Re: [gentoo-user] How can I find 2nd network adapter?

 Hi Gentoo-users,

 I added the 2nd network adapteer to my gentoo-box and I want
 to use it. But... I do not know how it is called!

 ifconfig shows only the one adapter I had, called enp3s0.
 I remember some time ago I moved from human network names
 (i.e. eth0) to this and now I see the first disadvantage:
 while before I could guess new network name (probably eth1,
 eth2, etc), now I can not. I tried enp4s0, enp3s1,
 enp4s1 but I always get only No such device error.

 I checked gentoo-handbook but it works with those old  good
 network devices (eth0, eth1).

 So how can I find name of the new network adapter?

The overlay has reached it's EOL[1].

[1] http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-641342.html



I've read the thread, and now I'm even more confused.

- Where are the ex-xeffects ebuilds? arcon, desktop-effects or what?

- What is the difference between desktop-effects and xeffects? (Why
closing xeffects, if then the same people then open another overlay at
desktop-effects? I suppose *there has to be* a difference)
  
I'm pretty sure that jmbsvicetto retired from maintaining the overlay. 
The only difference I've seen is desktop-effects uses git.



- What's the best migration pathway? Is eliminating xeffects and adding
desktop-effects to layman enough, or more convoluted stuff is to be made?

  

That's all I did.

CFS and CFQ have NOTHING IN COMMON.

CFS is a TASK scheduler.

CFQ is a BLOCK IO scheduler.

Two completly different fields.

Please stop confusing this stuff, ok?

deadline/cfq/as is block IO stuff

cfs is about 'what app runs next' stuff.

What I want to know is, will my software, compiled with the above

Cause if it does, I may be able to compile a generic kernel set (using

I think cron can run jobs as root.

Re: [gentoo-user] aiglx USE flag and xorg 7.2: confusion with emerge -pv output about USE flags

2007-05-02 Thread Joshua Doll

Hi,
I'm currently using xorg 7.1 with AIGLX enabled and Beryl.

Yesterday night I did an emerge --sync  emerge -pv world and that's 
what I found (among others):


[ebuild U ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3 [1.1.1-r5] USE=dri ipv6 
nptl sdl xorg -3dfx -debug -dmx -kdrive -minimal -xprint (-aiglx%*) 
INPUT_DEVICES=aiptek joystick keyboard...


Notice the (-aiglx%*). man emerge says, about the use flag display 
syntax:


 [ebuild U ] sys-devel/distcc-2.16 [2.13-r1] USE=ipv6* -gtk -qt%
  Here  we  see  that  the make.conf variable USE affects 
how this package is built.  In this example,  ipv6  optional  support 
is enabled  and both gtk and qt support are disabled.  The asterisk 
following ipv6 indicates that ipv6 support was disabled the last   
time this packages was installed.  The percent sign following qt 
 indicates that the qt option has been added to the 
package since  it was last installed.


Now here I have the following situation:
- I have a functional AIGLX xorg-server
- I have the aiglx USE flag enabled in my make.conf (and also emerge 
--info confirms aiglx is enabled)


but Portage tells me that aiglx:
- was a USE flag of the previous version of xorg-xserver (true)
- it was disabled in the previous version (false, as far as I 
understand)

- is still disabled (false, AFAIU)
- it has been added only now to xorg-xserver (false, AFAIU)

What is that I don't understand?
Thanks,

m.
From what I understand Aiglx functionality was merged into the 
xorg-server package as of 7.2 and the aiglx use flag was no longer needed.


 24 Jan 2007; Donnie Berkholz [EMAIL PROTECTED];
 +xorg-server-1.2.0.ebuild:
 Bump. Upstream incorporated some version of all of our patches, so no more

I hope understood what you were asking and answered correctly.

Re: [gentoo-user] Setting installation directories globally

2007-05-01 Thread Joshua Doll

Would ROOT= in the emerge command work?

Hy everybody,

can you please tell me if there is some way to set the install directory
of an ebuild globally without changing the ebuild?
Let me clarify:
I want a few packages to not be merged under / directly but rather to be
located under /something/*.
I understand that the ebuilds contain directives of where to install the
files through src_install(). However I don't believe it would be a good
idea to edit ebuilds manually since it would lead to breakages during
emerge --sync.
So is there some file I can edit to change the install directory for a
certain package?
For example like setting
wireshark /wifi
firefox /stuff
baselayout /
(this is just a rough sketch of what I'm looking for.)

All help would be greatly appreciated!

Many Greetings
Paul

Re: [gentoo-user] Fwd: problem :eht0 not getting detected

2007-04-11 Thread Joshua Doll

what about ifconfig -a? I sometimes run into a problem where udev remaps the
ethernet device.

On 4/11/07, Richard Cox [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


Well specifically what kind of realtek ethernet card is it.  A quick count
in my kernel config showed 3 different drivers for realtek.  You might want
to try modprobing the other ones and see if that brings it up.
