Of course, I couldn't wait. User is all set and I'm obviously no linux
sysadmin... or whatever.

Problem with slowness using gnome-shell was caused by user being in the
'video' group. Hmm. Not entirely needed, I guess. Can't say what's up
with that.

Anyway, I might stick with this, be ahead of the curve, or suffer
needlessly, for a bit. Nice to know I worked on documenting a fix for
vertical gnome-panels, but may not need it now...

A couple of years ago, I experienced the same type of issue where nfs

I current use nfs between kubuntu, gentoo, and macbook (10.5.8 2GHz

gentoo systems.  I use autofs on each system for mounting the nfs

The insecure parameter is required to allow the macbook to connect.

The rsize and wsize seem to work fine for streaming dvd iso images to

I'd recommend net-p2p/deluge (http://deluge-torrent.org/).
It has all the features I ever wanted and its written in Python using
libtorrent as engine.

It runs as a non-ui daemon to which you can connect clients via network.
Existing clients are: console, web and gtk+.

I start the daemon and a web client on my server, and connect ether via
web or with the gtk-ui :)

It has no build-in tracker, but I recommend using a public one anyway
(for example http://openbittorrent.com/).

Bye,
Daniel

This reminds me of a problem we had just recently.
Have you got a multi-core CPU ?
If yes, read on.

We have 6 machines here running an identical Gentoo system
(just different hostname and IP number)
with a AMD Phenom II quad core CPU and identical mother boards.
One of them had these random crashes you reported.
I've totured memory by running up to 3 memtester-processes
over night - no single fault. Our dealer has replaced the motherboard -
again no change. Then I suspected the CPU itself although it has stood
a burnK7 run for several hours.

After the CPU has been replaced the spook has gone.
I suspect a cache coherence problem. The normal memory tests
assign a given window of the physical storage to a given core -
even if run in parallel. But a typical usage under Linux switches 
the core which executes a given thread quite frequently.
Now the Phenom II has 4 core each with a private 0.5 Mb primary cache
but a 6 Mb second level cache common to all 4 cores.
In the BIOS one can opt for all 4 cores using this secondary cache
or for only a single core using it.
When a core writes to this cache or to memory all other cores must be
informed that their private cache is invalid. If this doesn't happen or
happens a bit too late, a core will fetch invalid (old) memory contents
which may result in a crash.
So, if you can, set the BIOS switch that only a single core
can use the secondary cache. If the problems disappears
the CPU is broken.

I hope you can solve your problem,
Helmut.

Why does the chicken cross the road?
Einstein: it's not the chicken crossing the road, it is the road crossing the
 chicken.
Heisenberg: well, if you know it is moving, you can't know where it is; and if
 you know where it is, you can't really know where it's going. Therefore
 you can't know for certain that the chicken is actually crossing the road.
von Neumann: it satisfies the Minimax theorem for worm finding.
Schroedinger: not really. It is in the state of crossing and not crossing at
 the same time. Until you observe it, you can't really be sure.
Pauli: Well, it must be that there's another chicken of the same shape, size, 
 color, taste, smell, etc. on this side of the road...
Newton: an unbalanced force
Bohr: Because it is excited, and because it can't stay on the road...

Just restore your latest backup to the new partition, then edit /etc/fstab

[gentoo-user] what is overloaded my X server?

2009-11-24 Thread Helmut Jarausch
Hi,

on one of several machines and only occasionally
my X-server (/usr/bin/X) takes nearly 100% CPU.
I have killed some applications but this didn't help
unless I killed X itself and restarted it.

Is there any way to find out what is hogging my X server?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

Thank you for your answers.
 The relevant error says: No file or folder of this type. It seems
 that it cannot find X11/extensions/XTest.h

That's it!
I tried to find out what to do, but in Google
I didn't find anything which helps.

I put xtest.h in /usr/include/X11/extensions
but it didn't work.

Perhaps something else?
I tried lafilefixer --justfixit without success.
When we read revdep-rebuild answer we can see
that the broken libs require -lesd
I can't find neither what it means nor what to do...

 I am still looking for a pattern or an error-message somewhere ...

 
 This reminds me of a problem we had just recently.
 Have you got a multi-core CPU ?
 If yes, read on.
 
 We have 6 machines here running an identical Gentoo system
 (just different hostname and IP number)
 with a AMD Phenom II quad core CPU and identical mother boards.
 One of them had these random crashes you reported.
 I've totured memory by running up to 3 memtester-processes
 over night - no single fault. Our dealer has replaced the motherboard -
 again no change. Then I suspected the CPU itself although it has stood
 a burnK7 run for several hours.
 
 After the CPU has been replaced the spook has gone.
 I suspect a cache coherence problem. The normal memory tests
 assign a given window of the physical storage to a given core -
 even if run in parallel. But a typical usage under Linux switches 
 the core which executes a given thread quite frequently.
 Now the Phenom II has 4 core each with a private 0.5 Mb primary cache
 but a 6 Mb second level cache common to all 4 cores.
 In the BIOS one can opt for all 4 cores using this secondary cache
 or for only a single core using it.
 When a core writes to this cache or to memory all other cores must be
 informed that their private cache is invalid. If this doesn't happen or
 happens a bit too late, a core will fetch invalid (old) memory contents
 which may result in a crash.
 So, if you can, set the BIOS switch that only a single core
 can use the secondary cache. If the problems disappears
 the CPU is broken.

Phew, quite some theory ... do you positively know that this was the reason?

I think I haven't seen such a setting in my BIOS.

I use an Intel Core2Duo E6600 on a Intel DP965LT board here, 8 gigs of
RAM lately ...

BUT my issues really only started after completely going to ~amd64, I
never saw such a crash before when I used a mixed setup (most pkgs
stable, some unstable ...)

I will have a look at my BIOS now.

Thanks anyway for that information, greets to Aachen (from Austria) ...

[gentoo-user] mesa's libGL.so looking in wrong place for r300_dri.so

2009-11-24 Thread Grant Edwards
I just switched to the radeon driver from the fglrx driver
Fglrx was a pretty old version and DRI had stopped working.
Oddly, emerge has forgotten it's installed. It obviously is
installed: it works (mostly), all its files are there, and 
and eselect opengl still shows an ati option.  How do you
uninstall a package that emerge claims isn't installed?

Anyway, I can't get DRI working with the open-source radeon
driver.  Mesa's libGL.so seems to be broken.  I've re-emerged
both mesa and mesa-progs, but libGL.so (part of mesa) can't
find other .so files that are _also_ part of mesa.

Here's the output from glxinfo with debugging turned on:

   libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 5.3.0 r300 (screen 0)
   libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/dri/r300_dri.so

(/usr/X11R6/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared obj$
   libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
   libGL error: reverting to indirect rendering
   
mesa's libGL can't find r300_dri.so and swrast_dri.so, even
though they're both part of the same package and are exactly
where mesa installed them:

   # equery files mesa | grep dri.so
   /usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so
   /usr/lib/dri/r300_dri.so
   /usr/lib/dri/radeon_dri.so
   /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so
   
   # ls -l /usr/lib/dri
   total 9072
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2379724 Nov 24 14:55 r200_dri.so

   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2138328 Nov 24 14:55 swrast_dri.so
   
Why is libGL.so looking in the wrong place for the dri modules?

I suppose I could symlink /usr/X11R6/dri - /usr/lib/dri, but
shouldn't the mesa ebuild have done that if it's required?

 Oddly, emerge has forgotten it's installed. It obviously is
 installed: it works (mostly), all its files are there, and 
 and eselect opengl still shows an ati option.  How do you
 uninstall a package that emerge claims isn't installed?

I still haven't figured out how to get rid of all the files
belonging to the ati-drivers package.

 Why is libGL.so looking in the wrong place for the dri modules?

 I suppose I could symlink /usr/X11R6/dri - /usr/lib/dri,

Adding that symlink solved the problem.

 but shouldn't the mesa ebuild have done that if it's required?

Apparently this breakage was due to the switch to modular X11 a
while back.  The instructions I was following said to delete
/usr/X11R6 if it wasn't a symlink, but they never said to
create a symlink.  Apparently a number of packages depend on
that symlink being there, but none of them will create it if it
isn't there.

Maybe you can emerge it again (overwrite existing files) and then unmerge it.

I tried that, but the emerge failed.  I'll be working on
figuring out why...

no, just leave hdparm. sdparm and hdparm have different features.

But you don't need to run hdparm as a boot service anymore (except maybe for 
your optical drive. Maybe.)



  


I use hdparm to get info but do not run it as a service.  It seems the 
BIOS and Linux picks up the best settings as it boots anyway.  I also 
use hdparm for my SATA drive with no problems so far. 


Why would a person need both?

[gentoo-user] eclipse portage package

2009-11-24 Thread Chuck Robey
I was checking to see what version of eclipse seems to have a portage package,
and I was kinda shocked that the package seems a bit outdated.  3.4 is the
current portage package, but eclipse has been at 3.5 for a good while now.
Seeing as the eclipse website has a linux binary 3.5+ package, unless I've
overlooked something available from gentoo (I would be overjoyed to have made
that mistake) then I'm going to be forced to see how to coax portage to allow me
to use that eclipse site binary package to sub for ALL eclipse packages.

Anyone know how to get portage to make externally supplied binaries to supply
portage eclipse dependencies?  All of the huge number of eclipse plugins can be
done without using portage just fine, but the eclipse itself, that I would
really rather use a portage ebuild for installation.

I don't know about installing binary stuff - probably wouldn't work
unless you have exactly the right libraries and what not. Anyway, I
seem to see a 3.5 version masked with ~ . Note that I would unmask it
in portage.keywords and not the way I'm showing it below.
