Is ECC memory a drop-in replacement for ordinary RAM, or does it need a special motherboard? yeah, requires a motherboard that supports ECC ram. Big was my surprise to learn that our old Pentium 3 PC from 1999 has ECC support in its three RAM sockets. The problem today is the artificial paritioning of the market. It seems nigh impossible (at least in the Intel world, please correct me regarding AMD) to have ECC RAM in a normal Home PC these days, especially in an ITX form factor, as I am currently investigating. There are Xeons for the 1150 “consumer socket”, but ECC is only supported by server chipsets such as the C series. Those come either on ITX boards with abysmal I/O capabilities for home use or on high-power workstation ATX boards that cost a small fortune. *sigh* I would have liked the aspect of a system that tells me when something goes wrong, but there seems no such thing for my requirements. So I must help myself with file checksums when dealing with my archive disks. Unfortunately, I think it would be difficult finding a home-user board with ECC support. since, nowadays appears ECC is mostly for systems where data corruption is unacceptable, such a bank,etc

I'm planing on installing Gentoo on a few systems and I was wondering to save bandwidth, i could install portage to the other Gentoo installs from my system instead downloading from mirrors? Thanks in advance! Setting up a local rsync mirror for a portage tree is fairly simple, you share the working tree at /usr/portage on a local server to the network and make sure the server is up-to-date before syncing other clients to it. This is documented in [1]. After setting up the mirror, you only need to sync-uri in /etc/portage/repos.conf on the other (local) clients. See portage(5)[2], section 'repos.conf' and make.conf(5)[3], section 'SYNC' for details on client configuration. Please *do* read those sections, as much of the information on the wiki regarding the SYNC variable is outdated. For sharing distfiles between hosts, a http server sharing the distfiles folder and prepending the server's uri to GENTOO_MIRRORS in make.conf[3] might be sufficient for your needs. If the installs are not homogenous, you can even set up http servers on all of them, and add all the other local hosts to GENTOO_MIRRORS. You might want to skim through the FEATURES section in make.conf(5)[3] for using local distfiles mirrors, as some of them can improve the usefulness of the mirror significantly. NFS is another possibility for both portage tree and distfiles and can reduce total disk space needs, but it incurs significant network latency which is especially noticeable for portage trees. I use it myself for virtual machines, but would not suggest it for use over a physical network. Also note that portage has PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS[3] as an alternative to GENTOO_MIRRORS for eg. read-only *mounted* network shares which may provide some extra flexibility. 1: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Infrastructure/Rsync#Setting_up_your_own_local_rsync_mirror 2: https://dev.gentoo.org/~zmedico/portage/doc/man/portage.5.html 3: https://dev.gentoo.org/~zmedico/portage/doc/man/make.conf.5.html Thank you for suppling great lesson and links.

Come check my inbox sometime, any given mail stands a 1 in 3 chance of being answered at all :-) I see earlier in the thread someone mentioned sharing the portage tree over NFS. Now this is by far the best solution of all in terms of outright performance; but be warned up front - there are pitfalls. NFS is nothing like setting up a Windows share, and there's nothing about it that just magically works. Folks new to Linux often have heaps of trouble with it (mostly because NFS assumes you are going to do a whole lot of heavy lifting yourself and you have already dealt with the tricky issue of keeping user accounts in sync, and permission woes). So by all means use NFS, just know upfront the learning curve is steepish, and the good folks on this list can give tons of good advice as well as get you through the arcane basics :-) Thank you for this valuable advice. I have been doing some research using bing and google and I found some howtos,docs setting up NFS portage. hope they work. thanks again -- Learing Linux with Gentoo to earn LPIC1.

I've tried python2.7 and 3.2 make no difference. I am wondering if the issue your system is having is related to one of the following: - 2012-11-06-PYTHON_TARGETS-deployment Title PYTHON_TARGETS deployment AuthorMichał Górny mgo...@gentoo.org Posted2012-11-06 Revision 1 Recently, a few new Python eclasses have been deployed. As ebuilds migrate, the way they support multiple Python implementations will change. The previous method built Python modules for Python implementations selected through `eselect python'. The new method uses the PYTHON_TARGETS USE flags to explicitly name the implementations the modules shall be built for. If you are running a modern system with only Python 2.7 3.2 installed, then you don't have to do anything. The defaults will simply fit you, and let you keep your system up-to-date when new Python versions are deployed. However, if you'd like to use another set of Python implementations, you will need to set PYTHON_TARGETS in your make.conf file appropriately. This variable names the enabled implementations in the standard way common to all USE_EXPAND variables. For example, a setup enabling all major Python implementations would look like: PYTHON_TARGETS=python2_7 python3_2 pypy1_9 jython2_5 The variable should list all Python implementations which are going to be used on the system; missing a particular value there will result in missing Python modules. A complete list of all possible values can be obtained using a command equivalent to the following: emerge -1pv dev-python/python-exec For more details, please see the python-r1 User's Guide [1]. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/python-r1/user-guide.xml -- 2013-11-07-python-exec-package-move Title python-exec package move AuthorMichał Górny mgo...@gentoo.org Posted2013-11-07 Revision 1 Due to the recent issues which caused dev-python/python-exec:0 to be removed prematurely [1], we had to perform an urgent package move. Since we could not use the automatic updates support in portage, users will notice two python-exec packages and possibly blockers. Currently, dev-lang/python-exec is the real package that contains python-exec and that will be used in the future. dev-python/python-exec is a virtual package that is kept for compatibility with dependencies in already-installed packages. In the most favorable scenario, the package will be upgraded correctly on your next world update if you use the '--deep' (-D) and '--update' (-u) options. If you don't want to perform a complete world update or if it fails for you, you may as well manually upgrade dev-python/python-exec: emerge -1 dev-python/python-exec This will cause portage to update both python-exec packages and resolve the blockers properly. Please note that if you have applied any kind of package-specific modifications to dev-python/python-exec (such as applying keywords through 'package.accept_keywords'), you will need to copy them to dev-lang/python-exec as well. If you have applied keywords to dev-python/python-exec in order to unmask Python 3.3 on a stable system, please consider removing the keywords and reading our wiki page that explains how to properly unmask USE flags [2]. We apologize for all the inconveniences. If you have any more issues with python-exec, please do not hesitate to contact as at #gentoo-python IRC channel (@freenode) or the gentoo-pyt...@lists.gentoo.org mailing list.

Since I only use lxde as my DE and I don't have anything from KDE installed, I was getting little confuse,as to why those media-libs were needed, but now with these two replies I received. it is making more sense. So basically kmail needs media-libs that KDE uses so it can play sound notifications, even though i'm using another DE instead of KDE? Kmail does not play anything inside messages. When you click on an attachment it will ask you to save it or open it with the default application, depending on the mime type of the attachment. Now i know, thanks.

Yes. If you were using KDE, all of those dependencies would already be in place for desktop notifications. It beats me why anyone would want to use KMail on KDE, let alone with any other DE. Thanks for confirming I'm on the right track. I 'm glad that I finally understood it from the kind help I received in all the replies. I saw kmail mentioned somewhere and i got curious about it, but after i noticed the depends it was pulling i lost that curiosity. I'm sticking to claws-mail.

Perhaps because a lot of software nowadays attempts to do everything at once. Maybe it plays sound attachments inside of the client. Now after you mention it, I agree. I only send text emails I get the following media-libs when i execute emerge -a kmail: [snip] I recommend that you use the ‘-t’ portage flag in the future to see what pulls in what. I also recommend ‘-v’. Thanks for the recommendation, I will use them in the future. Now, having said that, I don't see anything directly in the ebuild that would pull in those libraries. Here's however what I got when seeing what it will do on a system with gstreamer USE and no KDE: # required by media-libs/phonon-gstreamer-4.7.1 # required by media-libs/phonon-4.7.1[gstreamer] # required by kde-base/kdelibs-4.12.0 # required by kde-base/korganizer-4.12.0 # required by kde-base/kmail-4.12.0 # required by kmail (argument) =media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta-0.10-r8:0.10 vorbis So maybe KDE is pulling in something.
