Get me a full packet capture of the entire ssh session, and I'll have a look at it. Install tcpdump if you don't have it: emerge tcpdump If you already have it or it's now installed, as root, just before you start the session: tcpdump -i dev -s 0 host IP and port PORT -w ssh-session-1.pcap where host is the IP you are connecting to, PORT is the port you're connecting to, and dev is the network interface it's going through (such as eth0). Log in, do your thing, and after the ssh session craps, ctl-c the tcpdump.

[gentoo-user] Status of Gentoo
I've been away from Gentoo for the last year or so and using Ubuntu but find that I want to return to Gentoo simply because of the level of customization that I can do with it. However, I do have a few worries - why has there been no 2007.1 release (there was a 2006.1 from what I recall)? There also appears to have been a bit of turmoil in the Gentoo 'management;' - has this affected the long term viability of running Gentoo? Also I'm not running at Athlon X2 system, ifs there any _real_ advantage to running AMD64 or should I still to x86?

There wasn't a 2007.1 release because there was so much changes to so many packages and things just never lined up stability wise so there could be one. That's my understanding of it anyway. It just seems there was always something blocking progress. I have read that 2008 should be out real soon. A couple weeks I think. May want to wait and install from that depending on your situation. http://www.gentoo.org/news/20080123_releng_beta.xml There also appears to have been a bit of turmoil in the Gentoo 'management;' - has this affected the long term viability of running Gentoo? The Foundation had some legal issues for a bit, long bit, which has been discussed on here and the forums at length but is either corrected now or in the process. I think it is corrected now but not 100% sure of that. Gentoo is very much alive and kicking tho. The tree and distro itself is humming right along. I see updates every day to packages so that is no worry. As far as I know, the tree has not slowed down at all.

Just a few questions before I plunge in to it again :-) you can find anonther to your question in the mailing list. this is an email chris brennan wrote some days ago: The problem is that we don't believe in tales about witches and premonition, do we? ;) I do, does that count? Some people call it yellow press (though in my country it would be translated to pink press :P. This gets kind of boring, because every two or three days a similar thread arises in the forum or here. Once a year I answer this kind of topic (I usually just silently ignore them). Bad press In general should just about do it. If in doubt, /. it first. If it's been /.'d, dig, if you can dig it. Something is afoot, and we all need to be paying attention :D Right now, gentoo is stronger than ever. Monthly newsletter works again, and they are better than ever. The legal issues with the foundation (about papers and bureaucracy) are all now solved and portage is maintained and updated everyday. I figure how a person that use gentoo can question these things... So I figure if any of the persons who open this kind of threads are really using Gentoo for anything else than installing it to be cooler. Gentoo is like a cult ... it can't easily be killed. Every generation has a mythology. Every millenium has a doomsday cult. Every legend gets the distortion knob wound up until the speaker melts. Archeologists at the University of Helsinki today uncovered what could be the earliest known writings from the Cult of Tux, a fanatical religious sect that flourished during the early Silicon Age, around the dawn of the third millenium AD... Gospel of Tux, Verse I No offense intended. As I said, this just gets boring after 1000 posts telling the same. It kind of seems like spam to me.

Dial-up user reporting in here. What is this feature you speak
of here? How does this work?
Instead of downloading the whole tarball of a new version of a
package, it downloads a delta between the latest old version and the
new version (kind of diff). It then produces the new tarball locally
from the old one and the delta.
Simply emerge deltup and add the following line to
your /etc/make.conf:
FETCHCOMMAND=/usr/bin/getdelta.sh \${URI}
It can reduce your downloads by up to 95% depending on how much the
new tarballs differs from the old one.
And now the downside:
1.
It doesn't help you when you emerge a new package for the first time.
2.
At times, it simply doesn't work. It will then fall back to
downloading the whole tarball.
Give it a try. If it doesn't suit you, you can simple delete the line
above from make.conf.

dns_servers_WLAN1=( 192.168.178.1 )

The key difference here is that you've defined variables for the SSID of the
network link, where I would have used (was using) the interface to which
that link is attached. /etc/conf.d/*.example don't make this clear at all.
Also, I have a handy little script which ... stops the net.wlan0
initscript, unloads the iwl module and reloads the module. The initscript
automatically restarts.
It doesn't restart automatically here.

Worst of it all, if I delete contacts in another client, say, aMSN, next time I launch Kopete: - the contact reappear in the Kopete list - if I then close Kopete and open aMSN, the contact I deleted *are indeed added again* to my MSN account!

[gentoo-user] no dma on parallel port
hello list, searching information that could help me solve the problem of my old HP laserjet 1100 printing too slow, i found something about dma and parallel port. i activated ECP on the bios, the address of the port is 378, irq 7 and dma 3. but dma is not activated when booting: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ dmesg | grep parp Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda1 vga=773 ro parport=0x378,7,3 parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7 [PCSPP(,...)] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/dma -1 i have the drivers compiled in the kernel, not as modules. i added this line in menu.lst: kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 vga=773 ro parport=0x378,7,3 not sure about the syntax, i couldn't find anything in the grub documentation about passing kernel parameters. anyway, i get no dma on parport0. i have an oldish soyo kt333 motherboard, and i tried this with different recent kernels (2.6.23 and 24) any help greatly appreciated. best, lj -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] what isn't required to boot a system/what can be trimmed from a backup
I'm messing around with doing backups via rsync to an external hard drive, and I'm wanting to be able to strip out unneeded files from the backup (these will be archived by, probably, dar or tar later on), and was wondering if someone knew what I could strip out. Thanks. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I just use mkstage4.sh which can be found on the forums.

KDE is can be emerged in two ways ‒ monolitic (big packages) and split (many small ones). This seems you have the monolitic one, so it will reemerge only one big instead of few small ones. I have 3.5 as monolithic and 4.0 meta. What concerns me is that adding xcomposite will not re-emerge anything from 4.0 - and there is where I need/want it.

[gentoo-user] X server locks up if a 3D game is run
Hello, I recently bought a new portable with an Intel GMA X3100, which I believe to be supported by the Intel driver. However, when I attempt to run many 3D games (tested with Savage and doomsday-1.9.0_beta5), X locks up and I am seemingly unable to switch VTs. According to its log, however, it had killed itself. Direct rendering worked out-of-the-box, however; glxgears functions normally with no lockups as well. In Windows, both Savage and Doomsday function normally. Since I didn't want to clutter this post, I put logs/configs on pastebin.ca. Xorg.0.log from the crash: http://pastebin.ca/939332 xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/939333 uname -r: 2.6.24.3 kernel .config: http://pastebin.ca/939334 Any help would be much appreciated. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
