[gentoo-user] Mono/C#: cannot listen with TcpChannel
Hi,
Having trouble with TcpChannel throwing an exception:
$ cat temp_test.cs
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Runtime.Remoting;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp;

public static void Main()
{
try
{
TcpChannel ch = new TcpChannel(8895);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(Exception while attempting to
listen on TCP port 8895.);
throw (ex);
}
}
}
$ mcs -r:System.Runtime.Remoting.dll temp_test.cs
temp_test.cs(13,28): warning CS0219: The variable `ch' is assigned but
its value is never used

I also tried the example at
http://www.gotmono.com/docs/remoting/introduction.html but this
exhibits the same problem.
I'm new to Mono development, so I'm not too familiar with all its
libraries and/or components. Could I be missing something that's in
portage?
Thanks in advance,

[gentoo-user] Script to kill long-running application
Dear, I'm looking for a script that can kill an application after it has been running for a 'long' time. I like to measure the start time (as it offloads work, the CPU time time is not a good estimate). Does anyone have something useful or some pointers to something I can use for this? Preferably the script should monitor the processes that are currently running. Thanks, - Joris -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] driver for ATI RAdeon HD3650
Selon [EMAIL PROTECTED]: What would be the best driver for a ATI RAdeon HD3650 graphic interface ? Preferably Open Source. Thanks for sharing your experience I finally install ATI proprietary driver, as it seems to be the only one to fully support this HD3650 card. It emerges fine, but when trying to launch X, it gives up with the message PreInitDAL failed. What is this DAL thing ? What can I do ?

[gentoo-user] sys-libs/-MERGING-pam
Hi,
I'm just about done cleaning up a machine that I haven't touched in
a while. For the first time I used eix-test-obsolete to look for
inconsistencies in the portage config files. It worked wel. The
machine is clean in terms of emerge -DuN world;emerge
--depclean;revdep-rebuild. However I am left with one strange package
that doesn't exit. I'm thinking sys-libs/-MERGING-pam is left over
from some emerge that possibly failed and would like to clean it up. I
does exist in /var/db/pkg but I've never touched anything in these
dirfectories by hand so I'd like to know the right way to go about
this.
The other few packages that failed in eix-test-obsolete allowed an
emerge -C but this one doesn't.
Thanks,
Mark

[gentoo-user] portage nfs permissions
Hi all, I'm trying to set up the portage directory to be hosted over nfs. Everything is working great but I would like to increase the security a little. I was wondering if there's an easy way to restrict 'emerge --sync' to only work on the server, while still letting all the nfs client machines download sources and emerge packages. I was thinking of doing an 'all_squash' on the server, then changing the /distfiles directory to give group write to the anongid account. I've tried this with no luck. I keep getting an error trying to fetch the package. I'm assuming it has something to do with the lock files that emerge uses to prevent multiple downloads of the same package source. I've tried to google to find a working configuration like this, but so far I've come up empty. Does anyone else have some ideas on how I can get this to work? Thanks, Chris Frederick -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Uwe I have a number of overlay ebuilds that I need in place that override specific versions of packages, and I don't want various users to 'emerge --sync' too often and break things by installing a non-patched package that has an old overlay. This way I can also keep all the clients at the same revs of everything and avoid various bugs with things like pam/vmware/kernels/graphics drivers/etc... Plus there's the whole bandwidth saving issue. The biggest reason is so someone doesn't get a newer pam_usb or pam_ldap than the overlay versions and then can't login anymore.

In my experience at least this causes emerge to hang on NFS clients for lockfiles that don't even exist on the server. Also see the man page for make.conf. Actually I don't think there will be any race conditions. IIRC portage will check to see if the file already exists in distfiles, if it does it will compare checksums, if it fails then the emerge fails. So worst case scenario is that one or more simultaneous emerges will fail.

[gentoo-user] HP dv9000 video hang
Hello,
I have an hp laptop that works except when the
screen goes blank (screen saver kicking in). If I boot the system and use it
for a whille, all is fine. If I leave the system for a short
while, I can never get it back after the screen blanks. No matter
which keys I touch the screen stays blank. I'm running
kde 3.5.8 on it. It's mostly a stable system. Once and while,
when it boots, the kernel just hangs, alway at the same place.
The first line starts with the word clock.
I found this hack:
http://www.gus-mg.org/dig/dv9205us.html
which may be related to my problem. Somehow I'm guessing
it is something to do with ACPI (not sure). When I go
through the kde control center to {power control} -
{laptop battery} - {ACPI Config tab}, the all options
are just fuzzed out (unsetable). Ideas on getting this
working or another method to check the ACPI settings is
most appreciated.
The system boots just fine into XP and after the screen blanks
just touching the return key brings it back (like all of my other
gentoo laptops I manage for other folks).
I'm not doing anything different (that I'm aware of) with
the kernel compared to other systems. The laptop
has not always done this. At first, the clock boot hang
was rare. Now it happens more frequently, maybe every 5th
bootup.
I set the screen blanker to the clock option and that has seemed to
fix the recovery problem when the screen saver kicks in.
Ideas where to look to fix the clock boot hang problem
and setting the ACPI options are appreciated.
