[gentoo-user] [OT] Purchase memory modules question
Hi. I have to choose between: - Purchase 1GB DDR400 (2x512MB) value RAM. - Purchase 512M DDR400 (2x256MB) good CL2 RAM. It's for a home machine (A7N8X-Deluxe MB, Athlon XP 2600+)... Sometimes i have to use vmware. Thanks in advance, cheers.

I plan to do this with gentoo... so if someone else has had a similar plan... maybe they could offer me the benefit of their wisdom :-) Assumptions: 1. There are two Linux Hosts connected to the internet by ADSL (512/256Kbps) and that for, say, 6 hours each night this bandwidth is mostly unused. 2. Each Linux Host has under 1GB of "current" files - and under 100Mb of this changes each day on each host. 3. The (different) administrators of each host do not want to take responsibility for keeping the others' data secret, and neither wants the responsibility of having access to the other's files. 4. A daily backup is desired by the administrator of each host. I've been trialling a similar project myself at work recently. At the moment I have it working to one remote site, and - if I can get some boxes to act as backup hosts - I'm planning to roll it out to keep a backup of all of our sites at each site, which will give us 3 offsite copies of each site's data files. Our hosts are a mixture of SuSE, WinNT and WinXP, but all the packages I've used are in portage (the Windows hosts use Cygwin) - in fact, I wouldn't have thought of it if I wasn't a Gentoo user, and I'm going to use Gentoo if I do start rolling out to dedicated backup hosts. We'd already set up a VPN over ADSL to the one remote site that didn't already have a private data link, using net-misc/vtun. The backups are then done using rsync over the tunnelled connection, which makes sure that only changes are transmitted. In practice, running over a 256 kbit connection, we can update the daily changes to a 128Mbyte file in about 30 seconds. This solution doesn't cover encryption of the on-disk backup, but vtun does encrypt the data passing over the VPN, and also lets you limit the bandwidth used by the VPN tunnel. Backup encryption could always be handled by an encrypted loopback FS on the backup host, I guess. It also doesn't give you any management of backup disk size. Hopefully it's a good starting point for you to think about, though. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Or just comment out the "UnloadBlacklistedModules yes" line in hibernate.conf. The blacklist is used as a blanket catch-all list - if there's anecdotal evidence that it causes suspending or resuming to fail, it joins the list until proven innocent. That way people that want it to "just work" can get a useful error rather than an ambiguous hang :) That said, some of the modules there, (such as nVidia) have potential workarounds - http://wiki.suspend2.net/DistroAndHardwareSetup/Nvidia is a good starting point.

Re: [gentoo-user] Back up with no root
Obviously, if you've never used sudo you'll have to emerge the package app-admin/sudo. Then, configure /etc/sudoers with the visudo command. Find #%wheel ALL=(ALL)ALL and uncomment it. Then, add the user you want to be able to use sudo to the wheel group (usermod -g ). And that's it. The user should now be able to use sudo, provide they enter the root password when using it. If you don't want to have the use a password to use sudo (highly recommended you do), uncomment # %wheelALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL instead.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems with Dual Boot
No. Completely going by the gentoo install handbook excerpt you pasted, the grub device/partition referencing is formatted like this: hd,, not hd,.

Ack! What? It does *not* go up to -O9 and never has. Currently, the code
change anything after -O3. There used to be an -O4, and I think up to -O6
in private builds, but anything higher than -O3 won't help anymore. (It
didn't really /help/ before, more often than not it simply produced
seeg-faulting executables.)
You can specify -O9, but I don't think that's actually a limit. I think
you can but any value there that's recognized by aoti (or maybe one of the
strto{,u}{l,ll} family). Use -O69 and see how fast you bugs get marked
INVALID at bugs.gentoo.org!
Also, I *think* -O3 is still broken on some architectures. x86 should
support it fine, but -O3 is in that group of compiler flags that has
produced broken executables. (That said, I run with -O3 on a pentinum2
and am quite happy.)

[gentoo-user] Slow data transfer over network
Hi I have a small LAN at home with 2 winXP and 1 Gentoo [genstu] machines connected through a combined ADSLrouter etc. I have a problem whereby, I seem to have very slow data transfer speeds between my Gentoo machine and my XP machines as a guide here are some figures Transfer of a 66Mb file :- XP->gen 90 secs 700KB/s gen->XP 30 secs 2700KB/s XP->XP 7 secs ?KB/s The share on genstu is samba and I have also tried Winscp which gives a little improvement in performance but not much. The hardware is all relatively new and the NIC's were cheap and cheerful but 10/100. Some output:- lspci :00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Macronix, Inc.

Originally I thought it would be Samba and my poor attempt at configuration but I am becoming more convinced that it may be a NIC issue or more likely the kernel and my configuration of that especially since I saw that dmesg output, the kernel was built using genkernel origianlly and has been updated once [make oldconfig] I also tried out my pure genkernel config and recieved the same performance. If anyone can suggest a solution :) or more reasonably somewhere to look it would be most grateful, as at the moment I have too many places to look for a problem with no guide ie. could it be the NIC, kernel, samba, XP, protocols or even because I just forgot to say please.

Probably not really a standard.

Yeah, that's one of my few problems with gentoo. :( I'd like LSB and FHS
(and LFS) compliance, at least in ${ARCH}, if not ~${ARCH}.
Besides the /opt vs. /usr problem, I don't like how I have to
delete /mnt/floppy and /mnt/cdrom everytime baselayout (?) is updated,
since the "correct" place (and the one I use) for these mount points
is /media/floppy and /media/cdrom.

Re: [gentoo-user] Printer setup tool
Take a walk over to http://www.linuxprinting.org/ it will answer every question you have... I am feeling helpful this evening so here: 1. Your printer should work perfectly http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_722C 2. Cups guide: http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html Pretty much emerge cups and download the ppd file for your printer from here: http://www.linuxprinting.org/ppd-o-matic.cgi?driver=pnm2ppa&printer=HP-DeskJet_722C&show=0 than copy that into /usr/share/cups/model/ than restart the cups daemon. Now open up firefox or what ever internet browser you use and type: http://localhost:631/admin login as root. Select Add Printer and yeah go from there... That should help you get it working or at least on the right track... Hope it helps Cheers Rav On 5/28/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Are there any tools to help me set up my printer (Hp Deskjet 722c)?

Andreas Vinsander wrote: A little harsh I think! Agree! :) If your running a dual-core, double-processor system, it's effectively a quad system (no dual), so SMP should be build for at least 4 processors. Here's another dumb one: Is hyperthreading enabled in the dual-core procesors? Thus making a single dual core Xeon count as 4 processors kernel-wize? If I remember rightly, yes. As far as how the processor presents itself to the system, each core itself is an independent processor. This goes for the hyper-treading system from Intel aswell, as it's treated as 2 cores, but the processor controls what the core can do depending on what's available in the processor and the code is running at the time. Just interesting that if you bought 2 processors, now with dual-core hyper-threading your system suddenly thinks it's an 8-way beomoth! :D I'd hate to think of the licensing fees Micro$oft could charge for that if the mood caught them right! :-/ -- Jonathan Wright // life has no meaning unless we can enjoy what we've been given // running gentoo ~ 2.6.11-gentoo-r6-djnauk-b2 i686 AMD Athlon XP 2100+ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You can allow specific users to execute specific commands with a specific set of parameters. For instance, I have a backup dialup account at 295.ca for emergency use if/when my ADSL account is not available. ppp0 can not co-exist with eth0. So, in addition to creating /dev/ppp, I (as user waltdnes) also have to shut down eth0, and call pon, in order to connect via dialup. After logging off, I need to restart eth0. These commands all require root privileges. The specific commands in my /etc/sudoers are... waltdnes m450 = (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0 waltdnes m450 = (root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down waltdnes m450 = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pon 295caint waltdnes m450 = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/poff waltdnes m450 = (root) NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart It's painfull to type these commands manually, so I've set up a couple of scripts, called "dialup" and "dialdown"... [m450][waltdnes][~]cat bin/dialup #!/bin/bash sudo /bin/mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0 sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down sudo /usr/sbin/pon 295caint [m450][waltdnes][~]cat bin/dialdown #!/bin/bash sudo /usr/sbin/poff sudo /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart In your case, you can allow the regular user to launch a backup process with root privileges.

I guess I wasn't very clear about that. If your kernel supports USB mass storage and if your camera is recognized as a mass storage device (as Neil points out not all are I guess) then you should see a message in dmesg to the effect that a mass storage device has been loaded. Search for /dev/sd and you would find /dev/sda1 or sdb3 or something like that. Do check to make sure you have SCSI and USB mass storage supported in your kernel or this most certainly will not work this way. Even then it depends on your camera.

[gentoo-user] Back up again
After a lot of testing and testing of different methods to make backups I reached a conclution of what I need, but I don't know if it's possible. I want to do an rsync of the server directories I want but locally, it should end up in a tared file (it doesn't need to be compressed). I need it on a tared file because I want to preserve permissions, so, restoring the backup won't be a pain. I want rsync because I need to make it incremental, if not, I'll kill my server's bandwidth, at last I need to reach root privileges by sudoing. Is this possible ? if not, is there any workarround that you know that might help me (like taring the dirs on the server and syncing that) ?

[gentoo-user] xorg on laptop
Recently i tried to install gentoo on a aspire 1300 laptop with a savage graphics card. Everthing worked fine till i started to configute the X server. For some reason which i don't understand, when starting X only about 1/4 of the screen are grey - the rest of the screen stays blank and you can't move the mousepointer outside of the grey box. But somehow it must work, because when i boot up with the live-cd-2005.0 and then chroot into my installation environment, i can configure and start X without problems. Here is a short description of the things i allready tried: At first, after realizing that it works with the gentoo-boot cd, i thought, that maybe somehow the framebuffer makes the differnece. So i configured the system to use a simple framebuffer console without a splashimage with the help of http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Framebuffer:Bootsplash:Grubsplash#2.6.8_and_newer_kernels . Allthough that was easier than i thought, the problems with X remain. I tried removing agp-gart support from the kernel [which is linux-2.6.11.10 ] and played around with different monitor and device optins in my xorg config file. Maybe someone has an idea what to do... Thanks, Antonio -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems with Dual Boot
My setup prior to having grub put on hda was as follows.. hda1 = windows partion hdb1 = linux boot partition I had grub installed on hdb1 and planned to boot my computer from that drive. So because in BIOS I was booting from the slave drive grub reads that drive as (hd0,x) I understand completely that grub reads drive then partition and both count from zero as the first.

Re: [gentoo-user] Dual Core 64/Intel
A little note on the Intel Dual Core CPUs goes. They have two models. First one for $300 2.8Ghz but doesnt have HyperThreading, the Extreme Edition has Hyperthreading, but costs around $1100. But as two my original question it was more a question about intels 64bit if that was working in linux yet? But I am kinda hearing that it is.

I've used kmail before and it always has deleted it from the server. You have to choose the option to delete it from the server when downloaded though.

Re: [gentoo-user] how to delete messages from server in Kmail
The feature I mean is very useful when you delete, for example, spam email. When you epmty trash the appropriate message also will be deleted from the server, leaving the other not deleted mail. And when you check email from another PC, you can download the messages left in server whithout spam mail. askar On 5/29/05, Taylor Morrow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've used kmail before and it always has deleted it from the server. > You have to choose the option to delete it from the server when > downloaded though. > > If you mean that you want to leave it on the server until it is > deleted from kmail, then I don't know.

I think you're going about it the wrong way. - can you set up a cron job on the remote machine to push the backup to your machine (or where-ever)?
