Hey guys,

I have recently started working on a web store. One of the requirements from my bank that I had to fulfill was a PCI compliance test. One major part of PCI compliance is to pass a vulnerability scan. On my server (a lightweight VPS), I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (just keep reading ...

I just used whatever was marked as ~latest in Gentoo sources a month ago.

Yes, that's the driver that I used. Works perfect.

Great, removing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules fixed it for me. Thanks.

What did that do, in more detail?

I just did a major upgrade of my PC. Replaced everything except for a hard drive. Luckily, SATA is the same so I had no problem booting into the system. One thing that is not working is LAN. My motherboard, Gigabyte P55-UD3R, uses a RTL8111D controller for LAN. So I recompiled the Realtek driver ...

The AC-1 works fine with alsa driver version 1.0.16. Though I did not meddle with the fancy stuff like the SPDIF output.

Edit: works fine with the digital output too, using the sample configuration from there: http://hampelratte.org/blog/?p=14
Be sure to enable IEC958 switch, and enable stereo ...

Idle (that is, 2D) is a power savings mode. All recent NVIDIA cards have 2D/3D modes which they switch from depending on how many calculations they need to do. To put it in a savings mode just don't use any software that would display 3D renderings on your screen.

Hello,

I bought a Razer Barracuda AC-1 sound card recently and I'm wondering how well it works in Linux. There is a driver in ALSA ( Module-Oxygen ) but the only thing I found is this . That is, the support of the Oxygen HD Audio is very poor. This source is a few months old though, so I'm not sure ...

Hello,

Which processor family would work best with Core 2 Duo? Pentium M or Pentium 4 based? Or maybe something else? Thanks!

I have ICH5, and to use all stuff on my motherboard first time when i kompile kernel myself i opend my PC and wrote down all chips i could read - it provided me with lot of usefull info - sensors, audio codek, lan card type ...

I recoment to you to look "under hood" and then go thru all options in ...

Hey,

I'm trying to install gentoo on my Gigabyte-GA-965P-DS3 motherboard but I'm having problems. I read that the new 2.6.18 kernel supports the JMicron SATA/IDE and Intel ICH. So I emerged the 2.6.18 gentoo-sources (after adding gentoo-sources ~x86 to package.keywords) but the JMicron and Intel ...

Hey everyone,

I just put together a new Core 2 Duo PC and I'm thinking about moving back to Gentoo. My questions are:

Is Gigabyte DS3 P Gentoo compatible (audio, sata controllers, ide, etc)?
How are ATI drivers on Linux now? I never owned an ATI and this time I bought an x850xt.

Hey everyone,

Is it possible to use bittorrent with multiple internet connections? For example, let's say I have a laptop connected to a wireless network A with internet. I also have a desktop PC connected to a network B with internet (A and B = different ISPs). The laptop is also connected to the ...

Just to add to what deadstar wrote. I'm pretty sure you can't go above 80 (or is it 70?) FPS online in Steam-based games because of the FPS cap - so you won't go faster then your buddy you're playing with.

Did you follow this? http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
If you didn't compile the drivers you can always do alsa-driver way without recompiling.

Nie wiem czy ci to pomoze ale tez mialem problemy z dzwiekiem w UT2004, Doom 3, i Quake 4. Znajdz pliki konfiguracyjne i zmien 'default device' na 'plughw:0' i zmien multichannel na 'surround51'.

Ale jezeli XMMS ci nie chce dzialac to widocznie twoj problem jest gdzies indziej.

Hey everyone,

I have Gnome 2.14.1 (light version). When I use a normal, simple theme in Nautilus (2.14.1) my Nautilus works just fine. But when I use a good looking one (like Glossy P), Nautilus starts to lag really bad when I try to resize the window (the 'resize animation' is very choppy). I'm ...

EmergeNC would be no good just for that reason - it rhymes with emergency. Emergency would be a good name for a backup utility - not a portage frontend.

That did it, thanks.

Hey everyone,

I have a weird problem. My Gentoo doesn't detect all my RAM. I have 1536MB of DDRAM (3200) (512x3), it detects only 896MB. Here's my system:

Gentoo kernel 2.6.16-r7
Albatron K8X800 Pro 2 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Clawhammer
1536MB of 3200 Corsair DDRAM
Gigabyte NVIDIA 6800 ...

All right, that did it. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm running gnome-light 2.14 and decided to emerge totem. I emerged the current testing one (1.4.0) (by adding totem and its dependencies to package.keywords). Now, when I run it I get a message:

Totem could not startup.
Could not close supporting library.

If I try to run it from ...

I see, I thought he was talking about the price of the game.

And those are also pure estimates. I don't believe that almost all of those people would buy WoW. Maybe around 40-60% of people who signed this petition would actually buy WoW. And why *15? Doesn't WoW cost around $30?
