You shouldn't need to tinker with it manually, but sometimes you need to

If I remember right, with Knoppix you just type memetest (look at the

Memtest86+ will only show you dodgy memory, not device bad blocks.  For
that I think that you need to run badblocks.  Did you emerge and set up
hdparm?  You might as well do that before any test like bad blocks,
because without it access to your disks is going to be pedestrian.

[gentoo-user] PHP and files over 2 Gb

2005-08-22 Thread Jim Hatfield

I just bought a Pinnacle ShowCenter and am using it with some
Apache/PHP/MySQL code to play mpeg movie files to a TV.

It appears that PHP as built can't handle files over 2Gb - I
get warnings whenever the application peruses a directory with
such files in it.

I had a look at the USE flags for PHP but didn't see anything 
obvious. Is there an easy way to build PHP to have large file
support?

Maybe you can get this to work with this page...

 
 http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash#Option_1:_Compiling_The_initramfs_Imag
 
e_Directly_Into_The_Kernel

There's a section somewhere in here that talks about that exact error.

John D

 
 
 Thank you, John-- that is what I've been doing (which is a change from
 my original behaviour, which was to compile a separate initrd). Doing so
 did improve the situation in that using the livecd theme now allows the
 computer to boot (whereas the initrd using the silent splash would
 result in a kernel panic and halt).
 
 But I still get the message that 'no 8bpp pics are specified in the
 theme file' (twice) and then the message that the silent or verbose
 (whichever I've specified) image cannot be found, after which the system
 continues to boot. The console images are said to be being set (no
 message that they cannot be found), but (of course) do not appear.
 

OK, more information, maybe... I think I might have found what's not
working (but I don't know why its not working).

I went back through the various links that explain how to do this, and
found the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter from 18 April 2005
( http://lwn.net/Articles/132803/ ).

Now the Tips and Tricks section, titled Bootup with the Gentoo 2005.0
logo says (and I quote):

Code Listing 5.3:   |
|Configure the|
bootloader-

| |
|# nano -w /boot/grub/menu.lst|
|First change your kernel-boot-line to something like this (depends on|
|your used framebuffer and further kernel-parameters):|
|kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.11-r6 root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:[EMAIL PROTECTED] |
|  splash=silent,theme:livecd-2005.0 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1  |
===|You must use more than 8bpp (in this example it is 32,
  ===|
===|specified by [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

This is supported by the fact that neither the 2005.0 or 2005.1 themes
specify an 8bpp picture in their config files, and in fact do not even
contain 8bpp files, afaics

Now, splash_geninitfs does allow you to specify --no8bpp (which didn't
work for me either), but from the GWN, that is not necessary anyway:

| Code Listing 5.2:   |
|Creation of an initrd with the   |
2005.0-splash--
---
| |
|Be sure that /boot is mounted before you call the command|
|# splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/splash-livecd-2005.0-1024x768 \|
|  -r 1024x768 livecd-2005.0  |

As you see, --no8bpp is not specified, which you'd think meant that it's
not needed (since the author knows that the theme doesn't contain a
specification for 8bpp, and this instruction comes before the other one
that deals with 8bpp at all).

So why, when my grub.conf says

 kernel /vmlinuz ro quiet root=/dev/hda5
video=vesafb-tng:ywrap,mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
splash=verbose,fadein,theme:livecd-2005.1 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1

clearly specifying more than 8bpp as instructed, is the splash failing
to load because no 8bpp picture is specified in the theme file (which if
it had to be specified in the theme file, surely it would have been, but
it's not, so presumably it doesn't have to be), and therefore fails to
find the silent or verbose image?

Logically, this must mean that my console is 8bpp??? That's the only
reason that it would be looking for the 8bpp picture. Why is my console
8bpp, when the message is being displayed on a 1280x1024 framebuffer
meaning that the framebuffer is loaded oh, shit. Shit, shit,
shit Sorry.

I think I got it.

I have vesafb-tng specified in the kernel as so:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

but it should be

[EMAIL PROTECTED], shouldn't it? Or else the stupid framebuffer defaults
to 8bpp or something, doesn't it?

Just changed my kernel config, recompiling. I'll let you know how it goes.

That really might be it. Damn, I feel stupid, but it's not like any of
these bloody instructions remind you to set the %$#^*$% bit depth in
your kernel vesafb-tng setting, either.

Brb,
Holy




I feel that we are close to a solution here (I think the splash will
work perfectly once it stops looking for an 8bpp picture; I also think
that's why emergence works, because it has one already), but I am over
my head here.

Please help :) .

[gentoo-user] Read/Import mail

2005-08-22 Thread Fernando Meira

Hi,
this question might be a little bit out of the scope of this mailing list.. but anyway:

I need to access some old mail folder. I was using mozilla as mail client at the time.
Now I use thunderbird. I couldn't import/read the mail just by creating
an account and pointing the Local Folder to that old folder.
The extension of mozilla files are .msf while TB ones are .sdb.
Can I solve this using thunderbird or any simple app that I can emerge quickly, or will I have to install mozilla just for this?

Thanks,
Fernando.

Yes, that was it. The splash now works. So for all of you following this
thread, first check that your preferred bit depth is specified in the
vesafb-tng default setting in the kernel, and if it is not, specify it.

Thank you all very much for all your help; Uwe, won't be needing to send
that tar.gz to you after all, but thanks for the offer.

See you all later; I'm off to figure out how to make a matching GDM
theme, and get rid of that smearing in the GRUB theme. After which, I'll
maybe update the Wiki, if somebody doesn't do it first.

You would have to write a utility that looked at ALL the possible USE

to get the list of files to populate the database for EACH combination

Not exactly a trivial undertaking and the resulting database would be very

Binary distributions can do this because they usually dont allow any

[gentoo-user] CD burning with full filenames

2005-08-22 Thread Grant

Hello, does anyone know how to make an ISO and then burn it to a CD
with the full filenames preserved?  I tried specifying Joliet and Rock

 You only used Joliet (-J)?

Maybe you need this option instead (or as well):


 -joliet-long
  Allow Joliet filenames to be up to 103 Unicode characters.
This breaks the Joliet specification - but appears to work.  Use  with
caution.
  The  number 103 is derived from: the maximum Directory
Record Length (254), minus the length of Directory Record (33), minus
CD-ROM XA System Use Extension Information (14), divided by the UTF-16
character size (2).

You might also want

  -l Allow full 31 character filenames.  Normally the ISO9660
filename will be in an 8.3 format which is compatible with MS-DOS, even
though the ISO9660 standard allows filenames of up to 31 characters.  If
you use this option, the disc may be difficult to use on a MS-DOS
system, but this comes in handy on some other systems (such as the
Amiga).  Use with caution.

Check man mkisofs for more details :) .


Hope this helps,
Holly

AFAICR none of the available CD filesystems support the full range of
Unix filenames.

If this is for backup purposes you might be better off just making a tar
file and burning that directly to CD - tar is designed for archiving,
after all. The resulting CD will be readable by e.g. tar

Don't be so sure.  -pipe doesn't add that much additional memory

Bad disk blocks are almost certainly not the issue, as you would end up

[gentoo-user] Problems after reemerging GCC

2005-08-22 Thread Bill Six

Hi,

I just installed Gentoo. I decided I wanted GCJ and
Objective C support in the GCC, so I recompiled it.

What do you have to do after reemerging it? Because
afterwords, whenever I would try to run most
applications, I would get some error like failed to
load shared libraries. I read somewhere on the
internet to add the new gcc
path(/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.3.5-20050130) to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and then env-update.

While this stopped giving me the error I was seeing,
now when I try to emerge programs, the compilation
fails.

It says

i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: installation problem, cannot
exec
`/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5-20050130/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5-20050130/cc1':
No such file or directory

I've now looked at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2chap=5,
but that hasn't helped me too much.

I don't know if the following helps, but my

  Its a game like the old Roque and for Windows we have a lot of fans
  already.
  I would love it if we had a lot of Linux gamers too!

 Basically gentoo users will want to download it and compile it. Someone
 will need to create an ebuild for it.

 So:

 what language is it written in?
 what libraries are needed to compile it?
 what libraries are needed to run it?
 is there anything tricky about compiling and running it?

Hi,

you can identify the modes your graphic board supports by doing cat
/proc/fb0/modes (the frambuffer module has to be loaded for this to
work). The 2005.1 Theme needs a mode higher than 8bpp to work. For me
this setting works: video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,pmipal,[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [gentoo-user] Lost Labyrinth

Its purebasic , not powerbuilder.
And the reason why people use it, is because you can compile your games for 
windows, linux and mac. I dont think this is going to change.

The other version we have is in blitzbasic. Which only exists for windows.
So I invested a lot of time to rewrite it for a compiler that exists for 
Linux.

I can't see a reason not to play this little game.

remove the LS_LIBRARY_PATH hacks and run revdep-rebuild to find the

be recompiled.


Also make sure gcc-config is pointing to a fully-installed and functional

What do you have to do after reemerging it?  Because
afterwords, whenever I would try to run most

While this stopped giving me the error I was seeing,

I am in the middle of troubleshooting similiar (lockups, not segfaults)

Maybe it will be of some use to somebody.

During some emerges my machine was getting locked up when cpu temperature got
above 55 C (AMD Athlon 2GB), but I decided (yeah - decided ;-) that CPU is not 
the
problem - 55 C is pretty low for CPU I think.

As a workaround I have limited the RAM amount available (I have 512 MB
physical) to 256 MB by kernel parameter mem=256M. No RAM errors were detected by
memtest, but limiting available RAM works - no lockups.

The 'sensors' utility (part of lm_sensors package) shows that one (out of two)
temperature sensor is a bit too hot: it has now (no emerge in progress)
61 C and warning threshold is on 48 C. I assume that it is not CPU that
gets too hot but that small, nice north bridge on my mobo.

May it be that the solution is to get some bigger heat sink and more
powerful fan not only for CPU.

Re: [gentoo-user] Lost Labyrinth

2005-08-22 Thread Nick Rout

I am trying to make an ebuild.

when i download the compiled tarball with wget using this url:

http://laby.toybox.de/download15/laby_1.0.1.tar.gz

I get a file called download2.php\?fileid\=15 which i then have to
rename to laby_1.0.1.tar.gz

This is not a good start.

So whats up with your web server, or is there a better url i could use
for automated downloading?

 So we have to treat Lost Labyrinth as closed source.
 Because the source code of this game is only useful to other purebasic 
 programmers. And people that got the compiler. I understand.
 Can't change that.

   What are gentoo users doing with other binary packages?
   Like Acrobat Reader?
  
   Is this a big problem for this system?
 
  No, Portage can handle binary apps just fine. We have Java, Unreal
  Tournament 2k3/2k4, Doom 3, Neverwinter Nights... All kinds of binary-only
  apps.
 
  But all of them are closed-source (Except for the -bin version of some
  rather big packages, manly to save people the compile time...).
 
  It feels kinda wrong to install a binary package of a (small) open-source
  app on a source-based system...
 
  Its also weird having an opensource app that you can only compile using a
  non-free (as in beer) compiler...

 AFAICR none of the available CD filesystems support the full range of
 Unix filenames.
 
 If this is for backup purposes you might be better off just making a tar
 file and burning that directly to CD - tar is designed for archiving,
 after all. The resulting CD will be readable by e.g. tar
 tvf /dev/cdrom.

or write an ext2 filesystem instead of an iso9660 filesystem.
