@channel i experienced serious problems with udev at boottime i tested every version which is in portage the symptoms
I don’t want to run a DNS yet, how do I tell the ISP to point?
niklas^, errors to pastebin not directly to the channel
you cannot just reinstall?
No I cant
[nomerge ] sys-fs/xfsdump-2.2.45 what does nomerge mean?
I have no physical access to the server and the support team sucks
And for the moment, the client would not move his hosting
send them a mail containing your IP and the hostnames of your machines like gondolin, mail, www, ftp,… and your domain name…
Having no physical access does not prevent you from reinstalling
not sure if they would agree to that
they have like 5 millions clients
It’s just a home ISP
why not? My ISP sent me a mail back in a day saying they did it
and when you said “domain name” in your last sentence, you refered to which domain names?
The Internet ones? or the “local” ones
If you bought a get your domain name registred then the provider should point their DNS to your IP:s.
yes, that’s done already
I think I am beginning to understand the problem
a domain name is elvanor.net or whatever you said you have
qmail more or less expects you to run your own DNS
I’ve a meeting now but can I do something like install portage from binaries or something ?
where you put the IP of the hostnames
You should run a DNS locally yes. It should resolve the local adresses.
Can’t /etc/hosts just do that, Diezel ?
no they can’t you need to set up bind
Setting up Bind in a chroot is really easy so it shouldn’t take you long to figure out, and it’s great if the ISP has DNS trouble. I’ve had mine running for 4 years now.
let’s see, maybe I’ll do that
do I need agpgart when I using a pcie gfx adapter? I want to use the oss radeon driver (xf86-video-ati, libdrm, x11-drm compiled separately)
compiling x11-drm gives me warning concerning unknown symbols like flush_agp_cache
Your host’s fully qualified name in DNS is def92-2-81-57-218-144.fbx.proxad.net.
This means on my ISP, this is my hostname?
So I guess I should set my domain as fbx.proxad.net ?
and the hostname as def92-2-81-57-218-144 ?
here’s the how to: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html
But since def92-2-81-57-218-144 is ugly, is there a way to “alias” it to something prettier ?
No, that’s what’s it’s resolving using reverse DNS. If you need that changed you have contact the one who has the DNS for that ip address host range(ISP) and I don’t think they’ll change it
hey :]
look i’m really really stuck
can anyone help me?
hmm, reverse DNS, again one thing I don’t know
Let’s look at that how to
The DNS name can be pretty much anything, reverse DNS is not a must have but mail servers are quite kinky in this.
i’m trying to emerge compiz-fusion, which depends on gnome-menus which depends on this thing called inotify_init
you should be able to do it with /etc/hosts by adding an entry at the top like: ‘your.ip gondolin.elvanor.net gondolin’.
i can’t emerge inotify_init – there are no ebuilds for it
aaa vesa didn’t work
so i don’t know wtf it is
all i know is that gnome_headers checks for it, and it’s not there
Help! :’(
you probably want fam. and the inotify kernel option.
what’s fam?
Thanks zlin
file allocation monitor, or something like that. use gamin nowadays
it lets applications (such as file browsers) know that a new file exists, so you don’t need to refresh manually
oh….okay
and whats the inotify kernel option?
cd /usr/src/linux; make menuconfig; /inotify, find it and then ‘h’ for help
yeah, meant gamin. :p
fam is inefficient. inotify isn’t. gamin is a (mostly) fam-compatible library to help those apps in userspace that are smart enough to know how to use fam but not smart enough to use inotify directly.
in other words, you probably don’t want fam.
….
oh, okay
well i tried emergeing fam, and it said fam 2.something was blocking it
so i already have fam, which might be the problem
think of gamin as a wrapper for inotify that pretends to be fam.
so i should ditch fan and go with gamin?
ahhh
and it’s better?
cool.
so… what exactly is the inotify?
something that keeps track of what’s installed?
it’s like fam, but from the kernel
notifys if files are changed
http://kerneltrap.org/node/3847
so that u dont have to poll for changes
oh right.
so it’s like… a process that’s always running
checking for file changes
btw, the gamin portage thingy is down
this explanation is better: http://lwn.net/Articles/104343/
actually, gnome.org is down
The really stupid thing is i don’t even have gnome
or kde
but i couldn’t emerge compiz-fusion without gnome/kde USE flags
even though the flags aren’t in make.conf
um, your mirror should carry any required files. I suggest ftp://gentoo.virginmedia.com/sites/gentoo or http://gentoo.virginmedia.com/
Thanks kerframil :] I didn’t know my ISP did that ^_^
hey guys. is there a switch that allows one to emerge only the necessary libraries (not header files, man pages etc.) for uclibc?
has anyone seen issues with emacs acting funny? things like the cursor being displayed in the wrong location (leading to character insertions being displayed incorrectly, etc)
anybody using x11-drm and a pcie gfx adapter?
what kernel?
2.6.22
problem is, x11-drm gives me warnings when compiling about missing agp stuff
well, why should I need agpgart when having a pcie card?
I’d be very suprised if x11-drm would compile at all against that card
i’m pretty sure you need to gart code, even with pcie
Skunky, I see…
any why is this?
why would I want agp stuff, when using pcie?
loading the module fails because of unknown symbols like
Unknown symbol unmap_page_from_agp
omg, I love pekwm
Oh, that’s cool, my ISP allows me to personalize my reverse DNS
hehe
nice
nice ISP …
Yes, very very nice
I’ll be a customer for life. They even allow you to legally download MP3s here in France…
I believe mine does too, I just never got round to doing so
as in the rDNS thing
not the mp3 thing
i’m seriously fedup of this now
i just want to install one program
and i get probelm after problem ~)_
Hmm, however, for reverse DNS I can have only one domain I guess
I have currently 3 domains pointed at my unique IP
and of course for reverse DNS I can point to only one
Am I right?
yes
can someone explain to me one thing?
please.
just one tiny thing _
is there a graphviz binary?
no one?
just … like …ask!
John, don’t ask to ask, just ask.
okay, well
thanx
you’re welcome
i’m trying to emerge a program right
Does anyone know why wxGTK 2.8 isn’t even in the portage tree yet?
and while stuff is scrolling down i see “USE flags = gnome, kde”
but i don’t have gnome OR KDE so i don’t want support for it
dirtyepic is working on it, but it’s quite tricky
so i check make.conf, and sure enough there is a USE flag for gnome and kde
funny, seeing as i removed it when i ran through the installer :/
so i delete the two USE flag entries, and try running the emerge (program) again
and it still says “USE flags = gnome. kde”
John, try adding “-gnome” and “-kde” to /etc/make.conf
bonsaikitten, ah! thanks
hm
because the emerge has been stopped half way through
how to i remove all of the things left by the emerge, so i can start again?
i did what you said btw ni1s
thank you :]
John, $ emerge –depclean, but are you sure you need to start over completly?
yeah, well… i don’t want anything to do with gnome or kde on my box
as a dependancy of gnome (gnome_menus) buggers things up
John, do $ emerge –info | grep USE\= ,and check what USE-flags are on, then minus the ones you don’t want on by default in make.conf
how can I set up a secure remote X session connecting to kdm on my home machine?
Yes, will be great when we have WGTK 2.8
I have been waiting on a correct FTP client for Linux for ages
So really looking forward to Filezilla which needs latest version of wxGTK
im loading a module, but it seems it doesnt load properly so i have to redo with rmmod each time i boot, what config file do i find the loading in?
BlueG, does this help? http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_X-forwarding or this? http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Tunnel_VNC_over_ssh
konqueror … 
Konq does not do SFTP
you can also use nx
fish
other than that, I agree, Konq is not bad
majorjrk, look at /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.* ,* being 4 or 6
fish?
Don’t know this one
Hello! I”m configuring postfix with courier and mysql to create a new mailserver. I can recieve pop3 over ssl and send email from a local account however smtp authentication using tls failes with reason unknown in my syslog. I have no idea.
FIle protocol over sSH
Does it have a GUI?
it’s just a protocol in konqueror
fish://user@host/
konqueror does sftp fine here
How??
How can I be able to see slideshow in the root window in gnome? I am using “xloadimage -onroot -global -delay 1 *.jpg”
Maybe there’s an USE flag I did not set then
I can just enter sftp:// URIs
hm
Or is there a gnome equivalent to xloadimage -onroot?
it is my understanding that vnc is slower that X… someone correct me if I am wrong
i’m told x11-proto/xproto is blocking something
but when i do emerge -C xproto, it says it can’t find it
vnc is a remote protocol, it does compression and a few other things, X is mostly local
nor emerge -C x11-proto/xprot
p
over slow links vnc will be better, on a local LAN remote X should be faster
why would you do that?
hi
nyk2005, not über user friendly but, http://www.charlescurley.com/wallpaper2.html
True, Konqueror does sftp !!?
i have a question about Prelinking
John, you don’t want X11?
I don’t understand why I thought it did not then…
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/prelink-howto.xml
thanks!!
i keep getting; Cannot prelink against non-PIC shared library /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1
for each program prelink tries to prelink
yeah, known issue – don’t use badly compiled stuff
:q
or convince nvidia to clean up their stuff
i know nvidia lib wasnt compiled with PIC so i guess it’;s normal, but will have see that error till the end of running prelink -amR ??
non-critical but very annoying error …
bonsaikitten, i assume you haev an ATI card ?
the one on X-forwarding looks like what I am looking for… I think…
I have different things
but no card that has working drivers
ati fails in different ways from nvidia
should i leave prelinking running anyway ???
BlueG, I’ve never done remote X’ing so I’m not sure either, but I hope it atleast sends you on the right way
yes
i guess it will prelink something later on then.. i hope..
does anyone of you have used gentoo with ICH7R raid? I see no of it in /dev/mapper even if I run gentoo live cd kernel with dodmraid
i remember running prelink some time ago and it took a very long time..
fakeraid 
why?
wIrEs, first runs take awhile yes
problem is i cant find the prelink thread in gentoo forums which helped me with some issues last time :/
why would vnc be better over a slow connection (vnc over a slow connection is painful… lagging, keystrokes appear multiple times, etc) and what would be considered a slow connection?
oke
bonsaikitten, it’s all what I have
thanks then
isdn and slower
vnc over 256kbit+ works quite nicely
linux software raid is much nicer
try to [censored] up with this ICH7R, or just install secure linux web hosting software raid
I am talking about probably using my Universities T1 to connect to my home box with high-speed cable connection
BlueG, what bonsaikitten said, slower than that and plain ssh in terminal is the way to go
second option is much less work
Which configuration file sets the domainname in Gentoo?
The one that is returned by “domainname”
/etc/conf.d/hostname
i’m doing “emerge –update –newuse –deep world”
?
and it blocks it
same as for hostname ???
who blocks what why
hmm, I might be wrong there
same file?
dnsdomainname isnt working ;/
John, xproto?
rc-update add dnsdomainname default not possible..
yeah i do, but after doing a depclean you are ment to do a emerge –update –newuse…
and it blocks it so i was going to remove it and hopefully the updatde world would replace it with something newer
is there an easy way to get all my resolutions correct automaticly ?
John, what is it that it blocks?
wIrEs, isn’t that something you set in /etc/resolv.conf?
a
Ok, is there a way to connect to an X server hosting that is already running on a remote machine with a new display on the remote machine?
is there some way someone can look at my screen
and explain to me what they would do?
because this is just too much -_-;
BlueG, using a second display you mean?
and what if you want to connect to an existing X display? do you need vnc to do that, or is there a potentially more efficient way?
woah, sorry, some serious lag on my end
yes, if there is already a display open on the remote machine, starting a second display for your remote connection
xproto-7.0.6 blocks libX11-1.0.1-r1
but -C xproto tells me there is nothing called xproto
John, look at the entries in /var/lib/portage/world, remove the ones you are absolutly sure you don’t want abd rerun emerge –depclean
John, Oh! $ emerge libX11 should fix it
eww – don’t edit the world file manually!
especially when it’s totally unnecessary to fix the problem
John, what the… I don’t even have libX11-1.0.1-r1 in my portage tree
John, have you emerge –sync’ed?
yeahi synced last night.
hm
maybe i have Gentoo – cursed edition
ahh
prelinking is completed, nothing was prelinking..
now i get name resolution errors
Cannot prelink against non-PIC shared library /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1
same error on everything.
weird, i dont understand.. should i rebuild the entire system with -fPIC then ???? it’s confusing..
wIrEs, doesn’t mean _nothing_ was prelinked, just not against libGL
should i take this and say KDE was prelinked ?
right
stuff it
reinstall gentoo (for the third time in 24h)
you’re doing it wrong then
clearly.
means nvidia has handed you a crummy library against which stuff links
John, reread the handbook
patience and asking the right questions are rare skills …
well this is a known problem
so i guess anyone using the nvidia driver has the same problem..
I’ve read it like 10 times now
none of it applies to my system
i can’t install using a non-networked install
only networkless
mmmh, going for the most tricky method
some dumb errors with the installer not liking partitions of an unknown filetype (even though it doesn’t have to touch them)
you said installer
i unticked the kdm and gnome USE flags during install, but they got into the make.conf somehow
~sigh~
damn, I get kicked off.. bonsaikitten so you recommend don’t bother with on-board raid and use Linux’s one?
i dunno.
yes
installer is evil, we can’t support it here
okay, and how recovery procedure will look like? for example if 1 disk fail, would it automaticly boot from the second one?
maybe it’s because my gentoo CD is like… 2 months old
or would I be able to pull out my working drive, insert it into working linux machine, mount it and get data from it?
anyone in here use subversion?
no, you’re using the installer
sorry, I have never used raid
that is an option
can you show me how to submit my project to subversion?
linux can be however you want it to be
you mean create a new project? or commit changes to an existing one?
create a new project bonsaikitten
terver_, if its raid1 yes… raid0 you loose both if one fails… raid5 requires 3 or more drives
i have a project and i want to upload it to subversion
can i do that?
how can i compile xine-lib to get modplug support?
i’ve tried all USE flags that could even hint to it and still nothing 
you have a subversion server?
yeap
how do i upload it
have you used svnadmin to create a new project on the server?
nope
terver_, if the linux box youj plug the drive into has raid support and the remaining drive is raid1 youj should be able to recover the data from it
okie, google borderlines to being more than just your friend, a quick google on say, “subversion tutorial” would probably help
I suggest you read some subversion docs first
ok
thx
rommel, and what if I plug this only working drive into the system with non-raid installation?
USE=”qt3 qt4 kde dvd alsa cdr X mikmod xine-lib:modplug glitz opengl sdl xorg-x11 png mikmod jpeg mng ssl gd readline svg tcl tk tiff gtk -ipv6 yahoo gnome -zlib”
I won’t be able to get data??
where am i doing wrong?
Hmm, if kde doesnt load my screen etc from etc/X11/xorg.conf, where else would it get it ? been trying a dozen other places but cant find anything related
slotmove not recognized
is there a way to avoid Global Updates ?
if you’re referring to the RAID1 implementation in the kernel, yes – you will.
terver_, non-raid as in the kernel doesnt have the drivers needed to see that its raid?
you have a “:”
aleksanteri, what’s the “:” doing in there?
hehe, you haven’t updated in a long time …
RAID1 doesn’t change the composition of the data on the block devices involved.
what should be in there then?
It’s an old server
I suggest you save yourself some time and reinstall from scratch, that’s usually easier
so soft raid1 won’t add extra raid stuff to the disk?
which means that, if push comes to shove, you can mount it directly.
getting that updated will be really tricky
aleksanteri, not a “:” for sure,
It’s my predecessor who had it and never known what Linux realy is
and it will be completely transparrent to the os?
kerframil, would another box require raid1 support to read the sb correctly?
excellent!
no
ok
But I’ve sites on it and I cant move it for the moment
Can’t I force the emerging of portage ?
ah, extra fun.
or perhaps doing some binaries emerging ?
emergeing portage will be difficult already
someone from Germany here?
Yeah, dummy IT managers… pffff
at least, I know it’s possible to mount ext3 (because I’ve tried it .
aleksanteri, and there’s no “xine-lib” or “xorg-x11″ USE-flags
grub doesn’t have any problem with it either.
hmm
should i put just “xine” there then?
kerframil, yeah… i am not sure… i mean i have never attempted as not to waste any time… i have just had support added to be certain
So it will not be so simple… Ok, I think I’ll put pressure on my client to make him take a new server
anyone know if “3DataCard USB” is supported under linux ?
ah, “xine-lib:modplug” is a package, not a USE flag..
having RAID support is obviously wise. it can be started as a degraded array and properly manipulated.
for pagages use I use “ufed” it’s better to not make mistakes
kerframil, have you used listen music player?
Would the manual reinstall instructions not work to get portage up and running in his case?
kerframil, exactly… just never tried to nount boot a drive without it if it was raided
I haven’t. I am woefully behind on FLOSS desktop stuff.
early 2004 … unlikely
after that I would’ve thought he’d be OK, other than having to handle the major updates.
aleksanteri, xine-lib is a package, “modplug” is a USE-flag accepted by xine-lib, read http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=2
it would take me some luck to resurrect that
Is it like to rebuild from a stage 1 or something ?
CyberTotophe, ?
How do i setup my xorg.conf (not entirely by hand)
for making my crappy 2004 portage to run now
gentoo x server configuration majorjrk
nothing found
oops
gentoo majorjrk x server configuration
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
CyberTotophe, wow… 3 year old install?…… that should be fun
anyone know why asm/page.h wouldn’t be installed by the kernel? (running xen on gentoo and trying to compile ocfs2-tools)
From what bonsaikitten is saying, I suspect your best bet is to back up, wipe and start from scratch using a stage 3, then restore data and configuration from backups.
rody, it is the location i think changed… you can symlink it
everything older than about a year is work, at about two years you approach a cutoff where updating becomes critical
forget but google it
But in this case, i’ll transfert the site to our main isp. It’s just that I have to convince the client but I can say : Do that or soon your server will be down and unrecoverable
soon?
muhahaha
it looks like it’s only in source of the xen; nothing else
how can youj have a sever with a three year old install with no updating
In the other hand the isp support team of this server do not know Gentoo anymore…
Easily – look at debian users
It’s not my fault, I wasn’ there before
How can you not fire an IT manager that handler linux servers and do not know what is ssh or su or man or …
CyberTotophe, strange to have gentoo though of all distros and have it be that outdated
My Gentoo servers that I have managed since the begin are all uptodate and running :p
rody, i had that issue but i think it was actually a linux header change that eventually was corrected… i just dont remember the particulars of what in my case was affected… symlinking got around the comile issue i was having and didnt seem to have any adverse affects
So where can i see what vsync and hz my current setup uses, as i want my setup to be just like it is now, but since the xorg.conf is kinda empty that makes a problem
But if you want I can give you the address of the old it manager so we can go there and burn his house
hey
i want to install gentoo on a dualcore … whats best release snapshot ? ia64 or x86 ?
majorjrk, take a look at sys-apps/ddcxinfo-knoppix
whazilla, neither
:p
ia64 if you have an itanium
lol
core 2 duo
amd64 if its not
i686 for 32bit, amd64 for 64bit
x86=i386
yeah but x86 will work too
ya but insane
take i686 then
if not 64bit
i dont see i686 in map releases :$
also no it wont work with glibc-2.5
yeah… i just meant the arch not the actually stage
ah i ment the stage :p
although i do tend to go from stage1 and set make.conf manually
so x86 it is
rommel, stage1 is deceprecated
since some time :p
well its still maintained… released… but not supported here… i dont need the support here…
I think it has been hack-fixed
effectively, x86 is equivalent to i486 now in terms of gentoo release media. =2007.0 x86 stageballs use a i486-pc-linux-gnu CHOST target and is not subject to the problem that you mentioned.
kerframil, ah good to know
the glibc problem is a red herring.
hehe, also a way to put it :p
mmmh, raw fish
heh, well I have observed, on various occasions, others proclaiming x86 stageballs to be somehow “wrong” or “broken”. fiddlesticks, I say
Hello Guys
kerframil, heh never done that yet, but always try to make sure that people who actually want i686 dont take 486 :p
I have a webapp-config question … anyone here knowledgeable with it?
i don’t know how to connect to my WPA2 wifi.
I ported my Gentoo Linux from my Laptop to my Computer via a Stage-4 tarball. Now I am trying to boot the system, but for ‘Letting udev process events’ fails, it can not check the root filesystem (so it does not boot). I can not find any error message of udev.
Take a look at /etc/conf.d/wireless (or so), maybe WPA2 is already in …
did you copy the static device nodes which are to be found under /dev where udev is _not_ active?
coolsmile, i don’t really have a /etc/conf.d/wireless file (i do have the example file) but i’m looking for some wpa_cli help actually :’)
I made two of them (console, null) with mknod. Should there be more?
how do i make my gentoo bootable after manuall install ?
with a bootloader?
Is wpa_cli part of wpa_supplicant?
i mean my /dev/sda1 is a ntsc partition
wo what bootloader and how :p
emerge -av grub
coolsmile, i think it is (got installed when i installed wpa_supplicant)
baselayout provides more and I would advise copying them. however, if you’ve created console and null, that should be quiet enough for udev so the problem must lie elsewhere.
that will automaticly install to mbr ?
no
making vista not bootable ?
i wanne make vista unbootable
whazilla, grub allows you to choose what OS to boot
whazilla, format c:/
whazilla, or remove some system32 files ^^
Follow the instructions from your the Gentoo Documentation (stand by for link)
shred /dev/windows part
fdisk /dev/sda -d 1 w
german invasion today it seems…
never seen so many here :p
can anyone help me with wpa_supplicant to connect to my wifi?
renihs, they’re sneaking their way in ^^
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml#doc_chap2 (Headline ‘configuring the bootloader’)
my best german lol
I use /etc/conf.d/wireless to connect to a wpa (1) network
you fail at german
whazilla, thats no german at all
looks more like french
i know :p
coolsmile, hmm, but i tried conf.d/wireless a while ago, and it involved too much editing for my taste ^^ could you help me with wpa_supplicant? (or even better, wpa_cli?)
u got to read between the lines i guess
whazilla, i only saw 1 line
I just added two lines to my /etc/conf.d/wireless to use wpa_supplicant, in fact.
modules=( “wpa_supplicant” “dhcpcd” )
wpa_timeout_eth1=10
coolsmile, adding ^^ what do they do?
I also have a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
They configured the /etc/init.d/net.* script to use wpa_supplicant to connect to wireless networks
better continue installing now
coolsmile, you lost me there xD if it’s possible, could you first help me with wpa_cli? once that’s done, i can move around the house and read up on the conf.d/wireless part stuff :’)
I can actually use wpa_gui to configure my network.
I am sorry, but I do not even know what wpa_cli is.
coolsmile, lol xD i don’t even have a GUI ^^
And I am pretty sure it is possible to connect to WPA2 with wpa_supplicant
You dont have to use wpa_gui ..
coolsmile, lol xD but i want to use wpa_cli (want to learn myself some terminal skills)
hello. I have a problem with compiling a kernel with Intel Pro 1000 support. I originally installed genkernel from the live CD. Then I emerged the kernel sources and compiled my own kernel. But I can’t seem to get it to recognise my NIC. dmesg says it is an Intel Pro/1000 card but on bootup I get the error message “network interface eth0 does not exist /n Please verify hardware or…
….kernel module (driver)”. What am I missing?
I cant help you with wpa_cli, I am sorry.
another question; how can i get a mouse in my tty? i had a mouse when i used the install-cd, but now i don’t have one :’(
coolsmile, thx though, still helped a bit :’)
gpm
bonsaikitten, emerging it now
you need to start /etc/init.d/gpm to enable it too
hi
bonsaikitten, thx!
np
when I do emerge -s package, I get the following
mto@kunduz ~ $ emerge -s google
!!! ARCH is not set… Are you missing the ‘/etc/make.profile’ symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?
w00t, i have a mouse!!
how can I fix it?
bonsaikitten, thx
Can somebody tell me what the boot-process ‘Letting udev process events’ does?
edit /etc/make.profile and put the path in to portage
emerge –sync ?
/etc/make.profile should be a symlink
I think that’s where udevd starts
Ok, if udev fails, do you know a place where I can get error messages?
so it is
how do i do this cmd again to checkout r19 ? or r20 ? emerge gentoo-sources
=sys-kernel/ and then ?
can i browse those reportoires somewhere ?
can anyone help me to use a framebuffer? i’d like to watch movies via console
ls -la /usr/portage/
kool
as in ascii porn movies or just launch mplayer from console ?
well u need color conversion to ascii then
fftw
whazilla, lol ascii porn movies? teach me! (my actual question is; how to see a movie without a gui)
as in running without X and getting full-screen video
do you have framebuffer enabled?
ah mplayer :p
bonsaikitten, i don’t know. How do i check?
I followed the ALSA guide (ac97 integrated audio device) everything seems to be working; no errors on alsasound start; volume levels are up; but still no sound – any suggestion?
* IMPORTANT: 3 config files in ‘/etc’ need updating. — any chance to find out which configs those are? 
perpleXa, dispatch-conf
type etc-update
k ty
How do i setup resolutions in xorg.conf without having to do everything by hand, i tried xorgcfg, but that only gave me for hz/vz for the screen, i just want the rest of my resolutions listed
hmm, this might be a tad more complicated
perpleXa, you have two options, etc-update (as the guide says) or dispatch-conf – either of these will let you update your config files
I can’t emerge xclock, it get’s me errors like “…../libfontconfig.so: undefined reference to “XML_…..”
bonsaikitten, try me ^^
dispatch-conf is probably a little more configurable
Does somebody know where to find error messages of udev?
thanks, I’m doing it now
coolsmile, did you check /var/log/ ? perhaps you can see something there
bye all
/var/log does not exist.
how do i do this cmd again to checkout r19 ? or r20 ? emerge gentoo-sources
have a look around in your kernel config
coolsmile ? probabely got it wrong then
whazilla, specify it with =
emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-version-bla
thxs, bye all
=sys-kernel/whatcomeshere N?
when you have framebuffer enabled you should be able to use e.g. vga=791 in the bootloader to switch to 1024×768
bonsaikitten, aid a noob (where is the kernel config? what do i check it for?) :’)
once that works you’re almost there
got a website i can browse easily with links ?
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r5 for example
bonsaikitten, still a long way to go then xD
all is down atm :$
thank you
ah, cd /usr/src/linux; make menuconfig
whazilla, google.com
got them updated
like websvn from ps2dev
but to browse all reportoires
so, any help on ALSA?
from portage that is
whats wrong with alsa ? sure its not just muted ?
bonsaikitten, what am i looking for? (this is my first day on a working gentoo system)
anyone?
whazilla, everything seems to be working fine with alsa, Master and PCM are unmuted – but still no sound – is there something else that should be unmuted?
sigh 
bonsaikitten, don’t shoot me ;o
support for framebuffer devices
sorry, but this won’t be as easy as I hoped
whazilla, it could be how I have mplayer configured…
bonsaikitten, thx for the help btw
check in mplayer for a sdl_sound lib lol
does aplay work?
np
hey all, … i am brand new to gentoo
bonsaikitten, framebuffer support is built-in
that is good already
can someone tell me how to install precompiled packages ??? sometimes it takes to much time to compile them!#
Skunky, what sort of file will aplay play?
afile
sometimes there is package-bin
There is an announcement on gentoo.org about packages.gentoo.org being down, I just wanted to ask right away: will this affect my ability to install gentoo (never did it before)?
bonsaikitten, do i need to check something other then just framebuffer support? the things below it?
e.g. openoffice
ligi so just type emerge mozille-firefox-bin `???
..wav
exactly
not at all
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
no effect at all.
how to solve a mask ?
yeah, you should enable support for whatever you have
packages.gentoo.org is just a webbased interface to look up package information
network interface eth0 does not exist
bonsaikitten, is it alright if i just enable the whole shi-bang?
looks like your kernel is lacking bits
I have a problem with compiling a kernel with Intel Pro 1000 support. I originally installed genkernel from the live CD. Then I emerged the kernel sources and compiled my own kernel. But I can’t seem to get it to recognise my NIC. dmesg says it is an Intel Pro/1000 card but on bootup I get the error message “network interface eth0 does not exist /n Please verify hardware or kernel module…
should work
….(driver)”. What am I missing?
Skunky, aplay doesn’t seem to work
how do i set x86 mask ?
Hi, how can i set locale from POSIX to UTF8 ?
okay. yeah, I guess there would be a bigger fuzz if “gentoo was down”
definitely
“Unable to start he sound server to retrieve possible sound I/O methods…..”
bonsaikitten, i exited menuconfig, and entered ‘make’, is this correct?
Select the audio device
that’s because kde is silly and wants arts to run. ignore it.
okay
how do i delete downloaded package sources ???
first make aplay work, THEN worry about kde, mplayer, and whatever else. if aplay won’t work, nothing else will either.
Skunky, so how do I make aplay work?
/usr/portage/distfiles — there
also eclean
is it compiled in or built as a module?
well, what happens? does it give an error?
bonsaikitten, thanks
Skunky, Playing WAVE ‘/usr/kde/3.5/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Pop.wav’ : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 11127 Hz, Mono
which bits? I have “Intel(R) PRO/100+ support” turned on under device drivers-Network device support-Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) and I have “Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet support” turned on under Ethernet (1000 Mbit).
compiled
try it as a module, sometimes that works
Hi all
_ace2016_ hiya
How can I set default locale for all users from POSIX to UTF8 ?
Skunky, I’m not sure if that’s an error – it doesn’t return to the command line when playing mp3’s (as though it’s still playing? ) but there is still no sound
in my experience, some drivers work as modules and not when compiled in, and vice versa
Any nvidia user here know if its possible to resize my desktop to take up 800×600 in the middle of a 1024×768 screen? like this: http://img409.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktoptm2.jpg
is it the nvidia driver or x that can do that?
“dmesg | grep eth” — does that show anything?
what display manager is recommended for fluxbox ?
doesn’t matter if you mean the login manager
rox
wether it is xdm, kdm or gdm makes no difference at all
bonsaikitten, okay
what makes you think aplay can play mp3 files?
can anyone recommend a console-based music-player?
Skunky, I didn’t, I just tried
I guess it can’t
i’ve been enjoying moc very much
it shows “forcedeth.c: Reverse-engineered uForce ethernet driver. Version 0.57.”
akahn, emerging it atm
mp3blaster I think, mpd for fancy stuff (needs a frontend), mplayer
is there a graphical packet manager for gentoo ,.. like synaptics for debian ???
dmesg | egrep -i “eth|net|intel” shows:
bonsaikitten, thx for the suggestions :’)
.wav files. only play .wav files. open up alasmixer, and start playing with things. crank up the volume on everything, mute things, unmute things, play a .wav between each change, till you find the right settings.
Loads, Kuroo and porthole are a couple. I wouldn’t totally rely on them though.
hello can somebody tell me if It is necessary for me to make a hibernate partition like I have a swap partition?
If so… can I share this hibernate partition with win xp?
hibernate will use swap. you should have at least as much swap as memory
damn why does it take such a long time to compile gcc
….. but I have two gigabyte ram… so 4 GB swap partition?
Skunky, how do you unmute in alsamixer?
Press ‘M’.
Is it possible to also have the hiberfil.sys and the pagefile.sys from windows stay there?
that should be more than enough
rej, thanks
you can even run mkswap on pagefile.sys and use that as swap
I have oriblems emerging xclock I don’t know why but I think it is problem with that it can’t find file libfontconfig.so which exists
i had to use the newer version that is masked in order to get AAC to work, but everythign else worked great
5 port4 dnsmasq[7843]: no address range available for DHCP request via
akahn, i just can’t get it started ^^(typing in ‘moc’ doesn’t do anything)
it means dnsmasq’s dhcp server has no free IP adresses to hand out
how do i run the dhcp daemon on eth2 ???
Skunky, the I should be able to leave all of the inputs muted correct?
dhcpcd eth2
sorry for asking stupid questions, i just changed from debian
I dont think I understood that… I want to know if it is possible to have both the pagefil and the hiberfil from windows xp be on that partition and when I am running linux have both the swap and hibernation utilize that partition also
Soulchild, i did too ^^ (don’t worry ’bout the stupid questions, peeps are friendly here)
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xen_and_Gentoo . I have emerged xen-sources-2.6.20-r2, but I can’t even find most of the kernel configuration items that I’m supposed to enable…
iarwain_, great
oh, that is well hidden
in menuconfig type / and search for xen may them
NullAcht15, great nick
linux uses swap for hibernation. swap can either be an entire partition or a file. if you got 2GB ram, you should have at least 2GB swap for hibernation
modules doesn’t seem to work either. Same result.
I’ve set up a xen host just yesterday, took me some searching too …
Er, I was a bit too quick to ask. Turns out you first have to change the subarchitecture type to XEN-compatible, and then the menu items will pop up
the binary is called mocp because moc is some qt utility
in theory, yes. but, soemtimes they’re mis-labeled
moc+”player”
thx
and linux will use 2 GB for hibernation and the rest for my programs? How do you move the files permanently from windows thank you
exactly
if you have any specific problems … I just did it all, I should be able to help
i need a 32bit version of gcrypt. is there a way i can get emerge to compile it as 32bit, or does anyone know of best method to steal a binary (rpm, .deb)?
32bit chroot
linux will use up to 2GB for hibernation, but only when you hibernate. what do you mean by “move the files permanently from windows”?
hmm, i’m not really an expert on this, were there any other options in the kernel config that seemed similar? or maybe a generic driver?
did it work under genkernel? maybe there’s a way to find out what driver was used under that setup
aye, does that mean i have to create a chroot env or is there an already made method?
ive got a problem with confixx and postfix+courier-pop3: confixx added users for postfix but i dont know how authtication is to be setup for courier-pop3 :/
I mean that the files hiberfil.sys and pagefil.sys that windows xp makes to represent swap and hibernation should be moved from their normal positions to the new partition
creating a chroot is the easiest option
ok, thanks
I fail to see how that is a gentoo problem
what’s the package name for eclean ?
courier-pop3 is a application provided with gentoo and there is a confixx howto in gentoo-wiki
app-portage/gentoolkit
it did work under genkernel, yes. Anyone know how I can go back to genkernel? I’ve tried all the similar options I can think of. Just wondering if I need some option somewhere else in menuconfig that seems unrelated to me but is needed to get it to work.
sounds like a confixx problem, and confixx is not officially supported
Skunky, still no go
in properties of “My Computer” I think you can set how much swap is used on each partition, but that’s more of a ##windows question
nope its a problem with my authlib config as far as i can see that
thank you, I will make the partition 4 GB now then
did you switch the gentoo-sources using eselect or is there a different method?
does network-manager also work with fluxbox ?
which ntfs version should I format a shared ntfs partiton to, when wanting interoperability on linux
is there anyway using emerge to update all packages of a category? I’ve lots of dev-java packages which have an update in portage, and I don’t want to update the whole of the world, just the dev-java category
there are multiple ntfs versions?
you can emerge -u particular packages
if i was sharing space between both systems i think i’d use fat32
since emerge -u won’t install new packages that aren’t already installed, it should be pretty easy to script up a list
just to keep things simple.
that’s more than 70 packages, writing the name of each one is kinda …
you can write a shell script.
cd /usr/portage/ && emerge -up dev-java/*
Priceless
is ntfs version 3.1 used by win xp supported by NTFS-3G?
i have ntfs-3g read vista and xp, and it works fine
read/write
wow, was a really cool trick, I’m a damn dumb
hmm, that works ?!
I’d have expected /var/db/pkg
no.
hang on
portage has changed, somewhat
victor`: I will try the newest version then
no, in /var/db/pkg are the package versions
is there any way to kill a process if kill -9 doesn’t work?
I know, but that’s the easiest way to get all installed packages
ok, this one’s a little more annoying, but should work
reboot?
=/
cd /var/db/pkg && emerge -up `for A in dev-java/*; do echo ‘=’$A; done`
cd /var/db/pkg/ && for i in dev-java/*; do echo “${i%-[0-9]*}”; done | xargs emerge -up
that’s probably better than mine, good thought
use chithead’s
actually, this one’s best, IMO
cd /var/db/pkg && list=(dev-java/*); echo emerge -up “${list[@]/#/=}”
hi guys
any of you got videos being played with gnash?
Dank
hi everyone
Any Flash =7 movie should do.
I want to put Gnome as my desktop manager, where do I have to put the lines?
/etc/conf.d/xdm
That’s for your display manager. And ~/.xinitrc for your desktop.
gentoo fraternoster gnome howto
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnome-config.xml
rej well …
any flash movie does nto start :-/
i see the first frame – but it does not “play”
do you have a flash7 swf that works for you?
ManaPirat, using 32bit os or 64bit
is it difficult to setup a serial terminal? I need to connect to a cisco box
64bit
ManaPirat, it will need to be run with 32bit browser … ask in gentoo-amd64
i would use adobe-flash if it was 32bit – no i dont want to chroot my firefox – i like it 32bit
rommel not gnash – gnash is supposed to run on 64bit
nspluginwrapper
eehm i like it 64bit!
oh gnash… thats just broken probably
hmm bonsai
I’m using grup, so I just emerged the sources, ran menuconfig, compiled and installed then edited menu.lst to point to the new kernel
ok i’ll try
I mean grb, not grup
bonsaikitten, is that working again
damn keyboard! grub
as good as a hack around a bugfix can work
it has been quite consistently working for me for the last month or so
bonsaikitten, well it was working then something broke it and havent bothered checking in a while… got busy
thats good to know
should i install adobe flash 9 my hand then and issue “nspluginwrapper -i path-to-32bit-plugin” ?
*shrug* commercial cr…p
ManaPirat, yes
bonsaikitten, yeah… exactly
i see. i’ve never used genkernel, so i don’t really know how it works… but i would go back and do what you did to set up genkernel in the first place
In partiton magic pro I cannot make a Linux Swap partition the size of 4 GB? why not? I want it for both hibernation and normal swap
gabster, thats not a gentoo question or a linux question
do it with fdisk
although 4gb seems excessive no matter what you want it for
use a live linux cd with gparted or soemthing
disk space?
&25
works
It is related to linux yes… as I am trying to make a swap partition for use with gentoo. cd_rom: 160 GB total I want a 4 GB swap partition
gabster, no its a limitation of a windows program
but is it possible?
apparently not
lol – second flash video and my firerfox freezes
try gparted like cd_rom said of fdisk
hi all
I can also use Gparted if you please for that… but that won’t help If it isn’t possible
need some help for a new ebuild
I obtain this error:
/join #gentoo-dev-help
rej, thx
gabster, i dont think there is a size limit for swap… but i havent tried using a partition that large… that would not seem to be needed unless it was for a huge server… even then i am not sure it would be necessary
Hello all! I have a problem withinstalling Gentoo Linux. There is no standart drivers for my ethernet controller. But, I found and downloaded unofficial driver. Can i compile and load it before kernel compilation?
perhaps he’s trying to make use of tmpfs
POLTER, probably not before since it has to use the kenrel to compile against
I have a laptop with 2 GB ram and for hibernation I would need the same, plus 2 GB for program swap
POLTER, whats the eth device
anyone know a good stopwatch program for linux, cli or gui is fine….
Attansic
it is built-in in my mother board
http://pastebin.ca/674822 if you need more input tell me
i forget the name of the graphical paketmanager for gentoo,… like synaptic for debian
so, i need to compile kernel first?
x11-plugins/wmtimer is described as having a chronograph mode…
POLTER, well there is a driver supposedly merged into 2.6.20-git5 and up… so thats the good news… i guess you just need to find a really new iso with updated kernel… try knoppix or anything else?
[N] x11-plugins/wmtimer (2.9.2): Dockable clock which can run in alarm, countdown timer or chronograph mode
you need to paste more info, go back another 30 lines or so
SoulChild, porthole?
narcoclepsy, thanks
wait wait thats completely wrong
narcoclepsy,
POLTER, yes to build the driver you need to compile it agaisnt a kernel source that has to be configured built and in use
But, in InstallDVD there is no kernel..
and what is Knoppix?
porthole was for VIDAlinux
any help on configuring a tftp server?
here it is http://pastebin.ca/674828
i’m using xeffects plugin, how would i upgrade a -9999 package? i get many svn updates, but nothing seems to need an upgrade, it just stays at -9999
isn’t there a portage-misc or portage-util, something like that you can check out?
you need to manually re-emerge those packages
apparently your choices are kuroo (qt) and porthole (gtk)
thanks
POLTER, there has to be a kernel but you’ll need source etc to compile a driver against it… and knoppix has a livecd you can use… you can use any for of livecd to install gentoo… all you need is access to chroot env
No module named dbus
will rebuilding dbus help me with this ?
what version of gcc are you using?
Thanks! I’l try it
The atl1 driver was released as part of kernel version 2.6.21 on April 27, 2007.
POLTER, http://www.hogchain.net/attansic/attansic.html
gcc 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.1)
!!!! THANKS!!!
how do i install a masked package ?
unmasked it
SoulChild, depends on the mask.. but by way of /etc/portage/
i dont know, try the ~ version or check bugs.gentoo.org
But I will need the latest portage tree to install this kernel offline?
how do i install ~ version?
POLTER, yeah … or fairly recent
ok, thanks a lot! tou really helped me
what kenrel is the newest iso using?
*really
you may want other advise first, but to install the testing version you would need to add an entry in /etc/portage/package.keywords
ok, i think i can handle that
DAMN,… debian was much easiert to handle
how do i add dbus support for python ?
SoulChild, you were just use to it… gentoo is easy once you learn your way around it
USE=”dbus” emerge python if im right
rommel, do you think so ? ,… mhhh
yeah i know so… just a learning curve thing
windows was also lots easier to handle as i tried my first linux
doll4, nope
why does a base system with xorg and fluxbox take 2 GB of space ???
python doesnt has such a useflag
really … when you got a dll error how easy was that
SoulChild, USE flags probably
i just mentioned it, cuz i thought the same as SoulChild
use server profile if you want a very small system and add only what you want
server profile ? where to change the profile ?
ezerhoden, ?
Does anyone know how to configure a tftp server?
if you have already installed it is too late, but eselect profile list will list your options
i guess it is the non desktop profile
ezerhoden, i have 9 differnet standing there,… what does that mean ?
those are the options, the * is the current profile
ezerhoden, there is a blue star on “default-linux/x86/2007.0 *”
ezerhoden, ahh so how do i change do desktop version ?
you mean installing a desktop environment?
doll4, no
eselect profile set number of the 2007.0 desktop profile
where can i download the latest genoo-sources? with atl1 support
then I think you need to do: emerge -uavDN world to update your system
how can i search for a particular version of a package ? i mean search what depends on a particular package version ?
Hi. I’m use 2.6.22-gentoo-r5, and can’t install rt2×00(cvs) driver…
so if you change your profile do you have to emerge -e world?
damn it takes a long time to sync portage
not really. only update the packages that needs updating. so emerge -uavDN world would be enough
emerge -uDNav world should be sufficient
where in the kernel config is the serial port settings?
look under device drivers
cool thanks. always nice when you see something on here and you go “umm.. i didn’t do that…”
damn python
and dbus
Ehnvis, after that do you have an idea?
what is sdc4 for grub ? hd0,0 ?
/dev/sdc4 that is
whazilla probably not
sorry no idea. but give me a minute or two
do you have sda and sdb? or even some hda, hdb or the like?
yes
Serial drivers
but ther not anything i can touch (sda and sdb )
and i got a hda
sdc
Ehnvis, thanks
guys I have a python script (vzmem.py) I use $ python vzmem.py 512 106 to run it but I wanna do ./vzmem.py 512 106 is there a way to do this?
chmod +x vzmem.py
hm, you only have one harddisk, and that’s sdc?
that don’t work
make sure #! /path/to/python is the first line
how does the first line in that script look like?
@channel, i experienced serious problems with udev at boottime. i tested every version which is in portage. the symptoms are the same: when it comes to the ‘letting udev events’ during bootime, it just freezes or freezes with some oops or it enters a loop, dependent on which udev-version i use. the only working version is udev-087, but it is not in portage. (2.6.22-gentoo-r5, x86, baselayout-1.12.9-r2) can anybody give some advise?
what nickburns says has to be on the first line
anyone tried to play games on a triple screen config (with 2 nvidia cards) ?
the first line its “import os”
then add what nickburns said on the first line
yes lonex
I was going to emerge k3b but there’s a lot of dependencies…What’s up with linguas_?
I need to add “chmod +x vzmem.py” to the first line?
sounds weird… well, then sdc4 probably is (hd0,3)
ah kool
pay attention, make sure #! /path/to/python is the first line
if that’s not it, also try hd2,3 and hd3,3
thanks nickburns
any time
tnks nickburns
any time
anyone want to take a look at my xorg.conf and xorg.log and figure out why the hell it’s not working?
I was going to emerge k3b but there’s a lot of dependencies…What’s up with linguas_?
you can set linguas in make.conf to compile programs in your language
if im right
Oh.
Well, I don’t want it to emerge all of those other languages, then.
strange, my system wants to downgrade mplayer in “emerge -uNDvp world” – [ebuild UD] media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc1_p20070622-r4 [1.0.20070622-r1] … r4 is stable on x86, and “equery d mplayer” shows no version dependency … what is wrong?
looks like it wants to upgrade
do you have a line saying LINGUAS in your /etc/make.conf?
ah, yes – the old ebuild is no longer available and naming scheme was changed
thanks
sure thing
No, Ehnvis,
@channel, i experienced serious problems with udev at boottime. i tested every version which is in portage. the symptoms are the same: when it comes to the ‘letting udev events’ during bootime, it just freezes or freezes with some oops or it enters a loop, dependent on which udev-version i use. the only working version is udev-087, but it is not in portage. (2.6.22-gentoo-r5, x86, baselayout-1.12.9-r2) can anybody give some advise?
anyone have any clues why when i install a new kernel page.h is not being installed?
and it still wants to emerge alot of languages for k3b?
Is there some kind of a bug with teh Pidgin ebuild? I just emerged it but I can’t find a Pidgin executable anywhere.
Yeah!
Most fo the depencies are linguas.
Like 80%+ of them.
I’m trying to setup X here, and when I run startx, I get “(EE) No drivers available.” … my logs give me no detail at all, trying to use vga or nvidia driver. Any suggestions?
then you must have something to tell it to emerge all those languages then. maybe something in /etc/portage/package.use? or package.keywords?
I am in big trouble! My system freezes regularly and my system logs are flooded with ATA errors, see here http://pastebin.ca/674862 Can anyone please explain these messages?
i guess you got your VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES in /etc/make.conf?
try vesa, nickburns
which use flags did you build pidgin with?
gah!
hrm, I have one of those really annoying intel HDA cards, and the sound works and everything, but when I play my headphones in, all sound stops but none comes through the headphones either, in alsamixer I have a headphone setting but I can’t move it above 0
No I don’t, Ehnvis.
my model is set to 3stack-660 which seems to be the correct one for my card with a google search, anything I’m missing perhaps?
do you have a device on your ata controller that’s not correctly working anymore?
nickburns, and also ,VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES are only used if xorg-server is emerged with the “xorg” USE-flag
hmmm can you pastebin emerge –info?
like a defective cdrom driver for example
nickburns, you could easily emerge whatever drivers you want after
got the xorg use-flag, forgot the video_cards
but i’ve already emerged nvidia-drivers too
which is strange
lonex, I have one PATA channel with DVDrom/DVDRW and four HDDs on SATA
lonex, the errors concern SATA ?
nickburns, $ emerge xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-keyboard ,and try again
i’ve done that too
pastebin?
seems so, sdc and sdd
Turns out if you don’t give pidgin the gtk USE flag, it doesn’t even install the graphical client
here is my log http://pastebin.com/m2203403c and conf http://pastebin.com/m7c434375
lonex, I swapped HDDs, and it still always is ata2.01
is that why pidgin won’t load?
Yeah.
yes thats correct.
It does install “finch” though, which is a command line client.
how do I fix it then?
/etc/portage/package.use
already tried to unplug one of the drives? and see what happens?
Oh I see what you meant by pastebin, Ehnvis. Sorry.
Doh, Iwas just about to say that exact thing.
Haha…thanks.
lonex, It’s all LVM, not possible
nickburns, ” Driver “vga”" should be “nvidia”
can anybody tell me the exakt name of udev channel on irc?
And then re-emerge.
i’ve tried both actually
nickburns, same error?
ni1s yes sir
plz tell me the exact name of #udev channel on irc?
any ideas why?
fredv, google
didnt find that on google, sry
lonex, I only get the problem in Linux… Windows can’t check, but Spinrite off a floppy (shit program but useful sometimes) reads all drives just fine
Hi
hello
I hope that’s what you wanted.
Any idea why net-im/pidgin-otr is dying on some GTK errors?
nickburns, can I PM you? you registerd?
hm, no idea really.. i’d suspect a driver issue, maybe you haven’t got the right driver for your controller? or try a newer kernel version
Has anybody an idea how to bring two kernel configs together (take every option that is taken in one or both kernels)?
I’ve had it from 2.6.20 to 2.6.22 …
lonex, I’ve had it from 2.6.20 to 2.6.22 …
no idea sorry, as i’m not using it myself
it’d be trivial to write so long as the .configs were compatable
pareidolia, google gives no relevant results with ‘udev devel irc’
I’ve tried adding gtk to its package USE flags, we’ll see if that works ..
or did you configure some kind of power savings that spins down the disks?
thats not what i asked for. i want the output from emerge –info
You should use it though, OTR is very good. The government is wiretapping the entire Internet these days; encryption is a good idea.
lonex, mmm luminous… I’ll check
one is from 2.6.18, one from 2.6.22, I think they should be compartible
doubt it
not with a that kind of jump :/
y?
i know, but i have never liked pidgin. so bitlbee is enough for me.
hi. i’m about to resize one of my partitions which contains a file system (ext3). the disk had two partitions originally. I deleted the first partition and now want the second to occupy the entire drive, which means a partition resize and a file system resize. My question is this: would doing this damage or destroy the file system in any way? i’m assuming it wont as i’m enlarging, rather than shinking.
hello, is it possible to have a machine with 2 interfaces on 2 different networks? Do I have to set 2 gateways?
@channel, i experienced serious problems with udev at boottime. i tested every version which is in portage. the symptoms are the same: when it comes to the ‘letting udev events’ during bootime, it just freezes or freezes with some oops or it enters a loop, dependent on which udev-version i use. the only working version is udev-087, but it is not in portage. (2.6.22-gentoo-r5, x86, baselayout-1.12.9-r2) can anybody give some advise?
a lot of kernel options change in releases and depends do too
lonex, I do not have hdparm activated… what else can I check?
what directory that portage uses as cache can be deleted?
lonex, could SmartD give trouble?
/var/tmp/portage
hmm that looks fine, so i have no idea why it wants to emerge all those languages.
/usr/portage/distfiles, but that stresses the Gentoo servers
laetus, I don’t have much experience resizing partions on ext3. I know that xfs has a resize utility .. I don’t think ext3 does *shrug*.
argh…is there a way I can set it to not emerge all the languages? I’m a newb.
fredv, Do you know what the oops message is?
ext3 is resizeable, with resize2fs
no clue, i don’t know what smartd does
lonex, it monitors smart values
psymin, it could be 003, but it is to fast to read and sometimes nothing at all
then i doubt it would give any trouble… does it report anything special on those disks?
i think it does, i just wasn’t sure if doing so would destroy my file system. Specifically because of the partition table order
lonex, nothing interesting, just temperature and error rates

lonex, I suspect a cabling error, but I have no idea how to check
