euphor][a: xorg-server irc version 1.3 so the other one is better ?

tyler-wylie: check forums, I’ve seen that before.

hate trying to find it on links2 hehe

euphor][a: not irc

Guys, does gentoo keep irc logs/archives? because it is console? Try the framebuffer…

xorg-x11 is a meta package, xorg was split into several ebuilds, so just emerge xorg-x11 I guess it depends what irc client you use

euphor][a: oh now it get it.. then i unmerge

are there any guides to getting the pvr-150 to work on gentoo? the pvr500 guide is painfuly out of date

euphor][a: tnx

no need to unmerge anything

/msg NickServ IDENTIFY freenode

nice pass

emerging xorg-x11 will emerge around 150 packages which make up X, including xorg-server, just emerge xorg-x11 and you’re done

hey guys how do I troubleshoot poor sound quality?

/msg NickServ IDENTIFY freenode

space ftw

lol

remove the space at the beginning

and change your pass

no need no one wouls like to register krade

euphor][a: tnx alot

you’re welcome

you changed the pass anyway, so much for ghosting

lol

whats a good place to get docs? gentoo.org and gentoo-wiki.com are both painfuly out of date

/msg NickServ HELP REGISTER

lol there is no space/ its just /

i know i have trouble with my mouse copy past

hi i am in a livecd env. and i wish to get my wireless running. but it seems i need ndishwrapper to get it working. and emerge doesnt seem to list it. how can i find it and or install it

if those are outdated you have a problem best to write the docs yourself and provide updates to others

im not confident enough in my solutions to provide them to others but the pvr500 docs, ati docs, even the xorg-x11 docs are out of date there used to be a simple v4l guide but i cant seam to find it

wireless on the livecd is… next to impossible. either stay on wired, or use a different livecd.

different livecd… blah i dont have a clean cd left and this one is a old copy. 2006

ssorg almost any wireless will work without ndiswrapper nowdays once you get the base install done + download the firmware for your card

tdr, surely i can hack something together to get it without a base install

how can I get amarok to play .m4a files?

ssorg you’ll have to find kernel modules compiled for the kernel on your livecd tho

tdr, its a bcm43xx which is there but its old i think and doesnt have the right stuff

|alexwait|, mp4 flag

tdr, its suppose to be included in the linux kernel from 2.6.17-rc7 7 UTC 2006 x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-32

ssorg if it was built with your kernel + you you still need the firmware

ok how can i get the firmware on the livecd

ssorg, you can copy firmware to /lib/firmware

tdr, and where can i find those

hi, i’m having problems running compiz.. can anyone help? http://pastebin.com/m281eee68

hello. if I create a ntfs partition with gparted, will it be the same as If I created it via windows? or is it preferable to create the partition with windows?

sigh, still solving the expat issue…

mx-zoom the partition type wil be the same, sure. you still need to format it tho, and parted doesn’t do that. you can do the format in linux web hosting tho if you have the write packages

Has anyone here installed psybnc from portage ?

my question is. will it be the same as windows? if I do have the necessary write packages?

the 32mb boot partition is necessary?

whoa all my text in control center was just bolded

mx-zoom windows will read it sure. the only thing you need to watch (if it applies, which is if you are in a windows domain) is security labels lose context

valemon, boot partitions are not necessary, no

any ideas why? What did I press?

ok. thanks

although if you have none, might want to play safe and have your root partition as the first one

so just define a swap and /

valemon, if you have that few partitions, you might as well have the boot one it won’t hurt and it’s nice if you want to have it so that it’s not mounted when the system is online

hey would it matter if I was to use distcc to compile with a sempron64, and core 2 duo with different march flags? on each system?

I want to make a triple boot

ah valemon, well, if you really want to save on partitions, it’s technically possible to set up linux with one partition using a swap file

i just updated everything and it looks like i now have two versions of python installed, the old and the newer one.

but only do that if absolutely necessary, it might have performance issues…

can i remove the old one?

I am not really a geek so keep it simple

only if you verify that nothing is using the old one first.

Skunky, i suppose its equery time then. thanks.

Will I be ok without the boot partition? also this boot partition contains /boot?

valemon, the setup without boot partition means /boot will be inside root

/boot isn’t required, just suggested. as as nanonyme said, you only NEED 1 partition.

no problem then

guys this is weird. now when I close an app and start it back up allthe text is bold

how do i get vixie cron to run, i dont see anything about crond in ps -A

it’s just cron, not crond

Phocion, rc-update add vixie-cron default && /etc/init.d/vixie-cron start

well nothing about ‘cron’ is running, and vixie-cron was already added with rc-update on install i did the rc-update a long time ago, so should it already be running?

phooka grep cron /var/log/messages

1 gibson cron[4938]: (CRON) STARTUP odd.

ps aux |grep cron 0 grep –colour=auto

phooka, /etc/init.d/vixie-cron status

stopped thats freaky

phooka, start it

It should have started on startup

guys I do really need help

phooka, then check the status again .. it could be it doens’t start corectly

for some reason all my fonts are gay

when i started it just now, no errors

|alexwait|, you’re going to have to decribe your problem a lot better than just |gay” phooka status shows started now ?

for some reason all of a sudden all my fonts are boldened even though I checked the Control Center and ther weren’t

they demand equal rights

yup

lol

phooka check rc-status

but it’s super obnoxious

phooka strace /etc/init.d/vixie-cron start

loneradm, he’d have to install strace for that

lemme emerge strace

I switched from 32bit to 64bit and now I can’t mount my loop-aes encrypted devices. Are the gpg-keys not compatible?

for some reason sshd doesnt start at startup either weird

sorry back now everything looked fine…. and my sound is gone lol so many problems

phooka check your etc-update

gotta reboot brb

|alexwait| yes it can

How do I configure networking so that I have one NIC that both DHCPs and has a static IP address?

/var/log/tcp.log” in crontab try to MAIL the info to me?

I compiled amarok with the mp4 use flag but it still says decoder not found

I have been looking through the Gentoo Network documentation, but I can not find anything that helps me out with this.

kk check use flags of xine-lib equery u xine-libs

you could probably set up dhcp normally and then do aliasing to make the 2nd one a staic, its got examples in the net.example

this files were imported from a legit cd in itunes under OS X

sorry xine-lib

[R]: Ok, I’ll check out aliasing.

equery u xine-lib see if aac is enabled for xine-lib if not reemerge xine-lib with aac use flag

what flag am I looking for?

aac

what package is tkinter in?

thanks

alexwait was it enabled?

no it wasn’t

radio back be sure to reload amarok so it pulls the updated xine-lib

probably tk myabe tcl

I will ^_^ thanks again

let me know

“equery b tkinter” didn’t find it? that’s wierd

just with having ssh installed in a machine, i can access it remotely? cause im having some trouble to do that…

btw the mp4 flag in amaok allows you to write to the id3 tags of mp4 files

maybe that only searches things I have installed

you need to check your router’s port forwarding chiiph

thats because it only works if its installed

:-/

how do i do that?

ssh runs on port 22 so you need to make sure that port 22 is forewarded to the proper dedicated ip hosting address of the machine that you are wanted to control what is your router ip address? your default gateway

[R]: Thanks, that seems to work. I was using two config_eth0 lines, as opposed to one line with two quoted preferences in parens.

hello all, i’m having a problem with my gensplash (i think), is this the correct channel to ask in?

text based

the installer is crap don’t use it

yeah your friend needs to have the proper port forwarded in his router

it worked thanks

it is bad righr

your welcome

ok… so, how do i do that?

that you guys for putting the kernel image and modules in a place where they can be copied off the livecd!!!! i jsut had to use the grub option i put on my server for using the livecd kernel. box died, but I’m transplaning the hdd.

if i changed my athlon 64 over to and athlon 64 x2 and thats the only change i made, would i have to make any changes to my gentoo install to begin taking advantage of the second core?

what router does your friend have?

the gui is just not good enough… the minimal cd is les trouble

should I open a terminal and follow the hamdbook?

you need to enable SMP in the kernel of course

IMHO, i’m going to start thinking of it as “safe-mode for linux”

valemon, ctrl+alt+f2

[R], good point

if you need more terminals, f1-f6 are terminals… f7 on has more to do with X

why do this? I mean the gui terminal is not ok ?

hey i emerged apsell and the enlgish but no openoffice spell check?

package X provides file Y. file Y is deleted. is there a way to restore that file without reinstalling the whole package?

thats because as i told you like 5 hours ago… its myspell, not aspell

any idea why powertop is only showing states C0-C3 on my laptop? i have heard there is supposed to be a C4

valemon, good point

don-o: you want to restore it from magical fairy dust?

[R], i was high? jk how do i emerge myspell

either one works

the same way you emerge anything else

huawei smartAX mt882

idk wat its called

[R]: that, or the leftover build tree

searchign for myspell would be a good idea then

http://azureuswiki.com/index.php/Port_forwarding

/var/log/ssh.log” works just fine….

don-o: that gets cleaned up after its being done copmiling

he needs to go into his router administration page and forward port 22 to the ip address that you want to control

[R]: usually gets cleaned up. just found what i was looking for. thx.

ok, than x

It’s not possible to append free diskspace to a partition allready in use, is it ?

well if you have free space at the end of a partition, you can just extend it if not, no thats what lvm is for

Does anyone sue root-tail

but you cant use lvm if you already have your partition

I have a disk partitioned in three… two of em aren’t in use, and Im running out of space on the first one .. I’d like to append the two others. But guess that can’t be done then :-\

so delete the others, and enlarge the main one

That won’t affect the data allready on the disk? (I’ve mounted /usr on it)

what?

is there a problem with the new xorg?

nope, works fine here

it’s complaining about my xorg.conf ..

OK, I’ll explain once more. I have /dev/hda1,2 and 3, and I have /dev/hdb1,2 and 3. hda is my system disk. However, hda is pretty small, so I took hdb1, and mounted /usr on that instead, to save some space on hda. If I resize hdb1, will that affect the data allready on there? If not, how do I resize it ?

ma7ybe you syould fix it then

[R]: good idea… but it worked like a jewel before…

parted can d oti dnno what to tell you

[R], without affecting the data allready on there?

of course

[R], using ext2resize … do I have to unmount the partition? Do you know ?

Hi, when i log into certain users on my system through gdm, instead of going into the gnome session, it goes back to the gdm login.. why ?

antyhign in ~/.xsession-errors

[R], theres 4 lines, but it looks like success messages

does it work w/o gdm?

[R]: yea

weird

startx works, but logging in through gdm, goes back to the login screen

did you setup a session with gdm?

yea

so you bootup and gdm starts, and you login and gdm dies? and sends you back to console

the new xorg can’t find my touchpad, can’t find my mouse, can’t find my radeon module. Anyone has any idea?

logging in root through gdm to gnome worked, but when i tried su - wilson within root, i can’t log into root anymore, gnome just closes and goes back to gdm

don’t use the newest

yea.. theres no one “active” in there :/

well.. google the exact error and wait i guess

mv your .gnome dir out of the way, and try to log in?

you know when you have a kernel config option specified like this - #CONFIG_PCI variables how do you go about setting that option, I am only familiar with menuconfig.

you can use menuconfig to do it (there is a search option). or edit the .config file and replace the line with something like CONFIG_PCI=y

don’t edit .config yourself, menuconfig, hit / to search if you can’t find it.

using menuconfig is easier, since it will take care of the various things to change to keep .config valid

is anyone here familiar with apache in gentoo?

hi all, how to solve masked packages problem during building of custom livecd with catalyst?

[R], yeah, tried there. s’just rather dead. I just need to rebuild the modules. but im not sure if that means i need to rebuild apache, or if the modules are another package./

what module

PHP

so then remerge php

[R], ill give that a go then, thanks.

[R]: I was tryin’g to use that, putting this on the top of the script, but when launching, it uses the same libs

dunno waht you are doing, but if that variable is set, it will use libs from those locationsfirst

where do i find nameservers

at your ISP

Trippen, use OpenDNS

how can i see what they are..

usually dhcp sets them

yea i am using dhcp .. but its failing to resolve at least thats what im getting from what Skunky is saying

it’s not his work to decide that

hello, i’m having white screen problems when running compiz.. i get the error ‘couldn’t bind redirected window..’ when running compiz. tried the solution on the wiki but still no luck. can anyone help?

I think it is a 5A circuit. There are 4 disks in each computer, and 1.0 GHz CPUs, so I’m guessing it will eat up a lot of power…

safe P3s can use less than 30W disk power can vary in a factor of 1:3

I don’t know much about electrical wiring. How many watts is a 5 amp 120 volt home circuit?

my room has 2×16A; fuse blows only when I switch on my 3 servers at the same time, and put winter heater on the same fuse as comps; when I take care to put heater on the other fuse, I never have probs 5A 120V ? that must be USA … 120*5=600

OK so amps x voltage = watts?

in France, light circuit is 10A 220 just enought for a 2000W vacuum

and yes, it is in US

on paper, yes; but, compuer current is very special

P=U*I only for DC S=U*I for AC

you would ideally want a descent UPS on an isolated 20 amp 120 volt circuit powering those units

AC/DC Guns’n'Roses

the supply current, like 250w, or 350W for ATX is an average max; practical power is usually less; my bos has 350W power, and use only 120W; still, at power on, there is a 12A peak … for half a second ?…

those are the HD’s spinning up Motors that wind up need a lot more power

twice more expensive in copper !!!

The guy had some UPS’s for sale too. Maybe I’ll pick one up. And you are saying to just stagger the poweron to avoid spiking?

that should help certainly on boxes with lots of HDs

in practice, my “350W” computer only uses around 0.6A …

anybody know a good way to extract the kernel version from a vmlinuz without booting it?

rdev ? less ? hexdump ?

There are 20 or so disks for the whole setup, as well as 10 CPU’s

strings vmlinuz | less was a no go. whats rdev?

P3 can use down to 7W; Alpha can use up to 200W per CPU … (not counting chipset)

Just use cpufreqd to control power?

it will depend if it’s Xeon, mobile, D, 64b, cache size (cache induce power consumption), chipset speed …

Pentium III 1.0 ghz

what has cpufreq to do with this ?

Isn’t that how to control cpu power usage?

Time to reinstall gentoo, for 32 bit on a core2duo can I use nocona?

P3 800 mobile uses 7W; P3 server can use up to 120W just for the CPU, when my AMD 1.4G, including chipset, 4 video cards, and 3 disks, use 120W in the box

How do I specify a specific set of CFLAGS for a certain package?

wow

something like /etc/portage/package.use …

CFLAGS, not USE flags

How about a 7200 RPM SCSI hard drive as far as power usage?

changing overcommit_memory to 2 (don’t overcommit), made it much better!

I came across this site today, figured I would share seeing as we’re on the power topic, http://www.lesswatts.org/

there are scripts and a bashrc file… look for it in the wiki

cpufreq is a mobile utilituy for CPU with frequency scaling; Intel promised this to be ported to desktop in 2000 for 2003; it’s still not implemented in any desktop (more than 4y late )

Gotcha, didn’t realize it was just for mobiles (all I’ve had is laptops until now)

OK

so to enable smp i have to customize my own kernel?

or this: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-499881.html

OK.

it has been promised for 2003 for desktops ! Intel is just late in roadmap

Well if not with cpufreqd, how do I control power usage?

bed*

AMD neve dared promising such things they focus on computation power; Intel promised this to get friends around Greenpeace, save power, birds, tree, CO2 … probably ll never do it

anyone know what happened to the xgl package?

would having touchpad and the mouse at the same time do it?

probably a better question to ask in #gentoo-xeffects

once when i worked as a roughneck in the oil field there was a particularly nice rig i was working on that was Diesel Electic like freight trains are and it had a doghouse with all the computer equipment in it and it had some serious air conditioning in it, kept it real cool in it

depends on the driver; bad touchpad driver can cause anything. Bad USB also can … except that, touchpad is unlikely to cause freese I had freeses on laptop; it was not mouse problem.

maybe I’ll disable my touchpad

any othe idea’s

rather change driver; I dont think it will fix

ah man that’s ok I don’t use it anyway I guess just commenting it out in my xorg.conf should help huh?

do as you want; I dont think it’s it. on a laptop, how hot is your CPU ?

how can I check?

acpi -V, or sensors, depends on your conf mbm and motherboard-monitor have also been ported from Windows

i would be too scared to do gentoo on a laptop, all that emerging would create a lot of heat, i would rather install slackware on it & be done with it

works fine here

what program should I emerge?

Hi gang.

 

Cheap phpbb website hosting

 

|alexwait|, for what?

acpi sensors, esearch is your friend. I use gkrellm as GUI. Take good care about flags

eix, use eix

try cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature

if CPU is over 80 degrees, it may be an issue; less than 50, it cant be the problem. If you add a RAM stick, it may be damaged (added ones are often a problem, especially cheap ones; also check your HDD status (smartmonctl). If your laptop is over 3y, it’s likely a HW problem.

no such file or dir my macbook is about 14 months old

Gotta new box. 5 scsi drives. came with ubuntu installed in 1st partition of one of the scsi drives. All partitions are identified by UUID. Installed gentoo on the 5th partition . Used the same UUID in grub.conf, but the newly built gentoo kernel isn’t buying it. Instead it suggests sda5, which would be ok, except drives tend to move around a bit. (so I’m told… Its not Like I’m swapping them in or out.)

my laptop have been my most powerfull box for 2y (until it dies). Even at compile time, I kept my CPU around 65 deg. At the same time, idle desktop was at 55deg.

So why won’t the kernel pick up the drive using the UUID from grub. (ubuntu does…)

ok, when new, my laptop came up to 92 deg; but I removed the blue slice between CPU and heat sink, and gained nearly 20deg

trying to use serial console, but I see nothing after grub says, Starting up …

because you did not ask him to ?

you know they put that stuff in there for a reason, doublehp_

well I thought I did. kernel /kernel-2.6.22-gentoo-r5 root=UUID=0b657ecb-3a53-408d-8555-c04

anyone having problems updating gcalctool and gnome-media? seems its broken

ah, mac … I dont know macs. They have specific problems I am not aware. My XP is on x86; my XP is unlikely to be revealant for you.

not sure what this question mark is for. http://dpaste.com/20477/

word wrap got me

it’s because I know those reasons I remove it !!!

kernel /kernel-2.6.22-gentoo-r5 root=UUID=0b657ecb-3a53-408d-8555-c04b040e6e34

thermal paste?

Anyone tried liquid nails?

I don’t see acpi sensors

I sometime put paste in place; but, blue slices are VERY BAD

perhaps have a look at gentoo-ppc related channels

i think it was one of ubuntu’s biggest blunder was when they implemented that UUID systemwide in fstab and grub

#gentoo seems to be a pool of well-intentioned misdirection

yeah, i would imagine thermal paste is better

doublehp, kernel is a she…

blue slices have been designed to replace ICA, not silicon. Computers should use silicon; using blue slices in computing is a VERY BAD IDEA; they do it because it’s faster and cleaner ublue slices have been designed to replace ICA, not silicon.

Wensleydale?

cheese shop sketch? /obscure-joke

so what I do emerge to check my cpu and HD temps?

Wallace’s favorite. Actually saw some at a farm stand in Littleton, Ma.

hdtemp

MICA or plastic, slices have fixed thickness; paste is compressable, thus, heat sink can be way closer to pad than using slices. The advantage of slices is to provide voltage isolation, what os NOT required in computing. It’s required for TV, 220V switching … not computers

and maybe lmsensors for cpu

I said acpi, hddtemp smartmonctl, sensors …

I got ksensor which brought that in and everything worked it seems but I do not see the temp

your distro have a documentation, with a section dedicated to mobile computing, with revealant peaces of advice

i think the most voltage in a motherboard is 12V DC

Pig_pen, right now its causing me fits, but I’d rather grok the change than complain.

gkrellm is a fronthead for those? Nicely selected flags will help a lot.

doublehp_: Seriously, take it to /msg or one of the hardware channels on freenode. #gentoo is not ##hardware.

my desktop have 5 heat sensors; laptops have even more …

ok, astinus, i be quiet

are you 200% sure your ksersor monitors them all ? it’s 20mn I am waiting for people to help me at Xorg; so, as long as xorg s broken, I have time to loose.

lose it elsewhere

I v nothing else to do.

and I told you #gentoo needs to stay on topic. Join ##otw or #gentoo-chat if you want to banter.

I’m trying to update MythTV to 0.20.2, but having issues.. system is AMD64, when it compiles, it seems to pick up the x86_64 gcc, but it picks up the i686 ld… anyone have any pointers?

If I was to set xdm to run at startup, would that make it more difficult (impossible) to run keychain? or would I just have to make sure that keychain wasn’t trying to automatically load password protected keys

anyone built gcalctool-5.9.14 successfully?

probably a bad kernel… no support for scsi controller.

Man, the wiki page on installing 3rd party ebuilds is not proving to be helpful at all. I’ve downloaded an ebuild file from kde-apps.org but I can’t figure out how to emerge it. Can anybody tell me how I’d do this?

faq wiki

Wikis can be edited by anyone, including the uninformed and malicious. http://www.gentoo-wiki.com is a great resource, but is not endorsed or supported by us so we may ask you to go read the official documentation. (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml) (deface is usually online and can be poked for help if the wiki goes down)

Yes, thank you, got it. -.-

initrd required; setting it up takes hours to configure. Likely not a kernel problem

So, how does one emerge from a local ebuild file?

Does ircii support unicode?

does emerge kde include at least some kde apps?

knowing kde many apps

depends on your USE flags

That should get you a “full, ready to use KDE computer!”

k

try asking #irssi too

Can anybody tell me how to emerge from an ebuild file I have downloaded?

so, anyone having problems updating gnome packages? I seem alone here

ok.. unmerging cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/(binutils/gcc), I was able to get MythTV to compile.. anyone know why it would default to the cross-compiling stuff?

you shall emerge it with the absolute path

!mzbot local portage

It doesn’t want to do that. I assume you mean “emerge ‘/home/james/thefile.ebuild’”

don’t emerge with absolute path, put it in a portage overlay !mzbot portage overlay

euphor][a: Aha! that’s what the wiki said to do! And I’ve tried to make a local overlay for myself, but it doesn’t like that!

Is there a way to find prebuilt package for gentoo to install without compile them?

hi everyone

y. try without any quote _’_ may be the trouble

you need to define an overlay in /etc/make.conf (look for a line that says /usr/local/portage) essentially it will need to go in /usr/local/portage/foo-bar/foo.ebuild, then portage will pick it up

but … pasting the REAL error message would be VERY MUCH helpfull ! “my cat is ill” is not really informative; but “my cat vomits blue liquids” is way more precise.

guys, can i play .3gp files in mplayer? (and if i can, what should i do to make mplayer able to play that format)

y

euphor][a: Oh, I see. I added an extra several steps it seems. I made a PORTDIR_OVERLAY=”/usr/local/portage/james” and made the directory there and… lol, I made a mountain out of a molehill.

euphor][a, can one use an overlay to install things the old fasion way ./configure make make install?

emerge -vp mplayer; see the flags, add the right ones, recompile

doublehp_, hints?

ALWAYS emerge -v, and ALWAYS euse -i on all of them then: emerge -DaNuv world

amrwb and amrn?

compiling apps manually isn’t advised, it is best to create an ebuild — doing it manually doesn’t require an overlay, simply extract, compile, install

i would think if mplay can’t play it, give up system bogged down, cany’t type right, bbl

euphor][a, I was trying to avoid writing ebuil without messing with portage tree

you have quite a lot options activated there

what I must install so konqueror display images preview?

use an overlay..

my mplayer can play almost anything I have read euse -i for 99% FLAGS of Gentoo

doublehp_, i can see why now

is it possible to select extended 3dnow via make.conf, in the same manner as sse? (mfpmath=ssemfpmath=3dnowext)

creating an ebuild isn’t too cumbersome, and won’t mess up portage, you can safely test ebuilds using an overlay

even for the ones that seem to be meaningfull; it happened their meaning was not what I thought. y man gcc

j http://blog.chris.de/archives/22_Nokias_3gp_Files.html even — Google is your friend

in fact konqueror was displaying previews before, then I changed the max file size to 2.5Mb. and it stopped.. notice, this folders with images were displayed on Slackware. and my ~/.kde is also from slackware.

wilymage_, i reemerge now, and if doesn’t work, i’ll try your solution, ok?

search doublehp in Google.video; in the comment of the most stupid video, you will find the commands to export 3gp

whatever you think

euphor][a, are they prebuilt package avaible for package listed in portage?

does anyone know a possibility to mute/increase/decrease the sound volume in a terminal? it has to be a command so i can map it to a key

doublehp_,

alsamiwer

alsamixer is interactive

doublehp_, alsamixer

and N ?

some packages offer -bin options, such as firefox-bin, these are pre-built binaries

for the konqueror issue, you might have better results in #gentoo-desktop or #kde

N?

Fieldy, hum.. thanks

alsamiwer works in a terminal, and it is what you asked for

use amixer, like amixer set Master mute that’s command line, as opposed to alsamixer, which is ncurses-based

exactly

File Type Major Brand: 3GPP Profile 4 avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dl

still: works in a terminal wilymage want non interactiev ? “amixer -c ${ALSA_DEVICE} set Master 3%+”

thanks

thats the script binded to some button on my IR remote in your case, the variable may be 0 or 1; in any canse, man alsamiwer helps

man I love compiz-fusion, wish it wasn’t so crashtastic, though…

very stable here

wilymage alsamixer have “optionnal” ncurses !!! *optionnal* if possible.

doublehp_, i have read the manual, but it lists only sseversions and 387. that seems daft, so i asked

nope, alsamixer is ncurses-only, I’m sure

viva le francais

sorry, you are right; even the script I pasted says u’r right zarro bug found in BTS on my problem

Is there any easy way of seeing where a blocked package requirement comes from?

Do I need to re-install my printer’s drivers if I’ve installed a new kernel?

Joker_-_: doubtful

why wouldnt my printer work anymore then?

Joker_-_: are(nt drivers in the kernel ?*

wut?

Anybody? I’ve been away from this install for some time, and an emerge -NuDav world gives a bunch of blocked packages that I cna’t figure out.

nah it’s an ml-1610 so it uses the samsung’s drivers do you think I’d have to re-install the drivers6

Joker_-_: I believe you do. I know I need to, using nvidia’s closed-source drivers.

output

yeah… makes half-sence lol

You’ll need to emerge -C x, where x are the blocking packages

worth a shot I’ll be back for updates

Yes

pretty accurate, thx. I’ll be back

what’s the X framebuffer driver called?

I just emerged vmware-player and get the following error when trying to start it. Any suggestions? http://rafb.net/p/ZtZDjo19.html

Joker_-_: to my first question, then, you anwer should have been “no”

??

try an env-update and ldconfig first

there are 3 ones

what’s the difference doublehp? *doublehp_

I see only two overlays in layman, is this normal?

xdirectfb, fbdev, aalib, libcaca , console-vga …

which one would you recommend, fbdev?

aalib

aalib is cool

ok

or libcaca

the way to access FB, and features supported in. One of them “only” support 3D accel

same error

but I think aalib renders better

if someone tries a brute-force attempt to break ssh passwords, can i see that they tried anywhere in a log? does ssh block that ip by default (no iptables)? do i need to ask ssh to log such information?

Hi folkes

thanks

the vga ways use FB emulation, so, work even on cards not supporting FB

ok

if emerge gets everything from source and compiles on the computer - wouldn’t it work perfectly with out distros? such as slackware?

depends on your card, and what you want

[1] depends on how you’ve configured syslog-ng or such; [2] not unless you have a script to do so [3] see 1

my card is whatever parallels emulates thus I’d imagine a framebuffer driver would be my best bet

in practice, the nicest ones are directfb and fbdev, cause the rendering is pixel oriented; vga and aa* are character oriented

ok

http://pastebin.com/d612be4ea

directfb uses FB acceleration; fbdev relies on the FB capabilities of the kernel

ok sounds good, I’ll give those a try

Anyone?

hi how do i install a graphics driver that’s not included on the live disk?

things like directfb do not use Xorg/Xfree at all; so, depending on what you want, the way to proceed may not be what you are used to. Xdirectfb embeddeds it’s own graphic engine.

skacjware us a great distro, i used it for years & years

I just emerged vmware-player and get the following error when trying to start it. Any suggestions? http://rafb.net/p/ZtZDjo19.html

. desktop tuto on the Gentoo site should help

Hm. Thanks anyway, wilymage. I’ll have to deal with this later.

did you read the compleet install tutos ?

i read most of it

if you need it in the live CD, it’s likely not possible. If it’s installed system, you just need to add a FLAG to make.conf

I am getting a huge number of segmentation faults all over the place on my new system.

dead RAM stick ?

hello world

start by checking the ram, boot the install/live cd, at the boot: prompt type memtest and let it run at least 6 hours (preferrably mor)

I ran a full memtest86+ and it found no problems.

hallo Klaus

how long did you run it?

broken CPU cache, or heat sink fallen away. Also think of under clocking CPU.

A full test took 1.5 hours. I ran CPU-BURN-in also.

I am having issues with vmware player. I have a multilib system and when trying to start vmplayer I get: /opt/vmware/player/lib/bin/libcrypto.so.0.9.7: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

mem test never found any problem on my machines, still, removing some stick often fixed faults for me

I also ran Seagate Disk diagnostic.

I’ve added the haskell overlay with layman and I have the source line in my make.conf, but I’m still not able to install packages from that overlay

../lib32/ld-linux.so.2

Could it be something else?

and eix returns nothing on searches for it

let it run for at least 6 hours, ram problems often do not show up in 1.5 hours

Could I have some misconfiguration that would make all these segmentation faults?

memtest and similar app are doing idealised tests; Kernel loads driver to use advanced functions of memory, like bursts, ECC, PCI burst, MMU, TLBs …

Ok, let’s suppose that is true. Then why am I easily able to get segmentation faults consistently when trying to do anything under Gentoo, but can’t get a signle memory error in 1.5 hours? Oh.

Renfield, memory errors manifest themselves in strange and wonderful ways.

remove stick one by one; no; use box with only one stick at a time: imagine, if you have 4 sticks, and 2 are broken …

in short, give memtest a lot more time

I suspect it is not a hardware issue. I think it might be something like the binaries are linking to the wrong libraries.

what are you doing when you get the segfaults? this could be a heat/overclocking problem

Is that possible?

proper cooling (and over clocking) and dead RAM have been the source of my fault problems. Rarely, I saw broken GCC, badly compiled kernel …

segmentation errors often are hardware issues

I guess you guys are anti-everything-that-is-not-gentoo

why would you say that?

to compile Linux, and libc, use the exact GCC ver recommended

read above :’(

Yes I know that segmentation faults are often hardware issues. I have had bad hardware from such, which is why I ran the full suite of tests. I’m not overclocking, Using adequate cooling.

can’t cleared my screen. but if someone is being crude or bashing you for non-gentoo stuff (asking people to take OT / non-gentoo stuff is commen here, politely), let me know

Hi… I would need some help trying to install Gnome 2.20, installation stops at gtkmm, this is the emerge error http://pastebin.ca/708606 . If anyone can take a look I would be happy.

is anyone here running vmware on an amd64 system?

no offense but multiple people have basically said you need to run memtest longer. so start there.

hay all emerge rtl818x-svn

Fieldy, no, it’s gentoo related, I was wondering if it is safe to install emerge on slackware, since it compiles everything from source and all.

and the father.lugmen.org.ar is down. why is that is there any other place I could download this

ah. not something i know about, and something which would be difficult to find any support for, sorry

Oh

Ok…

even on dead HW, tests never found any problem. In one case, I had boken CPU cache; no test could find it; I just matched it by readin CAREFULLY /proc/cpuinfo. x86 do very fast tests; this kind of bug can not happen on arch like Alpha, where every single transistor is tested at boot time. Those random bugs are the reverse of the coin of “quick design” arch like x86

so you’ve never heard of anyone that’s installed emerge on something other than gentoo?

see #gentoo-alt Prefixed Portage. I’ve run it on OSX.

I prooved that some 512M SDRAM was dead; memtest for 18h did not find any problem.

digital0001, what’s your GTK+ version?

This is just an old P3 733 mhz.

the most fun are when it’s a power supply outputting dirty (not-well-filtered) power, or if it’s overloaded don’t cheap out on psus.

never had that yet, neither me nor any friend (yet)

well if someone would please help me I wouldn’t have to keep asking

ask once per 6h max; if no answer, shut up

6hours??? that’s crazy

0.o

I dislike the elitist attitude that exists in this gentoo community

when I am very patient, and asked every 2h, people saw it, and said me bad remarks … even every 2h they said I was ennoying

he’s not serious. repeating once every 5 minutes or so is ok

see http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm problem #3

6h is the limit when people forget questions, or users just go away

your cmment is completely unhelpful

please stop telling him that, as it’s not true

so what do you do?

sorry about them, they are not right.

I am; happened to me here last year to get bad remarks cause asking every 2h

ok. but that was a year ago relax.

too many elitist…

there’s only 2 people here giving you unhelpful comments, is there someone i’m missing?

you guys do realise that you were new to gentoo at one point too right?

hey

if no error reported by user app, dmesg, alsamixer, and cables connected and amplifier working (tested on alternate source), I give up.

I don’t understand why Xorg is calling inet6?

turn off the use flag if you don’t intend to use it

hexstar, do you have tcpipv6 compiled for you kernel, and have you tried the -ipv6 useflag if you dont want/need it?

yes I believe I have tcpipv6 compiled for the kernel

hexstar, ok, but grep your conf to be sure. also, do you realy use it?

no I don’t have the -ipv6 useflag, should I add it and reinstall xorg?

hey guys, I know the convention for the swap partition is usually 2x the amount of ram you have, does still apply when you have something like 8Gigs of ram, would I still need a 16gb swap partition?

can anybody find the ACPI page where it tells you what you need in your kernel?

hexstar, if not, i suggest removing it and setting the -use

depends on your applications and a lot of things

what has httpd been renamed to? or do i just have to unmask and use httpd?

hexstar, just adding -ipv6 to make.conf and running emerge -uDN world should suffice

ok thanks

should just be apache or lighttpd

dumb terminal, no X, probably some number crunching using linpack for performance testing, at least for now

FIeldy, what should?

please guys I can’t find the page

what page?

a page about ACPI that tells you what to include in your kernel and what to emerg e and my history on FF is being gay

? acpi ? power howto

I just did a bunch of libexpat fixing and a revdep-rebuild that rebuilt most of kde-base. I’m trying to run krfb but I get error messages about “kio (KSycoca)” finding wrong versions of unspecifed things and “kcmshell (kdelibs)” unable to find a module called kcmkrfb. My question is, should I try to fix this before restarting kde? Or will restarting likely BE the fix?

not what I’m looking for

emerge -uDN doesn’t work, it doesn’t like those parameters

Anyone have errors building fontconfig? When i emerge it it fails with “(no error message)”.

it was a short page

hexstar, emerge -uDN world

thanks

hexstar, and please use -p the first time round…

umm, so i just need the JAVA use flag for firefox java ??

god. wtf did that page go?!

so emerge -puDN world?
