Re: [gentoo-user] etc-update not showing differences
Hi Petri!
Did you by any chance change anything in /etc/etc-update.conf? There is
a line there
diff_command=diff -uN %file1 %file2
Check if it is commented out (having a # character in front of it).

Re: [gentoo-user] x eats my mem and cpu
Hi a_k_b! Another app that seemed to eat all my available memory was xchat version 1.8.x that used gtk+1.2.x. After 2 or 3 hours of chatting in the gentoo channel resulted in the X using about 256MB RAM (all of it that is :-P) and 250MB swap making the system unstable and only usuable after I pushed the magic button of reset :-) I have no problems with the 2.x versions of xchat as it uses gtk2 and it seems that it works much better that 1.2.x.

Re: [gentoo-user] OpenOffice - slower than death
Hi rh! I remember that if I try to start ooffice when my [EMAIL PROTECTED] program is already running with nice 19 using all available cpu, ooffice took about a minute to start giving me an empty window!

Re: [gentoo-user] portage logs
Hi Renat!
This was exactly what I was looking for! logrotate cannot handle the
logs that emerge creates unfortunately so I had to use a custom script.
I had almost forgot the script that cleans up /tmp. So I created two
cron jobs, one in cron.weekly to bzip2 the newly created files with
find /var/log/portage/ -type f -name *.log -exec bzip2 -9q '{}' \;
(you really have to use when you are using wildcards in -name if
you don't want your find to have unpredictable results ;-)
and one in cron.monthly to delete the old month's log files with
find /var/log/portage/ -not -type d -mtime +30 -print0 |
xargs --null --no-run-if-empty rm -f
Thank you a lot!

Well, you can make a script and put it, for example, under
/etc/cron.weekly . Here is an example copied directly from the 'find'
info page:
# cut here
Removing old files from `/tmp' is commonly done from `cron':
find /tmp /var/tmp -not -type d -mtime +3 -print0 |
xargs --null --no-run-if-empty rm -f
find /tmp /var/tmp -depth -mindepth 1 -type d -empty -exec rmdir
{} \;
The second `find' command above uses `-depth' so it cleans out
empty
directories depth-first, hoping that the parents become empty and can
be removed too. It uses `-mindepth' to avoid removing `/tmp' itself
if it becomes totally empty.
# cut here
You could change the lines to remove the files from /var/log/portage
instead of /tmp and put them under cron.something .
For compression you can use something like this:
find /var/log/portage/ -type f -name *.log -exec bzip2 -9q '{}' ';'
If you put it in file under cron.daily your portage log files will be
compressed once every day (if they are not compressed yet).
These too scripts would probably do what you want: compress the logs
and remove the old ones.
Cheers,
Renat
P.S. I don't have these scripts in my cron, just created them while
writing this, but I just compressed my /var/log/portage with bzip and
the size went down from 83MB to 3MB (with gzip 4MB). Those logs are
mostly pretty small, there were only few big ones like 17MB for
openoffice, 10MB for glibs, etc.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: portage logs
Hi Thorsten! The logs, that emerge produces, have no default name. Also, a log is created for every package that is being emerged and after that emerge, the log file will never be opened again for something to be added. Logrotate is usually used for logs with standard names that you want to do rotation and compression on them. I just couldn't find a logical way to set up the logrotate to do what I wanted. Maybe the can't handle statement was a bit too much :-) If you can find a way to set it up with logrotate I would be glad to use that instead of the custom scripts.

Following the howto that is on the link that I posted I managed to have a Unicode console that can show up to 100+ languages with the appropriate font :-) This is something that I'd like to see in every app and it isn't that difficult to use as a simple user or to code if you are a developer. Most GTK2/QT apps support Unicode. Interested yet? Imagine that using Unicode everything you write in an email will stay the same on the other end of the line as there will be no charset convertion. Also you can have multilingual emails/documents with a combination of English/Japanese/Thai/Hebrew in plain text!!! Even math symbols!

Re: [gentoo-user] Some misc stuff
Hi Canek, 1. I haven't used gnome for ages and I don't know the answer to that. 2. If you use xfs (X font server), did you change the catalog of font directories in the file/etc/X11/fs/config? After changing that execute 'fc-cache -f' and you should be ok. 3. To get the system to shutdown you need to have apm support compiled as a module or even better compiled in the kernel.

Re: [gentoo-user] modules/kernel problem
Attaching the .config file of the kernel you want to use would be most helpful in detecting the problem. I have compiled about 7 different kernel versions even the latest development-sources (2.6.0.pre1) which I use for a weel now and never had such problem. Some things you could try before sending the attachment is to run 'update-modules' after'make bzImage modules modules_install'. Also if you use lilo as your boot manager after building the kernel and copying the kernel to /boot(remember to mount it first!!!), you should edit /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo for it to see the change in the kernel. After that you usually reboot and you are ok. Good luck!

Re: [gentoo-user] Live cd as rescue cd andkernel/lilo/framebuffer problems
It really takes a lot of time to compile the whole kde environment and if you say that you stop the compiling and restart it, it should take a lot more as the package that the emerge was compiling when you stopped it will be compiled again from the start. One thing that might help a bit is to emerge ccache and add in FEATURES in make.conf the ccache option (don't forget to change the default size it uses for cache in make.conf). I don't really know a lot about framebuffer (the only thing I know for sure is that it doesn't work very well on my computer :-P) but I could make a suggestion about what you might be forgetting when recompiling the kernel. If you are using lilo for boot manager then after each 'make bzImage modules modules_install' you should do the following: mount /boot cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/nameofthekernel vi /etc/lilo.conf (to add an entry for the new kernel you have named nameofthekernel) (optional if you overwrite the old kernel with the new one) lilo (THIS IS IMPORTANT) umount /boot and you are ready to go. You probably forgot to run lilo after copying the new kernel. I hope that helps! On Fri, 25 Jul 2003 09:18:02 +0200 Stefano [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, after I've solved my make.conf problems (with your help :-)) I've begun the long, long world compilation. My little k6-2 @ 475 mhz with 192 mb ram laptop has exited from stage 1 on sunday, exited from building X on tuesday and from tuesday it's still compiling kde (!). With only fews and quickly stops: is it normal? Well, but my problem is that on console 2, while on console 1 kde was growing, I've begun to play with the kernel conf file. In fact when I've compiled my gentoo kernel for the first time, I must have mistaken something in the usb configuration, since my laptop's external usb mouse won't work. Therefore I've stopped the kde compiling process and I've started a new kernel compilation. However when I've rebooted the laptop I still have had the some problems with framebuffer described before: my screen has gone out of sync. Panic. Then I've rebooted my laptop from live-cd and then mounted my root partition under /gentoo as I did during installation process. After this, I did: # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash # env-update # source /etc/profile and I've tried to recompile my kernel. During this new compilation process I've received strange messages about skew clock and date in the future. I suppose it's caused by gmt/local date settings: my system is configured with local setting, and live cd system perhaps is gmt. However, after compilation of the new kernel (without framebuffer), I have given a cp from /arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot, but when I've rebooted I've obtained the same blank screen problem I've had before. I've realized that, perhaps, my mistake was that I've forgotten to mount the /boot partition (correct?). So I've rebooted one more time, followed all steps that I've described before plus mounting the boot partition. Because of the late time, I've preferred to send back the compilation of kernel and to resume with kde. And now, while I'm writing, my laptop still compiling kde. I hope you will excuse me for this long description, I step now to the questions: When I boot my machine I'd like to have the same nice resolution and gentoo logo of live-cd. How can I obtain it? I'd like to have the same autoconfig and hardware recognition features too, so how can I set my kernel as the live-cd kernel? What's about lilo.conf? I've tried a lot of settings and played with vga entry, but without success. I've readed the manual for lilo but it didn't help. Is it correct to continue the kde compilation under the live cd ambient? Naturally after the chroot procedure that I've described. I've a logitec usb wireless mouse. It works fine with live cd, but what I've lost in my own kernel configuration to abtain it to works? What's about the skew time messages? How can configure correctly my date/time while I'm under live-cd rescue? In the past, I've got a lot of problems with modules configuration, so I prefer to have all compiled directly into the kernel: is it too heavy for my laptop? Because one time I've received a message from lilo about the too big dimensions of the kernel? Finally, how can I recover correctly and fastly all this situation once that the compilation of kde will be finished? Still sorry for the lenght and confusion of this message. I hope in your aid.

Re: [gentoo-user] Fw: help! wmaker
I cannot remember if WPrefs shows an icon when it is run. If it does you
just have to drag it to your dock bar. If it doesn't then you have to
do some file tweaking. The file that has to be restored is WMState.
There are two ways to do that. One is to logout from wmaker, login from
the console and move the GNUstep folder. The next time that you will
login to wmaker it will automatically create all the needed files. Then
keep a copy of WMState somewhere in your account(not in GNUstep) and
logout again from wmaker. Again from console rm the newly created
GNUstep, move back your old folder and put the new WMState file instead
of yours. Now the icon should be back.
The second way is to logout from wmaker and try to edit by hand the
WMState file. Be sure that you have logged out of wmaker because the
file is overwritten at every logout with the options that wmaker has
in the memory! You should have in WMState in the Applications a section
like this:
{
Command = /opt/wmaker/GNUstep/Apps/WPrefs.app/WPrefs;
Name = groupLeader.WPrefs;
AutoLaunch = No;
Forced = No;
BuggyApplication = No;
Position = 0,2;
DropCommand = /opt/wmaker/GNUstep/Apps/WPrefs.app/WPrefs %d;
},
with the appropriate paths of course. Good luck!
By the way this was one of the reasons that drove me away of wmaker in
the first place. A lack of an easy way to put any kind of icons and
applications in the dock bar. :-/

I'm not sure if that will bring it back. You could also make a new
icon for it. Which you might have to do if it wasn't locked and got
deleted by accident. There is another way to bring it back too but
you'd have to redo all your prefs or back them up in another
directory. You could delete your GNUstep directory in /home/user id
and it will just create a new one on next launch of WindowMaker. One
other thing I just found tho on looking through it is it seems to
create backup files. Here's what maine has in the ~/GNUstep/Defaults
$ ls -a
. WMGLOBAL WMRootMenu.bak WMWindowAttributes WindowMaker

The WPrefs above is a directory. Then if you go to

Re: [gentoo-user] Admin horror stories
Well I usually installed linux in a single partition with a swap partition in another hard drive for better performance. I never till lately have used extra partitions for /boot or /usr. However the second hard drive was needed to make a second pc boot so I ended up with no swap on a pc with 256RAM. Well everything worked just fine but after a couple of moster apps where loaded the system started running slower. So I tried to find a place to put the swap partition. I did an fdisk and saw a little partition about 150MB laying around (my /boot) and as I had never before used an extra /boot partition I though it was a forgotten swap drive, so 'mkswap /dev/hda2' and OMG! No more booting for my gentoo :-( Another horror story comes from a friend of mine. He managed to get a beta version of win2k back when they where about to be released and decided to give it a try. Well everything went fine during the installation and he wanted to try to run a game to see if it runs. The game run fine but the strange thing was that even when he quited from the game the cpu usage was 100%. So he reboots the machine only to find that win2k wasn't booting any more.
