[gentoo-user] Virtual Hosting (server?)
Hi listers.
I am wanting to do what I think is called virtual hosting -- have my
computer act for 3 or 4 different domains. Each domain would seem to
have its own services. For example: a different web page would come up
when going to than when going to . Is virtual
hosting the right idea for this? Is this the same as a virtual server?
I found documentation on the gentoo.org site:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/vserver-howto.xml
Is this the right idea? It sounds like I need a different kernel
altogether. I thought all Linux machines used the same kernel (but
perhaps with tweaks and things).
I appreciate any feedback. Thank you very much.
Best regards,

[gentoo-user] PC Speaker issue
Hello listers!
I am very excited -- Gentoo is cleanly installed and I have successfully
booted. I have one small problem, however.
My PC Speaker doesn't appear to be working. I don't get a "bell" when
doing `echo -e \\a'. I also use brltty -- a program which sends text on
the console to a refreshable braille display. It uses the PC speaker to
make sounds to let the user know what is being turned on/off or to
indicate a certain operation is taking place. I am not getting any of
those sounds either.
Could this have something to do with the terminal settings (just a
thought)? Any and all comments/suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks very much.
Best regards,

[gentoo-user] Problem while doing `emerge --emptytree system
Hi listers.
I'm in the process of installing gentoo for the first time and am now in
the process of going from stage 2 to stage 3. I am trying to do
emerge --emptytree system
It seems to be fine until it gets to installing openssl (14 of 186 apps
to be installed). The process stops and says that perl 5 is required.
This is understandable, but I thought emerge was supposed to be "aware" of
this sort of thing and install apps in the correct order. I did a
emerge --pretend --emptytree system |less
and perl 5 is there, but further down the list of things to be installed
(after openssl).
What should I do -- install perl separately? Any thoughts and/or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much.

Re: [gentoo-user] New list member installing gentoo
Hello list. I'm back from the convention and have recuperated to some degree. Sadly, I am still encounteriung a problem even with my MAKEOPTS being set to "-j1". Now, it stops during the compilation of gcc. It is also interesting to note that it stops at the same point it did when I was bootstrapping for the first time during my first attempt at a Gentoo installation using a stage 1 tarball. Below, I have included the last screen of info if it is of any help to anyone in diagnosing the problem. _ portage/gcc-3.4.3.20050110-r2/work/gcc-3.4.3/gcc/. -I/var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.4.3.20050110-r2/work/gcc-3.4.3/gcc/../include /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.4.3.20050110-r2/work/gcc-3.4.3/gcc/ra-colorize.c -o ra-colorize.o /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.4.3.20050110-r2/work/gcc-3.4.3/gcc/ra-colorize.c: In function `ra_colorize_graph': /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.4.3.20050110-r2/work/gcc-3.4.3/gcc/ra-colorize.c:293: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

Hello everyone! I am excited to report that using "-j1" instead of "-j2" for my MAKEOPTS is working so far! Of course, it has to work on the day I leave for a convention. :-( I won't be back for a week. But I got through glibc! Now, it's building binutils. I'll keep everyone posted.

Re: [gentoo-user] New list member installing gentoo
Hi Fernando. Thanks for responding. I can't say that I CHECKED my hardware because I thought that it might be referring to the lack of memory as being the actual problem. So I went out and bought some brand new Centon DIMMs. The computer sees them fine, but perhaps I should test them. I do know that, as the compilation is going on, I can see the memory running out as I continue to monitor. It ends up using all of it for some strange reason (all 512MB just about). The same thing was happening with my 128MB, though I think things were quitting much sooner. Now, it'll chuug away at glibc for about 3.5 hours or so. Before, it was just an hour or less. Very strange. And yes, you're right. The disclaimer on that article says it is not for beginners, but I got caught up in the "coolness" of the idea and thought I'd take the plunge. Perhaps I should stick to the installation handbook, though I did experience the same problem with the bootstrap procedure. I haven't tried the bootstrap since the new memory was installed. I'm guessing it'll still do the same thing, but who knows? Chat soon!

Hi Gabriel. Yes, I seem to be able to repeat the problem exactly the same without fail simply by issuing the command over and over. Also, even if I clean the disk and start over from scratch it does this. Always at that line 237, too. I'm trying something new going on what I heard either from this list or a forum -- I can't remember. I'm changing my MAKEOPTS from "-j2" to "-j1". We'll see.

Hi Daniel.
Yes, I had already chrooted at that point, but I guess "livecd" is the
default host name until it is changed.
