Re: [gentoo-user] SATA tuning ?
Sigh. Apologies for corrupting the thread by creating a new message, but I seem to have finally been bit by the missing emails issue, so I don't have a message to reply to. I found this in the archives: You mentioned problems compiling. The most likely case I can think of is that you do not have enough memory, and are inducing the system to swap. Hmmm...1GByte Dualchannel-RAM should be enough for compiling Blender (for example). Maybe not. With -O3 FEX, some programs can take 200-400MB *per module* to compile. It all depends on the complexity of the code, and the problem would be particularly acute with C++ programs (which I know blender is not C++, so this is just something to keep in mind). Indeed when compiling most programs, you should see very little if any disk activity. My SATA disk (Seagate ST3200827AS) is heavily shakeing its head when compiling... Run top in another window while this is going on, and keep an eye on your swap usage. If you see any swap being used at all, that is a bad thing. This is particularly suspect if you have something like MAKEOPTS=-j4. Yes, normally I use make -j 4 for useing both cores. Try with -j2. -j3 is ideal for keeping a dual-core CPU busy, but will still take a huge amount of RAM, so unless you add another GB of RAM, I recommend no more than -j2. And if you are about to compile a big C++ package (like KDE or OOo), drop to -j1. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Ehm... 'whatis' is not 'whereis'. But leaving that aside, have a
look at your MANPATH: echo $MANPATH. If it contains repeated

env-update, re-login and run makewhatis.

I then tried to follow:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds
to test if it worked. I tried:
ebuild
/usr/local/portage/gnome-extra/evolution-brutus/evolution-brutus-1.1.6.ebuild
fetch
to test if ebuild could fetch the source. I naively assumed that ebuild
would look at SRC_URI before trying to download the source.
Unfortunately it tried to connect to all possible gentoo mirrors
instead. Can I get ebuild to download from my site without modifying
make.conf?
Thanks,

[gentoo-user] inotify problem
Hi.
I am trying to use inotify but something is not correct.
I am using gentoo 2006.0.
kernel: 2.6.17-gentoo-r4
inotify is compiled in.
glibc 2.3.6-r4
What happens:
I initialize inotify, it returns the file descriptor (fd). OK
I add a directory to watch with all flags. It returns the watch descriptor
(wd). OK
I read (blocking) the fd. It blocks. OK
- I touch a file inside the directory I am watching
the read unblocks, but it really returns 0 bytes read and do not block anymore.
Thanks in advance for any clue.
Marco
The code is as follows:
#include linux/inotify.h
#include stdio.h
#include asm/unistd.h
int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
int fd = syscall(__NR_inotify_init);
int wd = syscall(__NR_inotify_add_watch, fd, /invalid, IN_ALL_EVENTS );
struct inotify_event ev;
char *filename;
uint32_t maxsize = 1024;
int br=0;
filename = (char *) malloc( maxsize * sizeof(char) );
if ( ! filename )
{
puts(Could not allocate 1024 chars. Kill me!);
exit(1);
}
while ( 1 )
{
do {
br = read( fd, (void *) ev, sizeof(struct inotify_event) );
printf( Bytes read: %i, sizeof: %i, wd: %i, mask: %X\n, br, sizeof(struct inotify_event), ev.wd, ev.mask );
} while (!br); // I know it is not correct, just to catch the case where br is 0
if ( ev.len 0 )
{
if ( ev.len maxsize )
{
maxsize = ev.len;
filename = (char*) realloc( (void*)filename, maxsize * sizeof(char) );
if ( ! filename )
{
printf(Could not reallocate %u chars. Kill me!\n, ev.len);
exit(1);
}
}

}
}

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: hdparm and baselayout
after i took a more cleary look at the messages i found out that hdparm did not work on boot up and when i try to start/stop the init-script by using sudo, but when i log in as root and run the script it shows me: /etc/init.d/hdparm start * Running hdparm on /dev/hda ...

[gentoo-user] XDM / GDM hangs when logging in.
I've recently installed GDM, XDM, and Fluxbox on a new Gentoo machine. When I boot to XDM, and login as root, everything is fine and dandy, with a nice Fluxbox desktop. When I login as my user, it just hangs on a black screen (which xdm used to do when it was pointing to a wm that didn't exist). CAD, CAB, and CAF1 do nothing, and I'm forced to reboot via the power button. I do not know why it is doing this (perhaps bad permissions for fluxbox?), and I would prefer not to do everything as root. On the side, is it possible to customize the appearance of XDM (I know I can for GDM)?-- Samuel (shardz)Noha+Shardz Productions: nsproductions.co.nr Registered Linux User #410639amarok.kde.orgusmc.mil

Hmm, possible. I just noticed that it has a before bootmisc dependancy, so it is going to start very early on. In fact, bootmisc is considered a CRITICAL_SERVICE by /sbin/rc, so that means hdparm is going to start at the same time as filesystems are mounted and modules are loaded. I don't know if previous versions of hdparm had this same thing or not. I think you can either file a bug about the dependancy on bootmisc that causes hdparm to start too early, hack the init script yourself to remove it, or reconfigure your kernel to include the drivers for your CD-ROMs statically, not as modules. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] [OT] Scheme interpreter with readline support?
Hello all, I have been searching for a scheme interpreter that has readline support (at least I think it is readline support) whereby I could have a sort of expression history where I could use the up arrow or whatever for access to previous expressions and also use the left arrow to edit the current expression if I make a boo-boo. Sort of like the embedded python interpreter or Ruby's irb... I have tried mzscheme, chicken, and guile so far, and none seem to have this. I am also aware of environments such as drscheme, but I really just want a simple console interpreter. I thought I would ask here rather than installing and trying all ~25 interpreters in dev-scheme Thanks, -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org ...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected... - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972 pgphoXBUBslxQ.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: hdparm and baselayout
so i think it is not a problem between sudo and root, for root my default locale is en_US for me as normal user it is de_DE.utf8 so it seems to be a problem with the locales -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Problem with X apps from remote PC
Hi, I have here Xorg running. My system is a AMD64, software is up-to-date. X is compiled with xinerama tag. Now if I start emacs or a xterm etc on my FreeBSD pc I can only see the decoration of the window but nothing is displayed in it. As window manager I use XFCE4. Everything worked fine before an update in the last 2-6 weeks but I have no idea who to solve that problem now. Is it possible that with the new modular XOrg a package is missing?

[gentoo-user] ipw200 wireless config problem
Hi can anyone help me resolve this problem. I'm running kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.16-gentoo-r9. I've built in support for the ipw2200 driver and installed fimrware image ipw2200-firmware-2.4 as the forums say the latest firmware image is not supported with my kernel version. I've got problems ... when I try and install. wireless-tools installs OK but no interface is present when running iwconfig. I get the following error on dmesg. # dmesg | grep ipw ipw2200: no version for "ieee80211_wx_get_encodeext" found: kernel tainted.ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.1.3mprqipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporationipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connectionipw2200: ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2ipw2200: failed to register network deviceipw2200: probe of :02:04.0 failed with error -5 How do I check that ieee80211 is installed correctly in my kernel (not as a module I assume since ipw2200 is installed). any other tips would be really appreciated as I've been trying to figure this out for ages.

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Scheme interpreter with readline support?
quoth the darren kirby: Hello all, I have been searching for a scheme interpreter that has readline support (at least I think it is readline support) whereby I could have a sort of expression history where I could use the up arrow or whatever for access to previous expressions and also use the left arrow to edit the current expression if I make a boo-boo. Sort of like the embedded python interpreter or Ruby's irb... I have tried mzscheme, chicken, and guile so far, and none seem to have this. I am also aware of environments such as drscheme, but I really just want a simple console interpreter. I thought I would ask here rather than installing and trying all ~25 interpreters in dev-scheme Thanks, -d Nevermind.

I've got problems ... when I try and install. wireless-tools installs OK but no interface is present when running iwconfig. I get the following error on dmesg. I would really suggest installing the ipw2200 drivers separately from the kernel, i.e. emerge net-wireless/ipw2200. To do so you should reconfigure your kernel so that it has basic Wireless Lan support, but with ieee80211 and ipw2200 turned off. The ipw2200 ebuild would bring in an outside copy of ieee80211, follow the instructions that come up at the emerge to remove the in-kernel source of ieee80211 completely. And you should also be able to use the 3.0 firmware. I've used the drivers from outside of the kernel since version 0.6 and never had any problem.
