You won't imagine: can't check the temp in the BIOS! Didn't belive it, but my college said also that it's possible on notebooks.

So still unsure if this is a hardware, or kernel/config issue. Now I'm using the 2.6.15 kernel today, to see if there will be high temps. I will let you know if there is ...

Really hope that you right;)

Yes, it's hot at the places where it's usually hot, but could not tell you if its's *hotter* or not, than before when processing.

BIOS is a good idea, just didn't came to my mind. Will check it, and that must be true, isn't it? I think today's load is over, but next ...

centrino are known not to be power greedy, unlike amd mobile cpu. i suppose there's something wrong in your temp values - idle temp should probably be around 30-35°C. and i think your laptop would shutdown by itself in case you achieve 100°C for real (thermal protection stuff).
where do you get ...

100°C !! i didn't know compaq made toasters !

Good idea, at least to keep my caffee warm;)

do you have ressource-hungry process(es) ?

Yes, this shows up in case of heavy load, one of my actual tasks is very hungry, but experienced during weekend with emerging something (to be honest was ...

Hi everyone,

does anyone else experiences overheating reported by ACPI thermal zones, after upgrading to 2.6.16 kernel?

Here it goes up (the number at least) near to 100C (98 was the max) when loaded! After downgrading back to a 2.6.15 series kernel it goes up until 85C max, which was more-or-less ...

Hi,
I'm looking for information if it is possible to use packages for python 2.3 and 2.4 both, in a portage friendly way. Untill now I fond no definite answer.

Of course it's possible to install them conventionaly under 2.3 (from original source, doing python2.3 setup.py install on them), but that ...

Same (and urgent) question here!

There are several application still using python 2.3 (eg. Zope), so I will keep python 2.3 for a while. python-updater removed all of site-packages, recompiling into 2.4. But I want those (or some of them) in 2.3, too.

Can I do it with portage/emerge? Or should I ...

Thx for it, I will see...

Hi,
I found inconvenient in some cases that protage just overwrites executables (and other files sure), which belongs to an other package.
Lastly it happened with app-admin/sdsc-syslog overwrites /usr/sbin/syslogd from app-admin/sysklogd , which is essential system file. I even consider this a BUG ...

Try this:
cp /var/db/pkg/net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.0.8/net-snmp-5.0.8.ebuild /usr/portage/net-analyzer/net-snmp/
ebuild /usr/portage/net-analyzer/net-snmp/net-snmp-5.0.8.ebuild digest

Maybe that will help. It will restore the old ebuild from your var database, but it won't help if they removed or ...

OK, lets see it... And very strange thing happened: it only wrong when '-p' is present.

So when pretend emerging the tbz2:

emerge net-snmp -pvK

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
!!! aux_get(): ebuild for 'net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.0.8' does not ...

Hi,
there is a problem with emerging ebuild's or even tbz2's, when they are removed from portage.
I red about similar problems on the forum, but without solution. Please tell me, if there are any help in this, and read my proposal, too.

So the problem is, when you want to re-emerge an already ...

-Instead of the regular 50 lines/second build dump, display good overall progress indicators
And how would the program know how far the build process has come? Make does not provide such information.

All these things have been discussed many times in other threads.

I would store the count of ...

Is there some lightweight (possibly object oriented) database system that could be worth looking at apart from metakit?

ZODB (the database of Zope) would be a good choice.
It can run standalone, too, and provides a great webinterface if used in Zope.
It's fully object database, transactional ...

Hi,

first with the comments...
Since about november, I successfully installed gentoo, and be happy with,
since 5 months, I couldn't do a successfull upgrade, or even a full new install.
Once I got near, but then come '-march=pentium4'.
Other time it *was* compiled to kde, but I mad an 'emerge=sync ...

I can confirm this 'flipping' of versions, too.
No solution yet, except using -k, so no rebuild neccessary.

Linux used to support software raid, but I don't know if it does anymore :\ and if it does, I don't know what state it's in.

Google "drobbins raid". Seems that Linux RAID is alive and well.

Yes, it's running well, I think many of us using it. I won't explain it here how to setup, there are ...

I used these flags and have had no problems* with GCC 3.2.2:
CFLAGS="-s -march=pentium4 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fexpensive-optimizations -fpic -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt -foptimize-register-move -masm=intel"

* This includes the bug addresed here

Are you ...

Gentoo adheres to the FHS guidelines , so it's not just based on personal preference.

Are you sure?

From the FHS:
Locally installed software must be placed within /usr/local rather than /usr unless it is being installed to replace or upgrade software in /usr

It seems to me that it Gentoo ...

Honestly, I've never had *any* trouble with BIND. I have never personally met anyone that's had trouble with BIND. Those that I encountered elsewhere on the net that had BIND problems, were running waaay outdated versions.

I actualy had, and also I'm getting the habit to chroot everything I can ...

Why don't you roll your own install CD?

I think basically nothing bad with the gentoo install, it should stay like this. But of course, if I should install it to hundreds of servers or workstations, it's boring to start with bootstraping always. So you can do a LiveCD with a good installsript on ...

Don't you chroot named?

It's a great fun to play with mounted partitions with sensitive data 8)
Be warned, that you can loose everything (althoug I did). Better to have a backup of your data.

You didn't tell me how your partition situation is, if you use LVM or EVMS. If you do, it's easier. If not, harder.

Use 'sfdisk ...

for those of you that are using march=pentum4... try to run this code


python -c 'int(10.1); int(10000.3); int(1.2)'


It will most likely give you an overflow error. This is just an example of the binary corruption that DOES occur with march=pentium4 on gcc3.2x

yes, confirm, it does :x
so ...

Yes, thanks, seems useful, it seems that some solution cares with both.
I will give a try!
