[gentoo-user] Out of portage
Hello, I am using portage for packet management. But there are a few programs (postfix for example) that I have emerged and now would like to manage myself. What is the best way to take a program out of portage without unmerging the program? Deleting the appropriate line from /var/lib/portage/world perhaps? Any side effects if I do that? Thank you.

my very slow rigs. Why is screen taking up so much CPU time? Almost
45%. O_O

and even logged out and back in. Nothing but more smoke.

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6.14 Nvidia
Don't know whether this is even relevant. I was pulling my hair out trying to get the nvidia driver (nvidia) working with kernel 2.6.12 for about three weeks. It worked ok with nv, but with nvidia it gave the same message you got. I was using the same nvidia-kernel version you are. I moved to kernel 2.6.13, and decided to run ~amd64 (what the heck). Nvidia kernel v. 7676 installed neatly and worked. I don't recommend it, necessarily. It worked for me, but there seem to be many variables that can cause that message.

I haven't lost much work yet, thanks to my habit of using vim in screen but otherwise it's frustrating to either boot up a 2nd (non linux) comp or hitting the restart button. It started when I accidentally updated a bunch of packages using ~x86 keywords but I've recompiled xorg and firefox back to their 'stable' versions; sooner or later I'm going to try to recompile everything down to their stable versions but in the meanwhile, any suggestions?

I would avoid Mozilla, because it's about the only thing that could possibly be yet more bloated than Firefox is becoming.

Re: [gentoo-user] Full path in apache2 access_log?
Ive played with many ecommerce packages (OSC, intershop, home-grown stuff in Perl, PHP and ASP). Recently built a site using Mambo (err... that should be called Joomla now ;-) and a plugin callead mambo-phpshop. The plugin has a complete backend already built so you just customize a few pages... Interchange sounds more like a framework that needs more work to build a complete store, right? I think you've hit upon the point that really makes Interchange cool. It is a great framework, but there are a few demo stores built on top of it that can be customized into your store in no time: http://demo.icdevgroup.org/i/demo1 http://demo.icdevgroup.org/i/demo2 I prefer to go the route of only using the basic framework and then creating my own stuff on top of that.

[gentoo-user] use of /usr/src/linux symlink
Something which I havn't found any explicit elaboration of in the documentation... The convention in the Linux/gentoo filesystem seems to be to have a unique directory for each installed kernel in /usr/src, with a symbolic link to the 'current' kernel directory named /usr/src/linux.. The question is - is this just a user convenience, or will parts of the system break if it is not maintained correctly? The reason I ask is that if I have several kernels which I have configured grub to allow me to select from at boot time, where should this symlink point? The newest kernel? An experimental one being worked on? The one most recently booted from. If the latter case then it is likely to be wrong for a finite period following boot until the system has come up far enough to allow me to update it. Anyone know what is likely to break (if anything) if I boot from a kernel other than the one which corresponds to the directory /usr/src/linux points to, and neglect to update the link? Does it direct (for instance) the target directory for an emerge of new kernel components? Or does it perhaps have to point to the kernel being built during any recompile? Regards, DigbyT -- Digby R.

The symlink has nothing to do with the compiled kernels in /boot at all. What it has to do with are applications, libraries and external kernel modules that are compiled against the kernel source. For example, ati-drivers is a kernel module which compiles against the kernel source. In order for it to do so, it needs to know what kernel source to compile against. The easiest way for it to know that is for it to seek the target of the /usr/src/linux symlink, which generally points to either 1) the source of the currently running kernel, or 2) the source of the kernel that *will* be the currently-running kernel, after you compile/install/reboot to it. Anyone know what is likely to break (if anything) if I boot from a kernel other than the one which corresponds to the directory /usr/src/linux points to, and neglect to update the link? Does it direct (for instance) the target directory for an emerge of new kernel components? Or does it perhaps have to point to the kernel being built during any recompile? Nothing, no (all internal kernel components are in the kernel source, and if you are emerging external kernel modules, they'll just be compiled against some other kernel than the one you're booting to, so they won't be available for that kernel-- but that is not, strictly speaking, broken), and no, whatever recompile you might be doing is unrelated to the symlink, unless it involves external kernel modules or one of the relatively rare applications or libraries that compile directly against the kernel source. You might consider, however, activating the symlink USE flag, which will update the symlink when you install a new kernel source. Hope this helps.

Possible but unlikely. It is a stable mail server. I doubt we will add or remove any software in the near future. Abetter way would be to install it by hand in /usr/local which is reserved for user-managed programs. But you _will_ have to keep an eye on all the required libraries. If they get updated by portage it could break your local install of postfix unless you compile it statically. Thank you for the info. Another option would be to mask every version of postfix except of yours in package.mask. If you have to modify the ebuild copy it to your portage overlay and install it from there. Anyway, why do you want to manage those programs yourself? Because of this patch for postfix: http://sbserv.stahl.bau.tu-bs.de/~hildeb/postfix/duchovni/multi_instance.gz It makes managing / upgrading postfix with multi instances easier. But it seems sticking with portage and managing the (infrequent) upgrades by hand for the second instance of postfix is less work than messing with ebuilds. Thanks again.

You can copy the ebuild to your overlay and patch postfix from there. If you don't have to do anything else before compiling it then it's as trivial as epatch /path/to/postfix.patch somewhere in src_unpack(). Doing it this way has the benefit of letting portage manage your packages. You'll just have to keep an eye for upgrades, because they will probably come without this patch.

[gentoo-user] [OT?] Photo organizing, slideshows, and S/VCD/DVD authoring/editing
Hi there, I would like to hear what people is using to do the following things, if this can be done in Linux / Gentoo (I hope so): 1. Photo organizing. This includes downloading photos from a Canon Powershot G6, organizing it in folders (currently done with camera software), batch renaming them using EXIF information included in photos, editing EXIF information (currently done with Exifer: http://www.exifer.friedemann.info/. Unfortunately this is cardware closed source only for Windows) 2. Minor photo editing, like red eyes correction, composing whole images from stitchs (currently done with camera software) 3. Creation of slideshows from photographs. I would like to be able to select some or all of the photographs, maybe add some opening or closing title, extract headers or footers from EXIF information, edit transition between photos, add music to the slideshow, adjust the duration of photos and transition to fit the music, and export a video in a suitable format to be included in VCD, SVCD or DVD. 4. VCD / SVCD / DVD authoring. If possible I'd like to have a GUI for doing this, kind of Ulead DVD Workshop, this is, you can add video files, create menus in a graphical editor, export and burn a project in different formats (VCD/SVCD/DVD), include the source folder with the original images in the resulting CD/DVD... From what I've found I have the feeling that some of the things may be done, but others, specially graphical CD/DVD authoring are lacking some mature tools.

I'm looking for something with syntax highlighting and such, so that rules ut vi or gedit. Thanks, Mike I used the php-mode for emacs when I co-wrote the Zend Certification Study Guide. Unlike vim, emacs actually parses and understands the code it's editing; this makes the syntax highlighting and indentation support much more flexible and accurate. I'd go as far as saying that the auto-indentation support for php-mode for emacs is by far the best I've worked with to date. Today, I use the phpEclipse plugin for Eclipse 3.0. I'm very happy with this. Performance is very good, the object browser works better than php-mode for Emacs did, and it's very useful indeed to be able to search all the files of a project from within the editor. There's also the advantage of being able to use other Eclipse plugins, such as support for subversion. phpEclipse is my main environment, which I use a good 8-10 hours in a working day. I tried Zend Studio about 18 months ago, but didn't like it. I found the performance was too slow (hate using software that can't keep up with my typing!), auto-indenting was inflexible (and I couldn't convince Zeev why that mattered :(, there was no subversion support, and no anti-aliased font support (tiring on the eyes when your main machine is a laptop).

Unlike vim, emacs actually parses and understands the code it's editing; this makes the syntax highlighting and indentation support much more flexible and accurate. I'd go as far as saying that the auto-indentation support for php-mode for emacs is by far the best I've worked with to date. Today, I use the phpEclipse plugin for Eclipse 3.0. I'm very happy with this. Performance is very good, the object browser works better than php-mode for Emacs did, and it's very useful indeed to be able to search all the files of a project from within the editor. There's also the advantage of being able to use other Eclipse plugins, such as support for subversion. phpEclipse is my main environment, which I use a good 8-10 hours in a working day. I tried Zend Studio about 18 months ago, but didn't like it. I found the performance was too slow (hate using software that can't keep up with my typing!), auto-indenting was inflexible (and I couldn't convince Zeev why that mattered :(, there was no subversion support, and no anti-aliased font support (tiring on the eyes when your main machine is a laptop).

All windows stop responding; xmms keeps playing; keyboard locks up and the mouse, although free to wiggle around won't cross from one screen to another. Logging in from another machine over SSH, top reveals that X is occupying 90-something% of the CPU; killing individual applications like firefox or xmms doesn't do anything but killing X gives me back a working, functional login screen. This is, as you might imagine, amazingly annoying. For whatever reason, it'll happen when I click specific links in Firefox (i.e. my professor's labs assignments link) snip Before going further, let me say that I agree that X is becoming a real annoyance. I'm at this very moment upgrading to the unstable version (6.8.2-r6, not the masked pre-7.0 versions; I'm not that desperate :-) ) to see if it helps. That said, this would seem to be an interaction between 'problems with X' and 'problems with Firefox' (we've had discussions of the increasing memory usage of Firefox lately-- it may well be that both these sets of issues are manageable on their own, but together, Firefox becomes the straw that breaks the back of X.

When looking in /var/log in the critical and kernel sections I don't see any warning messages. I've also looked in the Xorg and sshd logs to see if there is anything in there to indicate what might be happening, but I don't see anything. I've got a Pentium 4 (1300 Mhz), 768Mb RAM. I've had Gentoo on this box for several months now (at least 9) and have not seen this problem before (at least that I can remember). What log files might there be that might give some indications as to the problem that might be causing the system to become unresponsive? Thank you, Shawn Singh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I tried that and it worked fine. I started a screen session and emerged mozilla. The merge stuff showed heavy CPU usage but screen only showed 1 or 2%, like it should. I really think this has something to do with folding itself somehow. Screen is actually taking up the CPU time though. Folding is really slow when it does this, real slow.

W Well I used finstall. The reason I did that is because of my quad CPU Compaq server. With finstall, it handles all 4 CPUs and the same time and with one command to start or stop. It is a really nice way to do it. I like consistancy so I installed it on all my rigs. I also fell in love with the screen thing as well. Funny huh? LOL I posted a thread on the folding forums. If no one replies before to long, I'm going to delete and start over with a fresh install. Maybe I got a bug or something. Knowing me, I just screwed up something. LOL It happens, especially with me. :( The best thing that has happened to me in a very long time is finding my new lady, after 15 years of looking I might add.

This is *really* common, so don't discount it until you've checked. 3) Run memtest86 overnight. If none of these seem to be the cause, I'd try swapping power supplies next.
