[gentoo-user] [OT] network question
I had a buddy in my lan with whom I shared files and such. But recently our campus network management decided to give our my dorm building another external ip, and put a firewall( I think) between us. So now instead of both of us having the same 141.85.0.75 I now have 141.85.0.76. So my question is, being a n00b and all, what can I use in order to restore the direct connection? I asked my only physical present network admin but apparently his only role is pugin computers in switches and give us an ip so he doesn't know nothing. I did a nmap on the gateway but I've only found 53/tcp open. I wouldn't wanna revert to skype or other 3rd party computers since, I guess, it will segnificantlly lower our transfer speeds, requier bothe our presence...etc. So what way should I be heading here? Any advice is welcome!Thanks! -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Upgrade of dhcpcd
cut Hi, Try switching Off both '-zeroconf -vram'. From the dhcpcd-3.2.3 elog: elog * ZeroConf support enabled elog * DUID support enabled elog * You have installed dhcpcd with zeroconf support. elog * This means that it will always obtain an IP address even if no elog * DHCP server can be contacted, which will break any existing elog * failover support you may have configured in your net configuration. elog * This behaviour can be controlled with the -L flag. elog * See the dhcpcd man page for more details. elog * You have installed dhcpcd with DUID support. elog * This means that we will generate a DUID in /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.duid elog * This is generated from a MAC address of the card and a timestamp. elog * It will be used in every subsequent DHCP transaction, along with a IAID elog * in the ClientID option. This is required by RFC 4361. elog * Some DHCP server implementations require a MAC address only in the elog * ClientID field. These DHCP servers should be updated to be RFC elog * conformant. If you cannot do this, you can revert to the old elog * behaviour by using the -I '' option OR building dhcpcd with the elog * vram USE flag enabled. ...end... HTH.

[gentoo-user] x264 encoding Cache64
Hello all, I recently upgraded HandBrake on my mythbackend server to 0.9.2. One thing I noticed that I thought was strange was that this new version used something called Cache64 when encoding x264 video. Trusty Google was... not so helpful in finding out what this is. The only reason I'm asking is because I don't understand why a 32-bit dual CPU Xeon system (P4 variety) uses this extension and my Athlon X2 doesn't. I don't see anything resembling this extension in /proc/cpuinfo (on either machine,) and so I'm left wondering what it is. Also, I happen to know that my Athlon X2 has pni, aka SSE3, and yet when I compile HandBrake it doesn't make use of this (while taking advantage of SSE3 on C2D systems.) I was wondering if this was simply because I didn't have pni in my USE flags, or whether this could be caused by something else. HandBrake uses jam to build, so would I have to compile jam with SSE3 support for things it builds to use them? As always, all help is appreciated, no matter how biased it may be. ;-) -Hal -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Probably he could help you, although he seems busy with other things at the moment. Regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

IIRC, the ivtv builds are linked to the kernel version - older kernels require you to use older ivtv builds. For example, kernel 2.6.19.* will take ivtv 0.9, while kernel 2.6.18.* takes ivtv 0.8. ivtv 1.0.* has worked for any kernel since 2.6.21, so unless you plan on downgrading below that, you should stick with 1.0. -Tim -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
