Nice to see you back! I believe it means your archive is too big for the media disk you. Are you trying to write 4.7[GiB] on a 4.7[GB] DVD disc? 4.7 GB (giga) = 4.7 x 10^9 = 47 (DVD media disc capacity) 4.7 GiB (gibi) = 4.7 x 2^30 = 5046586572.8 (the too large file) Gibi is often incorrectly called giga which leads to confusions. -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Strange problems
Hi all, 3-4 days back i did a world emerge. First i wanted to do a update only but instead a did a world emerge with --emptytree option. Everything gone quite smoothly. Then i did a module-reubuild. Then a reboot. Everything was fine till now. But after login i noticed one thing, typing anywhere(either on terminal or gedit or anywhere) is not smooth any more. I mean going through in a file up and down or escaping characters is really slow now. One more thing was that 'gsynaptics' was not working anymore. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ gsynaptics ** (gsynaptics:31184): WARNING **: Using synclient [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ It appread on screen for few moments less then 2-3 seconds and gone. No errors to trace back. That sucks me totally. Previously i have xorg-x11-7.2, now after world emerge I have xorg-x11-7.3 with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.09 both the times. I didn't find a cure for that rough typing and synaptics. Then i look inot Xorg log, and quite interestingly found following errors. --- flukebox flukebox # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep EE (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

So, i forget that for time being. Lately i was trying to get hibernate, suspend working on my laptop. I followed http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_TuxOnIce;. I installed sys-kernel/tuxonice and got settings accoring to howto. I emerged hibernate-script,suspend too. then i tried hibernating. Aah hiberanting didn't work. It worked partially actually. I am able to hibernate but not able to resume. While resuming system freezes after saying cleaning. Any specific logs to look into ? when hibernate didn't work .. i give a try to suspend .. and write hibernate-ram on terminal and voila it worked. So, I am currently able to suspend. Here comes very interesting and strange part of all of these headaches. After resuming from sleep, one more problem got solved. No more slow typing hurray :P. So, now i can type everywhere(terminal or gedit or whatever) as fast as before emerging world. Even going though in a file up and down, tho and fro are smooth now.

My knowledge of bash is less than rudimentary, therefore I am not
sure what this does - can you please explain (in plain English). Did
you only have /dev/hdd mounted at the time of installation? What
else is connected to the controller that hdd is connected to?
The above line is a short version of:
grub-install --recheck /dev/hda
grub-install --recheck /dev/hdb
grub-install --recheck /dev/hdd
--recheck was necessary because the old device map listed /dev/hdd as
an optical drive.
I installed grub on all devices because I wasn't sure which one is
checked by the BIOS. Now I know I can tell the BIOS to look at /dev/hdd
first but that doesn't help.
At the time of installation the system was running with all devices
mounted. The old /boot (/dev/hda1) was unmounted and the
new /boot (/dev/hdd1) mounted.
On the same controller there are two more HDDs (hda and hdb) and a
DVD-burner (hdc). UDMA modes are set correctly by the BIOS, after boot
everything works fine.
There is also a floppy drive and several USB-devices (card reader).

If you want to keep your 32bit userland, you'll run into a chicken-or- the-egg-problem (because you can't run 64bit software without a 64bit kernel). To avoid this, you could get a precompiled 64bit kernel and boot with that one. Then you can use an AMD64-stage3 from Gentoo to compile your own kernel.

Well, depends on from which side you want to attack: a) competition law violation: you have to be a competitor or represent an reasonably large part of the market to be alled to file a suite. b) they've sold a defective product, and so you're going to hold them responsible for compensation c) you see this as an defraud and press criminal charges. OK, I forgot that you might have contact to a competitor. In this case, it should be possible to force shops to clearly separate the selling point for non-standard products from the products that behave as expected. What you may do is to forbid mixing these non-CDs with standard compliant media in the same rack in a shop and you may force the shops to add hints that the rack to the left does not include CDs. Yep, that would be the shop's resposibility, followed on the consumer protection law. Another side is directly attacking the producer.

From the way I understood the error, it could not handle a file larger than 2Gbs. May be reading it wrong tho. That's right, why do you think the files on video DVDs come in 1GB chunks. You need to split the tarball to put it on a DVD. I use dar for backing up to DVDs, it handles these details for you. The maximum size of a single file on a video DVD is 1 GB - one sector. This is to allow historical (e.g. Mac OS 9) OS that is not large file aware. The largefile awareness starts with the ability to correctly handle files that are 2 GB - 2 bytes. Mkisofs is largefile hot since 10 years (Solaris) and supports large files on Linux since Linux started to introduce this feature. As ISO-9660 level 1..2 limits files to 4 GB - 2 kB, we are not talking about large file support but about something different. If you are using cdrkit, you use a fork that has been created in September 2006, but that is based on code published in September 2004. As the cdrkit project does not do own development, all new features and bug fixes done in the official software are missing in the fork. If you need features implemented during the past 3 years, you cannot use the fork, _need_ to use the official software.

With the rule that every user has his own primary group (as it is default), this is sufficient for my needs. Hmmm. That gives permissions: rw-rw on every single new file created by every single user by default. If you are happy with that, so be it. I would not be happy with that :-) Since every user has another primary group this doesn't cause problems. Only on folders with SETGID where the group is changed by design this umask causes other users to have write and read permissions and that's what I wanted in the first place. And what about the packages you install/update as root? I'd bet that not all give the exact permissions when calling install. Bad idea. Bye... Dirk Hmm, good point. I will monitor the situation. If there are any occurrences of wrong permissions, I think it will be sufficient to make an if-clause before setting the umask but maybe it proves unneccessary. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] segfaults with php and cacti
Hi all, I've been using phpmyadmin with apache/php for ages with no problems. I want to add the cacti application to the same server but on a separate vhost. The problem is, trying to access the cacti interface through a browser causes a segfault with php. I've also tried running the index.php from the CLI and it still segfaults. I can't find any references to this that apply to my situation, I hope there's someone out there that can help me out :) Please let me know what information to provide to assist troubleshooting.

Re: [gentoo-user] CD ROM does not play audio CD's
* Joerg Schilling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It just says that it echoes the data to /dev/dsp (or another given device). So it's bound to exactly that device interface :( Well, if you did read the man paghe, you know that cdda2wav knows the correct names for all supported platforms and in addition allows to define the name by use of an option. Maybe we're talking about different versions. Mine doesn't state this ... But still the problem remains: you need explicit support for each audio interface you want to use. cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ - Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ - -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] OT: intentionally broken media
* Joerg Schilling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, I forgot that you might have contact to a competitor. In this case, it should be possible to force shops to clearly separate the selling point for non-standard products from the products that behave as expected. Yep, my advocate is also music producer, so he can do this :) Yep, that would be the shop's resposibility, followed on the consumer protection law. Another side is directly attacking the producer. I am no sure whether you may directly attack the producer, but I would asume that you could forbid the producer to advertize these defective products as if they were CDs. I expect this will result in some micro-text: This product is not a CD, we thus cannot grant that it is playable in a CD player on all ads. Well, that would be at least a good step. The main point is that we've have to get managed that these products may not be traded as they now are in our country. So either producer or importer have to react on that.
