well.. i emerged ndiswrapper again, now when i load the module the system locks up

yeah but too late i did it in X

thats on a dual core x2 5200

love screen btw
i got a 2.4 Ghz p4

you can detach next time from $xterm

oh yeah that too

then re attach from tty's

scren is leet

yea
well um leet?

screen=elite

picked up some with .so.1
leet!=cool

could it be the 4Kstacks thing in the kernel? because debian also had that.. but i didnt have any probs with ndiswrapper

i think my proccessor is semi 64bit

without any debug info, it's hard to tell anything.

wouldn't that make it 32bit?

doesn't matter unless your environment is 64 bit

whats TLB in relation to cpu?

why does nv driver work for me in ubuntu but not gentoo?

true, but.. i cant really give debug info when the system completely stops responding

cause i have 64… something
like mem registers/tables i dunno

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_Lookaside_Buffer

Hey folks, what does everyone think of digikam? What would you all suggest for an alternative?

unless there is a log of some sort?

lemmie fix my resolution and emerge firefox and ill check that out seren

ndiswrapper writes to /var/log/messages

gphoto2
FiveFlat:
sorry

you like that kde?

i'll take a look there

but if your not too picky try out picasa

Well that, I like KDE

isnt that for image finding?
picasa

i got it
emerge -av $(for pkg in `equery -q -C depends perl` ; do echo -n "=${pkg} " ; done)

in that case, I dunno — I'm a gnomer, and seren seems like one too

I have Picasa, but it's difficult for viewing images, etc

gphoto2 is good if you dont mind gtk

emerge -av1 perhaps

what's wrong with gtk?

hey i need help.. i have a nvidia 8600 and when i start the nvidia driver i get a load of fuzz then just a cursor in the middle of the screen
appears to freeze up

nothing unless you use kde
well to me

account on

gtkam is the gtk frontend for gphoto

Ah! Would that be a good reason behind my mplayer screwing up so much? because I have KDE?

anyone else here got 8×00 nvidia card?

no

so then why would I not like gtk with KDE?

i mean some people dont like to mix, kde sticks to qt etc deps get bulky etc etc

sorry
Ah, okay

is it possible to program and run applications using the svgalib while running X?

it says "windows driver requestion too many (256) map registers"
*requesting

gtkam just requires gtk libs, that's about all
it's not a 'gnome' app if you get what i mean

heyy anyone around?

also this "no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted"

RichW^: what's the question?

yeah, I get what you mean. I'm emerging it right now. gonna try it out. I can alway unmerge it if I don't like it

the nv driver dont work with my 8600.. just errors out.. il try and get some output hang on

would upgrading the kernel help possibly? im running.. 2.6.19-gentoo-r5

8600 support looks terrable though

extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0""

ive managed to get in with vesa driver
thats a pretty crappy driver though
very basic

how do i resolve? is it as simple as just adding "RANDR" "enable" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

do you have libXrandr installed?

friendly12345, yep

this error occurs when starting x right?

I would try an older version of the windows driver, if anything

friendly12345, yeah, probably…i noticed it when trying to resize my desktop

hm alright

do you have randrproto as well?

friendly12345, yes i do

these will take a while to download.. (damn slow netgear site)

what card? Nvidia?

friendly12345, yep, 8500gt iirc

also what version of xrandr is installed?

friendly12345, 1.2.1

the NVIDIA driver doesn't support RandR 1.2 yet
…unless I'm mistaken

friendly12345, dunno, i'm using 100.14.11, and iirc i had RandR working for a while

1.2 ?

that i'm not sure about

you may find this thread relevant: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-June/025133.html

friendly12345, thanks, i'll check it out

How do I disable the zlib use flag?

Toby, globally or per package?

ok brb

for a package
trying to install gnome

Toby, edit /etc/portage/package.use

and it's telling me to disable zlib

i use flagset

read the handbook or the portage manpage

dont know how to fully use it

ok thx

atom/package-name string of use flags here……e.g. dev-db/mysql innodb minimal blah blah blah

darn still stuck in 640×480
this is nutz

thank you

Toby, you should still read the gentoo docs though…give you a better understanding of it all

check your X config, to see what the max resolutions set are

nvidia works but doesnt show splash… nomatter what modes i put it stays at 640×480
ive been messin with xorg.conf all night

oh.. that is odd

I tried. I've been trying to get a working system for two days now

nokidding

ah well thx again

hey all, i have a really "stupid" question, but what is the difference between emerge system and emerge world?

brb

maybe i need to enable Edid or whatever its called in the kernel

system is basically what's in the stage3 tarball, ie toolchain, package manager and what they need to work. world is everything you've ever asked to be installed

not sure… they've always just worked for me

would emerge world update the system too?

yes

so why is there emerge system when emerge world would work too? btw, thanks for the help

but if your toolchain will change, you want to do system, then rebuild everything with the new one which is why they suggest both in the gcc upgrade guide

if I understand correctly, the stage3 install = toolchain.
and everything else i install ie, X, gnome, etc is the world?

basically, yeah

loo loo loo compiling a kernel loo loo loo you are too loo loo loo lets get together loo lool oo -butters
heh

ok so I'm looking at this script called "update" that was featured in gwn. If i employ something like that to keep my os updated would that ensure that my system as well as my world kept up to date?

whenever i start or stop apache, i get "Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName"
is this something i need to fix?

brb. have to tend to the wife.

it works weith that error

nope

okay

i wish i could get my dyndns Domain hosting name to work with irc's. whois is that possible?

cause im having trouble getting a VirtualHost to work and i was wondering if that had anything to do with it

I just checked out xgl with subversion into a portage overlay, but I'm not sure how to keep those source files up to date. do I have to manually checkout and re-emerge or will portage somehow take care of it?

if you did it with subversion emerge knows nothing of it

just look for ServerName in httpd.conf if you want to set it

im having trouble finding grub.conf

Debugger__, figured, so to update, update the svn repo and then run emerge xgl?

last i checked is if you got it via svn then u gotta update it via "svn up"

/boot/grub/grub.cong

there is no /boot/grub

Debugger, yeah but then I gotta recompile

i dunno
possibly

vandle, mount your boot drive

i guess it couldnt hurt

partition

TheLorax:

mount /dev/sda1 /boot or /dev/hda1

ahhrg this laptop is so horribly slow

in creating an ebuild, anyone know a good way to determine if PHP was build for apache instead of cgi or cli?

vandel, you find it?

i doubt its as bad as the lappy i have

I'm packaging an app that requires mod_php

400mhz, 128mb RAM..
ive got an older laptop, 70mhz, 16mb RAM lol

i have a 486DX 512MB hd compaq contura lappy w/floppy drive
it stinks
i have like 16mb ram

DeBugger__, do you still use it?

sorta
its not on now

lol

lol what do you do with it?

but i use it to ssh into my other pc's sometimes

well this laptop has XP on it *spews*

i guess that makes sense

had to buy a cardbus eth0 card

gremlin132, it could be worse, my laptop has vista on it

yeah it uses cardbus pcmcia
oldest pcmcia

yuck vista

google compaq contura and u'll see what i mean
410c

yea but noone else has installed linux on it and written anything about it, i almost installed gentoo the other day but when i thoght about the trouble i'd have to go through to get the ethernet card detected prior to installation i said poo poo to that

not to mention the battery doesnt work

this laptop doesnt have a brand

i'll wait till someone else says it works
then i'll do it

fair enough lol

don't wanna bother setting everything up to find out smething isn't supported

yeh

well you never kno it might have a chipset that has fedora linux support

thanks TheLorax

Is there a way to get gtk+ not to depend on xorg-x11?

can you explain that to me, how that works?

I don't want xorg, I use gtk+ with x11 forwarding

i think the ide controller and stuff is all supported. but stuff like the sound might not be

mounting /dev/hda1 /boot makes /boot/grub show up

(not depend on xorg-server, rather)

right now netbsd runs on my compaq contura 410c

vga is the newest nvidia only, the one on all my live cds doesn't work so i need to always exit x and then reconfigure to vesa then startx again

Anyone running Gnome 2.18?

vandle, mount associates a drive/partition with a directory. when you boot your boot partition is not "attached" to the dir. same for cd-roms and stuff.
and usb memory sticks
in windows, when you "safely remove hardware" that's basically unmounting.

is there an easy way to add packages to world without actually installing them (well re-insatlling them), this a a new install via the GTK installer and it seems several of the things it installed (grub, xorg-x11, etc…) are unprotected from depclean

loki_chaos, you could edit the /usr/lib/portage/world file, but I'm not sure if that's recommended.

TheLorax, I think it just clicked in my head
/boot is on a separate partition

Do we have something like Adobe Illustrator?

/var/lib/portage/world**

im quit liking gentoo so far

vandle, right and you need to tell linux what directory corresponds to that parition.

it boots up so fast
quite*
btw, im asking because i wanted to set a grub password
im learning how to secure the system

you can't really secure a system if someone has local access :-/

so dont allow local access

vandle, yeah even if you ahve a grub passworld a liveCD can get in.

TheLorax, I'm setting a BIOS password next, disabling CD-ROM and floppy boot

because a liveCD boots before rub
oh ok

it should be safe, as they are installed and i do want emerge -[pick relevant flags] world to include them

?_AxS_, you there
_AxS_, there?

bios passwords can be reset with a jumper easily enough

this laptops taken like 15mins to install a flash drive *angry*

so i'll lock the machine in a steel case
lol

a tank can break one of those

on a laptop? I suppose you can still take it apart, but at that point just steal the HD and put it in another computer

or a 50 calibre bullet

ll
lol*

hi all, plz check my problem, when i run layman -f http://rafb.net/p/leYTag14.html
i use a proxy server to connect to internet
i use a proxy server hosting to connect to internet

I should have RTFM… depclean tells you how to add them: emerge –noreplace atom

mzbot teach garette gnome

loki_chaos, doh, forgot about that one.

iwlist works
using older driver… ill try iwconfig now

it's ok, still I feel the installer should add them automatically

nope, locks up
anyone got a kernel they reccomend that isnt 2.6.19-gentoo-r5

2.6.20-gentoo-r8?

can i get it from emerge?

yeah

cause gentoo-sources always gives me 2.6.19

what arch are you on?

i686
well, x86 really

2.6.22-gentoo-r1 works for me

my x86 machine is up to 2.6.21

so.. what would i type in emerge then? lol (gentoo noob)

germlin32, no idea. let me check oyu gentoo-0portage, brb

whats the best way to monitor my router's traffic (ports n all)

hey all plz check this error when i run layman -f, http://rafb.net/p/leYTag14.html

gremlin132, checkout http://gentoo-portage.com/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources the versions without ~x86 you should "just have"
try eselect kernel list also

TheLorax, hey all plz check this error when i run layman -f, http://rafb.net/p/leYTag14.html

ah ok.. i know this is going to sound really stupid. how do i do that?
lol

i assume anything user sys-apps is unsafe for depclean to remove also sys-lib?

please tell me you have run emerge –sync and update-eix
….and that you have installed eix

garette, says that link is down, but it's up. can you ping http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/layman-global.txt?

TheLorax, hey man, i use proxy server to connect to the inter net,

uhhh.. i dont know, never used gentoo before

garette, I have no experience with proxies
garette, is this overlay for xgl??

TheLorax, you know anyone using proxy support?

no

TheLorax, no i just installed layman to d/l the overlay enlightenment e17
TheLorax, and am starting it for the first time and its down lol

mzbot, teach gremlin132 emerge –sync

No such faq

garette, not down for me….

installing eix =/

to be able to know what is the latest version available in portage, you'll need to run emerge –sync, as the handbook states

TheLorax, lol

oh… heh

gremlin132, when was the last time you ran that?

TheLorax, man temme temme one more thing, if i add env variables through a file in /etc/env.d/ they will come at startup?

update-eix is required after an emerge –sync if you have eix installed

how might I figure out how gtk+ is pulling in xorg-server?

garette, no idea.

TheLorax, ok nm, thanks anyway

emerge -pv each_dependency_in_the-ebuild
doesn't
but emerge -pv gtk+ does

or if you prefer eix-sync to do both

i just installed eix, and im running emerge –sync now

bbl

glguy, I guess because gtk+ directly depends on xserver

that isn't in the ebuild though, is it?
2.10.13 is the newest amd64 ebuild
and it doesn't mention xserver

theres alot of stuff there =|

glguy, reverse deps for gtk+, http://gentoo-portage.com/x11-libs/gtk+/RDep#ptabs

how might I figure out how gtk+ is pulling in xorg-server? -t

-t doesn't explain how xorg-server is getting lumped in
I tried that
it lumps it in, but doesn't explain why

glguy, gentoo-portage says gtk+ needs libX* stuff and they all need x11-xorg and that needs xorg-server

they don't need x11-xorg though

glguy, yeah they do, http://gentoo-portage.com/x11-libs/libXi/Dep#ptabs

ugh

X use flag ?

nope, libXi doesn't depend on that , chec kth ebuild…

why the $#^# cant i get anything better then 640×480

this used to work

this is driving me nutz

you can use X with out an Xserver

hello

using forwarding

as in gtk+ is not pulling in xorg-server because of the X USE flag?

gtk+ doesn't directly depend on xorg-server, I'm trying to figure out what does that is pulling it in
none of its direct dependencies depend on it either
that's why I'm having trouble understanding this

how I must set GRUB when my partisions are sda1(WinXP installed), sda2 primary, sda3 extended, sda5 swap please? Sorry for my bad english

equery depgraph gtk+ shows that xorg isn't depended on

so you're saying that emerge gtk+ pulls in xorg-server, regardless of whether you have the X USE flag enabled locally or globally?

:-/ no, USE=-X fixes that dependency..
so the USE=X is specifically local X?

whats a good tool for imaging hard drives? and dont say dd because thats not really good enough

mzbot, teach glguy varemerge

hello all, i just did, emerge-websync, and emerge -avDNu, but it unexpectedly ended up showing some errors, and when i rebooted, my desktop is gone, omg!! plz help

Please don't use environment variables on the commandline to direct portage. Portage will forget your settings. Ask me about "environment abuse ACCEPT_KEYWORDS" or "environment abuse USE" for specifics, and read 'man portage' when you get the chance.

I'm not using USE on the commandline!

RichW, in what way is it not good enough?

I don't see where I said I did that

Draconx, it seems to output all the free space and not just partitons

how I must set GRUB when my partisions are sda1(WinXP installed), sda2 primary, sda3 extended, sda5 swap please? Sorry for my bad english

um. why'd you reboot?
teach adq repost

If nobody responds to your question in a channel as busy as #gentoo you should rephrase the question. Maybe the original question doesn't quite make sense, or maybe it's too long to simply scan and reply. Whatever the reason is, just reposting the same question will probably get you the same answer (no answer).

usually X as a USE flag just pulls in xorg-server if it is not installed

af

why?

RichiH, well yes, if you instruct it to copy the whole drive, it will copy the whole drive, whether or not there are partitions there.

Is there a distro agnostic way to findout what window managers are installed?

after doin' an emerge -e system .. should emerge –update –deep –newuse world report anything ?

I have a java GUI app I would like to start at boot in gnome

Skuunky, here is the error http://rafb.net/p/WGlH3A85.html

how can I go about doing it?

I would prefer something more intellegent

Skunky, here is the error http://rafb.net/p/WGlH3A85.html

that seems to be unique to gtk+ of all the packages I have installed

RichW^, I suspect most people use tar for backups.

and the ebuild for gtk+ doesn't even mention the X use flag in the dependencies

not really unique

I have 12 packages installed that use the X flag
gtk+ is the only one that exhibits this behavior

that's because you did not have the use flag enabled for that package did you not?

Skunky, did yiu get the error?

no, I've alwasy had the X flag on
in my make.conf

deptree doesn't mention x server for gtk+ ?

no, as it shouldn't

RichW^, the thing is, if you are imaging a drive, there is no such thing as 'free space'.

ok, so, emerge it again.

Skunky, no its ending up at that error

so?

it should if USE=X is in make.conf / the X use flag is enabled for gtk+

it's just saying it didn't find what it thought it should find in the temp dir, if you emerge it again, it should unpack it into the temp dir again and work fine.

Skunky, so i dunno whats going on my desktop i cant even se any icon, or even do a right clicl lol

*gtk+ package

that has nothing to do with the error message you pasted.

what line of the ebuild pulls xorg-server in?

Skunky, well, i changed some thing in my make.conf would that have affected the desktop thing?

gtk+ only uses the X use flag because it needs cairo to be built with it

wanna see my make.conf?

possible. but since you didn't say WHAT you changed, AND you still have not answered the first question I asked you, I have no idea.

Skunky, what was the question you did ask?

um. why'd you reboot?

Skunky, i actually didint reboot, but shutted down the system and slept, and started it back the next day, as i got frustated with the error!!

does anybody know anything about xmacro (a program for capturing keyboard events and playing them back using a command)?

Skunky, well i have one more doubt, well, to update portage tree, i use emerge-websync, cause i use a proxy server and rsync is not suppoted by proxies lol, lol do that effect?

no.

Skunky, here is my make.conf, there you will find, what i changed, http://rafb.net/p/o8Hi1u78.html, i commened the line which i said i changed to .. now the uncommented line is the older one

but not running dispatch-conf (or etc-update) after you emerged a bunch of stuff would cause problems.

Skunky, i never ran those, (me noob) know nothing compared you guys lolz

so you changed the CFLAGS line?
you didn't read the handbook.

Skunky, i read, but i didnt uderstand whats etc updating and so..

anything along the dependency tree with the X USE flag enabled will mean xorg-server pulled in

so I should file a bug then?

Skunky, yeah i changed the cflgs, now i put back the previous ones, and did emerge -avDNu world, but it still is stopping at that point which i previously mentioned

no, have you tried disabling the X USE flag for cairo?

cairo doesn't pull in xorg-server
it doesn't depend on it with the X use flag
I disabled it on gtk+ only
which doesn't depend on it either… but pulls it in

the X USE flag is enabled for your installed cairo package though, isn't it

yes it is

hence xorg-server is pulled in

and emerge -pv cairo doesn't pull in xorg-server

stop changing your CFLAGS. pick 1 and leave it. either should be fine. emerge –skipfirst –resume should get you past the error you're having right now, but you might die on something else. run dispatch-conf before you re-start emerge. if you don't know what to do with dispatch-conf, read the handbook, or ask somebody else for help, it's 0140 here, I have to get up for work in 3 hours, so I'm going back to bed.

X support has nothing to do with require an X server

bleh downloading new kernel .

equery depgraph cairo | grep xorg says yes

eselect is useful

not on my computer

Skunky, bye, gn

and not if you look at the build

hmm…

what cairo version?

1.4.6

so, when building an overlay, should I be able to dump files into a distfiles directory relatively to that overlay?

yyyyaayy compiling a kernel, the joyyy

my /var/db/pkg/x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.13/DEPEND shows the xorg-server dependency
but I sitll don't understand why
If i figure it out, I'll file the bug, otherwise, thanks for your time

what is a good gtk based cd burning app w/o half a million gnome deps?

you have the X USE flag enabled for cairo, the X USE flag pulls in x11-proto/renderproto, renderproto requires xorg-server

again: emerge -pv renderproto
doesn't pull in xorg-server
at least on my local install… :-/

so does anybody know a way I could record keyboard events a play them back with a command (the program xmacro would, but there's no ebuild)

the renderproto ebuild says inherit x-modular —relevant ?

I'm investigating that now

xcdroast

I don't see any evidence in that .eclass that xorg-server is ever added to the DEPENDS or RDEPENDS
but I could be reading it wrong :-/

what about inherit

inherit eutils libtool multilib toolchain-funcs flag-o-matic autotools ${FONT_ECLASS}
that's from the x-modular.eclass
maybe the font_eclass is
(doesn't appear to either)
I used to use xorg-x11 at one point on this machine, so I think that my dependencies are just confused
I've since removed xorg-x11, this only becomes noticeable if I try to emerge -pev world to see what would have happened

Can someone assist me with graphics please, I am not talking about X either.

what's the question

Does anything control whether a system boots with drives using dma other than hdparm? My drives keep losing their dma settings when I reboot even though I've tried -k1 and/or -K1

friendly12345, could we PM please?

its really annoying .. right now I have hdparm commands in /etc/conf.d/local.start =P I'd really rather not have to do that.

heh
i captured teh flag
all bow to meh
heh

meh indeed.

theres this park across the street

S="${WORKDIR}/${PN}-${PV}${_XORG_RELEASE:+-${_XORG_RELEASE}}" x-modular_unpack_source() { unpack ${A} cd ${S} –is that installing X ?

with a flag

isn't that what /etc/conf.d/hdparm is for?

so i picked the flag rope lock
and raised the flag upsidedown
and relocked it
im pimp

wow, I'm dumb.

aint i teh shiz

I think that that is just because you need the xorg-x11 source files to build the modular libraries

not only did i raise the flag upside down i also picked the lock to it

thanks. dunno why I never looked in there.

ah

eh?
some love wouldnt hurt

yeah, see unpacking not installing

script start fails saying i need to specify my essid in /etc/conf.d/wireless with preferred_aps
so i do
then, script start complains i should use net, note wireless config file, and it fails with the same error
so i do
then, i see preferred_aps syntax is wrong for net
any ideas?

hello?
mygentoo is b0rken

i'm no pro, but you might as well explain your problem

gives me compile errors about "glib/…" not being found

Is this the case of a broken package or am I doing something wrong

with you include glib.h, what is the error
i.e. what do you mean "doesn't work"

"glib.h: No such file or directory"

it's not in your include path, then

sugoi_, yeah, it's not in /usr/include
sugoi_, but it *is* in glib-2.0/glib.h
sugoi_, I have glib installed; is there a special dev package or something I need to install?

you errors are compile errors

sugoi_, that's correct

i'm not sure how to state it for you to make it clear, but it has nothing to do with whatever package you've correctly or incorrectly installed
if the file is there, you can include it
whether it's empty or not

sugoi_, Yes I can include it

i thought you just said file not found

sugoi_, But that library has all sorts of incorrect includes

oh, well that different

sugoi_, I can include glib-2.0/glib.h
sugoi_, These files all came from gentoo packages

i don't dev with glib, but you can add include paths by using -I
this isn't a gentoo issue, it's your include path

sugoi_, no way, gentoo should set this kind of stuff up

haha

seriously

every application you build needs specialized include and library paths set
that's how gcc works
if i use qt, i have to specify qt includes and libs
that's just how it works

sugoi_, that's not the case with ffmpeg or SDL, for example

you must not have the USE=magic flag

the default include/lib paths are changes
ah ha!

with those libraries I can just do -lwhatever
and the include stuff is taken care of for me

is it impossible to run make menuconfig for the kernel while using screen and ssh? I got the error: Error opening terminal: screen.linux. when trying: make menuconfig

if it works with other libs, the libs are obviously in the default lib paths

works for me

works for me too
obviously, that doesn't help whatsoever

might need to su - instead of just su

and everything works, no mucking about with include paths needed

if you're being root

then the relative paths used by sdl comply with the default paths for gcc
this isn't really an argument
you just need to understand what i'm saying
or — i could explain it better i suppose

so how would I fix this?

learn what include/lib paths you need to add for a glib project
i, personally, don't do glib development, so i don't know them off hand

k
i think i get it now
thanks

do note, that if a lib was left out during an install, you'd see such errors
but that is really unlikely in this scenario

ahrg need help, upgraded kernel, iptables no longer works

come to think of it, when i do root actions in screen, root started that screen
i'm not sure how well screen handles wheels
would you agree?

anyone? lol

hola
has anyone had a problem compiling mplayer

yes, me on hardened 686

i use desktop profile
i have not checked the forums but i was wondering if it was common or specific

ok then you probably use gcc-4.*

yep

thanks folks, sorry for losing my head; it's late
night all

g'night

mine is 3.4.6

that means itsnot the compiler

yep; may be so; even disabling all the use flags, it still won't compile on my machine

i am lazy and masking the newer version it should compile but i havent tried

who do I contact to request an ebuild be marked as stable, and what are the "stable" requirements?

mzbot, teach fredden stable

No such faq

sugoi_, Triffid_Hunter… problem seems fixed. screen and my not knowing how to use it 100% was the issue

usually no reported bugs for 30 days

thanks friendly12345

creating a stable version bug entry after exactly this specific period of time is considered poor etiquette

hello,i'm looking for a free emulator to run some distro I would like to test…
wich one do you advice ?

qemu

hello

ok I'm looking

select java-nsplugin list' no result

do you hae eix installed

_Pol_, vmware-player?

no, I need to install them… vmplayer doesn't create image, it only run them

run emerge eix && update-eix && eix hosting with java support | grep sun

try to emerge 'virtualbox'

_Pol_, ah ok

'virtualbox-bin' is better, no compile time

ok it looks nice
it's better then qemu ?

then if you liek compile hosting it
:P

hi havin a prb with an external hard drive of mine. I don't have prbs with other ntfs external hard drives was usin one earlier.

is there a graphical frontend to emerge? lol

sure, for use virtualbox is better than qemu, but i don't know about specifications

gremlin132, there are

kuroo

oh that thing
i heard it was crap

says in dmsg use option nls=utf8 when mounting but it won't let me umount it. device busy

and porthole (GTK client)

well gui and emerge are not coagulant

and unplug replug = autoremounted

there's a java based client too IIRC

make sure no user is on that mount point.

how do i execute a command and store its o/p in bash scripting?

or you can force umount with -l

store its o/p in a variable*

ahh thanks

hi
sb pls hlp
server ~ # getent passwd | grep adrigep
adrigep$:*:2004:515:Computer:/dev/null:/bin/false
server ~ # smbpasswd -m adrigep
Failed to find Unix account for adrigep$
Failed to set password for user adrigep$.

hehe

re
http://rafb.net/p/ih8tAY73.html

it's a kind of free vmware

how can i set a machine password_?
insamba?

smbpasswd ?

man smbpasswd
is adrigep a user on your system?

yes, virtualbox; it's alternative with opensource

it's 6 years that I'm in the Linux world and I never heard about it
crazy !

it's possible, i have using 3 years in, but i forget what i eat yesterday
lol

virtualbox has been released as GPL a few months ago, haven't heard of it before …
too many good apps out there

no but you know when you are everyday in open source world… you hear about alot of packages and names
but I never heard about it at all
never

can i scp to not overwrite ?

don't make bigger, it's opensource and i thank them for usualibity, that's all. Never knew anyone know all packages in the world.

in secure unix web hosting you learn something new every day

it will be psychopat walking if you try that

hi, how can i bracket emerging to one release, I am trying to refrain from updating to postgresql to version 8.2, so I want whatever newest 8.1 is there. I tried using * and just specifying 8.1 in package.keywords

lol

hmm see if mask will bracket out the new postgres packages

still need help about java browser plugins

never got those to work

where does the gnome session , store its startup programs?
the startup program settings
that I set

ugh, is there anyway to have scp NOT copy files if they exists already at destination?
i'd rather not write a script for this

just setup rsync

how can i give write access to a file

just for a one time copy?
seems overkill to me

for a specific group ?

hmm

no idea then

using gentoo on a nforce5
the LAN doesnt seem to be responding

Hi! Is it possible to extend the size of a partition (safe)?

yay masking worked

resize2fs ? yes

hiall

yes, in ldap

should i install gentoo-amd64 or gentoo for my amd64?

moolight, Thanks! I'll read on about it!

resize2fs will resize a filesystem on a partition.
He asked about resizing partitions.

take a look at '/usr/share/gnome/autostart' and '/home/munu/.gnome2/session'

The safest way that I can see is using parted (or gparted or qtparted, gparted being the more mature of the two)

is there a different in using gentooamd64 for 64bit amd machine
?

thanks :
(:
the close bracket doesnt work

Spider Pig!
Does whatever a Spider Pig does.
Can he swing - From a web?
Look Out!
He is a Spider Pig

close bracket?

anyone?

yeah on my keyboard

amd64 is good for amd64, yeah

I think the keyboard map is messed up
works on the terminals

:/

You might run into more things to-do to get Flash to work, if you want it.

using the same layout in both gnome and terminal?

is there a different?

hi, is there any emerge progress meter that already in portage so i just emerge and it works?

will i mess something later if I stick with gentoo for my amd64 ?

i would avoid trying dirty hack tips if possible

its nto really possible

? You can use the 32bit software no problem with your 64bit processor.

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-amd64-faq.xml

I'm a bit confused about what you're asking though, genewbie

i have to do "emerge -p –resume -v" and check Total: x packages … currently

does anybody have experience with sony laptops under linux? hassle free?

anyone know what all I need to get the kde automounting thing working? I have hald and dbus running, my user is in the plugdev group, I have a /media dir…

which is better, using gentoo-amd64 for my amd64 machine … or using gentoo 32 bit for my amd64 machine
?

It depends on how you define 'better'. 32bit is simpler to install and maintain if you use things like Adobe Flash, and other 32bit plugins.

paddle i am on a sony

i think amd64 is more trouble generally

i hear there is some trouble with closed source stuff like flash plugins and so on
a recent one? does everything work?

ic
so its okay if i stick with gentoo 32bit for my amd64

gentoo need s some conditioning yet everything works except acpi buttons and biometric scanners

?

they can work with configuration

acpi buttons? doesn't this work with acpid?

i havent tried
not necessary yet

a quick question if someone's awake, is there chkdsk included on minimal cd?

which model do you have? i had a closer look on vgn-fz15, but i don't find any good info on the net

vgn-bx561b
fz should work fine
less bells

hi

i used acpid to catch the acpi buttons from my samsung laptop, works great… for example when i close the lid, i can make it execute any script… or when i press the power button, it will suspend, and stuff like that

yes it's ok to install a 32bit os on a 64bit processor, currently.

fn keys can be tough thats what i mean

because i took a kubuntu cd with me, and it wouldn't even boot… it just exits to the busybox shell… don't know what's causing the trouble though

orkid, or its better to install the gentoo-amd64? im confused

Hi guys, quick one (2, actually). should users have /usr/sbin in their path by default?

try fedora for a binary install but if you want a real laptop use gentoo #gentoo-laptop

ok, thanks for the info. that was really great with my samsung… they do everything in hardware/bios - all the brightness / volume / mute stuff works without any software interaction

hi all. how can I mask a package from an overlay? for example xeffects offers an unmasked qt which has the same version of the portage ebuild but it's different

hmmm

orkid, ?

remove it from the overlay

hmmmm….

did you try the same way as with a nromal package?

brianw:

arturo_on_rails, depends on who uses the system, sbin tools can possibly break the system…. normal users have access to */bin root has access to */sbin, usually I just switch to root account for sbin access

ahh lol yea or brianw s idea is great

If it is the same version, the overlay is used instead of the one in portage. If you mask one version, you mask both…

brianw, sure. but next time I sync overlays I need to remove those ebuilds again

so is the chkdsk on the minimal install cd?

so exclude it from the sync…

thanks a lot. I forgot my second question!
probably not important. Thanks guys!
:P

brianw, but this overlay offers some ebuilds that I want to keep in sync

is english for we use LANG=en_EU
i want to use export LANG ..

what package is the bc command in?

how can i use for english languahe ?

brianw, for example xeffects offers ebuilds like compiz that I want but I'd like to exclude qt,cairo…

so exclude the dir's you do not want to sync..

brianw, how? where?

sys-devel/bc (/usr/bin/bc)
–exclude /path/to/dir for the rsync command.

brianw, thx

brianw, rsync?? most of overlays using svn (at least in my case)
brianw, and I use layman to keep overlays in sync

ok, man the svn app, I am sure there is a way to exclude certain files/dirs

so i'm trying to install gentoo on my laptop, but the live CD doesn't include drivers for my wireless card (intel 3945), and i'd prefer not having to plug my laptop in to my router for the duration of the install
how can i make this work?

well file a big for layman requesting the feature…
use a livecd that does work.

brianw, ok

any livecd can be used to install gentoo

i'll see if my knoppix CD has the drivers…

i'll also vote for that feature

I am surprised it does not already have it. Why would you want to have to use all of an overlay…

i was also surprised when i first needed such an option. i added some rm lines into my autosync-script which calls layman and emerge –sync… but this causes unnecessary downloads every time i sync

knoppix doesn't have the drivers either

backtrack does

all right, i'm downloading it
we'll see if it works or not in an hour

Soichiro, I had that problem, eventually I gave up, set up the system via a USB stick, the portage and stage 3, grub install, ipw3945 and ipw3945d, and vanilla-sources
was faster because I only have 512kbps

brianw, padde, http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=187214 I hope to have explained the problem well

help me pls
gentoo gnome lock screen does not work
adem@localhost ~ $ gnome-screensaver
arguments to dbus_connection_add_filter() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 4954.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

adem@localhost ~ $

please don't paste that much

ok
sory

rafb.net/paste , pastebin.ca etc.

ok

much easier for all involved

Do you have a idea abouth problem ?

looks like a dbus problem … but I'm not sure what happens there

hmm
my lock screen does not work
DrEeevil:

obviously
is dbus running?

Hi guys, does anybody have experience with cross-ompiling to ARM?

looking

as a compiz-fusion user now I d like to know if I'm the only one having a few bugs here and there … or if it is rather normal since its beta software?

http://rafb.net/p/O7kK8h52.html
look pls

that whole beryl/compiz/… thingy fails reliably for me, so I think it's normal
looks like it is running …

dbus running..

Santanabaer, thres a reason its called beta

yeah

did you upgrade anything in the last days?

ahh ok DrEeevil then we must wait and wait (apart the prob that now my glxgears has half as much FPS as before)

yes i upgrade it
emerge sync and emerge -u world
i was it ..

blame the vendors for not releasing sane drivers

:P
or our cards

ok, try running revdep-rebuild

ok

no, vendors get 100% of the blame
my ati card has no useful drivers, my nvidia card hsa no usable drivers
blame goes to the vendors

oh that suxx actually

oh well, nvidia doesn't think anyone uses 4G of RAM I guess

Dynamic linking on your system is consistent… All done.
DrEeevil:
done

what I meant with glxgears is that we ve been informed that now desktop rendering would be done 100 % by the card and not CPU anymore
I got 2 GB RAM ask me DrEeevil

hmm weird

back

oh well, I'll just wait until the nouveau drivers are usable

yeah I think so too

I want my ati to work properly (

it's my only hope
me too
there aren't even sane drivers for windows
ati really screwed up there

http://rafb.net/p/nZRHXh78.html
DrEeevil:

is there nobody that can tell me what LFB is?

look pls

or rather IBM hacked it too much
emerge wtf && wtf lfb ?

even the ppl in #ati can't tell me what lfb is
I doubt wtf knows it

ive upgraded my gtkmm and now ive lost lib-atkmm
any suggestions

context?

wait
dmesg
http://rafb.net/p/HhSEDm45.html
here

revdep-rebuild ?

i'll give it a shot.

lol mark_alec nice anagram of your nick

can i prevent this from installing particular apps again? i deliberately removed noatun, now it decides it wants it again

if it is a hard dependency then no

Can anyone off hand suggest what part of the system I need to poke to have it *not* automatically run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 on a module being loaded?

/etc/conf.d/rc
RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.*"
add that

Ah

where does the gnome session , store its startup programs?
where does the gnome session , store its startup program settings , that I set through the sessions UI?
uh sorry about the repaste

I was grubbing around in /etc/udev wondering wtf. I wouldn't have thought of rc. Thanks

it is very unexpected … took me some cursing to extract that data

It _is_ rather buried in there …
(I'm working around something stupid that NetworkManager does - if there is a wired ethernet device and nm starts coming up, then it'll assign the "default" IP address to that eth0 device if nothing is plugged into it.
Which is retarded. There's nothing plugged into it!

hehe, why use NM and other such tools …

So I've arranged things so that I have the eth0 providing module unloaded if I'm going to rc wireless)
oh you know the answer to that one. In a modern roaming environment, having the GUI support to find a suitable access point can be really handy.

I think there are cleaner methods of doing things
eh, GUI is overrated

/etc/conf.d/wireless sometimes works, and sometimes just gets in the way

heho, KDE's Kontact-application seems to crash on a more or less regular basis, does anybody have a clue? (stacktrace here: http://pastebin.com/m729b9e79) btw, it seems to appear when accessing a webdav storage (tho sometimes everything runs fine)

We had a good conversation about it last week at GUADEC though. I sensed that a lot of people were pissed at the same things, and it sounds like the guys who work on it are going to give it a bit of a kick in the ass this cycle or next.

mind the language please
also, go fix the fileselector

my ps2 mouse doesnt work .. i need some help this is the output http://pastebin.com/m280efb5e

hello guys

hi
all
how can i change hostname ?
i change hosts but
my computer when restart so it s be localhost

I'm having problems booting off the minimal install cd.. seems to fail on the cd.. I had the same problem with ubuntu until I used an alterntive cd image any ideas what this might be

justanotherweb, try burning the image at a slower speed and DAO

I don't think this is the issue
I think this something to do with loader being incompatible
the pc is a mini itx
via model

if it is a C3 it is _not_ i686

ok
I've had a quick look
but I'm not sure which image to download

x86

thats the one i tried

hmm so if i wanted to say run gksudo when i hit winkey r how would one do that?

I have ubuntu on that machine with a network connection
can I install gentoo off the web?

you can do a network installation
which is the most used

thanks

justanotherweb, you need the cd to at least boot to do the network install though
or at least another cd like a knoppix disc if not that one

anyone know what kind of encryption this looks like? 69m357y2tbfr0i0TPqDy4g==

lol
apparently the good kind, cos i have no bloody clue what that means

misc–: base64 encoding maybe

hehe… I've seen it before… but I need to know what it is now. Once I know then I can create them and put them in the database as the same format as the rest of them
md5 base64 ?

misc–: how would I know what data it is …
just looks like base64 as it is all valid ascii characters

the == at the end is always the same with all encrypted strings

delimiter
tells you end of string

ahh I see
you are right then. 10 points to you. Taking the == off, it actually does look like an md5 base64 string

www.utopianegra.com , plese opinión about de web.

this be commercial-free zone

hi all

hey

the usual suspects

i've made an nfs image, removed eth0 from rc but he still trys to start net.eth0 at boot, how i can remove this ?
set already config_eth0=("null")

RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.*" in /etc/conf.d/rc

did you try to remove net.eth0 from runlevel ?

yes
is removed

doesn't help, udev is too smart

lol

automagic stuff is stupid
what I said a minute ago

smartness of pcs suxx sometime

no, assumptions

it's a quest for me ^^

you assume that I move in a certain way

hehe DrEeevil

if I don't I have to take a knife and stab you

you have an evil Fantasy

e.g. assuming I use a "My Documents" directory for my data
no, I have a short temper

lol

so DrEeevil do i need to write an udev rule or something like this ?

I hate repeating myself
RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.*" in /etc/conf.d/rc
there, I repeated myself.

ah
DrEeevil is like a glossar knows everything
thanks

hehe
I just hit the usual bugs before others

brianw, padde, for the overlay problem… adding /usr/portage in PORT_OVERLAY (make.conf) give official portage higher priority over the layman overlays

would you maybe know something regarding emerald? somehow I was so smart to switch between the different window themes until it broke lol and now I dont have any window contours what can I do ? (re-emerging emerald and emerald-themes not working)
would you maybe know something regarding emerald? somehow I was so smart to switch between the different window themes until it broke lol and now I dont have any window contours what can I do ? (re-emerging emerald and emerald-themes not working)

I have roughly the same issue, thus I use kwin now

hey, can anyone help with a package blocking issue?

I gave up on all that fancy eyecandy while graphics drivers are silly
who blocks what?

kwin is completly crap for me … shows nothing but a mouse and my desktop background

[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdesu-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kdebase-3.5.5-r4)
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kdesu-3.5.5)

monolithic or split kde?

ahh yeah DrEeevil I completly understand that I should have known that

i just ran emerge kuroo (for package browsing) and it installed some basic KDE stuff, im using gnome

hmm, fun

USE="-kde" emerge kuroo ?

won't work

he should put it rather in make.conf

looks like portage gets confused by the dependencies there … doesn't make sense

oh DrEeevil

hmm

feels

won't change a thing

oh, fair enough
not sure how to fix it

|| ( kde-base/kdesu kde-base/kdebase ) — from the kuroo ebuild
it wants either one of those installed … not sure how it would fail for you there

whatdya mean?
oh

as long you dont have 736 packages opn gentoo like me

haha
so.. remove kdesu, install kdebase?
or just install kdebase?

that would take eternities

well.. its already installed them just before

it doesn't make sense

i dont know why it did it

which one of those is installed?

both
im pretty sure

uhm

O.o

I don't want to know how you did that

if i run emerge –pretend blah
it shows…
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdesu-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kdebase-3.5.5-r4)
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kdesu-3.5.5)

it shows both as blockers

that

but if you look above, which one has N and which one has R there?

hi guys

hi cosmin

I just erased my user from all groups
how can I undo that?

they are all N and one is NS

hi, Santanabaer

try "emerge kdesu", then emerge kuroo

how can i disable grub image ?
help me pls

look in /boot/grub/grub.conf

or, at least, where can I find a list of all common groups for regular users?

should be "splashimage /foo/bar/baz" or something similar

compiling kdesu *yawns*

look at man gpasswd

ok

you can easily add the groups back to a user

now emerging kuroo again

I know how to add them… I just don't know which ones there were before

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=11

thanks a bunch

np

still blocking

can you pastebin emerge –info ?

ok back to enjoy "Beetlejuice - the film"

alright
http://pastebin.com/m78307269

ok done..
i have a question , i need gnome mausetheme
i dont it s name ,
is there know ?

should have set -j higher :@

lol, me haves -j3

number of cpus + 1
if you set it higher than rated, you could wait even longer

any idea whats wrong from that?

hello

hi ArdenS

looks sane, I suggest filing a bug on bugs.gentoo.org

alright

revdep didnt fix my problem

which ?

any way i can fix it? cause uh.. i cant emerge anything

broken /usr/local/lib/libflowcanvas.la (requires /usr/lib/libatkmm-1.6.la)

"anything" ?

well.. the thing i want to emerge anyway

libatkmm-1.6.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

for which package ?

something i compiled separately

you have to recompile that

hm
the lib is gone though

yes, it got updated

well it happened to me that revdep didnt recognize sometime all dependencies

thus you have to recompile it

no, the lib has -gone-
completely

ah, sucks

what do you need that lib for ?

im not sure. its needed for compiling something i downloaded

there must be something you want to execute

quickfix for this at all? lol

lollercopter

localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

your message usually comes when you start something .. thats why I ask

i want them to not block no more

how does route know what localnet is ??
i have that line in my route

Hi, if there is something in debian source package, is there anyway i can install it?

why dont you emerge -s it ?
usually there is an equivalent for every package on other distros too

do you think they have wildmagic 3?

let me look
ok first seach failed
now seaching in description too

okay i found out that localnet = 192.168.1.0 using route -v -n
but from where does it gets that network name ?

i found

nope.

1 sec

recompiling.

unless there is a ebuild somewhere on the web

you re right
portage aint got it
you might have to install it manually it you find it
look onto their main website if you know it …

when i restart computer my audio does not work so i was start alsaconf it s can work ..
how can i run auto alsa

full name is Wild Magic Real-Time 3D Graphics Engine, version 3, not version 4. actually, im installing yade using that library

do you have alsasound on runlevel boot ?

i wan to make my computer when restart so alsa auto start
np
no

add it

how can i do it ?

usually, the solution is 'rc-update add alsasound boot'

rc-update add alsasound boot
damn koollman was faster

Ho do I emerge gimp 9999?

dont steal my clients

carefully ?

I tested it
its finew

koollman, What do I add to package.keywords?

1 sec

Hi all
I've usex xmmx for a long time, but now I want to try something new
some suggestions for a media player?

amarok, mpd

-kde -qt

bah ill just unmerge kdesu

listen

merethan, amarok and mpd build a database of all your music, which you can search quickly etc.
merethan, mpd doesn't have a gui by itself
merethan, you can get various clients for its
it*

so does (gnome) listen

I don't like databases and stuff

aha

oh you will

everybody says that
until they get used to it

just load a directory or more with files and play it

just like linux

i love amarok xD
im actually emerging it now.. lol

The problem is with databses that they get outdated

what?

My filesystem is in fact the database

what do you mean by getting outdated

in amarok you just go "update collection"
and off it goes

why do I want a client to make one another?

they update automaticly

merethan, you can't really search quickly if you don't use a real database like that …
in your media player that is
in amarok, just type any word and you get the artist, albums, tracks, whatever with that word in it
without any waiting

DuClare, I have a brain, I know where my files are

merethan, you're not getting me

its the ease of use
and the convenience

yeah, it's so quick to do it in the media player, just like that, instead of browsing any single folder.

btw, if you want a replacement for xmms, try audacious
although that experience made me swtich to (gnome) listen

lol
dunno why, i prefer gnome over kde

Hey ya'll.. I just updated my nvidia-drivers to latest.. and I'm getting a kernel module mismatch! I thought the nvidia-drivers was the kernel module AND the glx module? I've tried revdep-rebuilding the package, no change. anyone got any suggestions?

kde seems so cluttered

I use xfce4

different gcc by chance?

used to use kde.. just because I wanted to explore, I gave xfce4 a try … fell in love at first sight and haven't gone back since.

i havent tried xfce4

isn't it dramatic story? 3

oh yes, very
like a chick flick

Same gcc. Im getting version mismatch on the kernel module and glx module from starting X11 o

exaile is a gtk 'port' of amarok

lol, "port"

can anyone give me a very very basic iptables config that blocks all incoming TCP except ssh? The examples I have found on the gentoo-wiki blocks everything

having fast mouse acceleration makes your PC look fast

wish I could disable mouse acceleration
ah well, I think I can

lol

but I'd also like to alter mouse sensitivity .. no clue how to do that

im used to it

somewhere is X config

I'm a gamer… need to do tracking
plus I do draw with mouse

logitech mouses seem to be really sensitive.. dont know why

a consistent sensitivity is IMO very important in any kind of tracking
gremlin133, high DPI

although… in gnome.. you can use the mouse prefferences menu

yah

xset m 1 1

I have just installed quake4-demo
and I can't play it
because of user rights

lolz

the files are in mode 750 root:games

you need to be in the group games

I added my user as being part of the games group

try 777 lol
rwx for all!

and still, cannot access it

stray_, that doesn't change sensitivity
acceleration is not sensitivity

chmod -R 777 gamefolder

i remember i had that problem too once…

that's just dumb

no clue how i fixed that though

how on earth would you think it's safe to do that?

its just a game..

indeed

makes it world read write execute, so what, only a game
lol
not like its your drive root =P

but I'm not asking about the game

its more about the 'i dont care' factor
