why not, show me the docs for that one

it really beats the purpose of gentoo, but if you really want to could probably just add -all- of them to /etc/make.conf

Ehnvis at the moment i just need all the softawre i want installed os my wife will stop nagging

try emerging libgssglue/libgssapi

not sure how to trigger bad behaviour

ok

same issue

ok. wrong info.

the use of a keyword is not connected with the matter of whether one does or doesn’t use a versioned atom. he could just as well exclude the keyword for a non-versioned atom also.

i cant emerge it.

jvs|dagobah

sry

you have to remeber that Gentoo is a -high-maintenance- system.

Anyone using small dm’s? like fluxbox?

doing emerge -uNDva world and for some reason kbd-1.12-r8 won’t compile.. anyone else having that same problem ?

nattdyr do u mean a “-all-” flag all literaly all of them

thanks for your help ..

sorry, but then i dont think gentoo is for you or atleast for that machine that your wife use.

eep - *fluxbox

literaly all of them.

i only have one pc

Music^Hound: you need to provide an error and a trace via pastebin if you plan on getting any assistance

Che-Anarc: using fluxbox over here.

fluxbox is cool

nattdyr would or could that cause any compile errors

kwhat ok thanx

lol @ ir8

augh

is dga flag needed for Fluxbox and such if I got ATI X700 Card I am not sure?

don’t know, I have never heard about such a thing before. You can back it up and try

i can get get this fixed :/ icant*

pastebe in your keywords file

adding all use flags to make.conf would make your system a mess and clumsy.

well i did,

what does the above error mean?

it’s a linux filesystem. I don’t know which. it says “other linux 2.6.x kernel” environment in vmware

the entire thing cat /etc/portage/packages.keywords

i just need to learn how to perfictly set the USE=”" for my system

that means learning curve

oh lol … boot a livecd in the virtual machine, mount it and have a look at mount output

i keep getting compile errors for serveral packages

He He

its an on going process

I had updated Xorg to 7.3. Now it does not load. (EE) Failed to load module “fglrx” (module requirement mismatch, 0)

recompile it

how can i learn what i need to know

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=2

hi, I’ve bought an hp officejet j5708 do I have to emerge any specific package ?

I can’t boot vom livecd (you mean the one I started install, networkless) because I guess I burned grup on “hard disc”

Does anybody have conflicts between libgssglue and libgssapi this morning?

yep

/etc/portage/package.use

hm - anybody knows why kgpg-shred is _so_ fast compared to shred?

so press F8 or delete and chose the cdrom drive

i type that in.

wrong

okay.

ah ok

that would go to package.keywords

what is the correct way?

Hey all - I was wondering if anyone had any issues upgrading to xorg-server-1.4 and the new ATI Drivers 8.40? I realize that the new xorg server has a new dbi implementation, and I’ve tried to re-emerge the ati drivers, the x11 mouse and keyboard drivers, but xorg wouldn’t start…this is for Gentoo

if this is a desktop, then you use the desktop profile and the most important stuff will be enabled for you by default. If you miss things you feel is important, then you just add it

okay i also have in there as well.

kal-el: yes, there’s even a blocker, so I don’t know how you even managed that

libgssapi compiled fine on my system, x86 0.10

=app-cdr/nero-3.0.1.3 ~x86 eddie portage #

i had recompiled all x11*/*driver* and ati-drivers ports

ok, how does it fail when you try “emerge nero” ?

DrEeevil, apparently the block has been removed…all I did was emergy –sync and then did an update

the same way

is very possible the quality ati drivers are not 7.3 compatible. You using the latest masked drivers?

kal-el: no it hasn’t

first of all what profile are you using? ls -l /etc/make.profile if your not using the desktop profile i would recommend you to swap to that one as it has a good starter set of use flags.

read the error message again

What is US=”evo” //Adds support for evolution ?

http://pastebin.ca/690409

DrEeevil, do you know how I can downgrade to xorg-server-1.3 using portage/emerge?

don’t give up! Gentoo is very fine it’s worth it

yes. Last version (INstalled 8.40.4)

default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop

Hello.

kal-el: mask xorg-server-1.4

hmm you should be good then, if your not emerging some strange programs or have any other strange system settings.

i have just –sync… And something new: [blocks B ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers (is blocking x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r1, x11-base/xorg-server-1.4

any other suggestions?

I have a problem when trying to emerge world. x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers (is blocking x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r1) …

hi all. “/usr/libexec/cups/backend/canon failed” on cups. Any ideas ?

und3f, I guess I have the same problem but with the nvidia drivers

N-0-X:

this is going to get dangerous…. unmrege xorg-server …. you may need to unmask the latest version of that …. no guarantees i have not done this in a while.

N-0-X: don’t upgrade to 1.4 because nvidia drivers won’t work, so i hear…i don’t use em N-0-X: don’t upgrade to 1.4 because nvidia drivers won’t work, so i hear…i don’t use em

darksiide, oh, ok

UMMM? nano /etc/make.profile IS BLANK?

darksiide, when will that? Any idea? :p

N-0-X: when will it work?

its a folder not a file

N-0-X: when nvidia fixes it

darksiide, lol, ok.

oh

So I guess i’ll just block xorg-server until then

/etc/make.profile isnt a file it’s a directory

Thanks

everyones will be different, but here is what I use http://gentoo.easyshellz.com/gentoo/etc/make.conf and http://gentoo.easyshellz.com/gentoo/etc/portage/package.use only as an example

can i use new x11-xorg with xorg-server 1.3.0.0?

a mod should edit the topic with the new xorg server + binary drivers mess

i have no idea, but it “should” work as far as i have heard …

ok i’ll try

portage will bitch if it needs to upgrade pacakges

but day ago xorg-server dont blocks ati and nvidia drivers

FYI, to add a file to a package, all you have to do is to modify its CONTENTS file in /var/db/pkg

and i sucessfully update xorg and xserver

was there an upgrade to the drivers

no

yeah, never unmerge that package and never re-merge it

i would have to look closer, which i have to much of a headache to do at the moment

it seems to work, but don’t tempt portage

it seems that portage doesn’t want me to emerge world because I am blocking xorg-server-* and that it seems to be required by x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers even though I have the latest version installed ((dependency required by “x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.11″ [installed])

ok.

Hi everyone, I am in the process of starting an update (emerge -avuD world), and I have x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers blocking x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r1, has there been a recent change in the way gentoo deals with nvidia and Xorg? What is the current way to install Nvidia drivers through portage? Thanks.

N-0-X: yeah, nvidia fails to update their drivers, mask xorg-server-1.4

N-0-X: seems to be having the same issue und3f…. i would suggest workign together.

you cannot use xorg 1.4 with nvidia drivers

so, if I install the new version of Xorg I won’t have 3d accelerated graphics anymore?

looks ok to me

KWhat_Work, yup’. Actually, I’m juts trying to update the rest of my system and then i’ll update xorg later when the drivers are fixed

if u did not xv at the end some got cut off?

exactly … thank nvidia for that

please someone

Is this temporary till Nvidia puts out a new driver? or am I stuck at Xorg version 1.3 forever with my nvidia card?

magesing, nvidia will release a new driver i would guess

(One should probably add to the topic that whole thing of drivers and the new xorg version, no?)

you have to wait for nvidia to adapt N-0-X: yes, we’re working on it

DrEeevil, okay

sorry i don’t have a /var/lib/X11

What is the proper way to tell my system not to update Xorg until further notice?

magesing /etc/portage/package.mask

use oneshot or package.mask

var/lib/xkb?

DrEeevil, about masking xorg-server, I’ve already done so and even added the no-rebuild flag (-n). Actually, I’ve masked: x11-base/xorg-server , x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers and x11-base/xorg-x11 but degraph still fails because of the masks actually :s

emerge xf86-video-sis http://rafb.net/p/XBVP6D61.html

N-0-X: yeah, masking it all might be overkill

fixed it!

ok, I’ll mask it

lotsa valium + alcohol + the pub ehrm, sorry wrong channel

sounds like alot of people run ~x86 in their accept_keywords in make.conf. as they have the xorg-server problem i mean.

Ehnvis, ~amd64 here but I get your point

it is much more up to date

ok

yeah i know that, but i do use that flag on some of the programs i use. but still not for the whole system as i’ve seen what it can do (did run that a year ago or so).

Bye everyone

I do it to find bugs

i dont have the time anymore to hunt bugs, but glad that someone does and i appreciate that.

I hate bugs, that’s why I hunt them

is xorg-x11-7.3 being worked on?

define “worked on”

are there people busy on the ebuild

hopefully someone can suggest a fix for me, i emerged a new system without the jpeg use flag, and now i can’t get eog to show jpegs, despite having rebuilt it with the jpeg use flag on

why won’t ati-drivers work with newest x-server?

I mean, to stabalize it

busy doing what it works

how many reasons is there for me to get a compile error on one of the packages when i tri to install gnome or kde?

it’s blocked

yeah, but it’s marked testing for most architectures…

have you added jpeg to /etc/make.conf and done an emerge -uDN world?

that is to be expected

how to avoid it..or install them

maybe because it’s new?

I need to know, if there is a possibility to install and maintain gentoo with nearly no compiling, or to get e.g. debians apt working on gentoo. Background is the following: I have access to an old HP K-Class Computer. It is a really cool, tall machine, and I want to use secure linux web hosting on it. Now here comes the problem: I am not getting any debian HPPA Kernel booting, but the current gentoo hppa live

you fail it

gentoo and “no compiling” doesnt exist

yes it does GRP packages

hello, i have a v4l1 webcam and ekiga don’t detect it(it’s a gspcav1 camera) but with kopete it’s fine….what should i do?

Music^Hound: from where?

I told you to mount it to find out what filesystem …

depends on the package

lol

open office has a bin file also so you don’t need to compile all of it

Music^Hound: http://gentoo.osuosl.org/grp/ same on all mirrors

But there is e.g. the stage3 archive, with precompiled packages.

you can even do GRP from your install cd if you use the live dvd

Is it possible to cross-emerge between amd64 and HPPA? So I could use 2 thinkpads and compile mostly with those …

you can set up distcc with crosscompiling

The thing is , you will never get all of what you need or want from grp

even with such different archs like amd64 and HPPA? and does it really take the load from the old machine then?

Got this nasty problem with AltGr not working in X. Checked my xorg.conf and tried to change the binding by xmodmap - no results. Any ideas where I could start off to find the solution?

hi, i just added a new NIC and at first the hwaddr was normal looking, but now it’s all zeros. i know i can assign a new one, but why would this happen?

it should work for any arch. It’s also possible to completely compile on another machine and install the binaries it creates…

that sounds interesting, where can I find more information about that?

check your xorg.conf and add Option “XkbVariant” “nodeadkeys” under the inputdevice for your keyboard.

for example it is possible to run Gentoo on NSLU2’s http://gentoo-wiki.com/Gentoo_on_NSLU2 ask in #gentoo-hppa

I already did that. Same for XkbDisable.

you guys are my last hope

but we are not Obi-Wan

i guess you have “XkbModel” “pc105″ in there as well?

Hi all

thx for your help. i am going to report later these days

/boot is ext2 and / ext3

Anyone knows what’s the name of the game where you shoot balls down with another ball?

right, now go add that to your kernel

anyone here had problem on emerging ‘xorg-docs/xorg-1.4-r1′ ?

has the xorg 1.4 the nvidia drivers included, or why are the drivers blocking this update?

GParted has screwed up my windows partition and I can’t boot windows vista now. It tells me that it can’t find winload.exe but the file is there. GParted tends to do this but the only fix that I can find involves a vista install disk which I don’t have

Yep, did that.

It seems, we can’t merge xorg-docs successfullly

ok. Do I need this shm tmpfs? because tab completion always gives /dev/shm

you’ve just become windows-free

heh, someone add the binary driver issue to mzbot

leave that alone

on a running system, can I uncomment that

can you explain that?

DrEeevil Sounds good except that all my notes are on OneNote on that partition and are not backed up. I have a speech in 3 days and a test on definitions in 2, both of which are in those onenote notes

No, it’s because xorg-server-1.4* doesn work with nvidia-drivers.

nvidia needs to adapt their drivers to the new xorg, will take time you’re screwed

lol thanks for the kind words

hmm and you have defined a correct “XkbLayout” and you have loaded the correct and working keymap at boot?

so i wont be able to use beryl, until this is done?

get the data out, find a way to reinfect your machine with wheeee-sta and pray

I have ext2 and ext3 enabled

support for the controller?

or until you downgrade.

how can I find out the controller

does this release of xorg support mice with different names than “event0″

lspci

Thank God for bittorrent, I will have a vista install disk eventualy but I could use my speech notes NOW

err … uhm … yes? lesson to learn, use free software

as i need to rename my mouse with udev so that it will always get the same name

I need some help with grub’s menu I have two HDs with two OSs

on a roll

right now I’m unplugging and plugging them to switch boots..

DrEeevil can’t find anything that does it all for school . I’m all about linux for everything except games and school

yeah, I’m evil

that’s retarded, so.. help? pretty please?

uhm … I fail to understand your needs

erm? the mouse should always be able to be seen under /dev/input/mice.. or am i wrong? that has always worked here on alot of different machines.

Layout is set to de_CH which should work just fine - at least if I’m not a complete dork. Not quite sure about the keymap though.

root (hd0,0) and hd(1,0) .. if the os is on the first partition

DrEeevil office 2k3+ (not openoffice) for school and course games

teach grub to boot the other OS

what does office do that you really need?

ms office is awesome

that’s what I thought. Now, I have 3 HDDs, actually. The third one is a SATA (the other two are IDE) and is always on OOffice is not worse

there is an example grub.conf in /boot/ somewhere

I dual boot with XP for gaming too, though

learn tex …

thats not the problem… i have a diNovo desktop and all my three input devices have the same name, and always get different ids for evdev… makes it difficult to use the 12 buttons…

DrEeevil it doesn’t do anything special other than be Office which is a requirement for 2 classes

check /etc/conf.d/keymaps

ah, your classes fail at life

ah got ya.

i use office all day, imo, ms office is way better than anything else

the thing is that I don’t know which harddrive does grub understand for hd(1,x), if my second IDE or the SATA one

nice little touches

ugh!

hmmm

you’re not the one having to integrate text from 4 different office versions I guess

do you knwo which drive grub is on?

and previous versions of evdev and xorg weren’t able to use the renamed device node for evdev

yeah, ms aren’t one for compatibility

not really, depends on what you use from it, I guess. It’s a little less complicated in changes followup and whatnot I dont remember the english word

we have OOffice to open old MS docs

name whatever

I think that means that that drive is 0, and the other must then be 1

hellooo

hd(0,0)

controller enabled too

i like office 2003 i think the new one is a little.. what’s the word.

but there’s TWO others, see change control?

incompatible?

the european union has decided to make opendocument as the standard for document exchange… until ms can use od, they will loose customers…

i dunno. it plays all our older access games and stuff

trial and error?

all i’ve used from 2007 is access though

how do you link a program say /home/x so that when I type “x” in console, it runs that program?

hello

“path”

ls -lA

doesn’t grub have a different syntax for SCSI discs, really? damn. Oh, wait.. I think I can set up the HDD numbers on BIOS yeay

liek PATH=”$PATH;/home/me”

I don’t need to have all HHDs with OSs as masters, do I? just the one with the bootloader

or something

no, all grub knows is hd for harddisk. It cares not about IDE/SATA/SCSI/next-years-fad

hey. just checking. how many time does it take to compile the kernel in a P4, 1.7GHz?

not sure about your quotes, but that’s the idea

brb phone

depends on how many modules you have in it?

not for me

or just type ~/x

anyway, up and down? about not exactly?

hmm

I already have a program running linking it as just x in the console

I had an AthXP with 1G RAM and it took me… about 5min, maybe? maybe 10 more than 5 less than 15, I’d say

a friend said about 30′ ?

maybe depends a lot on what else are you doing

ok thanks..

I dont think I ever took 30′, but maybe I’m doing my Athlon-PIV conversions wrong try

it will be done faster if you start it

i have but coulnd’t know how will it take and so i aborted. now i must do many things from beggining

any ideas on this failed emerge? http://pastebin.ca/690461 I was trying to emerge app-accessibility/dasher

hi all can someone explain me in a nutshell why I should chose gentoo-sources rather then vanilla-sources ?

because gentoo-sources is supported with security patches and vanilla is not

Block Devices or Device Drivers? has it moved?

dawn`chorus: searching with ‘/’

the “base” portion of genpatches sometimes tracks stable queue fixes even before they make it into the next stable vanilla release. also, some other useful fixes are often included. finally, the “extras” portion has a handful of patches which some find useful (squashfs which is needed by the LiveCD, speakup for accessibility, vesafb-tng and a couple of others).

would a sync fix the problem?

dawn`chorus: use the / search in menuconfig

overall, it doesn’t deviate a great deal from vanilla though.

hkBst, troxor, thx. didn’t realize that was there. under General Setup.

hkBst, what kind of security fixes? And if those fixes are absolutely superB why aren’t they part of vanilla?

if the maintainer is aware of the problem and fixed it, yes.

vanilla is exactly what it says, vanilla. you get what you’re given but the Gentoo kernel team will dedicate resources to managing their own patchset (note that the “base” portion of genpatches is shared between multiple *-sources ebuilds). besdies, not everyone wants to run the latest vanilla (they’re not always as stable as upstream would have you believe).

how do I got about using that patch?

kerframil, owkey, now what kinds of things are different?

they become part of vanilla eventually.

having a bespoke kernel patchset allows for greater control of the release cycle and provides many other benefits, a couple of which I’ve mentioned. you don’t need me to tell you: dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches I’d suggest following the “trunk” link

Yoda, like I speak

or the release information link, for that matter

I were searching for it already, but it isn’t quite clear

was trying to get an emerge -e world to fix the /etc mishap, but now the binutils binaries in /usr/arch/bin is pointing at the wrong version of binutils

it is the same as with other packages. Gentoo patches them so they work together or to correct issues that we can’t wait until the next upstream release for. Vanilla is garanteed to be unpatched.

is there a safe way to fix that, or shoudl i just move the simlinks

with all the problems that goes with that.

use binutils-config if you can the relevant config files are under /etc/env.d/binutils (i.e. in a similar manner to gcc)

hkBst, I’m having a bit trouble with my audio output and disk I/O wait, (excessive disk use halts my system, ene tough I have two CPU’s)

thanks

s/ene/even

having a problem emerging ekiga. googled it, read the man, still can’t figure out why. can someone please help. http://pastebin.ca/690476

hkBst, I were trying to figure out wether the patches caused it, seen the fact that my RHEL kernel did fine for years with the same hardware.

I am trying to set up an OVERLAY to install an sshdfilter ebuild. I have added PORTDIR_OVERLY=”/usr/local/portage into /etc/make.conf and also downloaded the ebuild into this directory. When I try to emerge sshdfilter I get there are no ebuilds to satisfy sshdfilter. Any suggestions?

I think vanilla-sources is there exactly so you can be sure to exclude the Gentoo patchset as the culprit

hi what cflags for a core 2 duo?

OVERLaY*

nocaca

32 bit

What?

cflags

if what I used was the handbook says

faq cflags

CFLAGS are flags you want to pass to your compiler when it is building C programs. These flags can contain optimizations that you wish to use. Please use sane settings as overoptimizations have an average effect. See /etc/make.conf.examples for examples and sane defaults. See also http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3/gcc/Invoking-GCC.html

gnoob, pwlib and opal already emerged?

you typoed me correct

marenz, yes, both are emerged already

ok, and where is the ebuild?

Hi, I am trying to emerge truecrypt but it fails with the following error. http://rafb.net/p/ExtIgM63.html . I have tried to compile other kernel modules in portage without fail…so I don’t know what can cause this. Anyone can help me?

sohuld be safe

/usr/local/portage/sshdfilter/sshdfilter-1.5.5.ebuild

will it affect printing?

you need to put it in /usr/local/portage/CATEGORY/sshdfilter/sshdfilter-1.5.5.ebuild

gn00b, then i’m out of ideas, have a look at bugs.gentoo.org and open a new bug if your problem isn’t already covered

you should be able to get them back after

marenz, ok. thanx

ok. What category should it go in? Something like net-firewall?

ok, thanks for the help mate

it doesn’t really matter

Ok. It is now in /usr/local/portage/net-firewall/sshdfilter I get same error.

Any idea, anyone?

make a nice paste with all relevant info please

have you digested the ebuild?

how do I do that?

it should complain if that were it

What would you like me to paste?

i thought that was the problem as it complains about no ebuilds to satisfy sshdfilter?

start with emerge output we’ll know soon now

http://rafb.net/p/CAB32387.html

are you running amd64 non-multiboot? are you running amd64 non-multilib*?

I am running AMD64, got last week…I updated the drivers and nothing else.

gnoob, think you should reopen that bug because the person who created that bug closed it because he found a workaround, but if the same problem still occurs the developer might not have fixed the ebuild?

Like, drivers for new motherboard only.

my php.ini file in the Paths and Directories section have some entries that start like var =”.:/somepath” what means that .:?

can any1 tell me why i stopped received the gentoo newsletters all of a sudden, although i did not register?

I actually don’t want to go into 64-bit mode to avoid A) recompilation of all system and B) 32-bit incompatibility.

remove the category there paste the emerge output

Roger that. http://rafb.net/p/ExtIgM63.html

i got the last one on the 7th of may

no idea, use bugzilla

hi! has anyone any idea on how to remove blockers?

…d*mn. Now that sucks hard.

yea, happened to me too. although i am still “subscribed” to the list what package?

does anyone know a good and easy ftp server client to set up/configure?

darksiide, yea im also still subscribed

a lot of kde programs

darksiide, so what can we do?

it isn’t just one

expat stuff

not sure, i haven’t looked into it. i’m going to try unsubscribing and resubscribing again sometime

hello

eh, what is blocking what?

I just did ‘emerge -uDa world’ successfully after having done ‘emerge -e kdelibs’, also successfully now I am doing ‘revdep-rebuild -X –library libexpat.so.0′ am I wasting my time? (KDE won’t start :P)

i try to mix stable with testing and i’ll paste my emerge -uDNpv $PKGS output to pastebin in a moment…

i came here with a problem to solve i cant find stacks size option in kernel hacking section, and i need it for ndiswrapper module for my wlan

 

Secure Jdk Web Host

 

do you use menuconfig or what?

menuconfig

to search use the “/” key

http://rafb.net/p/Rd47g543.html

hi all i have a small question. i compiled gnome without a flag in his dependancies. now emerge -pv gnome shows me only gnome. how can i see the full tree? thank you very much!

can Miro be installed in gentoo with an e-build???? http://www.getmiro.com/download/

remove the category there, thus PORTDIR_OVERLAY=”/usr/local/portage/”

did you change your USE flags or ..?

http://rafb.net/p/48f1Li48.html

the first time i did only “emerge gnome” but now i can’t use jpeg files for things such wallpapers, themes, and so on

yes, go into that dir and do “ebuild sshdfilter-1.5.5.ebuild digest” then emerge as normal

i would like to know which package must i recompile with that flag

Hm, if I go into the work directory and compile manually it compiles fine. Anything that can be done about that?

I get an i/o error when executing grub

i would make sure you have the jpeg USE flag in your USE flags, it is needed for many apps

i used / to search for stacks but nothing about 8KB or 12KB stacks selecting…

dev fd0, sector 0

!meta truecrypt

Package: app-crypt/truecrypt Herd: crypto Maintainer: crypto@gentoo.org

emerge –info to see your USE flags that are currently set

ll go and ask on amd64

umm, its probably a hidden option, which will appear after you enable the correct option

send mail to the crypto herd or file a bug

I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0

urhm…er…sure, sure.

yes i know that is a flag problem, but “jpeg” is not a flag of gnome, but is a flag of some package like gnome-blah

http://rafb.net/p/LCaOlR72.html

i’m not sure that the correct kernel option is called for that, you could take a peek in the .config file if you know what you are looking for

the problem is to find the name of the package that needs the jpeg flag!

do you know a www that shows influence of kernel options on other options ?

heh, nope

thanx mate

hi, is there a manual way to add a printer, not through the cups web page? thanks

right, i’m trying to find out if you just added the jpeg flag or not, there is a newuse option for emerge

can i install gentoo onto a flash drive

/etc/portage/package.keywords_

if you didn’t JUST add it then the mystery package already has jpeg support and you have a diff problem

I just installed gentoo on a intel P35 chipset (Abit IP35-E mother board). When I shutdown the system, it does all the stuff but can’t power off the system (system Fan runs). What is missing?

thank you!

dragonlar, yes, you can. There is wiki for it, i guess

emerge -avuDN gnome, check the man page for portage to see what those options mean

here is a list with blockers: i added –tree to the list of emerge’s options: http://pastebin.com/m18f676f0

thanx

how do I apply the patch for dasher? http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189307

malahal__, Something in APM/AIPC

I tried doing a locate on the .cpp file but nothign showed up

gentoo is fantastic, but sometimes flags make me fool

NeddySeagoon, you mean ACPI? not AIPC???

I’ve never done anything like this before

sata missing in kernel

not sure man, looks like you are trying to mix the monolithic kde and the modular one

i’m trying to emerge kde packages but it pulls kdebase for some reason

lnxnt_, my sata was missing in 2.6.22-r5 but everything worked in -r6. What sata controller you have?

the bug report says there’s a patch but its’ very vague on what to do to fix it

eh, i can’t tell what the problem is sorry

I dont know it’s just vmware and I don’t know what it does with the disk. but in gentoo I have /dev/sda1 2 and 3

thank you anyway

how can I execute a command based on the output of the previous command for example say I do an ls -al and then want to move all of the results to a folder called temp

micand, use pipe ‘|’

theres an error in net-ftp/proftpd-1.3.1_rc3. mod_sql_mysql.c:598: Error: Missing “

is there an algorythm that can be used to trace the package that trigger this version conflict? (3.5.7 vs. 3.5.7-r3)

Hello, I am attempting to merge net-fs/ntfs-utils and I receive an error “No package

michael_, you can’t do that simply because programs depend on precise input!

malahal__, yeah one of the power management options is missing from your kernel

Hello, I am attempting to merge net-fs/ntfs-utils and I receive an error “No package ‘libgssapi’ found” ..so I do an emerge -p libgssapi only to find it blocks another package that I need libgssglue.. any suggestions?

theres an error in net-ftp/proftpd-1.3.1_rc3. mod_sql_mysql.c:598: Error: Missing “

NeddySeagoon, good point. I think I copied the config from sysrescuecd and used genkernel.

Has anyone else encountered problems emerging the latest ebuild for xorg-docs?

malahal__ that usually fails for much newer kernels as make oldconfig drops things

try -mysql USE flag

NeddySeagoon, ok

drops MANY things…., everytime i change the kernel, i have to enable rais by hand, as it gets disabled everytime

moepman raid is not in the genkernel config

olek, funny man, i have mysql installed… and need the mysql flag for php-mysql

moepman make you own kernels - they will be much leaner than genkernel

michael_, you can try ‘mv * /temp’. It moves everything in the current dir to /temp/ folder

but why is it always disabled, even if i use oldconfig? i use genkernel with menuconfig and told genkernel not to touch anything until i say it

How to update files in /etc again?

Che-Anarc, dispatch-conf

thx

as it is the simpliest way to compile kernel, modules, build my splashscreen and install everything, including the grub config with one command

interesting. When I start X, my computer crashes after the upgrade to xorg 1.4 and it’s not my WM

moepman I’ve never used genkernel … so it must be something it does. raid propgates from one kernel to the next with make oldconfig for me

mod_sql_mysql.c:598: Error: Missing ” — thats the message

i use make oldconfig before i use genkernel for a new kernel source, ans everytime raid is off.. its annoying…

df:cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or dir

/proc bindmount it

how should it… chroot has just a root fs, no mounting…

moepman, … learn to not use genkernel at all

what is bindmount you mean mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc before chrooting i did that

what can i do default entry in menu.lst to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-gentoo-r6

Hi.

thats not my prob atm… i just wanted to make an update to proftpd, and i get mod_sql_mysql.c:598: Fehler: fehlendes abschließendes Zeichen ” (error, missing tailing “) and you need to copy your /etc/mtab to the chroot

Hello, I am attempting to merge net-fs/ntfs-utils and I receive an error “No package ‘libgssapi’ found” ..so I do an emerge -p libgssapi only to find it blocks another package that I need libgssglue.. any suggestions?

moepman, sorry I don’t use proftpd

sorry.. net-fs/nfs-utils

there is an error in the code… i just wanted to tell it somebody, so that it may be corrected…

ok but basically I don’t need df. I execute grub-install /dev/sda and get the df error

irc is not the place to “file” bug reports

moepman, file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org, or it will be forgotten

mean, gentoo handbook doesn’t say to copy that over

I just upgraded to xorg-server-1.4-r1 and now my keyboard doesn’t work anymore when I startx as user, only Ctrl-Alt-{F1,..,F12,DEL} work. If I startx as root, nomal keyboard input is accepted. Does anyone know what the culprit could be?

mean the quick install guide

Quick question! I need to make an ebuild for an app I want to install in /usr/local. Do you know any guidelines and well, tutorials for writing a simple ebuild?

See the topic of #gentoo-dev-help

Thank you.

here is a good start: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Write_Ebuilds

does anyone know a simple filemanager for x ?

Ah, thank you very much! I’ll go read it right away. You can try the standard KDE/GNOME/XFCE ones, or maybe worker, krusader…

Have you re-emerge x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard ?

hmm thank you … ill check the simple ones out

Yes, I recompiled everything in x11-drivers.

Um, any clues in Xorg log?

No, no errors, no warnings…

xorg.conf setup properly ?

The same I used for xorg 6.8 till now.

I can’t see how that would depend on user account?

indeed @Cap

cpy /etc/mtab to?

I’ve just managed to get synaptics touchpad working.

/mnt/gentoo/etc/mtab guess how do i know if i’m in a chrooted env or not

Took all day, and following bug reports closely.

lnxnt_ do ls /mnt is gentoo there ? if so you are outside the chroot

therefore there is the command to “sign” your shell with “chroot” in the handbook…

You did check the log after user login and not root?

ahok

Yes. It looks like a problem with permissions, but unfortunately I don’t know where I should look…

NeddySeagoon keep getting an error for kbd-1.12-r8… make[1]: *** [kbd.pot] Error 127 !!!! emake failed .. what could be a fix ?

Possibly the x11 driver file permissions, but I would expect something in the log. Check /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/kbd_drv.so is readable by everybody.

Did that. Readable and executable by everyone, like the mouse driver (which works).

no it does not work I need a gentoo virtual machine with umbrella (kde program) x86 ~ 3Gig not bigger any links? then i emerge lilo maybe lilo works is it possible that grub should be configured before chrooting

Music^Hound, Thats a new onw to me

can any1 help with vmware?

lnxnt_, you can configure grub any time after grub is emerged … so you would normally be in the chroot

x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r1 is in portage is it safe to use? or same probs as 1.4?

anyone had success with this howto? http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Iptables_for_newbies

At least I have problems with the keyboard, so probably it’s wise to wait some days.

it seems to me like its leaving many kernel setting

ok

hello can you help me with the following error please ? http://rafb.net/p/GCYgTr99.html

hi all

lol

hello can you help me with the following error please ? http://rafb.net/p/GCYgTr99.html

_Angelus_, http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191709? _Angelus_, without the last “?”

yeah figured that out marenz told meh bug not valid lol

is it possible to buy stuff from the gentoo shop using paypal or direct bank transfer? i do not have a credit card but would like to buy some T-shirts

hi guys, I’m just wondering about some programming stuff. Not really gentoo, but I don’t know where else to look I’m trying to find a tasm compiler for linux. Does something like that exist?

hi everybody, how can i make the ndiswrapper module load at the startup?

hey hey wo quick quesions 1 how do i change the default keyboard from USA to UK wo - two =P

locales and/or xorg?

you can add it to the modules.autoload thing you used when you setup the system unless… did you use genkernel?

John, take a look at /etc/conf.d/keympas, too

talcite, i emerge the sources, compile and use that kernel…

keymaps

alright, then you also configured modules I suppose? there’s a file under modules.autoload.d or something in the /etc directory

hi

i’m not on my gentoo system so I can’t find it for you

is it true, if you swear here you are banned?

talcite, ok i’ll check it, thanks…

worth a try

wanna try?

/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.X X being a 2.4 or 2.6 kenrel

fuck yes I mean yes

erm…. everything

can understand the solution of that bug marenz any help please?

do i have to do it for xorg and everything else sepuratly?

is it possible to buy stuff from the gentoo shop using paypal or direct bank transfer? i do not have a credit card

ok that kind of confirms

dave32, thanks i found it

have you tried?

_Angelus_, as i understand you only need renderproto and libXrender in the version 0.9.2 to compile xorg-server

likewhoa, it only has credit card as payment method on the website

that totally blows. file a bug, lol

okay, changed it for /etc/conf.d/keympas

but what should i do to stop the error marenz?

*keymaps anything else?

np

_Angelus_, you have both packages installed at version 0.9.2 ?

what?

take a look at your xorg.conf file

likewhoa, hehe yea i should

oops tab complettion

they should just use their own merchant gateway and not cafepress.

oh he left

no marenz one is .3 and the other .4 :/

likewhoa, i think so too

seems they only accept “Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and CafeCash” paypal should be on that list.

likewhoa, and i had such a good opinion of these gentoo guys

I was trying to build hal just now, and it said I must build “sys-apps/pciutils without the zlib USE flag” ???

#gentoo-userrel and complaint

yes, do what it says

_Angelus_, please do an emerge –sync again, i’m in the process of updating an my xorg-server pulls in the correct version as it seems *hoping it compiles* so your system might be out of sync, the emerge -uDNpv world again

k

Nothing i can really see i xorg.conf

_Angelus_, emerge –sync, emerge -uDNpv world should give you the correct versions and make xorg-server compile

the problem is at the moment im doing an emerge -eav world that has been going for 2days

is there a “XkbLayout” in your xorg.conf file?

nope ho hum

add it

i changed the other thing, tha’ll probibly do oh, hehe, okay ^_^

_Angelus_, then just mask the libXrender-0.9.4 version so that it won’t get emerged but the previous version gets emerged

Option “XkbLayout” “us”

Which section?

_Angelus_, after masking just do a emerge –resume

Section “InputDevice” Keyboard

lol i have Accept_keywords=”~x86″ marenz -_-

a “us” mouse would be weird

Awesome, done hhahaha, yeah =P

works?

_Angelus_, hrr hrr bad idea

i guess i’d have to reboot

no restart X

oh. oh yeah brb

ctrl+alt+backspace

dough i did an emerge –sync and re-emerged xorg-xserver im hoping it wont crash

_Angelus_, so now you lost the change to do emerge –resume? and you’ve been compiling for two days?

I’m still getting that emerge-killing “Alarm clock” message I mentioned a few days ago. Anyone have any idea how to get rid of it?

nope, emerge –resume still continued after an emerge –sync

_Angelus_, oh ok i thought you emerged x-org afterwards?

no lol

sweet keyboard is correct now second quick question… how do i change the font / add a font

_Angelus_, but libXrender is still ~0.9.4 so nothing has changed when you accept ~x86 ? or am i wrong?

how can i get gpm to auto madicly start on boot

rc-update add gp boot DavidProck1981

for past 2 days i was not able to boot my system. on debugging i found that it hangs while running ’setupcon’

rc-update add gpm boot DavidProck1981

what i did was , emerge –sync and then rm -r /usr/portage/distfiles/xorg-server-1.3.0.0.tar.bz2 and emerge –resume

*change the font of the terminal

hay is there any thing else like that , that i need to do

_Angelus_, if i understand the bug correctly that won’t help you if you accept ~x86

best google for this, and look for .Xdefaults or something similar

cool cool cheers mate

Poitiers is too far from Lille i guess for bying me a beer

*phew* i just remembered that the gentoo cd stops the fans in my laptop, i noticed the smell of warm components :] (some issue with ACPI…)

if you are going to mess with fonts you will love xfontsel

Hi. Can anyone quickly tell how I can determine all installed versions of a package with portage (all installed slots, like gentoo-sources). I’ve used this before with emerge… but can’t find the param

hi, i was testing something and emerged python 2.3, now i can’t install 2.4 without first completely removing 2.3. will that break my system?

-pv or -av or use equery

anyone know the package for printer drivers/support?

equery list

ok thx

cups?

what printer you are trying to install?

epson Stylus C66

For past 2 days i was not able to boot my system. on debugging i found that it hangs while running ’setupcon’

need gutenprint aind it aint in portage gimme a sec I’ll point you to a site

gutenprint works on other sysmte,s not this one lol

now i have booted with live cd, can anyone help me

kk I’ll just comile it

seems like the error didnt come out till now

compile*

ok , now it did

did you change anything that would affect booting? New kernel, etc?

hmm I’ve got a question, i’m attempting to install compiz-fusion from the xeffects overlay, i’ve installed the overlay i’ve configured make.conf, yet when i try to run emerge compiz-fusion i get the “no package/ebuild found” error. could someone suggest as to what I could’ve done wrong?

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_EPSON_CX3650_%26_DX3850 you’ll find it there

no. but there was a kernel upgrade last week but i remember booting after that

epson printers work great

did you install the new udev update?

_Angelus_, i think you need to mask the packages by hand (/etc/portage/package.mask)

does udev have anything to do with setupcon. i was able to figure out that it hangs here

there is a command to emerge a version of the package

hello all, updated to xorg-1.4-r1 now X will not start please help

_Angelus_, but that won’t help when you update world next time

drbombay, I assume you updated xorg-server. What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say?

maybe till that time the bug gets fixed

one sec

udev /can/ have somthing to do with that. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190994 — recent udev troubles that caused widespread weirdness

i figured it out by adding ‘log_action_begin/end_msg’ to /etc/init.d/keyboard-setup

Hello! Which chanbnel do I have to join to ask an mencoder related question?

Hello all. I’m trying to find which package to emerge to get the update-grub script/binary (whichever it is). esearch isn’t finding it, any ideas what package that is in? #mplayer

Are you sshed into this box, or present physically ?

present physically

nm NeddySeagoon I found the fix I think in the forums ))) http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-541988-highlight-kbd+error+emake.html for ppl that may have the same problem

present physically

Music^Hound, thank you

okay with all errors

Sry. ’s true, though, innit?

hi. does anyone know why cryptsetup now sets loop on /dev/ and not on /dev/mapper? that conflicts with fdisk also!

loki_val, lawl

we don’t mess things up! go to #ubuntu

loki_val, i still find the gentoo way of breaking things more logical then every other way

ok. thanks for your help. i already tried there but i could not get any help

boot__, install gentoo then we can hold your hand all you want

heh

That’s what I mean. We fuc^W muddle things up our own way, here.

i tried but i am scared.. may be too geeky

Yeah, it’s a bit intimidating. But if you have perseverance you will master the Zen of Gentoo.

hi. does anyone know why cryptsetup now sets loop on /dev/ and not on /dev/mapper? that conflicts with fdisk also! now they look “/dev/dm-1″ instead of “/dev/mapper/XXX”

yes but its better to know whats going on than hope Ubunto packagers know whats going on

prepare to waste a weeken — and just follow the handbook — you’ll be fine

bup

anyone have gmailfs working? mine kinda works, i can copy files into the filesystem but can’t read them once they’re there.. would be nice to compare versions with someone who has it fully working

so there is something in the midle that mess up with dmcrypt

you could remove the udev rules for /dev/dm-X

humm nice idea

well comment them but yeah

they make no sense

sure they do

they mess up fdisk and dmcrypt original loop is on /dev/mapper/xxx why to use symlink /dev/dm-x?

check the change log

so do u agree that must be fdisk to be updated?

they just symbolic link all /dev/mapper stuff to their dm devices for dm-crypt,lvm2 stuff. it should just work for you as it did for me when the changes were made.

it does work

yooo

i kinda felt that something is wrong when fdisk gets confused

how is it getting confused?

http://rafb.net/p/QMp7MY56.html they are not suposed to be listed only after the update that they start to be listed in there

that’s not a problem. and they always been listed for me. atleast with ~arch

not for me. always been perfect with fdisk

whats the @ code in asci with those % thing?

*device-mapper-1.02.22 (26 Aug 2007) Version bumped. Added patch for option info –export, and updated udev-rules to use these. That should solve bug #189404.

also, on http://rafb.net/p/7HXVZH59.html this never had “dm-X” but always “/dev/mapper/XXX”

well, just ignore it as it won’t conflict with anything.

humm ok

that’s because of the udev rules. it’s better this way.

should i ajust my fstab from /dev/mapper/xxx to /dev/dm-x?

emergeing gnome messed up my vid card driver and wont ever complete emerging

no you can keep them as normal. the symbolic link will handle the rest.

hi guys, where can i find a kde “complete” list of USE flags?

qwedsa, emerge apache 2.2.6

yeah marenz but that broke my whole config

2.2 upgrade did ALOOT of config changes.. so be ready to fix them all.

http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml

idd its broken now

you might want to see the changes in 2.2 before upgrading.

how do i do that? i have already upgraded i want to downgrade now

apache.org?

ok

them mask it. =www-servers/apache-2.2

http://gentoo-portage.com/ here

you can also set the Desktop profile which sets common USE flags for desktop users.

when I noticed that my apache wasn’t updating it’s log file yet was still running, i tried to restart it and got this weird error http://pastebin.ca/690687

and use euse -i USEFLAG; to see info on USE flags. emerge php

Is there any precedent for an emerge process to throw SIGALRM and exit completely? I think that’s what the “Alarm clock” message means.

I *have* php

actually you might want to emerge curl first.

tried emering curl first already. same problem

did you re-emerge php?

is there any overlay that has libdrm-2.3.1?

check gentoo sunrise

do you think that’s what I should do? it’s a big step as php takes a few hours on this slower machine

likewhoa, I think sunrise does not have it

check b.g.o

man on other distro apache is’nt such a hell

run revdep-rebuild

ok

makes me grazy

2.0 to 2.2 introduced alot of changes so deal with it. it’s not Gentoo’s fault.

how can I figure out what the best settings via hdparm are best for my hard drive? I have a regular IDE cable hooked up to it.

i’m sure 2.0 to 2.2 broke on others too. unless your config was hardly changed.
