See the thread usb storage transfer is very slow from late August. It

Grub reads the data into ram as soon as it reads the kernel or initrd

ram. Since grub uses (i assume) bios calls, reading with those is much 
slower than disk access through the modern os drivers. 

I'd check for the size of the initrd, and see if its compressed. It

Some hubs don't like having different sets of ports and it's a repeater, 
not an 'intelligent' routing system. If you're going to try and set the 
cards to FD you may want to try disconnecting them all and connecting 
them all one at a time once you have forced the card to FD.


Admitidly, I don't know why it would be faster one way than the other. 
I'm wondering if that's a cable issue (partially damaged cable causing a 
small capacitance effect). Do you get the same effect when you swap the 
cables over?

Re: [gentoo-user] broadcom BCM4309 chipset and 2005.1 install

I gave up on the wireless install (couldnt get ndiswrapper to work on
knoppix - probably my lack of familiarity with it) and ended up using a
network cable to copy across an existing (complete and running) P3
desktop system.  Other than the fact I got out of sync and issued a rm
-rfv / in the wrong place and didnt quite restore everything after this,
its now running fine on ndiswrapper.

I did find the stable wpa_supplicant would not connect using
ndiswrapper, whilst my other atheros based laptop worked fine.  Fixed by
using the ~x86 wpa_supplicant, now both laptops are happy.

What should have been a 60 minute start to end install has spun out to
a few days now! - but at least I am almost there now.

 Actually, you can just 'emerge ndiswrapper' Be sure to read all the

 far). I use a scratch-built kernel (gentoo-source) and not genkernel. If 
 the PCI address of your wlan card is 1404:4320, it should be able to use 
 that driver. It is in the driver package: bcdriver/AR/bcmwl5a.inf

Gnome apps (such as evolution) freezing. x11-xorg runs ok on it's own. At
this stage I'm considering reinstalling gnome (if I knew how). Any help

Try connecting the 2 systems  with only a 'cross-over cable' run the 
applications
and make measurements. If this results in an increase in the bandwidth 
in either direction, you may want to put systems back on the hub, and 
have a third system run ethereal. Look at your data traffic and see 
if anythingelse is using the bandwidth from either of these 2 system 
or what else is plug into the hub/switch.

Is the hub a 10Mbps only hub/switch, check that. On 10 Mbps ethernet 
hubs,you can never reach the full 10 Mbps, in fact with many systems 
chattering,the practical throughput is marginally around 33%.

If when you are on the cross over cable and you get similar poor 
results,then the problem may be in the ethernet driver code, 
kernel, irq settings or
some other low level part of the kernel/modules, especially if 
you get the same skewed results with several different 
applications moving data between the systems. But, if when
 you move data between these 2 isolated system, and 
get different bandwidth performance semantics, then the problem 
is most likely between the applications or a bottleneck in the 
application code (poor data structure for example).

Make sure you computers are not resource limited, thus blocking 
the processthat you are running to move the data. Top and ntop 
are just a few toolsto help track down these sort of issues.

Sadly, you may have a complex mix of part or all of these 
aforementioned issues...

'ufed' shows the list, but does not detail which flags I need to get perl
to build MakeMaker.pm. At the time of this email, I unmerged perl and
I'm rebuilding it (yet again) --newuse and without 'ithreads' this time.

Looking at the ebuilds under /var/db/pkg/dev-perl did not exactly 
'turn on the light' for me as far as find the flags that I need to
set so that MakeMaker.pm get's built. Is there a tool, script or a

Obviously, I need MakeMaker.pm, which normally get's built with perl. 
But since, I'm trying to make this system a minimal firewall, I need 
to minimize the flags that get set.

Do you thing I need to add 'pcre' to the USE flag settings?

'man  ufed' says this: A list of USE keywords used by a
 particular package can be found by checking the IUSE line
in any  ebuild  file.  I'm just not sure which ebuild to
look at. An explicit path to the ebuild file would possible
help.

Alternaively, somebody could post a minimized set of USE flags
for make.conf and elsewhere which allows iptable/netfilter

 and not much else... That would give me a minimized baseline
to build the firewall

 OK, My use flags in make.conf are:

 (note, I just added perl)
 
 How do I track down what USE flags to set, so that perl actually builds
 MakeMaker.pm?
 

As I said, it is the 'minimal' flag (the flag named 'minimal') that 
causes it, and it is indeed in your USE flags. Just remove it and you're 
done.

/etc/apache2/conf/commonapache2.conf.  The plus sign is supposed to
mean it will merge onto other directory entries.

There is another Directory entry in that stock file right above where
I inserted mine that looks like:

  Directory /
Options -All -Multiviews
AllowOverride None
IfModule mod_access.c
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from all
/IfModule
  /Directory

I thought maybe the minus sign on All would mean it was ruled out for
all options, so changed it to +.  It didn't work either way after 
  `/etc/init.d/apache2 restart'

The error is:

You don't have permission to access
/hpweb/TrainingVids/DigitalPhotography/ on this server.

However that directory has the same permissions as all others. (my

Put the All back as it was, and add an IfModule mod_access.c section to

The / Directory definition is preventing apache from accessing anything, later

   This is the composition of my system:
   Asus P5AD2 Deluxe Mainboard (Socket 775)
   Intel P4 3.4 Ghz (Hyperthreading - 2 virtual prozessors)
   2G system memory (DDR2 - 533 MHz, bios automatically overclocks to

   2x Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet Cards (on board)
   2x SATA-Harddisks (disks and controller work fine)

   Under SuSE Linux the driver sk98lin for the two ethernet cards works
   and exports eth0 and eth1, but when I booted the CD and manually
   modprobe sk98lin the driver, no ethernet cards were found.
   I found some other stuff about ASUS Mainboards on the Internet
   (sk98lin related), but it mostly didn't apply to my problem (I got NO

   Does somebody know what I could do?

The Apache process run as user apache(2?) and group apache so it will
only have access to directories owned by that user or group and who
have the appropriate permissions. The way my server is setup is that
the user who owns the vhost owns all the folders for that vhost then
the apache group also owns those folders and all files and folders
have 751 permissions. It looks something like:

var
L www
L vhost1 -- userb/apache (751)
L vhost 2 -- usera/apache (751)
L cgi-bin -- usera/apache (751)
L htdocs -- usera/apache (751)
|  L folder 1 -- usera/apache (751)
|  L folder 2 -- usera/apache (751)
|  L file 1 -- usera/apache (751)
L auth -- usera/apache (751)

Hopefully that explains what you are looking for, otherwise check out

Okay, I know the problem. The command you ran should actually return
nothing since you don't have any packages named kde installed. (It's a
bug that kde-env and kde-meta get returned)

Anyhow, the command you probably want to use is 'equery l kde.*' That
tells equery to return the list of all packages that are installed with
a name starting with 'kde'

You can also use 'equery l kde-base/.*' which will display any packages
that are installed from the kde-base category.

I'm not having any problems and I just rebuilt xorg-x11.  Are you x86 or

I'm running X86 - Thanks for replying. How would I force a Gnoe re-install?

Re: [gentoo-user] Athlon 64 time...

2005-10-04 Thread Preston Hagar
I have the nForce 4 based MSI K8N Neo4 with a Athlon 64 3700+ with 1GHz
FSB and have had no problems. I chickened out, however and
installed Gentoo x86 on it because I use the machine for QT software
development and didn't want to have to worry about 64 bit compatability
and all of the packages that are masked on amd64. Anyway, it is a
great machine as is. 

Preston

Is there anything I need to be aware of when trying to run Gentoo A64 onthis? The mobo is Nforce 4 based, is this likely to cause any issues?

You could either uninstall and reinstall:

emerge -Duv gnome-base/gnome-core

Or try the --newuse flag, which will for a recompile:

[gentoo-user] Latex spacing problem

2005-10-04 Thread Joseph
Is there any Tetex/Latex guru on the list?

I'm trying to modify the formation line in purchase_order.tex form.
I think this line is responsible how the entry items are formated:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]@{\extracolsep
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, the line above if the part number is long the description is
not wrap up to the next line.  Just the next columns are keep scrolling
to the right.
So,  text Amount Total scrolls of the page.

I've tried to copy the formating string from invoice.tex form (that
correctly wraps up the description column):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@{}}

but it doesn't work correctly.
Anybody knows what to change so when the part number is long, the
description section would wrap up to the next line.

I seem to recall some trick stuff done with .htaccess or the like that

 Anyone here know how that is done? 

 Thanks, but I'm not getting how its done.  Consulting the apache
 manual online I ended up thinking something like this should work in
 /etc/apache2/conf/commonapache2.conf.  The plus sign is supposed to
 mean it will merge onto other directory entries.

   Directory /hpweb/TrainingVids/DigitalPhotography
 Options +Indexes
   /Directory

Posting on the apache list got me an answer that seems to have solved
this.

It turns out that `Directory' refers to filesystem directories not
webroot.

I took the / in the original Directory entry to be a refernce
/var/www/localhost/htdocs  not to actual / (root) of fs.

So adding the rest of the path: 

  /var/www/localhost/htdocs/hpweb/TrainingVids/DigitalPhotography

Makes it work.  The whole entry now looks like:

  Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/hpweb
Options +All
IfModule mod_access.c
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all
/IfModule
  /Directory

I wanted All options turned on (which includes Indexes) since this
server only sees requests from local home lan.

Also I noticed that just including the parent dir is enough.
That is, just `[...]/hpweb' not hpweb/TrainingVids/DigitalPhotography

[gentoo-user] mozilla usage monitoring

2005-10-04 Thread Mark Knecht
Hi,
   My wife is asking how she can keep track of where our son is going
on the web. We're all Linux based. She can hang out here on her PC and
see that he's using mozilla from something simple like 'top', but whe
wants to be able to monitor where he goes and when he goes there.

   I know that big companies do this sort of thing, possibly through
their DNS servers, etc., but we don't run DNS here right now.

   How can she do this?

well, what the big companies do, is run squid, and point the users to it (or 
another proxy server).
You could also, assuming this is all local, is write a cron job that tars up 
the contents of his .mozilla directory periodically.

off the top of my head, you could either 1) use a traffic monitor. Not
ethereal, its too big!! something like tcpflow, piped to grep to print
out GET and POST lines.  You'd have to ssh to the actual machine if
you're using switches; or 2) use netstat, although this may only give
you hosts, and not full paths.

what I do for evil monitoring of MY kids (since i've got one mac and one

[gentoo-user] vmware 2.6.13-ck6 ipaq won't sync

2005-10-04 Thread Michael W. Holdeman
After upgrading from 2.6.11-ck8 to the 2.6.13-ck6, and selecting the usb 
comparable, and in fact I have run kdiff3 on teh .config  files from both 
kernels and don't really find any differences that should effect this. 

Symptom: VMWare workstation and activesync will not sync with my pocketPC if I 
am running the 2.6.1113 kernel, still works fine with teh 2.6.11. 

The best info I can find so far is this in dmesg, that did not appear in teh 
2.6.11 kernel:

usb 4-6.4: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usbfs while 'vmware-vmx' sets config 
#1

Any ideas??

Slight correction here...
The only reason above worked was because I had edited -All to +All in
main `Directory' entry.

Once the main directory entry was set to block all directories as
intended it is then necessary to specify exactly which dir at what
depth you want to change.
