[gentoo-user] Problem with distcc and pump mode: failed to connect to unix-domain: Permission denied
Hello Gentoo fellows :-) I have a mysterious problem with distcc and pump mode. Actually, distcc is working here, but together with pump mode I get strange error messages and can't find a solution for it. For example I tried to install minitube on my notebook (the distcc client) by pump emerge minitube In the output of the make process for nearly every new file which should be processed the error message distcc[2815] ERROR: failed to connect to UNIX-DOMAIN /tmp/distcc-pump.boOiEs/socket: Permission denied distcc[2815] (dcc_build_somewhere) Warning: failed to get includes from include server, preprocessing locally occurs. So, if I get this right, pump mode is not used. Distcc itself is working, as my other PC is compiling something for the client, but I want to understand why pump mode is not used... /tmp/distcc-pump.boOiEs/socket is owned by root as you can see here: ls -l /tmp/distcc-pump.boOiEs/socket srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 10. Okt 09:55 socket The file /etc/distcc/hosts on my client looks like uwe-notebook/8,cpp,lzo 127.0.0.1/1 where uwe-notebook is the distccd server. In both /etc/portage/make.conf on the client and the server side I have FEATURES=preserve-libs sandbox ccache distcc parallel-fetch CCACHE_CPP2=1 CCACHE_DIR=/var/tmp/ccache The CFLAGS are not set to native for both machines but to nocona on the client and to core2 on the server side, as distcc is not working for native. Can anyone give me a clue? Ciao, Uwe
Re: [gentoo-user] what about my routing here ...
On the ipfire router. A quick google turns up commands like: ip route get IP and ip route list cache match IP and if a redirected route exists, it is labelled that way in the output of such commands. If this is happening, it will be triggered by any traffic is forwarded to 10.96.25.1. Also, it shouldnt cause any problems. Other than a traceroute output not quite being what you expect, is there any problem? If everything's good dont worry about it (unless your curiosity is piqued).

I just wrote my related questions to my contact there and wait for him to forward them to the internal network admins. Maybe the routing back to their IPSEC-gw is flaky or something ... S

[gentoo-user] vmware-player cannot start any virtual machines [solved]
Hi, After upgrading to nvidia-drivers-331.13 I could no longer start any virtual machines in vmware-player (version 5.0.2.1031769). It would either close the vmware player application immediately without any message, or would tell me The virtual machine is busy. No combination of rebuilding vmware modules, rebooting, moving virtual machines, etc. would work. Finally I considered what has changed recently, and identified nvidia-drivers. Downgrading it back down to version 325.15 made everything start working normally again. Just thought I would post here in case anyone else runs into the same problem. Thanks, Paul

I don't plan to stay with 3.8.13, this is just an intermediate step to get a working config. For now I don't have any more lost hpet interrupts etc and the LAN speed is fine. Emerging packages as well ... From this config I will then try 3.10.7-r1 again.

Right. This is one of the more significant features that OpenRC doesn't have yet. William why? if something like sshd crashes, you either have a hardware problem or sshd is buggy. Either way, better not be pampered over with a silent service restart. The rest is so visible (or audible - like fancontrol) that you know that there is a problem.
[gentoo-user] OT: PowerColor HD 7850 SCS3 silent
Hello, Well, I'm trying to reseach a 7850 slilent the silent video card on an Gentoo based GA-99FXA-UD3 mobo. I've had Asus Radeons HD 7750 in these mobo, and it is an outstanding bargain workstation. The PowerColor HD 7850 SCS3 seems to be getting really good reviews, for the cost. I think it now comes in a 2 GB of memory. This card says it is PCI-3.0 compliant. I cannot find if the mobo I have (GA-99FXA-UD3) has PCI 3 (16) ? Will the card work anyway? Or should I wait until I get a PCI 3.0 based mobo? What I want is a silent video card, that can also drive dual heads (nothing graphically intensive). All comments are welcome (note: I'm an ardent AMD-Radeon consumer). Tia, James [1] http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3894#ov

Then there is the user instances, also covered by the post. For example, running Xfce using `startx` from text console: ~/.xinitrc file in your home directory has the content of: exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch And then you can run $ startx But like said, this is all covered by the forums post. It's like a checklist. I've followed the instructions described in the post you supplied by way of the link above, and now I have my removable drives auto-mounting. Thanks very much.
