Re: [gentoo-user] How can I control ttyS0 respawning speed?

I do not like waiting 5min to log in, after I restarted server... Don't know the answer to yr question. But I'm also not sure if you're asking the right question. When I last saw respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes, it was actually an issue with the spawned process not being able to start. I'm therefore suggesting you'd want to consider checking why agetty cannot run, rather than working around init's behavior. Amit You may be right, but I did not find any clue as why is agetty spawning too fast. I just noticed it happens only during boot-up, with probability about 1:5. Maybe some starting processes are conflicting with agetty. I do not think it is very serious problem, as agetty on ttyS0 is always respawned after those 5min. All I want is to reduce somehow those 5min time... Jarry Well then, as far as I can see, the 5 min. timeout is hard-coded in /sbin/init. Amit

Check that you have disabled 802.11b on your router, or you may find that an adjacent client who's running 802.11b will drag your router down to 11Mb/s max (the actual throughput will be lower). While you're experiencing the lower downloads you can run iwlist iface scan to see the speed at which your NIC is connecting at.

[gentoo-user] elogviewer and something odd with equery
Hi folks,
I have had elogv and elogviewer installed for a while. I only use it on
occasion but when I tried to use it the other day I get this little
error message:

I re-emerged python, everything gtk and elogviewer itself but still get
this error. I thought I would remove it and then install it again to
get a fresh start. Well before I remove anything I always check to see
what is installed first and I get this from equery:
r...@smoker / # equery list -p elog*
* Searching for elog* ...

According to that, I have two copies of the same version installed.
Huh? Then I notice the same for elogv. Double huh? Well, I emerge -C
the thing then run the equery command again. They are both gone so I
think this is a improvement at least. I then install elogviewer again.
It shows two copies installed again just like above.
So, it appears elogviewer has some issues but equery seems to have a
weird streak as well. I'm not sure which to tackle first. By the way,
elogv works fine. The logs show up but I prefer
