Partitions are just something you - either you the user, or the manufacturer if they come pre-formatted - put on there. I'm pretty sure that my experience with at least one external hard- drive (USB mass-storage device) was that formatting /dev/sda worked just fine under Linux (and, I think OS X) but was not recognised by Windows XP. IIRC mkfs.vfat gave a warning. When formatted by Windows XP and remounted in Linux the drive was of the /dev/sda1 type of partition layout. This seems to be the opposite of how you describe, unless I am misreading. Some USB sticks are formatted as floppy disks (?) and show up as /dev/sda (instead of /dev/sda1). I have had no problems mounting these in Linux or MSWindows, but wouldn't know how to format them in Linux.

Re: [gentoo-user] /usr/lib/ccache/bin does not exist, big deal?
daid kahl a écrit : I'm emergin system and world after a little while, maybe 4 months, I got directory does not exist /usr/lib/ccache/bin I search a bit, and it seems that ccache accelerate compiling. So it's seems to emerge anyway in a good way. What should I do to kinda make it better ? Just create that folder?? The short answer is to edit make.conf and create a new directory. For example, here is a copy from my make.conf of the relevant location (sorry for the line numbers): FEATURES=collision-protect sandbox ccache userpriv usersandbox buildpkg # features for the cowboy in you #FEATURES=-collision-protect -protect-owned sandbox ccache CCACHE_DIR=/var/tmp/ccache/ CCACHE_SIZE=2G You need to add the FEATURE ccache (don't worry about the rest of mine, but you should have some FEATURES I hope!), define the CCACHE_DIR CCACHE_SIZE variables, and make sure the CCACHE_DIR is created. For more information, you can check the gentoo wiki: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Ccache Personally, right above the FEATURES declaration in make.conf, I have a stack of comments so I can remember what features are available and remember how to use them: # Notes of all possible FEATURES and the respective effects # 'assume-digests' #when commiting work to cvs with repoman(1), assume that all #existing SRC_URI digests are correct. This feature also #affects digest generation via ebuild(1) and emerge(1) (emerge #generates digests only when the 'digest' feature is enabled). # 'autoaddcvs' causes portage to automatically try to add files to cvs #that will have to be added later. Done at generation times #and only has an effect when 'cvs' is also set. # 'buildpkg'causes binary packages to be created of all packages that #are being merged. # 'ccache' enables ccache support via CC. # 'confcache' enable confcache support; speeds up autotool based configure #calls # 'collision-protect' #prevents packages from overwriting files that are owned by #another package or by no package at all. # 'cvs' causes portage to enable all cvs features (commits, adds), #and to apply all USE flags in SRC_URI for digests -- for #developers only. # 'digest' autogenerate digests for packages when running the emerge(1) #command. If the 'assume-digests' feature is also enabled then #existing SRC_URI digests will be reused whenever they are #available. # 'distcc' enables distcc support via CC. # 'distlocks' enables distfiles locking using fcntl or hardlinks. This #is enabled by default. Tools exist to help clean the locks #after crashes: /usr/lib/portage/bin/clean_locks. # 'fixpackages' allows portage to fix binary packages that are stored in #PKGDIR. This can consume a lot of time. 'fixpackages' is #also a script that can be run at any given time to force #the same actions. # 'gpg' enables basic verification of Manifest files using gpg. #This features is UNDER DEVELOPMENT and reacts to features #of strict and severe.

Re: [gentoo-user] my xorg-server 1.6 seems a bit unstable - what am I doing wrong?
I see. Well, I am running nvidia-drivers-180.60, and versions 185 and 190 are masked by ~x86. Same for the xorg-server-1.6.4. So the only thing I could do really is to update the kernel... But xorg-server-1.5 was perfectly stable for me, so I don't see how kernel upgrade would be helpful here, given that nvidia-drivers aren't in the kernel.
[gentoo-user] Anyone at Hosting Europe here?
Hi list! Does anyone on this list have a virtual server from Hosting Europe running Gentoo? I'm currently trying to get a VPS 4.0 working. With VPS 3.0 it was no problem to run Gentoo using this guide: [1]. Now I'm trying to port it to 4.0 (4 times the guaranteed RAM at the same price) but the system just doesn't boot or gets its network up. If I don't find the problem myself this weekend, I have to go back to the default Ubuntu and port my complete setup to that. I'm thankful for any hints.

log 0 Used: %s MB\n $( printf $format $( mydf -3 $dir ) )

That was before I knew about ${#total}, so in fact no nesting would be

I think I also had tree levels of nesting somewhere, but that was too much

[gentoo-user] problem with gimp, firefox and inkscape
Hi, I've a strange problem with some of my applications. the problem is when I want open a file in inkscape or gimp, or when I want to select a file in firefox to attach the select file appears and then the whole application crashes with this error: Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it. Segmentation fault or gimp: (script-fu:24851): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error Segmentation fault I've also done two sync and also deep-new_use update and tried revdev- rebuild which they did nothing. I also ran a memtest to check if faulty memory is the reason. But all the test passed without any problem. I don't have any problem with kde applications and also OpenOffice or Vlc. It seems that it is a gtk problem. I can open files when I pass them as a command line argument. I've opened a bug few days ago. But it seem that I'm the only one that have this problem. No one made any comment or voted for my bug. this is getting a little bit annoying. Specially in Firefox. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287709 Would anyone give me a clue what the problem is? Best Regards Platoali

Re: [gentoo-user] New laptop is slow.
I just finished installing Gentoo on a Dell Vostro 1320 laptop. It has a 2.2Ghz Core Duo CPU, 3GB RAM, and a 7200RPM hard drive. Navigating within firefox is pretty slow. It's the response time of the application, not the network. It's much slower than my previous laptop which has much weaker specs. Now that it's working how do you like the screen, size, etc? That's one of the laptops I've been considering. kashani Overall, it's great so far. I need to get the speakers to mute when I plug in headphones, but I think I know how to fix that and I'm going to start a thread about it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: New laptop is slow.
I just finished installing Gentoo on a Dell Vostro Now that it's working how do you like the screen, size, etc? That's one of the laptops I've been considering. You just have to admire and honest (Dell) company I had a Dell laptop a few years back. It was the reason for maybe 2 years I didn't have a PC at all (which is very strange for my life). I think almost every single component on it broke in a matter of 18-24 months. It was purchased through a university, and I think the IT department must have thought I was using it as a frisbee on a regular basis . A friend around the same time had a different model and it was also a pile. Not that N=2 statistics mean anything, of course. Not sure anymore, but Dell was built on two basic policies: 1) Make profit by cutting out the middle man (you had to order things directly from Dell) 2) Buy the cheapest (crappiest) parts in bulk and assemble. I'm using Apple now, and aside from an entourage of complaints on the assume user is an idiot (fixed by running Linux) and proprietary hardware (everything can be hacked), the beast is rock solid. Of course, one of my friends has the exact same model laptop and he had to ship it back like three times, so...who knows? Then again, the price of Vostros will blow Macbooks out of the water. I guess you could just buy two Dells and cannibalize one when the keyboard/powersupply/harddrive/optical drive/usb port/ethernet port/screen hinge breaks (a short list of my old Dell problems). Regards, daid I've had the same experience with Acer laptops. I've also had trouble with screen hinges on Dell laptops. - Grant
[gentoo-user] alsa-driver: Unknown symbol in module error

Re: [gentoo-user] my xorg-server 1.6 seems a bit unstable - what am I doing wrong?
nvidia drivers load into the kernel. Driver-kernel interaction can cause a lot of problems. Alright, I am now running 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 kernel, but I still have the same issue. I think it's a scroll-bar that triggers it. If I drag a scrollbar down with my mouse and then run it back up, there is a delayed response (especially in Acrobat Reader), and when I do that in Mathematica 5.2, that simply crashes X. Now I am kind of regretting that I upgraded to xorg-server-1.6... I was very happy with 1.5 and before. Sigh. May this be a library issue? Gtk? I received some kind of an error from Gtk, if I recall, while using acroread, but acroread did not crash...

Anonymous logins are made for user ftp, which is set up in /home/ftp: $ ls -ld /home/ftp dr-xrwx--- 4 ftpusers4096 2009-09-19 19:45 ftp $ ls -ld /home/ftp/incoming drwxrwxr-x 2 ftpusers4096 2009-09-16 23:58 /home/ftp/incoming/ This setup allows me as the admin user to have control over the files in the anonymous ftp root, and anonymous users may only upload stuff in the incoming directory. I don't really know how to play with groups and user, any good tutorial on that? Just search for it, keywords such as file permissions chown may help: http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix/513350-linux-file-permissions-executables-howto.html http://penguinpetes.com/b2evo/index.php?title=chmod_squad_howto_use_linux_file_permiss The latter is more informative on how to use groups in detail. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' *** Quits: TITANIC (Excess Flood) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-user] my xorg-server 1.6 seems a bit unstable - what am I doing wrong?
On Freitag 09 Oktober 2009, Denis wrote: nvidia drivers load into the kernel. Driver-kernel interaction can cause a lot of problems. Alright, I am now running 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 kernel, but I still have the same issue. I think it's a scroll-bar that triggers it. If I drag a scrollbar down with my mouse and then run it back up, there is a delayed response (especially in Acrobat Reader), and when I do that in Mathematica 5.2, that simply crashes X. Now I am kind of regretting that I upgraded to xorg-server-1.6... I was very happy with 1.5 and before. Sigh. May this be a library issue? Gtk? I received some kind of an error from Gtk, if I recall, while using acroread, but acroread did not crash... you could rebuilt gtk, I never had crashes or problems with acrobat and I don't have mathematica :)

Gack... sorry Dale ... somehow I didn't see that you had already mentioned equery.

Cause if you've been following Florian's post you'd see that he's running a VPS which is probably a heavily patched 2.6.18. At least my VPS is like that. Come on, don't you read everyone's post? Yeah BIOS can effect it, the kernel not so much. Not sure about an openvz style VPS. kashani

[gentoo-user] How to update dependency cache for emerge?
Hello, list. Last emerge-sync brought following change: net-zope/zopeinterface became net-zope/zope-interface, and, as far as I can tell, all the ebuild files were updated to use a new package name. Only problem is that portage doesn't seem to know about this and I can't seem force it to update it's cache. I have portage-2.2 with FEATURES=metadata-transfer, the latter probably being the cause of the problem, but seem to be necessarry for some overlays I'm using. Error: emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy net-zope/zopeinterface. What I've tried so far: emerge --regen egencache --update emerge -C pkg emerge -1 pkg What works: ebuild /path/to/pkg.ebuild merge Any ideas how to fix emerge in this case? Thanks. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net signature.asc Description: PGP signature
