Before we go bypassing dependency checks


Too late I'm afraid :) ... so the glibc built with --nodeps (and the system is still functional, so seemingly good there)

However now have another circular dependency


(sys-apps/file-5.05, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
(app-admin/eselect ...

Hi,

Any thoughts as to how to resolve this:



* Error: circular dependencies:

(sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
(sys-libs/glibc-2.11.3, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
(sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)

* Note that circular ...

First you might want to be sure that you really can't install under Gentoo - often it's just a matter of altering install scripts etc. to make the install complete. As long as you have all the required libraries and utilities there's really nothing special in Centos that would make it required. Of ...

IIRC, wait time in the guest is accounted as regular CPU time on the host, so if you have a large disk bound process going (like nfsd), you'll see low CPU usage in the guest (but high wait time) and high CPU usage on the host.

Ah, that's interesting given that what's going on in my example was ...

Don't believe I'm using KSM, /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_shared is 0.

I just used top to produce the output - what you see is typical of what I get, a small guest cpu load seems to produce a disproportionately high usage on the related qemu-system-x86 process on the host.

I have a system that runs a number of KVM VMs - all Gentoo (both the host and the guest VMs), the guests all have paravirt IO and networking enabled and seemingly working, however often I see that the host cpu is vastly higher than the guests e.g (taken while performing a file copy to a guest ...

Thanks for the tip on smp, I'll give that a try, shame though, I could use the extra CPU horsepower.

I checked the qemu fallback information in the KVM faq, and I'm not falling back to quemu, so it may well be a smp issue.

For a new install the conventional approach is just to split it into 3 partitions, boot, swap and root:


#fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x20000000

Device Boot ...

I'm _think_ getting some significant kvm performance issues, my 'usual' virtualization environment is Xen, but I was wanting to try out kvm for it's newer kernel support and also for greater flexibillity.

The problem is that a seemingly low cpu load (say 20%) on the kvm guest, results in much ...

Actually this is an install (upgrade) from a stock 2008 stage 3 (which I think is 2.6.1).

I have been investigating a glibc emerge issue I am having http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-749588-highlight-.html .

However this now seems to be a more general issue with the system. Some simple core


#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc,char *argv[]){
printf("%d\n",sizeof(long double ...

I'm getting the following trying to emerge (update) glibc any thoughts as to why would be appreciated:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c -I. -I. -march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -DMAXWIN=100 -DNONETHACK display.c
process.c: In function 'confirm_fn':

Thanks, that was it. Not sure how it ended up that way though. Switching to nvidia opengl broke a few things (principally Firefox), but a few compiles later I'm back up and running.

Recently (think last 2-3 months) I've been getting very poor 3D performance with my 8400M GS, 3D acceleration is working, but so slow as to be practically unusable ~150 FPS on glxgears. Prior to this performance was pretty decent.

Any thoughts as to why this is happening, there have been a number ...

I lost the ability to tap-click, however the Vert/HorizEdgeScroll in xconfig did re-enable the edge scroll (the multitouch is kind of flakey on my laptop).

Presumably there's a config setting for the tap-click to, but I haven't found it yet.

Hi,

Have a slight mystery my install of firefox (www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.1) has lost it's 'check as you type' spellcheck. The relavent checkbox in settings is checked and I also have hunspell (app-text/hunspell-1.2.6)& dictionaries (app-dicts/myspell-en-20060316) installed.

Any thoughts as ...

Wierd stuff coming out from php update.php!


What was the output?


Anyway... while i was installing Gentoo i noticed i selected a mirror for stage3 in a text-based browser.
I think it was called 'links'.
Will that work?


Maybe - you will also have the program wget installed, have a look at ...

Well, if the php file is just something you can access directly (i.e. without having to log in, doesn't need anything specific from a browser) you should just be able to do:


php phpfilename.php


in cron (have a look at the manpage for the format from the crontab and also the options for ...

More research..

OK so I think I've found the source of the problem, but no real idea how to fix it. If I run vlc with -vv I see output such as:

Hi,

Recently VLC has started having choppy/stuttering sound when playing DVDs. It seems to be a VLC issue as MPlayer is able to play ok, however I'm not sure what can have changed to cause VLC to start having problems, it was working just fine recently.

Thanks

Can you post an example exception?

My initial suspicion would be a DNS issue, as Java can be a bit odd about having correct DNS resolution (in both directions) at times.

I still see the same libwfb issues with nvidia-drivers-169.09-r1. Currently I'm just using the nvidia installer (which at least gets me working X), but that seems to cause some other issues, presumably because eselect isn't recognizing that the nvidia drivers are installed.

I'm not liking the look of the packet loss you are getting. What is your connection? Both your connection to the net itself (e.g. DSL) and also your connection internally (e.g. wifi etc.).

For reference this is what I'm seeing off my home DSL connection, from a box with a 100Mbps wired ethernet ...

First try and see if it is a DNS or connection issue. Trying to debug it from a web browser isn't really going to be possible.

Does it take significantly longer for:


ping www.google.com


to respond than:


ping 64.233.169.103



If ping takes a while resolving names, then you have a DNS ...
