Re: [gentoo-user] KDE4 equivalent for kwifimanager-3.5
Mick wrote: Hi All, I would use kde-base/kwifimanager-3.5.10 every now and then to check networks, IP address, or strength of signal when I would not use iwconfig or iwlist. This will be removed soon, so what is the KDE4 equivalent? Suse has a kde4 version of knetworkmanager. I assume that this will appear in gentoo at some point. Otherwise you could give wicd a try. I found it very functional and useful! It is a service running in the background but has different programs to show available networks and configure. The ncurses useflag makes it build a cli client. And a GTK client is built in any case. cheers Thomas -- Thomas Kahle The fundamental theorem of algebra is open source.

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] In search of a good windowmanager
Hey, Since IceWM seems to be gone into hibernation phase I am looking for a replacement which should -- be widely configurable via ascii files -- be as far as possible controllable by keyboard -- be also useable with the mouse -- no eye-candy -- not ugly -- NOT tiling -- FAST! I would like to hear from others what experiences they made with what windowmanagers. Many people say fluxbox here, but you should also have a look at openbox (http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Main_Page) which is very similar but seems to integrate better into freedesktop.org standards. I use openbox because it gives me the speed and configurability of fluxbux while all the automagic things (suspend-keys, volume-keys, powermanagement, plasmoids, ...) that hal and kde4 bring still work. But maybe the latest version of fluxbox also does that..? I have not checked on it for a while. cheers Thomas -- Thomas Kahle The fundamental theorem of algebra is open source.

The message is encrypted on your computer and decrypted on the receivers computer. A drawback is that you have to handshake with each of the receivers first.

Re: [gentoo-user] What annoys you?
Wyatt Epp wrote: Greets, So while gearing up for the Summer of Code, I noted a lot of things that I had come to accept as normal that I feel should not be so. Things like the danger of depclean or the way portage will only show one mask at a time. So I was curious...what have people that are /not/ myself and my mate noticed that is mildly irritating and disruptive to the Gentoo experience? Two things, but I think there is not much you can do about it: 1) There are too many ebuilds in bugzilla which should either a) move on to the tree at some point, or if there is something wrong b) someone point to mistakes such that the contributing user can learn new things and do better next time. This fact is the most frustrating when you try to contribute things as a 'normal user'. On the other hand of course developers are not paid and no one can be forced to care for ebuilds that he or she does not find interesting... 2) Hidden dependencies. Especially Hardware related packages like hal/dbus/kernel/xorg/... always seemed to have hidden dependencies. It feels like this: All the latest versions of ~x86 work, and likewise all the latest stable versions work together, but if you try to mix them you trigger bugs and run into all sorts of trouble. Often it is also hard to find people able to reproduce the bug because devs mostly use the latest versions of everything. But I guess this is a general problem with a metadistribution. Just not every combination can be checked. Ok, so much for my 2c. Tom Cheers, Wyatt -- Thomas Kahle The fundamental theorem of algebra is open source.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, i just wanted to finish this as I found a solution and want it get archived in the list archive. If you experience power drain during hibernation check cat /sys/power/disk On my machine it was set to platform, wich means the bios takes care of everything. After installing a new harddrive into my machine this did not work anymore and there was a small but noticable power drain during hibernation. Setting it to shutdown (echo shutdown /sys/power/disk ) solved the problem for me.

Re: [gentoo-user] Linux, reiserfs and file fragmentation
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, my 2 cents: | So if for example I copied everything over to a different hard drive and | then copied everything back, it would be defragmented then? I think so yes, but still I would not do it as I think you will hardly notice the difference, but there is a good chance to screw things up. | I would think of something like this: | | Boot some live CD. | Mount old and backup drives. | Copy old drive to a backup drive using cp -av yada yada. Its very important to do this as root and preserve all the file permissions and symbolic links exactly as they are on the drive. In particular the backup file system must support all this. (You cannot backup to a FAT file system, etc.) the cp option -b could help, but surely you should read man cp and man mount | Make a new file system on the old drive to make sure all is clean. | Copy everything back over from the backup to the old drive using cp -av | yada yada. | | I would also take the opportunity to redo a few partitions while I was | able to.

It takes a long while and that drive is just a getting it. The | light just stays on while loading everything up. I personally think this is not due to fragmentation. On loading KDE just preloads some big libraries (it is a big program :) and this takes some time. Furthermore the libraries are loaded with LD_BIND_NOW=true, which makes the linker resolve all the symbols when KDE starts. (KDE takes longer to load, but later the programs are loaded faster). You can google for that to learn what it means.

Re: [gentoo-user] Linux, reiserfs and file fragmentation
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, just one more idea that came to my mind, reiserfs uses a technique to save small files in the filesystem tree which uses less disk space then. In ext3 a 1 byte file will take up 4k, while this is not the case in reiserfs. This yields a performace hit of about 5% (people say, not that i have measured anything) If you have enough free space you can disable this, make the small files consume more space again and gains some speed improvement. Another thing you could do is disable the writing of accesstimes. Read man mount how to do this. The mount options are noatime,notail. Concerning your observation I would start looking at how the fragmentation is measured. Maybe this also depends on the filesystem implementation in the kernel. Anyway: you can not get much better 1.043.. parts per file. This means that almost every file(96,12 % in your case) is contiguous. have fun | | | I did a little test. Something fishy here. I did a test with the /data | partition. I store pictures and documents there and it was fragmented. | I cp -av to another reiserfs formatted partition then remade the file | system and copied it back using basically the same command just in | reverse. This is what I got now: | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # /root/fragck.pl /data/ | 3.88457269700333% non contiguous files, 1.04344379261138 average fragments. | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # | | That is not a lot better than it was before. It was 4.6% before. How | is that? I copied it over then ran the command right after without even | touching the files. | Any ideas?

[gentoo-user] Power Drain during Suspend to Disk

[gentoo-user] Polymake Ebuild and general questions
Hi all,
I've written an ebuild for a math-software called polymake
(www.math.tu-berlin.de/polymake).
You find it attached. You have to digest it yourself to use.
(ebuild polymake-2.3.ebuild digest)
Maybe some people could test it (on amd64 for instance...).
Now some questions:
1.) The Program uses non-autotools self made configuration via make
configure. Currently the Ebuild will ask questions to the user, which I
want to prevent. How can i get around this?
Is there some Bash trick to answer all questions with Enter ?
2.) The program needs to be rebuild after an upgrade of dev-lang/perl.
How can i implement this in the ebuild ?
3.) Is there any chance that, after testing, this will land in the
portage tree ? How can I do this,
-email to dev-mailinglist?
-bugzilla ?
- ... ???
thanks
Tom

Re: [gentoo-user] No kernel boot after inserting more ram
