I guess the English phrase '5 minutes' is a symlink to another longer phrase: 'A reasonably short period of time that doesn't cause me massive amounts of inconvenience'. I have a spare 2.6.23-gentoo source tree here with everything enabled. With no changes to the config a second 'make' still takes 2m29.414s 2 to 3 boots with a new kernel version, especially one where sub-systems like libata got moved around, sounds perfectly reasonable. > > > Removing all these unused drivers is the single largest improvement > > in reducing kernel size.

Seeing as almost every other mainstream distro gives you a full-featured kernel with all modules included and /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ weighs in at around 400M, I'd say no, it's not worth worrying about. Some people do worry about it, and that's cool for them. Some folk do lots of kernel testing, if they have 10 kernel versions on disk then it does become a factor. The beauty of gentoo is that if you don't feel like caring, you don't have to. alan -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

No, it's not relevant in this case. vmware is a virtualisation app, but doesn't use a hypervisor - it's a regular application with some custom kernel modules. kvm, xen and (I think) qemu do use hypervisors so this feature needs to be in the kernel for them. Virtualisation is a vast field covering many many different techniques, each with their own pros and cons. The technique vmware uses makes it very easy to install, use and configure your virtual machine (it's just a bunch of big files), but the performance frankly sucks. At the other extreme you get VServer which runs like a bomb but is tightly tied onto the host machine running it. Somewhere in the middle we have xen and it's simpler cousin kvm - due to hypervisors they give very good performance and are relatively easy to configure and maintain. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Autofs or ivman?
Hi there, I was on #gentoo yesterday asking about autofs & someone recommended ivman instead. Which does gentoo-users think I should use? My principal interest is in NFS mounting /usr/portage on my PS3 & an old laptop, as neither has a lot of disk-space - I have an always-on server that can export the directory - but also in mounting a bunch of /media/video/[0..9]/ directories. I guess I'm likely to use CD / DVD in the near future & USB / CF flash memory at some point in the future - I can imagine it being desirable to have the system mount one device as /mnt/external- harddrive and another at /media/photos (determined by device / vendor ID?) but I'm not sure if this is the job of the automounter or udev? Reading the autofs howto [1], it bothers me that common practice is to have a bunch of /mnt/auto/foo, /mnt/auto/bar, directories symlinked into the places they're REALLY supposed to go. Another guide makes a /var/autofs/ tree of directories, but whatever - why do I have to have this extra clutter of all these extra symlinks?!?! I just want the network filesystem to be mounted in some sensible place, just as if I'd typed `mount server:/usr/portage /usr/portage`. I appreciate there's probably a good reason for the way autofs works, bit it does make ivman look more interesting. My concern with ivman is that googling it doesn't turn up a bunch of beginners' guides the way googling autofs does. The ivman howto [3] discusses incompatibility problems with different versions, and indicates that the /etc/init.d/script isn't provided by the ebuild, but must be managed outside of portage. I don't have a problem with that, per-se, but it suggests to me that ivman isn't so well supported, a suggestion which seems to be supported by ivman's sourceforge page [4] which was last updated February last year and which says "Ivman is currently developed by ?" So it's a bit of a dilemma for me. Because of my compulsive nature, autofs' clutter of symlinks really bothers me, and ivman's ConfigActions look really powerful - it looks like you can have it automatically exec a command when a specific device is plugged in, for instance. But I want to set this up once & forget it - I really don't want to be learning & configuring now a package which will be unsupported in the future. Thanks in advance for any comments, Stroller.

It seems I walk through a bewildering array of stuff that when pressing F1 on them I get more bewildering information I barely understand a word of. For 8 or 9 yrs now I've mostly skirted the issue by using defaults. ... I'm not going to read all the details of all of the responses which have appeared here already, so here's my take. 1) The people who configure the kernel options for commercial distros are very experienced geeks. 2) I am unlikely to make sufficient performance savings by funroll- looping my own kernel to justify the time I'll spend doing so. Now I periodically grab a copy of the latest knoppix CD I can find - I use these a lot, anyway - and take a copy the kernel .config from there. Chances are the kernel I want to compile on my Gentoo system is a little newer than the one from the Knoppix CD, so I run `make oldconfig` and add in most everythign as modules. I take a couple of minutes to look for my network card's driver in `make menuconfig` and compile it in statically. This results in a kernel config which surely supports all the hardware in my system. An awful lot of the drivers & also additional drivers that I don't need compiled as modules - perfect! If I need them they're loaded in dynamically at boot time, if not they don't consume any system resources. Stroller. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I recompiled with ehci and uhci as modules, then ran rmmod ehci-hcd Since my wireless ethernet adapter is also a usb module, the output is a little verbose, so my apologies in advance for the length of the dmesg output below. That did seem to get the card working, so I then recompiled a kernel with uhci support only, and I was then able to attach the device. This seems to be a little extreme, however, as I know this device maps correctly on my desktop in ehci mode.

Dilemmas like this are best resolved by finding out what problem a technology was designed to solve. A good example of the kind of problem autofs solves is exporting home directories on a large server that has many accounts, used in conjunction with NFS and NIS, and anyone can log in from any workstation at any time. This scenario is common - think thin clients Say you have 100 accounts and user joe logs onto the network. You *could* export /home to his workstation, but that exposes everyone else's homedir as well. With autofs you essentially tell the server that this is user joe, it exports his home dir on the fly, creates a directory /home/joe on his workstation (/home must already exist)and mounts the NFS export there. Now, you don't appear to be doing something like that :-) You can do many wonderful things with autofs, but it often involves complex hacks and workarounds, which is the impetus for other solutions to be developed, like ivman. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Exim does output a 550 anyway (and it makes some sense, I guess the SMTP protocol definition is impractical w/ regard to the allowed errors). But reading the full error report, it seems it's your spam detection software that leads exim to deny the mail. Your exim config seems to indicate that everything with a spam score > 6.0 is to be denied (those numbers in the config are given with a factor of ten, I guess?). Depending on whether the full spam check report is available on the logs, you might want to temporarly disable that mail denial and check the mail headers for the protocol of which certain spam checks leads your spam filter to the conclusion it is spam, then adjust that. -hwh -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I don't I'm afraid . . . but you may want to sent a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (substitute listname for user, or whichever ML you want to unsubscribe from) to see if there is a ML admin email address in the help message that will be sent to you.

I found the AHCI option and enabled it. Of course he wanted to get back to gaming so we tried to boot back into Windows but XP goes blue screen at the first disk access with AHCI enabled. Possibly XP might work if it installed with AHCI enabled but typical of Windows it doesn't like configuration changes after it's installed. Is there any other solution for this or is the only Linux support going to require AHCI? It is unfortunately not reasonable or practical to switch BIOS options when choosing which OS to boot. He uses a special gaming keyboard that doesn't seem able to get into BIOS so we're having to attach an old keyboard to do this. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] How to update portage offline with minimal impact?

Essentially it's possible. I think the steps required are: - download a portage snapshot as you would in an initial install, or create your own from another gentoo machine (more info here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=5#installing_portage) - you may need to run `emerge --metadata` after unpacking it, or something like that - someone else can comment here :) - then follow your manual download instructions: `emerge -ufpDN world` and download all these packages on another box - transfer the packages to /usr/portage/distfiles, and check you got them all with `emerge -ufDN world`. You should have no fetch errors. - then go! `emerge -uvaDN world` Notes: - when creating your own snapshot, exclude /usr/portage/distfiles, /usr/portage/packages, (and others?) - I would recommend -N as you might see some new features since you haven't updated in a while Hopefully someone will fix any holes I left, otherwise this should work! -- Iain Buchanan There's a lot to be said for not saying a lot. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

You tried that? It should have mentioned this when hplip was installed but sometimes we miss those messages. ;-) Other than this, I may be out of ideas. Dale :-) :-)
[gentoo-user] ip_conntrack - is it missing
I'm working my way thru this document: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Iptables_and_stateful_firewalls Somewhere in this part: #Should_I_take_this_tutorial (add it to the above url) Once there scan for the work /proc and a few hits will get you to this line: (emphasis is mine) If you've already rebooted and are using your new netfilter-enabled kernel, you can view a list of active network connections that your machine is participating in by typing "cat/proc/net/ip_conntrack". Even with no firewall configured, Linux's conntrack functionality is working behind the scenes, keeping track of the connections that your machine is participating in. I don't see that on a machine where I've tried to pick every iptable and contrack setting for the kernel I could find. Including the ones on that page that are still around. find /proc -iname '*conntrack*' or even find /proc -iname '*con*' Turns up nothing even close. Does it mean I'm still missing something in the kernel build? or is it just baloney or out of date? It claims you should see this even if you aren't running iptables yet -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Hi, you can simply check our kernel config by typing: cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -i conntrack IIRC, there should be the lines CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_ENABLED=m CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=m CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4=m with either 'm' or 'y'. Sometimes the order of enabling functions in the kernel matter to see all iptables options. The conntrack options are located under Networking -> Networking support -> Networking options -> Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter) -> Core Netfilter -> Configuration -> Netfilter Xtables support (required for ip_tables) -> "conntrack" connection tracking match support.

I read somewhere that hpijs was no longer being maintained and that hplip was the "new thing" to use. Not sure why tho. Also may be worth noting that hplip used to be a service that was started as well. /etc/init.d/hplip start used to work. The latest update got rid of the service and I guess it just runs when it is needed. Dale :-) :-)

Yet when I try to select the driver for my printer, hpijs is the only option of the two. I know that hplip includes hpijs, but I was looking for a driver called hplip and didn't see it... -- Randy Barlow http://electronsweatshop.com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I may be forgetting something it said to do. Also, check your error logs. Should be in /var/log. Depends on what logger you use as to the name of it. Mine is messages tho. Post back what you find out from that. May give us a clue. Dale :-) :-)
