Re: [gentoo-user] 64-bit system?
You'll only notice a speed increase with applications that need to caculate very large numbers, like encryption keys and certain scientific apps. Everything else will basically run just as fast in 32-bit mode as it will in 64-bit. There are exceptions in certain media encoders that don't have hardware optimizations for 64-bit, that may actually run faster as 32-bit apps. Well, the registers are not only twice longer, but there is twice as much of them as in 32-bit. And THIS is what optimising compilers are fond of. More registers mean less in-memory temporary variables, which in turn means less memory accesses. This gives speed improvement. For SMP systems it gives huge difference - as the memory is shared between CPUs and they must fight for it. I have an amd64 system for over a year (or is it 2-yrs?). I had some glitches: * Need to use binary 32-bit firefox to have flash - still have problems with some fonts not appearing in flash * Need to use 32-bit java to make 32-bit OpenOffice happy * Some forensic packages won't compile on 64-bit due to bad coding techniques But besides that - my AMD64 3000+ just rocks. I had definitely much more problems with 64-bit XP, but since getting rid of it (XP not problems) I am fully 64-bit positive :D That's what I just bought. A Sempron64 3000+. So, if there isn't an amd64 package available, I can always use x86? Does portage make it easy to do this? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

How do I sort them?': Am I likely to find many usable files in that /lost+found directory? Maybe. I tried to recover a corrupted ext3 boot recently and was unable to pull anything useful out of lost and found that was larger than a symlink. :( If a number of files NOT in lost+found were corrupt, it's likely most of the files in lost+found are corrupt as well. That said, /boot data is generally easy to replace, so I put no effort into recovering files that were corrupted. If the data was valuable, if might be worth it to spend some time sorting those out. If I can, how can I best sift through them? Carefully. :) Is there a utility, or something I could drop into a simple bash script, that would look at the first few bytes of the file and, say, identify it as a jpeg or an xml file, so that it could be given an appropriate file extension, deleted or moved? As the other poster mentioned, the file utility is useful for identifying the type of file. Keep in mind though that is only looks at the first few bytes of the file, if there's corruption later on file won't notice. Or is there one that could distinguish a text file from a binary? Of course, file does this to some extent. A MIME type of text/* is generally text, while anything else is binary. But, file's output (by default) isn't a simple binary or text string. Some of the GNU utilities that are meant for text files will complain before operating on a binary file, so you could use those for this task, possibly. (I'm thinking of less and grep.) In particular, grep '[^[:print:]]' should return true when run against a file that contains non-printable characters (like control characters or NUL, and, depending on locale, non-7-bit-clean characters). Are there any other strategies I could use to sift through these files (assuming it would be worth doing)? Well, before you write some sort of bash script around file to rename stuff, you'll probably want to remove anything that is clearly trash, like device nodes or 0-length files. Something like: find lost+found \! \( -type f -o -type d \ -o -type l \) -o -empty -delete should work if you are using GNU find. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgpMg3bjhF81I.pgp Description: PGP signature

I can't recall which of the following commands is correct ? Neither, dig doesn't take URLs. You are probably wanting something like: dig google.com * Looks up the address for google.com using the nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf or: dig @151.164.1.1 google.com * Looks up the address for google.com using 151.154.1.1 (ns1.swbell.net) You should be able to compare how various DNS servers resolve the address you are trying to browse using varations of those two commands. However, dig is capable of much more, so you might want to read the dig manpage displayed by: man dig Also, keep in mind that your ISP could resolve the domain's ip address properly and still block the site. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgpYZeuf4OOqZ.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] custom ebuild questions
I'm not sure if this is the proper list, if it is not I apologize and if someone could tell me which I should use it would be appreciated. I'm having a few issues, and I'm not exactly sure where these are exactly. First off I built a custom apache-2.0.58 ebuild from the one in the portage tree. It seems to have compiled just fine, and reads all of our previous apache configs, it even loads up php just fine and dandy. The reason for this custom build was we needed a specific layout that we have created, which was used during the compiling of apache. Next onto php. Since our application relies heavily on php for the back end we have several patches that we have created, as well as needing very specific things done in the ./configure portion of compiling. The patches applied just fine, I looked for the lines that were changed in the source code while it was compiling and they did change. The ./configure that I put inside /usr/portage/eclass/ depend.apache also ran with no problems. My php.ini location was specified in two locations, first with --with- config-file-path=/etc/apache as well as modifying PHP_INI_DIR=/etc/ apache/ in /usr/portage/eclass/php5_1-sapi.eclass, though a php -i still shows the default location for the gentoo build at /etc/php/ apache2-php5/php.ini. I know it's silly to require our php.ini to be in /etc/apache, but currently that's where a *lot* of code looks for that file, symbolic links cause issues so the file must reside there. Finally libphp5.so does not seem to compile *at all.* This is troublesome considering I am compiling with the apache support enabled. Without that I won't be able to use php scripts through apache, any idea why that doesn't exist? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
