Pig_Pen, well I don’t see why someone would still want a 2.4 system today except for a missing driver or something

what’s /var/log/Xorg.0.log say? you read the msg that says you need to recompile all the xf86 drivers because the ABI changed right?

what i was lookin for was package.keywords lol

it is segfaulting immediately after loading the mouse driver.

anyhow back to work!

I had that problem too

Kaffien, glad you found it then ^^

emerge xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-evdev

evdev… okay,

might as well move back up to 7.3

i used slackware for years and i am going to miss that old 2.4.xx kernel, kind of like saying goodbye to an old friend for the last time

I did re-emerge the mouse driver earlier, still doesn’t run. this is the most horribly botched update since gnucash2. that and the fact that texmacs has been broken for 8 months now… what do I do next?

Sorry to hear, but this isn’t the complaints dept. Erm, which problem do you want to solve first?

I need access to my e-mail. I’m trying to get a job because I was laid off last week and instead had to spend the entire day today fixing my computer. =|

u sure are rtl8187 drivers in 2.6.23 ??? cant find em

…

I need some help setting up my rc.conf

Could you be specifc? +i

omp!

Do I need to setup the XSESSION if I’m using Xserver

OctZ!

Only if you use xdm, and then you’d use /etc/conf.d/xdm to set the session manager.

are you stalking me? :p

SO I can leave the XSESSION commented?

what do I need to do next to get X11 running on my computer?

Oh sorry, I was thinking of setting the display manager…

Searching in eix for murmur reveals a masked edition of murmur-1.0.0 but when trying to do a emerge =media-sound/murmur-1.0.0 I’m being told that there’s no ebuild which satisfies this. What can cause this?

XSESSION only sets the default, so yes, you don’t need to set it if you have an ~/.xinitrc, for instance.

rej thank you

/etc/rc.conf is quite verbose on the subject of zetting XSESSION, though.

AlonzoTG, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml

*setting

This copy of gentoo was installed in the summer of 2004, X was worknig as of yesterday evening. today it wouldn’t load, — update had killed it. the faq on the bot was not enough to fix my problem.

You will probably need to create a new xorg.conf.

What do you expect me to do to run X again?

AlonzoTG, sorry I didn’t see your previous messages

i created a raid , with sda and sdb, both partitioned the same, i brought them together so that md1 md2 and md3 were acording ,to the basic parition layout, boot swap root, with raid 1 boot and root, and raid 0 for swap, now i can’t configure grub at the end, what did i maybe do wrong?

i just replaced my cpu, new and better AMD 6000 now when i am compiling stuff say kernel for example

dual Athlon MPs,

It might also help to figure out why X does not discover your mouse.

it fails randomly

It SEGFAULTS immediately after loading the mouse driver.

any ideas why?

What does the Xorg log file say?

AlonzoTG, you’re using the 1.2.0 mouse driver right? And you recompiled it after the last time you upgraded/downgraded xorg?

it also kinda paniced while i was trying to compile gcc

is xorg.config in the mouse section pointing to the correct device in /dev ???

enabled data reporting: succeeded,

That shouldn’t cause a segfault Pig_Pen

SEGFAULT!!!

What mouse driver do you use? How is the mouse connected to your computer (USB, PS/2, …)?

that’s what xorg.log sez. PS/2. Protocol = “ExlprorerPS/2″ This mouse is DOS compatable, for god’s sake.

any of you happen to have a Dell XPS M1330 running Gentoo yet?

I ran Gentoo on a dual quad-core xeon server built by Dell. =P

AlonzoTG, if you run “X -configure”, does it crash? (Quick way to see if its your xorg.conf screwing up)

good idea, lemme check.

you sure you spelled the protocol right?

do i want to set -march in my make.conf when im usinng a dual xeon cpu?

Kaffien, -march just tells gcc to ‘perform optimizations for this cpu that might break the code for other CPUs’ - if the binaries you’re compiling will never run on another CPU, it shouldn’t be a problem, and should give you the best performance in the end. The effect of -march isn’t that significant, however, so if you’re unsure, just stick with -O2 -pipe

protocol = “ExplorerPS/2″

ok Nephyrin i just compiled freeglut and it whined about the setting not being set, it’s been known to cause problems according to the installer (however it looked as though it compiled fine.

How do you add a user to a group it was usermod -a -G then….?

gpasswd -a

Are you punishing me for refusing to go along with Microsoft’s edict that everyone must own a scroll-wheel mouse?

Yes

I’m dealing with a laptop which was fine, X11 with 1024×768, switching between a X screen and a tty was fast, I installed the battery plugin for xfce and the dependencies were also updated (paludis -i), now X11 refuses to use 1024×768 and switching between tty and X takes half minute what can I try to solve this?

Because I feel like an idiot every time I rub my finger between the two buttons on a mouse without one

Do you really mean to tell me that I need to buy a microsoft scroll-wheel mouse so that I can use X-windows on Linux???? that’s insane!!!

No no I was joking that’s not the problem Did you try X -configure? Same problem?

I have a number of custom options in my X configuration, not to mention nvidia binary drivers. — I tried very very hard to use the open-source ATI drivers but gave up after a year and a half of agony.

i just noticed that c functions getmsg() and getpmesg() are not implemented in my gentoo. so how can i deal with STREAMS?

Err, ATI open source drivers wouldn’t work with an nvidia card

anyone had a emerge error with mono?

Anyway, if X -configure doesn’t crash, it just means that somewhere in your xorg.conf is an option that’s breaking things, as opposed to a binary/install related problem

– I had to buy a nvidia card just so that OpenOffice and every other OpenGL application, regardless of how trivial, would not instantly crash and lock up the machine.

i have one with the main mono source during compilation

i phoned HP aparently their inside lights out doesnt support accurate operation of a mouse within Xwindows, its off by about an inch from the host cursor. quite annoying

it shouldn’t segfault regardless of anything that could possibly be in xorg.conf!!!

i just paid 450 for that license and it barely supports mouse operation lol

It *shouldn’t* segfault regardless

wow, that actually worked. but everything from my dual-headed config to my keyboard mapping is screwed up… I’m a DVORAK typist.

Well, good news bad news I guess XD Since your mouse was segfaulting you could try messing with the mouse section in your original xorg.conf and see if commenting out anything there crashes it to try to narrow down the problem commenting out anything there fixes it**

you have the package name wrong, it’s media-sound/murmur though I don’t see 1.0 in the tree

Yeah 9.4 is the latest in the tree it looks like 0.9.4**

asterisc, that didn’t help

hello all -march=nocona is fine for intel core2 duo cpu? I am talking about the CFLAGS

there’s actually a core2 flag in recent gcc’s

oh i never new

exit

I have kernel 2.6.18-xen .. and i have the sources of 2.6.18 without ‘xen’… so i need to compile a module called ‘tun’ for create interfaces… could i just compile a module from that sources ‘2.6.18′ and bring it for my 2.6.18-xen kernel ??? thats why i need to compile ‘tun’ module… from sources.. FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-xen/modules.dep: No such file or directory

OctZ, funky… I’ve just synced and updated eix and when I search for murmur in eix, a masked version 1.0.0 comes up

jzonol, sir my processor exactly is inter centrino duo, T5200 @ 1.6Gz, so what do you recommend

Is it just me or is it unreasonable for a CPU (Core 2 Duo) to run at 90 degrees celcius at full load? uIs it just me or is it unreasonable for a CPU (Core 2 Duo) to run at 90 degrees celcius at full load?/u

that sounds unreasonably hot to me

whatever you feel like anything goe *goes

jzonol, core2? or nocona, can you mark me any difference

hmm, that is what I thought. It is in a laptop so I can’t really add any extra cooling either

it doesn’t make much of a difference

what version of gcc?

i dunno cflags don’t matter that much

jzonol,

as core2 isn’t in all but the newest gcc http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#Intel_Core_2_Duo.2FQuad_.2F_Xeon_51xx.2F53xx

getting stuff into the memory cache however, makes one heck of a difference in speed

jzonol, I better use nocona then

sorry, jzono1, those were for Newbie

uh i keep getting kernel panics

suprisingly enough i manage to fit everything in ram cache here on my laptop

can anyone tell me why?

hmm

OctZ, am editing my make.conf i am installing gentoo

any way of squeezing a full gentoo with kde down to 2GB?

how do i install this overlay ? http://overlays.gentoo.org/dev/philantrop/changeset/8/trunk/net-wireless/rtl-wifi/rtl-wifi-9999.ebuild

booting off CF sounds fun

OctZ, So I just wanted to know what CFLAGS are good for my processor

I did a (chroot) livecd linux # ls /boot/grub/grub.conf but nothing was on the file

excuse my ignorance here… im trying to return a full X session back to a X server in windows… not just the screen, but the whole session. That can be done just through X forwarding, correct, not XDMCP?

and the diretory doesn’t exist

20-30MB/s transfers, sick seek times

is /boot mounted?

OctZ, Will the gcc used to compile My Kernel is Lates

YEah Octz

nbc.com’s episode viewer works on gentoo

do a gcc –version

OctZ, on the minimal CD right?

gcc -dumpversion

OctZ, It gives me 4.1.1, as I give the command on the minimal CD

then it doesn’t know about “core2″

OctZ, ohh OctZ, so i better use nocona

yup!

Hello, Does anyone know which boot splash is used on the installation cds?

not sure what to tell you

OctZ, Ohh and , If you don’t mind, can you tell me about,-fomit-frame-pointer, I didm’t make out , from the stuff they gave on Hand Book OctZ, didn’t OctZ, It was a little difficult for noob like me to understand

you can skip it if you are using amd64 as it is on by default

OctZ, OK Thanks

np, welcome to the fold

OctZ, np??

how do i install this overlay ? http://overlays.gentoo.org/dev/philantrop/changeset/8/trunk/net-wireless/rtl-wifi/rtl-wifi-9999.ebuild

np = no problem

OctZ, vey bad at shourtcuts. OctZ, shortcuts** OctZ, Thanks for the welcome, By the way

you may also want to know about http://forums.gentoo.org lots of helpful people/threads over there

OctZ, Lots of thanks, I never knew that, I only know about IRC

What is the application that can convert movie files?

Help! I am in my X server , at long last, but when I drag my mouse on to my second monitor, there’s no way for me to get it back to my first!!!

ffmpeg

mencoder

xfce is great

Holy moley, now that I have graphics again, I can see the U$D index, Every dollar you owned yesterday is worth $0.99 today!!!

yay. Topic.

Is there a way to tell “parted mkpart” to just use whatever free space remains on the disk?

ugh… how do I get my mouse on to my other desktop again? =(

do you have screen 0 to the left or right of screen 1?

before I had one huge desktop stretched over two monitors…

or somewhere else

now I have two of them, which I prefer, but I can’t get to the other…. I checked lef/right… I’m sure it’s not that. not up-down either.

ahhh, you can read my mind and know where I’m going with this

revdep-rebuild or ldconfig depending on what you’v ebeen doing recently

SO say I want to copy from .flv to .avi - how do I do it?

wrong channel

ldd /opt/skype/skype might help you see more as well

avi is a container, by the way…

Which channel?

why do that transcode? you lose alot of quality from it :/ good media players play flvs without problms

0I just want to convert from .flv to .wmv or something

why? what’s wrong with flv? flv to wmv is even worse actually

SHUSH for a second

hehe

I want to put it on my creative zen

right so quality doesn’t matter at all ffmpeg then have fun with the manpage

I have kernel 2.6.18-xen .. and i have the sources of 2.6.18 without ‘xen’… so i need to compile a module called ‘tun’ for create interfaces… could i just compile a module from that sources ‘2.6.18′ and bring it for my 2.6.18-xen kernel ??? thats why i need to compile ‘tun’ module… from sources.. FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-xen/modules.dep: No such file or directory

xvid in an avi container will be the best compromise then

“depmod -ae” should fix that warning, and no, that won’t work

hi all

how do I avoid a package update?

today i updated system with emerge -DNatuv world

I just built k3b and here is my dilemma, I don’t have k3bsetup …. how do I aquire this?

but now i dont want apache 2.2

Hi all

anyone have any idea how long it takes to compile OOo dual core 4200 ?

seems apache 2.0.53 have disappeared from ebuilds ?

how can i disable the digest check of an overlay ebuild

query belongs apache2 gives me only www-servers/apache-2.2.6 but i dont want to migrate to 2.2, what should I do ?

I’ve just run up a install, and stuck apache-2.2.6 on it.. I’m tearing my hair out trying to get user directories working.. I’ve followed faq’s to no avail.. Can anyone help please? If I symlink directly to the userdir, it works though…

I need to recompile my kernel for highmem, where would I find the .config file to edit?

I want to block a package from the updates list. how do I do that?

changed localcheck in an ebuild from NET_RADIO to WIRELESS_EXT … now digest is broke what can i do now ?

I dont see it in /usr/src/linux oh its in /boot

if this is a new kernel build, then .config doesn’t exist yet

cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig is suggested to enable high memory support

digest”

thanx found it just in that moment

Hello all, I am installing gentoo on my computer, now i am currently at setting USE variable state, here I hava a doubt, like if i use -kde -qt3 -qt4 and emerge amarok(kde based application) later, what are the consequences?

Hey everybody, im trying to modprobe ppp_mppe, which is compiled as a module in the kernel, and i get the following error-message: FATAL: Error inserting ppp_mppe (/lib/modules/2.6.21-gentoo-r4/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.ko): No such device

if you are in the market for a hardware raid controller: DON’T BUY 3WARE.

that’s interesting.

u know perhaps how i can install this ebuild as an overlay dont get it

Do I enable high memory support, and thats all? I have 4GB of ram, it only see 1GBish Anything else..

OctZ, You still there?

anyone know why the current ebuild of k3b doesn’t install k3bsetup?

mikefoo_, yes, that’s basically it

lloony, there are wiki entries for making overlays, but its more or less something like create your overlay in /usr/local/portage, and in make.conf add a line like PORTDIR_OVERLAY=”/usr/local/portage /usr/local/portage/new-overlay”

Does anyone know the installation boot splash?

ok thanx

madtrill, theres a howto on that , on gentoo wiki

which one does it use, gnome?

Does Gentoo specifically block apache-2.2.6 getting to the user directories?

madtrill, I don’t remember, gnome possibly.

i thinks its a -D option needed in /etc/conf.d/apache2

newbie, thanks the one i have now is boring, so I am looking for a replacement

Dragonheart - Ahhhhh! I’ll have a look! Thanks!

madtrill, yeah use the how to, and boot splashes can be downloaded from www.gnome-look.org madtrill, i guess you know already.

btw there is a gentoo apache. The -D option i’m thinking allows ~/public_html to show as url/~user/

does strace monitor syscalls?

cruxeternus, well my idea went down, again, about as badly as the first time!

yes

I saw it. That’s really all we can do.

btw there is a #gentoo-apache channel. The -D option i’m thinking allows ~/public_html to show as url/~user/

cool, thanks

np

i tried to log all nice syscalls, ran renice, no log… makes me wonder how many of the 319 syscalls in asm/unistd.h are actually used

ok I enabled high mem support and now have a new .config, is the next step: “make && make modules_install” then copy the bzimage to /boot ?

wepy:maybe you didn’t use it right?

yes

bonsaikitten, I am installing gentoo on my computer(I am a noob), now i am currently at setting USE variable state, here I have a doubt, like if i use -kde -qt3 -qt4 and emerge amarok(kde based application) later, what are the consequences?

Dragonheart - I’ll change channels.. Cheers!

is all of the output from strace syscalls?

i want to rsync some files up to a server I have booted off a livecd, but the sync fails because rsync isnt on the livecd i guess. Any ideas ?

you can do this too time { make; make install_modules } and it will tell you how long the total process took

it’s using get/setpriority this sys-process/audit package is very neat.. i’m thinking of writing a doc

bonsaikitten, Please don’t mind that I asked you. I have been waiting since long. And I found you to be active currently. If that bothered you, then, a Humble Sorry

cruxeternus; yep, no worries. So is the minimal CD + Full Handbook + stage 3 tarball the officially advocated install method, or just preferred by those in the know?

useflags affect optional dependencies

is it possible to have more than one portage overlay … if yes how to i tell make.conf ?

bonsaikitten, yeah I get that

so amarok will still depend on Qt3, that’s a hard depend, but it might lack some KDE integration because of the kde useflag (or lack thereof)

bonsaikitten, Ohh

maybe it’s tweakable?

noone has any idea on the kernel module problem i have ?

aye

bonsaikitten, and so you recommedn(i Guess), to use gnome based applications only if one want to use those flags? bonsaikitten, recommend**

is there a windows rootkit detector that runs on linux?

though i’m not so sure how useful pure syslog monitoring is er syscall

The method I generally recommend (and use).

I’d recommend not using gnome, but that’s my personal opinion

bonsaikitten,

listen to bonsaikitten, she’s smart

you should reconsider your gender assumptions

what do you use?

4/quit

cruxeternus, does the minimal CD include a portage snapshot, or do you just run emerge –sync with an empty tree?

hmm. I upgraded to alsa-drivers 1.0.15 RC and i am wholly unamused by the automatic muting (hda-intel) when no sound is playing. the speakers pop when it mutes/unmutes and a light glows orange above my keyboard. it’s rather annoying. is there any way to change that?

blackbox and KDE mostly

bonsaikitten, if i do emerge portage with my new use flags, will that miss me some ebuilds, ?? if i did -kde?

no

I believe you have to emerge portage on the minimal cd

The manual says to download a portage snapshot, then –sync off of it. Which can be somewhat faster overall.

use modinfo to see if there is a kernel modules aguement to disable it

already done so. none for snd-hda-intel or many of the others i checked

madtrill, yes

so does anyone have any idea why the ebuild doesn’t build k3bsetup at all?

cruxeternus, so to build my own universal CD, I could literally take the minimal CD, add portage snapshot, stage 3 tarball, and Handbook? Have I forgotten anything?

unless it’s disguised as ‘power save’

so if I did a make menu install in /usr/src/linux, didn’t I just overwrite over my working kernel in a sense?

I don’t know what the Universal CD had on it, as I never used it.

complain to upstream to make it optional and revert in the meantime

anyone got an answer to my question yet?

that sounds like more than enough to install without networking

no, it reads from the current .config and appends it

oh..

I seem to have found it. As i thought, disguised as powersave.

somthing basic like clamav maybe scan a directory from withing windows. you could use something like pyflag to scan the drive agaist mbsr checksum lists to find modified system files

what’s the cheapest thing that can run linux?

a 386

perhaps a palm pilot

I have a Dual 486 out in the garage

no, no.. i suppose secure linux web hosting runs on some embedded devices like watches or something

davvs, a Texas Instruments msp430 or similar I reckon.

oooh nice do you know any example of a watch with linux?

no

davvs, you might need to buy a compiler for this device you’re thinking of!

is there a way to update the groups you belong to w/o having to log out and back in?

hmm, I’m looking into tripwire right now

oh, yes ofcourse that wont be trivial i suppose

XaeroX, if your user has been added to a group G, you can use newgrp G to open a shell as that group.

ok

Im trying to modprobe ppp_mppe, which is compiled as a module in the kernel, and i get the following error-message: FATAL: Error inserting ppp_mppe (/lib/modules/2.6.21-gentoo-r4/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.ko): No such device

davvs, but there is GCC for ARM, and ARM do some very nice little MCUs

I just found a Texas Instruments TI-83 plus, do you think this little thing will run linux? ;D

doubt it how would you load linux onto it?

ok so I : make menuconfig; make ; make modules_install ; cp bzImage /boot, edit grub to boot into new kernel image is that all? I did all of that just now.

hmm, yes, that might be a problem

that works thanks …. by any chance do you know why I am having issues w/ finding k3bsetup2?

I don’t even know what that is.

you want to cp /arch/your arch/boot/bzimage /boot/image name

aparently it’s the dialog needed for k3bsetup but I don’t have it anywhere on my system :/

yeah I did that, i make it the full kernel name plus “-4GB” appended at end

hello, what do i need to do/emerge to get system:/// working in nutilus ?

Going to sleep, bye. / Me voy a dormir, adios

ok, then update grub and reboot

davvs, it’s been done according to the mighty google. You’ll need a flash programmer

there are no ebuilds to satisfy “=dev-python/gnome-python-extras-2.14.0-r1″. ?

Yeah going to reboot tomorrow, its a remote machine.

davvs see www.ticalc.org

so “/usr/src/linux” isn’t really used by anything on the system, its just source code to building kernels?

ok thanks

mikefoo_:ya mikefoo_:well, it’s used by drivers that need kernel stuff to build

ohh.. but then those are installed into /lib/modules, right?

yeah

/usr/src/ is a throw-back to BSD, but a lot of BSD users in the linux world use it still

Ahh ok got it

I am tryin to get the 2007.0 Live DVD to boot on my second system but keep just getting a beep and black screen when it tries to load X. any one got any ideas on how to get it to boot?

what can I do about this? there are no ebuilds to satisfy “=dev-python/gnome-python-extras-2.14.0-r1″.

very useful! sorry the universal cd

Dabbill, what hardware?

2200+ amd, 768meg ram, FX5500 vid

so I apparently have 41 config files that need updating… since I just emerged world for the first time, but since it’s a fresh install it doesn’t really seem to matter.. ?

Hello all, I am installing gentoo for the first time. I made a single partition for boot+root, so what are the opts that should be given for this partition at fstab?

you need a swap partition

Because separately, the default options are different for the both. So, I am confused

3 minimally boot, swap, /

Yeah I already had, so i i have a single / + swap

hey Pig_Pen

hi ShadeS

ShadeS, I have a / and swap

maybe take the root options then

ahurst, 2200+ amd, 768meg ram, FX5500 vid

Gizmore, sir are you sure, cause a frend of mine sitting beside me, is telling that he had problems while setting these options, they lead to a fatal error after the reboot

which options are confusing ? the latter two digits ?

Gizmore, So I am just worried , what the exact OPTS should be. Gizmore, no the opts column

aaah ok

Gizmore, like noauto etc etc Gizmore, can you help me with the exact opts?

_dont_ use “noauto” nor “ro”

My university has a 50kb limit to my laptop, but i want to use two wireless cards… Does anyone know how to configure to use both wireless cards to essentially double my downloading capacity?

noauto means it doesnt get mounted and ro means readonly

Gizmore, only noatime?

Dominicus not unless you have two university accounts

ya, this should work

Dominicus because if you log in twice *red flags*

Gizmore, well if that works, I will be seeing you after a reboot

Newbie, i dont have probs with a line like ‘/dev/hda4 / ext3 noatime 0 1′

if its reiserfs also do notail

khanman, thanks

so I just emerged the world, but I have 41 unconfigured options..

Gizmore, Mr.khanman confirmed the same, even my friend say he used noauto last time when he got the fatal error i was just talking about Gozmore, now I am confirmed Thanks

dont use noauto, noauto means no auto mount

Well… eh. I don’t know if my univevrsity is on top of things like that. but, I do suspect that authenticating a second login would kill the first in a good wireless authentication. I’m just looking for a way to do it. Besides that, i wouldn’t mind being able to use two wireless cards to my home wireless router as well.

Gozmore, yeah I get that

its Mr Man…but you can call me Khan

Gizmore, thanks and bye khanman, LOL

how can I get telnet to talk vt100?

see ya (hope so ^^)

Gizmore, whats the shm thing in the fstab? Gizmore, the line is already there :O

shm is some virtual memory thingy needed for posix, iirc

right now, i need not bother about it??

Newbie, you should be able to pretty much just cut and paste from the handbook

nope, just leave it there

khanman, Gizmore, ok then bye

the gentoo hanbook is the best ive seen for linux

how do i shutdown my computer via crontab in 2 hours ? or any other way

heh… good idea thanks a lot ^^

sorry that was 1 hour ’shutdown -h -t 7200′

I just freshly installed gentoo and emerged… what can I do from here

enjoy

I’m trying to emerge vi but it’s not happening…

hello, anybody have any idea why I can’t access system:/// with nautilus?

try file:///

that works i pretty much only emerged gnome-light do I need to emerge anything else?

i get a unable to mount root fs via NFS error. I think it’s becuase I did something wrong in my kernel, but I’m not sure what it is. Is there a guru who can help me figure this out?

did you compile NFS file system support in the kernel?

naringas I dont see a nfs support option in the file systems

anyone know the package name for the editor vi/vim?

filesystems-network filesystems?

naringas, Yes I have it selected

/usr/portage/app-editors/vim/

what about a firewall/iptables configuration, could that be blocking nfs

wilymage so that’d be as simple as ‘emerge vim’ ?

yep

Pig_Pen, Where are the firewall settings

with the sweetness Should I emerge as root or not?

as root, yes

if you did not make an IPtables firewall config file chances are you dont have it enabled

i don’t really know, I’ve never used nfs

Hello

naringas you never use nfs?

wilymage thanks

no

naringas, what then?

smb?

I’ll try it

i have simple needs what aabout coda?

I’ll try that

hi all i’m having a problem with pkg-config finding blas libraries i’ve emerged blas-atlas and run eselect blas set threaded-atlas, if i run eselect blas show it says that the lib is threaded-atlas but if i run pkg-config –libs blas it says package blas not found and further that i should add the dir containing ‘blas.pc’ to PKG_CONFIG_PATH but i can find no such file blas.pc in /etc/env.d/blas/*

isnt’ there a emerge option that will download all the pkgs before compiling them?

you could do emerge –fetchonly and then emerge after the former completes

?

brb I am going to try it

Hello all, I am installing Gentoo for the first time. I already have, Ubuntu + Windows XP, On sdb1,sda1 respectively, I am installing gentoo on sda4 with swap located on sdb4,well now the problem is. When I am writing my grub file, i wanted to check where the ubunut’s kernel is located at, but when i mounted it on some /mnt/ubuntu, its showing me the gentoo partition I am confused

okay weird problem ls; -bash: /usr/bin/ls: No such file or directory

i got a really weired problem my framebuffer seames to crash vesafb-tng

Hello all, I am installing grub for the first time, its giving me error, Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.

drivers/video/vesafb-tng.c:509: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type

you probably didn’t setup the /etc/fstab file

HazardX, already did it

well, the error you’re giving sounds like a block device naming error

HazardX, Well first of all i don’t have separate partition ofr /boot

quick question.. has the gentoo 64bit version same “problems” as all the other 64bit versions dists/win ?

not, a grub one

 

Cheap Email Host!

 

Ah then in that case, you may have forgotten to commend out the /boot line from fstab

HazardX, no i have only 3 line written manually

i’ve never seen issues with gentoo 64 bit. what specific problems are you thinking of?

i dropped my laptop off at the apple store, now i wanna hear music from my gentoo box without a gui

HazardX, one for /, one for swap one for cdrom

hmmm

whats a good terminal media player

i would also suggest asking #gentoo-amd64

mpg321 will play mp3 files without a gui

well, in that case, it COULD be a grub error, something related to not having set the root name correctly.

Fieldy, Seems like you are observing me from a long time

or maybe the /boot folder dosen’t exsist somehow.

HazardX, lemme check

no, i just saw your question here, that’s all

Fieldy, then how do you know that i am 64 bit user?

Hello, sound on KDE is skipping…can anybody help?

HazardX, no its there

what are you doing when it gives you the error? which grub step?

HazardX, grub-install /dev/sda where my gentoo / partition is on sda4

could have sworn you asked if gentoo 64 had the same problems other 64 bit distros did, maybe it was somene else?

hummm I’ve never had any luck with grub-install

HazardX, I am installing gentoo for the first time, and I already copied /proc/mounts to /etc/mtab

I’ve always had to do the grub installation manually from a grub shell

how can i change resolution of a terminal

how do you do that?

you using the arts daemon?

jevangelo, depends on the terminal.

(but I don’t remember exactly how to do so, and don’t have the linux-stuff notebook)

HazardX,

err, *my* secure linux web hosting stuff notebook

a tty

press e to edit grub

well, to get to the grub shell

jevangelo, on mine, you press the setup key and there’s an option to select the resolution.

fromt he install chroot just do “grub”

HazardX, ok did

that will bring you to a grub shell

HazardX, Yeah there

then I *THINK* you tell it root (hd0,(partition number of /root))

should I have font paths in my xorg?

then, setup (hd0,[thesamethingasbefore]) then quit I think

The Xorg.conf should already have them set

HazardX, how do it *tell*

setup key? what the

i did notice xorg.conf did not list any font paths, seems to work good though without them, not missing any fonts here

???

hmmm. but not mine… any way to do this automaticly?

HazardX, Ok I am done with what you said HazardX, Installation complete?

I just do X -configure to configure X

it *SHOULD* be. I think

HazardX, it showed me succeeded

provided you set it to the right partition number

Hey guys, I seem to be having a bit of a problem with emerging any packages that include anything to do with v4l, could anyone explain what the problem might be with this emerge? http://justarandomblog.hbband.com/kyle/build.txt

ok. thx.

at this point you’d restart, assuming the grub.conf file is setup correctly, it should work.

HazardX, Ok lemme reboot HazardX, and find out

mmm the fun part. press the button and pray!

should i use minimal-install 2007.0-r1 instead of 2007.0 ??

HazardX, There?

thats more recient? and should have any new bugs right ?

HazardX, I found out how exatly to do, when I did like that its giving me error, File is not sector aligned

hummm how big is your drive?

HazardX, 80 gig

how do i find out what is requireing a package? because something is calling ant-core and ant-core wont build

HazardX, Sir?

i have nsplug in USE= in make.conf but emerge blackdown-jre -pv shows -nsplugin, any ideas why this happens?

sorry, I gotta go, but you may be having a problem with the sector limit of grub if it still exsists

So anyone have any clue what the problem is? http://justarandomblog.com/kyle/build.txt

since you don’t have a /boot partition

is it showing as (-nsplugin)? if you try USE=”nsplugin” emerge -pv blackdown-jre do you get the same issue?

so im having trouble building ant core

so minimal-2007.0-r1 is the one to get ?/

It appears to be anything that uses v4l

oh yeah that’s why, it’s in (), what’s that about again?

deprecated or some such.. man emerge tells about it, iirc

then how do I get java in firefox??

Wicked-[KM]-: do it with the nocolor option, you have a lot of escape sequences in it hard to read

use firefox-bin?

no too slow

Good point dave, thanks, one moment

to the best of my knowledge nspluginwrapper doesn’t work with blackdown- or sun- JRE isn’t there a 64-bit blackdown JRE? JDK even pretty sure there is…

i’m on a pentium-m

so 32- or 64-bit? 32, yeah?

yeah 32

http://justarandomblog.hbband.com/kyle/build.txt

any java 6 would do

Removed colors

so what’s the issue then? thought you were having 64-bit issues when you mentioned nsplugin..

i just want java in firefox, that’s all java was in USE when I emerged mozilla-firefox some symlink I have to create if I remember right

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Java_and_Firefox

ok

sorry man, assumed you had 64-bit issues ’cause they’re so common atm.

i think they should make it so that the java use flag makes it just work

I think we should just abolish java.

has anybody had any mouse problems with the newest xorg? i just updated and rebooted and my mouse isnt working

yeah, since version 6 it has been buggy as hell

Isn’t working or you can’t see it?

it isnt working i can see the pointer moving the mouse does nothing

and it’s always been slow, one of the crappiest programming languages ever

yeah had the ‘pleasure’ of working with it at universtiy s/sti/sit/

java is so slow and bulky

java

and vb is terrible

can someone pls debug my problem ?? anyone

no go away my problem first

xorg.conf is always the first candidate …

i didnt change it

irrelevant, try /dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice etc

lloony, did you try vesa instead of vese-tng ?

try changing the uh… whatever to that?

try cat /dev/input/mice whilst moving it around to make sure the mouse is working on a kernel level, too..

yeah, i just needed sun-jre-bin, it seems blackdown is not on x86 arch anymore

device

now it works … some time it crashes

lloony, what arch are you on ?

now it works … i have no clue why it crashes erm nocona

oh yea lots of shit from /dev/input/mice… which is what its at

lloony, that 64 bit ?

no core2

i thought core 2 was 64 bit

it is

Switching to high resolution”

tetra, i thought i read in the kernel help that vesa-tng may not work on 64 bit and vesa should be used ?

core arch is amd64 isn’t it? no clue

tetra, i dont know, i am just throwing out an idea. i set up frame buffer here and recall reading that

do i need all three USB kernel objekts ( EHCI OHCI and UHCI ) ?

thanks again, java’s working

Hello all, I am installing gentoo. I am currently installing grub. I am getting this error: df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted file systems,Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.

type mount /boot

ok I don’t have separate parition fot /boot

you really should

But I am noob so just thought of trying gentoo,so i let only 20 gigs, and so i found no point in having a separate partition

I’m quite sure the Gentoo install instructions indicate that it’s a very good idea to have a separate for /boot, and given that you’re a self-professed noob, perhaps you should realise there are points to things if they’re suggested?

wilymage, wilymage, but now I can’t repeat the process ( wilymage, I use ubuntu with no /boot seperately as well so i thought it would be easy

I’m really not familiar with the subtle nuances of how grub works, but obviously it is trying to mount /boot so that it can create /boot/grub..

wilymage, so what can i do now?

having a separate /boot partition takes very little space, and it great for lots of reasons; you really want /boot to only be used on boot then unmounted, less chance of it getting borked.. uhaving a separate /boot partition takes very little space, and it great for lots of reasons; you really want /boot to only be used on boot then unmounted, less chance of it getting borked../u

Do i need another driver besides the EHCI driver ???

Umm to be honest I’ve never had that situation before… I suppose you have three options: re-install, use a utility such as parted to create a new boot partition, or hack grub somehow to work.

I have successfully installed Gentoo for the first time. I’m in KDE, happily using Pidgin and browsing on Firefox, and I’ve even gotten those programs to “blend in” to the KDE environment smoothly and everything. I almost want to throw a party, heh.

I’m sure the latter is possible, do some googling?

wilymage, I have 6 gigs unallocated space shalli reformat it to ext3 and copy all the data from /boot recursively?

boot doesn’t need to be very big, and ext2 is probably a better idea.

wilymage, Will just copying now after all installation from /boot to that new partition will work?

but yeah, that sounds like a decent solution. then put said partition in /etc/fstab, remount /boot, and try grub again.

wilymage, o’course I will change grub wilymage, brb

Only thing is, I just realized that I’m in root. So, I grabbed kuser and made myself a user account named “james” and all that. But when I tried to log in to james and run “startx” it went to the lame twm instead of KDE. Quick fix, anybody?

speaking of /boot why is there a symlink of /boot in /boot ???

Does the EHCI usb driver include the ohci or uhci driver ?

vi ~/.xinitrc ; add add “exec startkde”

no, select which one you have, either ohci or uhci

wilymage, Can I have ext2 for /boot and ext3 for / ??

for some stupid links. It’s normal, and not a problem. Yes. You can have any mix of filesystems you please.

I’ve already got KDE starting for root. It just didn’t start for james.

edit james’ .xinitrc

wilymage, thanks

put “exec startkde” in there

little help? I’ve installed the madwifi-ng and madwifi-ng-tools and I’ve loaded the modules, but I don’t have the device ath0…

what does iwconfig say? more importantly, what does dmesg tell you about the device node?

i was thinking since Newbie wants to copy /boot to another disk partition if he uses the cp command what if that symlink of /boot inside /boot causes cp to copy the /boot directory indefinitely until the disk partition is full ;p

eth0: no wireless extensions lo: no wireless extensions sit0: no wireless extensions

Marvelous. Come to think of it though, if I plan on using kdm to log in, does it even matter?

Nope. Copying symlinks doesn’t work like that unless you use a special command.

dmesg doesn’t herald any useful information…

Looks like there’s no device node created, for some reason.. No. KDM allows you to select your window manager as you please with a nice GUI menu.

hello how can i share swap partition between freebsd and gentoo

yeah, I’m not sure why… I’ve even rebooted

Thanks.

how can I create the device?

udev should do it automatically if you have the right modules loaded…

I’ve compiled 802.11 support into the kernel… I have wlan and ath_pci loaded so… is there anyway I can get udev to do it again?

what does lspci tell you about the device? Google that information…

lspci doesn’t tell me anything about the card, it’s PCMCIA… I just get the cardbus controller

you need to enable UFS support and BSD disklabel in your kernel then you can share the swapspace, iirc here, found a link: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Linux+FreeBSD.html#toc3

tried google already… I don’t see the card in dmesg or lspci, but I’ve tried it in other laptops and it works

wait, it’s PCMCIA?

PCMCIA is a oddball, if the Linux kernel does not support it natively you will have to either try to get ndiswrapper to support it or get another PCMCIA card that is supported by the kernel

yes

How about pcmcia user space tools? Maybe there’s a lister.

Atheros chipsets are widely supported it’s an Airlink AWLC4130 based on the Atheros chipset

Ah, didn’t notice that… Hmm if you aren’t seeing the device in dmesg or lspci, I’d warrant PCMCIA is your issue, as — as you say — Atheros chipsets usually work quite seamlessly.

is there a build log 4 the kernel compile ?????

modprobe it if you built the module for it

done that

If its saying device is busy how do I unmount it?

damn, i can’t read any ALSA guides in links

are there any modules besides the regular PCMCIA ones I need to build to support the cardbus controller?

http://backtrack.offensive-security.com/index.php?title=HCL:Wireless#AirLink101_AWLC4130

heh while you’re there you can get aireplay, aircrack and kismet

only if you get my card working

wilymage, Its saying deice is busy how do I unmount, i am nowher sitting in any loaction inside that parition

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7

wilymage, I restarted terminal even

Dude check that you have all of those bridges it suggests compiled in your kernel What are you trying to unmount, /boot?

no / it self

net-wireless/madwifi-ng

wilymage, I want to do some experiment

You can’t unmount /

wilymage, I myself mounted it so why cant i unmount

umount -l

already installed it…

Oh sorry, you mean / in a chroot?

I do not, am compiling now…

wilymage, yeah wilymage, umount -l worked

Cool, hopefully that’ll fix the issue. DrChandra: pretty sure it’s a CardBus issue, as we checked the NIC side stuff..

Hmm I wonder if there is anyway to plug the nvidia source code into a kernel tree and just make a patch to patch other kenrels? Website says all ya need to do is rebuild the module… Prolly aint legal, but would make building the module much easier

you do it, and we’ll wave at you from your cell

AH that is if I told you lol

alright, lspci can see it now *thumbs up!*

*dance*

…but still no ath0

_now_ modprobe relevant device

I got a ath0

did it…

modprobe -c first?

loaded ath_pci ath_hal and mac80211… not sure what else it wants

Nor I, I’m afraid, this is where it becomes subtle nuances rather than general problem solving… I’d only google if I were in your position, or ask one of the guys here with specific knowledge of those cards..

ok, thanks wilymage

Anything in dmesg?

Is the Hp Toolbox thing pulled in with hplip by default?

I have a couple questions.. First is, why can’t I do anything (useful) on my user account. I can’t even do “ifconfig”, it doesn’t recognize it as a command, only as root. And I can’t figure out how to sudo..

Becuase I can’t find an hp toolbox on my system.

zpr

zpr, do /sbin/ifconfig as normal user

do sudo passwd then change ur root password then u can log in as root using su -

bl4ck, i already have a custom set root password

Hello, sound on KDE keeps skipping, however sounds from FF is working fine, Amarok is fine…its just system alerts such as Kopete and startup and other sounds from KDE that are skipping, any ideas?

bl4ck, and when i do “su -” it prompts me for a password, so i type the root password, but it’s denying me.

are you in the wheel group

I’m pretty sure I am, how do I check?

cat /etc/group | less

groups or id

or cat /etc/group | grep wheel

Bianconeri, Guess I’m not, how do I make myself part of it? (Even though I thought I already did :P)

zpr you need to log in as root first

and then?

As root `gpasswd -a zpr wheel`.

hello guys, i have a problem during installation , http://pastebin.ca/705376 any idea

thanks.

what tmr said guys i am experiencing a problem with sound sound on KDE keeps skipping, however sounds from FF is working fine, Amarok is fine…its just system alerts such as Kopete and startup and other sounds from KDE that are skipping, any ideas?

looks like your xorg-server is too old

What version of xorg-server you have?

This new xorg server 1.3.0.0 stinks! Xine, mplayer stoped working, and when I switch from X to a terminal (Alt+F1-6) it scrambles the screen and crashes! How do I switch back to xorg-server-1.2.0-r3? How come its not masked?

Mask 1.3.0 and emerge -uvaD world.

tmr, thanks Many users of other distros (fedora, ubuntu, etc) are having problems with this version as well (I wish I knew this earlier).

ezerhoden, yea , it’s too old

I just noticed that I have upgraded to 1.3.0, zero problems so far

tmr, check mplayer or xine

My porn is showing as well as it ever has.

tmr, do you have glx loaded on your xorg.conf?

I’m logged in as “james” now, and KDM isn’t allowing me to log in as root, which is fine. However, when I try to use the su command as james, it says the password is incorrect, and I know it isn’t.

squarebottle, add your user to the wheel group RTFM

As root `gpasswd -a zpr wheel`..

tmr, any idea

Yeah, about that bit of RTFM help… Being as I cannot log in as root or use su right now, how do I add james to the wheel group?

Bianconeri, just wrote it change zpr to your user

X Window System Version 1.3.0 works fine here

Pig_Pen, do you have glx loaded?

yes

tmr, 1.0.2-r7

ctrl-alt-f1 log in as root and type up the command i gave you (change zpr to your user)

Pig_Pen, how about XAANoOffscreenPixmaps on the “Device” session?

none of that

I’m not familiar with “zpr” and searching for it on google and the Gentoo-Wiki doesn’t really come up with anything.

hey all

i can pastebin my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log if you want it

gpasswd -a you wheel

I have a commercial trial product that is time limited to 30 days. I can’t imagine how it would cripple itself without leaving some kind of trace. Is there a way I can install it and trace what it does, or install it in some kind of chroot jail?

zpr is just a nickname of another guy over here, he asked the same quesion as you, i just coppied and paste…my bad

squarebottle, replace zpr with your username ie. james

i got mysql installed outside my chroot enviornment, now i want to emerge php WITH MySQL support, but WITHOUT installing mysql. i try masking mysql, it wants to install mysql-community. i mask both, i cant emerge

Pig_Pen, no 3d Desktop?

Mnabil, update to at least xorg-server 1.2

Mnabil, yeah emerge –sync then update your xorg

look at my pastebin, i am not GUI expert just what nvidia’s xconfig built for me

Guys any help with sound??

deadpool_28, what is this, i already doing this, didn’t you recongnize that i’m emergeing world ?

Pig_Pen, ok, np

Yes, I use glx and nvidia binary drivers.

Mnabil, if you update world you would not have xorg-server 1.02

deadpool_28, THIS error. appear while i was emerging world

Man, what the heck is up with xorg then? tmr, look http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-June/msg05228.html, same problem I’m having

if I put in /etc/hosts.deny “sshd: ALL” will the options in “/etc/hosts.allow” eg “sshd: 1.2.3.0/255.255.255.0″ still be valid and allowed in?

how old is your install _M3741_ ? have you tried a clean install recently?

Did you notice when that was posted?

tmr, yes but its the same error. Pig_Pen, my install is up-to-date I emerge -auDv world weekly

hi all

Mnabil, what is your profile?

hey guys, is there a way to specify a static IP while still having DNS servers assigned dynamically?

bye

Are you running lot of programs in X when you try mplayer/xine, or compiz?

tmr, no

if you know your DNS’s IP# i would just use static and add the DNS’sIP to /etc/resolv.conf

Mnabil, in your make.conf VIDEO_CARDS=”-nv”

I know them, but is there a chance that they’ll change?

what is the comand that has the option -15 so the comand will put out a number a line untill it reaches 15

That depends on how well written the interface scripts are. The separate queries could be made to the DHCP server to get the other information, but it might be queued behind the IP negotiation.

Are you having trouble with compiz causing the computer to semi-freeze when it exits?

Mnabil, once it finish renable the flag then update world with newuse.

you could try putting your default gateway # in to /etc/resolv.conf (no guarantee it will work though)

nn-laptop: `head -n15 file`?

thesymbolicfrog, actualy Beryl, but yes, thats happening as well

disable indirect rendering as an option

=S scripting? =/ perhaps another day. I’m just trying to get the server configured for basic use first. So there’s no built in functionality?

thesymbolicfrog, is it DRI?

So you ARE running Beryl?

deadpool_28, finish what , sync . or … explain more ?

/etc/resolv.conf is overwritten by the interface scripts. Put settings in /etc/conf.d/net

nope, it’s no good =/ my router isn’t configured as a DNS server

tmr, yup

tmr no i want numbers onily not numbered lines

I had that error too. I don’t know what exactly causes it, but if you disable indirect rendering as the render path in the beryl-manager icon or fusion-icon menu, it should work.

Mnabil, edit your make.conf with what i suggested

basically count till number comand

set up all of it as static and let the router do the DNS/DHCP stuff

I’m not saying write scripts. Test them. Try putting a static IP in place, and set up the rest for DHCP.

So how does the kernel (make menuconfig) know the configuration of the previous kernel?

Mnabil, then reemerge world

i know it exists i just cant rember it

thesymbolicfrog, I’ll try that right now, thanks

oic… hmm I’ll give it a try

Well if my quick reading regarding that bug was right it might be because you’re running out of vram, and Beryl uses that alot.

is anyone here fimilar with setting up hylafax in gentoo

E.g. i’m trying to get a new kernel to *not* default to my new kernel’s config.

im having some issues

hey guys. I follwed the wiki @ http://gentoo-wiki.com/Macbook

What I expect though is that the “dchp” setting for the IP is what tells the scripts to get things like NTP and DNS from DHCP. Unless the IP is set to come from DHCP, the rest won’t either.

and for some reason my system is not seeing ath0

thesymbolicfrog, where do I set that?

GCC is only using 1/2 my CPU for compiling on a Pentium D 820. How do I get it to compile with both parts of the dual-core?

deadpool_28, Invalid ‘-’ operator in non-incremental variable ‘VIDEO_CARDS’: ‘-nv’ , i got this

thesymbolicfrog, nevermind, found it

I see… how often does resolv.conf generally get overwritten?

gcc isn’t multithreaded. make is. man make, and look for the -j option.

it might crash if you change the setting as you’re running it, but it should work the next time

Mnabil, my bad just leave out nv and it should compile without the nv drivers

I am despereate to get this to work!

Every time an interface comes up that has DNS settings.

deadpool_28, and then ? what i gonna do again to enable this nv driver ?

anybody have any ideas?

hmm… well the only interface I have is set to static. Would that be ok then?

thesymbolicfrog, I have the option Automatic set, and the other ones are “Indirect Rendering” and “XGL rendering”.

Mnabil, so VIDEO_CARDS=”vga” for standard vga

deadpool_28, i have an ATI

Mnabil, reemerge world

I see So I should set this to (Num Processors + 1) So witha dual-core. make -3 would be the way to go?

I really want to have my macbook up and running w/ gentoo by monday and this is preventing me from really going any farther

thesymbolicfrog, I don’t have XGL, so, what should I do?

Mnabil, Ah i see

Not without dns_search and dns_servers settings in /etc/conf.d/net.

deadpool_28, i did

I tried asking for help yesterday but it did not amount to much. any ideas on wtf happened to ath0? I tried looking for wlan or whatever and it’s not there either

Mnabil, wait one

I see… hmm I’ll have to see what I can do about those

! deadpool_28 wait what ?

sorry, was afk for a while. If you have XGL set and not indirect, I guess it’s not what was causing my problem. Try setting it to automatic for kicks and see if it helps.

YEs. There is no harm in setting it too high, other than it might not do as well as a lower number. Increase it until a long parallel compile doesn’t get any faster.

one quick thing. what pkg is lspci in?

Thank you very much

Mnabil, hold on

The linus kernel Makefiles are fairly robuts, and take good advantage of the make -j argument.

deadpool_28, ok

*linux *robust

surely somone knows?

-can’t type

I really don’t want to have to give up and just install windows

anyways tmr you were right, after disabling beryl xine and mplayer started working again.

Mnabil, i am not familiar with ati cards but you can give this a try

equery belongs lspci

sys-apps/pciutils

thanks thesymbolicfrog

is anyone here fimilar with setting up hylafax in gentoo

qfile `which lspci` found that

thesymbolicfrog, automatic is already set

deadpool_28, yea, thanks alot

thanks at least I know that

anyone look into sqlzma?

Mnabil, in make.conf VIDEO_CARDs=”radeon”

btw just so yo uguys know I have only *one* ethernet cord going into my room so I leave it’s because I had to download something on my gentoo install in progress

Mnabil, capital S after cards

do you know how to get my ath0 to come up?

Well, if it’s not running as Indirect under the automatic setting, I guess I don’t know what’s causing it… sorry :

deadpool_28, after emegeing work, with the last use flah =-nv ?

what kernel stuff should I have built in? is the wiki wrong or what?

Mnabil, yes remove -nv

hey this should be easy. how in the world are you supposed to know what module to modprobe if the help doesn’t say?

thesymbolicfrog, my guess is that it is running under indirect rendering, cuz I guess xgl wouldn’t work

Mnabil, only thing in that section should be radeon and to be on the safe side vga Mnabil, VIDEO_CARDS=”radeon vga”

Find out what card or chipset it is, and google for it with “linux” as a keyword.

If you’re running with an nvidia card, you could set up Nvidia Desktop Effects as an alternative through “strategic” manipulation of the xorg.conf file. That might be a more ’stable’ render path for your combination of card, driver, and beryl version.

deadpool_28, i dun understand, what is the correct use flag then ?!

I had this problem last night. it would be great if could take acouple minutes and peruse the wiki http://gentoo-wiki.com/Macbook I did everything there
