Re: [gentoo-user] connections
Hi! My first post here, so bare with me. You would want to check the variable $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin'; in config.inc.php in phpmyadmin's dir. If that points to localhost, your browser / server will direct you there.

[gentoo-user] USB2 versus USB1.x
Hi, * .* I have a small problem with usb in my laptop. First I had all 3 HCD compiled in my kernel: ehci, ohci and uhci. When I connected some usb 2.0 device (hard drive or external DVD burner), there was a message in /var/log/everything/current that device is not running at full speed and that I should connect it to a faster hub and it was using ohci. I tried all four ports I have and it was the same. I tested the device (that is a hard-drive) with hdparm -tT /dev/sda and it gave about 900 kbyte/s, which is something like usb 1.x. Then I recompiled my kernel with ehci only. Now there is no such message, the same device is using ehci and when I test it, it gives more than 20 Mbytes/s, which must be USB 2.0, as I want. The problem is: why when I have compiled ohci also, the device does not work as USB 2.0? I could work with ehci only, but the problem is that now my usb mouse is not working (it is not usb 2.0). I read the help to all selections in kernel config under USB support. There is no thing like select fastest driver... They say that it is no harm to select all HCDs... This is the relevant part of the output from lspci -v: :00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc OHCI USB Controller #1 (rev 01) (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI]: Unknown device 0052 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at d8001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] :00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc OHCI USB Controller #2 (rev 01) (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI]: Unknown device 0052 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at d8002000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] :00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc EHCI USB Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 20 [EHCI]) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI]: Unknown device 0052 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 19 Memory at d8003000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2 I also came to idea that maybe the first device I connect is determining the speed for all ports (the first is also USB1.x mouse). So I disconnected the mouse and plugged the USB2 devices first, but no difference. Yesterday I updated my kernel to 2.6.12-gentoo-r10, but it is the same. Any clues?

i did read that document, to find the doc is trivial. what i got is just similar. the udev just create the device files which were detected by kernel, and handle the operations like add or remove dynamically. i tried this feature with my usb devices already, i really like the way udev works. i could not found any info from the output of dmesg, so i think perhaps there is a problem on detecting the device, but not the problem of udev. thanks daniel On Sat, Sep 03, 2005 at 08:40:20AM -0500, John Jolet wrote: On Saturday 03 September 2005 08:20, Matt Randolph wrote: Alex Korshunov wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, Sep 03, 2005 at 08:32:56PM +0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: no error on reboot now, but i will try to switch to windows to see if the cdrom works well All my cdroms in /dev/cdroms/cdrom.

Did you (the OP) verify that the drive is still detected by the BIOS? having done some research yesterday on udev, specifically the gentoo udev howto, it was my understanding that udev did NOT create node files. those must exist and udev just manages the mappings to those files. that's what the tar/untar process on shutdown/boot takes care of. devfs, on the other hand DID take care of those files. the gentoo udev howto specifically gives a walkthrough on the steps necessary to switch from a hybrid udev/devfs system to a pure udev system. Have you looked at that document?

[gentoo-user] localization
Hi, I would like to know which is the right locale setting for compiling e.g. KDE and Mozilla in my own language. Mozilla is a good example, because in an earlier version all labels and everything else was in my home language. This is what I already have set in my environment: I18N=pt_BR LANG=pt_BR LANGUAGE=pt_BR LC_ALL=pt_BR LINGUA=pt_BR LINGUAS=pt_BR LOCALE=pt_BR By the way, OpenOffice is currently in my home language and WindowMaker has mixed english and brazillian portuguese texts.

[gentoo-user] Xorg fails to start
Hello,
Well, an intel based portable with a radeon 9000 was working fine
with a 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 kernel until this morning. X(kdm) would
not start. I logged in (console) and entered 'startx' and got something
very strange:
First I had to comment out the { Load speedo } line, then the next
problem was(/var/log/Xorg.0.log):
'Symbol drmGetClient from module
/usr/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o is unresolved'
I also get:
(**) Keyboard1: CustomKeycodes disabled
(WW) No core pointer registered
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device Keyboard1 (type: KEYBOARD)
No core pointer
Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices
Checking /etc/X11/xorg.conf it is otherwise as it was
(except for speedo) commented out in the fonts section.
I did a emerge -uD world yesterday.
I tried the older
2.6.gentoo-r4 kernel, which worked fine for weeks
and it gives the same problem, with identical results.
I rebuilt the 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 kernel with radeon

[gentoo-user] emerge toggling arts, kdelibs, kwin between 3.4.1 and 3.4.2
Howdy, I have my system set up to sync every night then send me a notification message. I then examine what has changed and decide when to do the emerge. For the past week, emerge -uDNv world has been toggling arts, kdelibs, and kwin. What I mean is that if 3.4.1 is installed then it upgrades to 3.4.2 (which is as expected since I have these in my package.keywords file). The problem seems to be that when 3.4.2 is installed, emerge wants to downgrade them to 3.4.1. This doesn't make sense to me. I'm also at a loss on how to troubleshoot this.

Think that when going to 3.4.2 it's a simple upgrade as this is the latest version, but the Downgrade is due to some installed package which depends on =3.4.1-rX and consequently requires a downgrade (see which one using --tree).

Re: [gentoo-user] cpu flags / USE flags / compiler flags
Thanks Walter. That description verifies my guess and gives me a reason to continue looking at the issue. I appreciate your help.

On this machine I chose mmx, sse sse2. Armed with that I changed my make.conf file to look like this: There are CPU flags and there are USE flags. Some of them have the same names, and that may confuse you. It works like this... 1) Get a listing of your cpu's flags in /proc/cpuinfo 2) Check against the list of supported flags in gcc for you cpu, and add them to CFLAGS 3) Check http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml for a list of valid USE flags, and include any that show up in /proc/cpuinfo 4) Repeat step 3) with /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc for any programs you're emerging. There doesn't seem to be anything special on your pentium4, but my AMD64 not only has mmx and 3dnow, it also has mmxext and 3dnowext. mplayer can take advantage of them. I include them in the /etc/portage/package.use entry for media-video/mplayer. I'll assume that you're using gcc 3.3.5. In that case, the place to look for CPU flag options is... http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3.5/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html#i386-and-x86_002d64-Options That list shows pentium4, mmx, sse, and sse2. Also, if you have *ANY* version of sse available, you can improve performance by running floating point math via sse, rather than 387 instructions. I recommend...

WindowsXP works with them just perfectly, and it's ok on my gentoo box before the udev comes out maybe. i remember... many thanks daniel On Sat, Sep 03, 2005 at 06:45:21PM +0100, Daniel Drake wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i alway build it into kernel, i already checked my config file, the BLK_DEV_IDECD=y is just there.
