i don't know what is the problem

ok, it's started but doeasn't print

my arch is amd64 i try ot compil libXau

with KDE i can set it ok, but KDE settings are dead

[Errno 5] Input/output error: '/usr/share/man/man3/XauDisposeAuth.3.bz2'

nn-gentoo: mmmm…ok.. i still dont think you need bridging, but whatever

hi i have a problem with my gentoo

Is there a way to cross-compile and package binaries in gentoo?

it's calling me a nigger when i try to install it

show some respect

is your hdd full?

it's saying i'm a gay nigger

show some respect

i don't thinks so checking
no
i have 11 go free

sure is

Thanks.

i have can upload the complete stacktrace to my webserver if u want

…that was my guess.. sorry

how to log in as root in KDE?

Merging x11-libs/libXau-1.0.3 to /

do not paste in here

— /usr/share/man/man3/

how i can know if my if my graphics card is AGP ow PCI?

just 2 lines

bercik\: ..you don't, iirc..

to show that the error is after compiling

…look at it?

something wrong with the manpages

is there a way to bootstrap directly from an image on hd?

_AxS_, uhm?

If I'm using xf86-video-i810 should I unmerge x11-drm?

PCI would probably be….6 years old or more

XMetal, lspci, if the first number on the left is different from every other device, there is a very high probability it is AGP.

e.g. boot from a live-cd i have just as an image lying around?

_AxS_, i wann tell pci-express
=x

pci-e would be, less than a year old

_AxS_, my notebook , i dunno what is

anything else, you gotta look up your hardware and figgure it out

hi

If I want direct rendering for an Intel 845 onboard graphics controller, do I need x11-drm or do I only need xf86-video-i810?

x11-drom is very old. you need in-kernel DRM and i810

you need video-i810 and you need the i9xx kernel drm.

…for an 845?

yes, for an 845

_AxS_, its pciexpress ^^
going to configure X
and finish the isntallation

cool

_AxS_, finally finishing the gentoo install uhull \o/

I have a failed scp. I want tor esume it, but it will overwrite the file, can I sue rsync maybe to copy over the remaining parts?

the 810 in the kernel is OLD OLD, the 9xx is the "new" driver, which is compat. with all the i810 stuff, it's just that it started it's life differently, or something silly.

Okay. In the kernel, I have [M] for agpgart [M] for Intel I8xx chipset support [M] for Direct Rendering Manager.

under Direct Rendering yo ushould see i810 and i9xx or something
get those too

omg…
I gotta stop typing nano /var/log/messages | tail -50
this is like the 20th time _

_AxS_: I'm not using a framebuffer console here, so I con't have any of that [*] built in. Under the direct rendering manager I see the Intel I810 and other one "Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G"…

cut the uuoc, just tail -n 50 /var/log/messages

_AxS_, i was doing emerge nvidia-drivers…

the 2nd one. Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G

how can i find out what packages i have installed that have package X as a dependency?

the i810 one is old and will really only work right with an 810, as opposed to the xorg driver, which is i810 and works with the whole family of things.

equery depends X

and the emerge returns me that i need to do cd /usr/src/linux && make oldconfig && make modules_prepare

_AxS: Then there is the choice of the i830 driver and the i915 driver.

thanks

i915

_AxS_: The solution I need, should have 32bpp direct rendering.

_AxS_, but im using now a config for kernel by livecd, cause my config with genkernel all make my system hardlock

So I can try to play secondlife.

err, sorry, just listen ot skunky

_AxS_, if i do this my system dont come back to the bad config ?

_AxS

how do I see what make flags are available for php ?

_AxS_
?

ummmm…. unsure.
nn-gentoo: ?

for that you pick the i915 (tho if you M the i830 it won't hurt anything)

can you help me set this up with out bridging?

confused yet?

emerge -pv php

nn-gentoo: step 1. buy 2 cities on opposite sides of a river. step 2. secure financing. step 3. build bridge.

how do I emerge php 4.4.4 ?

um. why would you want to do something silly like that?

nn-gentoo: just set up the interfaces, do all the iptabls stuff the same, and turn on ip-forwarding by using 'echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward'

Skunky: Sorry for being so verbose. I'm not too confused yet. I have to reboot now, to see where I'm at.

its fun to charter an accountant…

old code depends on it. 4.4.7 even

better verbose and understood, than brief and confused. (:

_AxS_: Thanks for the advice.

4.4.7 is in portage

np, gl

i know…but emerge php gives me php5

so mask =php-5

emerge =dev-lang/php-4.4.7 should give you what you want
should be slotted, so they can both be there.

*nod*

how

time to man portage — read about /etc/portage/package.mask

emerge =dev-lang/php-4.4.7 should give you what you want

when running gnome and inserting a udf filesystem DVD, it tells me udf is not supported by my system, how do i install usf support?

nn-gentoo: ok, now, seriously, what's wrong with bridging? you enable the interfaces and brctl them and poof it works.

it's in the kernel
recompile your kernel with udf support

how do I look at what cron jobs my system is currently running or is schedualed to run?

or just build the module

neozonz_, crontab -e

Scaevolus, thanks

for the ones that are scheduled

blue|palm, kernel configurations

neozonz_, thanks

crontab -l, -e edits the file, -l just lists it.

the running ones are visible in the system log
Ah, right

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-568764.html

hmm
I see nothing in crontabs..
1 computer3241 cron[10522]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons

this is the script running the "weekly" and "daily" dirs
it's in the root crontab

is it a normal function of crontab?

neozonz_, no, it's a Gentoo script
for simplicity
you just dump a shell script into a dir and it's ran weekly, daily or monthly

ah i see
awesome thanks
always wondered what that was takes up 90% of my logs XD

how can i know my Horizontal Sycn and VerticalSync of my monitor?

should be in your manufacturers specs…check their website

XMetal, hmm, it should be in the monitor's manual

dont have- /
=/\
notebook

what version of Xorg

XMetal, uh, that doesn't have a monitor, it's an LCD panel
just ignore the refresh rate - it doesn't mean anything with these

asb002_, yes
AStorm, yteap al cd panel

Xorg should be able to detect it, so just leave it out of the config

|splat|, the last
|splat|, just do so Xorg -configure
and pray? huhu
that they auto detect?

yeah do that to get a general xorg.conf file, then edit it by hand

nice
brb
will try

\quit
i did compil my kernel with dmraid support like u said id id genkernel -dmraid all
but at boot just after mdev it ask me a correct root device

my computer keeps getting too hot and shutting down. how can i enable acpid to start at boot?

i manually set up grub and i had no error

you need to put 'dodmraid' at the end of your kernel line, same as when you booted the livecd

and would that fix the problem?

ok i read that it wad not a solution on the web, someone told to someone in my case to do that and in fact that did not solve the problem
i will test now

also, is your 'real_root=' correct?

hey guys, i'm playing around with my multimedia keys..setting them up
everything works but my volume knob
when i attempt to raise/lower my volume
an osd pops up that says Volume
all it does is toggle between 0 and 11%
but neither makes a difference to my PCM volume (which is at 100%)
anyone know how to kill this OSD bs?

…this is in linux?

how can I know since when my linux is install ?

hello how can i mount my ipod ?

plug it in, make sure yo uhave usb-storage and scsi support

Anyone here use root-tail?

how'd you install?

with command line with the minimal cd

if you want to write music to it to play tho, you'll need some utilities

yes i have

ls -al /

but i can't mount this

yes but I want to know when my gentoo was installed

Bardamu, don't try to mount the first partition, only the second partition on the ipod will mount

http://pastebin.ca/605166

how can you make sure acpid is enabled at boot, and how can you make sure it's working properly?

i can't mount anything

Bardamu, try `mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod`

that should tell you
head -1 /var/log/emerge.log will tell you, too

using top, how can I show only one process with a certain pid?

thanks

périphérique spécial /dev/sda2 n'existe pas
it doesn't exist

http://pastebin.ca/605168

Bardamu, try `mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ipod`
Bardamu, an ipod is a drive technically, so it can be partitioned

http://pastebin.ca/605169
yes but i can"t umount it

does anyone know how to change qt themes using .qtrc

Bardamu, i'm no ipod expert.. but i'm sure you have vfat support enabled in the kernel.. correct?

yes

i had eror on my partition i fixed them all is ok now i compiled libXau

great
no problems booting into your raid0?

i booted with dodmraid, after mdev i see a line about raid and then i am asked for a valid root

Bardamu, was this ipod formatted in windows or mac?

what is your 'real_root=' set to in grub?

i don't know

i tihng there is some clearing to do in my grub.conf

it's new

checking

can i install emerge on another distro?

ppl how can I change my terminal default size in XFCE?

kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/mapper/nvidia_afbccagd12 udev vga=0×31B dodmraid

Bardamu, if you've never used it before.. you might need to set it up under windows or mac for the first time
Bardamu, this page might also help http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Using_an_iPod_With_Gentoo_Linux

yes, but why

utxeeee, the text size?

no

ah ok

the width

i understand

and the height

resisio can i use emerge w/o root privlidges?

grknight, do you know how to do it?

utxeeee, not yet

ok

/dev/mapper/nvidia_afbccagd12 is my boot partition

what is your root partition?

/dev/mapper/nvidia_afbccagd3 is my partition with all the system
is that the root partition ?

ok. so then you want to have 'kernel /kernelfile dodmraid real_root=/dev/mapper/nvidia_abfccagd3' as your kernel line

Hi all, I am a bit confused about an Xorg option

if thats what you mount to /mnt/gentoo when you chroot in, yes.

yes that is
i typped it on the boot command line but it not worked

I have Option "StandbyTime" "10" set in my xorg.conf however I am seeing no action when I am actually running my X server, Option "BlankTime" does work, any ideas?

Rubiks120, Option "StandbyTime" "time" sets the inactivity timeout for the "standby" phase of DPMS mode. time is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run-time with xset(1x). Default: 20 minutes. This is only suitable for VESA DPMS compatible monitors, and may not be supported by all video drivers. It is only enabled for screens that have the "DPMS" option set (see the MONITOR section below)

grknight, well I do have DPMS set to true and I could have sworn the monitor actually has gone into standby before, but I could have very well been seeing things

Rubiks120, Option "DPMS" "on" in the monitor section?

where do the initramfs files come from?

have Option "DPMS" "true"

you gotta make them. genkernel generates them, and there are other tools that can too

_AxS_, do you know how to generate them without genkernel?
by the way, what are those files for?

sort of, but they are not easy to do.

Rubiks120, as the manual also states.. it might be limited by the driver too

initramfs's are the successor to 'initrd' files.. they're for setting up your system on a ramdisk, for when the real root partition is unavailable
ie, because the hdd controller driver is not compiled in or because there's some special setup commands you have to run

I will check google for more information see if I can find anything out, I am on the intel GMA950 chipset with the i810 driver

_AxS_, ooh, so they are an important thing to have.

no, they're only needed if you can't mount your root wihtout it
95% of all installs don't need one

it does not work

can you rafb.net/paste your grub.conf for me? and your fstab?

_AxS_, but what if my root partition gets corrupted and I need to fsck it?

ok

root is mounted readonly until fsck runs, every time.
that's what 'checkroot' does in your init scripts

ohh, ok

its more for stuff like dmraid, or for encrypted-root-fs, etc.. in those cases you have to run user tools on the filesystems before you can mount them

grub.conf: http://rafb.net/p/EAjNTR21.html

_AxS_, what about gensplash, does it need it to get a graphical boot befor /etc/init.d/splash comes up?

yes, gensplask needs in initramfs.
err, fbsplash

etc fstab: http://rafb.net/p/vrX0Yp37.html

ohh, so thats why my system boots to a black screen then becomes graphical
ohh, so thats why my system boots to a black screen then becomes graphical
well, I'll use genkernell then

Well after googling around a bit it doesnt seem like the option is unsupported by my video card/driver.. so I need to look into other reasons why its not working

ok that looks good… when you boot do you see any errors being spat out by dmraid?

I already have a .config in the kernel folder, will genkernel overwrite it?

…..it might. i can't remember
i know it uses its own by default
but i dunno if it cleans up after itself

ohh, I like my own .config …

Anyone happen to know what package provides ps2pdf?

glguy, ghostscript.

you can use it — copy it elsewhere and then use –kernel-config=/path/to/your/config
and use –menuconfig to be sure that it took

thanks

_AxS_, great
thankx

np.. man genkernel for more info

anyone know what this means? Cannot create socket: at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Net/Daemon/Test.pm I'm doing cpan DBI

no but i just did a fdisk -l i see both of my disk the first one with 7 partition and the other one without "a valid partition table", i have some problem with my second drive, it is not always working it seems

fdisk -l on what? /dev/sd* or /dev/mapper/nvidia_abfsdsdfffs ?

hum no
"fdisk -l"

i thought that required specifying a drive

ok i did it on mapper
it is ok

ok. ignore anything that's not /dev/mapper/nvidia_abf2343232 or whatever it is
those other things are not valid.

ok

so no errors about dmraid at all then?

no

did you use a plain basic genkernel kernel? or did you tweak it with –menuconfig ?

one line say "mdev .." the second one is about raid and then 2 lines telling the root device is not good
the root device displayed is the one i have as real_root

how can I tell is there is a mysql ebuild installed on my system ?

"genkernel –dmraid all"
i did not use anything else

ok. when it prompts for a valid root partition, and you enter /dev/mapper/nvidia_abfqwerrrew3, does it work?

no

look in /usr/portage under mysql's category

that will tell me if it is available to install. I want to know what is installed already.

equery list

thanks

i did genkernel with menuconfig a second time searching for raid options to set or anything, but i did not compil a new kernel i stopped the compilation
