Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 4.1.2... a winner!
Well, I took notice that kde 4.1.2 is in portage... I quickly removed kde-svn and layman and began the unmasking and keywording of 4.1.2. I let it all install over night and... This morning, with a little trepidation, I booted into KDE-4.1.2... no problems! This is the first of the recent kde4.x releases that I've been able to take full advantage of. Success at last... Cheers. I had tried KDE-4.1.1 and see that there is no problems to use it! i tried like much other people KDE-4.0 and there it was in heavy development. KDE-4.1.2 is running good, too. The only biggest thing i see in moment is the Amarok and hanging _sometimes_. But this will be done near future. The second is, if you like to configure your panel's you are not able to choose the place of icon's were you want to place it exactly. on kde-look.org is a panel-spacer available.

Re: [gentoo-user] [ot] Correct Setup for DVDRAM
Storing data on a dvd is always quite useful and dvds cost much less than usb keys or other... I've been thinking about one thing. Is there any such thing as an incremental filesystem for write-once-read-only media (ie. DVD+-R)?... A filesystem that would append the inode table at the end of the session at each session, and the table would refer to previous dvds, only the last table would be read, previous tables ignored (unless used for journaling)... This would make that after some time of usage if you wish to copy certain files back to a hd, the filesystem would have to instruct you to insert a specific series of dvds in order to extract all those files (or blocks). This of course will clearly result in waste and large number of dvds if used a lot in read-write operations (ie, nothing gets ever rewritten but instead can be no longer referenced by the table). I've been thinking on hacking the ext2 kernel driver to support this kind of thing. Of course the goal with such filesystem is for backup of individual files, but since I would be using something like a modified ext2fs, a very large file could be spread on multiple dvds, be fragmented and stored this way transparently. Another way might be to use a read-writable media for storing the fs table. Possibly, using a modified ext2fs which would transparently work like a real ext2fs, a tool like rsync could be used to make true incremental backups using the hard-links trick. But it could also be used like a rarely used hard-drive which does not suffer from magnetic deterioration (however unlikely this is). Any such tool? If not, this would be my first project dealing with kernel programming.

Everything else works fine. But writing a complete DVDRAM takes hours. As recommended I use UDF as the filesystem of choice -- no unnessary rewrite of the same sectors of the DVDRAM. I tried to use packet-writing but ot does not help. Is there any definite recipe how setup everything to get any reasonable transfer rate to and from the DVDRAM or is it simply not possible with Linux? Any help is very appreciated -- thank you very much in advance! mcc I've given up packet writing a long time ago. It never worked for me. IMHO both udftools and the kernel driver are not really usable (just try udffsck ...) and with the advent of flash memory I don't think anyone will invest a lot of work in either one.

If you are able to burn using dev=/dev/cdrom, there may be a security hole in your system.

Hi, Thanks for the reply,I also notice the error part about the glx module in the Xorg.log file,and I tried to reinstall the nvidia-drivers package,but the problem still remains. After checking your xorg.conf file,I think the only difference that can cause my problem is in Section Module part. I tried to load dbe and other modules you mentioned,but still,nvidia showed this error message. Any other ideas? Thank you very much!

[gentoo-user] Network Down Apps trying to use lo instead of eth0
I rebooted and my network is down. eth0 is actually running, but from what I can tell my applications like Evolution and Firefox are trying to use lo. I have the link set up # cd /etc/init.d # ln -s net.lo net.eth0 /etc/conf.d/net has config_eth0=( dhcp ) rc-update add net.eth0 default returns that eth0 is already default. I can see it come up when I boot, but lo also comes up. I don't remember ever creating lo.

[gentoo-user] fcron driving me crazy
Hi, every fcron is starting updatedb. I dont need this service on a daily basis. I am starting updatedb by hand if I need a fresh db. But I need a full fcron installed for other purposes, so I need to find the script, which tells fcron to start updatedb. I have tried to disable all scripts, but it seems, that I am not able to do so ;) I edited also roots fcrontab and my own fcrontab to not to start updatedb -- they are fixed. My question: Where are other things installed, which trigger updatedb on a daily basis?

Re: [gentoo-user] Asus Eee Gentoo install - no CD drive
Hey Grant, I'm the owner of an EeePC 701 (though it recently became defective, i'm opening a case with asus for repairs...). First thing i did was to burn Slax 6 (see slax @ http://www.slax.org/) on a USB key, boot it and `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc` (bye bye lite-version-of-xandros-for-kids-or-retards-only). Slax comes with scripts to automate the process of making the key bootable. Go into the bios while the key is in, and you will be able to choose your USB Megacorp key drive (or whatever) as the boot device, reboot and enjoy a very nice, complete, full featured linux distribution. It should easilly become your rescue disk for your EeePC. From there, you will simply follow all instructions for installing gentoo on your sdd hd in a chrooted environment. This will work exactly like with the cd (well, you'll have to work with it as if it was a network install and download the relevant packages). Slax comes with konqueror as the browser, but you can download modules to get firefox instead and simply place them in the key, if i remember right at /path-to-key/slax/modules/. Have fun! Grant wrote: I'm very familiar with installing Gentoo via LiveCD, but I'm not sure how to go about it without a CD drive. I'm sure there are many exotic options to choose from, but I'd rather not have to learn too much new stuff to get this done. Can anyone recommend a simple method? I have a wired/wireless LAN/internet connection and 3 systems on the LAN running Gentoo. No USB drive though. - Grant
[gentoo-user] GCC compilation disk space
Hi list: Is it me or does gcc take more disk space to compile now? I am trying to upgrade to gcc-4.3.2, and the compile stopped become it ran out of disk space--after eating up ~700 MB in /var/tmp. I seem to recall running into the same problem with the 4.3.1-r1 that I have installed at the moment. After cleaning out some cruft, I starting the compilation with 1.3 GB left on the partition, and so far it has used close to 800MB one-hour into the emerge. I don't remember gcc-3 being such a resource hog when building. So I wonder: is this the expected behaviour or is something wrong with my box? W -- Fucking shit, man, this is ridiculous.
