You have a lot of something cached: any idea what it might be ? -- the kernel should delete that stuff, if it needs the space. All Disk I/O is cached into memory. A good example is if you are playing a video game. Every time you load a new map, that map is cached in memory, so if you load that map again, the kernel won't get it from disk, but from the memory's cache. If your OS needs more ram, the cache is over-written with actual memory. Here is a simple explaination of what I'm talking about: http://linux.about.com/od/lsa_guide/a/gdelsa44.htm

Re: [gentoo-user] Downgrading from ~x86 to x86
On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 5:58 PM, daid kahl daid...@gmail.com wrote: Hello! I was running the unstable branch of portage primarily for about two years (mostly from user error when I first started), and I finally committed to downgrading to the stable branch last night. I did backups first, and I'm keeping some good logs of any trouble I encounter. So far, gnome libraries have been the most problematic. I mainly use KDE, but I use some gnome-based things like gimp and the gnome keyring. The fact that I don't run all the components of gnome (and there are almost no gnome packages in my world file) may be the only reason I've had to cleverly rebuild things. However, even revdep-rebuild will not catch most of these problems, and I have to equery errors like: /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so: undefined reference to `g_dgettext' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status For this case, I do a one-shot emerge on gnome-vfs and rebuild the failing package. But I also found some trouble with libbonobo, collisions between gail and gtk+ (where I had to manually uninstall gtk+, and reinstall gtk+ -- rebuilding wasn't enough, and it HAD been downgraded by portage earlier in the process). In the end, it all worked out (the gnome libraries that is, the general process is still underway), but Google was of no avail to most the problems, and I just winged most of it with intuitive order of reinstall, repeated revdep-rebuilds, and using equery b on the libraries causing errors. My question is, when downgrading (upgrading?) from unstable to stable, especially with packages that aren't explicitly in the world file, is this the behavior one should expect, or are these sorts of things worth bug reports? If revdep-rebuild was finding and solving all the problems, I'd say no bug. But when portage can't figure out what the problem is, and it only involved rebuilding installed dependencies in the right order, it makes portage not feel very sleek. I also know that running a system with global unstable keywords is probably not supported, especially for going back to global stable, which makes me feel like this isn't bug worthy. But giving pointers somewhere on how to get around these problems could be useful for someone else in the future perhaps. Input welcome. ~daid What specific steps did you take to downgrade? I remember doing a successful downgrade about 2 years ago. I pretty much just ran emerge -e world, then etc-update, reboot, and don't remember having too many problems if any.

Re: [gentoo-user] Perl woes MRO-Compat requires perl-5.10.0 [?!?!]
It is about catalystframework, which is in the perl-experimental overlay (a misnomer if ever there was one, experimental). It is about perl 5.10.0, which is long overdue for making it into the tree (never mind just into an overlay). You want to upgrade to perl 5.10.0 on an experimental/testing box? Or do you need perl 5.10.0 for a production environment? Also, it is about the (likely) painful migration that will come and how to get informed now. If there is a migration to perl 5.10.0 in the future, it will be as smooth as possible for users, especially those who stick to all non-~x86 or custom packages. Worst case scenario is that you'll have to follow an official guide that has you run some extra commands to ensure that upgrade goes through without problems for Gentoo users. perl 5.10.0 will not be marked stable until all upgrade issues are cleared either via appropriate documentation (official upgrade guide) or via bug fixes elsewhere. However, it pretty much confirms, by omission, that there are no plans/actions by the gentoo tree maintainers to address perl 5.10.0, I have to assume, or someone would have mentioned it. (But how to find out for sure?) And anyone else who runs into this (I must be the only one, though) will see a resolved bug. Is that a problem..?? If you need perl 5.10.0 in a production environment, now or in the future, then you might as well file a bug in bugs.gentoo.org requesting that perl 5.10.0 be put into the tree and stabilized. If there is enough interest by users and developers in getting 5.10.0 into the tree and stable, then you will likely see this bug resolved. If on the other hand you are the only one interested, then unfortunately you'll have to do the work in doing the work. I am confused about what you're intentions and needs are. Hopefully I've addressed some of your concerns or worries.

Didn't think that this has anything to do with it though. I have a hunch that this is the problem. Have you tried 2.6.27 without the proprietary ATI drivers? This is the first thing I would suspect because ATI drivers are not reputed --- or so I believe --- for being the best quality software out there. Either way, we need to eliminate as many factors as possible and one of these factors is your ATI driver change. I don't know much about Prime95, but if it won't simulate a subtlety in your video drivers, especially how proprietary ATI drivers will play with kernel 2.6.27.

I agree. Even if this is a bug, no open source developer could be qualified to fix it because fgrlx is closed source. If you can, report this to ATI, otherwise, you will have to live with the problem or use open source drivers.

OK, but a quick google on `site:gentoo.org VIDEO_CARDS' didn't turn up a way to determine what card is on the machine. At least not a recognizable hit I can see is about that. I'm pretty sure I can get that info without opening the cover but I'm drawing blanks about how. lspci should show you what video card you have. Look for VGA or something like that. For example on my system: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44 [Quadro NVS 285] (rev a1) So for me, I'd use either the nv or nvidia driver. Also, don't you have a video card section in xorg.conf? If you are using vesa or something then put that into your VIDEO_CARDS var.

csound uses scons and then installs files using a script called

Can you emerge attr, then run lsattr on the files that cannot be
unlinked? I suspect that they might have extended attributes
preventing those file from being deleted. If you do have extended
attributes, you can remove them using chattr, I've had extended
attributes appear before and to this day don't understand why they
showed up.

Everything is well, and the machine is running and officially I completed my task, but something still bothers me: The machine is connect to the company's computer network. In the Windows workstations, I log into a user that exists on the company's servers, and not on the individual workstations, and when I log certain network shares get mounted automatically (for example, My Documents sits on the server) and so on. My username and password are used automatically everywhere on the network, and so on. I assume this is the working of Active Directory, but my assumption maybe mistaken... Anyway, I want to duplicate this behavior on the Gentoo box, and I could find any documentation about it that I found to be relevant. For now, I have a small script in /etc/profile.d/ that mounts important shares, although the localizations is some what wrong and non-English files appear as question marks (They should be in Hebrew). Can anyone help me or point to some howto, guide, whatever that I might have missed? As far as I know, don't take my word for it, in order to use Active Directory on a GNU/Linux host, you need to setup LDAP and have it talk to AD. Unfortunately I don't know how to do this, perhaps this will help: http://www.linux.com/articles/40983 . As far as non-English filenames appearing with question marks, you need to setup localization correctly. This http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml or this http://gentoo-wiki.com/Localization might help you get that setup. Once again, I've never done this, so maybe someone who has can be of more help to you.

I have defined some key mappings for other keys, none of them involves F keys, and the behaivor is the same weather I use the mappings or not. Could you perhaps give me a hand with this? When you press CTRL+ALT+F1 for instance, do you get a black screen? Or do you remain in the fluxbox/kde X session? There is no freeze up either right? I don't know how much it will help, but can you post all of the xorg files you edited? Maybe someone will spot something unusual...

Re: [gentoo-user] Sync'ing and compiling pkgs for multiple PCs
On Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 4:09 PM, Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Below I explain my story, I show some difficulties and near the end ask a few questions, but last paragraph is my main question, comments on the rest is greatly appreciated. I have 3 computers and they are all setup the same with the exception of the kernel that has different options for the youngest of my pcs. I'm looking for a simple, easy and efficient way to keep them all up2date. I want to avoid 3 --sync to the gentoo servers. I have tried to setup one of my pc as central server and sync the others on it, but has the main disadvantage that the other PCs are dependant on it (ok, it's not so difficult to change make.conf). Then, I would have to compile approximately 3 times the same software. My computers are slow, I am poor, can't buy new hardware (FORGET IT). So I tried turning on buildpkg and compile on my fastest PC. I already use unison to sync my /home directory through ssh, i use it because it is simple and does exactly what I need out of the box. (Compared to rsyncd, where you need to setup a server, setup the firewall, what about security?...). Anyway, I decided to sync /usr/portage with unison as well, which worked fine and I had the binpkgs on the other pc. When I did an `emerge -k -uDN world` I found that many packages still had to be built. I extracted the list of packages and versions, formated properly and emerged them all on my fastest pc, ran through the same routine and at the end I had to recompile just a few packages that I let run (nothing like gcc or glibc, hehe). Now, with my unison technique I believe the only flaw was that I didn't have the list of all packages on all my PCs and I wonder if there is a way to generate such a list, similar to what `emerge -vp -uDN world` gives but in a format ready for emerge, so I can dump the pkg list for the 3 pc in 3 files and run emerge on those 3 files. I would compile them -1, which, as I understand it would upgrade my system (upgrade but not change world entries) and install unneeded packages around. I would then use --depclean which would remove the unneeded packages cleanly and finally revdep-rebuild. I would be left with my fastest pc's world up2date + all binpkgs of all 3 pcs. The advantage of my unison technique is it's transparent to any 3 pc, if a pkg is not there, it downloads the distfile from the internet and compiles it, completely independant. Just doing the --sync requires a little bit of consideration. I'm wondering if there is (i'm sure there is) a better practice in the compilation of binpkgs for use by multiple computers, so that none of the other computers will compile (quick update for them) and that the compiling computer can compile all needed pkgs in one run preferably. As usual, if you can answer my question directly on the mailing list that'd be nice, if you could give URLs to some documentation that answers my question that'd be very nice too! Thanks, Simon I don't have time right now to answer all of your questions, but in terms of having all machines have the same list of installed packages, all you probably need is /var/lib/portage/world . This lists all of the packages that you emerged. I.e. those packages not brought in via dependencies. If you have the same USE flags set on all machines, then you should not see the need for new dependencies to be brought in on any of the non-compile machines.

I've tried upgrading to every kernel as they have entered into portage, and none since 2.6.20-r8 seems to be able to find the Vmware SCSI disk. The most recent try was gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r6, which failed the same way. I've tried to download a 2008.0 current boot CD; that has the same problem. I've also tried SystemRescueCd, which does the same, but since it was based on gentoo, I wasn't too hopeful of it working.

Up until now, I have been using a cheap little windows utility to monitor monthly bandwidth and warn me if I go above my ISP's maximum. However, this has become inaccurate due to my use of Windows network shares. This machine now routinely records upload bandwidth in excess of 300 gigabytes per month, however I do not know which part of that is actually going to the interwebs. My question is this: is there a utility in Portage that you could recommend that would monitor bandwidth on a specific network interface, send me monthly reports via email and warn me if I am using too much bandwidth?

NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 169.09 Fri Jan 11
14:04:37 PST 2008
cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
First thing I did was verify it was a good disc by putting it in my Windows
laptop I use for work and running WinDVD. It played just fine, so I know it
has to be some part of the linux system not understanding the disk.
Second thing I did was upgrade to the latest kernel - 2.6.24-gentoo-r7 -
to see if that would solve the problem since it seemed like the DVD driver
was not able to recognize the disk at all. It successfully got rid of the
error from 'dmesg'; however, xine (0.99.5) is still unable to play the disk
- complaining about not being able to load the plug-in for the MRL. Other
DVDs from the same boxset (even the two discs after it) play just fine under
both kernels. Also, I can't mount the disc.
I also ran 'xine' with the verbose flag. You can find the output at
http://www.geocities.com/bm_witness/gentoo/xinedvd.txt.gz
(sorry, for some reason Yahoo/Geocities didn't want to accept a standard
text file, so I had to gzip it.)
I'm not afraid to do some kernel hacking to resolve this if someone would
point me in the right direction to do so - or at least to providing some
help to it.
FYI: /dev/dvd points to hdc. Trying to open '/dev/hdc' yields the same
results - though no information in the logs. :-
I'd very much like to find a solution to this problem.
Any help, tips, etc. would be very much appreciated.
TIA,
Ben

It seems that a sector on the disk might be bad. Windows reads around
the sector somehow is my guess. I'm not very familiar with xine. I use
either mplayer or videolan (aka vlc). What I would try to do is, run
the disk without mounting it; just tell your program to read directly
from the device.I'm not sure if you are already doing this, if you
are try the reverse: mount then play the .VOB files.
