[gentoo-user] Stray dependency on virtual/x11-7.0-r2
I just switched to modular X, and got to the point where the system comes up okay. I have a few remaining puzzles and problems. Here's one: When I do emerge -aDvu world, it wants to emerge [ebuild N] virtual/x11-7.0-r2 USE=dri 0 kB The migration guide says this can happen when there's an outdated package. But equery says there are well over 100 such packages that depend on virtual/x11. And they're all up to date. I've been running stable so far, with very few exceptions. Am I really to go unstable with all of these? This seems extreme in view of the fact that a great many of them are KDE things, but KDE seems to be working just fine. What's a guy to do? Can I get away with just waiting for a while? ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] kernel.pid_max
Hello, From /etc/sysctl.conf: # Allow for more PIDs (cool factor!); may break some programs #kernel.pid_max = 99 I though it may be neat to have a bigger pid pool, So I edited the file to change the value to 9 and run: # sysctl -p error: Invalid argument setting key kernel.pid_max # cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max 32768 # echo 9 /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # echo 9 /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # sysctl -w kernel.pid_max=9 error: Invalid argument setting key kernel.pid_max # sysctl -w kernel.pid_max=9 error: Invalid argument setting key kernel.pid_max How do you get this to work? I do have sysctl support in the kernel: # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep SYSCTL CONFIG_SYSCTL=y Also, assuming you can help me get this sorted does anyone know which programs this may break?

Instead of going unstable with your entire system you can add the offending package to /etc/portage/package.keywords for instance. If it's a package you know you don't need you could also remove it.

[gentoo-user] Re: Scrollback Buffer of screen in Gnome Terminal
· Alexander Skwar [EMAIL PROTECTED]: What do I have to change, so that I'm able to use the Gnome Terminal buffer even when I'm inside a screen session? I think, that this is bug #61195 - http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61195 The behaviour is caused by the fact, that TERM=gnome and in the screenrc, there's no setting which informs screen, that there's a scroll back buffer in the terminal (or something like this).

[gentoo-user] beamer
Hi folks, I have just heard about a TeX/LaTeX extension by the name beamer that can produce stunning slide shows. I have been told that it beats PowerPoint, Impress, KPresenter and any other presentation software hands down due to TeX's built-in knowledge of true typesetting. Another advantage is that the result is a PDF and can be presented on any system with a fairly recent PDF viewer. A friend of mine showed it to some PowerPoint magicians and apparently, they were blown away. I tried emerge --pretend --verbose beamer which returned nothing. Does anybody know whether it is in portage - and if so, under what name?

[gentoo-user] (Maybe OT) Status of Globespan chipset USB ADSL modems support
Hi, I'm going to setup an old box for a friend of mine that has ADSL connectivity but for some month won't have a PC to use with it (she has to buy a laptop, but she's out of Euros,now). So I thought to take some of the rusty old boxen I have at home, throw out Linux on it (still don't know if Gentoo of something else...they're quite old (400 MHz, 64-128 Mb RAM) ). The problem is: she already had an USB ADSL modem, a Nortek Jet ADSL 2021. It is a Globespan chipeset modem. Having her buying an Ethernet router or something is out of the question (otherwise I'd already do it). By STFG, I'm quite confused by the current status of support of this chipset. On one side, I have found that it's supported by eciadsl. On another, it seems to me all references to how to setup USB modems on Linux are quite outdated (2004 or 2005). The last news on the eciadsl site are of a bit less than one year ago. I wonder: has the support for ADSL modems powered by Globespan chipsets entered the kernel? At which revision? Do they work out of the box? Which howto should I follow? Also, any other suggestion about setting up these old boxen for my friend is welcome :) . Thanks, m. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

When a 100 packages show up for `equery depends virtual/x11` it means that 100 packages have a dependency that could be satisfied by virtual/x11. That's quite different from 100 packages depend on virtual/x11.

Re: [gentoo-user] kernel.pid_max
Hi Darren, You may be getting an invalid argument because on the i386 (Intel 32bit) architecture pid_max seems limited to 32768. I'm no kernel expert but between this thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/7/188 some googling and reading through the source in: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/threads.h (then manually branching through the code), I came to the conclusion that 32768 is the maximum permitted.

I may fool with the proprietary driver, but it doesn't matter too much -- my use does not stress the video performance much. I just want it to work. A booby-trap here... if it doesn't say Rage 128, it's *NOT* an R128 chip. I know Rage Pro is Mach64, and I believe Rage XL is also a Mach64 chip. http://www.ati.com/products/embedded/ragexl/features.html says that the Rage XL has a 64-bit path, which implies Mach64. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Just remember that your firewall does face the open Net, so avoid putting any (non-encrypted) sensitive files on it. I tend to disagree with that :) If power bills are your concern, get a small low power board to be your firewall. In anycase, I'd keep the firewall stable (x86, not ~x86), and locked down with whatever you feel is necessary - selinux, hardened, root check thingamybobs. Then you can run ~x86 on your media pc. IMHO a lot of media apps are still quite heavily developed, and so you will get useful updates by using ~x86. And if it crashes then no big deal! Your media PC can be regularly updated with the latest hardware if you wish, but your firewall can stay on the same PII for years (like mine :) HTH, -- Iain Buchanan iaindb at netspace dot net dot au Monotheism is a gift from the gods. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} Two systems or one?
I tend to disagree with that :) If power bills are your concern, get a small low power board to be your firewall. A small Linksys WRT54-GL flashed with DD-WRT makes a sweet little firewall for home use. :-) Very low power consumption, the wireless can be turned off(kinda) if you have no need of it and it's very configurable once reflashed. Make sure you get the GL model though as the other models are pretty much limited to stock firmware and later revisions were neutered to an extent. And did I say the GL's can be purchased new for ~$60? -Drew -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} Two systems or one?
Yes, but does it run Gentoo? ;) Maybe not Gentoo specifically but it runs a linux kernel inside. :) Hence the 'L'. -Drew -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] detailed information about USE flags?
I finally rebuilt my system, after nearly three months. Have installed gentoo using the minimal install CD. It went easy, with a fast connection. Much easier for me than trying to do the LiveCD install. Now, I need to set USE flags, and I want to do so with care. I understand the concept, but I have to admit that I have never had enough information at my disposal to choose USE flags even half cluefully. I have seen some USE editors, but even they do not give very much useful information about USE flags. I don't want to have to do emerge --newuse yadayada very often... Can someone point me to more information on USE flags, or do I have to week through a plethora of mailing list and forum posts, and even then have no clue? Thanks for any help.

[gentoo-user] Re: detailed information about USE flags?
· Alan E. Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I don't want to have to do emerge --newuse yadayada very often... ? --newuse is only needed, if you change global USE flags. There shouldn't be many flags you set globally, ie. in /etc/make.conf. Instead, set the USE flags in /etc/portage/package.use. Can someone point me to more information on USE flags, I don't think your question can be answered globally. What a USE flag does, is highly dependent upon the package which employs this flag. And generally, the name of the flag should be quite self explanatory - or at least the description should show, what it does (I use euse -i $flag to get the description). But if you need in detail information, you'll have to check out the ebuild and see what it does.
