Re: [gentoo-user] date and gentoo running under vmplayer
On Thu, 06. Mar, John J. Foster spammed my inbox with Hi all - it's been awhile snip Is this common? Is there any way around it? I'm not really sure why openntpd didn't work. I tried out vmware with a windows VM and it was always fast. I have recently read an article on virtualization timing problems, and it seems this isn't so easy. So an ntp daemon seems to be your best bet (Strange that openntpd didn't work...), although this is curing the symptons rather than the disease...

[gentoo-user] Nvidia 169.09-r1 problem
Hello all
I just ran emerge --sync and world and I see nvidia driver update is
available. However I have problems emerging it. This is what I got:
* ERROR: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-169.09-r1 failed.
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile
* environment, line 3591: Called linux-mod_src_compile
* environment, line 2626: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:

LDFLAGS=$(get_abi_LDFLAGS) ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS}
|| die Unable to make ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS}.;
* The die message:
* Unable to make IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=yes V=1

* If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if
relevant.

Any ideas how to solve this ?

I fixed by including the line Option UseDisplayDevice DFP in the Screen section of /etc/X11/xorg.xonf. However, now I can't use an external Monitor/Beamer. Ah! That could be it. Sounds familiar. I've never tried connecting an external monitor or beamer, but have you tried connecting the monitor, either commenting out the above line or change it to CRT instead of DFP, and starting x? From my understanding, the problem is probably the driver trying to output, by default, to the non-existing beamer/extern monitor. Your fix effectively tells the driver to ignore all CRT devices and just output to the DFP... Yes, indeed, commenting out that line starts the display on an external monitor. With a bit of experimenting I now have instead Option TwinView true Option TwinViewOrientation clone in my xorg.conf. Now I can switch between the external monitor and my LCD by pressing the Fn-CRT/LCD key. However, I need to issue the command xrandr -s 1024x768, since the external monitor doesn't support my default of 1400x1050. Does anyone know how to make the virtual screen size default to one supported by both monitors? Also, when connecting the external monitor I need to restart X. Would be nicer if that weren't necessary. Ideas? Henry -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I compared the xorg.conf's (mine and ubuntu-live) and they are the same. So what I suggest could be the problem is that I got my kernel wrong, since it seem to emulate Logitech instead of synaptics. But I don't know if that is the problem, or how I fix it. (I have all the kernel options that the gentoo-wiki synaptics-how-to recommends.)

[gentoo-user] [OT] Infrastructure documentation
Hello yall! This is half-topic but I think everyone will benefit from the results. Here at my company we have 18 Gentoo servers spread over 3 data centers and our office. We have well defined and time-proven (one of the servers was installed in 2004 and it's still the same Gentoo) processes on monitoring, backup, applying security fixes, and maintenance. We have almost 100% of high availability and some services even have high availability across different data centers in Florida and California. We are using catalyst with cfengine to save us a few hours of work every week and everything is working great. I would like to move forward to some other projects but most of the knowledge (60%) required to do everything resides on my head alone. I'm hit by a car in the streets and something might go bad, like the required monthly database partition maintenance. I would like to hear from the list what you are using for infrastructure, software, processes, hardware documentation. I think I need a system with a good user access control, an all-in-one solution to document everything. Using Wiki+UML would solve the issue (I have 30% already documented in wikis) but (a) none of them were designed for this specific task and (b) they don't integrate, people would have to use two systems that knows nothing about each other. What are you gurus doing to be replaceable? Thank you very much in advance! Best regards, Daniel Colchete

with the german/germanb options and german.sty from the
package texlive-langgerman, always giving the command
\selectlanguage{german}
I don't use texlive, but have you set linguas_de?
That was a good idea, and necessary to do, thanks.
However, latex and pdflatex apparently still don't want to use the
language.dat file with the now correct entries. Funnily, xlatex does!
So, as workaround I've converted to UTF-8 and use xelatex now.
Any other ideas?
I found this which might be interesting:

[gentoo-user] [OT] Infrastructure Documentation
Hello yall! This is half-topic but I think everyone will benefit from the results. Here at my company we have 18 Gentoo servers spread over 3 data centers and our office. We have well defined and time-proven (one of the servers was installed in 2004 and it's still the same Gentoo) processes on monitoring, backup, applying security fixes, and maintenance. We have almost 100% of high availability and some services even have high availability across different data centers in Florida and California. We are using catalyst with cfengine to save us a few hours of work every week and everything is working great. I would like to move forward to some other projects but most of the knowledge (60%) required to do everything resides on my head alone. I'm hit by a car in the streets and something might go bad, like the required monthly database partition maintenance. I would like to hear from the list what you are using for infrastructure, software, processes, hardware documentation. I think I need a system with a good user access control, an all-in-one solution to document everything. Using Wiki+UML would solve the issue (I have 30% already documented in wikis) but (a) none of them were designed for this specific task and (b) they don't integrate, people would have to use two systems that knows nothing about each other. What are you gurus doing to be replaceable? Thank you very much in advance!

Is there a better way to fix this?

[gentoo-user] Laptop: Thinkpad T43: Disks Very Slow Under Load, Were Fast in the Past
Hello, I'm running gentoo on an IBM Thinkpad T43. In the past, disk access was fine under load (CPU or disk). These days, the disk becomes painfully slow under moderate to high CPU usage (such as compiling) or copying more than a few MB. GUI's become almost totally unresponsive and at times I have to down the system hard. So it seems it's some sort of a change in kernels compared to the past. I have always run a vanilla kernel, manually configured and installed. Right now I am running 2.6.24.3. The system uses an SATA disk drive. Here is the boot line in grub.conf: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-stable root=/dev/sda4 rw hdc=noprobe acpi_sleep=s3_bios panic=5 elevator=cfq nmi_watchdog=0 /boot/vmlinuz-stable being a symlink to the kernel I consider stable within /boot/. I also have vmlinuz-last called by another grub entry if I need it.

It is customary to have the timer interrupt run at 1000 Hz but 100 Hz may be more beneficial for servers and NUMA systems that do not need to have a fast response for user interaction and that may experience bus contention and cacheline bounces as a result of timer interrupts. Note that the timer interrupt occurs on each processor in an SMP environment leading to NR_CPUS * HZ number of timer interrupts per second. The timer wakes up x times per second and demands that it get attention. Your VM however, cannot control this on the host and the guest kernel interacts in strange ways with the host kernel.

Since I'm not real sure what this package does, I am unsure if I
should just unmerge and re-emerge it (perhaps at one time I ran the
~x86 version and so I have a mixture?)
Is there a better way to fix this?
Is it even worth fixing?
I don't *notice* anything wrong other than the warning there, so
perhaps it's just benign.
READ THE ERROR MESSAGE PROPERLY.
It says The device-mapper init script is written for baselayout-2.
Please do not use it with baselayout-1.
What does that mean? It means that you are not using baselayout-2, you
are using baselayout-1, and you are also using the device-mapper init
script which doesn't work right with baselayout-1.
As it turns out, the init-script in this case just exists in this
condition, so you could ignore it. To make the message go away, remove
device-mapper from your runlevel:
sudo rc-update del device-mapper default
