[gentoo-user] amd64/x86
Hi, I'm going to install Gentoo on Athlon64-based workstation, but I'm a little confused about hardware profiles and their compatibility: If I select now amd64, will I be able later to install and use x86 software, if there is no amd64 release (for example precompiled game-binaries, or even some sources which are only for x86, not amd64)? Or do I have to use x86 installation profile? Jarry -- Telefonieren Sie schon oder sparen Sie noch? NEU: GMX Phone_Flat http://www.gmx.net/de/go/telefonie -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I've been giving LUKS a try. I setup an encrypted partition on an external HD. Running cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/external_hd1 external_hd1 a device file /dev/mapper/external_hd1 is created. I can mount it on /mnt/external_hd1 and it works as expected. Now, guess what happens if I run "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/external_hd1 external_hd1" again? The file /dev/mapper/external_hd1 disappears (as if "cryptsetup luksClose external_hd1" were run). If /dev/mapper/external_hd1 was mounted on /mnt/external_hd1, it stays mounted. Otherwise, it seems like cryptsetup luksClose external_hd1... Confusing? -- Jorge Almeida -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It's old...and yellow and when they were throwing it away it was in 1998my point here is that the configuration is higher than what you currently have in your config file...I'm guessing that you have a monitor that is newer than the one I have configured so I'm guessing this is likely a major part of your problem. X works so much better if you have the exact configuration in thereand by doing it all by hand you'll also have a much better understanding of how everything works and is setup.

Hi! I also have problems with suspend2. I emerged and compiled the latest suspend2-sources, boots fine, hubernates fine. But: I have a Intel HDA(alc880) audio card integrated, and I need to use the realtek audio pack to make it work which compiles alsa-drivers, alsa-utils, etc.(with alsa-drivers from portage the audio card emits wierd noises that are extremely loud when I don't play anything), so the problem is that if I use a suspend2-sources kernel, alsaconf sais that there's no PCI PnP cards in my laptop, everyting works fine with any gentoo-sources kernel.

Re: [gentoo-user] CVSup vs Gentoo's Rsync
I already think Gentoo base system requirements are a bit heavy just having python in there. (I'm trying to run gentoo on my WRT54G 1.1; storage over nfs/nbd) It would be completely over-the-top to require Modula 3 support as well. Just tried cvsup on a FreeBSD box (in vmware) and it totally sucked. Took 1hr 20 min to update on a 512KB DSL. Link wasn't even saturated! Might as well be on 56K connection. DL rate max I've seen was 8KB/s BSD ports system may not be as complex as Gentoo's and needs more attention to maintain port dependencies but this "abuse of make" IS REAL FAST. I wish I could check all installed files against recorded md5 sums as easily as I can do this in FreeBSD. I took me 20 min to sync ports tree I didn't sync since December and 7 min to sync system sources. If you sync regularly it's usually within 5 min. The good thing about cvsup is that it never fails which is not the case with rsync. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Applications ask the kernel for memory when they allocate it. The kernel, based on algorithms that balance free real ram, buffers and cache, returns either real ram as memory to the app or - if it is low on real ram - swap space. So what you do when adding swap space is extending your (fast) real ram with (slow) memory residing on your harddrive. > > 3. because it is always better to have too much ram/swap then too little Nnnnot always. There are circumstances when you do not want swap at all. Consider a box that has certain real time response requirements which cannot be met if apps are swapped out (actually parts of their code and/or data paged out) to the harddrive. In these cases, you do not want swap but enough ram to accommodate your running processes at all times. This and 2. also mean that it's quite pointless to add swap if your workstation has 16GB of ram and isn't used for image processing or other extremely memory-hungry tasks. > > 4. because if you do not set up swap, but need it later, it will not be so > easy to create it, if you partition all disk and leave no space left The times when we couldn't resize partitions under linux without holding our breath are over. > > 5. because it is a good *nix habit! :-) What does or does not constitute good *nix habits is at least debateable. If I needed a box that was fast at all times and (logical AND) money was of no concern I'd put real ram in until the bugger stopped using swap space and forget about swap. Since I do have to take monetary issues into consideration, I rather configure some (cheap and slow) swap and have less (expensive, compared to harddrive space, and fast) ram. How much ram and how much swap is an economic question. It all boils down to how and what for you use your box. If you need more memory than you have ram, are you willing to invest the money for more ram? No? Then you need swap. There are too damn many myths about swap out there. Like this one: Always configure twice as much swap as you have ram. Why? Why would I need more swap if I increased my ram? You need at least a little bit of swap for peak memory usage. Let's look at real numbers. Say, I am a bit low of ram for today's computers. I have 256MB ram. For peak usage, I add 128MB swap. I open so many applications/documents that the box starts swapping out 20MB. Sure, without swap space, I wouldn't have been able to open the last document. But nothing makes me stop there. I can as well run out of swap. If you have 2GB of ram and 2GB of swap your total available memory is 4GB. If you need more you have to add either ram or swap. What you add is your choice based on your needs for speed and the money you are willing to spend on memory. That's it. End of rant.

I can as well run out of swap. The rule I always used (and do use) is twice ram, up to one gig of ram. Pretty much after that, I just do a gig of swap, and monitor it for growth. If my swap goes up AT ALL, I examine the typical workload on the box and consider adding ram. Ram may be more expensive than disk, but at less than $100 or so per gig, it's pretty cheap.

Uwe Thiem wrote: 3. because it is always better to have too much ram/swap then too little Nnnnot always. There are circumstances when you do not want swap at all. This is never true. Swap is *always* called for, and for a good reason. Your example of having a real-time responsive app requiring memory residence is a determining factor of how much physical memory you'll need to keep the app resident. But the truth of the matter is this will not be your only app running on the system. Throw some big memory hogs into play, i.e. an active X session running locally and that remote X session you've started from work, and pretty soon you can find yourself eating up that 1gb that you thought would be fine. Except that since you did not have any swap enabled, once you reach the 1gb limit, processes start failing. You find yourself unable to log into the box because there's not enough memory to spawn a new shell. You're forced to hard-boot the system and hope that the HD caches were flushed to the disk before you hit the reset button. Having swap is just another manner of safe-guarding your system. Once you breach the physical limit, there's always swap to fall back on. Sure all of your apps will suffer while swapping occurs, but at least you stand a chance of cleaning up the situation w/o facing the hard reboot option. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Uwe Thiem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There are too damn many myths about swap out there. Like this one: > Always configure twice as much swap as you have ram. Why? Well, it depends on how swap is handled by system. In linux, your total memory = physical memory + swap (as you wrote) A couple years ago I got answer from HP, where they said with hp-ux: total memory = physical memory + (swap - physical memory) only if swap > physical memory ! and total memory = physical memory if swap < physical memory (in other words, it was completely useless to have swap < phys.memory, and optimum was really swap = 2 * physical memory) They explained to me, that hp-ux 11 (or at least that early version) allocates part of swap of the same size as physical memory and mirrors the whole image of ram into swap for performance reasons: when more memory is needed, it can be immediatelly made free, because it is already paged to disk. So when I had 1GB RAM and 2GB swap, even right after system boot-up only 1GB of swap were free (in the other half of swap there was already mirror of physical memory), and I could not start any process which needed more than 2GB total memory. It seemed to me to be a complete vaste, and I was really angry, because it was time when 4 GB disk was a luxury (and e.g. irix did not have this strange "feature").

I was using "/path/to/" as a placeholder for the *actual* path for xrdb. You'll have to use tools like which or find or slocate to find exactly what that path is, and then substitute it in. For example, on my system (monster): monster ~ # which xrdb /usr/bin/xrdb monster ~ # equery b /usr/bin/xrdb [ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/xrdb in *... ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 (/usr/bin/xrdb) Luckily, xrdb was in my path, otherwise which wouldn't have found it, and I would have had to use slocate or find. My guess is that the same package will provide this binary on your system, but you should go ahead and do the which + equery, just to make sure. x11-apps/xrdb is probably for the new, version 7, split xorg. Also, to assume you I don't have x11-apss/xrdb installed: monster ~ # eix -c xrdb [N] app-emacs/xrdb-mode (): An Emacs major mode for editing X resource database files [N] x11-apps/xrdb (): X.Org xrdb application Found 2 matches -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] gst-plugins
[rant mode] Many of the gstreamer plugins, but not all of them, have been updated (in ~x86) to 0.8.12. That some of them are still at 0.8.11 is causing an upgrade/download emerge loop. As all of these plugins are built from the same source but with different configure options, would it not be possible to commit all of them to the tree at the same time? Only committing some of them causes the ones remaining at the old version to make portage downgrade the 'main' gst-plugins ebuild and then upgrade it again next time emerge is run. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Of course, none of these cases is (simply) running a 32-bit binary. All these cases cover having a 64-bit binary load a 32-bit library. While I believe this is technically possible with very disciplined developers and some kernel help, it's not supported (or even allowed) currently. Loading a 32-bit library (using dlopen etc.) will fail if you are currently running in 64-bit mode. The solution at the user end is to run 32-bit versions of the software that needs to load 32-bit libraries, unfortunately gentoo doesn't make this as easy as I'd like [1], but does provide a few methods. There's firefox-bin, which is the offically branded 32-bit version of firefox, capable of loading your 32-bit flash player, as well as some flash players with source available (and at differing levels of usability). Mplayer also has a relatively new bindist USE flag, which I believe installs the 32-bit binary for use with w32codecs. Beyond this, you can also setup a chroot (there's a guide in the gentoo wiki), and I believe the gentoo forums has a nsplugin32 ebuild which is supposed to allow 64-bit konq to load 32-bit plugins. You could, of course run an entirely 32-bit userland, and gcc will still optimize your processor in 32-bit mode (but, some processor features just are not available in 32-bit mode). The solution at the developer end is, when running on a system that supports both multiple modes of execution, have separate processes running (one in each mode) that communicate via IPC (pipes, shared memory, etc.) and are each responsible for loading libraries with a matching mode. This hasn't been traditionally done because the number of installations that support multiple execution modes running side-by-side is low. > Sadly, if you want to be able to use stuff typically used for the > Windows world, you have to conform to that world's handicapps, which > means making do with 32bits for now.

[gentoo-user] OT - 2 Questions
I upgraded dovecot the other day to 1.0.beta3 and I was altering the configuration file trying to get it to work when I discovered something disturbing: our passwords were being trasmitted unencrypted across the Internet! At least now I know it. You can gripe at me all you want, but I've learned my lesson. Now to fix it. I tried setting the default authentication method to "digest-md5" and restarting dovecot, but it gave me an error that no authentication database existed for checking with digest-md5. How do I generate one? My second question was about a PaperPort 6100 parallel port scanner that I recently inherited. Can anyone point me to a Gentoo-specific or otherwise easy-to-understand howto for getting it working?

You wouldn't run such an app on a server that offers services like FTP or such. I was actually involved in a project once that did that kind of stuff on a desktop. It was a dedicated desktop, though. ;-) Your main argument is that one needs swap as a safety net if one runs out of ram. So you have, say 1 GB of ram and 1 GB of swap. What if you run out of swap? Or: If that 1GB of swap on top of your 1GB of ram is enough for you to never run out of swap, what's wrong with replaces it with another 1GB of ram if you can afford it?

Use /etc/portage/package.keywords (with an actual keyword, instead of the default ~ARCH) or your local overlay. However, a missing keyword (like neither amd64 nor ~amd64) indicates that the ebuild has not been tested on that architecture. If the ebuild DOES work, report it on b.g.o.

Increasing the size of an LV doesn't change the size of the filesystem stored on the LV in any way. So, you'll need to run something like "resize_reiserfs /dev/vg/home" now.

Sorry, my explanation was a bit terse.
Masked due to "missing keyword" means that none of the keywords in
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS match with any of the keywords in the ebuilds KEYWORDS.
So, an ebuild that has KEYWORDS="x86 ~hppa ~sparc" will match any x86
profile but only testing hppa or sparc machines. Attempt to install it on
an amd64 machine results in a "missing keyword". You would have to view
the individual ebuild to determine what KEYWORDS it has.
/etc/portage/package.keywords is a way to add to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS on a
per-package basis. /Most of the time/, it is used to install testing
versions; if you don't supply a keyword after the package atom portage
assumes you meant ~${ARCH}. However, it can be used to accept other
keywords, you just have to put them there. amd64 users will probably find
this most useful since it is more likely that something that works on x86
also works on amd64 than it is that something that works on hppa works on
sparc -- that is there are keywords other than ~${ARCH} that may be of
real use.
For the crazier amd64 users out there, yes this does mean you could have
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64 x86" or even "~amd64 x86 ~x86" in your make.conf,
but I don't recommend it. (The transition from 32-bit to 64-bit is not
easy for all programs.)
Also, I seem to remember that package.keywords didn't always default to
~${ARCH}. Am I mis-remembering that? Do any developers here know for
sure?

Re: [gentoo-user] TARPIT iptables target
Hi Andrew, Thank you for the tip about TARPIT, the problem is now solved. To complete the fix I downloaded patch-o-matic-ng and the iptables source from netfilter.org: cd /usr/src svn co https://svn.netfilter.org/netfilter/trunk/patch-o-matic-ng svn co https://svn.netfilter.org/netfilter/trunk/iptables The documentation on using cvs on netfilter.org is outdated, they've converted to subversion and cvs is no longer available there. cd /usr/src/patch-o-matic-ng ./runme extra Allowed me to select the new iptables targets I wanted. cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig && make && make modules_install && make install I added the "extensions" USE flag to my /etc/make.conf, then reran the iptables emerge. It's all working fine now. Thanks to both you and Bryce for the help you gave!

Did you compile "QoS and/or fair queuing" support into the kernel (i.e., not the "traffic shaping device" which is in the device section)?

[gentoo-user] Trouble with openoffice2 starting up.
I don't use OpenOffice very often. At some point, I seam to have
upgraded some dependency that is causing OpenOffice not to work any
longer. I was running openoffice-bin. I tried compiling the source to
see if that fixed the problem but I still have the same issue. The
Initial Screen loads up but the progress bar stops about 1/3 the way

I don't have KOffice on this machine; I was using KOffice as an example of a useful application, as opposed to a fancy desktop. kicker seems to have problems on my system, to say the least. I don't have the full KDE install, and this is causing problems, even if it doesn't specifically list the full KDE as a dependency.

Re: [gentoo-user] CVSup vs Gentoo's Rsync
BSD ports system may not be as complex as Gentoo's and needs more attention to maintain port dependencies but this "abuse of make" IS REAL FAST. portage is REAL SLOW. So you should install/use cdb, which makes the whole rsync/update process REAL FAST. If you sync regularly it's usually within 5 min. it is, with cdb. Thanks for the hint. If I got it right here's the link for those interested: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_speed_up_portage_with_cdb Looks very interesting and I wonder why is it not in portage yet? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Suspend2 issues
Hey Iain, Thanks for the info! I kinda figured that klaptop did something different. It obviously didn't run the hibernate.conf scripts. I guess I can settle for running hibernate in the console, I mean, that's better than nothing, really. Klaptop and gkrellm at least still give a good indication of the battery status. Anyway, I'll start bugging the people on the suspend2 lists now about it. thanks a lot!

Will look at it tomorrow. Oy, oy, oy. No wonder my friends would rather fsck with the amd64 live cd (that panics on boot unless the BIOS settings are /really/ special) than start off in 32-bit land. Anyway, I think what you probably need to do is append -m64 to your CFLAGS. Try: make ARCH=x86_64 CFLAGS=-m64 I'll go fiddle a bit, too.

It won't help, the kernel's Makefile doesn't pay attention to CFLAGS, it sets up it's own based on your .config. While I didn't get the same error as you, I see definite "I'm trying to compile 64-bit assembly into 32-bit binaries"-style errors when compiling with: make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=i686-pc-linux-gnu- make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=i686-pc-linux-gnu- CFLAGS="-m32" make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=i686-pc-linux-gnu- CFLAGS="-m64" and make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=i686-pc-linux-gnu- CC="gcc -m32" However, I /was/ able to convince the kernel to build with make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=i686-pc-linux-gnu- CC="gcc -m64" although I didn't see if that would boot. So, why don't you give it a go with: make ARCH=x86_64 CC="gcc -m64" menuconfig make ARCH=x86_64 CC="gcc -m64" make ARCH=x86_64 CC="gcc -m64" modules_install make ARCH=x86_64 CC="gcc -m64" install and let me know how it goes. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT]: Any auto-hiding panels with a bunch of dependancies?

It's been a while since I've used it. Thank you very much. It only pulls in 3 dependancies. It looks to be exactly what I want. I'm part way through copying my applications list from ~/.fbpanel/default to ~/.pypanelrc. Later tonight, after unmerging fbpanel, I'll get to play with emerge and equery and revdep-rebuild. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

As all of theseplugins are built from the same source but with different configureoptions, would it not be possible to commit all of them to the tree at the same time? Only committing some of them causes the ones remainingat the old version to make portage downgrade the 'main' gst-pluginsebuild and then upgrade it again next time emerge is run.-- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Firefox PDF integration

I can't seem to find this option in firefox 1.5.0.1 Under "Edit -> Preferences -> Downloads" I see "Download actions". Clicking on "View and Edit Actions" shows an entry for some Flash-related files, but nothing for pdf and no option to add a new entry to this list. Am I missing something obvious?
