[gentoo-user] Kernel Config Manager
Hi guys, Does anyone know of a kernel config manager that manages the kernel configuration settings that I want? For instance, I want this network driver, and that driver, and the other driver. Want this to be managed outside the standard menu config because it will make it easier to switch to a new kernel, such as xen-sources, or vanilla-sources. I can then keep the default settings of that particular kernel, and enable all the *extra* stuff that I need. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Mini Gentoo in VMWare
Your slowness could be due to not telling vmware to allocate all memory into physical memory, and not using a full sized disk image. It seems like vmware accesses the blocks directly, when you pre-allocate. And if the image gets fragmented, vmware warns you about it, so that you can ask it to defragment it. But, if you're using a resizable image, then you may see some slowness. I bench marked the disk running gentoo linux on a Dell D820 notebook, in native mode. I copied that same gentoo over to a VM, and ran into in windows on the same D820 Notebook, and got slightly better performance results, by about 2-5 M/sec. I used bonnie++ -c 5 -s 4096 -r 768 -u someone. I haven't tried it on a dynamically re-sizable disk. These results indicate to me that VMware is using direct block access, and bypassing the file system. Either that, or simply keeping it un-fragmented makes a big difference. ! As far as compiling slower, I've found there is a very MINOR difference between a real machine, and a VM. On 11/7/06, Daevid Vincent [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I use a Gentoo VM for a lot of LAMP dev work, and I can tell you it's kind of painful to upgrade packages with all the compiling. VMWare is slower than normal to compile, mostly due to disk I/O. Since each HD is a big-ass file. A few optimizations I might suggest: Partition a dedicated physical hard drive into chunks and use VMWare's raw disk so you have real hardware/hard disks. I'd suggest a very fast SCSI drive for the best performance since you're running several VMs. Also, look into the VMWare server version which uses the raw iron a bit better as it's dedicated to running many VMs. I find that more RAM on VMWare has a point of deminishing returns. I have a VM that I dedicate 512MB of my 2GBs and honestly it feels slower than when I give it 128-256MB only. It may be a WinXP thing that it's not efficiently using the RAM right or something. -Original Message- From: Trenton Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 05, 2006 9:19 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Mini Gentoo in VMWare Yes, VMWare is fit for the task, simply because I would be using it on a windows machine.

Re: [gentoo-user] Compiling binaries on a different server
The PORTAGE_BINHOST option is quit time consuming on emerges. But, if you're only doing it once in awhile, in batched sets, it should be just fine. The reason it takes so long is that it has to do an FTP listing of the remote host, cache that info, and then finally it'll do the merging. I was doing that quite a bit in times past. But, you have to make sure you are using the same use flags on EVERY host. Also, I did have issues where emerge would refuse to use a binary package, and instead would re-build it. I think it was due to using the --newuse functionality, and/or the -u (update) functionality. On 10/13/06, Timothy A. Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Friday 13 October 2006 15:16, Timothy A.

Then I add the following line to my .vimrc, which allows me to press F2 to exit the vimdiff windows in one shot. map F2 Esc:qCREsc:qCR The old config shows up on the left, and the new config shows up on the right. Press Ctrl-W and the left or right arrow key to switch between window buffers. What I usually do, if there are additions to the new config that I want, is copy them from the right window, paste them in the left window, and save the left window. Then, I hit F2, then 'z' for zap, and my old config has the new settings that it needs. If you don't like vim, then you might not like vimdiff.

[gentoo-user] gentoo mirro rsync policy
Hi Guys, Is there a policy for the syncing of the mirrors, that would prevent inconsistencies? I'm not talking about inconsistencies with the master server(s), as that would be kind of difficult to have atomic syncing between all servers involved. What I'm referring to is inconsistencies in terms of me syncing with a mirror. I can't count how many times I've had a problem, gone on a wild goose hunt, and then ended up syncing again and it works. Could this be due to one of the mirrors doing a sync, while it's own rsync is still accepting connections? If so, then I may get a portage tree that is not properly synced. If each mirror's rsync is not shutdown during syncing, wouldn't it be better if it actually was? I think we'd rather get a connection refused message, and have *emerge* try another mirror, than to have an inconsistent portage state, don't we think? Any thoughts? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks Richard. Almost but not quite. I loaded the fan module, which did nothing, seeing the fan was already running.

[gentoo-user] Portage Storage using SVN
Hi guys, I proposed this awhile back, and got shot down. At the time, the arguments for using SVN for portage storage were pretty shallow, and someone was able to easily shoot them down. I believe I have come up with better reasoning for using SVN. Someone may still shoot them down, but hey, it's worth a try. PROBLEM 1 Let's say openldap had a problem. So, we decide to mask the latest version of openldap, in an effort to roll back to the version that was working. Well, we find out that openldap still does not work. So, we finally determine that it is library W. So, now we mask library W, in an attempt to roll back to the version that was working. Oh no, now we find out that library W is used by 20 other packages, that require the latest version of library W in order to work. So, now we have to mask library W, and 20 packages in order to get our openldap system functional, assuming you cared about the 20 other broken packages, which may break other packages, which may break yet other packages. Wouldn't it be nice to just go emerge --revert-portage, which goes back to the last exported copy of the portage, that you had from subversion? Boy, would that ever be convenient. It would be simple enough to store a local history of portage tags that the user was using in the past. PROBLEM 2 Have you ever synced the portage, only to find out there's a broken package simply because you synced in the middle of a mirror being updated? Well, subversion operations are entirely atomic, meaning no need to worry about such silly things. Also, copies (tags) could be created for every single day, and special ones for milestones. PROBLEM 3 Don't sync more than once a day, or you may be temporarily banned?

Wouldn't it be nice to just go emerge --revert-portage, which goes back to the last exported copy of the portage, that you had from subversion? Boy, would that ever be convenient. It would be simple enough to store a local history of portage tags that the user was using in the past. Wouldn't that revert the whole of portage, not just the parts affecting ldap, W and the rest? All of a sudden emerge world wants to downgrade previously upgraded programs, some of which may have been updated for security reasons. This means the user has to go through the Changelogs, ebuild and package.mask to find out why they are being downgraded and whether to apply the downgrade. this would be far more work that package masking a few updates dependent on W, which could probably be scripted. Yes, it would revert the whole portage, and that would be desired, so as to be up quickly. It could potentially take hours to figure out which packages are being affected by a broken updated package.

Why not use something like 65350 or some random high port like that? And yes, you probably shouldn't be asking these questions if you have an important linux computer on the internet.

[gentoo-user] portage and rsync vs svn
Hi guys, I'm just curious about something. I've noticed many people report problems with their repository syncing simply because someone was in the middle of committing to the repository. Couldn't this be resolved by replacing the syncing mechanism with *svn* as opposed to rsync? After all, it does have atomic transactions, and you cannot get a partially updated repository when you use it. If this was to be done, I would suggest making tags every day, such as -MM-DD. Then any other tags could also be made on milestones such as 2006.0 for that release. One other benefit of this mechanism, that I can think of, would be that I could easily roll back to my last sync date or release, if some of the updated ebuilds caused me problems. Any thoughts? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If an ebuild is removed from the tree while you still need it then chances are that others need it too. Then it is indeed a bug. If you need an ebuild that has been removed from the tree it is available from the cvs [1]. As mentioned in my previous mail cvs is going to be replaced by a superior VCS hopefully within this year. Sorry, you misunderstood what I was saying because I wasn't clear enough. I meant if I missed a required step, not missed a dependency. For example, with openldap, you're supposed to slapcat before upgrading, and slapadd after upgrading, or you could have database problems. I did not know this. So when I went from 2.2-2.3, I had problems. But, I didn't have time to get it working, as I needed it up and running NOW. So, I reverted to the old package by masking the new one, and then went to find out why it occurred after the fact. This is one simple example of potential problems.

Re: [gentoo-user] Updated gentoo systems and fresh installs
Thanks everyone. Just so you'll all have an extra tidbit of knowledge. A co-worker mentioned one other thing that could be a problem, that no one else mentioned. If you have not yet upgraded GCC on an old version, then use an up-to-date installation with a newer GCC, you will have binary incompatibilities with your package build system.

ANYWAY, looks to me like vserver support is no longer available as a sub-profile, probably replaced or superceeded by default-linux/x86/vserver and that the default USE flags changed by adding apache2, esd, nptl, udev, and xml and removing bitmap-fonts, fortran, oggvorbis, truetype-fonts, type1-fonts, and xml2. nptl and udev you were probably already using, esd maybe not and it'll probably bring in a dependency or two. I betting xml2 has just gone away, in favor of xml. oggvorbis should have also gone away since there's no special libraries necessary to handle vorbis data in the ogg wrapper other that the ability to handle vorbis data (which can be in another wrapper, like matroska) and open ogg wrappers (which can contain other data like speex or theora). Changing the fortran flag will probably make your gcc recompile, unless you already had it turned off; I don't actually compile fortran, do you? I'm not really sure what's up with the fonts options, but it does make sense to not default to ALL types of fonts. The biggest change is the apache2 flag, so you may want to disable that is you do go with 2006.0 I'm just curious, because I have to install gentoo on a notebook, but I want package compatibility with my server.

Either way, you can take a look in the ebuild file for firefox 1.5, and there's no reference to gnome. No checking of the gnome useflag or anything like that. 1.0.7 has it though. The appearance of USE flags (which is what we're talking about) is unrelated to whether or not you have the package installed already-- a USE flag does not appear or disappear based on whether you have the relevant package installed. In fact, the USE flag controls to great degree whether you install the relevant dependency or not (i.e., if K3b optionally depends on KDE, then enabling the kde USE flag will install additional, optional KDE support programs. But since K3b requires kdelibs and kdebase to run at all, these hard dependencies are not controlled by the USE flag). Oh, I get it. the thing that confused me was that he put the USE=, so I thought he was showing me what use flags he had set, not the output of the emerge command. Now I see he was showing the output of the emerge command and adding USE=. Either that, or he's using a newer version of emerge that outputs USE= for him.

Which sounds an awful lot like something that might affect dialogs. However, since there were a lot of complaints about the old dialog, I strongly doubt that disabling this flag would change the dialogs terribly significantly, except that you wouldn't have the GNOME extras that I mentioned before. It's quite likely that even the naked new dialog is a lot like the current GNOME dialog. And again, the likely reason that there is no reference to GNOME in the ebuild is because the references to GNOME integration and compatibility are *in the source code*, because the *Mozilla developers chose* this dialog *as the default* (but not the only) choice of dialog. That is their good right, just as it is your good right to change that if you so desire (since that is apparently quite possible to do). Ebuilds don't do anything but compile the code as given, with some slight modification to work within the Gentoo system (as opposed to the RedHat system or the SuSE system). Ebuilds certainly don't change things as integral to the operation of the program as the format and type of file dialogs. I suppose you could trawl through the source and see where this is set and then write an ebuild to make the choice of file dialog type a configure option-- maybe. If it's already a configure option.

So the reason why the open/save dialogs are the same is because they use the same resources (GTK settings, many of which can be set in GNOME). I can't say if the extra features that I have because I have GNOME installed are present in your open/save dialog (bookmarked folders, for example). Is there going to be a way of NOT making it the standard open/save dialog when firefox 1.5 gets unmasked? Masking or unmasking is not going to change the source code, which depends on GTK. Only upstream can recode the program with a different toolkit. And that seems unlikely to happen, since it hasn't happened yet (and if the toolset was going to change, it probably would have before 1.0, not suddenly now when the release is finally stable enough to be picking up steam fast in the popularity stakes).

I once had to squeeze microseconds out of some windows code that I was writing, in order to speed up RS232 communication, and it made a HUGE difference. The code was originally taking a few ms, but I got it down to a few hundred microseconds by using MMX.

As it were, he wrote a book called The Accidental Revolutionary, or something like that. I've actually been meaning to read it. So, either Linus has false humility (which is arrogance), or he means what he says.

You should review what you want out of your Linux Distro cos I for once am failing to understand your point of view. What do you want? Gentoo is gentoo. It gives you full control to do what *YOU* want to do and taking full control of a full fledged OS is needless to say; difficult. If you don't desire or need the full control then imho there are various other distros available with *simplicity* written all over them. They should be there at your service. But if Gentoo starts to uninstall stuff from my system without asking me then the whole philosophy of control dies or Gentoo dies. I never said it should uninstall stuff without asking you. In fact, I suggested it ask me. And gentoo is hardly difficult for anyone with a brain. *Perhaps* time consuming to learn, but not difficult. And as I said before, I'm using gentoo because of it's flexibility, so that's what I'm sticking with. In fact, all my Linux computers have now been converted to gentoo, as of this past week. So I don't plan on switching them back any time soon. I'm just of the mind that we really should encourage it's use, while encouraging people to also understand what's happening under the hood.

Absolutely not! I don't want portage removing something I may

Good point. Perhaps it should ask then?
Well, it does, by stopping and waiting for you to perform an action
and either restart the stopped process (if the action you took was
to unmerge the blocking package), or to forego the stopped process
entirely, if you choose not to remove the blocked package because
you want to keep it for whatever reason (it could happen).
You're assuming that unmerging the blocking package is *always* the
right solution for everyone at all times (in this case, it's not
really relevant, since motif-config will itself re-install
openmotif), but the point of Gentoo is that you are in control. If
I am in control, then I have to decide what I want done in each
particular situation that occurs, which is exactly what I have to
do with the current setup-- very obviously, since Portage will stop
until I make a decision and act on it. So fine, your new updated
Portage informs me there's a block, and says, I could do this to
solve it, shall I? I myself am going to say no, because I want
to know the nature of the block, and how Portage's proposed action
is going to affect the system that I have carefully customized to
my individual needs.
Yes, flexibility is GREAT. That's one reason I really like gentoo,
and linux in general. However, I also like simplicity, or should I
say, I like to have the choice. So, one could easily make gentoo
have auto-detect and handle features, while allowing configuration
changes that disable automatic behaviour. You could have individual
enable/disable options for each feature, as well as one global
feature than enables/disables all auto-detect features. Then you
could have include/excludes for each feature so that the global would
not override them.
So, the bottom line is this, one person says that things are
difficult because they need to be, in order to be flexible. But I
say that if things are truly flexible, then it should also be
possible to make them automatic, or simple. That's what I call
ULTIMATE flexiblity, which is what I mentioned in another post that I
made. When I originally started with gentoo linux, I read the part
about why gentoo linux came about. Basically it was all about doing
things the way you want. Well, I like the flexiblity, but I also
