Re: [gentoo-user] Updating menu in KDE

Re: [gentoo-user] Random number generation
On Sunday 10 December 2006 01:37, Grant wrote: apache2 is taking a long time generating secret for digest authentication. Bryan suggested the following fixes a little while back: 1. Use a hardware RNG (random number generator), some chipsets provide that but you need to enable support in the kernel. 2. emerge apr with USE=urandom. This makes apr use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random. urandom isn't as strong cryptographically speaking as random but might be good enough for your use. 3. Disable digest authentication in the apache configuration. 4. Use some entropy gathering daemon like sys-apps/clrngd, media-sound/sound-entropyd or media-video/video-entropyd.

Re: [gentoo-user] Stop and continue emerge -e world
wouldnt say it is possible, unless u have hibernaton enabled, which probably is not in your case. besides emerge --resume only resumes not downloaded fully files from internet to be downloaded... Not so. emerge --resume restarts the previous emerge process, even after a reboot, exactly as Petr needs. I doubt the fact that some packages are compiled with one GCC and others with a different one is going to cause a problem, especially as you'll carry on with the recompiling after the reboot. Even if you don't reboot, your system will be running with a mixture of 3.3/3.4-compiled packages during the emerge. Ok, I'll give it a try. Thank you for quick answers.

Re: [gentoo-user] mount nfs thru mount system call
It's been about 4 years since I last had to do that (so no guarantees), but If I remember correctly the data argument for NFS is not just a string. Instead I believe that you have to do some other magic to encode the data correctly. I would recommend looking at the source code for mount and see what happens. IMHO it's easier to look at 'man 2 mount' : ... Values for the filesystemtype argument supported by the kernel are listed in /proc/filesystems (like minix, ext2, msdos, proc, nfs, iso9660 etc.). ...
