Well, I had it working on Friday but over the weeekend I tinkered some

By the way, if you're looking for performance enhancements to your
diskless hosts, let me know. I have found some, and am also always
looking for more.
Right now I'd be happy to have it working, no matter how slowly.
One think I have found by searching the internet is that pxegrub has
history of poor interaction with 3Com cards, which is what I'm using.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Re: [gentoo-user] DRI with Radeon X850 on AMD64
Am Montag 01 Oktober 2007 schrieb Daniel D Jones: Trying to get DRI working on a Radeon X850 on AMD64. In my Xorg log, Im seeing: (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib64/dri/r300_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/r300_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering And sure enough, there is no r300_dri.so in /usr/lib64/dri. The file IS present under /usr/lib32/dri. Can I simply link this driver to the lib64 directory? (I'm guessing not.) Is there a different 64 bit package/driver? Do I have an incorrect flag set or one not set? Hi, if im not mistaken the fglrx driver doesn't support AIGLX at all. So either disable it or ignore it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Backups
Francesco Talamona wrote: Yes, please. I'm not completely new to dump, but I'd like to read about a complete dump-backup solution. Ciao Francesco Well - its not complete by any stretch of the imagination... but the attached (hopefully not striped off by the mailing list software) is a very brief discussion of how to do a minimal backup/restore using xfsdump. Note that user data is *not* explicitly covered - even tho there is no reason it cannot be backed up this way too! In addition it does not cover incremental or cumulative backup variations - again no reason why this cannot be used, but for a quick and simple *system* restore, I find using only full (i.e level 0) dumps helps avoid admin (i.e me making) mistakes. It's worth noting that the essential logic is simply: - dump system filesystems - save xfsrestore binaries as a package - boot livecd - install xfsrestore binaries somewhere - restore dumps Backup and Restore System = This is a quick guide for backing up and restoring xfs dilesystems using xfsdump/xfsrestore. It should be relatively simple to apply the ideas for other filesystems dump tools (e.g. dumpe2fs for ext2/3). Backup -- 1. Dump filesystems: $ cd /data0/backup $ xfsdump -L boot-0 -M backup1 -l0 -f boot-0.dmp /boot $ xfsdump -L root-0 -M backup1 -l0 -f .root.0.dmp / $ xfsdump -L var-0 -M backup1 -l0 -f var-0.dmp /var $ xfsdump -L usr-0 -M backup1 -l0 -f usr-0.dmp /usr 2. Package dump program $ quickpkg xfsdump $ cp /usr/portage/packages/All/xfsdump-2.2.45.tbz2 /data0/backup 3. Record filesystem layout $ df -m df.out 4. Save the dumps and packages Copy to DVD or another machine... Restore --- 1. Boot from the live cd We are assuming that we are completely rebuilding the system, or are making another one (initially) identical to the backed-up one. 2. Partition drives and create empty filesystems etc if required $ mkfs.xfs /dev/sda1 $ mkswap /dev/sda2 $ mkfs.xfs /dev/sda3 $ mkfs.xfs /dev/sda4 $ mkfs.xfs /dev/sda6 3. Retrieve backup dump and package files from DVD or other machine May require 2 DVDROMS (or 1 DVDROM and 1 CDROM) - one for live cd, one for backup data. 4. Install dump program if it is not already on the live cd Xfsdump is *not* on the live cd. You need to choose a partition you are not using yet and create a filesystem on it, install xfsrestore there and amend the system path to see it. (or add another tmpfs filesystem). $ mkfs.xfs /dev/sda9 $ mkdir /xfsrestore $ mount /dev/sda9 /xfsrestore $ cd /xfsrestore $ tar -jxvf xfsdump-2.2.45.tbz2 $ cd usr/bin $ rm xfsdump xfsrestore $ ln -s /xfsrestore/sbin/xfsdump xfsdump $ ln -s /xfsrestore/sbin/xfsrestore xfsrestore $ export PATH=$PATH:/xfsrestore/sbin:/xfsrestore/usr/bin 5. Restore dumps Use the contents of df.out to figure out which dump should be restored on which device! then temporily mount each filesystem and restore it. $ mount /dev/sda3 /mnt2 $ xfsrestore -f /mnt/cdrom/root.0.dump /mnt2 Now root is restored we can mount the other empty filesystems and restore them. $ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt2/boot $ xfsrestore -f /mnt/cdrom/boot.0.dump /mnt2/boot $ mount /dev/sda4 /mnt2/var $ xfsrestore -f /mnt/cdrom/var.0.dump /mnt2/var $ mount /dev/sda6 /mnt2/usr $ xfsrestore -f /mnt/cdrom/usr.0.dump /mnt2/usr 6. Chroot, (re)install bootloader and reboot 7. Notes Obviously you can backup user data this may too (i.e /home), altho other methods might be simpler (mind you most dump tools let you do incremental and cumulative relatively simply).
[gentoo-user] Upgrading the kernel
Do you guys have a trick that will update a new kernel quickly? I'm using 2.6.21-gentoo-r4 right now, and have foregone upgrading to 2.6.22-gentoo-r5 and -r8 because I read somewhere that I can't just use my old .config file for a new kernel version if it's *not* a revision-upgrade and I can only upgrade safely between 2 revisions. I don't want to go through all those kernel settings one by one. Do you just remember a few key things that you need (framebuffer, video, usb, etc) and just use the default settings?

[gentoo-user] per-ebuild compil options
Hi all,
after recompiling another bunch of libraries just to unstrip them, I'm
wondering if I can specify FEATURES and CXXOPTS (for example) on a
per-ebuild basis.
eg. I would always want to build glib and glibc with nostrip in the
FEATURES, and -ggdb in the compile options, but all other ebuilds would
be as normal.
Any way I can do this without putting the ebuilds in my overlay? I know
I can do it on the command line:
FEATURES=blah nostrip CFLAGS=blah -ggdb CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS} sudo
emerge -va1 glibc
but that kind-of gets defeated during an emerge world.
thanks,

Re: [gentoo-user] Upgrading the kernel
It is quite simple, take this config file which is the default distro config: http://esc69.midphase.com/~moiress/good_config (compiles most everything as modules, if you don't want the compile to take forever you might want to change the config to only include what is absolutely necessary to boot your system) Then: 1) Download: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.9.tar.bz2 2) tar xvjf linux-2.6.22.9.tar.bz2 3) cd linux-2.6.22.9 4) copy the previously mentioned config file here, be sure it is named .config! 5) make oldconfig 6) make 7) make install 8) sudo update-initramfs -k kernelversion -c -v 9) sudo update-grub 10) edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add initrd line below kernel line for the kernel you just compiled and installed 11) reboot and enjoy!

Cable operators could do whatever they want. Not sure why the PVR-150 isn't just working out of the box for you. I know there were some complaints about Hauppauge quietly putting another device in the box. And that's because of the switch over. As of March 1, 2007 manufacturers had to include a digital tuner if they included an analog tuner. This included computer interface cards as well. I believe the new Hauppauge is a PVR-1600 with dual tuner (NTSC ATSC). Good luck. Patrick It seems to work. Using at and cat, I can record TV shows (needs a bit of work to make sure everything is scripted right, but I'm working on that).
