[gentoo-user] Thunderbird, clamscan, mbox-maildir
Hi all, Recently I've been messing around with clamscan on my system and checking all my files. Anyway, clamscan found some things in my thunderbird files. Thunderbird currently uses mbox format for storing emails. The clamscan info I've read says it stops at the first positive hit in an mbox file. The only way to find which email, and all the emails, is by converting (a copy) to maildir format. Then I can scan that, then delete the offending email from the mbox file from within thunderbird. So far I've found mb2md (http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/) which returns: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/mboxwork $ ./mb2md-3.20.pl -s Inbox Fatal: Source is not an mbox file or a directory! Using less verifies that it is the actual mailbox. I've tried renaming to Inbox.mbx, even making a copy of the entire tree and working inside that. I still get the same message. Any ideas? , PaulNM -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] Pixie does not run.
If I replace the pixie emerged by portage does that mess up anything as far as portage is concerned? Well, other than if an upgrade comes through emerge --update world would try to overwrite what you install. Otherwise portage will think it's in there. I have one more dumb question. What man page do I read to understand how to use LDFLAGS? I was thinking this was a variable in make.conf however I just read the man page for make.conf and I see that it is not documented there. Also looked around at gentoo.org documentation, but didn't find anything that helps yet. LDFLAGS typically come in the -llib and -Lpath variety and are used to ensure that additional libraries and paths are included in the link phase. You typically won't need to add these (which is probably why there is little if any reference in the gentoo doc). Obviously there are more uses for LDFLAGS, but those above are used the most. If you do need them you can set up your environment variables before doing the make process. You can also use them on the command line ala LDFLAGS=-llib make, etc. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] No auto-add to programs list in GNOME after emerges
Greg Shikhman schreef: Hi, After installing gentoo and gnome on my current system, I don't get programs added to my program files after emerging them (ex: firefox-bin does not enter the menu after emerging it, I have to do it manually). Could anyone list any reasons why this could happen? Does the item still not appear after you have in one way or another restarted the gnome-panel (thereby re-reading the menu)? I.e. , 1) killing gnome-panel and letting it restart; 2) logging out and back in; 3) rebooting. It fairly often happens that one expects the program to automatically appear immediately after install (and much of the time it does), but it does not appear to occur, because of the way the program is added to the menu (or something), and so the item is there, but the menu is not updated 'on-the-fly' to actually show it (until the menu in memory is re-read due to a restart of the panel). I see this a lot with -bin programs, for some reason (Loki stuff, OO.o, doom3 and the like), they just don't show up till I log off and on again-- but since I usually don't log off and on again, or reboot for that matter, I think that there's something wrong. Second possibility is that the programs you're installing are KDE or other WM programs that are not interoperable with the GNOME menu. This is obviously not the case for something like Firefox, but you could install oh, KPat, 750 times and it's never going to appear in the GNOME menu (though K3b will). Third possibility is that you're using an older version of GNOME with even more broken menu functionality than the current version (2.10.x) has? GNOME, like KDE is migrating to the freedesktop.org standard, but until such migration is complete, we will still encounter bumps like this. GNOME 2.10 is the first major effort to integrate these standards, and it's not a completely smooth transition (especially since many application install routines are not necessarily compiant with the standard either, sometimes because the install routine was created before there *was* a standard to comply with). That probably explains why I see this most with -bin files. Anyway, hope this helps... I think the problem may not be as great as it appears, but please test and see.

Re: [gentoo-user] (AMD64) wrong soundcard is becoming default - Gnome unhappy
Hi Stefan, Nice idea but it seems it didn't work in my case. I set this in /etc/modules.autoload lightning ~ # cat /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 # /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6: kernel modules to load when system boots.# # Note that this file is for 2.6 kernels. snd-intel8x0 snd-hdsp ohci1394 sbp2 realtime gid=600 any=1 lightning ~ # and then rebooted. It didn't change the name: lightning ~ # cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [CK804 ]: NFORCE - NVidia CK804 NVidia CK804 with ALC850 at 0xda103000, irq 185 1 [default]: H-DSP - Hammerfall DSP RME Hammerfall HDSP 9652 at 0xda00, irq 209 lightning ~ # Note that in my case it's not that the cards are out of order. They are in the order that I wanted. The NVidia is #0 and the HDSP is #1. That is correct. The only thing that is wrong, as far as I know right now, if the name. It says 1 [default] instead of 1 [hdsp9652 ] I got a response back form the Alsa developers. They see a problem with the way the naming is done in the code. I'm filing a bug report and it will get cleaned up at some future date. Thanks for the idea. I had great hopes!

[gentoo-user] Naming drawers in Gnome
Hi! I just upgraded to Gnome 2.10.2 and realized that when I add a new drawer to a panel there's no name field anymore. Funny thing is that my existing drawers still show their name tags as tooltips when I move the mouse cursor over. So I was wondering if someone could check if he/she has the same issue before I file a bug.

Third, is your xorg.conf set to use internal agpgart (from the fglrx driver) or not (external agpgart from the kernel)? If it is set to no, because you need to use the kernel module, did you also enable support for your motherboard, if a kernel module is available for that? What, btw, is your motherboard/chipset? And what is your ATI card, while we're at it? Is your system 32-bit or 64-bit? This driver does in fact work under 2.6.12; I've been using two different versions of the driver (8.14.13-r2 and 8.16.20) under several 2.6.12 series kernels (-r6, r9, and now -r10 as soon as I reboot), and I know it works without 'extra' modification from what is normally necessary to get these drivers to install properly. I haven't seen the 'black screen on boot' issue since before we went to the new numbering system (or shortly after we went to the new numbering system; in any case, it's been so long that I don't even remember exactly when it stopped in terms of it being a driver problem, rather than an error on my part).

[gentoo-user] Getting direct rendering (DRI) to work with ATI 9550 video card
According to everything I've read, the ATI 9550 should be fully supported with Xorg. I have followed the steps in the Gentoo ATI FAQ to the letter (in fact several times over) and I simply can not get this card to work right. The log always reports DRI initialization failed! and my desktop is so slow I can watch most windows draw.

[gentoo-user] Cannot disable FF's prefetch 'feature'

Re: [gentoo-user] Slightly OT: favorite window manager/desktop environ?
I suppose to make this thread complete I'll be the first (maybe only?) one to voice support for good old WindowMaker. I think the biggest reason I still use it is that I'm just stuck in a rut, I have been running it for ages and have never wanted anything better. It's definitely light weight enough to suit most needs for people who have that desire, theming exists, but no actual skinning support. It's a bit boxier than most so for eyecandy, it's not stellar, but has a simple clean feel to it. I think my favorite feature is the dockapps (check http://www.bensinclair.com/dockapp/ for examples), which I know are clearly portable, but integrate most cleanly into WindowMaker. These can provide that desired eyecandy, such as wmBlob, or simple controls to your favorite programs, like wmXMMS. With adjustable icon width, these can take up almost no space around your edges leaving plenty of real estate for your web browsers and such. Better still, they don't even have to be reserved space, they can just fade into the background. One extra bonus to XFCE users is WindowMaker works fairly well with that on top, not that I use it, but I've known a few people who do because they like the added functionality. I'm sure none of my reasons justify WindowMaker as the best choice for my desires, but like I said, I'm in a rut, and it's quite comfortable.

I assume it could be treated like a regular hard drive, correct? Incorrect. Flash memory only has a limited write lifetime, treating it like a hard drive will kill it in no time. Yup. Like in three years or so... I've dropped both floppies and CD-RW discs in favor of pendrives (1GB) The down side is: not every computer out there can boot from a USB device. So for some computers, you still have to carry a boot floppy, but I can live with it for now. Regards, Norberto pgpQmZ8UDVFOh.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Getting problems with nVidia and OpenMosix kernel
Hi there, I got a Gentoo box with two kernels, one is linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r9 kernel sources and the other linux-2.4.30-openmosix-r3. On the 2.6 kernel, the nvidia driver works fine. But on the OpenMosix version, whenever I try to start X, it crashes, and in the log, there are no error messages. All I get is: (II) Initializing extension GLX *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not *** be the reason for the server aborting. Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE returns nothing. I believe it is a flaw in the agpgart module, because if I try to load the module, I get: /lib/modules/2.4.30-om-migshm/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o: init_module: Invalid argument Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg /lib/modules/2.4.30-om-migshm/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.30-om-migshm/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.30-om-migshm/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o: insmod agpgart failed Anyone knows how to fix this?

Great suggestion Bob, clearing the portage tmp dir did the trick. Lincoln -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

What size (in GB) did you make root, swap, and home? I'd never try and install Gentoo with less than a 4 GB root, assuming I wanted much on it. Plusm Gentoo needs room to work when doing your compiling, which is a feature of Gentoo and source based distros. If you don't have much space, I recommend Slax as one of the best small yet feature packed distro. There are other good ones too. Robert Crawford -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Which drivers to use for audio and video?
On Fri, 2 Sep 2005 01:18:00 -0400 Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I did some RTFM, and it appears that emerging 32-bit apps requires a bit of a hassle. You basically have to install a 32-bit chroot environment, which you drop into to do the 32-bit emerges. This is a hassle, but not a huge one. For a lot of things it isn't actually necessary anyway. What apps would you want to emerge 32-bit, you ask? Here's a partial list, off the top of my head, of what you lose if you go 64-bit-only... - OpenOffice does not build in 64-bit mode. openoffice-bin works very well. - 32-bit plugins for your web-browser of choice web browser of choice-bin is again what you want. OK, you use some flexibility in both of these, but the problem is only caused by closed source 32 bit binaries anyway. - kiss internet TV goodbye, because... - RealPlayer is distributed as a 32-bit app Which will work with multilib support. The plugin still requires the 32 bit precompiled browser though. - mplayer, itself, will compile in 64-bit mode. However, the win32codecs don't exist in a 64-bit equivalent. There is now a mplayer-bin ebuild which supports win32codecs. It too works very well. The final straw for me was that LILO is masked out for 64 bits, and GRUB is the only available bootloader. GRUB seems to have been afflicted by Microsoft-featureitis disease. It's got a whole lot of additional complexity, which allows it to display an image of Clippy (or Tux) at bootup. Come-on guys; people need a *BOOTLOADER*, not a singing/dancing penguin or paperclip, at bootup. GRUB is just a boot loader. It's a very flexible one, but that's all. If you don't want the graphics then you're under no obligation to use them. What advantages does 64-bit mode offer? I don't have terabytes of RAM so that ability isn't required. Well my Athlon64 can only use 40 bit address bus, that's 1TB of RAM. I doubt I could fit it into the motherboard though. address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual 64-bit mode is allegedly faster by default on other distros. This is probably true. The underlying reason for that is that in 64-bit mode, the gcc compiler defaults to include the flags -mmmx -msse -msse2 -msse3 I hope not! My vintage of Athlon64 wouldn't like it at all. flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext lm 3dnowext 3dnow Notice there is no sse3 support. -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse for the AMD64 cpu, which it doesn't do for 32-bit mode on the same chip. On a binary distro, you're stuck with what you're given. With Gentoo, we Gentoo ricers can set those flags in /etc/make.conf and get their benefit. So that advantage for 64-bit mode disappears in Gentoo. The real underlying cause of better performance in 64 bit mode is that it has twice as many CPU registers available. The x86 architecture was always deficient in this respect and AMD64 had put this right at long last. Personally I wouldn't have minded a few more, but that probably isn't really necessary. As for the ATI driver I set it up quickly today using the radeon driver from xorg-x11. After reading your message, I tried Radeon, and it seems to work. I manually entered the frequencies for my monitor, and 1600 X 1200 works fine. My NVIDIA works with the AMD64 Linux driver very well too. Of course the OSS drivers in xorg-x11 also work well as long as you don't need 3D support. Now I just need to get the sound chip working. Which chip is it you have? My emu10k1 based Audigy 2 works well with the in kernel driver. I'd expect most of the other OSS kernel supported chips to work in 64 bit mode too. -- Ian. EOM -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
