Not sure where they from, but I'm pretty sure it is a new occurrence. A defunct process is a zombied process. Sometimes you can kill it directly, other's you need to issue a 'kill -9 pid' command to kill it. More often than not I tend to find that I need to do a 'pstree', discover the parent process, and kill that. In turn it kills the child defunct process too. - -- Mark -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/4WyhzrmqzOOQUj8RAtfLAJ9WypIiXTzHufycH+cIzpCq4g+sKgCcD0OL AoqfpzPSbAwiwCEt1jp/6bM= =CJ1y -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I guess this all comes down to 2 philosophies on the competing ends of the spectrum. On the one side you have Mr Gentoo/BSD/Debian where you have intelligent yet configurable installation system's but ultimately you have control of your own computer. The software is written by yourself and your peers in the open source community and so 'holes' are picked up and fixes available very quickly. On the other side, you have Mr Windows who does everything for you, as a result you are unsure of exactly how it is all put together and so troubleshooting is often unintuative and results in a fresh installation as frankly it would be quicker. You are ultimately trusting your systems to their programmers. When there are security problems you must wait for them to agree and to make the fix avalable. Then there are the distro's blurring the distinction like Mr RedHat and Mr Mandrake who, while are strictly Linux, have a large amount of automation like Mr Windows. For someone like me, who likes to remain in control of their system, by definition that system has to be largely un-automated. For the next person [like the article writer] who are less concerned about the inner workings, automation scripts are ideal - as long as they work (!)[have you ever tried to fix a Mandrake box whose script's have failed?]. It's just horses for courses isnt it? I hope Linux does continue for many years to come, and that it leads to Skynet's, I mean Redmond's, ultimate demise. But not every computer user is a computer professional, so the Windows approach - however undesirable - will always be the popular one [by numbers]. Im glad that Linus has started working on developing Linux for the desktop as im sure distro's like Mandrake, Suse and RedHat will gain alot from it. Maybe then Linux, in the form of user-friendly distro's, will become more approachable to the man in the street. Like Lindow's - while I dont 'like' it as it is now, I acknowledge that in 5 years time I will probably look back on it being a breakthrough project and something which shaped modern day computing. As for us? Well, in that same hope - we'll all still have Gentoo and other bleeding edge distro's... so we will continue to point and laugh, I guess :P a really good example is postfix .. the further it goes the more it progresses to become the best MTA available ( no flames plz :) ) For the religious statement or the top posting ;o) - -- Mark -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/VeWvzrmqzOOQUj8RAqThAJwMvhXmyQ1F1mNLQy6aiMI1ym5bKwCfazPx 9pNJ74h2LBZ8JRf1edKCBh8= =geHG -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Realtek 8139 not detected at bootup
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Im trying to install gentoo on a new box for a m8. While ive installed gentoo many times previously, I havent come across this particular kind of problem. The box is a Shuttle sv24 with an on-board realtek 8139 NIC. The LiveCD [with no special options passed] detects the card on IRQ11 and uses the 8139too module quite happily. The 2 USB hub's are also detected on the same IRQ. For the install, I selected both the realtek 8139too and 8139cp modules just in case. Unfortunately when booting the new install, gentoo doesnt say anything about eth0. When I manually insmod the driver or attempt to assign an IP to the device, it say's the device is unknown/not found. Looking carefully at the dmesg output however, there is a section about conflicting devices on IRQ 11 [and it lists the usb drivers loaded], so I tried disabled the usb hub in the bios [the keyb/mouse are ps2] but this didnt seem to help. The only other message that seemed to be of any relevance was 'ds: no socket driver found' - but after carefully checking the kernel options to that of 2 other gentoo boxen I have, I cant see anything obvious which could be causing the problem. Like I said, I get the impression its an IRQ-level problem as opposed to a driver-level problem, as the hardware isnt even detected, so how can a driver talk to it? For the record I have double and triple checked that the 'allow shared irq's' in menuconfig is checked :P TIA :) - -- Mark -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/LakPzrmqzOOQUj8RArncAKCtmKzp5GZO7ZIk+IBaJrb3wMNPqgCgn4Wj 6S4OW0kjlJqd13QEZU1admI= =W9oL -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

This binding has always worked fine..until I installed gentoo. So yeah mutt uses readline so I can add another binding on this new sequence, but doesn't it kind of hint that something is wrong with _my_ setup when that has worked before? Thanks for the reply though.. I will have to dig further.. I don t recall the exact ^[[ characters displayed before the changes, but as its my server it doesnt have X merged to say if it affected me in the same or other ways. As its happening on a number of remote machines, could this be some sort of environment variable in your bash profile?

The best one that im aware of is SCO's Volution, or should I say 'closest'.
