Re: [gentoo-user] Custom rsync command for emerge --sync?
How do I tell emerge to use a custom rsync command? Hello, I hope you know about the script. Create some kind of directory, let's say /opt/mybin copy your rsync script to this directory and call it rsync. Then do this: PATH=/opt/mybin:$PATH emerge --sync Regards, Nico -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Custom rsync command for emerge --sync?
Sorry, but could you tell me where to find the corresponding code that is responsible for this behaviour, because I can just find the hard coded path in the variable mentioned earlier. :) OK, that doesn't work. But it's easier. Open /usr/bin/emerge with your favourite editor and search for /usr/bin/rsync. Replace this by your own script. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Core 2 duo: Building threaded program versions
Hi folks, I recently set up a Core 2 duo system. Following the AMD64 howto, the system now works. Kernel compilation took 1:40 minutes passing -j6 to make. Then I tried to bunzip a large file and found out that the machine was about 40 % in idle which is clear because bzip2 is only one process. So is there any way to build those utilities like bzip2 or gzip in a thread-using way? It's not that nice to see the machine in idle at all^^ Maybe there's any hidden use flag I haven't heard of or so :) Greets, Nico -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Then rebuild. emerge -e world I think, after having set up the tool chain, you'd do a emerge -e system and then emerge -e world, because the system packages aren't considered by the world file, are they?

Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo box hangs
2006/10/7, b.n. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: If you suspect the memory/mobo, try instead to compile some large package. Often this results in random segmentation faults for gcc. Faulty memory should result in crashes and segfaults and erratic behaviour, apart from freezes. I had had some trouble with my machine crashing in idle until I overclocked the CPU a bit. My machine has never crashed since then. I think that it's a hardware problem, but I got successfully rid of it so it doesn't matter anymore to me yet I think that there _MUST_ be something that just can't be right. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

button/power and button/sleep are _not_ the same and as the log tells

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: [OT: JOKE]virtual Windows solution...
2006/7/14, Daniel Iliev [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Linux can run trash even now. The funniest thing is that *trashers* don't know it and they think windows is irreplaceable for great many programs but that's not true...at least not any more. And so I don't use windows. The only thing I miss is the perfect ICQ client. GAIM is nice, but I'm a bit tired of the away message issue. They just don't get it work. Kopete, well, they have a broken file transfer thing. And file transfers are more important for me than just showing people a bit of text. And I like CenterICQ. I have a linux box (I have tree linux boxes - all my boxes run linux (you know, I can't stand windows) except my notebook, but the ACPI support just sucks. I know, Linus. The ACPI designers are monkeys on drugs. We all know.) which I want to connect to wherever I am. And I want to run ICQ wherever I am. And I can't install VNC clients or nx-clients wherever I am. So I just run ssh or PuTTY. And it works. I just miss things like file transfers. One of the most popular false beliefs is linux can't run games. I don't play computer games. But if someone sais this (and this happens from time to time), I run Nexuiz or Quake4-Demo or stuff. And everytime I show people: Hey, you don't need windows to play games. And you see, this is an old box (PIII, 550MHz; AMD, 800MHz) which just runs this games without any problems. And then they are a bit impressed. Another thing: My scanner is connected to my father's computer. I personally don't have a scanner and I don't need it. Well, I scanned a picture with highest quality, which resulted in a 20MiB JPEG. I tried twice to open it with Windows (2,6GHz, 1GB RAM) and both times the machine just crashed. Then I went to my linux box, ran GIMP and everything was fine. And actually, GIMP used 30% of my RAM. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] xorg-x11: Compile always fails.
2006/6/30, Richard Fish [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Ok, well, you *really* should be careful about re-digesting stuff. A digest failure means you do not have the files that the Gentoo devs expect you to have. The right thing to do in almost all cases of a digest failure is to: I know that it is dirty to do this, but I was a bit irritated. The digest-thing seems to be vanished now, I don't know why. If it is a failure in /usr/portage/category/pkg/files/: emerge --sync The first thing I did (three times today, I hope that I won't be banned), but it didn't help. or if it is a distfile that it is complaining about: rm /usr/portage/distfiles/offender.tbz2 Twice this day.
