RE: [gentoo-user] rsync via ssh
Try adding -e ssh to your rsync command. Search for -e in the rsync man page for an example. === This is the crontab entry (in rmason's crontab): 0,15,30,45 * * * * rmason /usr/bin/rsync -av /home/rmason backup_machine:mymachine_rmason I have passwordless ssh between mymachine and backup_machine and the rsync command in the crontab runs perfectly from the command line. Does someone know what else needs to be done to get this (seemingly simple!) task to work?
[gentoo-user] What STABLE nForce 680i based motherboard?
What STABLE nForce 680i based motherboard? I am about to build a new Gentoo system, most of the components I have already chosen and are listed at the end of this post. (It will be a Core 2 Duo E6700 based system, nForce 680i chipset with one GeForce 8800 GTS card.) For gaming (windoze) there seems to be several good motherboard choices. The issue is that while I will get in a gaming session in Windows every few days, the rest of the time the system will be running Gentoo (64-bit) and the Linux sessions need to be stable for tasks like multi-day runs of POV-Ray (and lots of compiling, of course.) Because of the stability requirement I don't plan to over-clock, except for using EPP: (so I want an nForce based system and Corsair memory.) I have read about some great motherboards for gaming but also about some stability issues with some of those boards. With the components listed below, what motherboard(s) would anyone recommend? (If you can think of better components, please mention those as well.) Anyone have any links to good nForce 680i mother-board reviews? PC Power Cooling Silencer 750 power supply Two pair of Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C5D (4GB RAM total) Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 with Thermalright Ultra-120 heat sink (and Scythe S-Flex SFF21E 120mm fan) Two Seagate Barracuda ES SATA 3.0Gb/s 500-GB Hard Drive One BFG Tech 8800 GTS 640 MB pcHDTV HD-5500 HDTV card (http://pchdtv.com/) All to fit in an existing California PC Products full tower http://www.calpc.com/catalog/full_tower.html
[gentoo-user] emerge: xorg-x11 requires gentoo-sources
On one of two gentoo (x86_64 AMD Opteron) systems I just emerged the new portage-2.1 on, emerge is requiring gentoo-sources as a dependency required by "x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7". Why? The 2nd system with an identical 2.6.16.20 vanilla-sources kernel does not have this problem.I tried removing the /usr/portage/x11-base directory and then running "emerge --sync". Which works buth then:# emerge -pv -u --deep worldThese are the packages that would be merged, in order:Calculating world dependencies /!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" have been masked.!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r7 (masked by: package.mask)# don't want gentoo-sources- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r7 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.31-r1 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.32-r5 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1 (masked by: package.mask)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r8 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r7 (masked by: package.mask)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r6 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r5 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r4 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r3 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r2 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r1 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.32-r4 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r9 (masked by: package.mask)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r8 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.(dependency required by "x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7" [ebuild])!!! Problem resolving dependencies for sys-apps/portage!!! Depgraph creation failed.=Yes, I do use /etc/portage/package.mask to mask out gentoo-sources, but I have done that for years. (Also, my 2nd system has the same package.mask and doesn't have a problem with xorg-x11.)Any suggestions on how to fix this dependencies issue? I suspect a portage cache issue that 'emerge --sync' is not fixing.
[gentoo-user] Multiple Firefox v1.5 Instances
When I was using FireFox v 1.04 I could start multiple instances of FireFox by starting FireFox like this: /usr/bin/firefox -ProfileManager Now that I am using FireFox V1.5 (Deer Park), if FireFox is already running, /usr/bin/firefox -ProfileManager does not start the profile manager, instead a new FireFox window of the already running FireFox is started. How do I start a second instance of FireFox V1.5? (I want to do this because I have different proxy settings, etc. with each different profile.) Thanks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
