NFS read is about 30-34MB/s, writing is considerably slower with 15MB/s. So writing is a bit slow. But as i do not need fast storage i did not investigate. And it must be mentioned, that the whole data is in AES. Being AES should have a pretty dramatic impact right? or is it not decrypted and just bounced from one place to another? Yes AES has some impact. These are the speeds with de/encryption.

[gentoo-user] kdeprefix is broken?
Hello list, I emerged KDE-4.2 (RC first, final now) and Phonon wasn't getting any backend. No video, no sound. After recompiling KDE-4.2 with -kdeprefix, I see both Xine and Gstreamer listed as backends. So the question is: is kdeprefix a deprecated/not recommended/broken/unsupported feature? I never needed more than one KDE version at the same time, but I like to have it separate from the rest of the system. Thanks, Norberto

[gentoo-user] KDE-4.2 and KDE-3.5
Hi, I was tracking KDE-4.x for a while now while sticking to stable KDE-3.5, which in gentoo's case is 3.5.9. Trying to get KDE-4.2 installed spits out a blocker: [blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-startkde-3.5.10 (=kde-base/kdebase-startkde-3.5.10 is blocking kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.0) which for me means switching to *2* testing platforms (3.5.10 and 4.2) when I want to test only 1 (4.2). Now my question is: how safe is it to do a workaround, and create local version of kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.0-r1 ebuild (say, -r2) which removes the block and just stick with 3.5.9 on 3.5 side ?

[gentoo-user] [OT] Panning desktop on windows
This list may be too good for its own good... hehe. Sorry to bring this up here but in fact the behavior I'll describe in a moment is something I've learned to love from yrs of linux us with this enabled. Including the last few yrs on gentoo. I add this into xorg.conf in one of the display subsections (at the asterisks): Subsection Display Depth 24 Modes 1280x1024 #1024x768 800x600 640x480 ** Virtual 2048 1536 ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection I'm using a 17 inch monitor so that (in X) gives me a 2048x1536 virtual resolution in each of my virtual desktops. Bigger than my monitor a fair bit so I'm able to pan around this monster by mousing to the screen edges which pans the rest into view. Essentially the limits of the hardware desktop are only a port hole into the bigger virtual desktop. It can be very disconcerting to the uninitiated... which is a side benefit in that it keeps people off my machine. I use windowsXP a fair bit for video editing (I'm a semi-pro editor and produce quite a few videos of events) and I find the tools on linux are too labor and time intensive compared to the adobe tools available on windows. Even those tools and others like Vegas are hard to learn and require a lot of time spent in usage to get at all fast with them. (Please don't bring up one or another of the available emulations as that still introduces another layer of complexity) Anyway cutting to the chase here... given that I need to spend a good bit of time on windows... I sorely miss my huge virtual desktop. So wondering if any of you fellow part time windows users know of or have heard of any kind of application for windows that would allow such behavior? ps- I've also asked this question on the main microsoft.public.windowsXP.bla.bla group. (in case you were thinking of suggesting that)

[gentoo-user] Multiple ISPs into a Gentoo box
I'm hurting on cable bandwidth during contention periods and I'm wondering about installing a DSL line as well. Has anyone put something like that together? Can I make use of the combined bandwidth and not just the redundancy? I found some Ubuntu docs here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-521386.html but I'm wondering if there is anything resembling a Gentoo way. - Grant

Essentially the limits of the hardware desktop are only a port hole into the bigger virtual desktop. This is definitely available on Windows using 3rd-party apps. I'm pretty sure that - years ago - Matrox used to offer to install some utility when you installed their graphics drivers; the utility had a little icon that sat next to the clock, and when you double- clicked on it it opened a configuration window that offered options like this. Nvidia offer some really nice display utilities (or enhanced driver or whatever you want to call it) these days. I would consider their dual-head options worth the price of a graphics card, so I would see if you can try them out somewhere see if it offers this functionality. Stroller.

[gentoo-user] /dev/rtc = rtc0
Hi, I know nothing of this part of the Linux boot process. If it's *fairly* simple can someone point me at the right stuff to understand how Gentoo creates a link from /dev/rtc to rtc0? When in the boot process does this link become valid? Is it something that's held in a file and recreated from that file on each boot? Is it created automagically by Gentoo Angels that look after my well being but seldom reveal themselves? Is it created by the kernel itself when something is specifically configured to do so? Something else?

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: wlan0 promiscuous mode
Do you know if there is an equivalent destroy command for ifconfig or iwconfig since wlanconfig is a madwifi tool? 'ifconfig wlan0 destroy' doesn't work and I tried 'ifconfig wlan0 down'. 'airmon-ng start wlan0' does put wlan0 into monitor mode (as verified by 'ifconfig') but I don't get any airodump-ng results unless net.wlan0 is started. - Grant 'airmon-ng stop wlan0' should just exit monitor mode. 'airmon-ng start wlan0' creates a new device (mon0 or phy0 or something), and 'airmon-ng stop wlan0' will remove it. That all works great, the problem is it only works when net.wlan0 is started. I'm told I: need to load the modules and setup the interface for your card because that's probably what net.wlan0 does. I tried to look through net.wlan0 but I'm lost in there. Any idea what I might need to do that net.wlan0 usually does for me? - Grant

The other problem was that since it was a module and apparently I didn't load that module the command hwclock -r failed. I've reconfigured the kernel and will build it and test after I get finished with an emerge -e world later today. Thanks for the response. Hope this info helps someone else in the future.

Hi, after changing some use and removing some packages from /etc/portage/package.keywords, I get this error when I run wicd aplication (gtk based). I tried to rebuild pygtk, but did not help. I only found some old solution in forums, talking about python 2.4. I'm on python 2.5.2. An other curious thing is this: # /etc/init.d/xdm restart * Stopping xdm ... /sbin/start-stop-daemon: stat /usr/bin/xdm: No such file or directory (No such file or directory) [ ok ] * Setting up xdm ... start-stop-daemon: stat /usr/bin/xdm: No such file or directory (No such file or directory) * ERROR: could not start the Display Manager my xdm is not in my system Maybe I have corrupted something removing packages from package.keywords/use... but revdep-rebuild has nothing to do and : # emerge -DNp world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

[gentoo-user] When did bzImage move?
Hi, I just rebuilt a newer kernel and noticed something. It seems bzImage has moved from arch/i386/boot/bzImage to arch/x86/boot/bzImage. When did this happen? Is x86 the same as i386? I'm just wanting to make sure I am not going to blow up something when I boot that thing. Thanks Dale :-) :-)

That way you get a nice vmlinuz symlink to the latest kernel and vmlinuz.old to the older one - and you never have to touch grub.conf again.

now I have these:

to the latest and vmlinuz.old symlink to the previous installed one.
To be precise, the config option CONFIG_LOCALVERSION appends a string to
the end of the kernel version, which installkernel uses to place the
kernel image.
If /boot/vmlinuz exists, then it is moved to /boot/vmlinuz.old, and a
*symlink* from /boot/vmlinuz is created to vmlinuz-${VERSION}. If
/boot/vmlinuz did *not* exist before installation, then no symlink is
created. installkernel also copies your .config to
/boot/config-${VERSION}, performing the same move and symlink operation.
In addition, if you *do* install the same kernel version twice, it will
move your old version out of the way (to vmlinuz-${VERSION}.old) first,
so even if you do forget to update your .config, you will still have
both kernels.
To see exactly what make install does, read /sbin/installkernel (a
/bin/sh script), as that's all `make install` calls (well, it first
checks for ~/bin/${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel, and calls it, if it
exists, which allows you to customize the installation process).
Personally, I will set CONFIG_LOCALVERSION to .# or -r0.# on a
second+ compilation of the same kernel version. (My current kernel is
2.6.28-gentoo-r1.2).
