[gentoo-user] Mobo/proc combination
Hey group, My trusty old computer died tonight :( I am stuck with my winders laptop for a few days until I can get in a new mobo and processor. I am looking at getting something like an AMD 64 or a Pentium D dual core. I can get one of the two models below for a really good price on newegg. AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 800MHz HT Socket 754 or Intel Pentium D 805 Smithfield 533MHz FSB 2 x 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Dual Core,EM64T Processor Both of these are in the <$150 price range for processors that I want to stay at, though I will go up to about $200 for a proc. I have always used AMD at home though never had an AMD 64 yet. If I go Intel then I would want it to have either HT or dual core. If anyone has a good suggestion for a proc < $200, please let me know. The next item is a mobo to go with the proc. For the mobo I really want SATA, PCI express, onboard audio and lan. I don't want onboard video, I will get a newer Nvida card to handle video. All the onboard stuff must work under Gentoo, I won't have MS on the new box. I am not sure if I should go intel or amd64. I am not looking for an amd vs intel flame war, just suggestions based on personal experience. This box will be my main home computer running Gentoo. I am a programmer so I want a system that will be fast for compiling, some Linux games from time to time, uh... compiling Gentoo : ), watching videos/dvd's and maybe 1-2 times a year I will encode a video. Thanks for any tip, Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It went with an Asrock 775 Twins-HDTV mobo - a nice array of features but I don't know about linux support b/c they're windows only users... Thanks for the info, I will look into that mobo support for Linux. Whatever you do, don't go HT. It's not worth the effort. By HT do you mean AMD 64 Hyper-Transport or Pentium Hyper-Threading?

The wireless would not work, neither would the regular network port. I first tried to boot with the kernel parameter acpi=off. This worked for me, however I then lost all acpi funtions so I could not use SpeedStep or see how much battery life I had. I kept searchig and found irqpoll as a kernel boot option. Using that fixed my wireless up and allowed me to get my battery status. I think it all had to do with irq sharing and conflicts. Try booting up with the irqpool kernel boot option or the acpi=off boot option and see what you get. Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The problem is that I cannot even *mount* it as a regular user.

The interesting part is where stat64 is called on /sbin/mount.cifs.
/sbin/mount.cifs is a symlink to ../usr/bin/mount.cifs. Maybe mount

[gentoo-user] Multi-DVD backup
Does anyone know of an app/script for doing a multi-DVD backup of my ~/? My ~/ is 10GB so I will need something that could do a little compression and create as many DVD iso images as needed. I was thinking of just tar.gzing my ~/ and then splitting that file to sizes to fit on a DVD and then make the ISO.

[gentoo-user] Wireless Channel
Does anyone know of a tool for Linux or Windows that will see what is the best channel to use? I have a desktop (gentoo) and a laptop (XP) on my home network. My wireless router is a D-Link DI-524. The desktop is wired to a port and the laptop is wireless with an Intell Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG. I have noticed connection issues when I SSH into my desktop from the laptop. I can connect and after anywhere from 30 seconds to about 3 minutes, the conneciton locks up and then is lost. I thought it was an issue with ssh so I opened up telnet, however I get the same issue. I use the desktop all the time and never notice any issues when I download from the net. I am wondering if it is a wireless issue? The strange thing is that I am using the laptop now and I cam getting about 4Mbs download fromthe net. However, as soon as I use cygwin or putty to ssh/telnet in to the desktop, the connection gets crappy. I also noticed the connection issues if I try to use sambe from gentoo to XP.

Try out each and restart X to see what works. Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

No. Though the file system type can have an affect on performance if
there are a lot of files/directories. For example, reiserfs is much
faster at handling a lot of files than ext[23]. What file system are
you using?

I would think it is the ftp software and not the file system or
server. 19,000 is not a huge number. I have an AMD64 3200+ with 2 GB
of dual channel DDR 400 and a SATA II drive with reiserfs v3. The
system is "speedy" but certainly nothing high end. Here is a test I
just did:

I actually was going to build an x86 version under my amd64 Gentoo. I was planing on having them on different partitions for testing. Right now I am running Gentoo amd64 though I see some issues with not being able to run some crap proprietary software that is binary only and needs to load binary only 32-bit modules into the kernel. So I was going to have two Gentoo's installed to boot into. One 64-bit and one 32-bit. If I found 32-bit to be just as nice as 64-bit, I was planning on just switching to that. I extracted an i686 stage3 tarball into /mnt/gentoo and I was going to build from there in chroot. Once the initial build is done I was going to stay in chroot and build X, fluxbox and a few other apps I need to be running. Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I have 2G. Couldn't I do 32-bit userland and 32-bit kernel? The reason for a 32-bit kernel is because I need to compile the Nortel VPN client and it is binary only crap and has 32-bit only binary modules. Well, the code actually uses a module wrapper which I can compile 64-bit but then it barfs trying to link with the 32-bit only modules provided. I have not found any other way to connect to my works VPN than with the Nortel VPN client and even that is tough to get to work. Out of curiosity, how would I do a 32-bit userland with 64-bit kernel? Would I just change CHOST to x86_64 when I compile the kernel? Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] OT: Gnome widget keys
Hello all, Does anyone know some of the common keys for Gnome widgets or maybe a link to some docs? Searching Google hasn't show anything besides basic shortcut keys. I am looking for functional keys. For example, in this screenshot: http://keeliegirl.dyndns.org/temp/Screenshot.png I have Sylpheed running. I am trying to find out how to expand the threads in the list view. Under MS you usually can just press the left or right arrow keys to exapand a treeview, though that does not work here. I hate having to take my hands off the keyboard just to expand a thread. I found that I can set shortcut keys in Sylpheed by highlighting the menu item and pressing a key. However I only found shortcuts for expand/collapse all in Sylpheed and I would rather expand just one thread. Thanks, Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I am able to run a full WinXP development environment under Linux with VMWare. That includes SQL Server, Visual Sutdio .Net 2005, IIS, etc. I also run my VPN client under VMWare. The linux version is borked and doesn't want to work. The windows version runs fine and lets connect to work through VMWare. The only thing I recommend is having at least 1 GB memory, maybe you could get by with 768 MB. I have 2 GB right now. With 2 GB I give WinXP a full 512 MB and tell VMWare to not swap to disk, and the performance is pretty impressive. Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Metacity and window focus
I noticed that metacity doesn't bring new windows to the front. For example if I click on an email link in Firefox, a new mail window pops up from sylpheed, though it stays in the background and I see the little taskbar item blink. This seems broken to me. I am running metacity 2.14.1. Does anyone notice this in the previous version? Here is an example: http://keeliegirl.dyndns.org/temp/metacity.html Is there a setting in metacity to make it bring a new window to the front?

[gentoo-user] usenet and web mail
Does anyone know of a good web based usenet reader? I would like to read my groups from work, however port 119 is blocked. I can tunnel from work to home, though I would prefer a web based app. I can check my home email from work thanks to SquirrelMail and would like to do the same with usenet. I am not sure if I should try a news2mail type setup or not. One more question. Does anyone have a recommendation for a web-based email client? I am happy with SquirrelMail, though the interface is a little old and featureless. I would like something more modern. The only real requirment is IMAP support.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: usenet and web mail
I didn't like it that much. I didn't see an option to thread the responses and I would really like some type of simple killfile to be able to not show the trolls. The best I have found so far is Newega. However Newega is a closed source perl based app and is missing some features I would like. I would really like the app to be open source so I can tweak it to fit my needs. I want kill file support. The only reason I am not happy with thunderbird is because is stinks for killfile support for usenet.

I could never figure out how to get ssh tunneling working. So I just have my firewall forward port 443-> 22, 21->5900, 8080->119...

For example, what would be the ssh command to connect from WORK to HOME and tunnel port 5900 from HOME to WORK so that I can run vnc at WORK to localhost:: and really be connecting to HOME. ssh is listening on port 443 on HOME.

Do you have your terminal set to create a login shell? I noticed that /etc/profile will source /etc/profile.d/*.sh when you log in. However if you look in /etc/profile.d/, bash-completion gets installed as bash-completion and not bash-completion.sh. So it appears to never get sourced. I renamed it to bash-completion.sh and it works for me. I also set gnome-terminal to create a login shell. A login shell will source /etc/profile and /etc/bash/bashrc where as a non-login shell will only source /etc/bash/bashrc. Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

"$sh" fi done And here is /etc/profile.d/ total 13K drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 112 Apr 19 14:14 ./ drwxr-xr-x 81 root root 4.6K Apr 24 18:48 ../ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 134 Apr 19 14:14 alias.sh* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 724 Apr 18 20:45 bash-completion.sh* Make sure the permissions on /etc/profile.d/bash-completion.sh are 755.

Label one entry Home and the other Work. Have the Home kernel entry have an extra kernel command line option like so: title=Gentoo Linux (Home) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/sda1 NO-DHCP extra boot option ^^^ Now just modify your /etc/init.d/ script for DHCP to look for NO-DHCP in /proc/cmdline. Now you can use grep: grep NO-DHCP /proc/cmdline FOUND=$? if [ $FOUND -eq 0 ]; then # NO-DHCP was found in boot cmdline, don't start DHCP else # NO-DHCP was NOT found in boot cmdline, start DHCP fi I have never had a need to run a DHCP server so there is probably a way to do it with DHCP. However, this is Linux and Linux was made for tinkering, so use whatever you like best. : ) Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I did get it to work. I will file a bug with Gentoo about the install CD missing the ipw2200 firmware. For those interested here is what I needed to do. My laptop is a new Toshiba and has an Intel Pro ipw2200 based wireless along with a wired eth0. However the wired nic is a Marvell Tech. piece of junk and does not work. So the only two options I had were to get my ipw2200 working, which I knew worked under Ubuntu or try my D-Link pc card. The PC card did not work. What I did was boot with the latest Ubuntu install CD. It is very nice and is a full working Gnome system. That CD did have the needed ipw2200 firmware binaries so I could get to the net. However, it did not have a compile tool chain so I could not build Gentoo chroot with it. I used the Ubuntu CD to cfdisk my partitions just like I would with Gentoo. I then downloaded the firmware (I grabbed every version to be safe) to the new partitions and booted with the Gentoo install CD. I then modprob -r ipw220, turned off the hardware switch for my wireless card and extracted all the firmware tarballs. Flipped the wireless switch on, modprobe ipw2200 and net-setup eth1. I then had to manually us iwconfig and then I was able to ping my gateway and get to the net. I get to have Gentoo on my vacation!
