[gentoo-user] Nothing but trouble with Gnome-light
Hi, After i have installed Gnome-light 2.8.1 on a new computer i have only troubles, it started out with than new nenu items are not visible, but now if i rename a existing one it disapears also. On top of that Rhythmbox is as buggy as can be, removing or adding a single item causes a crash and Rhythmbox shuts down. I have Gnome (full) working on a other machines and there with the same software i have no problems, it started from gnome 2.6.x and upgrades during several months. There is no diference between Gnome-light and Gnome exept that there are less packages ? Is the someone on the list who has a explenation for this behaviour.

Traditionally swap was set to twice ram: I think it was because a crash can cause the ram contents to be written to swap for recovery - no longer relevant I believe. If you intend using software suspend you will also need something like twice ram. If you do any graphics work, be prepared to use a LOT of swap.

Try this:

Insert the following in the file

SYMLINK=cdrom cdroms/cdrom%n
You'll need to change the SYSFS{vendor} statement and you'll probably

Yeah, this may be true but we seem to be talking about the 'amount of work' to do things on LVM vs non-LVM. Honestly I really don't see a significant argument for this on one side or the other. I partitioned my disks years ago w/o LVM and, due to pre-planning to accommodate future growth needs, haven't had to touch the partitions since then. I would imagine that the same could be said by folks running LVM. I did partition my system with 10+ separate partitions because I've seen what a pain it can be trying to resolve a full partition on some critical paths (i.e. /, /usr, /var) and have found that isolating them offers some protection for system usability should such partitions fill. We all have our own backgrounds and our own experience and knowledge which push us towards one method or another. My recommendation to the OP is to go with what he feels is right. Sure, consider what folks on the list are suggesting, but in the end you're going to come up with something that will work for you. And since it is relatively easy to handle partition growth using either method (lvm vs. non-lvm), you really can't lose regardless which way you go. Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - Help with partitioning
Hi, the more partitions, the more wasted space. For example /var 2gb /vat is mostly enough, but sometimes, you need 4,6,8 GB, but 6/8GB /var is just overkill. /home should always be on its own partition, this way, you can reinstall everything without risking your user-data, or share /home between installs. Some time back, I used /boot /swap /home /tmp /var /opt, /usr/local, all on different partitions of different disks. But for a single-user system like mine, I ended with a lot of 85% full partitions and a lot of wasted gb. Now I have /root /home /boot /swap and / is big enough, that nothing should fill it up ... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] A binary choice for a DVD burner... URGENT!
Thanks to all the people who replied. I finally bought the LG GSA-4163B. Interestingly, it must be the only component in my system that isn't made in China. This thing's made in Japan. Interesting! Well, I haven't had a chance to use it with Gentoo yet, but its working as expected on Windows (Ok. Don't hate me! I'm right now using the burner to backup the data, so that I can convert the entire disk to Linux, which right now takes up 15GB!)

[gentoo-user] Recommendation for online contact manager?
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a contact information management system for a relatively small group of people (~200)?

It does 54Mbps, and setting it up was hassle-free for me. Wait a min, I thought that Prism-based cards are the only ones which are capable of working as Access points, how did you manage this? I guess luckily no one told me that! As far as I understand it, the only thing you need in order to use a card as an access point is to be able to set it to master mode. The madwifi and Prism drivers both support this. I've no idea how new support for master mode is in the madwifi driver, so maybe what you said was true until recently. But it definitely works now. The only thing I haven't got working with it yet is WPA encryption. Apparently it is possible, just not well documented at the moment. WEP is working fine though. (If anyone has any tips on how to get WPA working, I'd love to hear them!) Sorry cannot help, but am interested in this, because its getting harder for me to find new cards with the older prism chipsets to use as access points. Yup. That's exactly why I ended up buying an Atheros based card.

Very bad, but my command was inaccurate according to this email.

This creates the directory /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r3 for this kernel. I think you did not do this step or the directory would be there. 4) mount boot;cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/XXX; vi grub.conf/etc. There is one other possibilitiy. Please do ls -al /usr/src If you linux link is set incorrectly I don't know what happens in this case. This problem should be very easy to figure out and fix.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - Help with partitioning
On Tue, 2005-04-26 at 18:29 +0200, Volker Armin Hemmann wrote: Hi, the more partitions, the more wasted space. For example /var 2gb /vat is mostly enough, but sometimes, you need 4,6,8 GB, but 6/8GB /var is just overkill. Depends, compiling openoffice will dump 3-4Gbytes on top of whats already there. Then the op wants to use keepalive ... The main reason my gateway goes down is I log to a mysql database, which occaisionally fills up /var (4G, currently 2G available, I add extra when doing OO etc) My desktop has 48G /var for working with dvd's etc - usually adequate! /home should always be on its own partition, this way, you can reinstall everything without risking your user-data, or share /home between installs. Yes, this one of the best ones to give its own partition on multiuser systems. Some time back, I used /boot /swap /home /tmp /var /opt, /usr/local, all on different partitions of different disks. But for a single-user system like mine, I ended with a lot of 85% full partitions and a lot of wasted gb. Now I have /root /home /boot /swap and / is big enough, that nothing should fill it up ... Same here - though generally I dont isolate /home either - just one big partition: its the ones with complicated partition layouts that have the wasted space, and admin workload to manage and the highest failure rate of partitions filling up - but its a case of YMMV as on a gateway or server thats adequately resourced, the extra waste and complexity can be justified. A single partition is easier and simpler to manage on single user/laptop type systems -- William Kenworthy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Richard Watson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) scribbled: I'm starting to get low on disk space and was wondering what I can safely delete from the /tmp directory. How about everything? You should check to see that nothing has a file open first. 'lsof' is good for this, however, if /tmp is a separate partition, you can just try to umount it. If it unmounts, then remount and delete everything. Otherwise, just use 'lsof | grep tmp'. hth, Cooper. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Questions about rebuilding glibc
I'm slowly puttering along re-installing Gentoo on my second machine. Having used Gentoo for a few months, I have some personal preferences about how I want to do it. One of them is as few locales as possible This machine is not going to be kiosk machine in the UN headquarters. This apparently requires re-compiling glibc, which I intend to do right after the install. Since it's such a basic component of everything, are there any boobytraps with rebuilding glibc, or is it simply a matter of... emerge --ask -deep --newuse --update --world -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, and has a lower TCO, than linux. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Finally! But a few issues...
Finally! I have a working install of Linux 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 on a Pentium II machine that I plan to use as a portable media center. (Think of it as an iPod on steroids.) But I've got a few issues, as the subject line says. Linux newbie here, though I have done many unsuccessful Gentoo installations before, so my feet are wet. 1.) I've got Reiser3.6 on my / partition (/dev/hda3, /mnt/gentoo). I've also got Reiser3.6 on my /home partition (/dev/hda4, /mnt/gentoo/home), but I'd like to try Reiser4 out. I hear that in almost all cases, it's an extremely fast and safe file system. True, it's a working beta version, but my /home partition is disposable (any files I put there will be copied over from another computer, anyway, so I've always got a live backup) so I think I'll jump in. I found the Reiser4 emerge guide on the Gentoo forums, but that didn't work for me. Is there any way to emerge Reiser4 support into my kernel? 2.) This will be an embedded system, so how can I speed up the boot process (after the BIOS hands control to GRUB)? I've compiled a lot of stuff as modules so I can load and unload them whenever necessary, so that cuts down on boot time. Things I've noticed that take forever are Calculating module dependencies..., mounting Reiser3.6 partitions and DHCP detection (which I want). 3.) What's the Linux equivalent of DOS/Windows' autoexec.bat (something to run commands on startup, namely setterm -blank 0)? 4.) My USB key and/or a media card reader are sometimes plugged into this computer, but not always. It's a hassle manually mounting them every time I want to use it. Can I mount them in /etc/fstab even though it won't always be present at boot-time? Here's what I've got, commented out for now: /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive vfat noatime 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cards/cf-mdautonoatime 0 0 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/cards/sd-mmcauto noatime 0 0 /dev/sdb3 /mnt/cards/sm-xd auto noatime 0 0 /dev/sdb4 /mnt/cards/ms-mspro auto noatime 0 0 5.) And as far as my USB key is concerned, FAT32 is slow and unjournaled. It sucks. ReiserFS is the greatest thing since NTFS as far as I'm concerned, and I'd like to use that on my USB key, since it's speedy, journaled and space-efficient. Are there Windows/Mac OS 9/Mac OS X plugins for ReiserFS? I'd like to put a small FAT partition on my key with just the plugins and a Reiser partition spanning the rest for my data. -- Colin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I can Ctrl-C my way out of it and continue to work in Gentoo, but a software shutdown isn't possible. I just reboot, enter the BIOS and hold the switch. What can I do about this little bug? And is there even any purpose in loading and saving a random seed when random numbers are (AFAIK) seeded by the timer? man urandom: The random number generator gathers environmental noise from device drivers and other sources into an entropy pool. The generator also keeps an estimate of the number of bits of noise in the entropy pool. From this entropy pool random numbers are created. ... When a Linux system starts up without much operator interaction, the entropy pool may be in a fairly predictable state. This reduces the actual amount of noise in the entropy pool below the estimate. In order to counteract this effect, it helps to carry entropy pool infor- mation across shut-downs and start-ups. I guess you can remove urandom from boot runlevel # rc-update del urandom or, you can try to troubleshoot the problem (= The shutdown section of /etc/init.d/urandom is pretty much one line on my system: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/var/run/random-seed count=1 /dev/null You can try seeing what's wrong with that...
