Re: [gentoo-user] Labeling reiserfs partitions
You can always run mkreiserfs and, after that, restore the data with reiserfsck. -- Pozdrawiam Janusz YANOUSHek Bossy gg# 791964 tlen [EMAIL PROTECTED] jabber [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] what's exactly --deep for ?
On 7/21/06, Enrico Weigelt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ah, so let's say i've installed package A (in world) which required B. if I use --update w/o --deep, only A gets updated, but not B. What happens when a newer version of A requires some newer version of B than currently installed ? Is B updated automatically ? If it's explicitly specified in the ebuild then B will get updated. It won't be updated on any other condition. In my opinion doing emerge --update world instead of emerge --update --deep world will break your system fast. -- Pozdrawiam Janusz YANOUSHek Bossy gg# 791964 tlen [EMAIL PROTECTED] jabber [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It shouldn't, because if any package explicitly requires a later version of a library, it will be specified in the ebuild and therefore updated. I know that the Gentoo team is pretty well organised but there always is at least one mistake. I'm not saying that something is wrong but I like to know that everything will be allright with my system after an update without checking all the new ebuild files :) -- Pozdrawiam Janusz YANOUSHek Bossy gg# 791964 tlen [EMAIL PROTECTED] jabber [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I always managed to restore my partition after mkfs.reiserfs and fsck.resierfs --rebuild-tree -S.

This was of course with an already-restored backup. IIRC there's also an options to fsck.reiserfs that makes it repair errors because by default it only show what it has found.

Re: [gentoo-user] My CPU seems to run hotter with Gentoo as opposed to Windows XP
On 7/13/06, Richard Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For some reason the CPU seems to run very hot with a lot of fan activity compared to when I boot XP, plus overall performance seems slow in comparisom to XP with Gnome freezing for a few seconds on occasion as though the system is stretched. I had exactly the same thing on my Athlon-MP. The whole idea is that Windows automatically scales mobile CPU down (mine to about 500MHz) when it's not being used so the temperature drops down a bit. I have configured powernowd to autoscale my CPU and it's working exactly the same as on Windows now. You can try something like that. Try to find something what has to do with intelistep (that's the name of the cpu scaling engine from Intel AFAIR).

There are nice sftp/scp apps for windows - winscp works great. This is no Internet Explorer thing and this is exactly the place he should ask. The problem isn't that IE doesn't support sftp but we are looking for something on Gentoo that IE supports (possibly ftps or similar). I haven't heard about anything like that, but on the other side I was never looking for it :) -- Pozdrawiam Janusz YANOUSHek Bossy gg# 791964 tlen [EMAIL PROTECTED] jabber [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] big problem, small solution
I have the same kind of problem with my laptop (Athlon mobile 2400+). It's normally working at 43-50 C but after some time it starts reaching 55-60 C without compiling. Once it even shut down after reaching 100 C while compiling. Fortunatelly I blew it's air intakes with oxygen and it is working normally right now. I advise you to clean the intakes two times a year -- it will help your computer live long :) -- Pozdrawiam Janusz YANOUSHek Bossy gg# 791964 tlen [EMAIL PROTECTED] jabber [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
