Re: [gentoo-user] Re: adsl rp-pppoe - new baselayout problem
The old rp-pppoe init script works without problems on my up-to-date gentoo router. I prefer this way, too. Nobody needs the old init.d-script anymore. Perhaps we don´t need it, but we like to use it. The OP said he wanted to use the script. If he wants to use that, it´s his decision, isn´t it? Here are the advantages of using baselayout: - you can unmerge rp-pppoe I do not see any advantage in that. And: The net.example tells to emerge rp-pppoe [...] #- # ADSL # For ADSL support, emerge net-dialup/rp-pppoe # You should make the following settings and also put your [...] - the pppoe-plugin provided by pppd uses the kernel PPPoE-implementation which is much faster (but experimental though) Faster in what way? It surely does not speed up your adsl-connection and i don´t give a damn on that 2,5 seconds at 5 o´clock in the morning, that it takes to reconnect. - /etc/init.d/net.pppX is part of net, /etc/init.d/rp-pppoe is not (which is an advantage because of scripts that depends on net) I do not see an advantage in that, too. - ... more? This is the wrong word, i think something would be nice. But that is my point of view, others may have seen some advantages in that. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] ESD/esound hangs after a short time
Hallo. When I use an application which uses esound/esd to make noise, the output stops after a short period of time (~40 seconds) and esd then consumes about 100% CPU. I'm using a lousy 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) on my notebook. Any ideas about how I could debug that, so that sound works? I just tried Ubuntu 6.0.6 and there sound output works just fine - so it's not a (pure) hardware issue but rather a misconfiguration on my side.

Hello. When I use vlc to play music (like a MP3 file), the sound output (set to alsa) is rather jerky. Ie. it stops for a fraction of a second every 4 or 5 seconds. When I play the same file with xmms, all is fine. But I'd like to use vlc, as it plays audio streams like mms://a623.l672223087.c6722.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/623/6722/v0001/reflector:23087 just fine (or rather: used to play, as this jerky playback is a somewhat new misbehaviour).

[gentoo-user] Gentoo system crumbling, reports of gcc death
It started with a kalarm problem, proceeded to Gentoo dependency heck, and
has progressed to the point that I fear the destruction of my current Gentoo system.
(I do have a recent tar backup of my entire root filesystem).
Right now I'm fighting with 'glib'. Some things are calling for glib-1.2*, and that
just won't emerge because the ebuild (get this!) says gcc is incapable of making
an executable. Faking it with packages.provided won't work because the
dependencies actually use some of the glib stuff during their own ebuilds.
I am partly to blame, of course. I got frustrated with older ebuilds that were
causing some of the dependency trouble, and got carried away with
emerge --prune, which I guess is just as broken as it says it is.
Anyway, here's what needs that old glib:

I'm not sure that putting this in local.start is the right thing to
do. It basically means that the init scripts will never complete, so
your system is never 'fully' booted. It's mostly a semantic
difference, and I'm probably just being pedantic about it...

And: The net.example tells to emerge rp-pppoe [...] #- # ADSL # For ADSL support, emerge net-dialup/rp-pppoe # You should make the following settings and also put your [...] ... baselayout's rp-pppoe support that you just found. BTW: the way to use it, is simply: config_eth1=( adsl ) /etc/init.d/net.eth1 will then also start and stop rp-pppoe But you can also use baselayout's new PPP support that just needs the pppoe-plugin which comes with pppd itself. - the pppoe-plugin provided by pppd uses the kernel PPPoE-implementation which is much faster (but experimental though) Faster in what way? It surely does not speed up your adsl-connection and i don´t give a damn on that 2,5 seconds at 5 o´clock in the morning, that it takes to reconnect. Hmmm, well, it might give you - let's say - 1ms of ping-time or something like that. Anyway, IMHO it's the future way of using PPPoE if you use the kernel's PPPoE-Implemenation. No need for an additional user-mode rp-pppoe process. And no need for the IPC-overhead between the pppd-process and the rp-pppoe process. Some freaks may have used the async-mode instead of the sync-mode for the IPC between pppd and rp-pppoe. Well, the async-mode was also called faster but it also had the bug, that it might lock up. So the pppd's pppoe-plugin is the perfect way to get something fast and working. - ... more? This is the wrong word, i think something would be nice. But that is my point of view, others may have seen some advantages in that. Well, i'm not going to argue about what is an advantage, and what is not. It depends on the reader and i just tried to explain, what _might_ be seen as an advantage (actually i see advantages in those things i mentioned - though i don't care about the 1ms ping-improvement).

I use a separate runlevel, text, that has the same as default apart from X and a couple of others. Then I have a GRUB menu entry with softlevel=text Alternatively, you could remove xdm from the default runlevel while messing with this, or emerge fluxbox and choose that when logging in instead of KDE.

Well this is a bit confusing, because the command that configure uses
for the compiler test is:
${CC-cc} -o conftest${ac_exeext} $CFLAGS $CPPFLAGS $LDFLAGS
conftest.$ac_ext $LIBS
The ebuild only adds the -fPIC option, and the -Wl,-O1 -ldl-Wl,-O1
stuff doesn't show up anywhere in the glib sources. So the only place
that could come from is the environment...
We didn't check CPPFLAGS, do you have that set by chance?
What does locate config.site report? (or find / -name config.site
if you don't use slocate). It should come back with nothing...
Just for comparison, when I build glib-1.2, I get:
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -march=pentium4 -Os
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fweb -fPIC ) works... yes
and my CFLAGS are set to
CFLAGS=-march=pentium4 -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fweb
So you can see the ebuild adds -fPIC option, and nothing else should

If you break your system to the extent that you cannot emerge anything, such as accidentally unmerging Python, the way to get your system back is to unpack the package. This copies the same files that an emerge would, but skips the preinst/postinst stages of the merge and leaves the portage database thinking the package isn't installed. So after unpacking the archive and getting things working again, you should emerge the package normally to keep portage straight. -- Neil Bothwick And all the Borg left was this copy of Windows... signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] Raid and Gentoo
Hi, I've bought a computer, and it has the possibility of making a RAID. I configured it through the BIOS setup. I've booted up Gentoo live cd with dodmraid parameter, so the raid was placed in /dev/maer/whatever. After installing everything (stage3, stage1 failed for me here in ~amd64), I got to the critical point: GRUB. I've *NO IDEA* of how should I configure GRUB to detect my RAID. If you can help me I'd be very happy !! Because I wonder: How can I say to GRUB where the kernel is, if for reading the big hard disk it needs to have a module (or not), just the kernel loaded, but what grub does is load the kernel, so WHAT I HAVE TO DO ?

I am only working with small books and it is a pain to have to deal with layout. They use LaTeX. If you plan to write books/articles/whatever in publishing quality, THIS is the answer. LaTeX is awesome if you're not going to be diverging from the builtin document layout styles too much. If you are then you're likely going to be editing raw TeX to get things done, and unfortunately though TeX is very clean and very good at what it does it's not a language that's easy to understand. Some (more or less) alternatives to TeX are (some of which have ebuilds already): http://www.pragma-ade.com/ (ConTeXt) http://lout.sourceforge.net/ http://www.cliki.net/cl-typesetting http://www.it.usyd.edu.au/~jeff/nonpareil/ BTW, I'm kind of excited Thomas has decided to legacy teTeX.

Re: [gentoo-user] Hardware clock, software clock and ntpd
You might want to check out the following ntp.conf options depending on your network link - in particular the panic 0 option or the commandline version '-g' tinker panic 0 huffpuff 7200 The huffpuff value seems to help on a loaded broadband connection, and I found it a must on a modem. The panic value stops ntp from dropping out when too great a difference occurs between network and local time (your original problem I think) - it will step, whereas without it it will run, but refuse to update the time, or in some cases die.
