So the answer for me is not at all, as long as the processor isn't busy doing something else. Assuming that your loop file is bigger than the amount of memory you have installed, You can test it with something like: # time dd if=mystuff.aes of=/dev/null bs=64k # time dd if=/dev/loop0 of=/dev/null bs=64k Take an average of 3-4 runs each, ignoring the first result. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] freetype2 blocking mozilla - any news?
Hi, I know there is a known issue about freetype-2.1.9 blocking mozilla-1.7.3 in the current portage tree due to some compilation problems (and xorg depends on freetype 2.1.9, so it's like xorg is blocking mozilla).

[gentoo-user] What's wrong with my locales?
I've been trying to get my locales straightened out. I want to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ISO8859-15) as my default encoding. I originally followed the Gentoo Localization Guide and defined the following locales in /etc/locales/build: en_us/ISO-8859-1 en_US.ISO-8859-15/ISO-8859-15 en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8 nl_NL/ISO-8859-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ISO-8859-15 nl_NL.UTF-8/UTF-8 rebuilt glibc (again) and everything was kinda OK, except that 1) GDM was displaying in English, so clearly some global setting prior to loading the user desktop was set to English; 2) random programs, usually when run from a su - terminal, reported that the locale was not recognized, and were defaulting to C. This continued to occur even after I put export LANG=[EMAIL PROTECTED] in root's .bashrc (it had originally been set to en_US something, as an additional check against remembering that any given program was being run as root and to be careful). Then I found a how-to on the Wiki: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_an_UTF-8_enabled_system . Of course, I didn't so much want UTF8 as I did ISO8859-15 (I've not found UTF, which I used previously, all it's cracked up to be, frankly, as the relative lack of applications that support it as opposed to the ISO8859 encodings seemed to cause the stated benefits to evaporate). But what I did find in the wiki article was this new (to me) information: Now you should create /etc/env.d/02locale file, specifying the locales to use. You can add one or two different values usually, but for european countries with euro currency you need to add a third. LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF-8 I didn't have an /etc/env.d/02locale file, so I created one: LANG=nl_NL.ISO-8859-15 LC_ALL=nl_NL.ISO-8859-15 So now, GDM says Welkom bij (hostname) instead of Welcome to $(hostname), and the buttons on the side say things like Taal instead of Language.

But of course, now I still don't know if I actually need it or it's just causing me grief. Was it a bad call? First, let me say that I couldn't find any documentation via google (site:gentoo.org multislot) or in use.desc for multislot. So if I contradict anything that the documentation says, I am probably wrong. ;- $ useflag multislot /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:sys-devel/binutils:multislot - Allow for multiple versions of binutils to be emerged at once for same CTARGET /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:sys-devel/gcc:multislot - Allow for SLOTs to include minor version (3.3.4 instead of just 3.3) useflag is an alias that searches the system useflag docs for the description of the requested useflag. I got it from a posting on this ML, and saved it, it's so useful-- which is why I'll post it again. Put this in your .bashrc: alias useflag='grep /usr/portage/profiles/use.*desc -e' and . ~/.bashrc, and you can just type useflag flag_you_don't_know to get the descriptions. The only reason I can think of for having multiple versions of binutils around is for cross-compiling or distcc use. For both cases, I think you would want the same compiler version and platform target available on all systems. There also might be a dependancy between binutils and gcc versions, (version x of gcc requires version y of binutils). But the current version of gcc should always work with the current version of binutils, so unless you are doing cross-compiling or distcc, I don't really see the point in keeping multiple versions of binutils around. OK, thank you. I am doing neither. Guess that explains why it's an optional dependency. I should have learned by now that adding features that you *might possibly* need (but you don't really know if you need), as opposed to features that you can clearly see that you need (based on your specific system), is just a losing proposition. Every time I try compiling for the future, it just doesn't work out. I've gotta give it up. Now gcc is a different matter, because there are some libraries (libstdc++, libgcj, ...) that are built and installed with gcc, so you could argue that you want to keep multiple versions of that around to avoid breaking dependancies. Since libstdc++ is used by a great many programs, removing it before rebuilding all dependancies with revdep-rebuild could be dangerous. So my advice is, to be safe, update make.conf and/or package.use to remove the multislot flag from binutils but keep it for gcc. That sounds fair. Now, with that said, I don't even think removing multislot from gcc would be dangerous, because every program that links against libstdc++ should be linked against either libstdc++.so or possiblity libstdc++.so.6, not a minor version. So as long as /etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/ld.cache are kept up-to-date (as portage does), and gcc doesn't move to libstdc++.so.7, there is no reason that a gcc update should break anything. Well, since I'm in the process of updating my toolchain and world to make sure that everything is compiled against the same version of GCC (3.4.4), I suppose I don't really need to have multislot for that either. Sigh. I feel like such a yutz... For the record, I don't have either multislot or multitarget, but then again, I also run ~x86, Well, I don't (yet)... this install is new enough that I really want to keep track of what's stable and what's testing (which having to use /etc/portage/package.* enables me to do). But the system is starting to get a bit *too* mixed, and it's about reached the point where it's a diminishing return not to just set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~86 in /etc/make.conf which I will probably do after I've finished making sure that the system is all on the same page, as it were. 1) trim out a bunch of binutils slots that I may or may not need (and therefore whose loss may break unknown applications), so that glsa-check The only shared libraries that binutils includes are libbfd and libopcodes, and the only thing I could find on my system that linked against them outside of binutils was oprofile. Since oprofile isn't exactly a critical program, revdep-rebuild would easily fix this. I think the worst case is that you would not be able to compile anything, and would need to run binutils-config to select the correct version. Well, I don't even have oprofile installed, nor do I have most of the other programs: Programs That Depend On binutils app-crypt/johntheripper app-misc/git dev-embedded/tigcc

No problem.
Anyway, back to grub. 2 things.

machine. Then I used it to wget the tarball that
emerge -av, on the sempron box, says it needs,
pppconfig-2.3.9, and copied it to a floppy. I put that
in /usr/portage/distfiles on the sempron box but
emerge continues to ask for it.
Here is a function to help with this. It will only show you the things
that you don't already have in distfiles, so it will be best to run on
the sempron.
mw_what_dist() {
emerge -Dvp --fetchonly $@ 21 \
| grep / \
| awk '{ print $1 }' \
| while read line; do
bn=`basename $line`
test -f /usr/portage/distfiles/$bn || echo $line
done
}
You can copy-n-paste that to your .bashrc then . ~/.bashrc and you
will have the mw_what_dist function. When I run it on pppconfig, I get:
carcharias ~ # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=-~x86 mw_what_dist pppconfig

http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo/distfiles/pppconfig_2.3.11.tar.gz
Unfortunately, 2.3.9 doesn't show up in portage anymore, so I can't show
you that directly!
More to the point of getting grub, you could also build a binary package
of grub on the other system, and transfer that over via floppy. The
binary package for grub looks like it would be about ~440k. Don't worry
about CFLAGS not matching, they get removed by the grub ebuild in any case.
emerge --buildpkgonly --oneshot grub should do for the build, which
will end up creating a archive in /usr/portage/packages. Move it to the
same location on the sempron, and use emerge --usepkgonly to install it.
Although, you may be in desperate need of an emerge --sync, so you may
have to fight with pppconfig for a little while.

I didn't know about use.local.desc. Cool alias. All I've got is gcc, I haven't even gotten around to installing prelink yet. And I can't imagine that any of these programs (gcc, prelink, and elfutils, which prelink requires), would need some old version of binutils hanging around, especially since I would be keeping these reverse dependencies up-to-date. Right. These other dependancies just need to be able to run a program from binutils (ld, ar, etc). That kind if dependancy is much more stable than actually linking to libraries provided by a package. BTW, one of the advantages of prelink is that it will fairly quickly identify every program on the system with a broken library dependancy. I know revdep-rebuild does this too, but prelink is faster. So you're probably right; I can most likely remove multislot from both binutils and gcc (since I only mean to have one version of GCC anyway), recompile everything *yet again* (just to be safe; this system is I know the feeling...can't wait until I can buy a dual-core laptop. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If so, then changing boot loaders will almost certainly not help, because by this point the entire compressed kernel image has already been loaded into memory by grub and grub has jumped to the kernel. The kernel is decompressing itself and outputing the dots... If it is taking 45 seconds to get to that message though, then switching to lilo (or the most recent version of grub) could help. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Installing KDE 3.4.1
Is there any easier way to make Portage to install KDE 3.4.1 to a stable system than to add every single installed package to /etc/portage/package.keywords? I wouldn't mind to have the entire kde-base -category use test packages but I would like to keep the rest of the system on stable ground. So PACKAGE_KEYWORDS is not a good solution. I tried to define packages with wildcards (like kde-base/* ~x86), with no luck. Is this possible? Thanks beforehand, -- - Janne Vänttinen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] cloning drivers that are not the same size
Hi, I'm not at all clear from reading man dd whether it will work for drives that are not the same size? For instance my current working drive in onePundit-R is 8GB and has 3 partitions - boot, root and swap. I'd like to copy these partitions to a new 80GB drive for use in another Pundit-R. 1) Can dd be used to copy partitions? (It seems so - just checking) 2) If yes above, then do I need to make identical sized partitions on the target drive before copying, or does dd create the partition? (I hope it doesn't actually) After the clone I'll rename the machine and give it a different IP address but I assume that everything else is 100% identical. The extra drive space will be used for some other purpose and does not have to be part of root. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Disk usage?
Gentoo is not designed to save space, or rather isnt worried about space is a better way to describe it. Some things you can do : delete /usr/portage/distfiles/* - can save lots, but often the same distfile is used for updates/rebuilds, so I would copy them to another system running rsync (point make.conf to it) if possible and clean this directory on a regular basis. portage can be put on a compressed loopback which is supposed to give good gains, both in space and speed. Use flags: some ebuilds like xorg have a minimal use flag. -docs which removes extra documentation is also a good one. Look into building only one or two locales which saved a huge amount of space, but I did run into some errors because of things some apps were expecting were reomoved - a full emerge -ep may have fixed this tho. Keep only the current kernel installed (or delete all of them! - /usr/src/linux*) If you want to keep the kernel source, do a make clean after install to save a few hundred M. Use one partition for the bulk of the system to avoid wasting space. A problem with the above is that its hard to remove all the fluff on built system, so the best effect is on a new install. Believe it or not, it is possible to put a fully usable desktop with office apps on a bootable 256M USB key with room to spare! Very tricky methods used, but thats the fun of it.

I am surprised that it would use that much space, but perhaps that is why I am seeing such a difference in space usage between this Gentoo installation and previous distros. I think there is no difference in size between any of these distros really. KDE is the size of KDE. Gnome is the size of Gnome. Differences are pretty small compared to the overall size of things. The first step would be to mount /usr/portage on a separate machine using NFS. Setup an NFS server on that remote box, export the directory as rw, and then mount it as rw on your machine in fstab. At this point all the code that's downloaded by your box is actually placed on another machine where you have space. Keep i mind that this is 2-3 times the network traffic when you are building code - Internet-small machine-NFS drive for storage- small machine to be built. None the less it works. More practical is to just do things normall and watch after the /usr/portage/distfiles. I currently have 600MB in mine on this laptop. On the small MythTV frontend machine I have 425MB right now but on machines I haven't cleaned up I have 1.5GB. It gets big over time. You can erase anything in this directory at the risk of needing to download it again if you decide to rebuild it. None the less it's easy to clean up to give oyu more space quickly.

I don't actually use Gnome, but it is important to other things and so causes me difficulties. I am a ratpoison guy myself. Sure - OK to test it out. Hard to live on it forever. But build fluxbox for test and learn, not Gnome. ;-) If I really like this I may move my main machine to it. That one is a more reasonable, though still not fast, Athlon XP 2000+ setup. The hard drive is bigger too, but I wanted to sort out where the space was going so that I would have a better understanding of what is going on. I am just not much for waste I suppose. That's fast enough. I used to use Gentoo on a 750 Athlon at my old job. It was fast enough. Not great but it got done. More memory helps, etc. You'll probably like Gentoo once you get past the shock of building it the first time. I built a new machine with fluxbox and MythTV and had it booting and starting to work in about 3-4 hours 2 weekends ago. Like I said, the first time it took me days to build and longer to learn about the commands necessary to administer it. (I'm neither a programmer or IT person. I'm a guitar player using Linux for music, email, web browsing and TV watching.) For someone like me it was a bit trying for all the nice people here to teach me but the folks here are like no others I've met on any list. Very, very, very helpful folks who share a huge amount of knowledge in a completely open way. I've learned a lot. I only screw up once a day now. ;-) - Mark Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Disk usage?
* Mark Knecht ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: I think there is no difference in size between any of these distros really. KDE is the size of KDE. Gnome is the size of Gnome. Differences are pretty small compared to the overall size of things. The first step would be to mount /usr/portage on a separate machine using NFS. Setup an NFS server on that remote box, export the directory as rw, and then mount it as rw on your machine in fstab. At this point all the code that's downloaded by your box is actually placed on another machine where you have space. Keep i mind that this is 2-3 times the network traffic when you are building code - Internet-small machine-NFS drive for storage- small machine to be built. None the less it works. More practical is to just do things normall and watch after the /usr/portage/distfiles. I currently have 600MB in mine on this laptop. On the small MythTV frontend machine I have 425MB right now but on machines I haven't cleaned up I have 1.5GB. It gets big over time. You can erase anything in this directory at the risk of needing to download it again if you decide to rebuild it. None the less it's easy to clean up to give oyu more space quickly. Very cool. I will start there and see if I get benefits which are workable. Sure - OK to test it out. Hard to live on it forever. But build fluxbox for test and learn, not Gnome. ;-) Exactly what I did actually. Generally Fluxbox and ratpoison are the only two desktops I use. I only use fluxbox to tempwm into when I use the gimp or some such multi-windowed app. Ratpoison is rough on those. I really only keep Gnome around as things like Gramps needs it. In this case I intended to install it only to see how I felt about the final product in my test. That I can't is not really a big deal in itself, but it caused me to wonder about the space usage in general. That's fast enough. I used to use Gentoo on a 750 Athlon at my old job. It was fast enough. Not great but it got done. More memory helps, etc. You'll probably like Gentoo once you get past the shock of building it the first time.

I only screw up once a day now. ;-) - Mark Well, I have to say that just for one day on this old Pentium3 I am very impressed. I was a bit intimidated but I do like the final product. I had wanted to install from sources rather than binary packages as I had to but without a high speed internet connection I could not consider it. But as a compromise I like this a lot, and Debian, Slack and all the others are from binaries as well. So in that sense it is no different, but I like the philosophy behind it so much more than the others. That is why I have wanted to try it out for so long. I just don't understand why they don't make iso images of the source packages available as well as the binary stuff. It would make a more traditional install available for folks like me. But, that is a small complaint I suppose. many thanks, patrick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
