  1. right, were a documentation driven distribution as is arch, gentoo, and linux from scratch...  look at our mediawiki ebuild, i doubt you'll find such an excellent mediawiki cheat sheet anywhere....  why document more than what you have insane tweeks of?  to let people know where to get general info, and all the tweeks they need to know.  i started documenting @ gentoo to address forum posts so i could have a manual to point at when a recurring problem came up, i could repeatedly answer with a link.  instead of 50 thousand threads with hurricanes of chatter going on, you get a concise document, that is incrementally improved.  think of it like forums, but cheat codes of the universe instead of chatter, and filler text.  forums, think of as having to read 30 posts that are not helpful to find 20 useful posts.

     

     

     

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mediawiki <--- junky

    http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mediawiki <---- really junky

     

    http://www.funtoo.org/Package:MediaWiki#Tips_and_Tricks <---- excellent cheat codes

     

    im working on building this:

    http://www.funtoo.org/Web-server-stack

     

    so that our page can be stack choices agnostic, i can serve mediawiki via lighttpd, nginx + phpfpm, or apache.  right now i only know mysql, but im sure eventually postgresql, mariadb, percona, or what ever else database will be a well documented choice also.

  2. no problem, all 3 solutions can be installed on the same system also....  use 1 at a time.....  just /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop && /etc/init.d/wicd start or other way around or stop both of those and  /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant start && /etc/init.d/netif.wlan0 start

     

    (my machine actually has all 3, but i use networkmanager)

  3. i did a lot of gentoo's wiki and ill be the first to tell you funtoo's GREAT compared to gentoo....  issue 4 absolutely NOT...  if you find anything in issue 4 bug reports are taken seriously, and resolved quickly....  (except the compiz 9.11 ebuild needs to be unforked) (but compiz isnt essential to a functioning system)  he said every upgrade vincent, ive had this system for around 6 months, and haven't had problems with it being insolvent.  if your system goes unbootable there are things to do to resolve that, like paste emerge log, and forward it to forums or irc....

  4. wicd is horrible in my experience.  rather than use="networkmanager' id emerge networkmanger  once you connect to your ap, you can then look at the funtoo networking wiki page and get it rolling as wpa_supplicant & /etc/init.d/netif.wlan0

  5. lol ive gathered that much...  at first i just merge, then i start to glance around at things....  fcgi scripts generally dont need init scripts.  the part that im going to need help with is the aliasing and proper loading into web servers.  :unsure:   i have 1 example of loading cgi on gentoos wiki and thats the bugzilla install wiki, and that took me months to figure out.

  6. thanks overkill...  resolved...  802.11e qos/wmm disabled & channel changed from 8 to 10 did the trick.  i disabled everything not necessary and was still getting the problems.  tried pings from laptop and noted lag every 4 seconds tried pings from laptop usb noted lag every 4 seconds tried live media noted lag every 4 seconds......  lol NO BUGS just bad configs...  thanks again for putting up with this garbage on the forums....

  7. j-g- i realize what you're saying....  im going to wiki it from scratch, if its maintained it might as well have excellent documentation especially since its an auditing tool.  im just trying to smooth over the initial deployment for the time being.  the config it ships with is bad....  doesnt make that dir

     

    god this is such a shitty mess im probably going to need help on this one.....

  8. im going to compile some notes here before i post a bug & or wiki....  maybe we need a bug dumpster forum?  my pings are back to being bad from the ping insanity thread.  i tested against wpa_supplicant and its dropping high pinging etc also....

    Link Quality=30/70  Signal level=-80 dBm or better and issue comes up... xubuntu was same hardware (its my funtoo install media)

     

    no channel clashing issues.

     

    ive noted something strange....  its good for 3 seconds then bad loss / bad ping.....

    this is happening under 3.15.5 & 3.13.7 (which was running cs GREAT for a long time)

  10. wait wait, fixed by rolling back libsoup & libsoup-gnome...  though i remerged them and its back....

     

    ill do that right now nrc.....

     

    (thanks guys)

     

    current libsoup libsoup-gnome ala funtoo

    rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.803/4.644/86.164/16.646 ms
     
    xubuntu maxes out at 87ms ping(and that was only 1 packet,) funtoo maxes out at 258ms ping (with multiple 100+ms packets and loss on top of that)
    xubuntu 0% loss, funtoo 24% loss
     
    this is over 25 packets transmitted to ensure that its got enough time to let the issue present its self.
     
    xubuntu is
    libsoup 2.38.1-1
    libsoup-gnome 2.38.1-1
    glib-networking 2.32.1-1ubuntu2
     
    broken funtoo is
    libsoup 2.46.0-r1
    libsoup-gnome 2.46.0
    glib-networking 2.40.1-r1 (im pretty sure glib-networking is just an accessory to the crime, not the prime suspect)
     
    working funtoo is
    libsoup 2.44.2
    libsoup-gnome 2.44.2
     
    --- 192.168.2.1 ping statistics ---

    more specific, libsoup roll back alone i get excellent pings but still 20% loss...  both rolled back still 20% loss...  reloading networkmanager loss goes to 0%
  11. ath5k wireless 802.11g

     

    Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR5212/AR5213 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

     

    my laptop ath9k adaptor gets less signal and is half the processor and ram, its ping spikes are 1/2 of these on the desktop.

     

    (notice laptop is gentoo, not funtoo)

     

    (im going to test masking latest glib-networking)

     

    testing masking glib-networking shows what happened.  latest world update changed libsoup-gnome from 2.44.2 to 2.46.0

     

    rolling back libsoup & libsoup gnome

    testing more.....  still not fixed....  (i moved the box around and woke up to it working properly)
  12. im experiencing periodic packet loss...  something changed within the last month that is causing this....  (at least im pretty sure it just started, ive been able to get clean clean signals to my local counter strike servers before)

     

    tested old kernel 3.13.7 problem still present

    ruled out networkmanager, same versions been installed the entire time net-misc/networkmanager-0.9.8.2-r2

    almost ruled out wpa_supplicant net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.1-r1 (original install) (net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.2-r1 now) 

    glib-networking is getting dirty looks from me....

    forums bug....  anything past code blocks is wiped out on the forums....

     

    i can ping my self @ 192.168.2.225 with 0% loss and excellent pings....  any loss to the router is unacceptable, any 170 pings to the router are unacceptable.   i can youtube and internet rather well still, but the jitter is insane for trying to game.

  13. aptana studio requires firefox 1.5 or greater.

     

    so emerge firefox-bin

     

    when the error pops up navigate to /usr/bin/firefox-bin or symlink /usr/bin/firefox-bin to /usr/bin/firefox

     

    ill confirm that i cant get the browser running as im google-chrome only on this system.

     

    closing the program and re opening the program took away the initial internal browser error messages.

  14. ok so im starting to get curious as to how far away funtoo is from systemd.  (from what im gathering miles compared to gentoo)

     

    so i load up a lilo entry that inits systemd per wiki.gentoo.org lilo page.  that goes fine....

     

    i get an error about it not liking my /dev/sdb1 /home partition.  fine ill disable its mounting for now.....

    (exact error, "a start job is running for dev-sdb1.device")

     

    disabled and try number 5ish....  defeat

     

    booting in openrc its throwing some strange errors that do not affect any booting or performance.

    line 11 invalid in /usr/lib64/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf

    &&

    line 18 invalid in (not sure yet it scrolls past quick....  xorg something or other)

     

    (under systemd it said login system or something like that failed)

     

    (im pretty sure this thread would resolve line 11 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2011-May/002371.html)

     

    &&

     

    (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-989870.html?sid=ce206b11c1aa8b59a43e17ead32770e8)

     

     

    &&&&&&

     

    i get to slim!

     

    i tried to log in as root forgetting i have disabled root on this box in favor of sudo su from a false root user account.  (logging in as root as i have not mounted /home to disable the waiting for sdb1 device error as above)

     

    again im just scratching the surface of systemd out of curiosity.  systemd is not impossible under funtoo, but it definitely will take quite a bit of time and resources to get it to working status.

     

     

     

    further noting that i am not pro nor anti systemd, but i am a staunch user of openrc even on my gentoo box that systemd works perfectly for.  the systemd is just too damn awkward for me to get used to yet.  it runs like a turd on my gentoo box, it REALLY runs like a turd on my funtoo box.  im of the opinion that monit is a superior alternative, make essential boot things be handled by openrc and make monit start up other services a bit later on.  (as in load terminals and x immediately via openrc, and load web server ssh server ftp server other non essential server services after x is done loading.)

     

    " <threesixes> yeah lol im not looking for support, or answers, or trolls...  just harmless exploring"

     

     

    upstream says  # CONFIG_FHANDLE is not set should be m or y probably y

     

    update-6-27-2014:

     

    ok shotwell's being a turd compiling, turns out systemd default use flags to -gudev

     

    rebuilding systemd i caught the messages......

     

    * It's recommended to set an empty value to the following kernel config option:
     * CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="/sbin/hotplug"
     * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options...
     *   CONFIG_FANOTIFY: is not set when it should be.
     * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.
     * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems.
  15. i use debian based live cds....  if it doesn't support reiser4, simply apt-get in any support you need.  as i have access to edit debian wiki pages i can even document my install procedures over there.  (their wiki systems a bloody mess)  (im going to look into ubuntus wiki & i already know im locked out of cents)
