On Sunday 02 April 2006 21:06, Sven Köhler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote about '[gentoo-user] traffic shaping': Is there any application or script that is easy to configure and does all the necessary things to shape my DSL traffic? Not at this time. However, it's actually fairly easy to throw something together with HTB that works fairly well. If you are only matching on protocol (TCP or UDP) and (source or destination) (IP or port) a custom iproute2 script will not be that hard. tc qdisc created your root HTB(s); tc class creates your child/sibling HTBs [classes under the same qdisc can swap bandwidth]; tc filter decides what classes receive packets. Hit the TLDP Advanced Routing HOWTO and just hit the parts about HTB and tc filter. Then, go to the HTB site and read the user documentation there. Then come back and read the tc filter stuff again -- expect to learn a little to a lot about how a packet looks be it IP, TCP, or UDP. Write some scripts and experiment, you won't get it perfect the first time but after a little bit of work you'll find your browsing experience much better. Your filtering policies won't match mine, so it's hard to give a single script. I find it works best to load up your connection then start experimenting with a network monitor in another window -- you'll be able to see changes quickly and (at least with HTB) you won't drop packets just because you were changing settings. When it comes down to it, if you are killing your upstream /something/ is going to suffer, tc just lets you put the pain where you want it; if you regularly saturate your upstream, buy fatter pipes. TC WILL NOT HELP AN OVERLOADED DOWNSTREAM since it has no control over what packets are sent to you. If your requirements are fairly simple, send it my way and I'll try to write out a script for you; I know I need more practice. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgphbrh6s5wQc.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] every second rightclick in KDE: the context menu does not stay
Hi, Does anyone else see this? Upon rightclicking in most KDE apps, a context menu appears; but when moving the mouse a bit (away from the menu) and rightclicking again, the context menu appears just shortly: it blinks and stays away. That is... except when rightclicking near the bottom or right edge. Then the menu stays put on every rightclick -- when the menu does not appear to the lower right of the mouse pointer, but to the left or above it, then it always stays put. This happens in most KDE apps (Konqueror, KMail, Konversation, Kate, ...), but does not happen in KWrite, nor on the desktop itself. (In KMail it happens in the message list and the preview pane, but not in the folder list or the composer window.) Anyone else seeing this? Just to make sure I'm not having a subtly broken system.

Re: [gentoo-user] every second rightclick in KDE: the context menu does not stay
On Monday 03 April 2006 22:22, Benno Schulenberg wrote: Hi, Does anyone else see this? Upon rightclicking in most KDE apps, a context menu appears; but when moving the mouse a bit (away from the menu) and rightclicking again, the context menu appears just shortly: it blinks and stays away. That is... except when rightclicking near the bottom or right edge. Then the menu stays put on every rightclick -- when the menu does not appear to the lower right of the mouse pointer, but to the left or above it, then it always stays put. This happens in most KDE apps (Konqueror, KMail, Konversation, Kate, ...), but does not happen in KWrite, nor on the desktop itself. (In KMail it happens in the message list and the preview pane, but not in the folder list or the composer window.) Anyone else seeing this? Just to make sure I'm not having a subtly broken system. yepp, see the same - easy workaround: don't release the right mouse button.. as long as you are holding it, the menu will stay. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] CPUFREQ and 2.6.16
I depend on cpufreq to help stretch out the battery life of my laptop and it works quite well with 2.6.15.x kernels. However, upgrading to 2.6.16.x renders cpufreq dead in the water. The boot complaint is, the start up script says I need to configure the kernel for cpufreq support even though it already is... Even trying to start cpufreq from the command line fails... Has anyone else seen this ? Does anyone know of a fix? The cpufreq website ate sourceforge.net is pretty much orphaned and there's nothing at bugs.gentoo.org either... Any help would be appreicated. Thank you, in advance. Jerry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] gcc question

There is a reason that opera provides separate downloads for systems with libstdc++.so.5 and .6. Try searching their forums. So would it not be a good idea for portage to install the appropriate version depending on whether the 'main' libstdc++ is so.5 or so.6? I believe so, yes. If it ever does anything strange, I would probably do a portage overlay with a modified ebuild that pulls the .6 version, and see if that resolves the problem. If so, file a bug report. But please do not file a bug report that says 'opera ebuild should pull the version that matches system gcc because Richard says so...'. :-) -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] kernel and harware
On 4/3/06, Martins Steinbergs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi, i'm curios where to find what hardware each kernel version supports, I have always found lwn (www.lwn.net) to have very good coverage of the changes between kernel versions. I'm not aware of any comprehensive list of supported hardware. Various attempts at this have been attempted over the years, with varying degrees of success. The most reliable is to plow through the menuconfig/xconfig options. from my experience building 2.6.16 kernel series i know ati-drivers doesnt work. is it somewere documented? Out-of-tree drivers can be expected to break when updating kernels. It doesn't happen every kernel release, but it will happen. If it is open source, there should be an update to the driver pretty quickly. If it is a proprietary driver, you usually have to wait for the vendor to make an update. If you want to run bleeding-edge kernels, you might want to accept ~x86 for any out-of-tree drivers. for example i have peace of scanner that isnt supported by sane and i see that in sane homepage. Is there some links to kernel or ati documents where keep track? lwn and the linux forums at www.rage3d.net. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
