Re: [gentoo-user] setting proper permissions on a file/webserver
Create .bashrc in username's home directory and put into it: umask 007 Then username will create files that will have -rw-rw---. If you need unique groups then you need I think set up something similar what RH has: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/ref-guide/s1-users-groups-private-groups.html Imre daniel wrote: On July 4, 2003 01:55 pm, daniel wrote: oops, i forgot one step: # mkdir directory # chown nobody.users directory # chmod 4775 directory # exit $ touch directory/asdf $ ls -l directory -rw-r--r--1 username users 0 Jul 4 13:52 asdf the result is the same, i just forgot to include that line -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] dual Xeon setup
Iwill DPL 533 mobo 2.4 and on other machine 2.8 GHz double Xeon CPUs HT enabled 1 GB memory pentium4 flag used on the 2.4 GHz machine since May. Other than OpenOffice everything else compiles and runs OK with pentium4 and gcc-3.2. I am not sure what is what somebody else refered to as things break badly with this setting. I run MySQL, Apache, Tomcat, sendmail, vftp, KDE, Mozilla and nothing seems to be broken in the last eight month. OpenOffice needs pentium3 at emerge. In any case if something fails to emerge or run the you can reemerge it with different pentium flag quickly. A 2.4 GHz Xeon machine compiles the kernel in a few minutes. :-) Imre Robert G.

I am putting together a dual 2.0GHz Xeon rig here--Foster core--with 1Gb RDRAM on an IWill DP400 mainboard. Anybody have experience with these? Do they run well on Gentoo? Right now, my system is a dual Pentium-III 933MHz rig, so everything on my system has been built with -march=pentium3. I am assuming that I will need to change to -march=pentium4, since these are Pentium4 Xeons, right? Anything else I should think about? Any suggestions for the CFLAGS? Just to double check myself, I will need to rebuild the whole system, right? Neuros -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Hyper Threading
You do not need to recompile all the system only make the kernel for SMP if you ran a non SMP system before. All other is automagically done. (Edit make.conf for the extra CPU to use it during compilation.) Also enable HT in BIOS. Imre Manuel Pérez López wrote: Hello: Well, I 've changed my system to a Pemtium IV with Hyper Threading.

Re: [gentoo-user] Hyper Threading
No it is for making user space programs threaded if they support it (I think). I do not use it and I am HT. You can check that HT is working because you start multiple kernel compiles in the background and then you can see both CPUs utilized around 99 % in "top". (Hit 1 when in top if only one CPU shows up.) Imre Manuel Pérez López wrote: Another cuestion: Does emerge need the USE flag 'thread' for compiling HT right?

Re: [gentoo-user] Linux PCAnywhere client
There is no Linux PCA client AFAIK. Choices you have: 1) Install VNC server on the Windows machine and then you can use VNC client from Linux (that is what I do). 2) Install Windows somewhere where you can access it and run PCA client from there. 3) Install VNC server on a Windows machine that has PCA installed, use your VNC client from your Linux box to get into the first mentioned Windows box through VNC and go from there to the PCA-only Windows box using PCA client of the first mentioned Windows box (used that for some time, too). :-) Imre Andrew Gaffney wrote: Ernie Schroder wrote: On Saturday 07 February 2004 01:56 pm, Bill Roberts wrote: On 12:28 Sat 07 Feb , Andrew Gaffney wrote: Is there a Linux PCAnywhere client? Don't really know. If you can find what you want, try vnc (or better tightvnc). Much better than PCAnywhere, quick and easy to install, and, if run over ssh, much more secure. I'll cast my vote for tightvnc I run my 2nd Gentoo box and a headless win98 box with it so I can use my parametric CAD program. I need an actual *PCAnywhere* client for Linux.

Re: [gentoo-user] Starting problem after 'emerge -u world'
Start from Live-CD like in installation. Mount the / to /mnt/gentoo cd /mnt/gentoo/etc and edit the files (including fstab) you need. I think if you chroot there then you can also run "passwd" and set the root password to correct again and then you can start rebooting. Imre Stephen Liu wrote: - snip - I have edited /etc/fstab same as Chapter 15 but problem still remained at booting with following warning; Warning...fsck, reiserfs for device /dev/Root exited with signal 6 Filesystem couldn't be fixed. /dev/Root is a placeholder in the default install fstab. Change it (and other fstab entries) to the actual device names. Hi Barry Thanks for your response. Now my problem is I can't edit files anymore because login 'read file system'. I can login without password. If keying in password, 'incorrect password' popup. Any solution? TIA B.R. satimis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Install Problems
I saw a couple of burns recently (burned in house) where the stage2* tarball was corrupted on the LiveCD. LiveCD starts but when you get to the point to untar stage2* then it bombs. New burns -> bombs in the same stage tarball but at an other file in the archive. (ISO used for burning has correct md5sum, BTW. File gets corrupted during burn.) I had to download the tarball when I got to that point on the installation from the internet. Works like a charm. I am on broadband, though. As for the Store CD. I have one from Gentoo. It does not even starts the installation. Machine can not boot from it. I had to download and burn a copy myself on a quality ASUS CD-RW, to get things working. So, I would not be surprised if you would have a "lemon", too.

Re: [gentoo-user] Command Prompt question
I deleted earlier posts in this thread so this might not be relevant, but if your problem is that you made changes in /etc/profile and they do not show up when you log into KDE for example then I found that creating file .bashrc in the home directory and adding line: source /etc/profile helped and /etc/profile changes were implemented afterwards.
