This is amazing, I did not know that htop can do all this. Thanks! But I still cannot get it to display the swap used by processes. When I add NSWAP and CNSWAP columns, they are not displayed.

NAFAIK. Though if you get a kernel patch that gets per-process socket auditing added, then it should show up. :) I usually use iftop for watching flows. There's another tool I installed which handles some things (such as IPv6) better, but inara and kaylee are still down, so I can't peek at their world files to find out what it was. -- :wq

I also use nettop to watch overall bitrates but I suspect you have that one also. Assume I have 3 VMs running and they are all streaming media. VM1->Netflix, VM2->Hulu, VM3->Amazon, etc. What I'm really interested in is something that would tell me how much bandwidth each VM is getting. Per-process would almost certainly do that, and maybe that's what I'll eventually have to do, but I'm hoping to find some little app that maybe someone has put together. Thanks, Mark

Thanks for the advice. Have removed media-video/ffmpeg and emerge
virtual/ffmpeg which is allowing me to emerge virtual/ffmpeg and libav.
I suppose if I wanted to use media-video/ffmpeg and I could mask libav.
Thanks for your help. I see this is allowing you to choose
between libav and ffmpeg. The value of virtual packages.

The Makefile is somehow b0rken. Evidence : 'ls' instead of 'ld' 2. Some file creation failed, causing the next step to fail. Please post the output of 'df -i'. I once ran out of inodes during kernel compile, even when the filesystem (ext4) was created with IIRC 100'000-something inodes (and still having several gigabytes of free space). Nowadays, I put /usr/src and portage's tempdir on a reiserfs to prevent running out of inodes. 3. Something is wrong with your filesystem. Especially if /usr/src is *already* on reiserfs. In this case, boot using SystemRescueCD and do an offline fsck on the partition containing /usr/src 4. Swapfile / Swap partition problems. Even with enough RAM, sometimes gcc just wants a swap. Post the output of 'swapon -s' please. And there's also the possibility that somehow the swap gets b0rked. Try turning off swap, rebuild the swap, and turning it back on. Rgds,

I use make nconfig, which is somewhat easier to navigate around. Only once I tried to manually change .config, because revdep-rebuild wanted to rebuild sys-fs/udisks, which complained about CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND not being set, but a silent make oldconfig removed the line automatically. I did the change manually because CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND doesn't seem to exist in 3.2.12. Anyway, thank you for thinking about it. regards, michael

Outlook Express? Not even MS would attach the label "flagship" to Outlook Express. Mind you, Outlook is infernally difficult to make it inter-port or bottom-post.

CHK include/linux/version.h IS for me one of the first lines I get at all. It seems strange to me that you get a call to the linker (LD) before even a call to the compiler (CC). I'd suggest you try a make clean first and try to build again afterwards (with -j1 or without a statement for jobs) to rule out race conditions. If that doesn't help, move your kernel sources to another directory and reemerge the sources. Copy your .config (ideally one of a working tree) and try again. If that doesn't help, try to get a working default config (like from /proc/config.gz from a live distro).

But the options look really more like ld options to me. How this could possibly happen, I don't know. Some overriding of $(LD) perhaps? Does "env | egrep -i 'ls|ld'" show something weird? Does it also fail as a non-root user, after you copied the stuff over to somewhere where this user can write?

Neither can I. Is this command executed at all? If you maybe replace the 'gcc' by 'gccXXX', does this give an error? Or put an 'echo' in front of the gcc'. You can try 'make -d', this will give you LOTS of debug output, but I don't think you will see the actual commands then. Wonko

[gentoo-user] Any DSDT/AML gurus out there?
Hi, I have a laptop which apparently has a buggy DSDT. It is possible to decompile and recompile it, including it in an in-kernel initramfs to override the one in BIOS, as described by the somewhat outdated example at: http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/overridingDSDT.php My main problem is that the AML code that it generates is completely foreign to me and I'm unable to tell what exactly the problem is. Most examples on the web explain fixing compilation errors, which are fairly obvious. Mine has no errors - only warnings. I think there is a logical error leading to an infinite loop condition. My previous attempts to fix it have only resulting in even worse results (no battery readings at all, ever, lack of power management in general, that kind of fun stuff). Normally, my laptop battery readings will work perfectly well until suddenly, randomly it shows this in dmesg: [ 6286.707038] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PIB_.EC0_.SMWR] (Node 88007d028348), AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP (20120111/psparse-536) [ 6286.707074] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PIB_.EC0_.SMSL] (Node 88007d028398), AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP (20120111/psparse-536) [ 6286.707096] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PIB_.EC0_._Q09] (Node 88007d028438), AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP (20120111/psparse-536) After that, the battery state can no longer be read and eventually spontaneously powering off without proper shutdown when the battery dies. The problem does not occur in Microsoft Windows (or windows handles it better), but I don't normally use Microsoft Windows, so that doesn't help me any. :) Has anyone on this list dealt with this before, or have any ideas to help guide me along? I'd be happy to send the code to anyone interested in trying their hand at fixing it. Thanks, Paul

A recent experience has suggested a reason for OE to work the way it does. Using it the way it's designed to be used, the entire conversation so far is included in every message; this will save mucho casho for those organisations that don't want to store e-mails - they rely on being able to scan an incoming e-mail to find out what it's all about.

When it gets to building `perl-core/Module-Build-0.400.0'

One looks for 1.40, the other for 1.4404
I don't know what the code does but, is this possibly the problem? If
so its not at all clear what to do about it.
qfile on /usr/lib/perl5/5.12.4/Parse/CPAN/Meta.pm
Shows it comes from the main perl installation:

So that is from the main perl installation.
Just renaming /usr/lib/perl5/5.12.4/Parse/CPAN/Meta.pm to
/usr/lib/perl5/5.12.4/Parse/CPAN/XMeta.pmX
Causes a new miss match on version when building
