Re: [gentoo-user] How many gentoo users ?

2003-12-18 Thread Robert Young
((# of register gentoo users on the forms) - (# of registered users that
have left gentoo) - ( number of users that have registers twice)) *
(1/(percent of users that register))

# of register gentoo users on the forms = 36789
guess
# of registered users that have left gentoo ~ 1000
# number of users that have registers twice ~ 1000
this is the hard one (assume 1000 posts to the list a day 100 e-mail to
this
 list 1/2 the people read both 1/20 use mailing list and not forms how
many read the forms but never post??? assume 60 - 10. Assume 5 % just
RTFM)
percent of users that register 35 to 85

(36789 - 1000 - 1000)*(1/.35) = 99397
to
(36789 - 1000 - 1000)*(1/.85) =  40928

Re: [gentoo-user] Video Card question

2003-10-01 Thread Robert Young
radeon 7000 was good for me.

3D was ok but the 2D was quit good for the price.

P.S. I thought the Rage was supposed to work with DRI?


D.Wilkening wrote:

 Hi,

 i have an question about an optimal video-card for DRI.
 My current Ati Rage IIc seems to be incapable of running an accelerated X-
 driver, so i have 100% CPU on my 1G PIII while watching xine/zapping/mplayer.

 Can anybody suggest a videocard whith these parameters:
 1) Low power (box is always on)
 2) No Fan (!)
 3) Fast X
 4) DRI
 5) cheap :-) and old enough for something like ebay
 6) works good together with my bt848 (my current one only works with 16bit)

 Thank you all.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge mask issue: I checked emerge info

The only problem was the security holes.

Thanks for all the quick responses.

In a perfect world should emerge not have reported

Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy net-p2p/xmule have been HARD masked.
please see package.mask

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.


This would have saved me and others some time. Should I request an enhancement
for this?

 Yup, no need for the x86 as well.

 The other problem is:

 Oddly the only versions in portage are masked because of security holes...
 Just comment out the xmule line and you'll be set to go. Remember, any sync
 you do will revert your changes.

 I have gotten that a few time my self lately. The fastest way around it
 for me was to just 'emerge full_path_to_ebuild/file.ebuild' It would
 build then. I have noticed that there was a new portage update the other
 night, while doing an 'emerge sync'. I wonder if that could be the
 problem?

[gentoo-user] Evolution: Why is main not going to the in box

2003-08-25 Thread Robert Young



With red hat I just pointed evolution to the mail spool and mail would
be automatically moved to the evolution's local folder inbox I believe.
Now is just stays in the maildir. I can read it in it's own section but
I was wondering if this is normal.

My mail is now being delivered and received through postfix as per the
desktop set up instructions.

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml

3 questions.

1) Has the default behavior changed with the newest evolution

2) Do most people leave mail in the maildir folder so other mail clients
can read the mail as well?

3) Do most people use filters to move the mail the evolution folders?


Thanks in advance.

  Perhaps did you mis-config your kernel.
  Look in IDE/ATAPI options to see if you enabled the driver corresponding
  to your chipset.
 
  What chipset ? My motherboard chipset is nForce2, but I don't see it listed
  anywhere (maybe it is another chipset ?).
  Thank you.

 I have nForce2 and it uses one of the amd chipsets. I have
 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD74XX=y int the .config.

Let us know what happens when you recompile and install a kernel with this

[gentoo-user] cat cpuinfo /CFLAGS - is it realy an XP?

2003-08-14 Thread Robert Young
I was told this CPU was an XP by my vendor. Why does it not say in the
model name that it is an XP see cat cpuinfo bellow.

It is currently running redhat and I would like to install Gentoo on it
but I am wondering which optimization flags I should use?

I was hoping


CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CFLAGS=-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
CXXFLAGS=-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer

would be safe and

CFLAGS=-march=athlon-xp -m3dnow -msse -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -O3
-pipe -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops
-frerun-cse-after-loop
-frerun-loop-opt -falign-functions=4 -maccumulate-outgoing-args
-ffast-math
-fprefetch-loop-arrays
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}

would be pushing the limit.


Thanks in advance.

Does a P3 and up support debugging even without a frame pointer?
Maybe I am not reading this correctly but does this not mean that
-fomit-frame-pointer is already on for -O3.

from
http://freesoftware.ircam.fr/mirrors/planetccrma/man/man1/gcc.1.html
snip ...

OPTIMIZATION OPTIONS
 These options control various
sorts of optimizations:
 -O
 -O1 Optimize.
Optimizing compilation takes somewhat

more time, and a lot more memory for a large func

tion.

Without `-O', the compiler's goal is to reduce the

cost of compilation and to make debugging produce

the expected results. Statements are independent:

if you stop the program with a breakpoint between

statements, you can then assign a new value to any

variable or change the program counter to any other

statement in the function and get exactly the re

sults you would expect from the source code.

Without `-O', only variables declared register are

allocated in registers. The resulting compiled

code is a little worse than produced by PCC without

`-O'.

With `-O', the compiler tries to reduce code size

and execution time.

When you specify `-O',
the two options

`-fthread-jumps' and `-fdefer-pop' are turned on.

On machines that have delay slots,
the `-fde

layed-branch' option is turned on. For those ma

chines that can support debugging even without a

frame pointer, the `-fomit-frame-pointer' option is

turned on. On some machines other flags may also

be turned on.

Yes it could but if I wanted to eliminate my CFLAGS as being the problem.
As far as I know the most stable is -O2 if this doesn't work than the
CFLAGS where not the problem.
If I knew that CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" had been tested I
would
have changed my CFLAGS to CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" first
instead
of CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2".
As it is as far as I now there is no guarantee so I am starting at
-O2 and
may be looking at several recompiles after that as well.

 These are *exactly* my flags and Mozilla compiled with those (okay the
 second time - I had to reduce MAKEOPTS from -j(3+2) to -j(3+1)

You have 3 or 4 cpus?

or your not using the recommended values?

Anyway the build finished with -O2 I am wondering if for some reason it
just dose not build the first 2 time.

I am trying CFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe and see if that works and
if it does I will try
CFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe  -fomit-frame-pointer and scratch my

[gentoo-user] If is doesn't compile with -O3 -pipe is that not a BUG?

2003-08-10 Thread Robert Young
Just a thought

I submitted a bug against Mozilla
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26068

It seems to be because of my CFLAGS
CFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer

I changed them to
CFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O2

and it seems to be working so far.

My question is:
Should it not be one of Gentoo's goals to make even optimized
systems stable.  info2flags on my computer would have produced
CFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe
I believe.

This goes against what I keep seeing people say that only
CFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O2  would be stable.

To be considered stable currently my understanding is that the ebuild
should not have a bug reported against it for so many days or week.
Could another requirement be added that is must be shown to be able to
compile against the architecture that it considered stable in at least
with -march=pentium3 -O2 and  the flags produced by info2flags
-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe  in my case?

Thanks.

 XP needs an FSB of 133MHZ.

 I don't know, but I would change the FSB anyway. It can only become faster
 (assuming your hardware is not faulty and supports it without problem). So,
 check your BIOS settings and tell us whether it works as intended.

Re: [gentoo-user] unresolved symbol cmpxchg in radeon-module

2003-07-24 Thread Robert Young
I am not at home right now but I believe my kernel was compiled for a 386. I
changed it to a Celeron (Coppermine) , recompiled and according the the log
for X it seems that DRI is now working.

angus proc # cat config | grep CMPX
CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG=y

if CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG=n then I think i would have a problem.

CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG is set to N if you select a 386 and Y if you select any
thing else.

But maybe I am wrong I will only know for sure when I get home.

 i had athlon-xp as far as i remember. actually that's the

 but it didn't work for me. when i changed it to i386 and
 recompiled the kernel, radeon module just worked fine (after a
 rebuild of course)!
 but befor that i tried several different values like athlon,
 athlon-xp and so on. do that as well! it must have something to
 do with that!!

 Try this -- it worked for me:

 See Bugzilla #22372 for more information.


Your saying r3 is broken see bug 22372 use r2 correct?
Thanks for your quick response. Ill do a search on Bugzilla first next time.

[gentoo-user] I would like to understand FEATURES=sandbox

2003-06-25 Thread Robert Young
Is there a link that explains sandboxing in gentoo?


If not, can someone tell me know if I am correctly understanding the
usrpriv and the sandbox feature?


I have created a standard user testing: that is also a member of the
(portage,adm,and sys) groups.

If I have
FEATURES=usrpriv sandbox 

in /etc/make.conf

does this mean that if I type

su testing -

emerge planeshift

that planeshift will be installed only for user testing. No other user
will be able to access the install?


If this is true
can I then type

su -

emerge planeshift

and I will have one local install for testing and one for everyone else
(possibly the same version)


If this is not what will happen can this be accomplished with portage?

Thanks in advance

[gentoo-user] Is this not correct for gentoo? (bittorrent)

2003-06-24 Thread Robert Young
Is this not correct for gentoo?

To get Mozilla to run the bittorrent gui
1) emerge bittorrent (with ~x86)

Seem to work

2)
as root

echo 'application/x-bittorrent; /usr/bin/bittorrent/btdownloadgui.py %s;
test=test -n $DISPLAY'  /etc/mailcap

start new x term
type
Mazolla 
and click on a .torrent file

Am I missing something? The file itself just loaded into the window the
gui is not started.

 I use mozilla-firebird and bittorrent-3.2.1b-r3 . After 'emerge

 ebuild (im assuming) added the required line to mailcap (wrapped from
 mailer, sorry):

 application/x-bittorrent; /usr/bin/btdownloadgui.py '%s'; test=test -n
 $DISPLAY

 Note that the path is different in mine. Is yours really in
 /usr/bin/bittorrent/ ?


No it is /usr/bin I miss typed my step 1). My real problem seemed to be I had
%s not '%s'  and the file was not of mime type x-bittorrent. I can start
downloading torrent files form bittorrent's home page but not the file I was
originally having problems with.

Thanks for you example.

 I don't suppose I'll use it much though, as the free version _still_ has

Random crash on search

 Release 1.2.0 introduced an occasional crash/lockup when searching which caused
lmule to consume all available CPU (and Memory). The issue seems to be fixed in
CVS by now, as stated in the SF Forums by flodrot


Andrew Gaffney wrote:

 I just recently emerge'd the latest version of lmule (1.2.0.1). It starts just
 fine. The problem comes when I try to do a search. As soon as I hit enter to
 start the search, the system immediately becomes sluggish. I switch over to a
 terminal and run top. lmule is using 98% CPU and over 40% RAM (I have 384Mb).
 After about 30 seconds, the system locks solid. I can't even ssh to it. I've
 never had this happen before in the 4 months or so I've been using Gentoo. Is
 anyone else running into this?
