[gentoo-user] Limit emerge's wget bandwidth usage
Is there any way I can configure (pass arguments to) emerge's wget (used for fetching) to limit it's rate to a certain amount of KB/s? I don't want to make a global/system-wide change, just for portage. I did find a way to limit the bandwidth while syncing. All I had to do was to put this on my /etc/make.conf: PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS=--partial --progress --delete-after --human-readable --bwlimit=50 (for instance). I do know there is parameter for wget, which is --limitrate. Any way I could set this inside portage?

[gentoo-user] Problems installing Gentoo on an Asus EeePC 701
Hello folks. I have an Asus EeePC 701 (4GB) and I'm having problems installing Gentoo on it, so I wrote this giant e-mail to help you understand what is going on and what I have done and can't do. I have been using Gentoo for a while, so I am pretty comfortable on installing it and configuring it. Disks on my Eee: Internal Flash (4GB): /dev/sda1 - Ubuntu 8.04 (blergh, not for long) :-) SD Card (8GB): /dev/sdb1 - Gentoo 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 The Gentoo system is ready. I mean, it is still text-mode only, but I have some ideas about the other stuff to be installed, continue reading, please. :-) The problem is that I just can't boot the system. At first, I thought I had forgotten something when configuring the kernel. But I gave up that idea since me and a friend of mine re-checked it many times. I have installed Gentoo's grub on the MBR of /dev/sda, since I intend to remove Ubuntu later. The kernel hangs because it can't find /dev/sdb1 [1]. The system I consider a minimum usable text-mode system is already installed, configured and even up-to-date. I have tried a lot of different things. I tried booting Gentoo using the Ubuntu kernel. Sound reasonable, but Ubuntu's initrd (which later I realized is the one that recognizes my disks) already mount /proc and when Gentoo's RC comes up it oops because of /proc [2]. Since booting Ubuntu's kernel is just temporary, I won't edit the init.d script that mounts /proc on Gentoo. Anyway. By-the-way, something that is worth mentioning. When booting Ubuntu's kernel, it sometimes (not always) hangs at this point [3]. It stays there for four to five MINUTES, sometimes. But some other times is just goes straight. Even when hanging there for a while, it always passed that and boots the system. Also happens when trying to boot Gentoo with Ubuntu's kernel. I have done tons of online research, but what I found is people that successfully installed Gentoo on the EeePC. I've read and bookmarked these links [4] [5] just in case, but so far they didn't help me at all. [1]: http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/~saffi/eee/Gentoo-Kernel_Gentoo.jpg [2]: http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/~saffi/eee/Gentoo-Kernel_Ubuntu.jpg [3]: http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/~saffi/eee/Gentoo-Kernel_Ubuntu2.jpg [4]: http://www.gentoo-wiki.com/Asus_Eee_PC_701 [5]: http://www.floccinaucinihilipilification.net/wiki/index.php/Gentoo_on_the_EEE_Pc I have ideas about installing the graphical system and other stuff later. I intend to share the ideas and will as soon as my basic system boots. Anyway, thanks in advance for any help!

[gentoo-user] Gentoo Bug Day
Just as a reminder: http://www.gentoo.org/news/20080701-bugday.xml What: Gentoo contributors get together to help each other fix bugs Where: irc.freenode.net, #gentoo-bugs When: Saturday, July 5, in a timezone near you What do you need to bring? * A Gentoo system, an Internet connection and an IRC client * Your bug. If you don't have one, we will find you one to suit your area of interest and your skills * Your favorite editor * A way to test that your bug is fixed (asking people counts!) * You don't need to know C, C++, or bash What's a bug? Gentoo's way of tracking change requests. A change request can be anything from I've found a typo in foo to I've built this really useful program called bar but there's no ebuild for it. Bugs have various levels of helpfulness, from identifying the existence of a problem to localizing the problem to providing the patch to fix it. There are bugs in documentation such as man pages as well as ebuilds and the source code that Gentoo distributes. These bugs are problem reports. Bugs for things Gentoo doesn't do yet but you think should be done are feature requests. Bugday is more about fixing problems than adding features, but you won't be turned away if you want help with a new feature. Want to know more about Bugday? It's held on the first Saturday of every month. It's an opportunity for everyone to contribute to making Gentoo better, and eventually you might even become a Gentoo developer. See the Bugday project page for more details. Bugday is about community spirit. Gentoo is a community—there is no me and them, there is only we, so instead of lobbying for them to fix your particular bug, work together to fix it! Bugday is an opportunity to get help to help yourself. If you've been wanting to get involved but weren't sure how, Bugday is a great way for you to see what goes on in making a distribution and get involved in Gentoo. -- Ricardo Saffi Marques http://www.rsaffi.com == Laboratory of System Administration and Security - LAS Institute of Computing - IC P.O.

Re: [gentoo-user] switching CPU's -- what strange things do I need?
Well, I'd change my CFLAGS, for sure, so that I'd get all the benefits of
having that better processor. What's your profile: x86 or x86_64 (amd64)?
For your processor, according to http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags (that I
always like to check):
Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad / Xeon 51xx/53xx
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 15
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU @ XXXGHz
*32 bit profile (x86)*
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CFLAGS=-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
*64 bit profile (amd64)*
CHOST=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
CFLAGS=-march=nocona -O2 -pipe
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
*Note:*
- GCC 4.3 has
-march=core2[1]http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-4.3/changes.html,
but Gentoo has nothing above 4.2 in portage.
So, I'd change my make.conf to one of those (again, depending of your
profile). And after that, even though some things may need a revdep-rebuild
and it may take a while, why not emerge -e world?
Regards,
Saffi

When I tried to turn off bash_completion by not invoking it when a shell opens (and it didn't work) I had an insight. :-) My $HOME/.bash_profile makes theese two calls: [[ -f $HOME/.bashrc ]] . $HOME/.bashrc [[ -f /etc/bash_completion ]] source /etc/bash_completion My $HOME/.bashrc, among other things (regular ones), calls a script I have with many (many many) aliases and mods for my shells. So this is my .bashrc: [[ -f $HOME/.loginscript ]] source $HOME/.loginscript When I decided to comment the above call to $HOME/.loginscript, everything worked ok. No more memory leak problems, no more weird shell command interpretation. Everything started to work Super (as Al Pacino would say in Scent of a Woman). :-) What do I have inside .loginscript? Here it is: #! /bin/bash #PS1='\[\033[01;[EMAIL PROTECTED];34m\] \w \$\[\033[00m\] ' DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d) alias up=cd .. alias sshic='ssh -Cl ra037415 xaveco.lab.ic.unicamp.br' alias sshquasar='ssh -Cl saffi quasar.las.ic.unicamp.br' alias sshquasarroot='ssh -Cl root quasar.las.ic.unicamp.br' alias sshbackup='ssh -Cl root backup.las' alias sshargonath='ssh -Cl saffi argonath.las.ic.unicamp.br' alias sshargonathroot='ssh -Cl root argonath.las.ic.unicamp.br' alias sshpulsar='ssh -Cl root pulsar.itautec.inovasoft.unicamp.br' alias sshdeathstar='ssh -Cl root deathstar.itautec.inovasoft.unicamp.br' alias sshhaya='ssh -Cl saffi hayabusa.las' alias ssheagle='ssh -Cl saffi saffi.homeip.net' alias ssheagleroot='ssh -Cl root saffi.homeip.net' alias spy='echo -e Last refresh: $(date +%r) ; echo; finger; echo; w; echo; tty ; echo' alias usage='echo ; echo -en \a$USER disk usage is of ; du -sh ~; echo;' alias ls='ls -F --color=auto' alias ll='ls -lh' alias llr='ll -R' alias lla='ll -a' alias can='cat -n' alias myproc='ps -u $USER' alias showM='du -h . 2 /dev/null | grep [0-9].[0-9]M | sort' alias showK='du -h . 2 /dev/null | grep [1-9][0-9][0-9]K | sort' alias resume='screen -r' alias stop='screen -d' alias steal='screen -dr' alias share='screen -x' alias list='screen -ls' alias improve='vim ~/.loginscript' alias quasartunnel='ssh -D 5000 -Cl saffi quasar.las.ic.unicamp.br' # Disable console messaging mesg n # Allow a larger console history HISTSIZE=3840 HISTFILESIZE=524288 HISTTIMEFORMAT=%F %T Again: I already do this with other computers I work with and never had a problem with such thing. Two funny things: the very same sequence os scripts runs when I login with my local user (rsaffi). No problem, just with root. Another funny thing: after commenting the [[ -f $HOME/.loginscript ]] source $HOME/.loginscript from the .bashrc file, the problem was gone. Then, after I log in, I ran: source ~/.loginscript and had no problem. That's weird. Anyway, I appreciate your help, guys. Thanks for all the patience and tips.

[gentoo-user] Introduction (new member) and first ask-for-help... :-)
Hello fellows. I'm new to the mailling list, though I'm not really new to linux nor Gentoo. I'm a 21 year old Brazilian and I'm currently being trained by the actual admin of the lab I work (see signature) to become the new admin. The lab (www.las.ic.unicamp.br) hosts a project named Tutoo, which is a Gentoo-based distribution. We're also Gentoo official-mirror. My first question is whether any of you can please help me with this issue: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4347959.html I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.
