Re: [gentoo-user] Wireless question...
Hello Jerry McBride,
The problem I have is, how to get ifconfig eth1 up to run before the
wireless stuff?
Add it to the preup function in /etc/conf.d/net. Something like this
should do it.
preup() {
if [[ ${IFACE} == eth1 ]]; then
ifconfig eth1 up
else
return 0

[gentoo-user] Problem with CPU temperature (Santa Rosa CPU)
Hi list, i have a Santa Rosa (Core 2 Duo T7300) Acer AS5720 laptop, and i'm getting problems with the temperature of the CPU. In particular i'm using the coretemp module for determining the core temperature. Normally (using cpufreqd and the ondemand governor) the CPU stays at nearly 50C (which i think is quite high since in windows , using Core Temp it gives about 30C). While compiling this increases up to 95-100C (after which it shuts down). The problem is that the fan is not spinning up at all! What can be the cause of this behaviour? consider that i'm using an up to date system with gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r8. Any help appreciated, Regards, Marco -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Hello Dan Farrell, The parentheses mean the flag is not available in your profile. in this case, those video cards are for specific, non-x86 hardware. Perhaps this is entirely true, and I am misinterpreting. But the manpage appears to say differently: () circumfix = forced, masked, or removed Not only might those options be masked, they might also be 'forced' or 'removed'.

No, it is forced on. But in the example I replied to, all the flags were in the form (-flag), not (flag). I think instead the support is 'forced' because my processor supports it, although perhaps I am incorrect. It might also be 'forced' because a dependency uses it, and therefore openssl can't _not_ use it, so it adds it in be default. If the program can't not use it, the option is no longer optional, so there would be no point in a USE flag anyway. In this case, I suspect your profile is for CPUs that have SSE, so there is no point in providing an option to disable it.

[gentoo-user] alsa problem
I just setup a gentoo in my dell1400 laptop,and until now,the sound problem is not solved yet. Here is the problem: $ aplay 01.mp3 ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:545: audio open error: No such file or directory And here is my hardware: # lspci | grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation HD Audio Controller (rev 02) I compiled the alsa driver as the modules: M Intel HD Audio And I can start my alsasound: # /etc/init.d/alsasound start * Loading ALSA modules ... * Loading: snd-card-0 ... [ ok ] * Loading: snd-seq ... [ ok ] * Restoring Mixer Levels ... [ ok ] I can alsaconf,but not alsamixer: $ alsamixer No mixer elems found I also tried to emerge alsa-driver and didn't use the driver in the kernel,but the result was all the same. Any advice?

RE: [gentoo-user] Re: Remerge the system with gcc-4.1?
I've held off on doing this gcc update as I'm on an old P4 2Ghz notebook with 1G RAM (Dell i8200). Things are generally working okay (as well as any linux/gentoo system can be I guess). What is the compelling reason to update if any? I've masked out this new GCC for many months and have had no issues thus far that I know of. I absolutely dread dicking with this for days and days, fixing things that currently work, merging all the /etc/ files with the new ones for the same packages that will be simply re-compiled with the new GCC. So my questions are: [a] what compelling reason is there to upgrade (other than you should b/c it's stable) [b] is it just better to d/l a new Gentoo .iso install that has all this crap already, copy over my world file or whatever and have it install the missing packages (apache, php, mysql, kde, gnome, etc) [c] if I do that method, I would save the hassle of KDE and Gnome right? As they come as binaries already? [d] can I just not fix if it aint broke and keep with what I have? Or is this just a question of time before I start hitting walls of new packages I can't use. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Fish Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 3:13 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Remerge the system with gcc-4.1?

Actually, with all due respect, it is unnecessary to recompile anything other than the programs which depend on libstdc++. Yeah, I thought this too. And in fact, I also did a revdep-rebuild for the 4.1 upgrade and did not experience any problems between then and the time I eventually did an emerge -e world. But check the archives of this list from around the time when gcc-4.1 hit ~arch, and you will see that that did *not* work for everybody. We learned the hard way that the safe route is emerge -e world. And it isn't just my say-so...the gentoo devs insist ([1] [2]) that the emerge -e world is the only safe option. They don't say these things because they want users to waste a bunch of time...
