Re: [gentoo-user] Realtec 8111C LAN not detected...
I did one more test: I simply manually configured eth0 no matter there was no such an interface. And suddenly it is up and running! Problem must be somewhere in communication with dhcp-server (my router). at the start were you running ifconfig or ifconfig -a? Without -a it will only show interfaces that are up. So since you hadn't configured it at that stage you would not see it without the -a.

The machine in question is running kmail to receive/send messages from ISP mail servers and ssmtp to send log messages for relaying via said ISP. What have you tried and what would you recommend for such a desktop setup? I have to agree with most everyone else on this one. You don't really need a anit-virus software to protect yourself. I do think it is good that you want to protect others by catching them while on your machine and then you know not to spread them around to others who can be infected. I used to do this a long time ago but I have policies here about sending messages to others. Mostly, I don't do it unless I know it is virus free. If I get a video that is funny or something, I find it on youtube and just forward a link to that. I'm sure youtube checks its stuff to be sure it is clean. If you set up a process like this, you shouldn't spread anything but you do have to think before hitting forward too. I think people have figured out I don't forward just anything so I don't get a lot of junk anymore. I do agree on using AVG as someone else posted. I have that on my brothers XP box. He likes it better than Norton that he used to pay for. If you can get that running on Linux, then that would be great. Another pretty good one that I used to use was f-prot but I think AVG would be better still. Dale Is there an overlay that offers AVG or bitdefender? looks like - but I just run the bitdefender script to extract, than used dpkg --force-all to install. Works well so far. You can get a free personal use licence on their web site. I am getting confused ... Just looked at the ebuild for app-antivirus/bitdefender-scanner-7.6.4-r1 and it seems that the user has to fill in a form for an evaluation license only: http://www.bitdefender.com/site/Downloads/browseEvaluationVersion/2/80/ The free bitdefender only offers MSWindows downloads: http://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/free.html#System Requirements To use bitdefender for good on a *nix it seems that you have to pay ... :( Have I got this wrong? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-user] problem with pam
After I run e2fsck -c on /var partition.I have re-emerged pam. So I think there is something wrong with my hard disc. And there is still something Error and Warning on boot time,and after startx mouse can't move. So how to fix the hard disc now?

Are you by any chance trying to rescue your system by booting from an install cd? If so, make sure you use an amd64 ISO, and don't forget to chroot to your system installation. Unpacking Linux-PAM-1.1.5.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/pam-1.1.5/work tar: Linux-PAM-1.1.5/INSTALL: Cannot open: Invalid argument tar: Linux-PAM-1.1.5/ABOUT-NLS: Cannot open: Invalid argument I think this is the real problem. Whatever is causing this also has probably something to do with your openrc issues. What kind of filesystem is your /var/tmp/portage directory on? Is it free of errors? Is there any free space left? Can you create a new file on it? Try # echo test /var/tmp/portage/test andrea

It may be a disk problem, or a memory problem. To check for the former you better install smartmontools and run the necessary tests (look at the man page and google for details). To check the latter you can run memtest86+ from a LiveCD overnight, or for a few hours. And there is still something Error and Warning on boot time,and after startx mouse can't move. So how to fix the hard disc now? You cannot fix a hard disk. If it is broken you better replace it before it breaks completely. You can fix a file system (if you're lucky) or the installation on it. You've already run the e2fsck command, so there's not much more you can do to fix the fs. All that is left is to reinstall the OS: emerge -eDNva world Of course you would not need to do this, if you had a back up?

Did badblocks identify any specific problems? A failing hard disk generally shows very obvious symptoms (noises, periodic system lockups due to read retries, I/O errors in the kernel log) before getting to the point of causing the widespread filesystem corruption you seem to be experiencing. Ext4 is generally quite resilient even when handled roughly, so I would tend to suspect a memory issue. That's just a guess, though, since you didn't provide much information. something Error and Warning on boot time,and after startx mouse can't move. So how to fix the hard disc now? As Mick said, you don't fix a hard disk, you try to salvage whatever is on it and then you go for a replacement. However, your first priority should be to rule out memory issues: doing any kind of data recovery operation on a machine with defective memory is a recipe for disaster. andrea
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Hard drive RPMs and data speed.
Lots of HDD RPMs and company suggestions, but to the point... My two cents are: ESATA. I have multi TB external disks which I have physics data stored on and needs to be analyzed. USB might be as fast (in the best case), but it uses processor overhead. Not that a lot of machines support that kind of input. I picked up a decent laptop for cheap that also supports ESATA. I didn't do benchmarks or anything, but it's really insane IMO. ~daid PS Sorry I deleted all the reply text. I didn't want to copy/paste individual references to different company external drives and so on, just to not really care. Mine is something by Buffalo, but I care because it has ESATA. PPS Or you could be my friends using USB formated NTFS and I can use top to see how much processor power is used by ntfs-3g just to read the data. Ugh!
Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] How fast was ... ?
Thank you very much for any nice idea, story or of course comparison in advance!i :) Well, I still have a TI-86 calculator with a Z80 processor. Of course, even these are extremely mocked these days (eg http://xkcd.com/768/) My best friend in high school had programmer parents, and lots of computer magazines from the 80s. I know we found some computer with a Z80 processor from 1980 for $2000. I bought my calculator in 1998 for about $100. Using a random inflation calculator, the same computer would have cost $4000 at that time. Who knows about specs and other stuff, but you said you wanted stories, not science. ~daid PS Actually my calculator is MIA right now. Maybe I left it in the US or Canada...or it's packed in some bag in Japan? Whatever people can say, I miss my calculator.
