On Wednesday 03 May 2006 23:02, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote about 'Re: [gentoo-user] why firefox is so slow?': I've asked on multiple occassions for a comparison to a Debian paradigm. My first distro was Debian. So a comparison to Debian would do me a world of good. ARCH ~= STABLE but more volatile -- there's no real release version, packages are maintained separately unless they are packaged together upstream or depend on one another so you'll still get regular updates, but the packages have been though some amount of testing by the devs and those running: ~ARCH ~= TESTING though there's less testing, packages don't have to survive being masked for any period of time so you will occasionally get an package that would only be suited for Sid. It's still exceedingly rare for these packages to screw your system, but it is possible especially if you don't read the e(info|notice|warn)s that are output during the install or become lax in your config file updating. Anything truly experimental will be masked while the devs (and brave users) test internally. If you do run ~arch and can spend some time reporting you successes and failures, consider becoming an arch tester, assuming your arch needs more. package.mask'd, profile masked, or missing keyword ~= SID (or worse) These packages are either experimental with changes that are likely to break the system, or have been known to break someones system, possibly including data loss. Some development teams *cough*KDE*cough* are quite flexible with the experimental label -- I had kde 3.5 installed with few to no problems for (what seemed like) months before they were unmasked. Of course, ebuilds in the forums and bugzilla (and anywhere else other than the standard portage tree) are like foreign repositories. Gentoo devs (and most of the people on the mailing lists) can't and won't provide support for those packages or problems that may/might be caused by them. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgpGaOsoBa4wr.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia-kernel vs. gentoo-sources
Glenn Enright wrote: Nvidia dont release the source for this driver, which makes it difficult for others to patch it, even if they new how the card internals worked ;). As far as I understand, the binary driver itself is not patched. The patching concerns the way it is integrated into your system (e.g. symbols and certain function calls, of course kernel related stuff) -- and there are source files for that. That's what is being compiled by emerge. The problem with the function/symbol pci_find_class has occured before with an older version of nvidia-kernel and was patched successfully. So, I guess it's just a matter of time and patching experience. But because of the reasons Richard wrote/summarized, it's not looking very good :-/ Does the xorg nv driver do what you need? Fortunately yes. I can start X an do all 2D-things. For the time being I'll have to live with that. So, I guess my search for some help has come to a dead end.

USE flags that really are useful not add them just because they might

the slower and more memory hungry they are.. Take a look at my USE

When you start it, you see all useflags listed, if it is active (X before its

Re: [gentoo-user] Best File System For Linux
Hi, there is no 'best' fs. Except for boot. Boot should always be ext2. Everything else is just overkill. ext3 is nice for backward compatibility. reiserfs is nice, if you have lots and lots of small files (like me), because it saves a lot of space. xfs is nice, if you deal with big files regularly, but it does not like sudden poweroffs, and had the habit of overwriting damaged files witzh zeros - a 'security' feature. So /etv/passwd or similar sensitive files do not show up somewhere, where they don't belong. I don't know, if it still does this, but some people lost precious data that way. jfs... well, there is nothing special about jfs.

That's what is being compiled by emerge. The problem with the function/symbol pci_find_class has occured before with an older version of nvidia-kernel and was patched successfully.

Re: [gentoo-user] cpufreq and 2006.0
From what I can see of the livecd kernel, its there (and at least partially modular), but is not recognising the sonys speedstep. I am not having much luck with google. The cpufreq tools dont appear to be present which may be a problem. I am groping a bit in the dark here!

Are your using HP printers, and if so, have you recently switched from using hpoj+hpijs to using the newer hplip package which is supposed to replace the old combination? If this is the case, we're having the same problem, which seems to be with hplip-0.9.7-r3. I haven't found a solution to the problem yet. According to the doc, you *must* have ppds in your USE flags for hplip to allow it to generate the .ppd files. FWIW, here are my USE flags for cups and hplip: net-print/cups-1.1.23-r7 -gnutls +nls +pam +samba +slp +ssl net-print/hplip-0.9.7-r3 +X +cups +foomaticdb +ppds +qt +scanner +snmp +usb hpijs blocks hplip, and I believe that (unfortunately) hpoj is now hard-masked, so it will be difficult to fall back to using the old (working) hpoj ptal interface.

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] CUPS stopped printing
Sometimes, due poor maintnance of low level foomatic driver in portage an updated foomatic driver dies silently and cups daemon thinks everything is finished printed fine, or if one is lucky as you, ends with dead process logged. You should enable full debug level for cupsd log to identify the exact cause of problem, find the error then I could give you an advice how to correct. LogLevel debug or debug2 in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf Last time it happened to me, the reason was a missing link to a binary which is called by foomatic and was moved somewhere else. I don't remember exact details. Previous foomatic failures had different cause but identical behavior (no symptomes at all), so I suggest to have at least debug level on all the time. After you get a working setup, consider locking current versions of foomatic and cups via masking any future version, on laptop you will have no security problem if some vulnerbilty will be discovered in them so you have no real need to update. -- Petr On Thursday 04 May 2006 16:18, A.

I My web server is still running an old SuSE system, but this should be basically the same. There are two ways to solve this. If you use the public_html subdirectory approach, $HOME only has to be o+x, so others can *enter* a user's directory but not *view* its contents. That should be acceptable if people use a safe umask. The reason we changed it a while ago was that we wanted to allow CGIs, at least for certain users some of which didn't know that much about input sanitizing 'n stuff, so a hacker could try to read other people's files by guessing their names---the web server would need access to the whole NFS-mounted parent of everybody's home. So now $HOME/public_html is just a link to /www/home/$USER which lives on the web server and is exported from there. That way a rogue CGI script could read other people's web pages which is far less critical. Of course you still have to check once in a while so you don't expose your passwd file or something. cheers! Matthias -- I prefer encrypted and signed messages.

I had the same problem, which has been solved by : # echo =net-print/foomatic-db-20050910 /etc/portage/package.mask # emerge -vau foomatic-db # /etc/init.d/cupsd restart The downgrade to the lower level of foomatic-db gives problems with the /etc/make.conf FEATURE=sandbox. However, this problem can be circumvented by (temporarily) replacing FEATURE=sandbox, with FEATURE=-sandbox -usersandbox in /etc/make.conf. Do this at your own risk! However, the real solution to the problem is to re-emerge foomatic-filters, as suggested by Frédéric in a later post. The cause of the problem is (as he said) documented in bug 131533: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131533 Either solution, downgrading foomatic-db or re-emerging foomatic-filters works fine.

The output on the initial terminal would be before after if I send 'kill -15 24292', the process doesn't react at first. It would exit after the 22743 process completed.

I have a similar problem to Matthias. /etc/init.d/net.eth0 no longer returns, so spamd, sendmail, saslauthd, etc. never start up. It used to work... In my case, the interface is up, but `/etc/init.d/net.eth0 status' says starting.

Hello List, I've been trying to upgrade an really old machine to the new gcc, and so, following the guide, I'm at the emerge --oneshot sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 step. This old hardware suits my needs for a web server and MySQL mirror, but that's about the charge it can handle, so, I've set PORTAGE_NICENESS to 15, I don't mind if it take a whole month to compile, but it must be responsive to other processes all the time. What I've noticed is that the process is using nice 0 (that pretty much makes the machine unusable), and distcc is not working, if it was, I'm pretty sure the time would reduce greatly because other emerge operations that use it are getting super fast responses thanks to the distcc and ccache wonders (my host is already upgraded). Is there a way to compile this or migrate GCC with binary packages or something like it? I have compatible CHOSTs flags on both machines and the other one is a fast server.

So now it works, but all the users can see each others home directories, which is unacceptable (security wise) for this server. So I am here to ask if anyone cen recommend a more secure way of doing this.

Re: [gentoo-user] gcc upgrade, portage niceness and distcc
One solution to this issue is to use the faster server as a binary host for the slower one. I was able to do something similar with a slow laptop and a fast desktop machine. I'm not in front of my gentoo machine right now, so I can't provide the exact details, but it goes something like this: On the fast machine (you can optionally do all of this inside a chroot): 1) set-up an ftp server and create a new user for the slower machine to use 2) in make.conf, set PKGDIR to a directory accessible to the ftp user created above 3) for each package you want to install on the slow machine, run: # emerge -B package name (Also, in make.conf, you can add buildpkg in FEATURES to always build binary packages whenever you emerge something.) On the slow machine: 1) in make.conf, add getbinpkg to FEATURES 2) in make.conf, set PORTAGE_BINHOST to ftp://login:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/binpkgs where fastmachine is the address of the fast machine used to build the packages. 3) then try to emerge the package on the slow machine This setup worked for me, but, of course, YMMV Matt On 5/4/06, Daniel da Veiga [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello List, I've been trying to upgrade an really old machine to the new gcc, and so, following the guide, I'm at the emerge --oneshot sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 step.

What I've noticed is that the process is using nice 0 (that pretty much makes the machine unusable), and distcc is not working, if it was, I'm pretty sure the time would reduce greatly because other emerge operations that use it are getting super fast responses thanks to the distcc and ccache wonders (my host is already upgraded).

[gentoo-user] java comm ports issue
Using rxtx, i cant get past square one on my current system. Ive been
trying on and off for the last few months to get some onewire devices
working with my system but havent had any luck. So in the process of
troubleshooting, I built and ran this fairly simple program:

As soon as I try to open any port, a native exception is thrown, which
is a flippin pain.
I am in uucp, and to be sure I have applied liberal permissions to the
serial devices in dev and the contents of /var/lock (and /var/lock
itself). ie
