Re: [gentoo-user] Experiences with amd richland or trinity APUs?

Re: [gentoo-user] Stream Audio to RasPi on LAN
I personally have this setup running on Windows on my home network.

It's by far yhe easiest solution I could come up with. Even lets me stream 1080p movies. I'm sure a similar setup could be achieved with the linux version of XBMC.

Re: [gentoo-user] Ram Problem!
There is absolutely no reason why you can't use the vanilla kernel. Go right ahead. On Dec 24, 2012 10:08 AM, Teodor Spæren teodor.s...@hotmail.com wrote: Hello!

Re: [gentoo-user] [HEADS UP] udev-181
Just a minor correction. It's CONFIG_DEVTMPFS not CONFIG_DEV_TMPFS :) I just had a bit of a scare after updating to udev-181, but all is well now, finally. (I hope :) In addition to the separate /usr problem that has already been discussed at length here, there are other important changes in udev-181 to be aware of. First, I had to add two new items to my kernel config: CONFIG_DEV_TMPFS (which I thought I'd had for years but didn't) and CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL. I also elected to make the devfs automounting, but I don't think that was really necessary. Second, don't forget like I did to update the udev initscripts with etc-update or your machine won't be able to find the udev files in their new locations (just like mine didn't) and none of your kernel modules will auto-load, either. Oh, and of course you need to pre-mount /usr before udev starts if you have a separate /usr partition -- but you already knew that ;)

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Hardware Problems causing kernel panics during large compiles
Update time. Today, still running on the integrated Radeon HD 3300, I did an upgrade to chromium again. BAM! Kernel panic. Recoverable, but the compilation failed again. So, the NVIDIA 9800GT has been out since my last message and I am apparently getting the kernel panics again. I suppose it was luck that I got through the upgrade last time. So looks like I'll be getting a new motherboard. Jason Weisberger jbdu...@gmail.com

Cheers, Mark Well, it's boiled down to either the motherboard or the graphics card due to the fact that everything compiles properly and there are no blue screens or kernel panics after removing the 9800GT. I'm going to get my hands on an HD 4850 from a buddy of mine and try compiling and playing with that. If it crashes again, it's motherboard. If not, it's probably my card.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Hardware Problems causing kernel panics during large compiles
Here's the rig: AMD Phenom II X3 720 (unlocked to 4 cores and OC'd to 3 Ghz, however taking it back to stock doesn't affect the problem) 4 Gigs DDR3-1600 at 7-7-7-16 ASUS ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 Mobo MSI N9800GT GeForce 9800 GT 512MB other less important things would be two 320GB SATA drives, an IDE dvd writer, internal card reader, blah blah There are two things I can get this system to consistently lock up while doing: a large compilation such as Chromium, open office, or GCC, or playing Age of Conan in my separate Windows 7 partition. For normal everyday tasks, I can't lock the thing up. The system even plays WoW on maximum settings, Skyrim on max, Counter-Strike Source on max, 1080p youtube or local videos / movies. Watching the processor temp stays relatively low, the GPU temp stays normal, north bridge temp is good. The kernel panics I get are usually recoverable, I can just F7 back into my desktop and the compile may or may not still be going. If it is, it's usually dead by the third or fourth panic. Memtest86+ ran for 24 hours and found no issues with memory on 18 passes. So, pretty much where I'm at is either processor or RAM. Unless anybody here has a better idea. And how could I test whether it was the processor or RAM without any current replacement parts? What tests usually show one over the other? -- Jason Weisberger jbdu...@gmail.com

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] GMail calling has an echo in Linux, but not Windows
Any chance your sound card supports looping its output back around as a monitor capture device? I haven't the slightest clue. I have a SB X-Fi Gamer. The other piece of information I forgot to leave out was that I'm using a separate USB microphone, however I figured noise cancellation was done on the ALSA or Pulseaudio level, so which driver(s) are being used for the cards should be irrelevant. However, I could be wrong. -- Jason Weisberger jbdu...@gmail.com
[gentoo-user] Re: [OT] GMail calling has an echo in Linux, but not Windows
How are you listening to the audio? Headphones, speakers, telephone? I'm using speakers and an external usb microphone at the moment. As I said, this same setup works perfectly in Windows 7. I'm sure that if I were to connect a headset the issue would go away, but that still doesn't explain the problem. I have also tried the home phone thing, and while i think it's neat, I find it a bit pointless for me, I'm using Google Talk to save minutes on my cell phone plan.
[gentoo-user] Re: [OT] GMail calling has an echo in Linux, but not Windows
Can you hear yourself through the speakers when talking into the microphone? If yes, that means you need to disable the loopback in alsamixer. Noise cancellation doesn't seem to work at all. Noise cancellation doesn't have anything to do with that. You're thinking of echo cancellation. I'm sorry you are correct, I meant to say echo cancellation as in the subject. I cannot hear myself, the person on the other end can hear themselves.
[gentoo-user] Re: [OT] GMail calling has an echo in Linux, but not Windows
Another option is to use a small USB sound device. My headphones came with one, for example. They can be really nice for reducing electrical noise in the capture channel, too. They also occasionally crop up where you might not expect them. I picked up an HP 'travel' USB hub some time back, and was surprised to discover it had a built-in NIC, mic input and stereo out. Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong, but those usually have built in echo cancellation. Most usb speaker/mic combos do. I believe I'm relying on software in my case.
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: [OT] GMail calling has an echo in Linux, but not Windows
Still looks like loopback is active. Try to find a slider called Capture in alsamixer and mute it. There might also be a setting called input which can be set to i2c, i2s, mix, etc. Play with these. I had the same problem with a Soundblaster Live 24-bit, and the problem was that it was set mix, which is a setting that allows you to record whatever is currently playing. It's a good thing to have, but as you can imagine, screws with voice communications, because you're recording not only your own voice, but also the voice of the other person and sending it back right to them. It's also possible to set this in KMix, but I don't know if you're using KDE. Trying your suggestion.

Sorry to answer some of my own questions, but I seem to have resolved the slotting problems with --backtrace=30 Don't know what the hell that option even does, I'll investigate later.

I checked the voltages and it appears to be set to 1.5. It was set to auto, when I selected manual, it said 1.5v. I don't know for sure that is what it is when it is running tho. That could just be where it starts when in manual mode. Since it is working now, I set it back to auto. Don't want there to be anything, so I ain't going to start anything either. ;-) According to gkrellm, Vcore1 is 1.39. Vcore2 is 1.52. I assume that is Vcore2. I just bought my memory sticks in the past month or so for the last three. The first stick I got was about 2 months ago. Maybe the new ones are improved or something? How long you had yours? Is there some way to check on BIOS settings while booted into Linux? I'm talking about things like timings and such. I have gkrellm set up for some stuff. Just don't see timings and such in there. Just curious tho. Dale :-) :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] Microcode update AMD
As he said in the previous message, there are almost never changelogs for microcode updates. I do, however, have to disagree with *never* disabling microcode updates. If I recall properly, the AMD Phenom II 720 was able to be unlocked to 4 cores via a misconfiguration that enabled it with ACC. AMD later corrected this issue with a microcode update. True, some motherboards worked around that fix a different way, but if you had a first gen board with ACC support you *had* to have the old microcode for it to work. The update killed your free core :) On Jan 17, 2011 3:06 PM, meino.cra...@gmx.de wrote: Volker Armin Hemmann volkerar...@googlemail.com [11-01-17 20:16]: On Monday 17 January 2011 18:21:48 meino.cra...@gmx.de wrote: Hi, I have two questions: 1) Do I have to enable microcode updates in the BIOS of my Crosshair IV Formula to activate microcodes push in the CPU by the module microcode ?

The word probably implies that you have no idea what the statistics were on getting a perfectly good core were or why they disabled entire batches of cores based on an error from one. You are just overdriving your point. If he doesn't want to enable updation of microcode, it won't hurt anything. If it was functioning fine before, it will also be fine without an update. There is nothing wrong with keeping the version of code that is stable for you. It isn't stupid, its a good rule of thumb. If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

I do, however, have to disagree with *never* disabling microcode updates. If I recall properly, the AMD Phenom II 720 was able to be unlocked to 4 cores via a misconfiguration that enabled it with ACC. AMD later corrected this issue with a microcode update. True, some motherboards worked around that fix a different way, but if you had a first gen board with ACC support you *had* to have the old microcode for it to work. The update killed your free core :) a 'free core' that is probably broken in mysterious and hard to find but nonetheless very dangerous ways. Thanks.
Re: [gentoo-user] modem problem : Speedstream vs Zoom
I second that. Gentoo probably isn't working because you have a custom pppoe networking configuration. The others are built with a standard dhcp configuration. Wipe your custom stuff and all will be well.

If it's a modem+router combo, do you need to worry about PPPoE at all on your computer anymore? I think typically the router would take care of that for you, and all your PC does is get a DHCP address (NAT) from the router and is done with it, at least that's how all the ones I've seen behave (unless you've intentially disabled the router part and are using your PC as the router or are going routerless). Just throwing it out there. :)
Re: [gentoo-user] Somewhat OT. Building a rig. Want to get opinions before spending $$$
Couple of things to note: The geforce 210 is not even powerful enough to do 1080p blueray playback. Might want to consider a minor upgrade if you are going to do anything entertainment-wise on this system. Consider doing the ddr 3 system for longevity. If you do end up getting the ddr 2 motherboard and ram, the AM3 socket 945 x4 will fit in and run with the AM2+ board, however AM3 and ddr3 are the current standards and at least the next generation of amd processors should be backwards compatible with that socket. Also, I do slightly disagree with the previous author recommending an 800 watt psu with the configurations you posted. That wattage should be recommended for a bleeding edge single gpu system and a bleeding edge processor. 500-600 should be enough for your needs as long as it's a quality part.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo 32bit-64bit: How?
Check out this, it should answer most of your questions...
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-amd64-faq.xml#perfup
Hi,
My box is a working and fully configured Gentoo system, which is
uptodate.
For the sake of being able to address more RAM and for more
calculation power (mainly for rendering purposes) I want to
migrate to 64bit.
I googled for some tutorial but found nothing appropiate (one post
asked for the downtime to be expected while migrating a server --
something which not applies to me...).
My questions are:
1) Is there a performance gain, when migrating to 64bit if the
target applications supports 64bit?
2) Is it possible - if( true ){ how(); } - to simply
convert a 32bit system to 64 bit.
Simply in my case means: Simpler ways than starting right
from the bare metal of a virgin harddisk and doing the same
stuff I did for the current system again... ;)
3) Is there some tutorial, which show me the path to go?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,

Re: [gentoo-user] SPF sendmail: howto?
To enable SPF on outgoing mail all you have to do is create a SPF record and put it in your /var/bind/domain.tld.hosts file, assuming your using Bind. That's all I did and when I send email to Google its says... Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of ja...@jasoncarson.ca designates 69.196.152.151 as permitted sender) client-ip=69.196.152.151; I use Postfix and recommend you switch. If you want to filter incoming mail with SPF then you have to configure some stuff in the /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/master.cf files. Google it for the way to do it. Hi, I would like to integrate Sender Policy Framework (SPF) with my MTA (sendmail), but can not find any documentation for dealing with SPF, Sendmail Gentoo. I could install mail-filter/libspf2, but how can I make sendmail use it? There are milters for SenderID, DKIM, or DK in portage tree, but nothing for SPF...

[gentoo-user] Kernel upgrade and now LUKS failure.
I have an encrypted block device, `/dev/sda2', which is mounted as my root filesystem. I recently installed this system -- I've been away from Gentoo for awhile -- and used gentoo sources 2.6.31-r6. When the kernel upgrade rolled around, to 2.6.32-r7, I installed and rebooted and then my passphrase didn't work anymore. The error message: Command failed: No key available with this passphrase. However, rebooting with my old kernel works fine so I'm not sure what the problem is. Could it be a different version of `cryptsetup'? When the device can't be opened on boot, I have the option to drop to a shell. I try to run `cryptsetup' and I get the same error -- so maybe that's my problem? Would different versions of `cryptsetup' be incompatible with devices encrypted by older versions? That seems brittle and dangerous to me. -- Jason Dusek

On Sat, 13 Jun 2009 23:39:52 +0200, Sascha Hlusiak wrote: How do you know how many processes are running? What does 'top' say about CPU usage and load? Maybe dnetc has two threads, which can each occupy a core, so you have still 4 threads that are running, in 3 processes. You still should get a load of 5 or higher. You don't have a lot of IO load, do you? Technically, in the scenario I described, I only have two processes, as dnetc is running with four threads. To simplify the situation, I created a simple Python script that does nothing other than loop indefinitely. I then start four separate nice 19 copies of it in four separate terminals. At this point, top reports that each CPU is almost entirely executing niced code. Load average is a little bit above 4, as expected. At this point, I leave these four copies running, and execute a fifth copy without nicing it, so it ends up with a nice value of 0. At this point, cpu0 is executing almost 100% user. cpu2 and cpu3 are executing almost 100% nice. Finally, cpu1 is almost 100% idle. (The actual CPU numbering seems to shift around every so often.) Thus, I have five processes, four at nice 19, one at nice 0, a load average of just over 5, but only 3 out of the 4 cores are actually doing anything.
[gentoo-user] Idle Process Scheduling
I'm having a strange problem on my Q6600 that cropped up starting with the 2.6.29 series of the kernel, and is still present in 2.6.30. Essentially, at all times, I have four nice 19 processes running, which for the sake of this post, we'll call dnetc. All four cores are utilized. At this point, if I start another CPU-bound process that isn't niced, it begins to take up an entire core. This is expected. What isn't expected, however, is that another core begins idling inexplicably. As a result, despite 5 processes currently available to run, only 3 are actually running at any given time (the non-niced process, and two instances of dnetc). I have no idea where to begin diagnosing this, so if anyone has any pointers or knows anything, I'd like to hear about it. I've done numerous searches of mailing lists, bug trackers, etc., but haven't found anything. Maybe I just can't find the right keywords.

Thanks P.S. I have everything working with madwifi and an older kernel so worst case scenario I stay with that configuration until I get this problem figured out. Hello, do _NOT_ initialize the master mode of your nic with the rc-script. Let hostapd do that. rc-script will fail!

Re: [gentoo-user] Atheros kernel driver and my wireless access point setup
Hey all, I think I might know the problem. After doing some reading apparently many distrutions, including Gentoo, don't ship hostapd with support for the nl80211 driver. I checked the Gentoo tarball and this is the case. I tried editing the defconfig file in hostapd.tar.gz (enabling CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y)but when I opened the tarball, edited it, and created a new tarball then tried to emerge it it gave me this... penguin distfiles # emerge hostapd Calculating dependencies... done! Verifying ebuild manifests Emerging (1 of 1) net-wireless/hostapd-0.6.9 Refetching... File renamed to '/usr/portage/distfiles/hostapd-0.6.9.tar.gz._checksum_failure_.70f9W1' ...and then wanted to download hostapd again.

I am trying to get Spamassassin working. I am following this guide...

The configuration on that page is very minimalist and that's how I want to
start off. I can get progressively more complex as I learn more but I want
to keep it as simple as possible for now.
According to that guide I only need to add 5 lines to my

okay, I will break it down one line at a time and state the problem with
that line.

On Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 9:24 PM, Sebastian Wiesner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Chris Walters [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Wednesday 25 June 2008, 22:25:18 Are you a cryptology expert? Are you then? I doubt that either of you are cryptology experts. I've known a few, and I am a crypto-expert, who has worked for the government of the US. The only thing that cryptography attempts to do is reduce the **probability** of cracking the key and gaining access to the data as low as possible. No news. That's, why cryptology defines security not as being impossible to crack, but as being sufficiently improbable to crack. The only cipher, that can't be brute-forced, is the OTP, which is considered perfectly secure. There is no such thing as perfectly secure, but a cipher algorithm that would take *all* the computers on Earth a year or more to crack is pretty secure. As for brute forcing a passphrase: Since most implementations of AES (Rijndael) use a hash of the passphrase to form the key, it amounts to the same thing, in practice, as cracking the key. First of all, you can perform hard disk encryption _without_ a passphrase. You can store keyfiles on smart cards, usb sticks, etc. In this case, you can generate a _truely random_ key. Using a passphrase is the most insecure approach, but still, with a sufficiently random passphrase, you can gain a level of security, that even the NSA will find difficult to come around. The randomness of a 30-char passphrase does of course by far not match the randomness of a 256-bit key, so there is a real chance, that it can be guessed by brute force. Still it will take much cpu time, which is not endless, even to the NSA. I don't think I can really comment on this, except to say that smart cards and usb thumb drives are the way to go for security. As long as you can keep control of the device. In such a case, the question is, if the data, you ciphered, is really worth the effort of putting a super computer into work for a long time to try any possible passphrase. Mr. Walters' claim is not that they would put a single super-computer to decrypting it, but a network of supercomputers. I truly don't think you have to worry about that occurring, unless you are deemed a danger to US National Security. Even then, AES is very hard to crack. The major weakness is the person who encrypts the data. Under questioning, most will give up their keys. Cryptology is, at least partly about finding the weakest link, because that is what is likely to be attacked in any cryptosystem. Of course, absolutely true. Hard disk encryption is by far not perfect, just look at the cold boot attacks that gained public interest in the last time. But you didn't talk of _cryptosystems_ in your previous posts, you did talk about _algorithms_. By themselves algorithms are relatively useless. It is only the application of those algorithms that make them useful. In this case, Mr. Walters pointed out how *NOT* to apply cipher algorithms. Some of the ways, anyway. Summarizing, the modern ciphers themselves are secure, as there is mostly no way to crack them save a brute-force attack on the key. On the other hand, cryptosystems built around these algorithms can of course contain weaknesses and holes, like weak passphrases, unsecure key storage, etc. The US Government only keeps classified information on non-networked computers in secure environments, so the cipher used does not matter as much as the other security measures taken to ensure that the data does not fall into the wrong hands. May be. I do not know, which restrictions apply to US classified data, I only know about official statements, the US government made towards the security of AES. I can neither confirm nor deny Mr. Walters' statement. I will state that the United States Government does, in fact, use ciphers to communicate with Embassies, Military Camps and Bases abroad, and Naval vessels. That hardly fits Mr. Walters' statement. A final thought: It is a fact that both the US Navy and the NSA are *very* interested in cryptology and data security. The NSA also does have large networks of supercomputers that, using parallel, distributed or concurrent computing principles can crack keys more quickly than you may think. You can use simple mathematics to find out, that even the largest super computers, having one peta flop, needs millions of years to perform an exhaustive search through AES key space. Anyway, you may believe, what you want to believe, I'm just reflecting, what real experts like Bruce Schneier have been telling for years: It's wrong to trust into simple ciphers, but it's equally wrong, to believe, that anything can be broken. It is equally wrong to believe that any cipher is immune to attack, but it is not nearly as easy as Mr. Walters would have you believe. my 2 cents My nickel... Jase
[gentoo-user] Security of ciphers.
I've been reading this thread in the archives, on loop-aes and then the security of AES. I hate to jump on the bandwagon, so before I do, I will state that I *am* a crypto-expert, and have worked for the several government entities in the US. I am not at liberty to tell you which ones. Mr. Walters: It is not all that easy to crack a *secure* key with the AES-256 cipher. This holds true, even with networks of super-computers. Just how many of them do you think the NSA (you named it), has to spare for things like that? Parallel and distributed computing does not help much with AES, since it is a CBC cipher algorithm (look it up). I think you need to do some research on the subject you say you're majoring in, before you post on the topic, Mr. Walters. Jase

The main advantage of xulrunner for source based distributions like gentoo is that building firefox (and other apps which are ported to xulrunner) is way faster than before, because they can use xulrunner as a shared runtime environment. This is more beneficial if you use many apps based on xulrunner. Before you needed the runtime environment for every single app. Now the source of firefox, thunderbird and sunbird is about three times the size of seamonkey which contains the same functionalities of the three apps. With the new xulrunner this will change and you save a lot of bandwith too. As for myself I have replaced the firefox use-flags with xulrunner, although it will take some time to gain benefit from this. http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULRunner http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/GRE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XULRunner -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Static mod_perl with apache2
I'm not totally sure what you are talking about but to get perl to work with apache2 you need to add -D PERL to /etc/conf.d/apache2 APACHE2_OPTS=-D PERL Hi list: The situation is the next, i'm trying to install mod_perl as a static module with apache2, but apparently this isn't possible directly with emerge or i haven't found the correct flag, can someone tell me if this is possible? or does it have manually?. I'm using apache2 with mpm_worker, if someone ask me the reason for use mod_perl as static module is because at the moment of init the service i have problems of segmentation fault, and reading in different posts this could be a solution.

Re: [gentoo-user] Weirdness Here
Did you create a separate /boot partition when installing Gentoo. If so you need to mount it mount /dev/sda1 /boot or whatever is your boot partition Hi Guys, Something weird is going on with my system. I have been trying to upgrade the kernel, but no matter what I select, I can't seem to get the sata drive on my laptop recognized. So, I've been sticking to a kernel that works. That is just a lead-in to the situation. Today, I wanted to check /boot to make sure that I had removed residual files from my last failed kernel upgrade. First, let me say that my system boots fine into the kernel that I have been using successfully - i.e. everything happens as expected when I boot. However, in /boot, all I have is a symlink that says that boot is a link to . (dot). I don't see any grub directory or any of the files that should be there. What gives? This is making me a little antsy! Any suggestions as to what is going on? Any ideas how to solve the situation?
