package stable since that would waste a lot of cycles all around.

Hi Stroller,
Sorry for your problems. I've had a rash of machine problems over
the last 6 weeks. No fun. I feel for you.
In my most recent case what looked like a simple disk corruption
problem was really a prelude to the drive just plain going bad. Have
you tried smartctl to see what it says about the drive at this point?
It would be even more frustrating to chroot in, do all the work,
think you had it fixed and then the underlying foundation of your
house crumbles beneath you 3 weeks from now.
Good luck,
Mark

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has opinions (on this list? Right...) as to
the best file system type for running vmware images of Windows XP. As
best I can tell an 8GB C: drive shows up as 4x 2GB files and 1.5GB
DRAM is modeled in a file of its own:
firefly Mark-XP1 # ls -la
total 9291380
at it from
the perspective of starting off with baselayout-2 just so I wouldn't
have to do it later.

Since we think /usr/lib64/liblzmadec.la comes from lzma-utils we would use
equiery files lzma-utils
to determine whether this package provides it. I cannot do that as I
don't have lzma-utils on my systems anymore.
If you don't have lzma-utils on your system anymore then erase
/usr/lib64/liblzmadec.la by hand and run revdep-rebuild -ip again and
see if it's clean.
Hope this helps,

People should be aware of what is really required to do RAID before
they get started so they don't duplicate my trials. I wasn't and I'm
paying for it. (Almost literally if I don't get the drives in the

If it's part of a RAID the new one gets rebuilt.
If it's not part of a RAID then I think, as per Neil's example, the
computer is pretty much dead, right? However if you wanted to try it
(and I'm not brave enough so don't listen to me) then you might want
to do something like
grep -A 1 dirty /proc/vmstat
and wait until nothing is dirty.
Just an idea,

portion of the boot with the green asterics on the right. When it
finally gets to the md0 portion it says the the superblock does not
correctly specify an ext2 filesystem and asks for a password or
Control D. Control D reboots and entering the password results in a
(none) prompt and seems to require a hard reset. None the less it got
much further, but not to a usable state.

terribly useful. Yesterday as stable I built xfce, gnome and kde in
under 4 hours and all 3 worked. Today both gnome and xfce aren't right
and I don't have kde. Probably this is some matter of learning to hold
back portage that I've never done before, rather than unleashing new
packages like you do on a stable system.
How does one accomplish this?

Be careful about going ~x86. I just went ~amd64. The OpenRC migration
is painless. The KDE, gnome, xfce4 part hasn't been for me. I'm likely
to remove all environments and apps, add the 41 apps to
package.keywords and be done with it, assuming that actually works and
doesn't uncover other problems.

I'll stick with ~amd64. If not I'm deleting the partitions and
starting over with stable. I've invested a day and a half in this

epomuk but I run either AMD64 with just a couple of ~AMD64 packages,
or full ~AMD64. I haven't seen this problem on either system. However
I do run ~AMD64 portage, sandbox, gentoolkit, eix and a few other
installation things on all my systems so possibly that's part of it.
Good luck,

modular. Almost always works better and is
recommended modular by Alsa developers over the years.
The one thing that hasn't worked for me so far is passing the mic
input up to to VMWare's sound card. Audio works fine - I can hear
Windows apps - but Windows apps don't receive my mic.

so... ;-)
That said, if it's true, does the "noinitrd" kernel parameter
override it and then RAID would work and the boot completes normally?
Thanks,
Mark

2) Rebuild the RAID1 specifying --metadata=0.90 which is the only
metadata type that the kernel can auto-assemble for you at boot time
without an initramfs, and what I'm currently using here.
Hope this helps,

r Canada or someplace with better
consumer protection laws than the U.S. Just be aware of what you might
be up against, and if it doesn't matter then enjoy the HDHR because
it's a great little product.
Cheers,

ave RAID Edition drives in similar systems and they aren't
racking up this count value so they presumably will last longer.
I have NO data as to why this is happening. It just is. I figure I've
got 6 months to find a solution, and then without a solution 6 more
months to swap the drives out if I get too worried.

If the buttons didn't exist then they wouldn't
make that mistake.
If the buttons required them to type a non-root password used to allow
a user to shut the machine down then they'd remember that this machine
is different and not make that mistake.
I personally think covici's request is very reasonable.

Did you try recompiling mplayer? It's looking for a location that
doesn't exist in your new code. Maybe it needs to be rebuilt and
relinked?

Hi,
Does anyone possibly know of any tools in Open Source for exploring
DSP filter design? Something that might allow me to write equations,
stimulate the filter, see the results in a GUI?
Thanks,
Mark
