thank you smartass

np

and higher refresh rates

responded

ok ill just copy and paste it all in here then

Neat! Do I need Framebuffer console rotation, too?

ufed says that stuff like pppd and isdn are in /etc/make.profile/make.defaults but they arent. my solution to this is to -ppd and what not in make.conf. can anyone help me with this because i know this isnt how you are supposed to fix this problem
i just figured that it might be to involved to do work over irc

yeah I read it, doesn't really make much sense to be honest..

hmm, I guess they are enabled by the desktop profile

I ve been advised to use flagedit … shall be better

and ufed just missed the target

Is there also a way to change the default web browser :O

well when i put -pppd and what not in my make.conf and emerge -uND world it reemerges stuff with out those flags

Konquerer is lame :O

have been playing with package.mask and .keywords

bird I responed to your topic onthe forums

which desktop environment?

xfce4

thanks

!!! ARCH is not set… Are you missing the '/etc/make.profile' symlink?
i'm getting that whenever i try to emerge something ^

when specifiying sync ranges do I need to include the hz?

(if any)
I remember you can set part of that in KDE in config panel

in the right click menu ?

the other in its MIME editor (the one for associations)
yes, correct

bobber205, /etc/portage is a dir

ah, you can select the browser in Xfce config

cd into it
there should be several files like package.use

Ah, thanks!

as you can see
try eselect profile

ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/whatever /etc/make.profile

Do themes and such exist for xfce4?

uhm, it asks for it

/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop/make.defaults

it's the VSync

ls /etc/portage

bobber205, nope its not in any of them

I don't know then

or maybe HSync, it asks both for vertical and horizontal ranges

they may be default USE flags

i looked in package.keywords mask unmask and use

incorrect

where would that be?

should be just to that "desktop" dir
not to make.defaults

ah ok

shu what As said
eep tablag

what language that is? Gibberish?

select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out is this a generic error or what? any ideas?

also profuse said the same thing

so it's set by the profile

I can't seem to find sync data for my ACER 20" Widescreen LCD

whoo! emerge works

ok and where would that be?

I guess you don't have RTC support
just use the generic entries

w00t

refresh rates don't matter all that much with LCD screens

I want 1680×1050

that you will set by hand

xorg can usually autodetect with EDID

because it has stuff that i wont ever need like openmp and ipv6 and isdnlog and pppd
and i really want to disable those

he got out of sync

again in xorg.con, find modes like "800×600" etc and add "1680×1050"

or… maybe check /etc/modules.d/nvidia
and add there
option SoftEDID=1

I'll just pick 1280×1024 by 60hz
I know my monitor can do 60hz

you can't find the sync ranges on the interwebs?

interblags ;

like AStorm said, refresh rates != important

on CRTs they are right?

AStorm: it's intertubes, n00bs
yes.

i should probally rebuild a new kernel

they are only important for CRT screens any maybe some projectors
yes, with RTC support

how do you _rebuild_ a _new_ kernel?

should I just pick generic nvidia?

(non-LCD ones)

if it has to be _rebuilt_, it isn't new

eh, it's not important
you'll set the driver properly anyway by hand

so can anyone tell me where my "profile" is because i have no clue and its not /etc/profile

use "eselect profile help"

readlink /etc/make.profile
but DON'T ever change the files there
they will be overwritten by the next sync
use /etc/portage/ instead

ello @ll

though canceling use flags is usually done in the way you did it

build failed on mysql-ruby: make: /bin/insstall: command not found

what?

uhoh
I see a typo

you mean minusing them in make.conf

/bin/insstall really? not /bin/install?
yeah

my typo

wth. when I do startx my monitor says no singla
signal

hmm, you're missing some part of autotools most likely
that should've been installed by emerge system
hmmmhmm

I need the GLX module it seems

enable that SoftEDID trick I mentioned

what should I write into my xorg.conf file?

could it be because i had another emerge in jobs? (paused)

would give gentoo-sources, etc

so pppd and isdnlog and openmp is in the default-linux/x86/2007.0?

unlikely

so if i go there i can edit them out right?

check USE=bash-completion

What is the best way to encrypt a harddrive in gentoo?

then emerge bash-completion

ok

that is not recommended

bobber205, some monitors do that when they are put into an invalid mode, rather than going up in smoke.

just minus them in make.conf

what package is autotools in?

autoconf of any version, maybe automake
maybe it's in libtool

well i just looked in there and they are NOT in there

one of these
I'd guess libtool

Now that I have my VPN connection working, how would I go about resolving netbios names on the network?

so i have no clue where they are coming from

from the profile it seems

other ebuilds are working just fine

is my log for X11 http://rafb.net/p/IIt4L652.html

when you install gentoo was there a place where you put your default USE flags? becasue maybe i put those by mistake

hmm
/etc/make.conf only

odd

(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-0
you need the SoftEDID hack I mentioned

SoftEDID?

i guess profuse and ufed are liars

I must have missed that
sorry

/etc/modules.d/nvidia
unlikely

how umerge completely a ebuild?
like wine

after changing it there, rmmod nvidia and modprobe it again

uncomment that line?

if you mean only the app, emerge -C wine
as to the dependencies, it's more complicated

uhm
ty

you can either use some special tool
or, _very carefully_…

do I need NVreg_Mobile=3?

go to wine

teach xmetal depclean

Running emerge –depclean will remove all packages on your system that have no reason to belong there in the first place. Such packages are also known as "orphaned packages", packages that might have been installed as dependency but of which the parent package is removed. Do not use –depclean
if you haven't updated (-uDN world) your system first!

if it's a laptop, then it probably won't hurt

it's a desktop

and may make the card not hang

0.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0400 (rev

AStorm, i think thats more complex =x go to winehq

hmm, not really

anything i can do about the unknown device part?

?

hi
does anyone know the portage name of the alternative ati drivers?

xf86-video-ati

ugh. I put the soft EDID in there and I still got no signal

thanks

you have to rmmod nvidia
then modprobe it again

I did both of those commands

ah, sorry
rmmod nvidia
update-modules

when I did mobprobe it took a couple seconds

then modprobe

oh ok
same thing no signal

you have to fix the refresh rates then

bobber205, i haven't really been following, but if you switched from vga to dvi without restarting your vid card, you'll have to do so. just putting that out there

I wish I could find documentation for my monitor
no vga all the way

shuffle2, lspci gets its human-readable names from /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz — you can edit it yorself or use the update-pciids program to fetch the latest version.

well i just emerged pciutils (haven't even compiled first kernel yet)

w/o .gz

lol
did as you said, and it's recognized

AStorm, it's .gz here.

don't enable USE=zlib on pciutils just yet, it's broken I think

hm, works fine for me.

it will conflict with current hal

ah, that explains why it works fine for me.

but if you're running stable, you should be fine

I need an idea of something to do on 64-bit Gentoo that I can't do on Windows XP Home

I don't have hal on my computer.

you can disable USE=zlib for that package

I want an excuse to boot into Gentoo

in /etc/portage/package.use
hmmm, just do it

I don't really care if it breaks hal.

why must i restart /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to get my net work? otherwise i'll get the "unknow host" error message.

it makes the update fail

what update?

I can probably tune my system, I guess. Get rid of worthless packages, etc

wth. my man for my monitor though it would be handy if the pdfs were only accessible on windows nice job

hm, I guess you could run with vesa driver
if you added vesa to VIDEO_DRIVERS
and installed that driver

would anyone recommend me using icc over gcc since i have an intel processor?

why would I do that?

it will run in slow unaccelerated 2D, but you should be able to read your pdf with epdfview, acroread or something like that

wouldn't I have the same problems?

unlikely

I'll just guess sync ranges until I hit gold

vesa is the common lowest gfx denominator nowadays
it's 60 HZ forced and only some resolutions

oh in xorg.conf is says Driver "vga" I need to change that to nvidia!

oh no, i need the portage tree name of the alternative ati drivers again

yes, or to vesa temporarily

nvm I was looking int the wrong spot

maybe try layman instead, it is a tool for managing overlays

I could boot into windows…. if I really needed to

in a few months everyone will love ATI again

setting vesa should be faster
why?

do I need to recompile anything?

no no, i just need the name, cuz i did not write it down

no, just emerge xf86-video-vesa

new drivers although I shouldn't say more about it

or was that xf86-driver-vesa
That'd be GREAT

wth. no signal again. I changed my horizontal to 60hz.
I just want startx to work

uhm, vertical is usually higher than horizontal

so what should I put?
just a guess is ok

it should be like hsync 30-35 and vsync 60

is preemptible kernel recommended?
it's a desktop, of course

yes, slighlty more interactive w/o loss of performance of stability

tried those numbers and no dice

*or stability

this is extremely irritating

hmmmm, then try the vesa driver and read them
maybe it's trying to run off your CRT
not LCD
get it to run first, then check in nvidia-settings

I don't have a CRT

how about a recommended timer freq?

1000 HZ for a desktop

max res is 1680×1050 @ 60hz

that's not the problem, it sounds weird, the driver may have failed to pick the correct display

so what do I do?

hey, who here knows C++?

many people, just ask

hmm is the probpritary ati driver not working with the gentoo26.22.3 kernel?

check nvidia driver options… hmm

can't build the drivers

I guess, google for them

tried
one sec

I have various services start up in the default "of" rc-update. I have three interfaces on the machine: ath0, eth0 and eth1 Only ath0 is properly configured and actually used. But when various services (like apache) startup, they try to startup eth1. How can I stop this?

ok what drivers options do I use? please list a command

they are slow in updating, maybe you have to unmask the newest one in Portage

I tried nvidia-settigns no go

ok AStorm, i try

I can't remember

are you going to leave Astorm anytime soon? I have to eat supper pretty soon
uare you going to leave Astorm anytime soon? I have to eat supper pretty soon/u

and I don't have the full list

oh man

hmm, probably will go to sleep

oh crap

rc-update del net.eth1 default

is there any reason to keep acpi support in a desktop smp kernel?

this shouldn't be this hard i've never had this much trouble before!

repeat with net.eth0

I would post on the forums but I'll have to wait 48 hrs for a response

it should work ,yes
I suggest update-modules -f

what should?

and a restart
so that you're sure SoftEDID works

It's not listed in default.

I am converting an older driver to take into account a kernel header change. I'd appreciate it if anyone who knows C could take a look at the following: http://www.nopaste.com/p/atatMkvDgb

_other_ services try to start up, and THEY try to start net.eth1

ok i'm rebooting

hmm, do you have 2 network cards?

Only net.ath0 is in default.
3

or any power management support, for that matter

add networking devices to boot runlevle
*runlevel
not default

what is the emerge command that will fix everything? lol, i changed a lot of use flags and am having a lot of broken emerges

omg

Ah.

hmm, if you wish to hibernate

so signal yet again

Thanks, I'll try that.

or suspend

hallo

*no

hmm, emerge -uDN world
afterwards, revdep-rebuild (it's in gentoolkit package)

So, I assume then, that the ath0 will come up first, then when Apache, etc. try to see if there is networking, they will see that ath0 is already active, and won't try eth1?

Thanks

*small tears*

probably

Welp, we'll see.

I gtg for supper

if that doesn't work, then check /etc/conf.d/rc

Anyone interested in my little C problem?

it has some network dependency problems

k

I'll check it
care to pastebin compile errors too?

Let me explain first:
the header has changed the definition of queue_delayed_work so the second argument is a delayed_work struct rather than a work_struct struct.
It will compile, with an incompatible pointer type error — but freezes.

er, whoops

so uh

first, remove the declaration of Task
DECLARE_WORK does it all now

so the issue is how to modify the source code at the top to use queue_delayed_work instead

hmm

and remove that static keyword in front of it

anyone here who's using ati-drivers with 3d desktop?

please explain more - the way it is now, it is using DECLARE_WORK, and compiles (with the wrong struct type, although its the first element in the struct anyway) but freezes on that command.

the driver smells of bad code from looking at that nsippet
I'll pastebin

Oh, I'm sure the code is shitty.
but that's neither here nor there.

language.

ntfs write support says it will only overwrite files that are the same length, nothing else
so what does it actually do?

http://www.nopaste.com/p/an0ouAH3e
except intrprt_routine shouldn't take void *

exactly that

but something else

so…nothing?
heh

you should use ntfs-3g instead of that old driver

well it is 'write support' in the loosest sense of the term.

so… you're killing the definition of Task entirely?

well, that write support allows working on some loopback devices
no, DEFINE_WORK does it
uh, DECLARE_WORK

i used ntfs-3g on my old gentoo install….i saw (NEW) next to ntfs write support and got all giddy

Also, how does that solve the problem that the function I want to call expects a delayed_work instead of a work_struct?

maybe staticise it
which function?

it's not new, it's just out of EXPERIMENTAL after a long time

queue_delayed_work — that's the change. this code was written when it took a work_struct, and now it takes a delayed_work

ntfs-3g is so much better than that driver
check what delayed_work is and you'll be enlightened

Yes, I saw that. Like I said, it does compile, but it crashes–I suspect this is because its a work_struct instead of a delayed_work_struct

hmm, check that intrpt_whatever function
it has an incorrect signature I think

what should i be checking for?

not sure, I'm a kernel patcher, not a developer
although I am a programmer
#kernel maybe?

Yeah. sigh…
Actually, don't I want "Task" itself to be static?

hi guys I have pidgin
but I wanna delete the profile and the config files of my account
but there is not /home/user/.pidgin directory can you tell me where are stored the config and profile files?

rm -r ~/config/.pidgin ?
or maybe ~/.gaim still
find will find it
if you know some file name

Actually, just killing the definition line for Task made it compile!
and load!
it runs!
thanks!

send me a beer then ;P

where are you?

just jesting, too far to make that profitable probably
Poland

No can do, but let me know if you try to emigrate.
Actually, since you were so very helpful with that and are a kernel patcher…. do you know the scsi headers well?

hehe, maybe, some day
not really, never delved into that subsystem
if you asked me about some filesystem, I could help probably
but not on scsi

thanks, AStorm
anywhere you can suggest I turn?

LKML if you're not in a hurry

Wha'ts that?

Linux Kernel Mailing List

ewwww

emphasis on 'if you're not in a hurry'

other than that, check /usr/src/linux/Documentation for that scsi list
they have one

this is such a simple thing — they got rid of one header upstream, and I just need to know how to replicate the erased functionality

I don't know the address

its a change in the last kernel…they got rid of scsi_request.h

I usually do that by grepping

You would think when they deprecate and then remove one set of symbols they might bother with the minimal documentation of "Use x instead of y from now on"

no, but they usually just split the header
not remove it entirely
or just move things around
and then you can stumble on replacements

I tried grepping, the symbols are still in the underlying .c files, but not in any header

are they static?
if not, you can cheat
they were probably removed from the header, because there were no in-kernel users

you mean copy over the header from an earlier kernel version?

really do ask about it on LKML, they may put them back somewhere
no, I mean add prototypes temporarily to your own header
*local header

how do you figure out why a New package is being emerged on a update world?

I figure I can do that, but the underlying functions are going to change in each version. this whole interface was clearly deprecated.

but there is not /home/user/.pidgin directory can you tell me where are stored the config and profile files?
guys I tryed deleting .config/.pidgin
but it continue showing me my accounts

emerge -p (or -a) will display something like [ebuild N ]

yes, I'm doing that, I want to know *why*

Oh, and does anyone know much about using iscsi now that the modules are built in and the ebuilds don't work?

so really ask about it, how to do that properly. I suggest that linux-scsi list

what is depending on the package (in this case gaim) that requires it

equery depend mabe?
*maybe?
maybe with some option too
you'd need a reverse dependency
other than that, you can try emerge -p –tree and see

Astorm how can I delete my pidgin profile? (there is not any ~/.pdgin dir)

probably still named ~/.gaim (mv it don't rm -r it)

yea I think equery depends did it

Fieldy there is not ~/.gaim

no idea, for me it's ~/.gaim

hmm, maybe find | grep something
like, grep for your account name

Astorm and Fieldy where can I ask for the dir?

cd ~

well, if it's not ~/.gaim or ~/.pidgin, you don't have it
even with pidgin 2.1.1 it's ~/.gaim for me

find | xargs grep -H something you think is in pidgin config files

can sopme tell me hoe i can get filezilla

btw if you go to that version back up your ~/.gaim … it nicely hosed my contact list
it's no longer in portage due to major long standing security issues
faq filezilla

No such faq

hm thought i thought it the bug #. let me find it

Yes, it's an unsupported piece of software

i wold seteal for one like that or some thing
im useinf gftp and it sucks

so google for it and install by hand

i have all i founs was the windows verson for that

so use lftp instead

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89290 has details i guess, i didn't look at it all. looks like someone made an ebuild.

Astorm Im on ~ now how can I delete the pidgin profile?

.exe fils

or curl if you only want to download
d4x is nice too

but i wouldn't count on filezilla

d4x = Downloader for X

i use it on my ubuntu sys and it workd nice there

it may allow an attacker to gain control of your system
I guess you can stand that risk - install it by hand then, should be easy

humm
any other one better then gtfp

I'll better go to sleep before I slumber
for uploading or downloading?

is there any way to tunnel git via ssh? I'm behind I firewall and can't emerge compiz, but I could ssh to machines I have control of outside the firewall

uploading to my webspace
nothing big

aslag-: yes, as anything
mhm, I'd try lftp

i just dontknowhow to use ftp in term

it's a console program, but very easy

guys I tryed deleting .config/.pidgin
but it continue showing me my accounts

type "help" inside and you know everything

ok

pidgin account information is stored in ~/.purple

if you like it, you can use mc for it too (midnight commander)

tnks stick-guy

konqueror and nautilus can upload files too
though they aren't that good at it

http://rafb.net/p/ifLLFM19.html is my xorg.conf and http://rafb.net/p/1SqFyA74.html is my x11 error log file
I am lost on what to do

I'm a big fan of yafc for a command-line FTP client
yafc == yet another ftp client

how do I make it so emerges using git use the tunnel instead of trying the repositories directly?

and there's and ftp extension for Firefox
which is really nice

ohh what one is that

aslag-: hmmmmm

fireftp

I think git has some environment variable for that
aslag-: check its manpages

ok cool let me chech that one
thats for the infor
man be

good night people

git's man pages? why would they say anything about how emerge uses it?

i dont understand some thing when i emerge some thing it dont put it in application window

aslag-: it's not important, emerge passes the variables through
(or you can specify them in make.conf)

any ideas? or do you need more info?

what do you mean by "doesn't put it in application window"?

ah, so whatever git accepts, I can put in make.conf?

yes
i emerge 3 chess games and nothing in games and noting in the menue when i go to add it my self

what desktop manager are you using?

gnome and kde

no ideas?

did you ask a question?

so no-one knows how to use iscsi now that its built into the kernel and the ebuilds don't work?

http://rafb.net/p/ifLLFM19.html is my xorg.conf and http://rafb.net/p/1SqFyA74.html is my x11 error log file
whenever I try to run startx my monitor says no signal

hellooooooooo
can anyone remember what the portage command is that makes it carrying emerging other packages if there is an error?

what does "no valid modes for 1280×1024 mean?"

emerge –resume

kinda like an automatic –resume –skipfirst

emerge –resume –skipfirst
oh
i don't know

when you are doing an emerge overnight

it means that it can't find a colour depth that works

and you dont want it to stop

I'm not aware of any emerge options that tell it to continue upon failure

I am getting Unable to get display device CRT-0's EDID; cannot computer DPI from CRT-0's EDID

is there any way to extract files from a corruted cpio archive ?

Unable to validate any modes, falling back to the default mode "nvidia-auto-select

stick-guy: it's something like –autoresume or something

that's bad right?

hmm, I've never seen that, and it's not in the emerge man page, so I'm afraid I don't know

ok it's saying my ACER is AL2016W (CRT-!) but all the warnings are about can't read stuff (EDID) from CRT-0

stick-guy: ok, cheers

When I try to update world it wants to install kdesktop-3.5.7, but then tells me 3.5.6 (which I don't have) is blocking kdebase-kioslaves-3.5.7: pastebin.ca/668708

how do I move I move it to CRT-1?

what have you got under Device?

I have a screen called screen one that has "ACER" for monitor
and that's what screen is used
http://rafb.net/p/ifLLFM19.html is my xorg.conf

trying to install Gentoo after years away from it. Grub is giving me a hard time… I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong - root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.22-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/sda4
boot partition is sda1, / is sda4

you got any IDE drives?

petteyg - just CDROM
everything else is SATA

take off the /boot at start

How do I change the ip addresses for my LAN (i.e. from 192.168.* to something else)

change the default depth to 24, see if that helps

that's what it's at now did nothing

if you have root (hd0,0) is your boot partition, then you're actually in / on that partition, not /boot until the kernel is already loaded

hmm, k

ah ok, I'll give it a shot

change the setting on your dhcp server

Anybody know why the KDE 3.5.7 update is uncooperative?

thanks petteyg! Grub is happy now

i have to ask, are your horizsync and vertrefresh values correct?

Thanks, what is the other commonly used LAN addresses?

now to get KDE installed…

no idea. I have a ACER 20" Widescreen LCD. there's no documentation on it
I can't find the specific values
I'm sur ethat's the problem but I have reasonable values
I'm in XP right now to see if I can't determine what it's using

what are* Sorry I didn't phrase that right

what's the model number?

don't acer have a product page or something?

it's a ACER2016WBBD

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255; 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255; 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Do you have a reason for wanting to use a different buy dedicated ip range?

anyone know a way to find out the speed a 10/100Mb NIC running at (from the shell)?

get bwm-ng

I just want to see if it's up at 10Mb or 100Mb

Yea, a network I vpn into uses the 192.168.* block.

not monitor bandwidth

ah
i see what you mean

I can't find the info I need for my LCD
it'll say all the other info *except* the frequencies very odd
which is "screen refresh rate in windows" vert of horiz?

refresh is measured in hz

I've found maximum just by searching google for acer 2016 hz khz… it does at most 75Hz x 85KHz..

75 for vert? and 85?

okay for KHz try 30-85

vert or horiz?

try 55-75 for Hz

which?!
hor or vert?

I have an ssh tunnel setup for git, but I can't get emerge to use git://localhost:2222 (The tunnel) instead of the real repositories. How can I fix that?

horizsync 30-85

it says in xorgconfig which is which… one will be in KHz and one in Hz

vert 55-75

ok I did horizsync 30-85 and vert 55-75 and I still get no signal

hello, why are there both rss and rdf, what's the difference? rss is version 2.0 and rdf is 1.0?

any different messages?

http://rafb.net./p/q6PwiB73.html

change 30-85 to 30-82

I find that I always have better luck when I remove the horiz and vert sync lines completely, and let X figure it out on its own

I'll try that

stick-guy: agreed

there were three pages that disagreed, one was 30-85, one 30-82, and one 31-81

nope. no signal still w/ no lines
no vaues I mean
I changed 85 to 82 didn'twork

try just commenting out those lines
unless you removed the entire line, that would do the same thing

I commented the line out

ook
minus one o

what's the error message?
you have an lcd, you shouldn't need those lines

I have no error, it's just "no signal" on my monitor

What subnet mask should I use?

bizarre, do you have your screens setup correctly?

your graphics card has two vga or dvi connectors doesn't it

is my xorg.conf" http://rafb.net/p/ifLLFM19.html
it has one dvi and one vga.
I have the vga plugged into the dvi with a converter
I get weird video issues in windows with just dvi

plug it into the vga

HorizSync 31-80 VertRefresh 55-75 should work on any monitor that can do 1024×768 or greater

that is according to the number of addresses you would like in your subnet - easiest is to do entire 24 bit space unless you require multiple subnets

I just took my vga plug and plugged it into the actual vga port on my video card

yup

I'll have to reinstall my video drivers in XP but that's no biggie

more to do with various routes for the one subnet, really… but yes, Ramblurr, you're probably safe to use /24

and it works now?

omg. now I can't see anything on my screen!!!
wtf

um, no.

this is bs
maybe my vga doesn't work on my video card that would be it

changing the port on the card or monitor does NOT require reinstalling video drivers…

I'm not sure
oh yea it does in windows
doesn't work otherwise
let's forget that subject

wrong.

ok w/e

is there a good voice recatins program out there

recatins?

well to get video output after a switch in WINDOWS after the bootup logo I have to reinstall

umm
recation

I Am about to go freakin' crazy
this has taken me about 15 hours of work so far

voice to text thing

did you restart after switching the ports?

yes
nothing
no BIOS nothing

does your monitor have a input selector on it?

since im new and am used to debian what is the emerge equivlant of apt-get upgrade

possibly

nn-gentoo: emerge -aNuv world

but w/ no input I can't see the menu

try turning the monitor off and on, then
it should detect which port the input is on when it powers on

shouldn't matter. it's vga either way. one way is w/ a converter the other is straight vga
what bout my video card? could it be being dumb?
my screne brightens up a bit then just stays black
no BIOS screen *nothing*
I'm about to toss the thing

[blocks B ] sys-fs/device-mapper-1.02.19-r1 (is blocking sys-fs/udev-114-r2)

it'd be easier to almost buy a new monitor then go through this for the next 4 week s

?

I am about to go nuts

i think the problem is that xorg is expecting a monitor on the vga port, and it's obviously not getting one, for whatever reason…

is there a way to say dvi?

ok so that showed the packages what builds them
all

well that is what would be CRT-1

how do I specify that?

but it's setting CRT-0 as the main monitor
i can't remember, lol

nn-gentoo: quickpkg device-mapper && emerge -C device-mapper && that-other-command-given-to you .. will make a binary package of device-mapper (in case you end up needing it), then removes it, then tries to do the world thing again
nn-gentoo: btw you should do an emerge –sync before all of this. updates your index of available software.

so 0 is vga and 1 is dvi?

seems to be

so how do I specify 1?

hm. not sure myself, might want to ask #xorg

Fieldy, you in flood?

The vmware site is currently not allowing any downloads due to "important user improvements and upgrades to the website" *sigh* I don't suppose anyone knows another place I can download the 64 bit tarball of vmware workstation 6?

I asked I hope I get a response sometime today

no… I had the 32-bit one on my other drive before it crashed a couple weeks ago

ah, try putting Screen 1 in the Device section of your graphics card

I have that still.. just not what i need darnit Damn thier eyes

nn-gentoo: no

anyone know which software is required to connect to a vmware server?

Messages for package sys-apps/hal-0.5.9.1-r1:

Err…
Oopsies.

Hi

what do I need to type?

I've got a little problem
7 2007] [error] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: Could not resolve host name fstudent.diabel.ztpnet.pl –
??

what bout viewport?

while doing what?

what does that do?

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Okay so apparently I'm supposed to build sys-apps/pciutils without the zlib USE flag. sys-apps/hal failed because of this. I ran nano sys-apps/pciutils and there was nothing in it.

that host doesn't resolve here either. try #gentoo-apache

uh, just try Screen 1 for now

so what do I type exactly I am new to xorg

gentoo-apache ? ;o

identifited screen 1 ? I have no idea

yep, /join #gentoo-apache

on the line after Driver "nvidia"

ok
thx

?
what do I type? I know where to type

hang on, i'll show you

whats a good mp3/ogg player. Amarok/rhythmbox seem to be a bit overkill for me.

ok

tagsoup I really like xmms; but apparently the developers abandoned it

audacious is much simpler and smaller and doesn't depend on kde

um… the use flag

well, audacious is a fork of beep-media-player, which itself was a fork of xmms

pack.keywords

forking forks

package*
amaroK pwnz

make that section look like that http://rafb.net/p/qLmMEG94.html

no zlib in make.conf USE flags.

did it
ooh now an error!

anyone know what emerge means by cairo needs the x flag set?

screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section
devices detected but none match those in the config file

it means it needs the x use flag

heh i kinda figured that… how do i do that?

ok, but if i liked xmms it sounds like audacious is the one to use

When I try to update world it wants to install kdesktop-3.5.7, but then tells me 3.5.6 (which I don't have) is blocking kdebase-kioslaves-3.5.7: pastebin.ca/668708

clear that stuff when i dual boot into linux (osx sucks..)

I even tried 8 bit color and still nos ignal

i wish there was something i could use to play my girlfriends iTunes DRM files, my macbook is a registered pc on her account all leggit and obviously no software is going to play

/etc/portage/package.keywords

package.use you mean

probably

what now?

assuming I mean anything at all

i'm trying to think of something

does ACPI have anything to do with this?
I tried switching my cord to the VGA one w/ no converter and then doing startx
now I don't get "can read EDIT for CRT-0
!!

i thought we asked you to try that earlier…

sorry
I am very new @ this still I may have been afk for a moment and didn't see the message

that was when you said you had no bios or anything come up when you restarted

sorry

what were you trying then?

I dont 'know
too long ago
I turned the machine off then switche ports then boot
*booted

hmm, well if you're getting a signal from the vga port now, your original config should work

#xorg is like dead
well that's the thing. I'll type startx then switch the cord. then I'll press enter. my screen goes active, does some auto configing then I don't see anything
it doesn't go idle though

have you taken the Screen 1 out?

I can't see my terminal or anything really when the vga cord is plugged in
no

Heyya

take that out, then startx
and it should work with vga

oh wait yes Id id
it was out the whole time
commented out

ok
paste your log now

I'm trying to emerge kdm but it says the package is blocked and is in conflict with kde-konquerer 3.5-*

xdm snafu http://pastebin.ca/668748 I've logged into wmaker for two years, all config files are intact

one sec
http://rafb.net/p/r8Six523.html

Quick question. I've played with debian and ubuntu a tad, but I'm overall pretty inexperienced with linux. I'm fairly bright, and a quick study when I devote myself. How long would it take, do you think, from the time I burned gentoo isos to the time I had starcraft running under
wine?

sorry, this is the bottom half of xdm.log. none of the users can log in from xdm any more
a week tops. takes a while to compile and set up proper

ok. instead of vga I did "Standard VGA" I can see KDE now!
but it's like 200×100 pixels or somerthing really bad
I had to switch it to 8 bit!

randreas69, jeeeeez, I was hoping "three hours".

"build time", that's all

that's cos it's not really using your nvidia stuff now

gentoo is a from source distro. binary distros might get you there that fast, even those, i doubt it. a week is a bit extreme i think, give it 2 or 3 days

randreas69, I see.

yeah but that means the nvidia is the problem not my serverlayout stuff
right?

Fieldy, though I'm no real fan of ubuntu, I'm sure I could get that up and running in about an hour

maybe, not sure myself
gentoo is nice once set up, the install can be tedious. understandably some folks aren't up for it

well it's something to do with how it's being handled, yeah

Fieldy, do I have to literally leave the laptop out of commission for a week? Do I have to babysit it?

depends how you fared with binary distros. however, if you started from scratch..

nah like i said a week is a bit extreme. babysit i wouldn't think so no.
use the livecd/dvd install and you will have an OS to use while it's all happening

Fieldy, ok, so the compiling process takes days? It's not like, put in a new command every three hours or anything? You set it up, then let it go for that long?

I am ermerging nvidia-settings

hang on

ok

can take days if you're talking a slowish machine and massively huge stuff like kde/gnome

a basic desktop is set up in a couple hours (built)

try starting xdm with the nvidia enabled again

can I go ahead and emerge the nvidia-settings

Does anyone know of a way to emulate NetFlow generation with GNU/Linux?

xdm?
startx?

Fieldy, hm. Still, no babysitting, right? I enter the appropriate commands, and it simply compiles without further instruction until it's mostly through the huge waiting process?

anyway i have to go to work, give it a try, at least then you can say you tried

Fieldy, will do, thanks

I have a problem with my wireless setup under gentoo; for some reason after about 10-30 mins of being connected I can't connect to the network. If I restart net.wlan0 nothing happens, it says it connects to the wireless network and recieves an IP address yet I'm unable to ping google.com. The
only way I can reconnect is to reboot..

I have apache and iptables firewall.. why can't i get through using the public ip from inside the lan?

well you know startx only starts something really minimal, i want you to try xdm, or kdm or gdm, whatever you have

I didn't have problems running nvidia. I have to startx — :1 to work around xdm. perhaps I've lost some helper programs?

i hated the first time i installed. but once i had a running system with everything i wanted, i was real happy. especially with the flexibility (compile features in or out as you please), and not having anything more than I wanted.
good luck

because according to your log file everything is detected and working correctly now

Does anyone here use iscsi?

Fieldy, thank you

yeah seems like it huh?

Fieldy, hopefully this channel can link me to helpful documentation and so on if I become lost (which I will.)
Fieldy,

I think my video card may not like the vga port it's never work
*worked

i've been using linux/bsd for about 8 years at home and for servers, this is the best host support community i've seen ok gone

well the video card is getting data from the monitor through that port

Fieldy, that's what I heard gentoo ftw… take care at work.

it is a pretty good support community — except how is it that no-one here uses iscsi?

and it's also setting the right resolution, at 32bpp

surely someone must know hwo to get it to work now that the kernel has changed to break the ebuilds…

heh

yeah. but windows hates it too

I have wmaker in .xinit at home which worked for years, now I can't log in from xdm. What seems to be wrong?

I would prefer not to have to change what port I'm using

.xinitrc*

How do I compile ant-core? 'emerge ant-core' fails. http://rafb.net/p/CeObsW15.html

When I try to update world it wants to install kdesktop-3.5.7, but then tells me 3.5.6 (which I don't have) is blocking kdebase-kioslaves-3.5.7: pastebin.ca/668708

Or… how using portage can I figure out which app wants ant-core?

make sure all kde is built modular

it is

well then i can only think of trying to select Screen 1, and then having to trick it into believing that Screen 0 is there too

equery b ant-core
oh wait

I am going to see Sulis is nvidia-settings has anything to offer me

equery depends ant-core ?

sure, try it

Doesn't equery depends return the shared objects that are depended on?

Avast, I recently reinstalled Windows on a NTFS portion I had set aside on my hard drive - but now I get an "Unable to load operating system" error when I boot my computer (after toggling the boot flag so the NTFS partition wasn't flagged and my /boot partition was)

http://pastebin.ca/668748

there should be a way to do this I'm sure of it

I haven't touched my linux partitions, and they were working perfectly when I installed windows.

yeah I've only used belongs for specific binaries that I can recall, don't have access to root atm (at work), or I'd play around

omg. gtk is emering that takes forever

you could try putting something like this in, and then having 7600gt-1 in your Section Screen under Device
http://rafb.net/p/HugDXw36.html
you know you won't be able to use a gtk app without X right?

I guess I have time… it's been a few weeks since I could compile with javac…. I think the problem is the JAVACFLAGS="-source 1.4 -target 1.4" COMPILER="" (I don't have a 1.4 jdk installed atm.)

yeah
oh you're right
I though tit was command line
can I just kill this emerge then?

yeah

boom gone
thanks!

Can somebody give me a hand? I'm getting a "Unable to load operating system" error when I boot

Have you troubled with grub-install?

I don't have more than one screen does that hurt me?

it shouldn't

No, I had gentoo working fine - but I installed Windows on an NTFS partition, and then after windows booted automatically I changed the boot flags so my /boot partition was the only one with a boot flag
and now I get that error.

that doesn't work Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section
wow that really screws things up

When print the partition layout in fdisk, it does post that "Partition 1 [my NTFS partition] does not end on cylender boundry", and the next partition is /boot

where in the nvidia settings could I look to see what it's trying to out the vga port?
and not the dvi one?

you'll need to install grub into the MBR again. Either with grub-install or the grub command prompt

because Standard VGA works

Aha, exellent, this is what I wanted to confirm.

anytime I put in Screen 0 or 1 i get "screen 0 not found detelting

I didn't touch any of the conf files recently, has something changed? emerge xorg-x11 pulled the font package and that was it. xdm won't log in for me

wwo gentoo forums and #xorg are doing nothing
*wow

try paying them then

lol yeah

With Windows XP proper + Linux… it's best to fdisk a /dev/hda as ext for your boot partition… then let windows create its NTFS partition on the second primary partition… then use your third and fourth primary partitions for swap and root. The reason I put NTFS in #2 is because it's in the
lower 1024 sectors of the disk and because I still want a /dev/hda1 /boot…. But… once XP sets your MBR, you can either override
with GRUB… or configure the Windows Loader to boot the grub in pp1.

try putting all this in over what's there http://rafb.net/p/rnN3JR22.html

ok. when I add the screen stuff to my video card sections I will get that "screen 0 not found detelting messsage"
oh wait there' s a screen 0 section now lol sorry

lol

hello

Hello

i have read the handbook and the docs several times and i can't seem to find out why i keep getting circular dependencies. I'm comfortable compiling by hand from source but im sure im missing something dumb

same error
I added in all that code I stillg et Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section

How many use flags have you added before circular dependencies/

talk about weird

yeah…that's strange

hey
how can I tell HAL to recheck all my hard drives so that it can mount the new ones to /media/ (I'm using KDE)

I looked at the wiki page for the drivers a no go
ok I tried vesa and what do you know it came up too
i can see kde

Someone with experience with jabberd2??

quite a few, i thought it was part of getting deps to be installed, so i added all the ones i thought i would use in a packed enlightenment setup. it looked as though it was labeling ALL the deps as circular and unresolved\

in Control Center for my display my refresh rate is 76hz

Well this kinda sucks, chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash outputs "chroot: cannot run command '/bin/bash': Exec format error….

with most drivers you'll probably see that both ports on your graphics card show the same picture, i'm sure that it's just having trouble with that

I know it takes a pretty long time to compile something like gnome or kde in gentoo, but how easy and how clean is the removal?

Well… firstly, the can be emerged over iterations… for example… first successfully complete 'emerge system' before you 'emerge system -u' and before you 'emerge system -uD' and before you 'emerge system -uDN'…. same for world… if you get stuck, either 'rm .revdep*' then
'revdep-rebuild -X' or post a specific error.

yah. if only I knew how to fix it!
do you want to see my xorg.conf?

Is there anyway to port the Novell Suse KDE Menu to gentoo?

hi there

y halo thar!

What?!

I know it takes a pretty long time to compile something like gnome or kde in gentoo, but how easy and how clean is the removal?

I need to tunnel git through ssh; I've got a tunnel setup, but I can't get emerges that use git to use it. How can I change this?

i'm nearly falling asleep, it's half past three in the morning here

well good night
thanks for the help

but sure, show me your conf
lol

lol, maybe not.

does anyone know a good channel where I can learn how to share internet connection between a windows and a linux box through bluetooth?

anybody want to take her place?

stick-guy, that kind of sucks. :/

How do I turn off device initiated responses. I know it's an rc file but I can't remember what it is.

arthurmaciel, why do you hate yourself?

Ok I will try that, it looks like I have some more reading to do. Thanks!

what part of it sucks? Neither one is very difficult to fix

stick-guy, ok
stick-guy, so… I guess "pretty easy" was the answer I was looking for. Hehe. Cool, thanks

hehe
ok

I really do not, but there is no linux for my pocket pc (pda), so I have linux on my lap and would like to share it with the pda running windows mobile 5.

well, it's not actually that easy… you have to emerge -C every single package that came in when you emerged gnome or kde
but a simple bash script can take care of that

stick-guy, right

anybody here using nvidia drivers?

hi, how can i unmask 9999 packages??

lol
what is DDC/CI?

do you mean you want to unmask nine-thousand, nine-hundred and ninety-nine packages, or you want to unmask packages with version number 9999?

last one

ok

The live cd is not for your cpu.

i tried package.keywords with packetname and ** but it's not working

packages with version number 9999 are usually hard-masked as well as keyword-masked. That is, you need to put the package name in /etc/portage/package.keywords *and* /etc/portage/package.unmask

bobber205, a method of sending commands to vesa-compliant monitors.

sorry, that was for coder :/
packages with version number 9999 are usually hard-masked as well as keyword-masked. That is, you need to put the package name in /etc/portage/package.keywords *and* /etc/portage/package.unmask

DDC is either enabled or disabled in xorg.conf for your VGA controller. Usually in /var/log/Xorg.0.log you will see some details about its status.

thx
i try it

bobber205, DDC is the physical interface, CI is the protocol.

is gentoo automatically using udev, or do I need to set it?

stick-guy i put it in package.unmask and package.keywords but it is not working

I'm having trouble chrooting into my linux install in order to reinstall GRUB; "chroot: cannot run command '/bin/bash': Exec format error" is outputted after running chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

Sounds like you've already chrooted, but haven't dropped the stage 3 in /mnt/gentoo

I have two gentoo systems and built a binary package on server1 and want to install it on server2 but it says PKGDIR must be set. I have the .tbz2 file in my home-folder and PKGDIR set to that and it won't take, any ideas?

kc8pxy, easytag is pretty nice.

does anybody here use nvidia drivers?

easytag

The PKGDIR var is where portage puts new packages… you'll want to use http-replicator and rsyncd to sync up portage and your binaries.

I am lots of trouble with them
*having

ReTar the stage3 to the partition and then do chroot to it remember to put the root passwd and fstab back

I've booted a livecd and I'm trying to get into a fully functional gentoo intsall
=-/

Trying to get a machine booted. It has some rather exotic hardware (but is supposedly supported). When I am booting the kernel, when I get to "Probing PCI devices", it just hangs. Ive disabled ACPI, which isnt the issue. I can get it to boot however with pci=off or pci=conf2, but then I have no
PCI devices. Any ideas?

is there a quick way to install this 1 package? it's a bit service impacting for us. Any shortcuts around full blown http-replicator and rsyncd?

mwace; And if you CTRL-ALT-F2 from the livecd and get the root prompt, can't out mount your root fs on /mnt/gentoo and then chroot into it (following the steps in the handbook)

kthk; ergh, I've already got a fully working linux install on /mnt/gentoo - do I still need to extract the stage 3 tarball?

Yeah, man portage. I usually just use full blown http-replicator and rsyncd it's easy.

no

Oh. Damn.

If any system file fail, tar the stage3 back will only put the system back to a full installation again.

um i need help with updating my system?

what does CRT-0 and CRT 1 mean?

Is there anybody maintaining the folding@home ebuilds at this point? The x86 is 5.02 while 5.04 has been out forever and the 5.91 beta ebuild seems unfinished

but i cant paste here the problem is blocked packages

The NVIDIA Linux Kernel Driver uses those identifiers if you have 15 pin VGA cables plugged into ports VGA 1 and VGA 2.

I have 2 drives on my computer both sata. 1 drive has ntfs/ext3/swap/ext2 partition on it and I can read all of them fine from windows but my second drive is an entire ext3 partition and Im unable to get the windows ext2 driver to recognize it as such

is there a line in Xorg.0.log that I can read to tell me which CRT it's outputting too?

display 0

in xorg.conf?

Spend a week or two with 'bzless /usr/share/documentation/nvidia-…'

hence the Xorg.0.log

(II) NVIDIA(1): Assigned Display Device: DFP-0

ah mine says CRT-0 I need CRT-1

I think you meant to join #windows

so play with the UseDisplayDevice option.

does that go in the device section for the card?

here is the error that is bugging me http://filebin.info/bin2/update1-err.txt

On my GeForce 4 MX 460, CRT-1 is the VGA port furthest from the motherboard.

that is one place where you can put it.

bobber205, this is all covered in the README.

okay, I feel like an uber n00b for this strange problem I'm getting for my grub not loading correctly

where is that readme

i'm installing gentoo on a "normal" desktop. is there any reason to enable the cryptographic api?

generally, if you don't know what it is, or don't know why you'd need it, you don't

bobber205, portage installs it to /usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers*/README.bz2. It is also available on the nvidia website.

anyone have any ideas on checks for my mobo's bios not using my IDE correctly when i have already run a low level check on the drive's consistancy but still get an error # 25?

You could 'emerge lshw' or check your dmesg.

hi i am having a problem in setting default runlevel to GUI mode (run level 5). I have alreadt changed inittab to suit this. Do i need any more setting to work this out ?

Whats the other package? Have you considered unmerging the conflicting package?

mwace, it seems like =kde-base/konqueror-3.5*
Which I don't want to unmerge.

are you doing a meta kde install?

please people!

I did emerge kdebase

I am desperate for a solution

Now I'm emerging kdm

so am I for my chroot troubles =-/

looks like you'll have to unmerge konqueror then, unless you want to emerge kdebase-startkde etc

hello ppl i have a problem can anybody please help ?

binary compatiility issue…

I've been working on thi since before lunch

Oooooooh!
Aha thats its!

with only a break to eat

use file to check it, and see whether the livecd supports binaries of that type?

I grabbed a livecd from another gentoo user in the dorm next to me, this has to be an x86 disk and I'm running on AMD64

SidGod, that's not how you normally do it in gentoo, most people use the xdm init script.

Say you're using livecd froma different architecture
there you go

Thankyou so much for pointing out the possibility there! Gragh, time to buy some CDRs and burn an AMD64

I can't even figure out how to unmerge konquerer now. emerge -C konquerer doesn't exist. Can you even unmerge konquerer if using KDE?

ok. I will *again*
I've posted about 100 documents on rafb today

rafb doesn't care

I can read the documentation but I don't really get much of it

wilymage: I've unmerged all my jdk's and jre's and pulled in blackdown 1.4 and sun 1.6.. java-check-environment is consistent.

somebody in #xorg said its nvidia specic documentation I need
xorg.conf I mean

wilymage: I don't even think an 'emerge -e dev-java/ant' will fix it.

weird, does the log give any more info?

did you check the build log it posts
wilymage wins

Is it OK to simply use the "mv" command to move an email out of a maildir directory, or is a special command needed to update some kind of maildir index?

The NVIDIA Linux Kernel Driver specific device section is in the xorg.conf… all the options are found with 'bzless /usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-~/README.bz2'

http://rafb.net/p/cpcBtj51.html = my Xorg.0.log file and http://rafb.net/p/5q9Hj994.html is my xorg.conf file

Given (s)he's been at this for hours, it might be prudent to use the 'nv' driver to establish that screens, displays, etc. are configured correctly first.

steveno: The build log shows the same output I pasted. I don't know if it's a class paths directory issue… or a bad directive with JAVACFLAGS="-source 1.4 -target 1.4" COMPILER="" since COMPILER is empty.

your over my head now, sorry

whats the first thing dmesg says when you turn on your PC?

I'll post my device section. http://rafb.net/p/Ws2kE613.html There are also some environment variables to enhance visual performance which I add in /etc/profile.

whoa. ok

according to the code
it looks here Main.class.getResourceAsStream("/org/apache/tools/ant/version.txt");
or dies
} catch (IOException ioe) {
16 throw new BuildException("Could not load the version information:"
Bizarre.

bassinboy, PCI configuration, probably.

I'm gonna have to support java on gentoo… now that it's broken.

so the trick is "UseDisplayDevice "CRT-1" right?

I broke it, I hope someone can fix it. :p
No tricks, only treats…

lol thanks I needed that laugh

bobber205, well, with proper xorg.conf option syntax and correct quoting, yes.

yeah. I had extra quotes

just further reason for me to believe that java servlet hosting is the spawn of Satan, and should not have been named after something so divine.

lol

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_Complete_%28includes_dmix%29#Preparing_Kernel_2.6 says to mark alsa as a module. is there a way i could build it all into the kernel?

sweet

anyone run into problems using Gentoo 2007.0 and OpenLDAP Auth?

more to the point, why do you feel you need to?

shuffle2, you can, but some drivers sometimes don't work quite right.

lol

java is NOT my spawn, k thx

becuase hopefully my sound would never get messed up i rarely upgrade kernels once installed (don't tell!)

Java can kick ass… even on Windows XP… getting the SDK running usually is just for me an issue of managing class paths… but it seems I have no idea again, why http://rafb.net/p/6KWurK51.html

pfft you're not satan, satan wouldn't use KDE. he would, however, force others to, so perhaps that's your angle.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU FIXED IT!
dude. I have to paypal you a couple bucks
what's your paypal?

me?

seriously
UseDisplayDevice did it

donate it at gentoo.org

ok
*dances*

The issue you're having seems to be something to do with InputHandlers … I can't put my finger on it, though..
