Congratulations and welcome to gentoo-land. It's quite a feat of accomplishment to get through your very first gentoo install :-) The speed-ups you see are quite common in reality, especially on lower grade machines than what Ubuntu targets. Your gentoo machine is profiled more towards what you need and less towards some broad average spec. I have the same thing at work - a 512M desktop running Hardy maxes out the RAM after 2 hours.

Hello. My motherboard is an ASUS M2N-E. Not high end. And I have my doubts about it at times. At first, especially, there were moments. It's been less than six months. I got the MB as a kit with CPU and 1GB of RAM. I have upgraded the RAM to 2GB as a kit of Dual Channel ram. Earlier, I only had a single stick of RAM. I've been through a succession of Motherboards and etc. in the case, which I bought in about 1997. The 1RPM Sata drive is an important addition. If I could have my druthers, I'd be running a Tyan. I have such a MB at work with dual Opterons. There is a feeling of excellence to it, but it comes at a cost. It would be interesting to set two dual core Opterons on that board. One Day.

[gentoo-user] cpufreq and kernel-2.6.25-gentoo-r7
Hi, I recently installed Gentoo GNU/Linux 2008.0 (amd64, no-multilib) on my HP Compaq A900 notebook which has Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 (1.6 GHz/EM64T) CPU. I've compiled a kernel myself using the configuration generated by 'make menuconfig'[1]. In the new kernel, I noticed there is no support for CPU Frequency scaling, although I compiled it inside it in kernel and CPU supports it.

[gentoo-user] Problem with kernel 2.6.26
Hi I've just tried to do a kernel upgrade from 2.6.25-gentoo-r4 to 2.6.26-gentoo. I coppied my existing config and did a make oldconfig. The compile seemed to go without errors, but when I try and boot the system hangs. The last output is Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled Looking at my logs for the old kernel suggests that the next thing to happen should be Switched to high resolution mode on CPU 1 My system is a Samsung q35 laptop which has an intel core duo processor. Do people have any suggestions of how to solve this or should I file a bug? Alastair Irving

I would let the updater run then see if anything changes. It may be
that some of the packages will be OK as they are.
You can unmask that in /etc/portage/package.keywords and
/etc/portage/package.unmask. Keep in mind that these packages are still
be tested. You shouldn't use them unless you know the risks.

Have you tried to unmask x11-libs/vte-0.16.12 and see if that works?
Just put the following in package.unmask: =x11-libs/vte-0.16.12 See

To make a long story short, the Tyan was nice, but not right for me. My present Athlon 64 X2 is doing very nicely now... The Tyan Thunder I am running at work is also a power hungry dog, but would that not be mainly because of the CPUs? Wouldn't newer Opterons be more efficient? That's what I'm hoping for. Yes, I like the Athlon 64 XP2. The point being that the Tyan was a cadillac of a motherboard---and priced out of my range.

[gentoo-user] OpenRC and rc.conf
I've had some trouble in the past with cfg-update although it sure is easy. After a recent upgrade to a new portage, or so I assume, I was asked to decide what to do about a config file change to an entirely new system: OpenRC. Not sure what to do, I probably bodged that. Now I receive this message at times: /etc/rc.conf: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `' /etc/rc.conf: line 1: ` File 1' Investigating I discover there is a Baselayout and OpenRC Migration Guide that tells me It is critical that you run dispatch-conf and ensure your /etc is up to date before rebooting. Failure to do so will result in an unbootable system and will require the use of the Gentoo LiveCD to perform the steps below to repair your system. So, my question is how can I recover and make sure any new config file has been activated?

Boot a livecd and chroot in, then follow the guide I'd imagine.

Be warned: running python-updater can take a long time (as in a day or more) on older machines. It rebuilds things like open office. I think that is the correct way. It is also safer to keep a spare copy of some things around in case you mess up to. man make-conf and look for buildsyspkg. If it were me, I'd leave the old Python around for while. There's no real reason you need to unmerge it (unless you're running out of disk space). -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! Catsup and Mustard at all over the place! It's visi.comthe Human Hamburger!
