[gentoo-user] Mini Gentoo in VMWare
Hi Guys, Has anyone here played with minimalizing everything for use in vmware? Basically what I want to do is create a series of VERY tiny VMs that are all independent of each other, which provide one service. For instance, I might put apache on one VM, and tomcat on another, and so on. Obviously, I would want their memory usage to be absolutely minimized, seeing that I would like to run them all on one computer. I would probably provide them 64M-128M of RAM each, for their specific service. Perhaps a little more if really required. Is there really anything that I should worry about? Perhaps I should just DO IT? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] SiS & xorg 7.1
Hello, I have this AGP chip in a clevo portable: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter I have my make.conf settins as such: VIDEO_CARDS="sis vesa" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" The xorg.x11 files has these entries: Section "Device" Identifier "silicongraphic" VendorName "Silicon Integrated Systems" Driver "sis" #VideoRam Section "Screen" Identifier "Laptopscreen" Device "silicongraphic" Monitor "flatscreen" DefaultDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection I'm not sure 'sis' is a legitimate option? While googling I came across a document that suggested adding 'vesa' to any VIDEO_CARD setting if doubt exist. Is this the correct setting for this video card? Where can I read up on the various cards, xorg-x11 setting options for various video cards and the corresponding settings in make.conf and else where? I've some docs, such as the gentoo docs and xorg modular migration, but these docs seem trite or a little too skinny on details and lack a robust discussion of the options and other possible options. It seems to work, but, I'm not sure it's optimized for the best possbible use of this sis/vesa video chip? thoughts and comments are most welcome. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If I understand you correctly, you won't find the entry you're looking for. You need to create a link with the name of your usb card interface. ifconfig -a will show you what the new network card is recognised as and then you have to link it to /etc/init.d/net.lo. For example, if ifconfig shows you a new interface called wlan0 then you need to run something like this: # cd /etc/init.d # ln -s net.lo net.wlan0 Then, set something like RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no" in your /etc/conf.d/rc and all the right things should happen when you boot up. > A second question: some times the connection gets down but dhcpcd > doesn't see it and the only solution is to kill wpa_supplicant and > dhcpcd and restart them. > How can I prevent this problem, or connect automatic again? Sorry, not adequately clued up on this, to offer any reliable advice. I know that the wpa_supplicant requires the iface to stay up, something which may not happen if dhcpcd goes down and takes the iface with it. You may want to try adding an option like dhcpcd_wlan0="-o" in your /etc/conf.d/net to see if it makes any difference. Someone more knowledgeable in network matters ought to advise here.

The beginning of it should be some lines like: X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Regardless, it looks like you are using the vesa driver for your hardware. This is pretty much the lowest common denominator driver, and will be *very* slow. I'm not sure if you need the s3 or via driver for your hardware (perhaps someone else with similar hardware can comment). What did you set VIDEO_CARDS to in /etc/make.conf? This should probably be something like: VIDEO_CARDS="vesa s3 via" If you have to change this setting, you need to remerge x11-base/xorg-server. I suggest to keep the vesa setting only to make sure you have a recovery path if you make a mistake. Once that is done, you should be able to change the Driver setting in xorg.conf from "vesa" to "s3" (or "via"). The Driver setting to change appears in the "Device" section. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] [uOT] Thunderbird, Mozilla and HELO
Hi list, I have a slightly offtopic question that I hope I can get help with here. I have a home server, running an MTA for my domain. As of the last month or so, I have experienced a huge increase in spam and spam bounces. To combat this, I have upped my MTA's pickyness quite a bit but would like to up it more. Specifically, I would like to reject mail where sender says HELO jaquet.dk and/or where the Received line looks like [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my MTA's Received stamps are of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Spammers like to use these to 'fake' their way through. This brings me to the point, because it seems like mozilla and thunderbird (my GF uses one, I use the other) grabs the domain information they use in their SMTP exchanges from the sender email address. So, when my GF sends from work via their MTAs to my home server as [EMAIL PROTECTED], that mail will run afoul of this rule since the first Received will look like Received: from jaquet.dk () by mail.XXX.dk (Postfix) with ESMTP id 75FE532CD4C etc even though her laptop at the point of sending isnt connected to my network. So, the question. Do anyone know how to fix this? I found a bugzilla entry for this, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68877, with a final comment that this have been committed to tbird 0.6 and mozilla 1.7 in 2005. I am running tbird 1.5.0.7 and still sees this. Any clues? Thanks, Rasmus -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

That sounds more like of the bazillion possible frequencies to use, all your devices are trying to use the same one or two. So your problem is with the hardware vendor and their stunning lack of foresight. If there isn't a setting to change frequencies of the devices then I suppose you are up a creek.

So you're pretty much at your computer. Bluetooth's designed use case is a range of about 8 feet or so, so you can connect one of your personal devices (like the dongle in your ear) to another personal device (like the phone in your pocket).

Re: [gentoo-user] BIG reiserfs problem
While this is true, it also may dramatically lower the mean time to failure for your disk, due to increased ware and tear - consumer ATA drives are designed to operate with the write cache on. If you cannot afford to lose data due to poweroff corruption, then the only viable solution is a RAID card that includes battery backup (e.g. 3Ware and Areca sell these). Mark, Thank you for clarifying. My comments were obscure and poorly worded. You are correct. If one requires supreme data-safety with an ATA drive, one must do things that will ultimately be counter-productive for the longevity of your disks. Furthermore, (I can fully attest) that they will be a significant hit on performance. If you need high safety, speed, and retention, then the 3ware + Battery backup is a low-cast solution. There are tons of higher cost ones. most of me servers run with battery-backed RAID cards. I also like to make scripts to remount the FSs with -o sync in the case of power outage. That way, just in case the UPS actually fails early (which happens at times), I don't lose data. I have had that preference no matter what FS i use. sincerely, Joshua -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Kmail Reply to errors
What I did was create folders for each mail list and tell Kmail the folder contains a mail list. When you do that you have an option to put the reply to address for the list in the setup. After that I filter the mail list messages to the right folder and when I hit reply I get the right address. > > From: Mick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2006/11/02 Thu AM 09:00:53 EST > To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org > Subject: [gentoo-user] Kmail Reply to errors > > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Kmail Reply to errors
Hi All, First I'd like to apologise for some stray messages that I have inadvertently sent to this ML. This appears to be caused by Kmail automatically inserting the gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org address in the Reply To field, on messages that have nothing to do with this list. I am not sure what Kmail reads to deduce the Reply To address, but it seems that it's not parsing the correct header field. The headers and body below are from a message sent to me from a different mailing list. When I hit Reply (R) Kmail always inserts the gentoo-user ML address instead of the correct one. Is this a bug I should report? Can you explain to me why it happens, or how I could fix it? (If Kmail has been corrupted, what should I remerge?) === X-Gmail-Received: 182412ba198ee4da114d8ffd80f565fcbe412211 Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: by 10.70.124.2 with SMTP id w2cs17302wxc; Thu, 2 Nov 2006 03:00:53 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.49.41.18 with SMTP id t18mr4359687nfj.1162465253005; Thu, 02 Nov 2006 03:00:53 -0800 (PST) Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from realvnc.com (realvnc.com [83.170.68.194]) by mx.google.com with ESMTP id i1si8674525nfe.2006.11.02.03.00.52; Thu, 02 Nov 2006 03:00:53 -0800 (PST) Received-SPF: pass (google.com: best guess record for domain of [EMAIL PROTECTED] designates 83.170.68.194 as permitted sender) Received: from dingly (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by realvnc.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id kA2B0o628070; Thu, 2 Nov 2006 11:00:50 GMT From: "James Weatherall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Subject: RE: Switch off the wallpaper Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2006 11:00:50 - Organization: RealVNC Ltd.

[gentoo-user] Threading issues with compiling Qt apps
Hi, I want to double check some things here first before I report a bug, just in case the problem is in the fingers. arch = ~x86 Emerging amarok and kde-base/kopete both fail with this error in the configure step: === checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3 and < 4.0) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation! For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log. Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support! === The amarok build log contains this: === configure:33196: rm -rf SunWS_cache; i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -o conftest -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_ BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fno-inline -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-c ommon -I/usr/qt/3/include -I. -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -L/usr/qt/3/lib -L/usr/lib-L/usr/kde/3.5/lib conftes t.cpp -lqt-mt -lpng -lz -lm -ljpeg -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lpthread 1>&5 /usr/qt/3/lib/libqt-mt.so: undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]' /usr/qt/3/lib/libqt-mt.so: undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status === The kopete log contains much the same. It seems like I have faulty glibc build settings, and this will happen for all future Qt builds.
