E.g. an mmx USE flag usually tells the package through a configure switch (such as --enable-mmx) to autotools to enable some assembly code that uses the mmx instructions instead of some fallback code which doesn't. That assembly code is written manually rather than generated by the compiler (otherwise the CFLAG would suffice).

You've had a lot of generally sensible advice while I've been asleep (smile). I installed Gentoo exactly 3 yrs ago have never had regrets or problems. Read the installation guide the manual carefully before you start, have printed copies at hand follow to the letter what they say. Avoid the GUI installer, which is not a finished product yet. I did a Stage-3 GRP install, which gives you binaries to get started. After that, it's upto you how often you update packages: I do 'eix-sync' every Sat to get the list of what's available, check the nice colored list of what's changed during the week, then 'emerge' those which seem to be worthwhile. There are 3 levels of reliability: 'x86' (or whatever your platform is) has become something like Debian 'stable', ie rather conservative; '~x86' sb useable, but perhaps not for basic system items when new; 'hard-masked' is only for people willing to test buggy stuff. My compiling get done on a separate KDE desktop, while I do other things: Open Office takes 6 hr (overnight), but there is a binary, if you want it; a middle-sized set of KDE pkgs takes perhaps 3,5 hr ; otherwise, the longest compiles are c 1 hr (my CPU is an AMD 2500+). Gentoo is for people who want to manage their own boxes: you will need to edit configure files, but they're very well annotated.

[gentoo-user] Cannot mount volume on Gnome 2.16 when inserting CD?
Hi!
I recently reinstalled my Gentoo system and unmasked and installed
Gnome 2.16; the system is otherwise a ~x86 system.
When I now insert a DVD/CD or plugin a USB stick, I get a popup showing:
Cannot mount volume
But I can perfectly fine mount this volume manually. Eg.:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ LC_ALL=C LANG=C sudo mount -v /dev/dvd /mnt/test
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/dvd
I will try type iso9660
mount: block device /dev/dvd is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/hdc on /mnt/test type iso9660 (ro)
The device is not listed in /etc/fstab (see http://askwar.pastebin.ca/188677).
gnome-volume-manager is running:

When I run gnome-volume-manager --sm-disable -n, I get the following
output:

The second line with gnome-mount 0.4 was printed, when I inserted
the CD.
I've got a /media directory. When I try to manually mount the
CD using hal and gnome-mount, I get:

When I run the gnome-mount command as roót, the CD gets mounted just
fine.
What's broken on my system (other than using ~x86 and masked
packages *G*)?
Thanks,
Alexander Skwar

If I specify that resolution in xorg.conf, it says it's an invalid resolution and uses 1360x768 instead. Probably because that's the only mode built into the driver near your desired mode. Just put an appropriate modeline in your xorg.conf. Probably you can google it. But 1366 is a bit strange, though. In most cases, the horizontal size can be divided by 8, if not 16.

Re: [gentoo-user] Widescreen resolution strangeness with nvidia
The TV has a native resolution of 1366x768 as stated by the manufacturer. If I specify that resolution in xorg.conf, it says it's an invalid resolution and uses 1360x768 instead. Probably because that's the only mode built into the driver near your desired mode. Just put an appropriate modeline in your xorg.conf. Probably you can google it. But 1366 is a bit strange, though. In most cases, the horizontal size can be divided by 8, if not 16. Ok, I'll play with modelines later today. This leaves a column of six unused pixels on the left side of the screen. If I use the masked version of nvidia-driver, 1366x768 also fails, but it is replaced with 1280x768. Strangely, the screen in then completely filled.

Re: [gentoo-user] Router 3rd and 4th net interface problem
On Monday 02 October 2006 10:18, Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote about 'Re: [gentoo-user] Router 3rd and 4th net interface problem': I'm pretty confused. I'm trying to get the system in question to behave like a solid-state router that you can plug an ethernet jack into and be on the network. FYI, that doesn't require the router to have a unique IP. You could simply configure each router port as a separate subnet, if you really wanted to. How should eth1 and eth2 be configured in /etc/conf.d/net ? They should be configured as part of a bridge device (see the bridging section of /etc/conf.d/net.example) and have the address assigned (and DHCPD listing on) that bridge device. Except that this doesn't work on WLAN (MAC layer done by the WLAN adapter). eth1 and eth2 are both wired, no? How does 802.11a/b/g come into this? But probably proxy_arp can help here. And subnet separation, of course. Just extending the netmask a bit and enabling proxy_arp would do the job. OTOH, it's also easy to configure the routes to the other subnets via DHCP. Just a matter of taste. In any case, it only works on IP layer. I must admit that I've never used proxy_arp, but all ARP traffic occurs at the ethernet layer, below the IP layer, so it doesn't make sense to me for an option/program so named to only work on IP traffic. ARP is also only used intra-subnet, so this entire section doesn't make much sense to me. In *any* case, it's extremely unlikely that the OP is going to be carrying any significant amount of non-IP traffic. I feel that is an extraordinary enough condition to be mentioned. I've never used a switch before. Is there any proprietary software to configure (like with a router), or is it just a button or two? Generally a switch will have no configurable software; if it has anything worth configuring the manufacturer will call it a router and add 10-15$ to the price tag. In any case, I doubt you'll find a switch that supports 802.11a/b/g, since they will always require a little bit of configuration (ESSID and keys). You could get a wireless router (e.g. Linksys' WRT line), but they will have some software configuration. If you choose the right model, it'll be Linux instead of proprietary software. However, I know of no wireless routers that come from the manufacturer with Gentoo installed. In fact, I'm fairly sure that Gentoo doesn't provide any profiles, support, or even instructions for running on such hardware, which has severe [compared to a desktop] hw limitations. -- 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 pgpGRQBw6VB2m.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Wacky ssh X11 question...
I've three independent hosts - imaginatively called A, B and C. Firewall rules dictate that A can be directly accessed from B, but not from C... A and B run the openssh sshd, and C is a terminal with a working X-Windows display. C has a ssh session opened with B which tunnels port 22 on C to 22 on A. Thereafter, it is possible to ssh to localhost on C and get a ssh connection to A, which in turn I successfully use to tunnel IMAP, SMTP, Squid - etc. I'd have expected to be able to tunnel X11 over this link from C to A - but it fails... I'm unclear if the reason for the failure is the additional tunnelling... Is this technique incompatible with X11 tunnelling? Is there a way to make it work with a reverse-tunnel or something like that? Am I barking up the wrong tree entirely? -- HostC# echo $DISPLAY :0.0 HostC# cat .ssh/config ForwardX11 yes HostC# ssh localhost -X HostA# echo $DISPLAY HostA# exit HostC# ssh localhost -Y HostA# echo $DISPLAY HostA# exit HostC# -- If I use -v -v I get this output...

AR5005G 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) The setup uses ndiswrapper to load the Windows driver. For some reason this NIC seems to go off line quite a bit - maybe once a day. I'm assuming that this is caused by the Windows driver ndiswrapper having some sort of problem that is probably light years beyond my ability to debug. However running /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart always seems to get it going again. How can I set up the system to allow my son to run this command himself as a user?

What did you think it should do with --deep without --update? I'm no expert by any stretch, I just noticed that it was acting different and as illustrated, I could prove it. Perhaps I misunderstood what --deep was for. I guess I thought it was the package and any dependencies that NEEDED upgrade for the package to work. Now it feels like it just pulls in the other dependencies just because that's what they are. Again, I could be wrong. I just noticed more stuff being shown than usual, that's all.

[gentoo-user] Problems with AMD64 GRUB booting nvidia SATA JBOD
I attempting to transfer from PATA to SATA on my AMD64 box. The main problem I am having is that GRUB is not booting my new partition. The (one) SATA (Wsetern Digital WD740GD-00FLC0) drive is setup as JBOD (to get windows to install) on an nvidia controller (asus A8N-E bios rev 13). This is AMD64. I mounted sda2 and installed. Now I cannot get GRUB to launch sda2. The bootsector grub is installed on is hda. Thanks, Neil Leathers -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I don't think I checked if the server service is running on the WinXP box - I remember shutting it down some years ago in an effort to increase the security of this OS. Will look at it again when I get home tonight. Talking about security, is the vnc method the only way to secure this communication (for both machines)? Could there be perhaps ssh tunneling established between the two boxen before the rdp protocol kicks in? I believe the RDP connection is encrypted (using Diffie-Hellman or whatever algorithm Windows likes these days).

If you are after an analogue card I recommend a hauppauge PVR 150 or 250 or 350 or 500. The ivtv drivers can be flaky, but are improving all the time. The cards have a hardware mpeg-2 encoder, meaning you can get encoded video without using much cpu time. Also most stuff based on the bt878 chipset will work via the bttv driver. If it is DVB stuff you are afdter, look to the linuxtv.org website. You'll also get a lot of help on the mythtv mailing lists. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
