00:00 <****> which package contails glxgears?
00:00 <****> *contains
00:00 <****> shal3r: mesa-progs
00:01 <****> randreas69, thats not a crash - its a warning. You have no skin set
00:01 <****> chithead, thank you
00:01 <****> When I go to pidgin.im and some other sites, I get this: http://rafb.net/p/kCehpX11.html and firefox crashes
00:01 <****> Ned, it "smokes" right after this message. Can't run the thing
00:02 <****> randreas69, thats not the cause of your problem
00:03 <****> If you're happy and you know it have a net split...
00:03 <****> Rictoo: segmentation fault is not very specific. with "firefox -g -d gdb" you can get a stack trace
00:05 <****> do I need any userspace for CPU frequency scaling? (AMD PowerNow on an Athlon64)
00:05 <****> NeddySeagoon: here's the terminal output: http://pastebin.ca/766543 - revdep-rebuild checked out ok, tho
00:05 <****> yuriks: cpufreqd / cpufreqinfo / cpufreqset (?) are nice tools
00:06 <****> bonsaikitten: doesn't the kernel have it's builtin governors already tho?
00:06 <****> yuriks: you need userspace support only if you want to set powersaving based on whether your computer is plugged in/on battery/...
00:06 <****> Where can I get a list of the do* commands for ebuilds?
00:06 <****> chithead: not on a laptop, so no, it should work out of the box then?
00:06 <****> Predom[Ubiquitou: tried the ebuild howto? also ask in #gentoo-dev-help
00:07 <****> anyone know of *good* and free QA software for keeping track of test cases?
00:07 <****> how can install a dhcp client without an internet connection?
00:07 <****> chithead: I have asked in the dev channel, no response as yuet.
00:07 <****> yuriks: just enable the desired cpufreq governor and set it in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
00:07 <****> valemon: hard if you don't have the source
00:07 <****> valemon: tricky :-) you can use a livecd usually
00:07 <****> valemon, https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3461249.html#3461249
00:07 <****> chithead: ah, a line in rc.local should suffice then
00:08 <****> Predom[Ubiquitou: maybe they are all asleep now. or on the other side of the netsplit.
00:08 <****> valemon: you might be able to guess ip and gateway
00:08 <****> thanks everyone, I will disturb you freequently :-)
00:08 <****> if i have a scsi array i do not want to turn dma on do i? via hdparm that is
00:09 <****> kaffien, You can't.
00:09 <****> ah ok so thats one less thing i have to worry abotu
00:09 <****> kaffien, yep :)
00:09 <****> im trying to find the best way to benchmark my hdd array
00:09 <****> i have a raid5 and i suspect i may be having IO issues
00:10 <****> kaffien, look in dmesg
00:10 <****> kaffien: tiobench
00:10 <****> NeddySeagoon: :D
00:10 <****> Predom[Ubiquitou: look what I have found http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1#doc_chap4
00:10 <****> hi
00:10 <****> gentoodude, hi
00:10 <****> NeddySeagoon: is there something particular im looking for?
00:11 <****> kaffien, I/O errors or your SCSI
00:11 <****> how can i start a game from the base in an seperate x session?
00:11 <****> base=bash
00:11 <****> kaffien: keep in mind that raid5 has particular bad write performance (so-called write hole) enabling write-back cache on the controller can alleviate this at the expense of data safety
00:12 <****> hey there, any news about gentoo-wiki.com being down?
00:12 <****> fwahl: please read /topic
00:12 <****> Would that be causing delays in commands and general slowness on such a beast of a machine?
00:12 <****> whoa ...
00:13 <****> fwahl, its not on gentoo hardware, so we don't know
00:13 <****> When I go to pidgin.im and some other sites, I get this: http://rafb.net/p/kCehpX11.html and firefox crashes
00:13 <****> okay, any idea where to ask?
00:13 <****> nothing in dmesg about scsi / io errors
00:13 <****> hi, does anyone have a clue what the process -:0 is about? it is always running and fluxbox is shown as its parent.
00:13 <****> thanks goodness
00:14 <****> fwahl: #gentoo-chat maybe
00:14 <****> okay thx a lot...
00:14 <****> kaffien: are there any particular reason you think the raid is in a bad shape?
00:14 <****> kaffien, thats a good sign then
00:14 <****> guys, is /etc/profile of any use if i'm running zsh, i noticed that if i ran source /etc/profile it completely killed my prompt
00:14 <****> the raid itself is not in bad shape i don't think
00:14 <****> i just notice alot of throughput on the io
00:15 <****> the ram and cpu are in pretty decent order
00:15 <****> the cpu is hardly being touched and ram has a bit used and the rest is cached as it should be
00:16 <****> im only using about 3gb out of 10
00:16 <****> doesn't udev obsoleteify hotplug?
00:16 <****> so the next logical step would be to look into hard drive performance
00:16 <****> kaffien: take a look at tiobench
00:17 <****> running test 1 as we speak
00:17 <****> its amazing how fast this thing compiles its a monster
00:18 <****> how can i edit the host settings of a vmware server so that it allows most memory to be swapped, instead of only some memory?
00:18 <****> my problem could very well be im using vmware-server when i might be considering vmware-esx perhaps
00:18 <****> host settings
00:18 <****> Is anyone using the ralink-rt61 driver?
00:18 <****> kaffien: i get that i don't have permssion to edit those settings
00:19 <****> kaffien: and yes, i know i need to edit the host settings. where do i do that?
00:19 <****> kaffien: i tested it on my raid5 in a file with diferent filesystems in that file. i think the results are in a subdir here: incoming.kallenberg.dk/filetest/
00:19 <****> kale this is just a command line util right?
00:19 <****> kaffien: yes
00:20 <****> ok i just ran the default test
00:20 <****> tiobench.pl and pressed enter
00:20 <****> kaffien: yes, and wait ...
00:20 <****> im am waiting hehehe
00:20 <****> i was just making sure i was using it properly
00:21 <****> which command to open a tbz2 package?
00:21 <****> valemon: tar
00:21 <****> valemon: usually with the "j" option
00:22 <****> http://www.bzip.org/1.0.3/html/description.html
00:22 <****>
00:22 <****> do ebuilds ever install anything in to /var/lib ?
00:22 <****> that way works too hehe
00:22 <****> Kale how long should this take abouts?
00:22 <****> NeddySeagoon this worked fine :-)
00:23 <****> valemon, np
00:23 <****> kaffien: it runs 8 tests, size depends on your ram
00:23 <****> 10gb ddr2 667 ecc
00:24 <****> kaffien: i believe it doubles the ram ... to eliminate caching
