You might have to download a kernel patch directly from
www.namesys.com.  If you do decide to try out reiser4, be sure to
subscribe to the mail list, and you might want to browse the archives of
that list before jumping in.  It is, after all, a _beta_ filesystem!

2.)  This will be an embedded system, so how can I speed up the boot
process (after the BIOS hands control to GRUB)?
  


Software Suspend v2.  There was a link to a nice article about it here
not too long ago.

3.)  What's the Linux equivalent of DOS/Windows' autoexec.bat
(something to run commands on startup, namely setterm -blank 0)?
  


~/.bashrc will be executed by every (bash) shell that is started. 

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
  


Try something like this:

LABEL=USBKEY /mnt/usbkey auto noauto,user  0 0

(Use whatever LABEL your USB key has above).  You will really need the
noauto option, and probably want user if you don't want to have to
be root to mount it.

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.
  

Not AFAIK.  There are some userspace read-only utilities for ext2 (and
ext3), but nothing for reiserfs.  Your best bet is probably fat32 (or my
preference, vfat).  BTW, even 'high-speed' USB disk keys can only
transfer at ~9MB/sec, and seek time is nil for flash, so it doesn't
really make sense to talk about a 'high performance' filesystem for a
USB disk key, IMO.

Hi,

 Take a look at the catalyst project which is used for building the
 releases.
 
 The cd's are built from a gentoo system stripped of the compiler etc.
 
 For example you will see from this file
 http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/docs/livecd-stage2_template.spec.txt 
 that they unmerge a whole lot of packages, and delete a whole swag of 
 directories.
 
 see the sections livecd/unmerge and livecd/empty and livecd/rm
Thank you, this was exactly what I was looking for.
Does someone has a more aggressive template (minimal system)?

[gentoo-user] Swappiness and Virtual Memory Management

2005-04-27 Thread Ow Mun Heng
I've got a question regarding VM management in Linux.

I've got 512MB of RAM on my laptop and at times it can still be slow esp
when the RAM is used up and starts accessing the swap.

Setting swappiness to 10 doesn't really make a difference at all.

However, (what I've heard) users of FreeBSD has attested that hitting
swap on those BSD system does not make any noticeable effect on their
system. Even when there's up to like 700MB of swap in use. 

On Linux, it seems that the opposite is true, when we hit swap, and then
the disk starts to thrash violently and I get slow load-up of programs
and even switching between virtual Desktops can be a real pain.

Does anyone has more insight to this? I know the solution is to add more
RAM but is that really a solution? I mean, it's like storage, is there
really such a thing as I've got enough storage?

it is some time ago, that I read it, so I might (very probable) very wrong:
while smart OSes shove the data in big chunks into swap and out of it, Linux 
fetches every single 4k page in its own transfer. Yes, linux swap is totally, 
madly slow.

When someone says 'swap is good, because I can have more things in memory, 
thus the box is slower' I laugh in  his face - because it is simple not true.
I have 512 mb too, and most of the time it is well enough, but sometimes 
(exspecially after BIGDOWNLOAD) swap starts to kick in - and from the first 
few kb on swap I always have the feeling, that always the WRONG stuff is 
swapped out.

There is one workaround: swapoff -a  swapon -a and everything is fine for 
some hours more ... or more RAM, but I would like to see swap fixed - and the 
stupid behaviour that user data (like running KDE) is swapped, to make space 
for some totally unneeded buffering/caching, that does not go back to its

Using buildpkg in FEATURES means you always have the older version of a
package to roll back to. This was covered is some detail in here in the
last week or so. One something as time-critical as a central server for
thin clients, you certainly shouldn't ever need to rely on compiling from
source to roll back when something goes wrong.

 Anyway, you did not answer my question: Why not make font-server the

Portage highlights any changing in USE flags, in colour and with an
asterisk. You really should check for these things. I would also suggest
that upgrading lots of packages at once on a production server,
especially without thorough checking and a backup plan, is something that
is likely to bite you at some time.

[gentoo-user] WOT: Constricing Video Bandwith

2005-04-27 Thread James
Hello,

WOT (Way Off Topic)
I decided to post here (risking flames) because many of the
participants here are working on video implementations. I'm focused
on Bandwith Minimization for video transmission over wide area networks.
Futhermore, although I still have Debian and OpenBSD systems
around me, I'm doing all of my newest work
on Gentoo (yes I'm uncurable infected)

Finding and testing cameras which acutally use very little bandwith,
is a challenge. Furthermore, making adjustments to the equipment
(cameras, encoders, software) is also  obscure.

What I'm specifically looking for is ways to test and verify
that a given camera actually needs less than 30 kbps or 20kbps,
for a given video stream.

Working with Ethernet (either accurately measuring or constricting)
has been problematic. Discussions with others seem to confirm this.
I know there are new mechanisms in the 2.6 kernel series for such
hacking, but, I'm looking for something I can use quickly.

So I'm now going to sink some time into setting up ppp over a serial
connection (ether synchronous or asynchronous). Asyncronous, like
RS232 uses start and stop bits, so for every 7/8 bits of data you 
transmit, you have the overhead of 1/2 stop bits. Synchronous uses 
external clocking, so the overhead of start and stop bits is
eliminated. Duplex issues are really minimal, since the cameras'
and encoders' data output is one way, so half duplex is just fine.
If I set an async serial port to 38.4 it's roughly equivalent
to a 30kbps synchronous half duplex circuit(???). Later I can set
the serial ports to 28.8 and then 19.2 kbps for refinement of 
test vectors.

What I'm trying to do is set up ppp between two gentoo systems running
ppp over a RS232 serial ports, set at 38.4, 8N1, so that a vendor 
can bring in their equipment and show it running H.264 video across
the link. There will be 2 Ethernet switches connected to each dual
Ethernet gentoo system (and NAT) and nothing else running on these sytems.
The thinking is if their equipment works across this test link, then
it's worth testing over 56kbps frame relay links that have 
32k CIR (that is a synchronous port speed of 32 kbps).

Has anyone tried anything like this? Any suggestions as to tweaking
the ppp configuration/stack to to minimize overhead and latency?
Any discussion or suggestion is most welcome. Is there an easier
test methodology?

confused and alone,

James

Yes, there is no risk, but there are a much better solution, it's called
distclean. You can search for it on forum. It is a script, which will
remove the sources of packages what are NOT in portage already. Old
Openoffice, America's Army, and so on.

In addition you can search for doubles with etcat. For example KDE 3.2

anymore.

The mentioned applications are just for example of course.

There were a quite deep thread in the past around saving (conquer back)

Re: [gentoo-user] alsaconf doesn't recognize sound card, but kernel does

2005-04-27 Thread Christoph Eckert
Hi,


 I supose I have to emerge it using some debug flag. Then I
 want to hack the code an recompile again.

it's a shell script :) .

 How can I do that? Is this the correct approach? Any
 documentation?

To be honest, alsaconf needs not to be fixed but rewritten.

Why?

* It still can handle ISA cards
* It growed over the time, and the code is now a bit 
unreadable and unflexible
* it can only create a new configuration, but it cannot read 
and edit an existing one
* it cannot handle USB cards
* it cannot deal with asoundrc which is needed to set a 
default soundcard and doing card ordering
* ...


Unfortunately I'm not enough a programmer, but if I was I'd do 
it.

Please note that this is no alsaconf bashing. It has done a 
great job over the years, but meanwhile it needs a 
replacement.

[gentoo-user] Freevo + FrameBuffer + Splash

2005-04-27 Thread Ow Mun Heng
It seems that on 2005.0 install, I can't have the 3 of these together
like I did when I was running on 2004.3. 

The difference is the usage of devpts vs udev.

Since 2005.0 is udev, to get gen/fbsplash to work, I need to pass
vga=7xx to the kernel command line.

passing 
video=vesafb:ywrap,[EMAIL PROTECTED] splash=silent,theme:livecd-2005.0

doesn't seem to have any effect at all. I've tried both vesafb as well
as using vesafb-tng and both fails.

With VGA=7xx passed, I get splash but Freevo won't come up. (and neither
will startx work) as it complains about not being able to find DISPLAY
and default to using fbdev. (On occations in which it does comes up it
doesn't stretch the display to fullscreen!)

Without the VGA=7xx line, then I don't get the splash screen at all but
freevo will start with no issues.

So.. what is the middle ground and how can I solve this? does anyone
know???

Appreciate a reply. Thanks

 Check your ACPI and/or APM configuration.  The thing that is bugging me here
 is that you can get out of it, which makes me think that ACPI is signaling
 the power supply to switch off, but it doesn't.  Try reboot to see if that
 works.  I had a problem where my machine wouldn't power off, but it would
 reboot, and it was just a kernel configuration problem. 

I doubt that, since when it reboots, there are more steps, ending with
unmounting the filesystems and remounting them read-only.  The power
supply does switch off;  I briefly installed WinXP SP2 to test the
hardware and make sure everything worked, and there were no problems.

 Wouldn't it be wiser to type rm -rf /tmp/* ;-)

I'd go with rm -rf /tmp  mkdir /tmp, since the above commands won't
pick up any dotfiles in the directory.

If I was going to do something like that. Which I'm not.

The relevant line is

GL/gl.h is not in your include search path. You should find it or find out 
why it's missing.

And then don't forget chmod 1777 /tmp. This's caught me out quite a few
times (not because I rm -rf'ed /tmp, something completely else - but it
does catch you out...
