Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a local portage/rsync mirror on OpenBSD
Samuel Baldwin schrieb: I don't use OpenBSD but I can assure you that there is nothing special about portage's usage of rsync. Every howto about rsync servers and BSD should work. Just look into the script for settings like recursion and compression. Well, I mean't every gentoo one says emerge --sync, I was wondering what commands I could run/throw into a script to grab exactly what I want. Also, how would I get rsync to download/sync to a different location (upstream syncing, not syncing with local clients), such as /mnt/srv/portage/ or whatnot. You can choose every directory you want. In fact, it's even better to use another one so you don't need to exclude /usr/portage/distfiles and /usr/portage/packages. Awesome. Thanks, I've taken a look into /usr/bin/emerge. There I've found these default settings for rsync: --recursive,# Recurse directories --links,# Consider symlinks --safe-links, # Ignore links outside of tree --perms,# Preserve permissions --times,# Preserive mod times --compress, # Compress the data transmitted --force,# Force deletion on non-empty dirs --whole-file, # Don't do block transfers, only entire files --delete, # Delete files that aren't in the master tree --delete-after, # Delete only after everything else is done --stats,# Show final statistics about what was transfered --timeout=+str(mytimeout), # IO timeout if not done in X seconds --exclude=/distfiles, # Exclude distfiles from consideration --exclude=/local, # Exclude local from consideration --exclude=/packages,# Exclude packages from consideration --filter=H_**/files/digest-*, # Exclude manifest1 digests and delete on the receiving side Using these options to sync to a gentoo rsync mirror should give you a very basic emerge --sync. Since you don't use portage on the BSD machine you don't need to update caches etc. However, you will still get an error when syncing your clients because you don't update the server timestamp. Normally you can still sync by erasing the client's timestamp but I've only tested this with existing but outdated timestamps. I don't know how emerge handles missing timestamps. I'm no expert in portage, python or rsync so I can't guarantee you that what I tell you works. By the way: Couldn't you just install portage on OpenBSD? Since it's just python code it should work and if you don't actually emerge something it shouldn't interfere with your normal package manager. I think there is even official documentation how to reinstall portage manually without extracting a stage3. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] new box: 2 small puzzles (1 solved)
Another responder mentioned block sizes. Yes, that mb the problem. I'm new to USB sticks haven't formatted them in any way: they seem to have an existing file system on them, but mb it's Fat32, which seems likely to be inefficient. So are there any standard recommendations for formatting them ? Do I simply do 'mke2fs' (the HDDs are formatted with ReiserFS) ? How about block size ? Thanks for the replies so far. Sticks are usually formatted w/FAT16 as M$ is giving people a hard time about FAT32 (which is even more inefficent.)

[gentoo-user] compiz-fusion, emerald and xfce
Hi, for some reason I do not get compiz-fusion running with xfce. I installed from portage tree and not from xeffects overlay. I want to use emerald as window decorator. Therefore I added in ccsm under window decorations - command emerald --replace. Using compiz-start seems to start compiz, but not emerald, since I do not get window frames. I also tried a small start script: #!/bin/bash compiz --replace sleep 5 emerald --replace This does not work, too! Any ideas how to get xfce and compiz running together? By the way, I was using compiz from the xeffects overlay, starting it fusion-icon, which worked fine. But after upgrading to portage tree compiz, there is no fusion-icon anymore.

Regards, Marc I had the same problem with getting compiz-fusion to work under xfce and the portage ebuilds. I never used the xeffects overlay for compiz-fusion only for the old beryl. I used this command: compiz --loose-binding --replace ccp emerald --replace A strange thing is that it only works when I execute it a few times. The first time I had no window decorations! Another thing is when I want to go back to the xfce window manager the decorations vanished again, the mouse pointer too. I could only bring them back by deleting a few config files in my home-directory. Furthermore the dependency for libwnck was raised a few days ago which resulted in pulling the unstable gtk+ glib and pango packages in. This hosed all my apps requiring gtk which means nearly everything. I downgraded but this did not help. I had to unmerge and then reemerge glib to get things working again. So I think I will leave my fingers from compiz-fusion until it is more stable or anybody knows a solution to this problems! Regards, Daniel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

This is your monitor, not your computer. The message is pretty clear, try setting the resolution like it tells you. a Samsung, right? Thanks for the very sensible suggestions (smile). A day's investigation has brought some progress, but questions remain. Part of the problem is the KVM switch which I am using to allow me to develop test the new box while running the current box: when I bypass the KVM plug the monitor cable directly into the new box, the mode-error window disappears the screen image is the correct size (earlier the Fluxbox panel console fonts were too small); there has been another problem with horizontal syncing using the KVM, so later I plan to exchange it as defective while the warrantly is valid. However, restoring the previous set-up using the KVM for both machines, I've been exploring the software side of the problems. (1) I needed to install several pkgs to get the full 'xorg-x11': most of them were installed by Stage 3, but not all (grimace). (2) I checked the DRI User Guide at dri.freedesktop.org (a rather out-of-date site, but the UG seems ok): it told me to specify 'Driver i810' (as DdV said above too) so I enabled it in the kernel then installed pkg 'xf86-video-i810'. (3) This had the welcome side-effect of curing the mode-error window, but left the display larger than the physical screen (the Fluxbox panel the fonts were now the proper size). (4) DRI was still not being enabled the X log reported that [drm] failed to open kernel module i915, which was what was causing it to mark the screen as incapable of DRI. (5) I enabled 'i915' in the kernel, which resulted in a different log error: AIGLX error: dlopen failed, reverting to software rendering; it was looking for /usr/lib64/dri/... , but that dir doesn't exist (it isn't in lib32 either). (6) Gentoo doesn't offer an 'i915' driver under 'x11-drivers', but since googling showed it dates from 2004, I'm not sure what's going on. (7) Glgears reports 721 fps contrasted with 1230 fps on this box, which uses the Nvidia driver with a separate graphics card. (5) (6) suggest I may still need to install further pkgs.
