so be sure there is a way to make it work :) Greetings, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] xfree dependancy - why?
With -Duvp xfree was a dependancy for _all_ packages :S With -uvp xfree was _no_ dependancy at all! Something smells bugish here ;) Check /var/cache/edb/virtuals. If it's not in there check /var/cache/edb/ world. I think you'll find it in the first one though. Yes, there is a bug in portage but I haven't been able to figure out under what situations it occurs. Either that or it never removes packages from virtuals. I checked both files. In virtuals I found some old kernels I unmerged, but no reason for xfree to come up. In world I found nothing unusual, just all the packages I emerged over the time. As I said in another posting, the problem was gone after an emerge sync. Thanks for your help, Greetings, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] xfree dependancy - why?
Hello. Today, as I did an emerge -uDp world, xfree suddenly was a dependancy needed to be installed. earthdawn distcc # emerge -uDp world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuild N] x11-base/opengl-update-1.5 [ebuild N] x11-misc/ttmkfdir-3.0.9 [ebuild N] media-libs/fontconfig-2.2.1 [ebuild N] app-arch/cabextract-0.6 [ebuild N] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 [ebuild U ] sys-devel/distcc-2.11.2 [2.11.1] So I did: earthdawn distcc # emerge -up distcc These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild U ] sys-devel/distcc-2.11.2 [2.11.1] Hmm. So distcc is not responsible... I did: earthdawn distcc # emerge -ep world [some packages skipped...] [ebuild N] net-misc/dhcpcd-1.3.22_p4-r1 [ebuild N] media-libs/freetype-2.1.4-r1 [ebuild N] x11-misc/ttmkfdir-3.0.9 [ebuild N] dev-libs/expat-1.95.6-r1 [ebuild N] sys-apps/ed-0.2-r3 [ebuild N] media-libs/fontconfig-2.2.1 [ebuild N] app-arch/cabextract-0.6 [ebuild N] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 [ebuild N] dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r4 [ebuild N] dev-java/java-config-1.1.1 [ebuild N] dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 [many packages skipped...] Hmpf, I don't know where to search. Python ? Was installed yesterday, did not install xfree there. freetype ? Seems to require ttmkfdir now... I don't know :S How can I find out which ebuild suddenly requires xfree ? Any idea ?

Sooo, nessus-core is it. Let's have a look at the ebuild:
DEPEND==net-analyzer/libnasl-${PV}
tcpd? ( sys-apps/tcp-wrappers )
X? ( x11-base/xfree )
gtk? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* )
gtk2? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-2* )
prelude? ( dev-libs/libprelude )
And I have -X in USE. I don't get it at all.
It's quite possible that no ebuild is broken, but something that does
actually
*need* xfree. Having X installed isn't such a bad thing anyway, if it
isn't
configured and running then it's no security risk, and useful for running
GUI
apps over ssh etc (the libs are required on the remote end).
Hm. xfree wasn't installed yet. I never needed it on that box. It's an
Pentium-MMX 233Mhz, so compiling X will take virtually forever - not even
thinking about updates... I don't see _any_ reason to emerge xfree. :)
The thing I really don't get is that no new packages are installed,
depending on xfree. The first package in emerge -uDp world is
opengl-update-1.5, so I think that that is the dependency causing all that
trouble...
earthdawn portage # qpkg -q opengl-update-1.5
x11-base/opengl-update-1.5
DEPENDED ON BY:
Nothing. Not depended on by anything. Anybody any more ideas ? :S

No output from qpkg. Bug in portage ? Greetings, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] xfree dependancy - why?
Thank you for your hints, Spider. perhaps. did you know there's a reason why --deep isn't the default behaviour of update? *Cough* Yes I knew that. But I think that's no reason for --deep to work since yesterday, and now not anymore :) however, there's likely to be something that causes it, if you're stubborn, go through qpkg -nc -I, package by package and do emerge -Duvp packageuntil you find the culprit. Yeah, I really get stubborn over this :) What I did was: # for FILE in `qpkg -nc -I`; do echo $FILE out.txt; emerge -uvp $FILE out.txt; done With -Duvp xfree was a dependancy for _all_ packages :S With -uvp xfree was _no_ dependancy at all!

[ebuild R ] net-analyzer/nessus-core-2.0.8a +tcpd -X -gtk -gtk2 -debug -prelude Make sure that it doesn't say '+gtk'. That, I believe, unconditionally requires X. I've seen the same problem mentioned on here, and it usually ends up being gtk. nessus 2.0.8a was installed a few days ago. Didn't require X oder gtk then.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: xfree dependancy - why?
One way is to add x11-base/xfree in /etc/portage/package.mask and then emerge -uDp world. It will show you which package can't satisfy its dependencies. Hmpf, too late :S I did another emerge sync hoping for a temporary problem of portage - and it was. After syncing, here is my output of emerge -uDp world: earthdawn portage # emerge -uDp world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! It's gone. It must have been some kind of error in portage this night, which has been corrected since. To be really safe in the future, I left x11-base/xfree masked in /etc/portage/packages.mask :) Thanks to all who tried to help :) Greets, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Mailinglist-archive
Hi Maybe this is a bit offtopic, since it is not gentoo-related, but maybe someone here knows something I don't :) I'm searching for an open-source mailing list archive package, which generates db-entries (preferably mysql) or whatever and provides a web interface to the archive (preferably using apache2, which is installed). A search-function would be nice :) Does anyone know a package for this purpose ? Hopefully, Dennis :) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Apche with PHP
I've put: emerge apache mod_ssl mod_php mod_perl ebuild (something)/mod_php(something) ebuild Everything compiled succesfully, but when I started apachectl start it said: [...] mod_php: OpenSSL_start_all_algorhitms - no command found in libssl.0.9.6.so [...] something like that... You did not put ssl and perl into your USE-flags. Look here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/use-howto.xml http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml Please put these two tokens into USE in /etc/make.conf and then do emerge apache mod_ssl mod_php mod_perl again. Edit /etc/conf.d/apache2 and change #APACHE2_OPTS=-D SSL into APACHE2_OPTS=-D PHP4 -D PERL -D SSL. Note the missing #. Now you can /etc/init.d/apache2 start. Maybe if you're using apache 1.3.x you have to skip some or all of the 2's mentioned above :) That should work. Greets, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] CVS server
Hello, Hi. I would like to install a CVS server one my gentoo machine, wich package should I take and how do I start the service ? First, you need inetd or xinetd. I will take xinetd for this example. Edit /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver and change disable = yes to disable = no and add only_from = 192.168.25.0/24 to the options. Change that according to the net you would like to allow access to your cvs-server from. Then '/etc/init.d/xinetd restart' the server :) # emerge cvs That installs everthing you need for a pserver. Create your cvsroot in /home/cvsroot: # cvs -d /home/cvsroot init # cd ~ # cvs -d /home/cvsroot checkout CVSROOT Edit the checked-out files in your homedir, then: # cd ~/CVSROOT # cvs -d /home/cvsroot commit You can now safely delete your copy of CVSROOT in your home-directory. HTH, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] CVS server
I did not add this line: this is my /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver file: You _have_ to add it, because the default is set to only_from = 127.0.0.1 ! Greets, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Can't compile PHP 4.3.3-r1
Hello All, Hi. configure: error: can not run test program while cross compiling If anybody has an idea... Your compiler wants to cross-compile for another platform, and tests are not supported for cross-compiling. My guess is, that you have changed your CHOST in a non-stage-1 installation or that your CFLAGS contain some garbage, which make the compiler think of cross-compiling. Double check both of these conditions, please. Greetings, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge -u world fails
Hello! !!! File is corrupt or incomplete. (Digests do not match) [...] the not-matching file digest. Does anybody have a clue on how to fix this? First of all, I would try to download the file again, to see if it's really damaged - delete the file from /usr/portage/distfiles and try emerging again - if the digest still differs, try: # ebuild /usr/portage/media-video/mplayer/mplayer-0.92.ebuild digest That generates new MD5-Digest sums for the files. After that, the emerge should work normaly. Hope that helps, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
