[gentoo-user] Beryl: white square
Hi, I tried to install beryl on my unstable gentoo (so I've the version 0.2.1) but when I launch it, I've got the famous white square. I've tried a lot of things which I've read from forums but with no results. I've a ATI Radeon Mobility U1 (Radeon IGP 320 M) and I'm using the free driver: radeon (from the package xf86-video-ati) because fglrx doesn't works with my card. here is the output of beryl when I launch it: ** * Beryl system compatiblity check* ** Detected xserver: AIGLX Checking Display :0.0 ...

[gentoo-user] hp dat 72 compression problem
Hello!
I have problem using our hp dat 72 in our fileserver. I'm not able to put 72
GB of data on the cartridge, though I set the compression to 1 in the
stinit.def file.
Here is the contents of the config file:
# cat /etc/stinit.def
manufacturer=HP model=C7438A {
scsi2logical=1
mode1 blocksize=512 compression=1
}
Strange that the writing stops at block 90669441 and because one block means
512 bytes, it seems that I can write 90669441*512=46 422 753 792 bytes
(~46.5GB) on the tape, and I thougth that the capacitiy of the tape is either
36 or 72 GB.
Maybe I should play with the density code parameter instead of the
compression, but I don't know what value I sould set. Currently I'm using the
density code 0x47 (TR-5) (this is the default value).
Does anybody know how to set up the drive to be able to write 72GB of data
onto it?
Thanks for the help in advance,
Istvan

Pictures, movies, music files, everything already compressed. This stuff may even take up more space after packing. So 46gb on a 36/72gb tape is not bad for mixed data.

Hi all.. Certainly some package have a maximun optimisation. I really believe, the optimisation level is a very interesting thing bucause all depend of what you need and you have all power of your system, only gentoo can give you that. it's very good to see a server compiling most of the applications, and people with few resources in thier pc's can run a very good operating system and no die trying... :P Looking for more information on the web, I see http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7269. In that article: ...The simplest way to achieve good performance is to rely on the -O2 optimization level; if you're not interested in portability, specify the target architecture using -march=. For space-constrained applications, the -Os optimization level should be considered first.. All is your decision based in what you need...

[gentoo-user] after major upgrade questions remain
Hi group, I did an emerge -uD world on a box with the 2.6.12 kernel on it via the 2005.1 livecd. 1)From the logs or perhaps an online doc I read that I must manage a static /dev or ensure udev starts on boot. But how? There's no udev in init.d or conf.d. 2)The emerge process terminated with the message 'slocate' renamed 'locate'. and to run #groupmod -n locate slocate. Which I did and was able to resume the process. Now in the new system both man locate and man slocate go to the same file, slocate(1). So what was that all about? It seemed important enough to shut the whole process down. 3)Another message state with regard to glibc upgrade /etc/locales.build to /etc/local.gen then run /etc/locals.build. Words to that effect.

It's awesome. However, I think the next step is to control everything from a laptop on the couch. How would you set this up? - Grant The easy way is to use a big cursor theme and just use your laptop as a remote keyboard/mouse for your TV. (in addition to stuff like mythweb and the like) Do like so: (assuming tv runs on display :0, which it most likely does ) Get mythtv or whatever running by auto-login and startup script. Assume that your tv is running as user tv, hostname tv. From your laptop: ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED], then x2x -to :0 -north. This makes the tv-screen look like an extension of your laptop screen, situated above (north) of your laptop. Now whenever you move your mouse up, out of the laptop screen, your laptop keyboard and mouse controls the tv... That sounds like a wonderful way to do this, but it certainly doesn't count as the easiest way, easy as it is. I think that prize goes to simply logging into the tv box remotely (ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED], just like above) as the same user that has logged into X on the tv box. Then set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to the tv screen (most likely :0) and your ssh-session screen will be the TV. It isn't as nice as the x2x solution, but it requires nothing special to do. That's how I usually do it. -- Dan. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Youve got to update your system. Why on earth is a new install getting 2.6.12? So what? The Pentium III is older that the software. but ... the isn't working properly. If I were attempting to make your processor work differently, I would concede the point. But there's many more requirements for a kernel than just supporting the processor and other hardware. It also has to support software, namely in this case udev. Not having proper udev support could certainly cause the problems we're seeing here, don't you think? I don't need all the bells and whistles. Don't need X or gnome or even a mouse. I'm kind of a minimalist too. _My_ laptop is a Pentium 166. Nevertheless, I try to keep it up to date. 2.6.12 was a long time ago -- http://kerneltrap.org/node/5308 dates it at about 20+ months old, being from late june 2005. Also, upgrades are difficult here in the boonies. Modem speed is approx 28k. I feel your pain. I was on dialup for a long time. I was actually running a 2.4 kernel 8 months or so ago, and that was really outdated. Getting it up to date was a real pain, and I wish I would have saved myself the hassle and updated it regularly. That was a learning experience; ) I got newer software on the working PC, 2.6.16, So it's not exactly bleeding edge but it works fine. I could transfer the newer stuff with ssh but that doesn't seem to be working either. Probably a similar problem. Udev would be responsible for creating network devices such as eth0 based on -mw I agree that you never really need the latest and greatest. That's especially true for hardware when you run gentoo. But software changes quickly, unlike hardware, and is constantly improving. You don't necessarily get bells and whistles, you get bug fixes and performance enhancements as well. Bells and whistles can be left out of the kernel easily enough. I guess you could count udev as a bell or whistle, in which case you could always manage a static /dev by hand. I don't know how to do this, or I probably would on my laptop. Good luck with your /dev problems, and may the solutions be swift and painless ; ) -- Dan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I for some reason run -03 on all my emerges and allow the ebuilds to sort out the maximum acceptible optimization level. As far as I can tell, nothing's been broken by that. I don't run testing or anything, and it _is_ more dangerous, but I'm doing it without problems. For the record. Finally, as people have already said, --newuse is to recompile when you change your use flags. You want to rebuild the system and the world as if none of the dependancies are already installed (so that they get rebuilt too, even if not explicity a part of your world or system) and the way to do that is -e (--emptytree).
