Re: [gentoo-user] SecurDisc Software ?
2009/2/7 meino.cra...@gmx.de: Hi, is there any open sourced software, with which I can use the SecurDisc funtionality of my LG HL-DST DVD-RAM GH22NP20 DVD burner ? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Have a nice weekend! :) mcc This is some Nero-specific feature that was developed by LG and Nero together AFAIK. So I guess it's rather not possible for a free software to support it. If you absolutely need it you should try Nero for Linux. It advertises that it supports the same features as the windows version so this should be included, but of course, it's not open source. -- Currently developing a browsergame... http://www.p-game.de Trade - Expand - Fight Follow me at twitter! http://twitter.com/moortier

(Don't forget to emerge it first if it isn't installed). Then you only have to copy one link here which is easier if you have no running xserver on the machine. But as the previous posters said: There are different networking devices that are used on the mainboards with the same chipsets so we need more information. Maybe a precise name of the mainboard could also help but lspci -v is best. -- Currently developing a browsergame... http://www.p-game.de Trade - Expand - Fight Follow me at twitter! http://twitter.com/moortier
Re: [gentoo-user] syslog-ng +bash history
2009/2/4 Marcin Niskiewicz mniskiew...@gmail.com:
Hello
Everything that is written by users on console is logged in 3 different
files (debug , syslog, messages) ...
I'd like to route all history logs to one file only... i know how to make a
filter which would write it to specific file but still everything is written
to other files as well.
is there possibility to configure syslog-ng to log history only to one file
(for example history.log) and leave others files clean?
best regards
nichu
Hello Marcin!
I imply that you already have done some modifications to your
syslog-ng.conf as logging everything the user type on the console is
not in the standard file that comes with gentoo.
Basically syslog-ng has got sources and destinations. So you have to
take a look at your syslog-ng.conf and find out the name of the
sources and the name of the destination of the history.log file.
Then you can simply add the following line (replace the variables accordingly)
log { source([source that was previously used for debug]);
source([source that was previously used for syslog]); source([source
that was previously used for messages]); destination([destination of
history.log]) };
If all the sources give you the same messages or they are one and the
same source just insert only this one. If your history.log file was
not defined by now you can simply add it as a destination with
destination [name] { file([path-to-history.log]/history.log);}
Also if there are other log lines that contain the sources and the
destinations that you mentioned you have to remove them completely if
they only contain this one source or just remove the source that
delivers the history.
Then syslog-ng should only log into history.log

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Gentoo's advantage: optimized for yoursystem -- huh?
2009/2/4 Prado, Renato (R.P.) rpr...@visteon.com: My question can be put like this: Do binary distro's per package optimiziations override the benefit of having arch specific optimiziations that gentoo allows? Thinking about that... I guess a could future for future portage releases would be a USE flag the overrides the system's CFLAGS (besides -march) to what the package maintainer recommends. This would be interesting for processor-intensive stuff, like ffmpeg for example. This would also allow users to try some more dangerous flags only for packages were they are known to be safe. I have -march=amdfam10 (Phenom) and I once watched the compilation of ffmpeg and it said something like CPU family amdfam10 unknown and it changed some of the CFLAGS (I can't remember which exactly) so I guess something like this is already somewhere under the hood. But I agree that a USE-Flag to decide over this behaviour would be great. -- Currently developing a browsergame... http://www.p-game.de Trade - Expand - Fight Follow me at twitter! http://twitter.com/moortier
Re: [gentoo-user] DVD RW (recommendations
2009/2/3 James wirel...@tampabay.rr.com: Hello SATA or Eide on DVD rw choices (internal unit). Any cheap DVD rw that have success writing to the many forms of rw DVDS, that one would recommend? Any bands (plextor?) to avoid on gentoo? James Hi James! I use LG burners for every pc and I'm very happy with them. They seem to be very compatible (at least they burned every DVD my friends brought to me and they get trademarks that I never saw before...) and also have good test results. For the decision between S-ATA and IDE: I can recommend using S-ATA. One reason is that most boards have got only one IDE Channel left, second reason is the S-ATA cable is smaller though the air can pass easier through the pc and third they start to be cheaper than the IDE ones. -- Currently developing a browsergame... http://www.p-game.de Trade - Expand - Fight Follow me at twitter! http://twitter.com/moortier
Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo's advantage: optimized for your system -- huh?
2009/2/3 Grant Edwards gra...@visi.com: Whenever I see a write-up of Gentoo, it's describe as a system similar to BSD ports where you build packages from source. The main benefit claimed for this approach is that you get better performance because all executables are optimized for exactly the right instruction set. Where did that bit of apocrypha come from, and why is it parroted by so many people? I guess that is because the average user doesn't know those other problems. Maybe he is used to reinstall his system every few months because he used Windows before (which was the case for me, I repeat was). Or he just reinstalls it when something fails. Also this sounds like a very strong argument. Just imagine! That shiny new CPU of yours and it wasn't running at it's full potential! But wait no more! Use Gentoo and it'll show the power of all its instructions! AFAICT, the performance benefit due to compiler optimization is practically nil in real-world usage. Not nil, but very very small. Maybe some 0.25 oder 0.5 frames per second in a game or 2 or 3 requests more per second for a webserver. I tried that. In my experience the huge benefit of source-based distros such as Gentoo is elimination of the library dependency-hell that mires other binary-based distros. You are absolutely right! For many years I ran RedHat and then Mandrake. After a year or so, they became impossible to maintain because of library version conflicts. Every time I tried up upgrade an RPM package to fix a bug or security hole, it required a handful of libraries to be upgraded, but doing that would break a bunch of other RPMs for which upgrades weren't available. The solution was always to start building stuff from sources. Once you started doing that, the package manager would get upset because it doesn't know about some stuff that's installed (unless you built from source RPMs, which had another set of problems). The second benefit is that with Gentoo, upgrading a system actually works over the long-run. With RedHat/Mandrake, things would gradually deteriorate to the point where the system was unmaintainable, but attempting to upgrade between major releases was always futile. I've had Gentoo machines that have been upgraded for 4-5 years without any significant problems (failed hard-drives don't count). I hope mine will run as long as yours :) But I'm quite sure it will. I just love that I can pick newer packages by unkeywording them and I don't have all those library problems that I would happen with other distributions. (Which can sometimes be avoided with backports, I know, but those aren't always available...) The third main benefit I've seen is that there are vastly more packages available for Gentoo. Putting together and maintaining an ebuild appears to take a lot less work than putting together and maintaining a binary RPM package. I've had far fewer problems with third party ebuilds than I did with third-party RPMs (on the rare occasions when I found one for some obscure application I wanted to run). Again, the solution was always build from sources. Hmm.. I think making an ebuild is even harder. Because you have got different combinations of USE flags and if you are a good maintainer you should check them all, if you build an rpm it is fine if it works. With 4 USE flags there are already 31 possible combinations just imagine some larger packets with ten and more USE Flags... Are the real benefits of Gentoo too hard to explain to the unwashed masses, so instead they're told the fairy tale about imporoved performance? I guess yes, because they just install packages from their distribution or wildly from the internet so they destroy their installation and have to reinstall anyways. And by the way, I love the slogan Gentoo - It's all about choices maybe it should be used more often, maybe it could beat that improved performance slogan. -- Currently developing a browsergame... http://www.p-game.de Trade - Expand - Fight Follow me at twitter! http://twitter.com/moortier

ant-task is stable, ant-core is unstable. So, you seem to have
package-unmasked the ant stuff. The ant-core ebuild says that it completely
blocks ant-tasks and ant-optional.
The best way to advise you what to do would be if you supply the output from
the emerge you are running with the -t option. Without that my best guess
would be:
emerge -avC ant-tasks
rerun the original emerge

Alright, thank you for your help. I got it running late in the night
by unmasking ant an all its dependencies.
Wasn't easy to figure this out and I was quite frustrated after
several hours, that was why I wrote to the list.
