[gentoo-ppc-user] new world is a type of hardware or software?
Before I thought Mac OS X is new world, being a software thing. Mac OS 9 is old world. Now I am a bit confused. If I wish to run a 3-OS system with Mac OS 9 + Mac OS X + Gentoo Linux, should I partition my harddisk in old world? I suspect I should do the following (currently I am already using Gentoo Linux on my iBook/G3) 1. backup my Linux 2. Install Mac OS 9 3. Install Mac OS X. It should help me to configure it as dual boot. while leave some empty space; 4. restore the Linux backup and run yaboot. Is this correct? Best regards Zhang Weiwu
Re: [gentoo-user] Problem building statically linked e2fsprogs
Hello (Original post too long to quote) How about building it dynamically and taking all the needed libraries as well? I had similar problem (I needed fsck.ext3 in my init ramdisk) and I just used ldd to find out what does it need. You can test if it has enough by copying the thinks indo a directory, chrooting there and trying out if it runs. I hope it helps -- When all else fails, EAT!!!

If you are sure they were patching the kernel and hence the extra options I am happy to draw a line under that line of investigation.. as i wondered if i was using the wrong kernel or something.

I have my 3 kernels yes at /usr/src with a symlink pointing to my active one which DOESN'T have any DVB stuff compiled in at all.

But if it is clever enough to know what kernel i am currently booted into and put them in the correct place accordingly then I am still stumped as i cant get this blasted card to work. Can you also recommend some kernel debug options i can turn on? Can they be done as parameters to the kernel instead of compiled in? i have plug and play debug and some USB debug but i'd like more!

[gentoo-user] libgc and the 64 bit world
Hi list, this is my first post, I am new to linux so my understanding of the all thing is quite fuzzy. I am trying to install HaxeVideo on my gentoo server, 64 bit distrib. It needs libgc and throw an error at compile time because it can't find libgc.so.1. I checked the environment variable and ld.so.env contain the path to libgc, even the /usr/lib64 path. Anyone have an idea why libgc give some trouble and if it's due to 64 bit version ? Thanks L

Re: [gentoo-user] Mediatomb media server - users permissions for /media/videoX
On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 03:05:58AM +0100, Penguin Lover Stroller squawked: I'm a little unclear as to how these permissions have been applied - shouldn't it be based either on the permissions of the mount-point directory, or added as an -o users,umask=000 in /etc/fstab ? umask only applies to file systems with no intrinsic permission settings, e.g. VFAT. The permissions for file systems with permission bits are set in the file system itself. Which is why before and after mounting the mount point may have different permission listings. In otherwords, chmod/chown/chgrp applied to the mount point with nothing mounted will change the mount point's listing when nothing is mounted, and chmod/chown/chgrp applied to the mount point after mounting will change the permissions of the actual file system. However I'm posting to solicit suggestions on the best permissions practices for this purpose. mediatomb shouldn't need write access to these files or folders at all - there's no option on the UPnP client, for instance, to delete files from the server. Should I make the drives owned by users and in the mediatomb group, with read-only access for the latter? Any other suggestions? What's so secret in your media folders that you can't just give read access to mediatomb? Why don't you have it like you have now with regards tot he owner and group and just give read permission to other? owner root group users umask 002 (i.e. you will have rwxrwxr-x or rw-rw-r-- ?) To do any fancier (say, files owned by root, read-write access for all users and read access only for mediatomb and no access for everyone else) you will probably need a real ACL with which I can offer no suggestions.

Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} cdrdao's toc2cue question
I don't understand your problem. Did you read the cdda2wav man page?

You told me that you like to have one file per track. Using cdda2wav is the best way to achieve this. Why do you now like to do the converse? I said: I like to end up with a raw/toc pair of files to act as a raw backup of the CD, and a series of individual FLAC files for each track. I like having this backup because of the potential issues introduced by having one file per track. For example: Where does the hidden track before track #1 go? Should it be prepended to file #1? If so, what if you just want to hear track #1 and not the hidden track? I like to have a raw backup of the entire CD to avoid issues brought about by splitting 1 thing into 15 things. - Grant

Re: [gentoo-user] epiphany flash
Firefox is crashing on me all the time. I searched for an alternative and came up with epiphany. I like it but I can't get flash to work. Chances are Epiphany is more stable *because* you don't have Flash in it - it often causes Firefix to crash. I recommend to either try one of the open source alternatives or install Flashblock [1].

[gentoo-user] net-misc/dhcpcd-4.0.1-r1 change of USE flags
I upgraded from net-misc/dhcpcd-3.2.3 to net-misc/dhcpcd-4.0.1-r1. I noticed that the vram USE flag is now removed and the compat USE flag added (to enable command line compatibility with the dhcpcd-3.x version). Unfortunately, this change was also noticed by my router, which will no longer serve the static IP address that I have set up on it for my laptop. I recall a similar problem occurring with a previous version and the solution was to add the vram USE flag. I could of course ring up the router manufacturers and have a go at their router implementation - but hey, they may just find my behaviour a tad unreasonable. ;-) What happens is that without the vram flag the router reads not the MAC address of, say: 01:00:1B:2F:A7:01:DF but something like this instead: FD:65:74:68:90:00:01:01:00:0E:95:9F:D7:01:00:1B:2F:A7:01:DF In other words, the router receives a ClientID probably based on the DUID field which is not recognised by the router as the correct MAC. I can set the correct IP address manually at the laptop, but what I'd rather have is a dhcpcd implementation that works with, not against my router and the fields that it expects to read. What shall I do, have a go at the router manufacturer all the same? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

The patch with -duplicates-once is from before December 2001 in a time where POSIX did not allow 64 bit inode numbers. At that time, Cygwin did not work properly as it hashed 64 bit NTFS inode numbers to 32 bit numbers. Since a long time, Cygwin just uses 64 bit inode numbers for NTFS and mkisofs has no problem to detect hard lionked files.
