It's not masked here, not even keyworded. But if you have added it to
package.mask yourself, it will be masked for you. Add packages to
package.unmass to override a global mask, but that isn't needed here. I
got no warnings when running

 emerge automake:1.4 -p

[gentoo-user] Compositing too slow in KDE

2011-03-19 Thread Mick
I don't often launch the full KDE DE, so was surprised when I just tried it 
and a pop up said:

Compositing was too slow and has been suspended.
If this was only a temporary problem, you can  

I can't see the rest of the message (it's hidden at the bottom of the screen).

How can I troubleshoot this?

Some digging around helped a bit - I switched in SystemSettings/Desktop 
Effects, the Compositing Type from OpenGL to XRender and now it does not 
suspend (although 'wobbly windows' and 'Desktop Cube Animation' are disabled.

In E17 which I use daily the compositing works fine, until I select OpenGL as 
the rendering engine and then it crashes horribly (won't even boot).

I have set up mesa to use gallium (if that makes any odds).  Is there anything 
else I need to configure to improve OpenGL performance (at least to stop it 
crashing)?

I have a Nvidia GT-220 card and I have mine set to OpenGL in Desktop 
Effects.  I did run into this once before tho, I went to a console, 
reloaded the nvidia modules, restarted X and it worked.  I'm not sure 
but I think I had upgraded the nvidia drivers or something and the above 
worked here


Is your card reasonably fast?  If it is at least the speed of mine, it 
should work since it works here.  Not sure how much is required tho.

[gentoo-user] Snort on multiple interfaces?

2011-03-19 Thread Konstantinos Agouros
Hi,

I would like to start snort on two interfaces of one box. Is
this possible? Googling found me the option of starting different
snort processes but since snort isn't exactly memory friendly I
would seek a different approach.

Regards,

Konstantin

I also have an ATI card and I do suffer the slow compositing. I solved
it by switching back to the classic Mesa (instead of Gallium).

Cheers,
