I used to run gcc-4.0.3 and latest glibc (don't remember the version
number) some time ago.. But now running gcc-4.1.0 and glibc-2.4-r2.. No
problems with both..

 Any hurdles to leap?

Well except doing a emerge -e system  emerge -e world after upgrading 
to gcc-4.x, no hurdles to leap.. :)

 You don't need the audio-cable to hear music from a cd - just the right

 Oh yeah, you really don`t need the cable, it just makes things easier,
 because it will work with all applications, won`t send data using the
 system bus neither process it using the CPU, the CD drive will do all
 the work and send output directly to the soundcard, the volume manager
 of the soundcard with the CD audio label will work and some other
 benefits.

 But that`s just me. I want my hardware to do the stuff it should.

With a cable, you will (at least with some/most sound cards) have a
digital-analog conversion in the drive, an analog-digital conversion in
the sound card, and another digital-analog conversion on output from the
sound card.

With digital extraction you will just have the last digital-analog
conversion. Guess what sounds best.

A third option: most drives have a digital output connector, and most
sound cards have a digital input connector.

What is slow about it?  Just the startup or the use of applications or
both?  One thing I noticed is memory usage and swap can kill
performance.  You can run free to see how much memory/swap you have in

[gentoo-user] OT - Need help with NAT

2006-05-09 Thread Mrugesh Karnik

Hi,

I have been having trouble forwarding packets using iptables on my 
Gentoo box. I am no iptables expert.

I connect to the internet using rp-pppoe. I use firestarter for 
firewalling. Yesterday I installed VMware and chose host only 
networking between the VMs. vmnet0 was bound to 192.168.128.1 and the 
rest of the subnet being 192.168.128.0/24.

As should be obvious by now, I need to forward packets from ppp0 to 
vmnet0 and allow outbound packets as well.

I chose vmnet0 to be the adaptor connected to my LAN and enabled 
Internet Connection Sharing in Firestarter. I could ping my virtual 
hosts and do ssh and telnet, but I couldn't access the internet from 
those hosts.

I also tried the Gentoo Home Router Guide. But to no avail. I still 
couldn't have the hosts access the internet.

I have had this problem with actual physical LAN too. I haven't been 
able to allow any of the LAN hosts to connect to the internet through 
my Gentoo box.

Could someone help me?

Thank you.

 After this, I find quite odd you have to be root to mount a USB stick.
 I've never had to be root to do it.
 
 My /etc/fstab says:
 /dev/sdb1   /mnt/removable  vfat  noauto,async,user,exec 0  0
 and I can mount it as a user just by clicking on its icon on
Konqueror,
 for example.
 
 I think what you really need, however, is not automount but maybe HAL.
 Check in the wiki and/or docs for info, and don't run away in fear if
 you see some page of instruction... after all, you're using Gentoo! :)

[Timothy A. Holmes] 

HI

Thanks for the response -- I tried the additional stuff in /etc/fstab
that you mentioned and when I hook up the usb drive and type /mount/sda1
/mnt/flash -- I get 

You must be root to mount

I don't know whats up with it.  I appreciate the suggestion though -- at
this point, I guess its gonna take more troubleshooting time than I have
to spend, so I will back burner it for a while till the workload eases
up a bit -- I was hoping it was a simple setting change. I don't fear
pages of instructions at all, I truly enjoy it, the problem is more the
amount of time taken to execute what I want - -I have a number of really
pressing problems right now that im working on, so I will fiddle with
this later.

 Search this mailing list over the last week or so.  At least three
 different threads asked exactly the same Q re: mounting USB CFs.
 
 Consider HAL, ivman if you want automounting of CFs and eventually
 decide to bother setting it up (it's not that difficult).
 
 Another thread over the last two weeks or so, explained what entries
 you need in your xorg.conf to manage your screen.  (Hint: check man
 xorg.conf for Option SuspendTime, or  DPMS off , etc.  Also,
 consider setting up your /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf if you want to
 do the same thing manually.
 
 Sorry, I can't help with the VPN set up.  I recall reading about it in
 Gentoo Wiki if I'm not wrong.
 
 An equivalent to hyperterm is minicom.  If you want an alternative to
 a telnet client (and you would rather use something more secure than
 telnet) then try ssh.

Hi Mick - thanks for the response - I checked into the stuff from that
earlier thread, inserted the entries specified, and it did no good at
all, im beginning to suspect that it is something to do with the gateway
bios, as all my gateway gentoo machines do it, and none respond to the
commands in xorg.conf.


Thanks for the tip on minicom -- I will look into that one for sure -- I
use SSH constantly, I need this connection only for switches and UPS
serial port connections -- they are a last backup in case the Ethernet
goes down

 Google for gentoo dbus or gentoo hal.  You want three programs.
 Hal, D-Bus and ivman.  Hal and gentoo are real easy, you basically
 emerge and have them start at boot.  ivman is the app that listens for
 events and will carry out actions in a nice and easy xml file.  There
is
 a system wide config and a per-user config.  You can tell it to launch
 totem/xine/mplayer if a DVD is inserted or mount your camera, usb key,
 etc.

  3. I need a good VPN Client with easy gui
  - right now our school has a VPN set up on the cisco pix that
  works beautifully with a Microsoft VPN connection on a windows box,
I
  need to be able to access this with my gentoo laptop as well
 
 I can't help here.  I have to use a Nortel VPN client.  Their Linux
 version just doesn't work.  I paid $100 for it!  My only option has
been
 to use VMWare and vpn into work that way.  I needed VMWare anyway for
MS
 Dev stuff.  I think I read somewhere that it is pretty easy to connect
 to ciso VPN with Linux.  A quick eix search shows these ebuilds:
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ eix -Ss -c cisco

 routersswitches

  4. I need to be able to use a USB to Serial dongle to talk to my
  switches -- the adapters that I have are Triplite ones and I do have
the
  driver disk for windows -- along with this, I need a good
communications
  program (equivalent to hyperterm ) to use with them to talk to my
  switches and to my UPS
 
 I never used one.  However I just compiled my kernel and there seems
to
 be a whole bunch.  Run make menuconfig and take a look at:
 
 Device Drivers - USB support - USB Serial Converter support
 
  Thanks folks - any pointers and/or suggestions are gladly welcomed

Hi Jim -- thanks for the response

The card mounting stuff looks good, but is gonna require more time than
I have right now to spend to set it up -- I will file it for future
refrence.

As far as the VPN Stuff - unfortunately, this is a cisco pix 501, and
from what I can tell, it doesn't use the standard protocols (sadly) I
tried the cisco client on another box and it just sat there and looked
at me

Thanks for the tip on the kernel stuff - I'll check into it when I do my
next kernel build -- (something I avoid like the plague) --

If you specify both the device and the mount point, mount will use those
instead of fstab, so you need to be route. if you only specify one of

 Oh yeah, you really don`t need the cable, it just makes things easier,

 the work and send output directly to the soundcard, the volume manager
 of the soundcard with the CD audio label will work and some other
 benefits.

 But that`s just me. I want my hardware to do the stuff it should.

With a cable, you will (at least with some/most sound cards) have a
digital-analog conversion in the drive, an analog-digital conversion in
the sound card, and another digital-analog conversion on output from the
sound card.

With digital extraction you will just have the last digital-analog
conversion. Guess what sounds best.

A third option: most drives have a digital output connector, and most
sound cards have a digital input connector.

Wrong. Sound is by nature analog. The soundcard does nothing, as the
CD drive reads the digital audio and the DAC of the CD drive itself
converts it to analog, passing it directly to the soundcard, that send
it right to the speakers with a little amp or not. As the DAC of the
CD drive has nothing to do anyway, that is hardware doying what it
should.

Check it:
http://img.tfd.com/cde/DIGAUDEX.GIF

If you get the data digitally, you CD drive sends it directly, over
the system bus/digital cable, and your CPU/Soundcard PU must convert
it to analog audio (because your speakers still can't do it (at least
mine), with most modern boards and on-board audio cards, the soundcard
uses the CPU, so, yes, it uses a few cycles. I really don't care how
much, all I can say is that there's one more Interruption Request, and
I like my FPS at top.

[gentoo-user] Shutdown pauses partway with Give root password

Resending ... anyone have a clue as to why the Give root password for
maintenance ... prompt would come up occasionally at shutdown time?



Well, this is weird.

We've all seen Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to
continue):, usually after an unclean shutdown.

I'm getting it on shutdown itself. I've never even heard of this, and
searching google I haven't found any reference to it.

It isn't happening every time - it'll go 2 or 3 or 6  (but certainly not
4 or 5 :b) times with clean predictable shutdowns. I can't tell that
anything is different in the times I shutdown fails - there aren't any
symptoms of any misbehaviour until the message itself.

This is a home theatre PC running MythTV.  Frontend only, so there are
no fancy drivers in the system, just video (nvidia 8756 driver), sound
(snd_hda_intel), and lirc with streamzap.  System was build from scratch
for this purpose, recently, so it is pretty up to date.  P4 with
hyperthreading. Normally runs with no keyboard or mouse or VGA, only an
SVIDEO-out from an NVidia card. BIOS has obviously been set to ignore
post errors given the lack of keyboard.

Myth running or not running is irrelevant, I've seen the shutdown
problem in both situations.

I've also seen the problem whether shutting down with a quick press to
the power button, or using ssh to run a shutdown command.

Here's a sequence:
  - press power button
  - this is presumably caught by acpid, which turns it into an init 0
command
  - hdd lights blink, eventually X is stopped
  - when X stops, that initial login prompt that came out before X
started is now displayed again, and right there I get the Give root
password ... prompt.

Sometimes the svideo-out console hasn't been restored so I can't see any
of this, it is only on a connected monitor (if there is a connected
monitor). Usually the svideo-out console is restored on X shutdown, so
this does in fact display.

After this happened a few times and didn't seem to be going away on its
own :) I grumbled, dug up a keyboard and plugged it in, entered the root
password.

The log shows ntpd, sshd and syslog-ng shutdowns. There are no messages
following the syslog-ng shutdown. :)

ifconfig returns nothing.

runlevel says 3 0

rc-status exhibits poor grammar * Could not local current runlevel in
/var/lib/init.d/softlevel * Assuming current runlevel is 'single'
Sure enough, there is no softlevel file at this point in a partway
shutdown system.

df shows local partitions (/, /var, /usr) still mounted, and the sole
NFS mount has been taken down. local partitions are all ext2, no lvm or
anything fancy.

kernel is 2.6.16-gentoo-r3
System is vanilla, except for ~x86 keywords on nvidia-kernel and
nvidia-driver to get the recent 8756 versions.

Any suggestions on how to further debug? Or suggestions as to what may
be going on?

Thanks,

glen

[gentoo-user] mail to this list from home fails, but from home relayed through ISP works

This isn't the case of subscribing through work and sending from home or
whatever. In both cases I sent from home, indeed from the same account
in the same mail client. Only the path the message took to
list.gentoo.org changed.

I hadn't posted to this for quite a while until recently. When I did so
again a few days ago, the message hung up in my outgoing queue and I got
this message in the log:

May  7 16:09:56 texada postfix/smtp[23864]: 7D46150B55:

timeout on connection from m198-163.dsl.rawbw.com,
from=[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in reply to end of DATA command))

I let it stew for a couple of hours in case this was a greylist thing,
and subsequent resends did the same thing.

I switched my client to relay though my ISP's MX, and the message went
through fine.

I'm guessing I'm running afoul of some anti-spam measure. Perhaps it is
a case of reverse-DNS points to my ISP and not to my own domain, but a
near-infinite number of people must share that condition.  Or maybe my
mailer is just misconfigured in some narrow way that none of my
correspondents have had trouble with until now.

I'd like to fix my system and lose the outbound relay, having something
of an ideological opposition to my mail going through relays. Does
anyone know what is going on here?

[gentoo-user] Network UPS Tools (NUT)

2006-05-09 Thread Uwe Thiem

Hi folks,

anybody using them? If so I have got a question.

Except one thing, everything is handled fine by gentoo's start-up scripts. The 
exception is this: If NUT shuts the box down, a flag /etc/killpower is 
created. At the end of the shutdown process this flag determines whether the 
UPS itself is to be switched of by software. That is supposed to avoid 
complete depletion of the UPS - maybe by a monitor plugged into it directly.

It seems to me that this flag never gets removed. So a manual halt also 
tries to switch off the UPS which might not be intended.

Anybody else seeing this?

OK. That is how I have had it setup.  The Pentium M will go down to 800 
MHz and stay there and jump to 1.73 GHz from time to time.   I do change 
the governor to performance when I run VMWare and then drop it back down

That's sulogin. Did you mess up your /etc/inittab (like uncommenting

But I rather guess its an unclean umount and sulogin is spawned
from /etc/init.d/halt.sh (l.189). Maybe you can cat your /proc/mounts

There are many drivers in the kernel. They've got a category among other USB

RE: [gentoo-user] A couple projects on my laptop

One Additional Question:

when I go to shut down the laptop, the shutdown command will not work
from my regular user, I have to su to be able to shutdown -- I use
fluxbox, and I know this works properly in gnome/kde,  I was just
wondering if there was a way it could be made to work in fluxbox -- I
don't mind opening a terminal and typing the command, I would, like to
be able to avoid having to su though

[gentoo-user] LVM2 Problems

2006-05-09 Thread bm2600

Hi,

I recently synced my Gentoo (2.6.7-gentoo-r13) and after emerging
updated ebuilds, sure lvm2 was one of them and a reboot I lost my
mounted fs.

Fortunately I do not have / (root) under LVM however all efforts so far
haven't brought my fs back:

 That's sulogin. Did you mess up your /etc/inittab (like uncommenting
 that line referring to sulogin)?
   
Nope, I don't recall ever changing that file on this system, and
checking I find that this line is still commented. Though that would
probably have been a problem. :)
 But I rather guess its an unclean umount and sulogin is spawned
 from /etc/init.d/halt.sh (l.189). 
   
Possibly. Looking at that file it seems as if there's a 10 second(?)
timeout on sulogin spawned from halt.sh. This one doesn't go away in any
reasonable period of time. Also it looks as if there should be some
messages about remounting and such before that sulogin would spawn, and
I don't see such messages (presuming they should show up on this console).

If it is starting from halt.sh, is there any chance this could be a race
condition thing, in which some processes aren't fully shut down yet when
halt tries to umount?
 Maybe you can cat your /proc/mounts
 next time you're in that single-user mode? It might make things more
 clear...
I'll try this.

Thanks for the suggestions,

[gentoo-user] USB weirdness

2006-05-09 Thread Dmitry S. Makovey


Is it my problem or is it a generic problem:

My install of Gentoo (2006.0 profile with latest versions of 
gentoo-kernel etc.) doesn't recognize events happening on USB bus. 
i.e.: in order to use my multicard reader it has to be plugged in 
upon boot - otherwise it's not recognized. Furthermore - if I unplug 
it and plug it back in - can't get to device at all. 

I checked to have coldplug and hotplug to be activated/deactivated on 
boot etc. and all combination I've tried didn't help. I also tried to 
enable USB debugging checking if there is any data comming from USB 
and it seems like nothing is comming in. Same CardReader works fine 
with Offtopic OS just fine it seems.

Actually same happened to my PDA (Sony Clie) - after I unplug 
cardreader - Gentoo wouldn't recognize my PDA being plugged in on 
same USB. At some point (I think it was before switching to 2.6 
kernel) it all worked just fine.

In case if this is of any relevance - my MB is Tyan Tiger MP 2460, my 
card reader is Lacie 6-in-1.

Genkernel copies the file into /boot/ BUT names the System.map as
System.map-genkernel-x86-2.6.xx-gentoo-rx so all you need to do is
copy/rename this file as System.map (note the capital S) and everything
should be fine.

I'm not sure what impacts/problems arise out of not having a System.map
file but having fixed the problem on my own computers I haven't

3 power cycles later I duplicated the problem. Here is /proc/mounts,
transcribed by hand. There is nothing obvious wrong here (to me) except
that the filesystems are still rw.

/proc/mounts:
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / ext2 rw,noatime,nogrpid 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
/dev/hda6 /usr ext2 rw,noatime,nogrpid 0 0
/dev/hda7 /var ext2 rw,noatime,nogrpid 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0

At this point, I manually remounted the 3 local partitions ro
mount -n -o remount,ro /
etc
which went cleanly, and /proc/mounts now shows them ro.

Is there any chance this could be a race condition thing, in which some 
processes aren't fully shut down yet when
halt.sh tries to umount or remount? But they're all shut down now (a couple of 
minutes later) so the remounts go cleanly?

Finally, after remounting the partitions (above), I pressed Ctrl-D to kill the 
sulogin shell, and the machine rebooted. It didn't power off, as I might have 
expected.

Yes you should get much faster startup times of Gnome 2.14 than that. 
My laptop is a Pentium M 1.73 GHz, 1 GB memory and a 5400 RPM SATA 
laptop drive.  From startx to complete Gnome is only about 5 seconds or 
so.  On my AMD64 3200+ with 2 GB and pretty fast SATA II I get in Gnome

The kernel should be able to find System.map whether it is named 
System.map or System.map-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 or whatever your kernel is. 
Each kernel usually has it's own different System.map so the latter 
naming scheme is preferred.
I have tried both on different (but only) gentoo kernels and still they 
complain about not finding it. The kernel itself should not need the 
file as it should be aware of it's own symbols memory addresses, but 
some programs like ps do need it.

So these are the questions to people wiser than me:
1. Is this a vanilla or gentoo kernel specific issue?
2. Does the kernel itself actually need the file?
3. Are programs like ps able to find the file themselves as they seem to 
work?

 rightly so. Just use your ISP's SMTP server as a smarthost.
   
I should certainly expect that for a relay, in which I address a message
to a name not only the MX, but does a mailing list count as a relay?
Certainly this is the only mailing list I've encountered to-date with
such a restriction, and I participate in several. And while I totally
get this for dial-up, my DSL has a static IP - I've had this number
longer than many companies in this post-dot-bomb world.

Indeed I can use my ISP as a smarthost, and in fact am currently doing
so out of necessity. It just bothers me. Privacy is not enhanced by
having my mail sitting on servers neither I nor the recipient control,
and while I don't want any particular privacy for messages to this list,
sending all my mail through the smarthost seems wrong.

Per-destination smarthost? Blech. :)

I apologise if I sound grumpy about this issue, and do thank you for the

Re: [gentoo-user] LVM2 Problems

2006-05-09 Thread Jure Varlec

I've never seen this issue, so I may not be the right person to give advice 
here. But at a glance, it looks like lvm and device-mapper are incompatible 
or something similar. If I were in your place I would try differrent versions 
of lvm2, device-mapper and/or kernel.

FYI, my configuration works with kernel 2.6.16-r1,
device-mapper 1.02.03 and lvm2 2.02.05.

My guess is a conflict between the device-mapper version and your
kernel.  2.6.7 is quite ancient, and looking through
/usr/share/doc/device-mapper-1.02.05/WHATS_NEW.gz, there were a lot of
changes to how the device nodes are created in the last couple of
years.  Possibly one of those changes broke backwards compatibility.

[gentoo-user] emerge problem.

2006-05-09 Thread Wagoner, Darryl

Greetings,

I am trying to get my team to switch to Gentoo from RH and I wanted to setup
a http-replicator to avoid pulling all the packages over and over again.

Once I did this then all of sudden emerge started to fail with:

!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!!/usr/portage/distfiles/ruby-1.8.4.tar.gz
!!! Reason: Failed on MD5 verification

Doesn't really matter what package is being installed.  I have tried doing
a web-sync.

What has happen and how can I debug it?

Use visudo to edit /etc/sudoers, don't edit it directly.

Re: [gentoo-user] national keyboard in open office

2006-05-09 Thread Dave Jones

Pawel K wrote on 09/05/06 17:28:

Does composing the Polish characters work for you
under applications such as Mozilla Thunderbird?
What specific Polish characters are you missing, and
how do normally compose them?

It sounds as if you want to be able to produce accented characters such
as ÁÉÍÓÚ áéíóú ÀÈÌÒÙ àèìòù ÄËÏÖÜ äëïöü. Am I right in this assumption?

Unfortunately I can't type Polish charecters under
mozilla as well (tried both pl_PL and pl_PL.utf8). I
expect to use right ALT + character e.g. right ALT +
o should result with ó and now it results with just
o both in Mozilla and OpenOffice. Left ALT + o opens
F'o'rmat menu under OpenOffice.

Unfortunately, I don't know how much the Polish keyboard differs from
the us_intl layout. This might be a stupid suggestion, but try defining
your keyboard XkbLayout as us_intl.

Using the us_intl XkbLayout, typing the accented characters you want
works by hitting a quote ' and o to produce ó, without needing AltGr
(right Alt) pressed. Hitting ` and o produces an ò, and o produces ö,
all without AltGr pressed. To produce a single ' or you need to hit
' or followed by a space.

For some strange reason, on my system OpenOffice seems to need the
locale set to utf8 to work properly with international keyboard layouts.
Without it, the ' and keys are dead, working only with AltGr pressed.

I don't understand why, but since I changed my locale to en_US.utf8, the
quote keys and Open Office work perfectly.

While configuring xorg with xorgconfig I've chosen the
following options:

Please answer the following question with either 'y'
or 'n'. Do you want to select additional XKB options
(group switcher, group indicator, etc.)? y

Group Shift/Lock behavior:
1 Right Alt key switches group while pressed

I have none of these options set in my xorg.conf, just XkbLayout set to
us_intl, nothing specified for (no)deadkeys or group switching either.

You could try this in your xorg.conf:

Section InputDevice
Identifier Keyboard0
Driver kbd
Option AutoRepeat500 30
Option CoreKeyboard
Option XkbModel pc105
Option XkbLayout us_intl
EndSection

After restarting X, try this from a xterm command prompt:

LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 oowriter2

Try this, and let us know if this lets you to enter accented characters
in Open Office.

With or without LC_ALL specified, you should be able to enter accented
characters in Mozilla Thunderbird too with XkbLayout set to us_intl.

Cheers, Dave

I use gnome-terminal, as I use gnome. It has all the features I

I don't have a least favourite, as I only use gnome-terminal. No

E-Term is pretty and extensible and thememable too. I like the kde
terminal program also because of the tabs you can have on the bottom to
open multiple, discreet sessions. It really comes down to what you become

Sync one of the machines and use RSYNC locally:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror

Also you can use NFS to mount /usr/portage/distfiles over the network
avoiding downloading the same file twice and ensuring that once any
machine download it, it will be available to the others.

You can use Portage Binhost
(http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_setup_a_PORTAGE_BINHOST_server and
http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Using_PORTAGE_BINHOST) if you have same
arch and compiler (I personally gave up some optimizations and ended
up using gcc 586 on all machines) to save some compile time (a lot),
also setup distcc (if you have slow machines) and ccache (that is VERY
GOOD, I also mount its dir over NFS /var/tmp/ccache, so all machines
benefit from it).

I use yakuake. It's the the best drop-down terminal I've ever used, and I 
believe I tried almost all of them (there really aren't many). Off the top of 
my head, I recall yeahconsole and kuake. There's also tilda, but I never 
tried it.

yeahconsole is good if you want as few dependencies as possible. It's 
basically xterm wrapped in a hidable window, although it seems to be missing 
some functionality (e.g. unicode support, at least back when I used it). 
Also, you need to use screen if you want to make it really useful, which 
isn't bad, of course,  but lack of tabs is lack of features nonetheless :) . 
Also, I had to hack source in order to change some configuration, can't 
remember what.

kuake is rather out-of-date and has been superseded by yakuake. While both are 
wrappers for KDE's konsole, the latter is noticeably faster and has more 
features. Most important, it has tabs and is also more configurable regarding 
focus policy (whether it retracts when it loses focus). The only thing it 
currently lacks and would really be useful is emacs-like tiling. It would 
basically make it a retractable set of terminals. It would make copypaste 
easier. But tab switching is actually quick enough to compensate for this 
lacking.

Removing this feature fixes this problem, but its in fact an
workaround, the strict feature avoid security flaws and should be

this kind of problem.

At home I use rxvt. Simple, very fast on startup.

At work I use konsole. I like the session thing it has and the tabs, 
since I use a lot of interactive shell apps like python-ipython-octave 
at work they often comes quite handy.

I use gnome-terminal because it has tabs and color. I used to use
multi-terminal, but I switched a long time ago because I found that
gnome-terminal was more stable. I rarely (if ever) use xterm because its
look-and-feel is so outdated and it doesn't support tabs.

In that operating system masquerading as an editor (XEmacs), I use
shell-mode because I can use all the power of a customizable and
programmable visual editor on shell commands and output. (I just

I use xterm when no other choice left, else Eterm and aterm, aterm is
cool because of transparency, Eterm because it sets bg on fluxbox and
I like its look and features. Tabs are not a problem since fluxbox

I use konsole, for no other reason than it is the default in my

AFAIK if it works properly there should be only warnings similar

Check also if command above creates file foo.xkm and what size it

Daniel,

Right now mirroring is of secondary concern.  Nothing I have done so far
will allow me to install new packages.  I always get the md5 verification 
error.

I tried the FEATURES=-strict but that didn't help.

Does portage use md5sum to compute the hash?  Either the local md5sum has a bug,
the hash from the mirror is wrong, or there is a bug in the script.

I think the problem started when I ran the repcacheman from http-replicator.

I would really like to get back to where I was.

 Hello list,
 
 Following closely the instrunctions on the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook, I
 installed gentoo recently (info below) and just did the first reboot
 before finalizing the installation. All worked except for this message
 during boot
 
 System.map not found - unable to check symbols.

Well I had the same problem some time before. I'm using ~x86 tree and
after a update it was solved. I don't remember which package was causing
the problem. But I'm sure it's some init script. It's not a kernel
problem. I now have no problems.

But here's my logic as to why this warning shows up. According to
/etc/fstab, /boot partition does not get auto mounted during boot up, so
the init script can't find /boot/System.map (/boot being the folder, an
empty on in /)

 which doesn't seem to cause problems during/after booting (??).

Don't worry.. It wont cause no harm, except for the annoying warning..

 I did a manual kernel compilation and the handbook didn't say anything
 about copying System.map to /boot. On a second attempt to reboot I did
 copied System.map to /boot. My grub.conf follows below. In /boot I have
 System.map and System.map-2.6.15.1 files (System.map is a soft link).

To make the warning disappear, simply copy /usr/src/linux/System.map to
/boot (don't mount the boot partition, i.e., make sure hda1 is *NOT*
mounted).. This should hopefully make the warning disappear.

Same here. I use no special terminal features at all, except the

I sometimes use screen when I need to be able to close an ssh session

It means there is an unresolved symbol in /usr/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0 -
you probably recently updated gdbm, and libaprutil needs to be rebuilt
against the new gdbm so's. Do a revdep-rebuild -p -v, you'll almost
definitely see some apr-related ebuilds on the list of broken packages
- then do a revdep-rebuild, once that is done, you should be good to
go.

Or, to just fix this one error now, and leave any other (potential)
issues for later, do an
equery belongs /usr/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0
and re-emerge the package that that reports as being the owner of
that file. If you don't have equery, emerge gentoolkit.

I've found it to be a little slow in X on older computers, but that could just be a poorly-configured system.

It can be really annoying if you overdo it, and you have to find the
right balance of opacity and colors (since lots of terminal stuff can
have syntax hilighting, especially vim).  Most of the time it doesn't

 IMO transparency is one of the most useless features.
True, it's not that usefull, but it does look nice. It provides a nice change of pace, so that way, when you're running a terminal in X, it doesn't look exactly like the regular shell. As far as making it harder to read, I've found it quite easy. If it conflicts with your background design, just change the text color. It is also possible to turn the transparency off, if needed.

That will happen when when your /boot is on a separate partition: it 
is not mounted (yet) when the kernel is looking for the System.map.

 1. Is this a vanilla or gentoo kernel specific issue?

Neither.  If you don't want it to complain, then copy the System.map 
also to /boot when it is unmounted (or to /, that will do too).

 2. Does the kernel itself actually need the file?

No.  Only when it oopses it will use the info to give a clearer 
message.

 3. Are programs like ps able to find the file themselves as they
 seem to work?

Does ps need System.map?  But if /boot is mounted during normal 
operation, then it'll be able to find it.  Maybe these programs 
are even 'cleverer' and also have a look in /usr/src/linux/?

As long as you have a compatible desktop wallpaper, a good set of
fonts and colors, it makes your desktop look great while helping
contrast on the fonts (shadow for example) if you configure it well.
Programming on a black or white background can become seriously
boring, while putting an image as terminal background makes you feel
like your desktop and terminal are two different worlds (it hurts my
eyes).

IMHO transparency is two on one, you set your desktop wallpaper and
your terms background at the same time.

Can you tell me, why you would want to use both tab and screen?


To seperate different screen sessions. I've often got
multiple screen sessions running on multiple servers.
And often I don't want to mix that.

Different example: On tab 1, I'm logged on to screen
on server 1 and show session 1. On tab 2, I'm logged
on to the same session and show session 2. Now it's
very easy to switch back and forth between those sessions -
even easier than ^A^A.

A different example, which has nothing to do with tabs,
but with running multiple terminals with one or multiple
screens: To *see* two sessions at once.

Screen also becomes somewhat harder to use, when you've
got more than 10 sessions in a screen, as you then cannot *as*
easily switch - or is there a way to easily switch to session
17? For 0 to 9, it's just ^A0 to ^A9 (or whatever the escape
character is set to). Granted - with gnome-terminal, it also
becomes clumsy to switch to sessions  10.

And no, even if it might be possible to change the size of the
screen so that two (or more) sessions can be shown


They
both serve the same purpose.


No, they don't. How does screen serve the purpose of seperating
sessions? Easy (contrived) example: On Console 1 I'm logged on
to server 1 and have my screen with some sessions. And on Console
2, I'm logged on to workstation 2 with some sessions. How do
you do that with just one screen?


Screen is much better to handle than the
tabs.


No, it isn't. But it's also not worse. It just doesn't
have anything to do with each other, as they serve different
purposes. And because of that, the best answer is: They
are different. Different things for different purposes are
different to handle.
