[gentoo-user] switching to LCD monitor
LCD monitors have come down to within my price range while my present CRT monitor has no problems, it has occurred to me that if it did go on the blink, I would buy an LCD to replace it anyway might do so eg in 2006.

Without a working screen, there's no way I could do that this time. My question to anyone who can advise is this: do I just unplug the CRT plug in the LCD ? will it work so simply ?

[gentoo-user] pruning /usr/portage/distfiles/
Hello,
/usr is the only partion I seem to have trouble filling up. After
poking around I've decided to 'prune' /usr/portage/distfiles.
Before automating this action, via crontab, I'm soliciting
any other, slicker/cooler/better method to auto prune
/usr/portage/distfiles.
What I have done manually is:
EMOVING LARGE FILES IN /usr/protage/distfiles:
find ./ -size +10 -exec ls -lag {} \; | less
lists large files
find ./ -size +10 -print -exec rm {} \;
prints removes large files
again:
find ./ -size +5 -exec ls -lag {} \; | less
find ./ -size +5 -print -exec rm {} \;
again:
find ./ -size +2 -exec ls -lag {} \; | less
find ./ -size +2 -print -exec rm {} \;
REMOVING OLD FILES IN /usr/protage/distfiles:
find ./ -mtime +180 -exec ls -lag {} \; | less
find ./ -mtime +180 -print -exec rm {} \;
Running these commands manually caused the
/usr/ dir to reduce from 88% full to 55% full.
Looking at the proposed lists of files to be removed, gave
me some confidence that it was OK to remove the files.
Suggestions as to better logic that I could integrate
into a script is welcome.
Before hacking these commands into a script, I'd be interested
in comments and ideas(a better mouse trap?) better logic,
like progressively running the commands unti the disk space
threshold is below 60% full or something.

REMOVING OLD FILES IN /usr/protage/distfiles:

Hi,
Going by memory here, but think it's correct ;)
Check about FEATURES=... distclean ... in your /etc/make.conf, IMHO
this is a FEATURE which allows you to clean/erase the source files after
an emerge.
Or use /var to hold your portage-tree (make.confln -s /usr/portage
/var/portage ;) (i'm using this setup).

James Which seems to bring us back to where I at least was a bit ago--- 1. There's nothing wrong with the device *per se*, or with cdrecord, having now proved that it is capable of burning a file to CD (I assume the file was correctly burned, but with a file as small as a README, you're not going to get any noticeable buffer use) 2. The error that cdrecord was previously giving is to greater or lesser degree accurate-- *there's something wonky about the files you're trying to burn* I don't know what that might be, but it seems to me that one possible chain of logic is: a) no matter whether you use --audio or --data (or rename the file with a new extension), cdrecord detects the file as audio and automatically uses the --audio switch; b) cdrecord has requirements for the encoding of a file using --audio (as specified in man cdrecord, earlier quoted) c) your file, which must be burned with the --audio switch, does not meet the specifications that the --audio switch requires (as shown when you posted the file specs gleaned from mPlayer). The problem might be something else entirely, of course; this is just a theory. But since we don't know what the problem actually is (and I don't so much have the time atm to specify how to make sure all the components from the kernel to cdrecord to your file are all in proper working order), it's worth further investigation. On that note, three questions: 1) the USE flags for cdrtools are: on-the-fly-crypt - unicode - Adds support for Unicode crypt - Add support for encryption -- using mcrypt or gpg where applicable dvdr - Adds support for DVD writer hardware (e.g. in xcdroast) Which ones did you use? Maybe you have a functionality needed that you don't have enabled? 2) Have you tried re-encoding the audio file to the cdrecord specifications, and *then* burning it? 3) (Thanks for the idea, Dave Nebinger) Have you tried making an ISO of all the audio files (unaltered) that you want to burn to CD, using mkisofs, and then burning the ISO instead of the files?

Thats not right. gonna select 5 and take it through glibc (which was failing
the 'make test') and gzip, see what happens :P
This seems like a very sane plan.
FYI, regarding the points I made earlier:
The trampolin stuff is related to gzip looking to see if the
filesystem automatically shortened the file name that gzip creates. I
didn't analyze it in detail, but it seems to be normal and intended.
Regarding the lstat64 vs stat64, this is more interesting. It basically
means that the configure step probably didn't find an lstat call on your
system. This suggests to me a problem in your system headers or
compiler toolchain.
If fixing the gcc-config doesn't produce sane results, what I suggest is
the following commands:
# cd /usr/local/src
# tar -xzvf /usr/portage/distfiles/gzip-1.3.5.tar.gz
# cd gzip-1.3.5
# ./configure
# grep HAVE_LSTAT config.h
If HAVE_LSTAT is commented out, then create a testlstat.c file with
the following:
char lstat();
int main() {
char (*f)();
f = lstat;
return 0;
}
Compile the above with gcc -o testlstat testlstat.c. It should fail
to compile, and the resulting error should give us a good place to look
for the real problem.

UGH. I did an emerge -Davu world yesterday on my notebook (Dell i8200), and everything went fine. I did the etc-updates afterwards. I even stopped X-windows and started again and it launched just fine. I worked the rest of the day and halted as usual. Today when I turned on my notebook my startup doesn't complete?! I don't have networking (net.eth0 or net.ath0) on by default because for whatever lame-ass reason, if there is no network available or plugged in, Gentoo isn't smart enough (like RedHat or WindowsXP) to just continue on...

I run frame-buffer 1600x1200, so at the top is the normal colorized: * Setting system clock to hardware clock [Local Time]... [ OK ] But then after that line, they look like this, but in only gray: * Starting service hdparm * Starting service pcmcia [ !! ] * FAILED to start service pcmcia! * Starting service keymaps * Starting service bootmisc ... Notice how they don't have the [ OK ] on the far right edge like all the ones above this point, and they USED to be that way yesterday. The only bracketted indicatiors are the [ !! ] ones and there are only a few: I8k service, lisa service, and nntpd -- nothing that is critical to boot. There are about 40 more lines of * Starting/Service blah and it gets all the way down to: ... * Service aumix started OK * Service postfix started OK * Service coldplug started OK * Service shorewall started OK Then that's it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems Booting
Something very similar happened to me. baselayout-1.12.0_pre1-r1 was emerged in the past day or two, and the next time I rebooted, it hung up on what at first seemed to be having issues loading alsa. The boot did get into runlevel 3, so I was able to get in remotely and mess around. After pruning various things from the startup routine, it turned out to be sys-apps/dbus causing the problem for me. I removed that from the init sequence, rebooted, and everything is back to normal (or seems to be). I'm not familiar with dbus, but it was a dependency of evolution, and the very simple description of the dbus use flag seemed innocuous enough. I'm still running on baselayout-1.12.0_pre1-r1.

I will be very glad if someone can help, Allan. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Migrating Users - BEST way
I would like to know what would be the best or most proper method for migrating a user database from flat files /etc/passwd etc on a Redhat System to a newly set up'ed gentoo box. Do I just copy and paste the relevent details into the Gentoo Box, (which most likely will work after I take into account the uid starts difference (1000 on gentoo and 500 on redhat). Then there's also the smbpasswd file. What would be the best way to do this? -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!

So my next solution is to get another Drive but an IDE type and put the SATA one on the shelf, and reinstall Gentoo. Another theory I have is that it could be related to IRQ timing / sharing of the Serial SATA with PCI slot 3 on the A8V motherboard. They are sharing the same IRQ base on the information from the Manual, though the manual is not saying which IRQ is it. How can I find out? Maybe I can disable or select option RESERVER for that IRQ from Bios. -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] emerge block prob with gnome-core and gnome-desktop

Usually associated with the IDE controller or drives. Most newer bios' have it set to - AUTO, which should switch it into 32-bit, aka LBA mode. Probably under - Integrated Peripherals. It may also say something like - IDE Primary MASTER UDMA Auto. Previously as was able to compile only few packages running for 20min before crashing. Now, I was able to keep compiling for about 2-hours before kernel panic showed up. From what you've said, I think it might be useful to remove the cpu heatsink and check the state of the thermal material. Look to see if the cpu is in full contact with it. The downside to doing this is the thermal material is single use only. You'll need some alcohol to remove the material, after inspecting, then some decent Thermal compound to replace it. While it's been shown not to make a lot of difference in the short run, I tend to prefer the Artic Silver products because they are stable over time. The normal white grease drys out as do some others. The single use thermal pads are fine and generally work well. Bob - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
