It is true mplayer doesn't depend on you installing an ffmpeg package, but mplayer point releases have the ffmpeg libav dirs which are built into the mplayer binary. That makes mplayer a wrapper around the ffmpeg engine in my book though admittedly a fairly interesting and useful one. Mplayer's ffmpeg libs are usually a month or so behind current ffmpeg and the included hooks in Mplayer are there for the use of non free codecs. It's been experience that you tend to lean towards mplayer if you want to use non free code to increase the number of video formats you can decode/view.

That way kernel modules compiled during world will be built against a kernel that was compiled with the same compiler. This makes much sense. So: emerge -e system [kernel recompile dance] [reboot] emerge -e world ? - Do I have to emerge glibc 2.4 first and gcc later, or I can have glibc emerged in the emerge -e system?

Won't two separate X servers be too big challenge for my box? I've got an Athlon XP 3000+ (working at 2167 MHz) plus a GB of RAM.

It works fine, as long as you can tell that Radeon works fine on Linux; I haven't got any experience with NVidia's hardware. Returning to the topic, I haven't got an idea neither whether Aiglx works with my Radeon nor why I'm not using Aiglx. When I've started to play with fancy 3D servers I was using Debian, and I found an article describing quite precisely how to get Xgl running on unstable Debian.

[gentoo-user] Fluxbox/Conky acting up
Hello everyone, I had Conky start automatically when I log in to Fluxbox by adding the following line to .fluxbox/startup: exec /usr/bin/conky & It is before exec /usr/bin/fluxbox (a howto warned me about this pitfall) and everything works as expected. The only problem is that when I exit my Fluxbox session, Conky doesn't stop, but rather starts eating up my CPU (could this be because when I log back in I start another instance of it?). It can't be killed with a KILL signal, but I noticed HUP will do the trick. Is this normal? How can I have Conky stopped at logout? Thanks, Vlad -- How's my English? How about my Netiquette? Do mail me if something is wrong with my behaviour. Thank you.

It depends... Otherwise there would have been only one profile. The defaults (and even the OPs choice of USE flags) are also entirely irrelevant to this topic. The problem was that the OP (who isn't kashani) had apache in package.provided instead of installed through portage. And the apache the OP had provided didn't include what he needed. Hence it has also nothing to do with masks and the problems with package.provided are barely mentioned in the handbook (if at all).

That's pretty odd. I've got various versions of Mysql, 5.0.24, 5.0.26,
5.0.30, and 5.0.32 running on IntelEMT under 64bit Gentoo and haven't
had any issues over the past six months. Though I am not running the
ebuild, 5.0.26-r2, that you are... I think my 5.0.26 is -r1. I'm also
using pretty conservative settings in make.conf as I've been burned in
the past with Mysql and overly aggressive cflags.
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
64bit Mysql is significantly faster than 32 bit and it's nice to be able
to address more than 3GB in Mysql. If that sort of raw performance
matters it might be worth your time to try 64bit again, else I'd
probably leave well enough alone.

[gentoo-user] Apache & proftpd virtual account
Hi to all :) I need little help with apache and proftpd I have a server with Apache and proftpd and i need to define an account for proftpd with which the user (he don't had a terminal access to the server) can upload files to the apache server (inside htdocs). I think that this is some kind of virtual account and i search google but i can't find anything. BTW the idea is to grant the user access to htdocs, so the user can upload files to the apache. It is not necessary to use proftpd.

To stop this, X probes your monitor (if it supports EDID) to get the refresh and sync values it can display, and it won't let you set the value outside this. I would troll through /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if you can see anything interesting about EDID or sync, etc. And I also found information in Xorg.0.log: II) I810(0): Supported VESA Video Modes: (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (interlaced) (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) I810(0): Manufacturer's mask: 0 (II) I810(0): Supported Future Video Modes: (II) I810(0): #0: hsize: 800 vsize 600 refresh: 85 vid: 22853 (II) I810(0): #1: hsize: 640 vsize 480 refresh: 85 vid: 22833 (II) I810(0): #2: hsize: 1024 vsize 768 refresh: 85 vid: 22881 (II) I810(0): #3: hsize: 1280 vsize 1024 refresh: 60 vid: 32897 (II) I810(0): Ranges: V min: 50 V max: 130 Hz, H min: 30 H max: 72 kHz, PixClock max 110 MHz (II) I810(0): Monitor name: 1772ED (II) I810(0): Serial No: 1249407921234 (II) I810(0): Will use BIOS call 0x5f05 to set refresh rates for CRTs.

Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
I've been holding back on replying for a while now, but I think you should try a simple iptables setup like this one: Excuse me, but my problem is not that my tables are not working, they work very well. I applied forwarding and masquerading, also a basic set of filtering rules which block all access from outside. My problem is that these rules i hqave defined are somehow overwritten by the net init script, with some remaining settings from my previous shorewall configuration. I compared the tables i had with shorewall with my new settings and the one who are changed by the net init script are looking the same settings i had with shorewall for input forward and output. I am sure that i have removed shorewall completely, so i guess shorewall must have altered a file which is used by the init script, so that the old settings are restored everytime i start the net init.script.

Couple of things on this. This whole community vs enterprise is making things a bit weird at the moment for ebuilds. For Innodb I highly recommend going with the enterprise build, dev-db/mysql which you've already installed, and using the ~arch version of 5.0.32. It fixes a number of high concurrency/multi thread issues in Innodb and I'd move to it sooner rather than later. Have you modified your my.cnf at all? The default Innodb settings are TINY. Assuming you have at least a 1 GB of RAM in you machine I'd bump the following setting up so that you can fit real tables into Innodb. #innodb_buffer_pool_size = 16M innodb_buffer_pool_size = 128M Innodb buffers and general Mysql buffers like key, sort, etc are managed separately. If you're starting to migrate things into Innodb from Myisam you might need to decrease some of the current buffers if you've got limit RAM. The Gentoo Mysql startup script is a bit retarded when starting Mysql with Innodb tables turned on the first time, at least with large tables and log files. I use two 512M log files in production and the startup script fails though Mysql is actually running, it's just pausing to write the log files and initial ibdata files out. In your case I'd start and stop Mysql a few times before trying to create an Innodb table just to be sure that Mysql is finished with all the file writes. I suspect the issues is Innodb not having enough memory assigned to it rather than the binary being borked. You might also try creating a simpler table in Innodb and see if you have the same issues. I'd also recommend adding the setting, innodb_file_per_table, so that each table gets it's own ibdata file in the form of lib/mysql/$db/$table.idb. It performs better and it is a bit easier to tell how big your db is on disk or which db is using all your disk. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
