Re: [gentoo-user] portage problems

Re: [gentoo-user] split a fat32 partition on my laptop.
I would suggest QtParted (a gui for parted, http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/). I've never used it, but it looks like it should work with FAT32. As already mentioned, KNOPPIX would be helpful to get started since you can boot from it and will have a full set of gnu/linux tools available. QtParted (and hence parted) are included with the latest KNOPPIX. I used QtParted from Knoppix to resize my 40Gb NTFS partition to something more sensible. Didn't try fat32, though. The only problem was that XP put some stuff (journaling files?) in the middle of the partition and I did not manage to move it, so I wasn't able to resize to something smaller than 18Gb. Apart from that, I had no problem with this method. Matthieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] about spam
Perhaps Oliver should have a look at poppy (http://www.cnpbagwell.com/projects.html) From the website: This simple Perl script will individually read the headers of messages on a POP3 or IMAP account and then prompt you to read, save, delete or reply to the message. This works great for systems with limited resources, whether that's low disk space, slow mail connections, or no GUI's. You can selectively read your email directly from the mail server without having to download all the huge files waiting for you. Also allows you to selectively delete message from the server while saving others so that they can later be downloaded from another program and/or place (read and delete from work then download the important ones later from home). [...] Sample spamkill application included. This small script will scan the headers of all your email and delete those that match certain tests. I did not try spamkill, but the poppy application works well for me. Matthieu you have the IMAP choice for the see before you download thing.. POP3 also supports it if the server and the client support this feature..

[gentoo-user] terragen on linux?
Hi all, there are still some moments when I miss my old dual-boot setup (win2k kicked after a virus). This time, I restarted my attempt to bring terragen to life under Linux, unfortunately with no luck so far. I tried with wine, but it seems this is an unlucky plan. I don't want to use VMWare because of performance issues. Does anybody has an idea what I could do to run terragen natively under Linux? I can't imagine that there is no alternative to it for the Linux world. I only know of terraform+povray, but this combinations is - sorry - a joke if you compare the results (you can create pics with terragen, which indeed look like real photographs, terraform has no chance to beat that).

The masking notes say the ~ should be there. Is that not correct? It's late for me here so it's probably a goof on my part. :) You should only do this if you want the bleeding edge variant of packages. One cure for this would be to remove the ~x86 option, then 'emerge -p world.' You should get '-D' (downgrade) indications for any package where a higher version non-stable package has been emerged. You can then evaluate whether to let the downgrade take place. I would not suggest downgrading any system packages. To be sure you should probably not downgrade any packages unless they are causing you trouble. I once tried going from ~x86 to x86 and it was harder than finding bugs in somebody else's undocumented source code written in a language that I don't know. If you choose to go back to ~x86, I would suggest migrating slowly by using the -D option to emerge whenever you do an actual upgrade. Doing it that way, most packages will be back to x86 after about a month and you wont get any (or very little) breakage. Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

From 'man fstab': The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked. -- mathieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] System hangs on shutdown

[gentoo-user] per-user package administration
While daydreaming during a boring meeting, I was thinking how nice it would be to have a Linux box at work (currently I have only a Win2k machine). However, I'm so used to having root that if I got a Linux machine at work, I'd probably only have normal user access. In the past, on the various Unix systems I've used where I don't have root, but want a package installed, I usually just get the source, compile and install in my home directory. That's fine for small packages, but it's just too much work if the package has a lot of dependancies or needs a makefile tweaked, etc. Then I thought it wouldn't be too hard (in theory grin) to have per-user access to the package tool (portage in gentoo's case). The user would have his own set of package accounting data; it wouldn't affect the system-wide database. For example, say I want to install package slrn, which has a dependancy on the slang package. I don't have admin access, and my sysadmin doesn't want it installed. It would be nice if I could, however, do an emerge slrn and have portage download, build and install slrn and slang all in my home directory. Assuming I have the disk space, I could do this manually anyway. But, obviously, portage makes it easier. Plus, say slang was already installed at the system level, it would be cool if the per-user version of the package tool recognized that. This would also be nice for testing new or development versions of packages. You could do a local install (to a test account, for example) and play with the software without affecting the integrity of the rest of the system. I really have a need for such a feature, but someone else might. I just thought I'd throw the idea out there... maybe someone will be inspired :) Matt -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] split a fat32 partition on my laptop.
just to warn you, i just emerged qt parted and made a test with resize of fat32, and it failed, but recover tools could fix it though, (i didnt loose my own data, i had test partitions) On Tue, 2003-12-02 at 21:28, Jonas Widarsson wrote: daniel wrote: i think what you're looking for is gnu parted # emerge --search parted should get you what you need Hmm.
