That's why I put > "unstable" in quotes. ;) Right on, actually, I have wanted to try the 2.0 version of GIMP. I have been hearing good things about it. Two questions if you please. 1. Do I enter the command emerge gimp-2.0_pre2 in order to build & install? 2. Will GIMP 2 exist along side GIMP 1.2 or must I remove 1.2. If they do exist side by side, what is the executable for 2 called... I mean 1.2 already has 'gimp', so what happens there? Thank you very much for the information.

[gentoo-user] GIMP 1.2 & fonts
Can anyone tell me why the fonts in GIMP look like poop? Ok, that is not a technical term. What I mean is they are not making smooth edges on the rounded numbers/letters. Do I need to emerge with a certain flag enabled or disabled? Thank you. Adrian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] OT: The beauty of 2.6 going back on topic, maybe....
As a new user of Gentoo, may I ask a dumb question... How would one go about trying this new kernel? I imagine I need to emege something, then run menuconfig and compile, but are there instructions someplace on just what to do? And will I be able to save all my 2.4 related files in case something goes wrong?

RE: [gentoo-user] perfomance 2.6.3 <= 2.4 B.S.!!!!!
No I am not going to have you banded because this is your own opinion. Your allowed to have one, I actually value that you have your own opinion cause if you didn't this would be a very bland and borring world. You talk about me getting off my high horse but you jump so quickly I wonder if you think about what your saying let alone what you are reading. Claiming that you are God, Emperor or General of a Linux group sounds like someone who has had their feathers ruffled and wants to feel good about themselves. I have read your previous posts and they read like rants and not common questions. I don't doubt your claims cause I haven't tested them either way and with the way computers are things can differ so drastically I am not going to get involved cause I am happy with the way my machines and network perform when running Gentoo or any other distro. To sum up. I don't mind if you post your kernel problems here but what to me seems like trying to start an army to fix these problems is not the way of doing things. Personally I don't see a lot of difference between my 2.4 kernel machines and my 2.6 when running as a desktop because running 1/2 dozen threads really doesn't tax the machine or its software systems. A lot of this can be put down to my poor human brain and eyes can't capture the difference. You really need to think about how you say things rather than what. Get off the age thing, telling someone that they sound like a kid is just pathetic and a sign of someone who insecure in themselves. Learn to take a little criticism especially when it isn't at you but what you are doing.

I have not had problems with other kernels say on my Slackware 9.1 boxes/servers..or other computers that I install certain distros of Linux on.. ? (And I install quite a few systems each month). Other people have already piped in and agreed with me also. How can you say it isnt a Gentoo user list issue? I am using Gentoo, quite happily.. on 8 systems! And if you have followed any of my posts, You would have seen that I have pointed out exactly what is going wrong, hoping someone who knows better can post a fix. I quote: "you want someone to be held accountable for a product buy closed source, buy Microsoft where you are guaranteed to get the same every time and have some one to have a go at." /\ that above my friend is complete bull, are you some kid or something? I am a President of a Linux Users Group and I help people out with Linux everyday, I contribute to open source and to even try and tell me to "buy Microsoft" is another complete line of bull also. What gives you the right to even say something like that is beyond me. I am not looking for someone to "be held accountable" I am looking for an answer to my problem, of which is "Gentoo" related. The sources I get are from Gentoo ebuilds. So that makes it a "Gentoo" issue. I will gladly post my complaints and rants to the kernel mailing list, if that is what it takes. So what happens next? Are you going to have me banned from the list, because of my opinions? Get off your high horse and get a clue.

RE: [gentoo-user] perfomance 2.6.3 <= 2.4 B.S.!!!!!
I don't want to feed this but what it really comes down to is if your not happy use the 2.4 kernels or make friendly constructive comments on the Kernel mailing lists where a developer who has given many many hours to bring you this nice new kernel can answer and maybe resolve your issues. Remember all this is free and comes from the love and time of a select few people who have the knowledge and time to do something like this. Ranting and raving on a Gentoo user list is going to get you nowhere. If you want someone to be held accountable for a product buy closed source, buy Microsoft where you are guaranteed to get the same every time and have some one to have a go at. Open source is about choice. If you don't like one choice make another. Maybe go to a BSD instead of Linux if it doesn't rock your boat properly.

It is a *nix system. Not totally sure if it's UNIX or Linux. I'm going to guess that it's UNIX. My ISP is the college I work for. Linux would be free, UNIX cost money. Since we waste money like it grows on trees I'm sure they paid for something. This is compounded by the fact that no one in the IT department really knows much, and half of them are 19 year old students. > kppp uses wvdial to do it's work.

I don't mean to argue but are you sure? I just ask as it don't seem right. I had to install wvdial on my Mandrake system long after I had already been using KPPP. I will check this idle timeout and play with that. Wait, I'm back... there is no idle timeout. I found a pppd timeout and a modem timeout, and from reading the KPPP help thingy I don't think those are what you are talking about. I see no idle timeout. Arrgg. Thank your for your help.

Since it does the same thing with both Mandrake & Gentoo. Also I used the ISP before with a different modem and Mandrake and it was fine. And this ISP currently works fine with this modem and another modem under Winblows. So I'm pretty certain the modem is involved. I just need to figure out what to tweak.

RE: [gentoo-user] What to do when emerge cannot d/l a needed file?
My answers: 1) Not sure, I've had the same problem but since I am using a 2.6.1 kernel I don't need it. 2) use emerge -i gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r5.patch.bz2. This will insert the package name into the DB making your machine think it is installed and doesn't need to be downloaded. Emerge --help if your friend. Cheers Simon -Original Message- From: Neal Lippman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 20 January 2004 14:46 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [gentoo-user] What to do when emerge cannot d/l a needed file? So I'm not quite sure what to do here. Last night I did an emerge sync; emerge -pu world and there was a whole long list of things that needed to be emerged (including a bunch of ghome libraries to be installed as new installs, even though I run KDE and don't run gnome...I wonder what I have installed that now needs gnome?). Anyway, I went ahead and emerge -u world. The first few packages installed fine, but then it tries to retrieve sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r5. During that process, it tries to retrieve http://dev.gentoo.org/~iggy/gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r5.patch.bz2 and there it hangs. ps aux shows me that it is trying to wget that file, and that hangs for a long time and eventually times out, so the emerge process terminates. So, my questions are: 1) why isn't that file available? I can access it fine in my web browser, so I know the site is up and the file is there. Since the wget command (via ps) shows the --passive-ftp modifier to wget, made me assume wget is trying to retrieve the file via ftp and not http, but netstat shows me that the socket is actually connect to the www port and not ftp port on the server, SO, if I can retrieve the file via my web browser, why not with wget? I shoudl also note that the socket status is SYN_SENT and not ESTABLISHED, so the connetion isn't being made. 2) is there a way to tell emerge to try a different server? I should note here that my GENTOO_MIRRORS in my conf files does not include dev.gentoo.org, so somewherein the emerge sync process that server is specified. 3) Is there any way to tell emerge to just skip this part of the emerge world? I don't really need new kernel sources now anyway... Thanks. nl -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I do have Win98, and the modem is fine under that. Also I have a second computer beside this one - winmodem, connects under windows only, works fine. I can be on all day long. I have too many darn variables here. New OS (MDK 9.1 & Gentoo), new MoBo and new external modem. I needed new MoBo as the old one died, new modem as I could not find an internal hardware modem and new OS as MDK 7.2 (which i used before) is too old to run on this box I would expect. I've been using this ISP for years, so it ain't that. Actually, the phone lines are pretty crappy, but that ain't it either. It's got to be modem related or something with my configuration. There are config files in /etc/ppp but I don't know what I'm doing in those yet. I'm gonna have to hunt down some documentation on those. urrggghhh Adrian -- On The Fly Photography http://204EastSouth.com -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GAT d-@ s: a C++ UL++ L++(+++) P E- W++ !N o?

Ok, dumb question here, but do you know what log files I should be looking for? I check 'man wvdial' and it doesn't mention any log files. I looked in /etc /etc/ppp and /root for anything that looked like a log file, but no such luck. > Run emerge -f some_pkg at first, it's doing append by default, > but it will not auto start after the fail. To have such functionality > u have to make a simple script for it. What I did was this: I was trying to update my system, this is a fresh install. Well, I managed to not even get the first package which is 5M in size. I got about 60% of it, and in that time the modem hung up on my about 8 times. After reconnecting I have to CTRL+C out of emerge, then start up 'emerge -u system' again. It does continue where it left off, but as you can imagine this is not really a reasonable way for me to upgrade and install packages. > Anyway from your message it's not clear if your inet connection > works even for short time.

[gentoo-user] modem keeps hanging up
Greetings. Problem: When connecting to the internet using wvdial I lose my connection over and over and over. I get an error code 16 (the modem hung up). Anyone have an idea what might be going on? I have an external modem on ttyS0. While this is annoying, at least wvdial will redial and connect again. I am trying to download packages for upgrading & installing with emerge. When I lose my connection then it reconnects, emerge will not restart the file transfer. Since I can only keep a connection for a short time, this is proving impossible. Is there a way to have emerge resume the transfer once the connection is reestablished? Much thanks.

Re: [gentoo-user] can Gentoo be installed without an internet connection?
Ok, so I tried installing from stage 1 first, because I wanted to build my system from nothing. I didn't realize I *had* to have internet connection so when I entered scripts/bootstrap.sh I got the error message about not being able to download portage. So then I started with stage two, and after I untared it I entered scripts/bootstrap.sh I got the error message about not being able to download portage. So then I got my crap together, and tried to go from stage 3. So I untared it, and since I had read the instructions -- hell, even highlighted the commands -- I knew what to do next. I entered scripts/bootstrap.sh I got the error message about not being able to download portage. Well duh Just goes to show, there is a difference between *reading* the f---ing manual, and *understanding* the f---ing manual. Oh well. I'm learning. After that, my Gentoo install went pretty well. I still have one problem which I will be posting about soon, but over all I'm very pleased with Gentoo so far. Looks like a great distro.

[gentoo-user] install confusion
Greetings all. I am trying to install Gentoo, and not making progress. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I have used and installed Linux before, Debian & Mandrake, so I am not a total newbie, but by no means do I claim to be a master of the command line either. Here is the deal. I have the x86 and the P4 optimized versions, live CDs, both CDs for each. I have tried installing on two different computers, and from stage 1 and from stage 2. I end up with the same result: couldn't download portage-2.0.49-r4.tar.bz2. aborting I have the PDF install instructions printed out and I am following along with them. I assume I must be reading something wrong, skipping a section or just a plain idiot When I do the following commands --> tar -xvjf /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20030911.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr cp -R /mnt/cdrom/distfiles /mnt/gentoo/usr/protage/distfiles cp -a /mnt/cdrom/packages /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/packages --> suppose to arrange things so that I don't need to download this portage file? I've tried installing 5 times now, sure that I was just missing a step. Whatever it is, I keep right on missing it. Can someone please knock me on the side of the head? Thank you very much.

[gentoo-user] glftpd 1.32 and baselayout 1.8.6.12-r2
Hello .. Anyone successful at all getting glftpd to run zipscripts under the gentoo environment? Is there still a need for hacking xinetd? If anyone does have this working, please post your scripts or email them to me .. I only ask this because I still can not get my glftpd to function using zipscripts .. Yes I am aware of the bug posted on the bugs site, but none of this helps .. the forums are also of no help.. Thanks -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] xmame and keyboard issues
Whenever I play xmame, I have trouble with the keyboard. Gameplay is just fine for the first few minutes, and then I cannot stop moving. If I am moving to the left across the screen, and release the arrow key, my character keeps moving to the left. I can still jump, shoot, etc. I can also reverse direction, but again, my character just keeps moving. Just wondering if anyone has run across this, or a solution.

Re: [gentoo-user] optimum disk performance
Does forcing UDMA5 using -X69 help any? I tested both ways but didn't notice
any difference.
Does anyone know of a shell script that will test all the optimal settings? I
build a lot of systems and it's a drag always testing different settings. A
script that could probe and test a few sets of settings and output the best
possible settings would be really cool!

i dont have a /var/qmail/.spamassassin so what is it trying to do here?
what i do have are settings in /etc/mail/spamassassin that look like this ..
# SpamAssassin config file for version 2.5x
# generated by http://www.yrex.com/spam/spamconfig.php (version 1.01)

ok_languagesall
# Mail using locales used in these country codes will not be marked
# as being possibly spam in a foreign language.
ok_locales all
not sure if they are all needed ..
in my /var/vpopmail/domains/ directory i have a file mailfilter
in it is the following
import EXT
import HOST
import HOME
SPAMBOX=".Spam"
VERBOSE=0
logfile "/var/log/maildrop-filter-log"
SHELL="/bin/sh"
VHOME=`/var/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
VDOMHOME=`/var/vpopmail/bin/vdominfo -d $HOST`
VPOP=`cat $VDOMHOME/.qmail-default`
#VPOP="$VHOME/Maildir/"
if ((/^X-Spam-Status:.*YES/))
{
`test -d $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
`/usr/bin/maildirmake $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam;chown -R vpopmail.vpopmail
$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
`echo "INBOX.Spam" >> $VHOME/Maildir/courierimapsubscribed`
}
to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam/"
}
to "$VHOME/Maildir/"[/code]
it works with /var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/.qmail
which reads
> /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop /var/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter
it basically triggers the mailfilter file, creats a directory called Spam
and puts the suspected spam in that folder ..
problems?
1. it doesnt tag the mail in anyway..
2. it doesnt seem like everything is set up correctly ..
3. why is it that its looking for the .spamassassin directory?
4. is it not reading the local.cf file?
5. is my setup correct?
can anyone give me a hand with this .. as to why i get these errors in
syslog and how i can start stamping the mail as spam?
also i am running
qmail
spamassassin
qmail-scanner
courier-imap
clamav
squirrelmail
qmail-pop3d
vpopmail
this all works with no problem and spamassassin seems to be doing its job
somewhat, but how can i fix it completley?
thanks ..

Re: [gentoo-user] alsa/btaudio problem
I have done a little more investigating, and have revised what I believe is happenning. On boot, the alsa driver for emu10k1 is loaded, however, no /dev/dsp is crated at this time. Next, the btaudio driver is loaded, and it creates /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1 for the analog and digital outs. When doing this manually, the same thing happens. I can make it work though, if I do the following: /etc/init.d/alsasound start - drivers load, no /dev/dsp exists mpg123 somesong.mp3 - after playing an mp3, /dev/dsp now exists modprobe btaudio - loads and creates /dev/dsp1 /dev/dsp2 How to I get /dev/dsp to be created without resorting to my manual process?

[gentoo-user] alsa/btaudio problem
When I boot, I do not get any sound on my box. Starting KDE gives the following message: Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: can't set requested samplingrate (requested rate 44100, got rate 32000) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. I have done some investigation on this, and this is what seems to be happening: In looking at the output of dmesg, the btaudio driver gets loaded, and creates /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1 for analog and digital audio. After my bttv drivers are loaded, the alsa drivers are loaded for my emu10k1. Now when I rmmod the btaudio driver and do /etc/init.d/alsasound restart, and then modprobe btaudio everything works. /dev/dsp is my soundcard, and /dev/dsp1 and 2 are the analog/digital audio from btaudio. How do I get my alsa drivers to load before the btaudio driver when booting my computer? I tried at the /etc/modules* config files, and did not see anything there.

[gentoo-user] problem installing cyrus-sasl
I'm trying to install sendmail. One of it's requirements is
cyrus-sasl. The package keeps failing for me when I try to emerge
it. Below is a few of the last lines of the emerge log, followed by
a shar file containing the entire log. I tried emerging pam_krb5 in
hopes that this would fix the problem (my guess at what was wrong
based on all the "krb5_" error messages), but it didn't help.
For the unenlightedned, here's how to get the log file from this email.
save the entire email to a file on your linux box (I'll call the file
"email" as an example). Edit "email" with your favorite text editor
and delete all the lines from the top of the file to the
"#!/bin/sh" line, so that this line is the top of the file. Save
and exit and run "sh ./email". This will put a file in your /tmp
directory called 302-cyrus-sasl-2.1.14.log.gz. gunzip that and there's
your log file. Sorry if this is a pain, but it was a 57k file before
I zipped it up. Any help would be appreciated.

[gentoo-user] Building packages for another system
Sorry if this is duplicate. I thought I'd sent it already, but wasn't seeing it come back to me. I'm looking for options to upgrade a system that's currently running another distribution of linux to Gentoo. This system is doing production work, so I want to minimize downtime and have a way to backout the new load if I'm having problems. I have an extra hard drive that I could swap in. I've heard that there are ways to prebuild binaries from Gentoo sources to speed up an install, but I can't find them documented anywhere. Is it an option to stick the hard drive in a different computer and install Gentoo, or will it not likely boot once moved? Anyway, any ideas would be appreciated.

[gentoo-user] Creating a Gentoo kiosk PC
I was wondering if anyone has tried to build a kiosk Gentoo system? I need to build out a touchscreen system running linux which boots a minimal install, loads X - does an autologin and starts an application. I have built a RedHat box which can do this but would much rather use Gentoo since I like it alot and I can control what gets installed. I have gotten my Gentoo distro up and running with touch on the required hardware for the project but I was wondering what do I need besides Xfree in order to accomplish my task? I was reading about gdm which has a built in autologin feature but it requires GNOME or at least it tells me it does when I do the emerge. I used gdm on my RedHat box to get the autologin to work but it seems like overkill for what I'm trying to accomplish. I also looked online and found a couple good articles but they all refered to RedHat which I will try to garnish information from but any real world help would be great. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] changed USE flags, how to tell emerge what to rebuild?
Hi folks, After having changed a whole bunch of USE flags in my make.conf, how do I know what I need to rebuild? It doesn't appear that an emerge -up world does the trick. I tried etcat from gentoolkit, which does provide the USE flags that affect a particular specified package, but I was hoping for a utility that would print out a list that I could then feed to emerge to actually perform the build.

I understand what it means in this instance, what I'm saying is that it's misleading because (as was pointed out earlier), they're really treated by portage as distinct packages. In this case, the lack of an "R" may tip someone off, but that is not sufficient in all cases. In the reverse situation (someone has gtk-1.x.y installed, and they are going to emerge gtk-2.x.y), there is nothing to inform the user whether the bracketed version, [1.x.y] would be deinstalled as a result of the emerge, because the "R" flag would not apply either way. I think that it would be clearer if a different notation were chosen for "highest version installed of a different slot", and the bracketed form were kept for "installed version of the same slot". --Mirian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I've begun to install Gentoo 1.4_rc4, and I noticed that it's telling me to mount the proc filesystem with the following command: mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc I seem to recall that earlier versions of the install document had me mount it with: mount -o bind -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc And the '-o bind' was significant because the bootstrap system already has a proc filesystem mounted.

These set colors for use in gui mode (i.e. gvim). If you're using (text mode) vim from Konsole or another xterm equivalent, you'll want to do something like the highlight command below. hi Normal ctermfg=LightGray ctermbg=Black cterm=NONE The way to produce specific colors can vary depending on your terminal. If you're using konsole-16color, for example, bright foreground colors and bright background colors can be specified as BrightBlue for example. On some terminals bright foreground colors have to be specified using cterm=bold and bright backgrounds are not available. In a couple terminals, bright backgrounds can be achieved by using the blink attribute (cygwin and putty for example). If anyone is interested, I've hacked together a terminfo addendum to make this simpler. Do a :h hi for more complete docs. You can place your custom colors in a file ~/.vim/colors/whatever.vim. Start that file with: let g:colors_name="whatever" hi clear And fill the rest with your highlighting commands. Then you can put "color whatever" in your .vimrc, or type :color whatever in vim to load your color file. If you want to see the same colors in your xterm as you do on the console (which I think is nice), here are the hex equivalents to configure your xterm with. These are the colors that date to prehistoric times: 0: Black #00 1: DarkRed #AA 2: DarkGreen #00AA00 3: Brown #AA5500 4: DarkBlue #AA 5: DarkMagenta #AA00AA 6: DarkCyan #00 7: LightGray #AA 8: DarkGray #55 9: LightRed #FF 10: LightGreen #55FF55 11: Yellow #55 12: LightBlue #FF 13: LightMagenta #FF55FF 14: LightCyan #55 15: White #FF ___ Sent through e-mol.

[gentoo-user] Two Realtek NICs In One Machine (8139too)
Folks, I'm hoping someone can advise me & improve my understanding of how modules are / can be loaded by the kernel. I have a RealTek 8139 which has been installed in my Gentoo box for some time. It has always been the only network card in that machine, and it is loaded by the entry `8139too` in /etc/modules.autoload. All works fine & fluffy. Today I had cause to add a second network card, a PCI RealTek 8129 (that's: 81_2_9). The 8139too module appears to be also suitable for this card so recompiled my kernel with the appropriate additional option enabled for this module. Afterwards: [EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller # grep 8139 /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_8139CP=m CONFIG_8139TOO=m # CONFIG_8139TOO_PIO is not set # CONFIG_8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER is not set CONFIG_8139TOO_8129=y # CONFIG_8139_OLD_RX_RESET is not set [EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller # I have `cp /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.eth0` as suggested by the docs at Gentoo.org <http://tinyurl.com/7i8s>, and added a second line to /etc/conf, but `/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start` gives the same result as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller # ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.44 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth1: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device eth1: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device [EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller # What I'm guessing is that I need in some way to call modprobe in such a way that it also configures for my 8129, or at least I need to tell it where to look for it.

What exactly is emu10k1? I was told it was a collection of utilities to manage sound which is why I emerged it. If I knew they were drivers I wouldn't have used them in conjunction with the kernel. By the way, which would you recommend: the emerge package or kernel sound? I need the card for 5.1 sound with altec lansing ada 995. I do not use ALSA and do not wish to either.

I'll grant you this one. In fact I can see one instance where I wouldn't bother looking at the config file: if the einfo informed me that the changes consisted of adding the paths of package components, I would assume the ebuild knew where it installed them and got the config file correct. > For example: when an application is newly installed there may be, and > often is many options that need to be set, but we rely on einfo > colorized/emphasized notification, documentation, and the users own > knowledge and intelligence to ensure that the relevant options are > set, not by forcing them to consider each config file. > > > upgrade , we're not talking about a lot of time reviewing config > > files.

I would never make such an argument. Sorry that it came across that way. My concern is that the "improvements" don't jepordize the integrity of my system.

Assuming that the person is replacing the files with inspecting the diffs, yes. However, I always inspect the diffs so there are times an auto-replace would be less safe. > The rare user who would want to keep the old behavior of manually > approving all replacements, should obviously have that available as an > option. So I'm rare, eh? I wonder how much I would fetch at Christy's... I don't think the maintaner could be talked into removing it anyway so this is a non-issue. > Two important features for me would be the ability for etc-update to > keep config file backups from previous upgrades when the feature is > used, and also being verbose by default during the process and letting > me know what config files are being auto-replaced during the process, > so that I can manually inspect replaced config files for important > changes. Those would be important to me as well before I would consider using an auto-replace feature. Since I've thought of at least one instance where auto-replace would be useful, maybe adding the option "auto-replace all remaining config files" would be a good compromise. Then the person who doesn't want to see all the diffs could select that the first time etc-update presents him with its menu while someone like me could go through the configs like now and select the option when there are just a few left that are known safe to auto-replace. Probably should even be added as a command line option for someone who is going to auto-replace all the config files. > cheers and to you as well -- Thomas M.

[gentoo-user] Undefined reference to errno
All, I attempted to upgrade to the latest gentoo release last night, and 'emerge -e world' kept failing on me. I know at least on the latest mysql, krb, and cron packages. I kept getting 'undefined reference to errno' errors. I thought I had screwed up the upgrade, and decided to reinstall. Unluckily for me, I got the same darn error again on kerberos -- this time I have a -mysql -- so no problem there yet. I've heard that there was a change in glibc that caused this, and the problem actually lies with the packages lack of '#include '. Can I get some type of confirmation on this? Has anyone had this problem with the latest gentoo release? Thanks, -Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I know there are some replacements for > procmail, such as maildrop, but they somehow all seem to inherit > the syntax stupidity from procmail. Another poor soul who saw the very fancy stuff you can do with some strange, complicated rules and now thinks they all have to be that way... If all you want to do is sort mail to different folders based upon content, all it takes is three short lines. Here's an example from my .procmailrc: :0 * ^(From|Return-Path|To):*.(Cbmccandless|skfan127) Personal-Cheryl/ Here's the explanation... The first line indicates the start of a recipe that does not use a lock. I use the maildir structure. If you used the traditional Unix mail spool structure, then you would need a lock which would be indicated by adding another ":" after the "0". The second line is the filter. The "* " indicates that this is the filter expression. Everything after that is a regular expression. If it matches a portion of an email, the email is acted upon in accordance with the rule(s) in the third line. This filter is simply looking for any email with the userids of "Cbmccandless" or "skfan127" in the "From:", "Return-Path:", or "To:" header fields. The third line tells what to do with matched emails. You can get very fancy here if you wish. The admin account at my last contract had a recipe that watched for emails from the intrusion detection system indicating a possible security breach. When such an email was received, a copy was forwarded to all the system admins, their pagers were triggered and caused to display 911, and the breached system was disconnected from the net. Obviously I have nothing so fancy here. Because the most common action is to place the email in a folder, you tell procmail to do so by simply giving the folder name. If it has a trailing "/", procmail will use the maildir format, otherwise it will use the mbox format. As you can see, it's nice and simple. In fact, no harder than the filtering built into some email clients. On the other hand, it will allow you to create some very powerful filters and rules that you cannot do with any email client's built in filtering. You can literally do anything to your email using procmail if you take the time to learn it's advanced features. One of the top list servers used is nothing more than a bunch of procmail filters and rules. It's the advanced stuff that seems to freak people out although most would never have any reason to use it. -- Thomas M. Beaudry k8la / ys1ztm [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The directories that you are creating are being created in the file system that the liveCD creates in RAM so that you will have mount points for your hard drive partitions. As for why it says there is already a /mnt/gentoo mount point: It was probably added to the liveCD image and someone forgot to remove that step from the instructions. -- Thomas M.

Re: [gentoo-user] etc-update
Still not a good thing. There could be some new option in the config file that needs setting. Anyway, with the exception of the XFree upgrade , we're not talking about a lot of time reviewing config files. The longest I've ever spent other than the XFree upgrade was five minutes. And that was after I had been in the hospital over a month and a lot of stuff had changed. So with the present system, we're looking at 15-20 minutes once or twice a year for XFree. Add in 5 minutes monthly or 2-3 minutes if you upgrade more often than monthly (nightly for me). Does not seem like a hardship to me for the peace of mind of not having any changes made unknowingly to my system. Maybe you can get the maintaner of etc-update to add such a feature. I'll never use it. Just one screwed up config file will cost me more time debugging than it looks like I would spend in a year reviewing updated config files. * Jason Giangrande <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2003-03-06 14:29:58 -0500]: > Ian, that was my point exactly. > > I'm not saying that, by default, etc-update should update all files > automatically but being able to tell it to update all files that I know > I haven't manually changed would be a good thing. > > >>Blindly merging new config files is extremely dangerous.

AFAIK mozilla and phoenix use the same run script and when they crash I have to do 'killall -9 phoenix-bin' or 'killall -9 run-mozilla.sh'.

[gentoo-user]usb-storage -- please help me!
Longtime gentoo user, confused about what I'm seeing with usb-storage. What works: I currently have a usb camera card reader that accepts cf/sm. I have a handful of cf cards, each of which I can access as /dev/sdb1 and mount via fstab. I can swap them out all day long and not have a problem. What doesn't work: I have a usb2 hba and usb2 external harddrive enclosure with swappable drive trays (very nice!) ... watching /var/log/messages, when I plug the unit in I get a usb event but no /dev assignment. If I have hotplug running first, I get a /dev assignment and can access the disk as normal. However, if plugged in prior to hotplug running, the only way I can currently get the /dev assignment is a reboot, followed by hotplug then plugging the device in. And worse: Whether or not hotplug is running, if the device is removed (cable unplugged), the drives swapped and the device re-added, the computer still reports the same harddrive attached. It actually reports the same drive attached even when unplugged. The end result is this: once the second drive is in place, any attempt to access it results in a hang. The system doesn't hang, but the shell does and requires a reboot to clear. These symptoms appear with both monolithic and modular kernels. I'm running gentoo 1.2 with all software at latest ebuild levels, kernel 2.4.20 with latest xfs merged. Kernel options include usb, uhci/ehci/sg/sd, etc. Any clues? A RTFM is warmly welcomed if you tell me WHAT to read. I don't know if hotplug is even necessary for this, as I've never needed it for my cf/sm reader.
