I think Dan just did just misinterpret your question for something much more basic. In fact, you're specifically asking for portage's binhost configuration, i.e. binary package generation and distribution. I don't think that portage is currently very good at that, especially regarding the configurability of the binary package fetching. If I were you, I'd rather use sshfs or similar in order to give access to the main binary repository and then use emerge -K instead of emerge -g. That way you're somewhat on the safe side. Another option would be to setup the binhost for HTTPS and make the clients aware of the correct cert's public representation. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] ssh connections time out
Hi All, I have noticed this problem when I try to connect to two different machines in two different continents. One is on cable (US) the other on ISDN ADSL (Greece). In the evening and sometimes weekends ssh connections from my laptop to these two PCs are either taking ages or time out. This is ssh connections to sshd which is listening to random ports in the 200+ or 12000+ ranges. If I eventually manage to connect the latency is ridiculous - up to 5 seconds! Sometimes I enter a passwd, if I can get that far and then wait for hours with no response. Eventually, I have to close the terminal. Tracerouting does not get through although some clever tcptraceroute strings may on occasions (intermittently) get through. Both servers run on domestic networks. BTW, ssh-ing to servers in datacenters with their big fiber-optic pipes, although relatively slow in peak times, always gets through. The strange thing is that there is no problem talking to these boxen while they run Google-Talk, it's only the ssh connection that seems to suffer. Have you come across such a problem before? How can I troubleshoot it? In this day and age of broadband connections it seems strange to get worse performance than on a dialup network . . . I mean I have run VNC connections over a 56k dial up with more responsiveness than this! -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] WIn2003 interfering Samba ?
Hello, I have an Samba server as a PDC running in a local network. Everything works fine. Now we installed a Windows 2003 Small Business Server with MS SQL in the network, because one application needs the MS SQL Server.. Honestly I have no great knowledge of MS Server and Networks, so I left it pretty much untouched. Now two clients are not able anymore to access the shares on the samba server which an strange error message (in German in fact) meaning something like cannot retrieve informations from domain controller. I never saw that before and now i am concerned that the windows server is interfering somehow with the Samba PDC. Any ideas ? Hints ? Thanks Stonki -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Can you (or someone else) check if there are any problems with this? Another cause could be that the ISP (you did mention these are domestic networks) is throttling/blocking certain ports/services/connection types. I have heard of ISPs in NL and Belgium (not sure if it's true) that tend to change these policies depending on the time of day. This could also be done by your ISP.

However, I did notice that when I click on CDROM from nautilus there's a message about HAL; again, though, it cannot be a hardware issue as these particular discs and drives work in another distro on the same machine. If the discs and drives work on the same machine with a different distro, then I agree, the hardware should work. Also, as the /dev/ entries exist and it doesn't complain about that, the drives are probably detected correctly. I believe it to be a driver issue (HAL is a hardware driver? Hardware Abstraction Layer? But isn't it more BIOS than OS?). I'll double check things with some data discs on the other distro in the next few days and do some more googling (and wikipedia-ing). Can you also check with datadiscs on the Gentoo installation? I agree with the others that audio-discs are generally not mountable.

Hi all, Little history: like many on this ML I decided that the time has come to switch over to the 64bit computing and went with fresh LiveDVD install of gentoo. Cruel reality: After doing stage3 install and making syncing portage I'm failing updates on gcc and sandbox - both complaining: configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. for sandbox there was a suggestion of turning off sandbox in FEATURES. I did that. In fact my FEATURES is absolutely empty at this point and it's still a no-go. Now before I go and post this in bugs.gentoo.org I'd like to know if maybe it's an 64-bit FAQ and I'm doing something wrong.

However, I did notice that when I click on CDROM from nautilus there's a message about HAL; again, though, it cannot be a hardware issue as these particular discs and drives work in another distro on the same machine. If the discs and drives work on the same machine with a different distro, then I agree, the hardware should work. Also, as the /dev/ entries exist and it doesn't complain about that, the drives are probably detected correctly. I believe it to be a driver issue (HAL is a hardware driver? Hardware Abstraction Layer? But isn't it more BIOS than OS?). I'll double check things with some data discs on the other distro in the next few days and do some more googling (and wikipedia-ing). Can you also check with datadiscs on the Gentoo installation? I agree with the others that audio-discs are generally not mountable. The FUSE-driver for Audio-discs might be installed on your other distro (Redhat?), but is not installed by default with Gentoo. If this sheds any light: arrakis ~ # arrakis ~ # dmesg | grep 'cd' ehci_hcd :00:03.3: EHCI Host Controller Snipped dmesg-output When I do the above command, it only shows me the cd/dvd writer, not the cdrom drive. Can you post the full output of dmesg after you booted the system? I think it's more on shutdown that I notice lotsa weird messages about the cdrom drive(s) since futzing with /etc/fstab. Can you also give us the contents of your /etc/fstab file? Haven't followed up all of this thread, but it may well be a clash between hald/dbus trying to control your media devices and your fstab. Entries in the latter are only applicable if you want to be mounting such devices manually. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[gentoo-user] Converting HTML to PDF or PS
I need to convert web pages to PDF files under program control, perhaps from cron, perhaps a backgrounded batch job. An X window enviornment could probably be set up, but I'd prefer not going thru that hassle. Point and click manual intervention just won't do. These web pages use Javascript; some render so-so without javascript, some don't render at all well. What I would like is some firefox (or Konqueror or ...) command line option to render the page and save it as any other format -- jpg, pdf, ps, doesn't matter. Cups-pdf sounds like it might help, if I could use command line options to tell firefox to print the page. I see that firefox 3 will have a print to PDF option, and that might be good enough, but it's not available now, and there'd need to be some way of starting firefox and telling it to print under program control. Firefox has some command line options to help, such as height and width. And none of them (that I can find) do anything useful like print to pdf and exit. I am open to any suggestions which can be automated. If a perl program could run firefox as a child under X and feed it X input, or a perl CPAN module which understands javascript, or even if there are commercial programs which do this, I am all ears. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.

[gentoo-user] ddcxinfo-knoppix on amd64
Anyone have any clue on how to force use of r32 registers instead of
default (r64) registers? I need this to get ddcxinfo-knoppix working
on amd64.
The code block in particular is in ddcxinfo-knoppix-0.6/lrmi.c:
asm volatile (std; ins* : =D (edi) : d (edx), 0, (edi));
It's too much work for me to port all of the asm to 64-bit so how do I
force the register sizes to be 32-bit?
