Re: [gentoo-user] Joomla
Hi Mick, Am 09.06.10 08:05, schrieb Mick: I can't answer directly your question, but unless you have a particular reason to use Joomla, I would strongly recommend to give Drupal a try. It is a more powerful CMS with more modules than Joomla. yes you are right with your comment, I currently use joomla and tried to switch to drupal, but an essential modul, docman, is not available for drupal. If you do not need a tool that manages you download I would recommend drupal too.

[gentoo-user] Grub2 takes very long to make config or install
Hi, I followed now the wiki page: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Grub2 At the step to create the config file with: grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg and install grub2 with: grub-install /dev/sda it needs several hours to complete each of the commands. Is this normal?

the bugging version is 3.2_p17.
I reinstalled now 3.1_p17 which works.

should be stable or?)

[gentoo-user] Bug in /etc/init.d/netmount?
Hi,
I have here a gentoo diskless system which boots over pxeboot and
mount everything over NFS from my big Gentoo server.
But at shutdown I get the error message:
Failed to simply unmount filesystems
Unmounting network filesystems (retry #1) ...
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
After some investigation I found a work-around.
I deleted the line
[[ -z $(umount -art ${rcfilesystems} 2>&1) ]]
in /etc/init.d/netmount (function stop() )
I think the problem here is that netmount unmounts all partitions
(including /) and so the shutdown process cannot be continued.
Should not netmount skip unmounting / ?
Best regards,
Matthias

Re: [gentoo-user] Howto get nvidia serial ATA with DMA running
Hello Volker, * Hemmann, Volker Armin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [17-04-07 10:11]: > which is correct. You don't set dma for SATA devices and you don't do it with > hdparm. ah ok, thx for that information. But I have a problem. If I copy some data on disks the system is at a very high load and extremely slow (load at 2.5). If I record movies with VDR every recording is damaged (distortions). So I thought it is a problem of missing DMA. Is the SATA driver so bad and produces a such high CPU load?

[gentoo-user] Find root partition
Dear list, I switched now to a new mainboard and it seems that the drive numbering changed or my kernel does not detect any hard disks... If I try to boot my gentoo the kernel panic because it cannot find the root partition. After the panic I cannot scroll up to check what drives are detected and which numbering is used. What must I do to be able to scroll up to see what is logged to the screen? (is there maybe a special key available, the shift+page-up and scroll is not working) Thanks Matthias -- "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

[gentoo-user] Networkdriver for Intel 82579
Dear list, I have here a brand new mainboard (Asus P8P67 Pro) with the new sandy chip on it. If I look into the manual it says there is an Intel 82579 Gigabit LAN chip on-board.

[gentoo-user] Something like nullfs (FreeBSD) available in linux
Dear list, I want to build up a NFS share for several host. The base system is always equal, only some files are different (files in /etc and /var, maybe more). The structure should look like: Base system is on /basesystem Then I want a directory for every host: /nfsroot/host1 /nfsroot/host2 .. /nfsroot/hostn Client 1 will boot via lan and mount the /nfsroot/host1 via NFS. On the server the mount could look like: mount -t nullfs /basesystem /nfsroot/host1 mount -t nullfs /basesystem /nfsroot/host2 If the host1 changes now a file the changed file is not stored in /basesystem but in /nfsroot/host1. (so you can think about a filesystem in two layers, the ground layer is /basesystem and readonly, changes will go to /nfsroot/hostn) If i upgrade the /basesystem all files should be available for all hosts expect the files the host changed by itself (they are stored in the nfsroot/hostn directory). In FreeBSD there is a file system available called nullfs which could be used for this. Is there a similar filesystem for Linux available, too?

[gentoo-user] Several arches installed, flag kernel automatically
Hi, I have here two gentoo systems one 32-bit and one 64-bit. To save space on my harddisk the mounts /home and /boot are used from both systems. Now I have the problem with the kernel version. Both systems running kernel 2.6.18-gentoo-r6. If I install now the kernel from the 64-bit system it overwrites the kernel from the 32-bit system. In the kernel config is a variable available LOCALVERSION to append some text to the kernel to prevent the overwrite. Is it possible to global define this variable e.g. in /etc/make.conf?

[gentoo-user] Port for gnome-commander
