never heard of “laptop_mode”

if it is starting GDM lethalrocks it is in rl5

Its on a gentoo-wiki for acpid, and cpufreqd

either way lethalrocks, you would not see any DM (k,g,x,etc…) if you boot to rl3

so what is it that handles the sound in kde now then?

Hi, I have a quick question regarding overlays. It seems that Sabayon users cannot file bug reports for Gentoo or get official support, even for a Gentoo ebuild, does that prohibition cover Gentoo users using the Sabayon overlay?

the wiki may be your first problem

into_311 what ever you want

?

you ahve to have a sound deamon, to play the sounds for the window manager thats my understanding

Mahasamatman, rc-update -s 5 says that runlevel doesn’t exit

just like all wiki’s, you can’t trust everything you read

ignore the sound system setup into_311. all apps will use alsa, esd directly

i downloaded the stage3 tarball to the /root directory, i am trying to extract it but it is telling me i dont havt enough space. can i move the tarball to /mnt/gentoo and extract it there?

indeed. The problem isnt acpid though, I know for a fact that it works. I know its compiled in the kernel. I’ve had the setup for almost a year now. I just dont see why wmbattery says I dont have acpi

bug reports for overlays don’t belong in the gentoo bugzilla at all

I dont have arts, and I get all the notifys into_311

I’m talking about stuff in the main portage, though.

are you using esd then?

If you’re using the exact command given in the Gentoo Handbook, you should be extracting it straight to the destination partition anyway

Since Sabayon users cannot report them, so it seems, would I forfeit the ability to do so by using their overlay?

extrat it to /mnt/gentoo

I’d suggest check you’ve typed the command correctly. If you believe you have, can you give us details of how big the partition you’re trying to install Gentoo on to is please

I use what ever the app prefers into_311. some want esd, some use alsa directly
knotify will pick what ever you want

ok thanks i probably missed a step…

ok, therefore a soudn daemon is still required for certain things. maybe not alsa specificially, but A sound deamon

I never said you did not need a sound daemon into_311

I’m not running any sound daemon and use quite a lot of multimedia stuff…

Ctibor, thank you

You should be fine as long as the developers don’t believe that the packages from the overlay(s) might be atleast part of the problem

still thinking lethalrocks

Mahasamatman, would you like me to reboot and grab certain info while things are working?

are you trying to playback/mix more than one sound at once?

Mahasamatman, aren’t*

artsd has never been a very stable thing, I have avoided it for years into_311

i have had a time or two where disabling arts helps you play certain games, or what not. But for the most part, it works just fine being left alone also..

yes… e.g. video and mp3… working normaly

AllenJB,I guessed that’d be the case, but it seemed a little ambigious and thought I should check first since Gentoo/Sabayon hostility seems quite strong. Thanks.

i made / 10G, /var 10G, /usr 20G

I guess I’m stupid for following the same model that every linux distro has used for years in having alsa and then a sound deamon on top of it

What to you would be “acpi support in kernel” ??

Those sound easily large enough

I’ll have to try it without, might liberate me

dmesg.test.txt” and then do what you need to to get back here and nopaste the txt

Mahasamatman, okay, will do

into_311 I always felt that the minimum layers between the app and the hdwr is best

anybody know how to find out how much a network interface loads the cpu?

i’m just trying to figure out why they enable it by default then
including gentoo, in their make profiles

apparently the KDE devs have decided so as well

How do people normally copy a kernel config to a new kernel version? Do I need to merge?

i think i was in the wrong directory the 1st time. i copied the tarball to /mnt/gentoo and it extracted fine. i think /root is in ram? (i have 1G ram)

into_311 kde is linux’s windows. that is why. (not sniping, I use it too )

Copy the .config file to the new directory and then run “make oldconfig”

something similar to this http://rafb.net/p/1SkAKA82.html

kde enables exerything it can by default. I disable almost everything I can after installing it. makes it alot snappyer into_311

AllenJB, thanks. What about two different patched versions such as gentoo-source vs suspend2-source?

thats actually for my desktop… i need to take a lot of that out

Same procedure.

hi all – sorry for the dumb question – haven’t had to do this in linux based hosting services before – after a hyperterminal/putty type program for connecting via serial cable

AllenJB, ok. Thank you

i thought i was going to be building everything form source… o well

would anyone know something in portage I can use?

The only dumb question is one not asked.

This is mine: http://rafb.net/p/uUyfpC68.html

AllenJB thank goodness it wasn’t the inquisitive idiots quote

wouldnt you say mine would qualify as “acpi in kernel” ?

the 64bit livecd won’t boot on 32bit machines right?

Now you come to mention it… =P

yes. my best guess is wmbattery is relying on the /proc to gets its info and you don’t have that compiled in
# CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS is not set

why are you sing a 64bit cd for a 32 bit machine? never tried it myslef, but i’m pretty sure the answer is no.
64bit machines work well with 32bit OS, not the other way around…

into_311 lol

how do I setup gvim to print to my cups printer?

skyphyr, terminal over serial? try something like ckermit

I have a sempron and I can’t tell if it is 64bit lol

I’ll try with that and let you know.

what does cat /proc/cpuinfo say about it?

Mahasamatman, that was very odd… restarting both ifaces didn’t work… I could ping my gw and the router’s gw (isp box) fine, but no further… eventually it decided to work

yey .. everything seems to work fine … now just one problem ..
how do I get /dev/sda3 back to /dev/md3 ?

BlackBishop, easy.. 2 command

care to tell them ? or where I can notice them ?
I know it’s something with mdadm –add

BlackBishop, `mdadm /dev/md3 –remove /dev/sdb3 && mdadm /dev/md3 –add /dev/sdb3`

what does the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo tell you?

but why /dev/sdb3 ?

or do you know what type of motherboard you have in teh system?

I’ll do stuff all over again .. no problem ..

BlackBishop, i though you removed sdb3

I want to sync /dev/sda3 to /dev/sdb3 which seems to be up ..

failed?

ok lethalrocks lemme edit a file and post it back

active raid1 sdb3[1] 154256064 blocks [2/1] [_U]
so .. /dev/sdb3 is active .. right ?

BlackBishop, ok then yes sdb3 is active

so mdadm /dev/md3 –remove /dev/sda3 && mdadm /dev/md3 –add /dev/sda3 then !

BlackBishop, you might lose some logs and stuff since you were working off sda3 but it should be minor with a fresh install

yeah .. that’s why I don’t care

That got it solved and working (My best web hosting guess is when I updated kernels 20-8 to 21-4 seeing as it was depreciated, I didnt add it back

excellent

BlackBishop, then you need that command you just quoted me.. and it will rebuild that partition. (check via `cat /proc/mdstat`
)

LocalGhost ~ # mdadm /dev/md3 –remove /dev/sda3
hot remove failed for /dev/sda3: No such device or address
LocalGhost ~ # ls -la /dev/sda3
4
sorry about that

owned!

lethalrocks, are both nics plugged into the router?

mdadm: hot remove failed for /dev/sda3: No such device or address

your manual that came with the computer doesn’t tell you or anything?

I built it like a year or two and I just pulled it out of the closet

well .. doing mdadm /dev/md3 –add /dev/sda3 seems to put it in recovery
yeeey .. I guess this is about it ..

thanks grknight

there was a point in time where we had 64 and non-64 bit semprons instock
of course now we just keep x2’s

thanks grknight and everybody else who helped along the way !

did you ever cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep ‘model name’

BlackBishop, just becareful with RAID stuff. it gets a bit touchy

“AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+”
do they have special flags?

BlackBishop, and be sure to add the mdadm to the boot runlevel for monitor mode (see `man mdadm.conf` and `man mdadm` for details on that)

what are the microcodes on it? you should be able to google that and get info right?

Mahasamatman, I’m here now (flaky net, seems to be eth0 (nforce) causing it, so I stopped it

did that !

well the safe_cflags guide says they have matching model and family numbers
and that the only way to find out is to look at the serial

lethalrocks, “rc-update del net.eth0 default”

now .. emerge -uD world ..
anything else I should do after this ?

Mahasamatman, I was just typing that in anyway
Mahasamatman, Any idea why it’s broken?

i do not know. my guess is if it doesn’t say its not

i backed up all of my email from thunderbird on my windows partition. anyone know where the email profiles are stored for thunderbird on gentoo?

~/.mozilla/ I guess

make && make modules_install && make install will upgrade the kernel for me right?

~ expands to /home/yourusername/

it could be that having the route dup’ed btwn the nics is causing an arguement that has to time out
lethalrocks

bonsaikitten; thanks

~/.thunderbird for me

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml

Mahasamatman, so remove a route line from conf.d/net?

oh … that might work too never sure where mozilla apps hide

no let

tehtechman; k, thanks

Okay, I was able to get my ethernet cable plugged in and I now have internet, but I need to be able to hook up a linksys wireless adapter. Anyone ever do this?

thanks

only use one nic, no reason to have 2
lethalrocks

sorry, wrong page, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml
your welcome

oh, alright, thanks again

Mahasamatman, if I didn’t have two, I wouldn’t be here

lethalrocks if it works with the card disabled, remove it and just use the mobo. it may not be the nforce that causes the issue. it just shows as the nforce cuz it gets setup 1st

anyone know of a package to use to remotely run and capture images from a digital camera?

anyone else have probs with adobe flash hanging up firefox? any way to remedy that?

is there a way to tell portage that a file in /etc is not a config? I would like my ebuild to just replace existing

Is it ok to reconfigure to a different build profile (ie, from the default to desktop)?

be more specific

Argh, damn wireless

This morning, my system update is failing because of a bad nvidia-drivers ebuild. Anyone else seen this?
It says the size is wrong in the ebuild.

aleron, you mean the release profiles? then yes.. you just need a `emerge -avDN world` after that

I’m creating an ebuild for my application. There are some files in /etc that I want portage to just overwrite on install.

hi, i’m trying to make a crontab which checks whether a certain process is running, and if not then start it. when the process starts it has unique paramaters such as ip and port. how can i do this please?

Mahasamatman, you seem to be right. running on eth0 only

I’m used to RPM based packaging where you can mark specific files as config

look in #gentoo-dev for ebuild questions

thanks

Where are the c++ standard libraries includes located in gentoo installation?

welcome

c0l0rad0, you want #gentoo-dev-help for ebuild questions.. #gentoo-dev is private for devs

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/include/g++-v3/
if your CHOST is i686

can you not find the serial# on yours then? I would think you can look that up to see if it corresponds with what AMD has listed for the processor.

lethalrocks awesome, go ahead and pull the card. your system will use less power and run cooler. plus there is no reason to allocate the resources

anybody know how to find out how much a network interface loads the cpu?

btw lethalrocks, emerge xorg-x11 is pulling in 26 builds here

Hi, I have a strange problem with wine

Hi all, having a mysql problem :ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@'localhost’ (using password: YES)

whenever I run winecfg

when trying mysql database services -uroot -p

it says that it creates my .wine directry
but nothing ever happens

elvanor_ stop hitting enter every 10 chars please

Randal^: you didn’t set the password,.. try emerge mysql –config

so theres no ~/.wine dir?

no

Maybe likewhoa, will try, thx.
will remerge mysql, bbl.

and the config window doesnt come up?

no

xorg-x11 has a lot of dependencies that need pulled down on a base gentoo system.

does it hang when it says its creating the dir?

yes
what do you mean by hanging?
it just stops saying anything

yeah… does it just sit there eating up CPU time?

into_311 I know, I just wanted to give an fyi to him, he was thinking it would be 10

let’s see

oh

anybody know how to find out how much a network interface loads the cpu?

How do I solve a “digest verification failed” with emerge -uDN world (nvidia-drivers)?

it does not show in top
however i got quite a few running processes shown by ps ax | grep wine

resynch or emerge –digest nvidia-drivers -pv then retry emerge -uDN world.

i saw this problem in here earlier also with teh nvidia drivers
AlefBet I would try to resync first, I’m told that surelly emerge –digeset nvidia-drivers can cause more problems later on..

did you have to re-digest, or did resynching fix it?

no it can’t.

I would try to “killall wine” and see if that kills everything and then run winecfg. If that doesn’t work then someone smarter than me will nee dot help you

that last person I saw, on an amd64 system had to re-digest

Okay, I’ll try resynching (although when I tried that before, the server said my timestamp matched and didn’t download anything)

unless he’s downloading it an unofficial mirror than chances are it was damper with then he should worry.

no, that does nt help

if resyncing doesn’t fix it, I would report it as as bug

anyway as soon as I hit control C all wine processes are killed

so they can fix it

where? Gentoo bugzilla?

doesn’t make much sense for everybody to do a work-around to get it installed, if it is legitimate and should be working
yes

Is there a way to setup grub for Gentoo and define the kernel image and junk without editing the grub.conf file? I’m known for breaking bootloaders way way too fast.

are you on x86?

Yes.

I think I’m goingt o need tab compleasion

did you figure it out? I’d like to know also

But
the most I’ve done in grub is set it up. That’s it.

AMD64 under 31bit

known bug already

plug_timeout doesn’t appear to be respected in /etc/conf.d/net

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185884

*32

Keith-BlindUser: type ‘e’ at the grub menu then add your kernel line then hit ‘b’ to boot it.

what actually changes if I “eselect vi set gvim”? (it’s currently set to “vim”)

I’m setting plug_timeout=0, but eth0 still gets backgrounded.

bsdfox nope :/

Keith-BlindUser: use a generic name in grub.conf and use symlinks with that name to the real kernel image
Keith-BlindUser: that way when you update your kernel, change symlinks, done

so nothing for me to do but wait for the fix to propagate to the rsync mirrors?

Keith-BlindUser: “make install” is helpful. it always keeps at least one backup and ensures that “/boot/vmlinuz” always resolves to the latest kernel, whatever it’s called.

its a knkown bug for all architectures. Yeah, you could add yourself to the thread to be notified when its fixed

Maybe it could be mentioned in the channel topic.

the ebuild –digest has broken things for me before. I wouldn’t recommend it as others freely do..

okay, I’ll wait.

Keith-BlindUser: all you need to do is make sure that you have an entry in grub pointing to “/boot/vmlinuz”. you can also define another pointing to “/boot/vmlinuz.old”.

srry man. I dont really know what to suggest other than emerging again. my use vars are USE=”X alsa cups jpeg ncurses opengl oss”

Keith-BlindUser: so if you ever build a bad kernel, you know you’ve got another entry in grub that always boots the most recent working kernel.

thx anyway.

Keith-BlindUser: it takes care of the copying to /boot and everything.

bsdfox In windows using a program you can see how much cpu hardware interrupts use, but I need to find out that on nix

Keith-BlindUser: so you’d never need to edit grub again.

I’ve tried in the past.. let me tool around with /proc for a few, it might be in there somewhere

not for the forseeable future, in any case.

I’m sure there are programs that do exactly that

anyone here know why when using genkenel it gives me a error when compiling busybox ?

how long should “grub-install” take on a reasonably modern box ?

how can i correct this

Firmware space is locked read-only. If you can’t or don’t want to disable this in firmware setup, and if you are certain that your system has a functional RNG, try using the ‘no_fwh_detect’ option.

About half the time it take to type grub-install

hmm .. so the random number generator module fails to load ..

What makes gentoo desktop different from say, ubuntu?

oh dear

anyone care to tell me how I can make it work ?

its been running for about 5 mins…

Valdrone, you tell it exactly what you want on it
mzbot, teach Valdrone gentoo

Gentoo provides flexibility (support what you want), dynamic dependencies (install what *you* want with the features *you* need), an awsome community (tried the forums lately?), an active development model (we keep improving), great documentation, and is easy to maintain (we provide you with the best tools possible).

Yet it’s impossible to turn into a desktop computer

bleh, killing it an re-running works

This is my second day at it.

good

Valdrone, i’ve had no issues with doing xorg

I use it as my desktop

funny, i’ve been using gentoo as my main desktop for five years…

my 4th … but I managed to make everything work today ! in just 1 day ! after figuring out all the troubles I’ve been through in the meantime

I can get Xserver to run, but hell, I don’t want to console launch every app, I want KDE.

bsdfox if you find anything useful in /proc tell me, ok?

sure

you can install KDE

Valdrone, how are you trying to install kde?

feels odd to have /dev/hdd1 ad (hd0,0)

but .. I have this problem .. the last one .. intel_rng: Firmware space is locked read-only. If you can’t or don’t want to disable this in firmware setup, and if you are certain that your system has a functional RNG, try using the ‘no_fwh_detect’ option.

anyone here have the busybox genkernel problem

grknight, emerge kde-meta

Valdrone, and what is happening?

what HDDs do you have?

grknight, It goes through it with no errors, though I do get a couple system beeps, but that’s usual
grknight, In the rc file thing I changed the DM to KDE

an IDE as a slave on channel 2 (where Gentoo is installed) and a SATA disk

grknight, Then, when I booted, I was only presented with xorg. And startkde wasn’t valid

Valdrone, from the console.. what happens if you do `startkde`?

grknight, startkde didn’t work.

i can t compile kdebase and pyqt , anyone has an idea?

channel 2 slave is hdd so nothing to worry about

/usr/kde/3.5/bin/startkde

Valdrone, what happens if you do `emerge -av kde-meta` right now?

I know – my brain is screaming at me to put (hd4,1)

grknight, Well, I’d have to chroot right now

bleah.. f it will figure it out tomorrow enough work for today

Valdrone, well then. i suggest either chroot or install irssi onto your main system so we (the channel) can best help

working on Chrooting

I am running the 2007 live cd installation and im using a static ip…its asking for my broadcast address. im not sure what they are wanting here

bb__, usually a broadcast is the .255 of a .0 netmask

so 10.2.100.0

66.104.131.255 probably

k

bb__, so 10.2.100.255 if you’re netmask is 255.255.0.0

thanks!

hi
any start-stop-daemon gurus around?

TPABKA, you writing an ebuild or something?

that worked thanks guys!

bb__, if in doubt set up dedicated ip hosting with ifconfig and do ifconfig interface it will show the broadcast .

putting jboss to with local.start/stop

grknight, I did the emerge -a -v thing

TPABKA, what’s the problem with it?

grknight, Now it asks me if I would like to merge these packages
grknight, And several are listed.

Valdrone, should be a good size list because kde-meta never finished

165 packages (165 new), Size of Downloads: 81,899 kb.

Is it possible to mount /var/cache/edb/dep/ and /usr/portage/ on the same partition?

grknight, So should I say yes?

it starts ok, but because the start and stop commands are different (run.sh and shutdown.sh accordingly), start-stop-daemon gives me ‘No /opt/jboss-4.0.5.GA/bin/shutdown.sh found running; none killed.’

Valdrone, if you sure that’s your chroot, then yes. if i were merging kde.. i would personally do it from the main system to make sure things are not missed

grknight, Well, my main system is having networking problems

is it possible to prevent net.eth0 from being started by device initiated services?

grknight, Is there anything I should do afterwards?

TPABKA, you have to use the –name parameter when the scripts are different

let me try

skyphyr, yes.. look at /etc/conf.d/net.example

was looking into that actually

you mean in the rc startup files?

Valdrone, make sure it emerges ok.. if something is not right (zlib flag on pciutils is common lately) it will stop and you will need to do something about what it says

hmm, cat /proc/[pid]/stat shows ‘java’ if i add –name java it says ‘No java found running; none killed.’

Valdrone, instead of chrooting google and setup your machine for internet and do it from your machine not from live cd and chrooting

and i can see the process in ps

bdf“`, Tried that, it’s really not being nice, at all when it comes to setting up it, I tried one last thing but haven’t been able to reboot into it

TPABKA, i would not recommend start-stop-daemon if it’s hosting with java support based.. too complicated to get working.. just use the scripts directly

bdf“`, Since it takes about 20 minutes to actually get into a livecd

thanks grknight will take a look

bdf“`, What’s wrong with chrooting anyway?

Hi all!

Valdrone, nothing really, but its like doing the right way
i dont think there should be any problem with chrooting .

I can’t do the right way if I can’t set up mai intarwebz

TPABKA, if they don’t fork themselves.. just do `/dev/null 2&1 &` to force a fork for the start process

the reason i use start-stop-daemon is because i want to run it as user (tomcat) but don’t want to give the user shell or home dir

Valdrone, its ok no issues carry on with it

TPABKA, hmm

and to just use the startup scripts i need the user to have a shell

But if it says everything is alright, and startkde still doesn’t work, I’m taking a one way download to kubuntu.

Valdrone, if you can’t download files.. you can always do `emerge -f kde-meta` to just pull down all files if you want to try that way

Valdrone, why dont you just use a installer ?
download a 600mb live cd

Does anyone know how to get mpg out of cue/bin vcd image?

and use a networkless install with installer

bdf“`, Because that didn’t work.

Valdrone, get a 2006 installer
it will work
2007 is gay

bdf“`, But that won’t give me a GUI.

you meanm the installer is gay

yngwin, yea

….

language?

me?

bdf“`: and you too

i’d say

bonsaikitten, as in ?

unless you meant “very very happy”

and there’s nothing wrong with being gay

Whats the command to shutdown linux

bonsaikitten, i just mean installer isnt nice

But seriously, not even the installer is set up to make a desktop system

not the place to discuss

shutdown

bdf“`: bad choice of words

We really need to have a seperate jboss server hosting instalelr

bonsaikitten, alright , will keep in mind

Right until you start using the word pejoratively…

It has all these arguments

shutdown -h now

-h?

Valdrone, kde-meta generally doesnt give any problem try it

-h for halt

bdf“`, That’s what I’ve been doing, but it did give me a problem.

or something like that

thanks

I solved my problem

whats the problem exactly?

I use halt =/

wine needs net.lo to be started

bdf“`, After emerging 299 dependencies I didn’t even have startkde

Valdrone, why ?

yngwin, , After emerging 299 dependencies I didn’t even have startkde

did it finish emerging properly

bdf“`, How should I know?
bdf“`, Indeed it did.

what exactly did you emerge?

It’s your system. You ought to know.

yngwin, kde-meta

hmm, does that not have kdebase-startkde as dep?

rej, No, gentoo has taken control of it. emerge kde-meta should install kde, but it didn’t.

You seem to have run into problems that no one else has. Don’t start blaming Gentoo just yet.

Valdrone, it does generally

you know the kde documentation?

i installed kde-meta like week ago worked fine

are there any patchsets with gensplash and software suspend

yngwin, No, I don’t know the KDE documentation because I haven’t found one directed to gentoo users

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-split-ebuilds.xml

Valdrone, it is

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-config.xml

Valdrone, ideallly just the kde-meta emerging would do the job
i did the same

Now don’t say you googled those…

worked for me

Okay.

also, why do you expect to have a “startkde” commmand
I don’t

i know these exist, but yeah, google will find them for you as well

vertigoacid, I expect having startkde after installing kde. .
vertigoacid, Just like I get startx after installing xorg

rofl

Valdrone, startkde should be there its ok

emerge -av kdebase-startkde

yngwin, Will do when my kde-meta is done merging.

kde-meta depends on kde-base/kdebase-startkde

Valdrone, not required

Er…

What.

kde-startbase has fewer programs

When kde-meta is done emerging, you will probably have startkde…

kde-meta contains almost everything in it

Anyone up for helping me diagnoze my problem with Apache on Gentoo? ##apache hasn’t spoken a word in a long while.

rej, Didn’t do it last time.

If not, just emerge the split package.

so you’re compleining now before the emerge is even done???

or you could use Gnome, or fluxbox or something

but my point is, that having or not having startkde is not an indication of whether kde is installed or not

yngwin, I emerged kde-meta last night and it didn’t give me startkde
yngwin, That’s what I’m complaining about.

so how come it’s emerging now?

There’s #gentoo-apache too.

Ah, thanks a heap. That sounds like more hope.

yngwin, How should I know, I left it on last night, emerge is completely automated. It never asked me for anyhting

I would suggest you first stop complaining at all.

Pfft, I’m just pissed off that emerging kde-meta didn’t do what it should have done.

did the emerge of kde-meta finish at all?

And now I have to waste another hour emerging it.
yngwin, Yes.

It seems http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-split-ebuilds.xml would have answered the startkde question…
“To emerge the basic KDE environment allowing you to login into a minimalistic KDE session, emerge kdebase-startkde.”

Hey guys. Is it possible to force USB device detection to happen before md (RAID) autodetection?

then how can you be emerging it now again?

yngwin, I changed a USE flag?

ah

yngwin, I added opengl to it.

rej, kde-meta includes kdebase-startkde

just make sure the emerge finishes, and doesnt end with an error, then you should have startkde

“To get absolutely all KDE split ebuilds, emerge kde-meta.”

When a new kernel is marked stable, what happens to prior versions of the kernels?

Bummer. They’re about as talkative in #gentoo-apache as they were in ##apache.

yngwin, Okay, time to wait an hour+ for this to finish

Keith-BlindUser: they remain stable, but will eventually be deleted from portage

anyone know how to fix the genkernel busybox

It’s still going on 3 of 165

Right now I am wondering if the path to startkde was ever known to the shell that Valdrone was using. I.e. did he do an `. /etc/profile.env` at some point or re-login, perhaps?

Keith-BlindUser, in portage? most stick around.. on your system? they’re usually slotted and don’t interfere with each other

anyone know how to fix the genkernel busybox

genkernel has nothing to do with busybox.

then why does it build busybox on “geenkernel all”
then why does it build busybox on “genkernel all”

I now have a Chihuahua in my lap.

that may or moy not help

Well, it’s been on 3 of 165 for ten minutes now…

I still don’t know why everyone is so worried about startkde. even with the kdebase-startkde package, I don’t have a startkde executable on my system, and guess what? kde works fine

tehtechman, Sure should help compiling.

if you have that package, you must have the startkde script

vertigoacid, Then how come kde starts?

set your xsession in rc, and run startx if you’re not going to run xdm, seems simple

Sounds odd.

For some reason, X doesn’t even start up automatically

did you add xdm to your default runlevel?

What is the latest kernel?

vertigoacid, I think?

you need to tell xdm to start up

Hopefully not an RRC release..

is there a way to specify a RAID device with USB drive and boot from it, w/o initramfs?

anybody know how to find out how much a network interface loads the cpu?

Err RC

tehtechman, Someone gave me a command to do it, but it obviously didn’t work.

Please do `/usr/kde/3.5/bin/startkde`.

rej, I can’t.

Or `ls /usr/kde/3.5/bin/startkde`.

rej, Specifically because I’m merging 4 of 165

What do you mean you can’t? Open a shell, any shell, and type that in.
Type Alt+F2 to open a new shell or something.

rej, While KDE is merging. Yeah, that sounds safe.

Sure, why not.

rej, I’m not prepared to fuck over another 150 dependencies.

Certainly typing `ls /usr/kde/3.5/bin/startkde` wouldn’t harem.

hah

Uh
Why is gentoo-sources taking so long to emerge?

its also in the current genkernel man page too

I am not prepared to take any of that attitude.

I ran the command 5 minutes ago.

Keith-BlindUser: where is it hanging?

And it’st ill going.

also because Valdrone is in chroot and installing kde, instead of trying to fix networking issues

Keith-BlindUser: is it downloading?

Extremely slowly looks like.
Yeah. It’s only on 46 percent.

Keith-BlindUser: it’s a big package, iff you hit a slow mirror downloading will take a while, also unpacking will take some time

What’ the latest version?
I’min the stable portage tree..
Because

ok

Keith-BlindUser: eix will tell you that

Keith-BlindUser: the kernel source is aroung 40MB these days

I’m officially censored

As far as I know the accessibility Speakup kernel patch was removed from the 2.6.22 kernel.
Without that, I cannot use Gentoo whatsoever.

47MB for gentoo-sources
Keith-BlindUser: _OR_
you can mask gentoo-sources, and continue updating on an old kernel

Keith-BlindUser: man, IRC must be a handful to listen to

Yeah

Imagine listening to an emerge.

In fact.
IRC can be a pain upt the…..

you know… I just realised something… on IRC when you’re blind it must be like you’re in a room full of people

Because

stt

Each time I try to scroll,
I jump tot the bottum of the screen as soon as anything new happens. So reviwing here is a pain.
So if I asked “what is the latest kernel version” twice,
that’s becuase
I mostly likely am missing messages.
And generally you’ll find that communicating with me one–oon-one in query is a better idea most of the time.

I sure hope you have join/depart messages turned off

Nope I don’t know how.
I’m hereing “User at long as hell IP and stuff has joined #gentoo. User at long as hell IP and such as quit IRC…etc.
Every second.

bsdfox a guy told me that with http://www.opersys.com/LTT/ and much work it can be done

Like now

keith, what irc client do you use?

Keith-BlindUser, looks like speakup was dropped in latest gentoo-sources “Dropping speakup from 2.6.22 on Daniel’s request.” i’ll try to find more on it

Irssi of course.

Keith-BlindUser: are you using irssi? then it must be possible to turn those off

With what exactly?

Keith-BlindUser, try /ignore -channels #gentoo * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS

Browsing documentation online also, is a ….major…well….pain.
BC most browsers don’t have java script wich I need, etc.
And most of them are configured i horrible ways by default.
in
like irssi was
I tryed it default
And
I was like

that rocks

“Ouch!’
BC
My time was being read each time the clock changed.
etc
rofl

Keith-BlindUser: horrible ways? irssi? I’ve never had a problem with it

anyone know why grub would be repeating GRUB across my screen on boot?

Keith-BlindUser, seems there are major issues with 2.6.22 and speakup.. “Initial 2.6.22 release. speakup has been dropped for incompatibility reasons.”

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml

post your grub.conf at pastbin?

While trying to emerge maxima I get the errors pasted at http://rafb.net/p/WeLCIV87.html How can I fix this and emerge maxima? Thanks.

Hey guys.
How do I emerge lm-sensorss? You guys do not seem to have it.

Keith-BlindUser: Try lm_sensors.

PM, please. Don’t respond directly. I’m getting out of here so I do not miss more messages.

Keith-BlindUser: sys-apps/lm_sensors.

could someone help me with what to do with this compile error http://rafb.net/p/HzBLVi43.html

oOtherwise I will probably keep repeating and missint more messages etc.

http://apache.pastebin.ca/626638

did you read the link that was posted?
“According to airhead this can be caused by having your bios detect your disks automatically. Try to set your bios entry to User Type HDD.
Another possibility is that you had Grub installed on your MBR and tried reinstalling it (for instance due to hard disk changes) but used the wrong setup and root commands. “

I’m wondering if its because my bios is ordering my disks differently to linux (bios things I have 4 ATA controllers, but links sees 2 ATA and 2 SATA)

perhaps. is there options in your bios to change how that emulation is occuring?

I read it yes, but I’m still unclear what that means
I can choose RAID or IDE for the SATA controllers

have you tried both ways?

no, but IDE is the only one that Windows can use

I’ve got a package that portage says is not installed, but that i reality is. So when I try too uninstall, it won’t let me. How can I fix/remove this package ?

I’ll try swapping the (hd0,0) and (hd1,0) round

emerge package && emerge -C package ?

vertigoacid, :emerge package fails

do I install the gatos ebuild with everything in a rage128 based install or do I install the gatos pkg instead of something?

bleh, no dice

tried adding the package to /var/lib/portage/world?
and then emerge -C

40
oops

note, I am not a portage expert or anything, just taking stabs from what I know

i can’t seem to get the cpu scaling to behave properly…i’m using the ondemand governor and it scales it down just fine, but it never bumps up the speed when under load

is it recommended to use the x11-drm ebuild, or compiling the modules in the kernel?

when using ondemand, what does cpufreq-info say?

Thanks … Tried the “world”- emerg -C trick,… did’nt work

Mahasamatman, x11-drm wont generally gain you much unless you have a currently unsupported card

Mahasamatman, iirc, the kernel approach is preffered

thanks alot guys

wellllll. how about doing a make uninstall by hand?

i’m new to kde, how do you install kde themes?

vertigoacid, http://www.pastebin.ca/626649

well, that looks good. sometimes, the max and minimum freqs will be the same
which is bad

vertigoacid, yeah, but the minimum is 1000ghz, and max is 2.4 ghz…but my system (even under 100% load) will only run at 1000ghz

1000ghz, wow!
so you’re running an AMD CPU, I assume?

could some help me im trying to emerge gnome , and i am to gnome-menus where i get a error about checking for inotify_init…. no … i have CONFIG_INOTIFY: Built in . can someone help me out?
http://rafb.net/p/75DXm531.html

vertigoacid, haha sorry, 1000mhz

www.kde.org

vertigoacid, yup amd x2

in side of the control panel.. i think the theme panel is there.

do i need to have config_inotify no?

LadyNikon; yea, nvm. i think may have found it. thanks

oops. I put VIDEO_CARDS=”rage128″ instead of VIDEO_CARDS=”r128″ in make.conf. Do I need to re-emerge xorg after correcting that? or does it only affect things after the xorg build?

you would need to re-emerge
I recommend emerge -uDN world — it should figure out what it needs to do

I was on here earlier because I couldn’t update my system — nvidia-drivers ebuild was broken. Now it’s fixed, but pdflib is broken.
Anyone else see that? Is there an open bug on it?

thanks kojiro

Mahasamatman, just emerge the r128 driver … emerge -s r128 to find its name

AlefBet:

uh, which aproach is better kojiro, or NeddySeagoon?

When I am emergeing maxima, I get an error that it cannot open gcl_collectfn.data … using locate I have determined that i have gcl_collectfn.o on my system, but no gcl_collectfn.data ; Which package and/or useflag do I need to get gcl_collectfn.data?

there’s tweaking possible through files in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/

ooh that layman thing seems useful
running that now to get kde4
hopefully

emerge -uDN world is more “complete” and leaves the work up to portage. emerge x11-drivers/whatever is probably faster.

gentoo-{wiki,portage}.com accessible from here

“better” is best left to you to figure out :OP
*

vertigoacid, sure…but what gets me is that i never had this much trouble getting it to work before…it used to work just fine

ok :{}

someone change topic.. -wiki and -portage are back

vertigoacid, :hmmm .. can’t find any makefile. I’ll keep on looking. Thanks for your help

With all this re-syncing to fix broken ebuilds, i’m afraid I may run afoul of the “sync only once a day-ish” netiquette rule. :O

:shrug: I use cpufreqd, found that it works better, at least for my laptop

anyone know if its possible to change my NIC mapping? ie, switch which card is mapped to etho and eth1 (swap them)

vertigoacid, ah, well this is for my desktop

are you sure you even originally installed it from portage?

Yes. I always do !

\x90: check out /etc/conf.d/net.example there might be something about that there

\x90, look at your udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d.. one is a persistent net set

Mahasamatman, both work – emerge world -uDNav will catch any other stuff too

ok, thanks

you could try powernowd

Anyone know how to make my terminal, say xterm, for example, *not* color-safe?
I need to test a script

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml#doc_chap3

vertigoacid, yeah i’m going to try the powerthend

ro NeddySeagoon, this is new sys, of course, so I will go world to avoid later issues
only 3 pkgs
1st one is mesa, the one I cant get to build on my other system, hmmm
u1st one is mesa, the one I cant get to build on my other system, hmmm/u

anyone?

Mahasamatman, good luck

trying to emerge kde4 gives a LOT of blocking
i thought it could coexist with 3.5.x

if it builds here I am gonna be happy, but mildly peaved

eh?
oh

hehe

you mean you’ll be befuddled!

hi all, does anyone know if the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro has an open source driver which works with AIGLX?

anybody know how to find out how much a network interface loads the cpu?

well after all the effort I put into getting it to build on my main system for a world update(and failing) I will be more than befuddled if it compiles here. (although I surely want it to compile on the new sys)

ok, this is a rather stupid question, but why when i am building my kernel, and things i have chosen not to compile are still built at modules?

kojiro

Mahasamatman!

hehe

Flibberdy, it’s called radeon

and it supports AIGLX now?

Flibberdy, the open source one always did iirc

d

How can I fix “Digest verification failed” errors? apparently my nvidia-drivers-100.14.08.ebuild is the wrong size

is it ok to only have about 9 lines in /etc/make.conf ? thanks

hi

Last i checked i don’t think it supported my graphics card chipset (R300) Time to do some more investigating

Flibberdy, http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/tree/src/radeon_chipset.h

.. i investigated that it has something to do with my charset. does anybody know exactly where the problem is?

Flibberdy, only the R500 and up are not supported at this time that i know of

just found that site grknight, thanks

could some help me im trying to emerge gnome , and i am to gnome-menus where i get a error about checking for inotify_init…. no … i have CONFIG_INOTIFY: Built in . can someone help me out?

“emerge -av category/package”
how am i supposed to know what ‘category’ means there?
ah

sys-apps/sys-kernel/app-portage, goto /usr/portage and every directory in there (except distfiles) is a category

and fdisk will recongize the partition type, but now fdisk doesn’t show any device types or block information. The main concern is when I do command ‘fdisk /dev/hdb4′ (the extended partition), it says Unable to read

why is this and what am i doing wrong?

ye figured that out

tuxick:

just trying to parse the doc about kde4
it’s missing parts
which no doubt are documented somewhere else
http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/kde/wiki isn’t the right one to read?

any ideas on my prob :] ?

does anyone know a *working* guide of setting up an imap server

I’m having a wierd problem I just installed sendmail and it is refusing to start now

bXi_, does the gentoo virtual hosting guide for postfix suit your fancy?

what imap server? I like courier-imap, and it’s really straightforward, IMO

i did a ‘fdisk /dev/hdb’ and got the partition table to show up and it does recognize /dev/hdb4 as an Extended partition. How can i mount this partition, from fstab, or manually?

have you formatted /dev/hdb4 yet?

i thought i did when i moved my linux installation to the new hard drive.

install a working mailserver and add imap

but it’s defintely possible that i didn’t. so there is nothing on the partition yet

would that be doable with qmail?

hi all

hey, i’m having weird problems trying to update sysem and/or world

hey all.. is anyone here crazy enough to be using an old ati r128 card with X11 7.2, and happen to have tv-out support?

i’ve set up qmail some time ago an another box

wellll, mesa built :{

I’m having a wierd problem I just installed sendmail and it is refusing to start now

any particular reason you’re using sendmail?

i followed this btw http://gentoo-wiki.com/Mail_Server_based_on_Exim_and_Courier-imap

apperently something went very wrong, but i cant seemd to find out what

should i just format the extended partition?

‘extended partitions’ aren’t real partitions, if you’re talking about what i think you are. you want to create logical partitions within that extended partition, and then format those logical ones

make[2]: *** [__headersinst] Error 1
make[1]: *** [rdma] Error 2

I just installed gentoo for the first time, and when I leave the install cd and boot to the installed gentoo, I’m unable to connect to my network (dhcp time out). Can someone help me ?

_AxS_, I also run asterisk pbx and I have a script that emails me when voip goes down

yes that’s what i’m talking about, but i’ve never done it before, so you’re saying i need to create logical partitions inside the extended partition and mount those?

dhcp times out, or dhcp doesnt even run?
yes.

okay thanks i will try that

ok thats why you need an MTA. but do you actually need sendmail, over say, qmail or postfix or exim?

just re-read the section in hadnbook about setting up network, make sure youve got the right drivers and ifconfig shows eth0

you know, if voip goes down, chances are good that webmail hosting goes down too

it seem to be running, and after a little time, it return : “Error, eth0: timed out”

_AxS_, do you have a personal problem with sendmail or what?

ah. m. dmesg |grep eth — is eth0 your network card or is eth0 an eth1394 network interface?
yes. its old, and it’s harder to use than the other options
gentoo ZPertee postfix install

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml

…ok thats a bit overkill..
but it’ll work

ok thanks for the info

if you just need something to send mail out, install ssmtp
that is, you don’t need it to be a daemon

_AxS_, ok thanks for your help

np

I don’t undanstand the output, but there is one line with “eth1394: eth0: “

Is anyone aware of a prblem with netscape-flash?

can anybody help me solve binutiles emerge failure?

Can you please pastebin as much of the emerge output as possible, from the bottom up?

yes, you can details at bugs.gentoo.org

AllenJB, where? not here i hope?

*get

that means ‘eth0′ is a firewire-over-ethernet interface. your actual NIC is going to be eth1

teach Serees about pastebin

A pastebin is a web site where you can paste many text lines or sometimes files, to avoid flooding a channel. Try to avoid pastebin.com as it is very slow, consider using rafb.net/paste instead. If you don’t have a browser you can “emerge nopaste” or “emerge wgetpaste” to send text to rafb.net/paste from the command line.

i had /dev/hdb4 as the Extended partition starting at block 5241, and i now created /dev/hdb5 as a Linux type partition starting at the same block as the extended /dev/hdb4, block 5241. Should that work?

yep

okay thanks

np

thx mzbot :p

do i need to “write” the partition table in fdisk before i quit?

yep

damn, dhcpcd eth1 just works !

madjar:

ok thanks again

thank you !

you can adjust your /etc/conf.d/net accordingly and then these will start up on boot
i would recommend setting ‘config_eth0=( “null” )’

it was supid, but I would never have guessed by myself

it helps when you’ve seen it before..

Thank you, and good bye !

anybody know how to find out how much a network interface loads the cpu?

…run nothing else and watch cpu load when there’s a ton of traffic going on?

hello _AxS_
are you sure that for example ‘top’ would show the cpu usage?

http://rafb.net/p/cQZZfH68.html

not 100% sure, no.. but i think it would.. as ’system’ usage

http://rafb.net/p/cQZZfH68.html

_AxS_ do you think that a 200MHz machine would handle routing 100mbit traffic?

definitely.

how about with traffic shaping?

well, most routers aren’t much faster than that..

most routers can’t handle 20Mbit

true
how many systems is this going to deal with?

I’ll want to run a squid server, a ftp server and a samba server as well, and some other things like irssi and stuff

I’d say full 100Mbit needs about 500Mhz to work reliably (depending, of course, on the complexity of the routing)

sorry to bug again, i rebooted and the partition failed to mount, and it won’t mount manually either.

did you make a filesystem on it?

how many clients?

Doh! xD, that i didn’t do
heh. geez, sorry

np

bonsaikitten say 40
_AxS_ let’s pretend it will be ~40 computers

I’d take a “normal” desktop machine for that

i cant’ emerge nvidia-drivers – using emerge -s nvidia – and it cant’ find it =(

say 2Ghz with 2G RAM

for routing?

…yeah, 200mhz might be a bit slow, esp. considering the fact that you want to run daemons on it too

well, squid can be quite heavy
and 100Mbit is a lot of juice

anyone knows where linux based hosting services memory usesage log file?

I guess ram will be more important than cpu speed

bonsaikitten how about just for routing?

anyone knows where gentoo log memory usesage files?

http://rafb.net/p/cQZZfH68.html

bu routing, you mean NAT ?
s/bu/by/

wondering if I can remove the protect from an /etc file in the .ebuild file?

nope.

_AxS_ yeah, what else?

pkg_postinst will allow you to install directly over top of anything, but dont do that.

totally depends on the complexity

I’m going to do that

well, there’s NAT and there’s routing. routing is just the rules defined by ‘route’

if you just push data from A to B it will take maybe 500Mhz

if you know how to compile your kernel properly, ie: get rid of everything you don’t need, you can get a pretty solid box, but with 40 computers their will undoubtedly be pr0n surfers.

a full statefull firewall with a complex ruleset might be quite a lot heavier

Bascially I want to change the /etc/default/useradd file via some package without any manual conf-update needed

how are you guaranteeing a sustained 100Mbit, out of curiosity?

I agree, I run an old pIII katmai as my gateway box

ok… just dont say we didnt warn you.

yeah, used to have an athlon as fileserver/router/gateway/…

I can either move sys-apps/shadow to /usr/local/portage and “hack” it or try to overwrite via self made ebuild

sounds like a great way to break stuff

you could just turn off config-protect

can anyone offer some assistance on a trac install?

heyhey
what’s not working?

Wouldn’t that be a per server setting? This has to be done via the .ebuild file somehow. I don’t want to have to log into a bunch of servers

or better, have whatever you’re doing install via a simple rsync or untar.

bonsaikitten, it’s all your fault! – I’m at the install stage – tracd –port 8000 /var/lib/trac/project1 looks like trac is working – I think my mod_python is configure correctly, but I’m a little uncertain what do to at the authentication stage

This is true

_AxS_ what do you mean sustained? ok, my english is not that good

I don’t see what your problem is now

_AxS_ the isp I’m hoping to move to gives 100mbit of national traffic

100Mbit interfaces are rarely dumping data constantly at 100Mbit. a sustained transfer would be doing that–keeping the nic pegged at 100Mbit

bonsaikitten, the trac guide at http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracModPython seems to describe setting up authentication for ldap or AD – do I have to have either?

no
simple password-based auth will do

how do I do that?

_AxS_ and a lot of isps in my country do that, so there are lot of people with 10 or 100mbit national bandwidth, so when torrent trackers or dc++ servers come in, the connection gets maxed out pretty often

what is kerbose? is it something that a gnome only system would need? thanks

are you setting this up for an entire apartment complex or something?

rtfm
not sure what you did or did not do, you have to be a bit more specific

bonsaikitten, you enjoy my pain

I get a “Digest verification failed” on my pdflib’s ebuild. How do I solve that?

ah. sounds expensive. ok, well, i think the answer is you need something beefier if you don’t want to drop packets or end up with a router as your bottleneck.

what is an easy way to print pictures (with preview and alignment)?

xxd a friend of mine has a lan like that, I have root access to his machine I’m hoping to get that isp soon, and maybe make a lan, only 40 people would be a little bit too optimistic

no, if I did I’d have told you to install bugzilla

It says that it is the wrong size.

_AxS_ it’s really not, national traffic here is very cheap, and with expensive international traffic, it tends to be used pretty much

then you need to make a friend and get scrap/surplus fibre cables , then they can’t blame the bottleneck on you.

I was wondering if someone would mind joining a special cahnnel I idle on. It’s called #Blind-Gentoo-Administration. I’d like to speak with someone who has an idea of exactly what packages I’ll need to compile the latest kernel correctly. Ande exactly what to emerge if I haven’t. I am getting errors about the all target and failiors when compilng busybox happens on my kernel.
And my portage tree is up-to-date.

bonsaikitten, let me ask this … when I ran “tracd –port 8000 /var/lib/trac/ticket”, I was able to connect to localhost on port 8000 and see trac okay – so shouldn’t starting apache with vhosts pointing to that same directory also allow me to connect to trac?

xxd the isp only gives me utp

So I’ll see someone there, but will remain idle here.
Thanks.

Keith-BlindUser: update world no problem?

It’s jsust too overwelming to try to sort out so many messages with speech-access..it extremely sucks. If my question wasn’t of such high-importants, I wouldn’t be asking for smoeone to talk to me one-on-one join another channel, or anything.

they might even put a gigabit switch in my building, but I don’t think they’ll be putting gigabits anytime soon

So BRB

6 I hope at least… but I agree, you will need more then 200, I would go for 1 GHz at the amount of people you want, plus a very minimal install

I’ll check that other channel for anything that might have come up there.

the isp is basically a lan through all of the city, the capital

In about 10 minutes, geting some lunch. BRB

it is always more expensive to upgrade later then go more now

ah yeah.. we have those here.. ‘metronet’s’ they’re called i thinkl

sorry, again. I tried adding the extended partition to my fstab and rebooting to see if it would mount. I attempted to login as usual and i get messages ‘User’s $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored…etc…File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions..etc..’ is there something i need to correct?

and packet shaping/filtering on a complex level is totally out of the question without some beef.

…what did you do after formatting the new partition?

I think apache needs some minor tweaks, but it’s all in the docs

could some help me im trying to emerge gnome , and i am to gnome-menus where i get a error about checking for inotify_init…. no … i have CONFIG_INOTIFY: Built in . can someone help me out?
http://rafb.net/p/75DXm531.html

reiserfs msods vfat iso9660 xfs”,”Kernel panic – Not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs unknown-block(9,1)”) immediatly after “List of all partitions:”, during the kernel init of a new gentoo install.

can’t emerge nvidia-drivers
get this

The root is a raid0 array using xfs, with an external journal on a seperate raid0 array. XFS, raid0 and controller drivers are built into the kernel. I noticed that the end of the partition list, it lists each raid array with a “(driver?)” at the end of each line, not sure if this has anything to do with it.

Digest verification failed:
!!! /usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.09.ebuild
Filesize does not match recorded size

Can anyone help please?

after formatting the new partiton i just added it to my fstab with an entry ‘/dev/hdb5 /home/davo ext3 noatime 0 1 ‘

Did you compile the necessary filessytems into the kernel?

i want to use the extended partition as an addition to my /home directory.

I built all the xfs options into the kernel, along with raid0

or perhaps do i just need to mount it to another location instead of /home?

Meliorator, How can you have roots journal on another raid, or even another fs ? It won’t be available when root is mouted and checked

Do I understand the manual correctly? -fomit-frame-pointer is already included in -O2?

bonsaikitten, so if apache points to the project directory, but just shows a directory listing instead of trac, then vhosts is probably correct and…I goofed elsewhere? yes?

It’s possible, I did with jfs without problem

..ok, ut did you copy stuff from /home/davo to the new partition furst??
first, rather

xxd, what do you consider complex, and what do you call beef?

nope, i haven’t done anything with my old /home directory
if it’s still there…

yeah, you need to copy or move the stuff from /home first. unmount /dev/hdb5, then mount it to /mnt/cdrom (just because that directory is there)

Hi, i’ve try to emerge dev-perl/DBD-mysql but stop with this msg “Cannot find the file ‘mysql_config’”. Previously i’ve installed mysql but manually…

Meliorator, The unknown-block (9,1) is /dev/md1 … it seems your root fs is missing from the kernel

then cp -a /home/* /mnt/cdrom/

whew, i was scared there for minute

delete the tar file in /usr/portage/distfiles and/or wait until ebuild has been fixed in portage

how can i use the little puple gentoo bar from the livecd on my system?

umount /mnt/cdrom; mv /home /home-old; mkdir /home; mount /dev/hdb5 /home

I don’t know how to specify the path to mysql to the emerge command…, anyone knows how to do it?

the fbsplash?

well that would be cool to. but i mean the purple bar
on the right

I can see why you might think that, I’ll just reboot with a livecd and paste kernel config lines
*on a pastebin

the thing that shows up during boot..
…and shutdown

ebrake i don’t have it there only olders versions

Meliorator, ok

okay i’ll give it a shot. thanks _AxS_

np.. gl

no im talking about the purple border , on the left that says gentoo on it

it’s one problem or the other. either a corrupt tar file or a bad hash in the ebuild

you need the correct splash theme
my guess is that the splash-themes-livecd package has what you want

ebrake the problem that i never used this version and i have no tar files in /usr/portag/distfiles =(

emerge installed x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati is that needed for a rage128 pro?

is there an EASY way to get virtual mail setup?

doh

you can search bugs.gentoo.org to discover whether the problem has been found and sync again when it’s fixed.

mod_python is working

\o/

Mahasamatman, yes

No (i used handbook to set nvidia)

fyi, that rage pro is probably actually a mach64. same driver either way though

I don’t use nvidia.

ebrake

ok _AxS_ I will look into that ty
the rage printed on the gpu is misleading _AxS_ I guess?

ZogG, most dri issues can be solved if you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Is it easier to set DRI on an intel chipset (or just an intel graphics card)?

so since it is not mentioned in the gentoo ati faq, what does that mean _AxS_?

Mahasamatman, put Driver “ati” in your xorg.conf … it will choose the right driver for you

I see 2 config dialogs in xorgcfg. wierd

Skankerpotimous, You need kernel support for your AGP chipset, Kernel DRM support for your GPU … they are are much the same
