Re: [gentoo-user] multilib vs. no-multilib in 64-bit environment
On Saturday 26 May 2007, Denis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote about '[gentoo-user] multilib vs. no-multilib in 64-bit environment': I think I'll attempt to set up one of my EM64T boxes in 64-bit Gentoo environment, so I've been reading some docs about it. *cough*AMD64*cough* I understand that the multilib profile allows for having 32-bit libraries and being able to run 32-bit binaries, Being able to run 32-bit binaries requires two things. x86_32 support in the kernel (which (no-)multilib doesn't affect) and all the libraries for the binaries being available in a 32-bit version, particularly ld.so and libc.so.6; multilib the multilib profile causes (not allows -- if you use multilib profile it is not optional) the most fundamental 32-bit libraries (like those required for *building* a 32-bit library) to be installed. whereas no-multilib restricts you to a purely 64-bit environment with no 32-bit compatibility. That's true as far as libraries go. (A fully statically linked 32-bit executable could still run if the kernel has support for x86_32.) What would be some of the reasons for setting up a no-multilib profile? Saves disk space and compilation time. Perhaps for a computational workstation that doesnt need any fancy toys or a development system? Very few F(L)OSS programs are unavailable in 64-bit land, so if your computer lives in the Free (Software) world you won't have problems no matter what you use the computer for. If you need/want proprietary binaries, multilib is the only way to go. Are any of you here running on a no-multilib 64-bit profile? Not I.

[gentoo-user] how to use another x server for opengl apps
Hi, I'm a happy aiglx+beryl user. There are a bunch of opengl apps (celestia, google earth, stellarium) that I'd want to use but do not play nice with beryl using opengl (e.g. stellarium has unreadable fonts). So I googled a bit and I found that you can bypass that simply by launching apps on another X server using xinit (xinit /usr/bin/stellarium -- :1). But if I do that the new xserver has not direct rendering (checked with glxinfo). Where can the problem be? m. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Suspend to swap on a diskless host
Hello AFAIK, I think you do not want to do that. First: You need to load the kernel from the swap, in the time it loads, you have no running kernel (well, there is a little part, but that one has no clue about network). Second: You do not want swap on nfs, since it is terribly slow, buggy, nfs can allocate memory to transfer data and you get a circular problem - to get a memory, you need to get a memory. And, what if your cat steps on the ethernet cable? Third: the suspend does not use swap as a swap, but as a part of a disc. You might try suspend to ram, thought. It should work on diskless machine as well as on any other. -- When all else fails, EAT!!! Michal 'vorner' Vaner pgpReAHrDjOnz.pgp Description: PGP signature

Make sure to configure the kernel so that it has basic sound support enabled (I would compile this into the kernel, not as a module, but that is me). Next, on the menu where you choose options, leave OSS unmarked, and select Alsa support. On the submenu for Alsa support, select everything that applies (Do select OSS Emulation, as some packages don't ASK which driver you are using, they just assume the one they want is there). If you select extra things here, it won't matter much. The extra items are just Midi drivers, and if you don't have Midi hardware, they aren't an issue either way. ^_^ In other words, on this screen it is safe to select pretty much everything. On the screen for PCI drivers, select the option(s) appropriate for your hardware. 'lspci' should show which sound card your system has. If you are using devfs, then the device nodes should be created automatically, if not then I am not sure how to create them manually in an old style system. It is possible, that you may need to manually chmod a+wr the device node in order use them (This is assuming they are there, which you said they were not I think).

Many of the items you want will be under /dev directly instead of /dev/sound These may be links to the /dev/sound items, but I am not sure. ^^;; More experienced people can probably tell you that. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] no audio
There is nothing shown with 'dmesg'? If you mean an error, no. Anyway, aren't you talking about the boot console? I've never seen anything about audio in dmesg, whether the audio is OK or not. So, if you mean an error in boot console, no. mw Luggage? GPS? Comic books? Check out fitting gifts for grads at Yahoo!

I wonder what the speed-up would be for those simulations if run under a 64-bit mode. Are there any requirements on how the simulations should be programmed in order to take advantage of the 64-bit arch, or is that automatically done by the GCC compiler and the kernel? Just use the -m64 flag when you compile using gcc. R -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Trying to mount a bad disk

I am trying to figure out if there is some way I can force the drive to mount on my system so that I can get some data off it for her. Not having much luck, would anyone have any tips as to how I might be able to make this happen? What happened when you tried to mount it (and is it formatted NTFS or FATXX)? If the disk has real errors (i.e bad sectors as opposed to software/windows problems), then app-forensics/autopsy might get the important user data off. Cheers Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] how to use another x server for opengl apps
I use an Nvidia card, and it will only let me use OpenGL on one single X session. Perhaps it is the same with Radeon... Check the docs. -- Fabio A. Correa D.

[gentoo-user] writing rules for non-existing nodes -- was no audio
Hi group, For a 2.6.19-r5 kernel, there is no /dev/sound and therefore no /dev/sound/audio, dsp, mixer etc. Almost certain that is why I get Failed to open sound device error when trying to run mp3blaster. The modules are loaded. Alsamixer works and card is unmuted. alsasound is started. Card is a SBLive. Module is snd-emu10k1. Path to driver is /sys/bus/pci/drivers/EMU10K1_Audigy. #udevinfo -a -p /sys/bus/pci/drivers/EMU10K1_Audigy ... looking at device '/bus/pic/drivers/EMU10K1_Audigy': KERNEL==EMU10K1_Audigy SUBSYSTEM==drivers DRIVER== and that's it. How do I write a rule for that? Please, if you're only guessing, at least read what I wrote. Maxim Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha!
