[gentoo-user] package.mask
Hi there, i want to ask how to mask versions of glibc above 2.4? I compile my entire system with gcc3.4.5 and glibc 2.4 and i don't want to upgrade them. I added the following lines in package.mask sys-devel/gcc-3.4.5 sys-libs/glibc-2.4 but there is glibc-2.4-r1 and the system wants to upgrade. I don't! I tried to mask =sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r1 but then the system wants to downgrade. The question! How can I mask glibc-2.4 so the system don't downgrade or upgrade and just use glibc-2.4? 10x in advance :) Regards, Niki -- Cyberly yours, Nikolay Balov mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Creditinfo Bulgaria Member of Creditinfo Group http://www.creditinfo.bg tel: +359 2 92 777 351 fax: +359 2 92 777 352 mobile: +359 89 666 8 421 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

In this case, upgrading to 2.4-r1 is almost certainly the best option, and change package.mask accordingly. -- Neil Bothwick You are a completely unique individual, just like everybody else. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Clarification on LVM vs JBOD
Just wanted to clarify something. Say I have a bunch of disks, I can go either using JBOD, and mount each disk eg: /mnt/disk1 /mnt/disk2 /mnt/disk3 and use them as is. If one crash, I still retain data on the other 2. If I use LVM, for ease of configuration and to provide me with just one /BIG-storage-volume, if I get a curruption of if one of the disks fail, does the other 2 retain it's data?

If one crash, I still retain data on the other 2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think JBOD (just bunch of disks) is a name for some simple sort of multi-disk array, where disks are just joined into one volume, without any stripping/mirroring. One can think of jbod as a subset of lvm, where resizing (if possible) is not so easy. Or s subset of raid0, where strip-size is large than capacity of any single disk (e.g. actually no stripping :-) Jarry -- Echte DSL-Flatrate dauerhaft für 0,- Euro*!

I'm not using kde and gnome and I'm not interested in those packages. USE flags turn on optional support (and dependancies) in packages. So for those packages with optional kde or gnome support, disabling those use flags will build the packages without that support. But they do not effect packages with fixed dependancies. For example, kdevelop requires kdelibs, so if you merge kdevelop, you will end up with kdelibs installed as well, regardless of the kde use flag setting. For the qt and gtk flags, the general effect is that you do not get any optional GUI interfaces for the packages. As has been pointed out, merging ethereal without gtk gives you only tethereal. Similarly, merging mplayer without gtk support gives you only mplayer, not gmplayer. Xine gives you only xine, not gxine. And so on. If you really don't want those other interfaces, then disable the flags. You can always enable them again for a specific package with /etc/portage/package.use. Also you might want to get in the habit of running emerge with the --pretend and --verbose options. That will show you what use flags are available for a package, and if you see gtk or qt, you can investigate further what you lose by disabling them. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

So what did transpire? I sent my laptop into sleep mode via the popup menu on the battery monitor in KDE. It did this, however, when the machine came out of sleep mode, there was no monitor. It wasn't on. I tried my basic set of tricks: try and change the screen brightness; try and switch monitors via the key combo on the laptop; close the lid and re-open it; press the key combo to turn the monitor off; press the key combo to go back to sleep mode (didn't work). Eventually I picked a button that did work: POWER. The system shut down normally! After X11 died, it went back the the framebuffer and acted like nothing had happened. However, right after this, KDE has been acting *really* slow. Much slower than it should. # top revealed that artsd, xorg, and kded were eating cpu time. This is the same behaviour as on Kubuntu before. I suspect the cause was the same, however, I don't remember exactly so I won't point fingers. Do any of you know what this is? Do you think if I recompiled xorg, kde, and arts if it'd fix the problem? Or, even better, is there a way to axe all the configuration settings and see if that fixes the problem? Please help, I think it's affecting Gnome as well (scary!) recompiling will fix NOTHING. There are a lot of temporary files in /tmp and ~ / remove them and see if the problem is still there.

[gentoo-user] Cleaning up portage
I did a df h on my system today and I only have 300 megs left on /usr So I went into /usr/portage and ran du sh and it shows as 1.5G I then went into /usr/src and ran du sh and it shows as 1.5G also Granted this is a small box 5 Gigs for /usr Should I delete all the outdated sources in /usr/src to gain space and if so will is a simple rm rf linux-2.6.outdated work?

Re: [gentoo-user] Cleaning up portage
emerge sync cleans up after itself. Rather, rsync takes care of that, so do not expect to gain too much. Cleanup of kernels is good, if they are portage managed than you can do something akin to this: emerge -c =gentoo-sources-version-revision e.g. To remove all of these kernels linux-2.6.14-r1 linux-2.6.14-r2 linux-2.6.14-r4 linux-2.6.14-r7 linux-2.6.12-r1 linux-2.6.13-r1 emerge -c ~sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14 \sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14 Exciting. thanks, joshua -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: reiserfs-ext3
I do something like this:

if [ ${x} != /usr ]; then
tar zcf ${x}.tar ${x}
fi
done
for x in /usr/*; do
tar zcf /usr_`basename ${x}`.tar ${x}

Then you save those files to another medium [i.e. cd, or another host
or hard drive or something]
format your root fs with the new fs, and copy those files back and untar.
Livecd:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/node
mount /dev/node /mnt/gentoo
cd /mnt/gentoo
[copy files here...]
for x in *.tar.gz; do
tar zxf ${x}

Re: [gentoo-user] mirror email servers
That's close to what I use. However, MX entries alone aren't the solution. You also have to configure the mail servers to forward the mail on to the final destination once it comes back online. I'm not sure how to do that myself, and don't really have to time to put much effort into it since my mail server is only for small scale personal use. I just use dyndns.org's Backup MX service: http://www.dyndns.com/services/mailhop/backupmx.html. Even if that isn't a solution for you, it's at least a place to start looking. Patrick is correct here, if you can, use a third-party service. They will always (sometimes?) have higher maintenance standards than stuff that you do. However, this is _very_ simple with postfix. MX for mydomain.com mydomain.com mail is handled by 10 server1.mydomain.com. mydomain.com mail is handled by 20 server2.mydomain.com. mail server 1: Accepts mail for mydomain.com mail server 2: Postfix, with relay_domains = mydomain.com mydestination = server2.mydomain.com maximal_queue_lifetime = 30d bounce_queue_lifetime= 1d - Maximal queue lifetime affects how long it reties delivery. - Bounce queue lifetime will help alleviate problems with spammers overflowing the bounce queue. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
