let me bring it up, one second

Have you upgraded the kernel?

err well not explicitly… unless emerge -avuDN world upgrades the kernel

hi all
How command can list all my installed package in gentoo ?

ls /var/db/pkg/
or emerge -n portage-utils or emerge -n gentoolkit
qlist or equery list

qlist -Iv

cd /var/db/pkg && find * -type d -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1

thx all

I ran into a little trouble with a corrupted kernel, but I fixed it
had to recompile from the minimal install cd, but I didn't download a new kernel source or anything

If you didn't update the kernel or the module, have you upgraded baselayout or the network tools? If not, the behaviour shouldn't have changed.

can anyone help me with an suspend2 error?

I had to rebuild the entire kernel, then this happened

bird603568, not if you don't tell the channel what the error is.

/sys/power/suspend2/: Is a directory"

But you used the old config, right?

When i emerge,error by ouldn't download binutils-2.16.1-patches-1.10.tar.bz2. Aborting

i wish hardware vendors would develop Linux, BSD, Mac, and Windows drivers

Draconx, i had to generate it first

bird603568, well, don't try to run cat on a directory.

im not
the script is doing that

I removed the bcm43xx driver because I wasn't using it anymore, but yes

bird603568, what script?

actually its probably a binary
but im doing hibernate -n
this what this guy has http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4148858.html?sid=1db143d8b4bb3f05d29674ae0f01f134

forums.gentoo.org was down for a while the other day

… what the crap? It doesn't give the kernel panics anymore… but now ndiswrapper doesn't work

damn ssh timeouts

After removing the bmc43xx driver?

no, just after sitting the computer down for a night
I don't get it… I didn't change anything at all

their forum search engine has gotten crappier and more limited

I just shut it down for the night

ok
Look at dmesg

it gets rewritten every reboot doesn't it?
well while I'm fixing the kernel, I might as well just get a new version of it. How do you get the latest kernel?

emerge gentoo-sources

thanks

I've got two questions. The first, simple question: Can I run fetchmail in daemon mode w/o having it delete the emails from the server?

Dralnu, yes, run it with the –preserve option, or something like that

Is there a good way to check to see if there is a disk in a disk drive (other then looking, of course)

try mounting it?

emerge –sync and emerge -uDav world

XMetal, what?

Anthology, so long space

err that updates the kernel? oh in that case my kernel's been updated a few times =S

If you den't get a reply from me, that probably means I've fallen over the keyboard

ahaha no worries, I understand
err yeah, so is dmesg any good? I thought it was rewritten at reboot?

Talcite, do you have the auto build USE flags set, since if you don't, it just downloads and unpacks the source

err… I don't think I have the autobuild use flag
I have a lot of flags though 0.o
I usually rebuild my kernel every few weeks though heh
err how come my uname -r says I'm still using 2.6.20-gentoo-r8?
isn't .21 out?

Talcite, that's not the actual flag, its one to auto compile it and another one to install it

what's the flag called?

linux-2.6.21-gentoo-r4 - is latest i think, unmasked that is

Talcite, yes, its probably in /usr/src

oh… hmm should I be using .21-r4?

how do i get grub to list how it sees (hdx) ??

err what's the flag to set auto compile?

that was the version i got yesterday after a –sync

Talcite, im using .22 atm, so im not sure of the latest unmasked version

I might try that. I'm trying to do this with a cd ripping script (to try and rip 2 disk at once to save time), and being able to tell which drive is occupied would help alot

=S how are you guys finding these unmasked versions?
are they stable?

Talcite check it on packages.gentoo.org

Talcite, the unmasked versions are, the masked ones sorta

You can check the USE flags by just emerge -pv gentoo-sources. Also the unmasked versions are versions that gentoo have declared stable

ahh right, I always mix those up. hmm… my emerge just downloaded 21.r4

same as mine did yesterday

Talcite, +build builds it for you, +symlink links it to /usr/src/linux
Talcite, IIRC

ahhhh… that's what I must be missing
I don't have the +symlink flag
hmm I don't want to change my make.conf yet… I'm emerging 12 packages .'

You can use, sudo eselect kernel list, then see which number is next to the latest kernel or one you wish to install. then eselect kernel set 2 (where 2 is the number you want)
this will setup all the links for you

oh? that's convenient =D

How install patch file in gentoo linux ?

hmm, didn't know you could use eselect for the kernel, interesting…

yes

I think I'm going to rebuild my kernel from scratch… there's probably a few options that I didn't understand when I was first using gentoo =P
it was interesting… took me a week to compile a good kernel =D

well once you have emerged the source, set the links up either via eselect or manually. its the same principal after that with any disto, goto /usr/src/linux, make a config, make it make modules, install, set boot manager reboot

Alright, so I just got a new computer, SATA et al. Have 3 500 gig drives plugged in. When it POST's it detects them all
but when I do fdisk -l I don't get anything back
halp mah

because you're kernel isn't configured with the right modules enabled

^

check the output of lspci and go through the kernel config again

Its the Gentoo live

oh i see…

I did lspci | grep -i sata and I see it
f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 4 port SATA IDE Controller (rev
f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 2 port SATA IDE Controller (rev
0.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technologies, Inc. JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller (rev

now check dmesg to see what it detected

;(
What should I grep it for?

don't paste text in here, too many lines and you'll get booted
use no-paste

It was only 3 lines, I thought that was what the limit is.

tried just mount /dev/sda1 (or 2 3) /mnt/somedir

and yah, right, i'm on console.

0.o err lol uhh… links? =D

Wethu if I do fdisk -l I don't get anything

3 before you're kicked, but you're asked not to paste here, use a paste bin.

oh

I just got my new box up and I cant do anything ;(
Windows detects the drives, but it won't let me install to them
linux dosent even detect them
bios does

so the kernel's missing the drivers you need

what livecd are you using? specific filename please.

hello

where step are you in the install?

blackace the minimum one

i'm sure there are multiple kernels on the livecd

which*

what did I just say?

guys is there a tool to change a wav to a mp3 or ogg in GTK?

I have a Intel Q6600 processor, my friend said that I should use the AMD64 one, is that true?
blackace I already rm'd it

audacity

any of you guys notice some font weirdness lately? I just upgraded my nvidia-drivers, that always has some odd display effect. Particularly, fonts in gtk apps are a little larger than they used to be, as well as being a completely different font'

its the current one

it doesn't really matter. 64 bit usually gives more headaches because driver support is less

HarryR audacity kills himself

I doubt that very much since the 2007.0 includes the jmicron driver.
and if you cannot provide accurate information, we cannot help you.

blackace, it sees the SATA controller
but I just don't see the drives

HarryR another way?

it *

mpg123? lame?

You also said windows wouldnt install to it?

Wethu yes. Windows detected the drives, I formatted it and clicked next and she wouldent go

what version of windows

HarryR in GTK

Talcite Vista.

Service Pack 2 disk?

why does it have to be GTK?
use the commandline like a good gentooer

HarryR because I wanna a gtk app for do it

but the fact that it formatted it, means it has the drivers and is using the device.. so im guessing yes

But this dumbfounds the hell out of me. It detects the SATA controller, BIOS lists the drives as they are, but linux based hosting services just won't show them

HarryR I use the console for a lot off thinks …

well then you're going to have to do some looking about because I've already suggested all the ones I know

it can detect the sata controller but it interfacing with it is a different story

HarryR I don't spend time learning how to convert wav to mp3 in a command line

Talcite so uh, what shall I do

it happens to my wireless card all the time

unable to open an initial console.

lame file.wav -o file.mp3

no idea, what do your logs say?

lame somefile.wav

Are you using a raid array at all? (is there any need to have all 3 drives in there at once, have you tried with having just 1 drive in there?)

hello dudes

Draconx shure? just look at this http://es.gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Pasar_Wma_a_Mp3_u_Ogg

Nope, I havent tried a raid array

anyone to help me with a error ?

sorry why are you using a jmicron controller again?

Talcite because its integrated?

… it's a shellscript to convert all your wma files to wav files..

I'm assuming you're using a 975X chipset?

I think.
Its a ABIT board

ICH 8 and 9 sb have their own controllers

yes, let me just read your mind and fetch it

don't use the j micron one, use the native ones for the sb chipset

HarryR can you see? I need that big script

yes

kenji, why would you need that big script?

;-)

it's much more likely to be supported

i'm trying to install totem but i have a strange error

so just add a call to lame after the oggenc call?

Talcite so uh, what should I do?

lame file.wav will give me a file.mp3?

uh, instead of*

your mobo's manual will tell you which connections are for the native controller and which are for the jmicron one

yes

It has both, Talcite?

open it up, plug the drives into the proper controller

can help me to debug this ?

Oh. I fail.

yes

HarryR what about the bitrate etc?

then read the lame manpage
or you can ask me

you're definitely not only using a jmicron controller, that's impossible

paste your error rafb.net/paste and then summarize it in a msg to the channel

and i'll do it, give you the right options, which will take 10 minutes longer

sure, wait please

see if you still have the problem after plugging it into the native controller

Talcite there are 5 SATA hookups all grouped up

and also, in intel bios there's usually an option to controller which method the sata controller communicates
5 and only 5?
what model is your board?

where is the lame frontend?

yes, there are only 5 SATA ports

http://lame.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/lame/lame/USAGE

6 *

that sounds better. what model do you have?

HarryR why do I need a cvs if I have portage?

view the file in your web browser, it's a list of commandline options

6 inside, 2 in back

I need the model of your mobo

sec

it also has loads of examples which probably do _exactly_ what you want

IP35 Pro

sure

Is there something i'm missing in BIOS or?

hmm its' a P35 chipset
well let me take a look

does anyone know what -ll corresponds to, as in "cc -o foo foo.o -ll" ?

look for libl.a or lib.so.*

señorita cara de pizza

it's instructing the linker to link with "l" (ell) as a library

are you plugged into those 6?
because there's 2 others that are for the jmicron controller

http://rafb.net/p/IskaJT46.html

Talcite, yeah, i'm plugged in to the internel one.
Hrm. How do I know which is which?

the 6 are for the ich9

paste your error rafb.net/paste and then summarize it in a msg to the channel

the 6 grouped are for intel
there should be 2 alone for j micron

take a look at flex & yacc (libl and liby respectively)

Oh Talcite, they're in the back.
I just did a dmesg | grep -i intel
and I don't see anything about SATA

you won't

Its not supported?

the intel controller is on with the southbridge
it should show up in lspci supported or not

listed as what?

ich9

f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 4 port SATA IDE Controller (rev
f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 2 port SATA IDE Controller (rev

ich9R to be specific

i try to install the totem with emerge totem

I guess there it is

yeah, those would be it

so uh
why don't I see any drives
lol

well I'd say play with the bios

paste your error rafb.net/paste and then summarize it in a msg to __**the channel**__

i have xine and real player installed that runs normally

alright, any other suggestions?

and I don't know if ich9R is supported in kernel, it's only a month old or so

what you mean in "summarize"

especially on a liveCD

Alright, bbl

kk

ah, cool.. thanks.. that would be right on

a short description so that people will know what you're talking about
e.g. "My hemroid cream is causing irritation, should I stop using it?"

I just typed: USE="a52 ffmpeg flac mad nsplugin seamonkey theora xulrunner xv" emerge totem

teach nickmarinho about varemerge

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.

trying to install just typing emerge totem let the same error

paste your error rafb.net/paste and then summarize it in a msg to the channel

i have a question about the livecd. is there any documentation, or tips anywhere for adding something to it?

http://rafb.net/p/sP0da288.html

how do i find out what options i used to format a fs? like blocks-per-inode and stuff

again
?

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Gentoo_LiveCD_and_LiveUSB

have you tried updating portage?

but trying with just emerge totem, i get the same error
any idea ?

^

HarryR, perfect. What about systems that don't support booting to USB?

How would I edit crontab in gentoo?
crond does not work

crontab -e user
depending on which cron daemon you use

netboot using PXE and mounting the livecd filesystem via nfs?

default one

dcron?

HarryR, hmmm.

Didn't work

probably want to do some digging around, I've only ever done it on sun hardware

Where do I install external list whathaveyous for john?

puta que pariu, o cara saiu ?

if you chose vixie-cron, not sure… but dcron is "crontab -e user"

merda

HarryR, for systems that don't have usb, i could do what i'm doing now ….which is just booting up, mounting the floppy, and running it from there.

guys lame its a perfect choice tnks
can it drop a ogg?

reisio's not here

Talcite of course

hmm… I'm not sure what to do then 0.o I've never seen it before

I think it is because that package has become unavailable on portage

err should it be cleared when you update portage then?

Hmm.. your rite
Umm..

portage clears it's old cache when it syncs

mn

hmm… have you tried getting a specific version of those drivers?
there's also the possibility that the portage server you're connected to is having problems

True
Hey do you know if some of the tomcat server hosting have a daily limit you can update from them?

I have no idea. I'd have to say there's probably SOME limit, but that's to just stop DDOS attacks
there's definitely no standard update limit. It'd be server specific

I should be good then.. if I happen to hit the same server
Ill see what happens if I update again

sure

How does one enable support for the wheel on a mouse?

at least one

two*

Are you that one?
chuckle

i am indeed good sir
i believe it's an xorg setting

what kind of mouse do you have?

at least that's how i got mine working in KDE

Logitech TrackMan
USB

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
put that in your xorg.conf under your mouse section

Thanks!
I also just noticed that I have a broken symlink in /etc/X11:

../../usr/lib/X11/xkb

Is this a symlink I need or should I just delete it?

how long can emerge –sync typically take/

depends.. anywhere from 5-20min i'd guess

That depends…

Mine has been going for an hour

It usually takes my computer closer to five minutes.
What speed is your internet connection?

all the packages are flying past

And have you ever run emerge –sync before?

hey guys

I'm up to the metadata stuff

im bacvk

hi

Its in a data centre, 10mbps web connection

my xserver doesnt start any more

Is this a new installation?

and no, the last emerge –sync was a year ago

no screens found

thats your answer

im at the part where i set the USE flags. If I see something I do NOT want to include, do I have to type '-variable' or just not include it on the make.conf at all?

so it'll take a year to catch up?

just don't include it
the only times i the - are for -kde when i'm using gnome

hmm. thats hwta i figured, but the example in the handbook has gtk and gnome listed with a '-'
kind of misleading
ahhh
i see now

Ketarel.. all beter

well im surely using kde so ill be sure to include -gnome

huh? what's all better?

the - semi forces out stuff you don't want, but don't be surprised if it gets overriden

I just restarted X - the wheel still doesn't work.
The good news is that it still does behave like a middle button.

ok thanks

rafb your mouse section from your xorg.conf
are you doing a new install? the best advice you can take right now is use as few USE flags as possible, and then add later as needed

yes
new install
but i know for sure there are things i want like GIMP, DVD support, and OSS

i started with 5 or 6 useflags and now I have over a dozen

when i install, i use the ones listed in the example in the handbook and thats it
and maybe something like dvd

This is going to take a minute - I messed up when I compiled links, so I can't middle-click paste there…

same here

so how long would a brand new install take to emerge –sync?

a few hours on average pcs

ok so to clarify, these use flags do not control which programs are installed with the OS, they only control the support that is used for new applications that are compiled, correct?

depending on your computer's spec's, i've had it take up to 20-30mins

lol

not exactly

on my old PC 3-4 hours

please xplain, im lost

so how come its taken over an hour?

wel

*explain

on a dual core X64

well

USE flags control what options programs are compiled with. the flags you set in your make.conf though are second on the priority list. there is a master list that overrides your settings if need be
for example, if you have the -kde flag in your make.conf and attempt to install k3b its going to install kde despite your flag

anybody an idea why my xserver suddenly reports me "No screens found"?

ahhh i understand now

your xorg has a problem
xorg.conf

yes
but 8 hours ago it ran well
and no changes made in this file

so for example if i were to type -gtk in my make.conf the program GIMp itself would still be installed with gentoo?

only a emerge -NDu world

if you set the -gtk use flag and then install gimp its still going to pull in gtk
you can't have one without the other

lol
i understand

USE flags are for enabling/disabling features rather than applications

ahhh i got it now thank you friendly
does gentoo come with ALSA, OSS or both?

for the gtk USE flag there are some packages which require it if you want to use it 'normally'

Would someone remind me how to use nopaste?

damnit I forgot how to use eselect
the man page is not helping =/

What is it that you want to eselect?

sudo eselect kernel 2? or list 2?

example eselect kernel list or eselect kernel set 1, or eselect opengl set nvidia

ahhh… the name of the kernel? that makes sense =D

I remember that nopaste is piped somehow - but I don't remember the details.

ALSA and OSS are part of the kernel, not gentoo, so it technically comes with both

Gentoo doesn't come with anything. But the alsa-driver package does contain support for oss and alsa, although you really should use the kernel modules instead

GentooUser, each package has a list of use flags that effect it. if you have -gtk and a package can build without it, it will. but if a package can only install with gtk, then it will compile with it. same for xorg. like xterm. doenst make sense to build an x app without x.

mouse section of xorg.conf: http://rafb.net/p/q61CDI81.html

wait, there I got it now. Thanks

eselect kernel list, will show you a list of installed kernel sources, numbered.. yeah nps

i see
i need to make sure i have OSS enabled though, because from what ive read ALSA does not support the CMI8788 audio processor
in fact, right now i have no sound

When you configure your kernel, make sure to enable OSS then.

GentooUser, is that new or old ?

new

Did you compile your own kernel?

not yet im running from the livedvd

Did you install GenKernel?
It's a useful management tool…

how do i do that?
sorry new to all this

genkernel is for newb

Hey, no worries - newbies are welcome.
And he's a newbie.

well
somewhere the xorg.conf wasn't up to date

I'm a huge newb, and i scoff at genkernel

emerge -uD genkernel

lol

strange though

how can i ignore the masking and get netscape-flash installed?

What don't you like about GenKernel?

the fact that it does stuff for you

and i do this before or after the install?

Have you installed your system yet?

no im setting the USE flasg right now

You'll do this right before you're ready to compile your kernel.
In that case, don't worry about it yet.
The USE flags won't affect your sound system.
emerge does stuff for you too

yeah i know, i'm not a fan of emerge either.. but it's almost too easy not to use
but configing the kernel is like, some stuff

http://rafb.net/p/npS3pM24.html

If you do it with menuconfig, you still control the options.

what's the best hosting way to get netscape-flash now?

If you really don't like the conveniences, try Linux From Scratch: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org

my audio chipset is made by cmedia
8788
can be found in cards like bluegears enspirer, auzentech x-meridian, and razer ac-1

That's a bit over my head, I'm using gentoo to teach myself linux

if emerge is your problem try paludis

install net-www/netscape-flash

hey

hi

i never said emerge was a problem.. i just hate that i love it

it's masked, wgs3

Is it uncommon for the new nvidia drivers (=1.0.9) to break a vesa frame buffer console?

"hard masked"
so i'm wondering how to ignore that

then you'll love to love paludis

have you checked the alsa card matrix?

NightShadow nope, vesa ones should be ok

Hmm, well installing it consistently breaks it.

no, do you have a link for that?

GentooUser, looks like different versions of that are supported. you might want to use the alsa-driver (enable alsa in the kernel but select no modules) i would try alsa first and if you can not get it working perhaps post in the forums or ask here, then if that fails then try oss. and build
as modules for easier testing

I'll install it, and my frame buffer console will get scrambled, and uninstalling it + reboot will fix it

I'll give 'er a good lookings over
thanks

the problem is cmedia the maker of the chipset itself has not released a linux driver for the 8788, but someone managed to get ot working in fiesty

your welcome

GentooUser, but i would worry about sound last, after you get gentoo installed. also, what is your linux experience ?

see the link on this page: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/

GentooUser, the alsa-driver package has newer drivers than the kernel.

linux experience is minimal
im using gentoo because it teaches alot
very tedious
plus ive heard many other good thingd and wanted to choose a good distro for my system

GentooUser, gentoo is not really for linux newbies, you will have a steep learning curve ahead, more so than other distro's

only the install is tedious really, once its up and running, its not worse than any other distro

It's not nearly as bad as starting someone on slackware =P

LOL

Didn't work - at least, not that I could tell…

NightShadow, right

does anyone know of a cheap, but reliable, hardware RAID controller that is very compatible with linux? hotswappable is a plus

(That's how I got started…my friend's an arse =P)

add that to package.keywords

i did
it still wont install
i have net-www/netscape-flash **
in a line

What's it saying?

3com's generally are very well supported

What architecture are you running?

Not sure about cheap though

try switching your protocol to IMPS/2

im on the wiki ALSA matrix list and my card isnt even supported =/

Worse case scenario is that you use software raid instead of hardware raid

In gpm.conf?

Tehxt, netscape-flash is marked stable. what arch are you on ?

amd64, i had flash working in amd64 firefox using nspluginwrapper
before it got masked

i thought we were working on your xorg.conf

I didn't think that flash worked on AMD64…
We are.

it works with either firefox-bin
or firefox amd64 with nspluginwrapper

Is the protocol name written with the slash or without the slash?

with

No dice.

holy crap
http://manuals.opensound.com/usersguide/cmi8788.html
LOL
problem solved

try Logitech then

Good for you!

or PS/2

kickass it even supports full blown 5.1

I think I may have found one issue: /etc/conf.d/gpm specified ps/2

cant have my home theater without 5.1

I have a wireless card, and gentoo's own net script and wpa_supplicant has turned it to "radio off". And it does that when it can not associate. How do I get it back on? :/

Or is that related somehow…

well anyway
any real method of getting flash installed besides trying the tar on adobe's site?

i have no idea where this gpm stuff came from

Tehxt, why cant you emerge it ?

ok so ive probably asked this in a different form b ut just to brush up does the kernel have OSS v4 by default or do i have to update that manually after the install?

Do I have to exit and re-enter X in order to reload xorg.conf or can I just restart X?

Did you lock yourself out of a machine?

Tehxt, if that still doenst work, try to sync again in 24 hours, and then emerge

no, I need to do proof of concept for a class.

i just need it because i do watch a lot of youtube and ytmnds

Tehxt, youtube-dl and mplayer

actually, creating flash vids in flash is pretty fun, but if your referring to the 64 bit compatibility problem i see what you mean

hello, do you know what is ewlm and why it is opening port 3860 ?

no builtin distributed model and djohn code does not work as intended. Module is broken.

i liked making flash videos too, GenKreton
GentooUser,
but it's a closed thing

so i will not make anything in flash

john has some mpi patches

n3kl, hmm, that was a guess, i dont crack passwds

meh, thanks anyway

Tehxt, i am on ppc, so its all useless

when flash is open, then awesome
hmm is it tough on ppc with gentoo

I was thinking of going mpi. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/hpc-howto.xml looks like a good article.

MY KERNEL IS COMPILED WITH -O2 AND I CAN REALLY NOTICE THE SPEED DIFFERENCE. I USE GNOME, THE BEST GUI ON ANY SYSTEM, AND ALL YOU IDIOTS OUT THERE ARE USING WINDOWS WHICH IS
POOR IN MY EXPERT OPINION. YOU SHOULD USE LINUX EVEN THOUGH IT IS HARDER TO USE AND RUNS LIKE SHIT.

MOUSE=ps2

what

O.o

I have a wireless card, and gentoo's own net script and wpa_supplicant has turned it to "radio off". And it does that when it can not associate. How do I get it back on? I got ipw2200 :/

it works quite well, even if it is fussy about the format of the hashes

typical M$ rep.

try PS/2 then. maybe ctrl alt backspace isn't enough

:-)

I exited X.

if you have a point about the market share that windows holds, you are not very expert, in my oppinion.

stop screaming

And PS/2 didn't work, either…

rofl @ n3kl

Why tell us, this is a linux channel..

maybe its not the protocol then

Don't use Capital Letters Please

i think pujol was actually directing a backhanded compliment towards linux

moreon++

lol

Quite possible…

which means hes really supporting M4?
*M$

the article or the patches for john? YOu have first hand with this?

Use it only when you want to cry something!

cat /etc/conf.d/gpm | grep MOUSEDEV=

MOUSEDEV=/dev/input/mice

grep MOUSEDEV= /etc/conf.d/gpm
no need to cat

I'm running john on an hpc cluster atm

This is just turning into a cat-and-mouse game anyway…

i'm running out of ideas

heh

gentoo, I am assuming? I have been working myself up to a cluster recently, no up to three devent machines. Any advice/links?

try Option "Buttons" "5"
or how many buttons you have

is using a desktop machine in the mix going to cause any trouble?

the cluster is rocks, but the JtR-mpi tarball compiles from source pretty easily

What do those numbers mean?

which numbers?

"is rocks" is a good thing, yes? =]

4 5 6 7 …

its the axises

What's the difference between /dev/input/mice and /dev/input/mouse0?

rocksclusters.org, it's pretty well designed

you could try deleting 6 and 7

I didn't have 6 and 7 before you told me to add them…

its a different driver

Right - but what does it mean?

Awesome. Thanks for the insight. I think I am going to set it up this week and try and make my desktop machine work with a couple other cross-platform machines. wish me luck =]

i can't do any better than that, sorry

no problem, have fun

is it illegal to mention 'e' in here?

e?

e17

no

UndrWater, why would it be ?

unsupported software etc…

oh, didnt know that it wasnt supported. anything gentoo is usually ok

ah, rocks is a distro. I see

I do appreciate your help - but I guess this has gotten both of us puzzled.
What is e17?
I thought that e=2.718281828…

this site has a lot of options you can try in it http://www.arl.wustl.edu/~mgeorg/linuxOnLaptop/xorg.conf.html

enlightenment window manager

e17 is another DE like Gnome or KDE

anyone know when kde4 is released?

sometimes this fall

neat

e17 is more of niche DE though

technically enlightenment is still just a wm
but it certainly does seem to be going the way of the DE

Thanks - I'm looking through that now…

is it still being developed? I thought it was discontinued

AFAIK it's still being developed, yes

Oh, good

welcome

enlightenment seems to me like the emacs of the window management world

e16 isn't, maintained, but not developed. e17 is under dev though

…that's a terrible comparison

ok
regarding the USE flags

…just completely terrible :p
e is in no way like emacs :p

is it a good or bad idea to put CPu optimisastions such as sse, 3dnow, and mmx?

I haven't used it for years, maybe it's gotten better

*optimizations

I haven't, either

can be, i'd wait and see how many pacakges you end up with that use them though

Use what is appropriate for your processor.

USE flags?

vi4eva

yes

good idea

surely you mean CFLAGS?

my cpu uses sse mmx and 3dnow

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags

then read the gcc x86 documentation
and find which compile flags need adding to your global CFLAGS

he's not even talking about CFLAGS

anyone else trying to get an amd64 laptop with the BCM43xx wlan card going?

oo

i can't do it using ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant
unless my wpa_supplicant.conf is wrong
when i open wpa_gui it says it can't associate with the driver

This is insane…

those flags that appear with cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags are USE flags? can/should I enable them?

not all of them are use flags

alright
im at the step of cofniguring the kernel
someone said to use GenKernel just before i get to this

hmm… if they are USE flags (but arent documented) will they appear in use.desc?

do not know

ok, thanks

can somebody tell me which radeon driver I need for this card? http://rafb.net/p/aD84Y344.html

welcome

Tehxt, what bcm is it ?

has anyone here actually successfully emege e17?

bcm4318

great, I had enabled mmx, then disabled, and now i see my processor actually DOES support mmx, oh well…

i'm having difficulties getting ecore to pull in libecore_dbus.la

i used to do have this card go with bcm43xx-fwcutter
and the firmware file
is there a way i can do that in gentoo?

Tehxt, might not work well or at all with the native kernel modules. i would suggest trying it, if it doesnt work, then you might want to cheat and use ndis. read this http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-547687.html

ok mattmatteh

O.O

do you know where the firmware belongs
where to plac eit

Tehxt, uhh, i havent used wireless in a while. but i think that thread tells you how.

how do i unmodprobe?

modprobe -r

rmmod

someone told me to use "emerge -uD genkernel" when i got to step on configuring the kernel

rmmod

man modprobe :p

or maybe i'm wrong?
nope, i'm write
right

rite

hey guys, I'm trying to get LIRC working with the creative Extigy and exaudio_remote module, it tells me to use mknod for /dev/ir pointing to 252 in /proc/devices, but i have no clue how to use mknod

any idea on how i can use parted to resize my / reiser partition? the install disk doesnt support reiser
and i cant use it normally because its mounted

if any care I thought I'd blurb this http://blog.funtoo.org/2007/07/so-can-i-have-gentoo-back.html

I would just find a gparted livecd

ok

he actually came in and linked it

have you tried the gparted livecd?

ah did he? cool

I was half-surprised blackace or doc|home didn't ban him for being "off topic"

you were quicker on the draw

you should read planet larry

no i havent

huzzah, planet larry!

lol

planet larry?

http://larrythecow.org/

http://planetlarry.org/
gentoo users blogs
drobbins is on there
! pingzor

i habitually check it

the instalation with the minimal cd, take how much space ?

depends on what you install
you can get it down to less than a gig
I think.
dont quote me on that.
in fact, just ignore me completely.

hmm

check this ou man

is bcm43xx built into the kernel automatically now?

out

it's not on the list of wireless network device drivers

Im trying out something called Planet Venus
http://planetlarry.org/venus/
still moving over the old template, logo etc.
its much faster.
and has more fun options.
whee.

hey guys, is there a way to get a progress bar on dd?

oh well
i guess until this is solved i'll just browse the web wirelessly only in windows
broadcom sucks
and also ati
although now i finally got DRI working

anything special i should notice besides the speed?

mmm.
apparently the atom feed is much better too
I havent actually bothered to do a diff yet.

it doesn't appear to load right on my system

what feed reader?

venus

er, client I mean

no, i mean the html is coming up right

oh.
http://planetlarry.org/venus/atom.xml

like the giant purple date is in the middle of of this guys post

Tehxt, no wire ?

?

wha?

i'm getting somewhere with bcm43xx-fwcutter if i can find the module bcm43xx

Tehxt, only wireless on the laptop ?

whose?

only wired right now

then use that

but i want to be able to go places too and browse wireless on linux

Tehxt, it might work eventually

yes i know

Tehxt, keep trying, search the forums, and google

on this page http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_BCM43xx this person has bcm43xx module as an option in their kernel
is that gone now?

even if you find the module, there's no garantee it'll work with your chip

well i had some version of the module on ubuntu working fine

http://steveno.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/untitled.jpeg

Tehxt its still there, it depends on other modules being selected tho

completely working? that's good

oh yah

Tehxt if you turn on the right things, it'll show up

pretty much

I think thats cache issues.

tdr:
k

can you srip it from the deb?

ooh i'd like to try

Tehxt if yo useach (use / in the kernel config) it'll tell you the module deps

actually I think thats in his feed.

regular planet larry doesn't load like that

hmm.
weerd.

besides, planet tends to remove most formating anyway i.e. color

yah

tdr
awesome
i got it
thanks

Tehxt great man
Tehxt, i think you still might need some kind of firmware for that tho

yeah i have that
extracted to lib/firmware
which is where it seems to search
the live cd does at least
i had to modularise all my wireless support and then bcm43xx would show up
next reboot i'll know if this will work

Tehxt oh, it didn't work built in?

i have to reboot to make it work i think
then do modprobe bcm43xx

Uh
I wonder if my gentoo installation is recked?
I accidentlaly typed rm -rf etc, thenc anceled it.

Keith-BlindUser: probably
Keith-BlindUser: whats wrong?

when i do modprobe bcm43xx i get
Error inserting ieee80211_crypt (/lib/modules/2.6.20-gentoo-r8/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211_crypt.ko): Invalid module format

But now I cannot emerge at all. It says portage is missing or someting. And passwd is screwd up and stuff now.

so i think it needs to reboot into the new kernel

And I'm root

doh!

And it says portage group user group missing and thousands of permissions I can't give you poppd up.

i cant reboot until ooo finishes
ive been waiting forever

So
Oh yeah
The first thing it says to do is update the baselayout.
Then add thousands of things to passwd, etc
What the hell?
It says

does genkernel change the gentoo-sources or just compiles it? because i've heard that it makes a kernel that will autodetect the hardware each time?

Keith-BlindUser if your system still runs, start by just doing emerge baselayout

"Please update base layout. Then merge user 250 and group 250 into your passwd" Can a developer or someone with extremely high knologe of /etc on Gentoo help me out? I think I brooke my installation.

Keith-BlindUser, it probably starting deleting files, and generally it starts alphabetically

And I'm whiledly trying to repair it. Crap in /sbin in /etc is gone now too

Keith-BlindUser, i would go through the install and replace files in etc as you go. then at the end emerge -e world

I would boot into a livecd, get a stage3 and do a cp -avu /etc over

Crap

Im not sure if thats the best way.

I do not want to install!
Err Reinstall!

Keith-BlindUser: beandog's suggestion is not a reinstall

so, something happened to my gentoo installation in the process of switching the hdd between computers, and memory issues, and now when it boots, it gets to "Entering Runlevel 3" and then the next line is the login prompt. It says "This is (none).unknown_domain"

Keith-BlindUser does the /etc/passwd file exist?

when i put the username in and hit enter, it sits there for several seconds, and then just shows the username prompt again.. any ideas?

Nope apparently not.
It began deleting files
and zeroing out stuff in the file system.
So

it's on-topic, but it's not support

that's a contradiction

fair point

Keith-BlindUser, i didnt suggest reinstalling.. just go through the install wiki hosting and check for each file that should be in etc, if its not there or wrong, create or fix it. then you should emerge -e world and pay attention to etc-update when
done

Okay look..I have all kinds of files in /etc that I need to keep around also.
Look
Can someone ssh into my boxas root?

Keith-BlindUser, no, that is not recommended by gentoo at all

Keith-BlindUser, if passwd is missing, no one can ssh in

Keith-BlindUser: no, we don't allow that here

I need to speak to someone in PM. This will not do. I'll be in #Blind-Gentoo-Administration. If anyone wants to help, I suggest joining and opening a PM session. I cannot keep with one message in here atm. So..See you all later.

Keith-BlindUser: right, so boot into a stage3, and do cp -avu
Keith-BlindUser: that'll replace whats missing, nothing more

I'd like to have a grub entry for booting the system without X, just like the livecd does with the 'nox' boot parameter. How is that done?

how come you are not allowed to ssh into someones system?

It's impossible for me to keep up with even one message in this channel. And I have a criticle server box that I need someone to help me remotly repair. I suggest extreme experience, no newbie however.

yahy1, i dont think you can. why not boot with out x starting, then if you want x, startx ?

I cannot aford a newbie using ssh on the livcecd, ora nything. I cannot oford mistakes either at this point..considering that half of /etc is screwd.

Keith-BlindUser: Right, but if you re-add what is missing, you at the very least have a chance.

I have no idea how much it whiped before I control cd it..but portage is cirtinly not owrking.

does genkernel change the gentoo-sources or just compiles it? because i've heard that it makes a kernel that will autodetect the hardware each time?

I have a intel hda based soundcard on alsa, and the sound works, but the mic input is nonexistant and there is no mic-boost option like on windows.. how do I add one?

working
So BRB

how do i convert .jpgs into .mats for 3d studio??

Joint he spessifyed channel if you wish and open a PM session, I'll be there in a second.

Genkernel pretty much just turns everything on in the kernel.
Better to configure it yourself..

it's just that most time's i want X. so I want that to be default. And I know it's possible because the livecd does it

yahy1, the livecd does that with runlevels i think

will genkernel –menuconfig work?

That's teh only way I will be delivering info to anyone here. I cannot trust anyone in ths cahannel, and am cirtinly not going to give information publically. Now, I'm switching to the other channel. Find someone with experience in #Gentoo-opps or someting else if you folks must to handle
this, but this is a very chriticle sitatuion.

yes
genkernel –menuconfig all

he doesnt trust me. bummer.
:C

situation
And the box has been down enough as it is.

i trust you beandog

anyone here use 3d studio?

And users are shouting at me and demanding it brought back to full status as soon as possible.

thanks bro

nitbix_, genkernel –install –menuconfig all

And I am having a lot of trouble following your instructtions. Accessibility technology is dying on this box all the time.

Keith-BlindUser, i think several people here suggested how to fix it. please go try…… we are not your paid tech support

anyone know why my installation would go to a login prompt immediately after entering runlevel 3? and not let me log in

sounds like some borken libs.

PSU_Boss didn't set a password?

alright, my new kernel is compiling… is there anything that I should be changing in the actual system?

Thanks for your help, But I really am insisting on remote assistance from an experienced person in this chanel. If no such person is present, then I suggest trying to find someone who you guys may know as a friend. I am at this point not trusting myself to screw up the system
mnore..

Keith-BlindUser: you could actually learn how to do what people pay you for, thats always an option

tdr, i do have a password, just something got screwed up, and when i enter a username, it just goes right back to the username prompt

what's the emul-x86 package that would have libgcrypt.so?

Keith-BlindUser: solaris may have been a better solution for you than gentoo…just for future reference…much better accessibility support

Keith-BlindUser: would ssh even work? thats the big question.

beandog, any idea on how to fix it?

UndrWater his gentoo installs normally work fine
Keith-BlindUser start by re-emerging baselayout and shadow

reboot into a livecd, chroot, check for broken libs … re-emerge pam, shadow, stuff like that. revdep-rebuild if you can.

if I have a Intel core 2 quad Q6600, what -march should I use?

isn't his portage b0rked?

I dont think portge was working

nocona

how did it go?

Thank you

Keith-BlindUser: does emerge break?

install isn't what he's complaining about…he mentioned that accessibility always broke…solaris is good with that

Talcite I switched to AHCI
and it worked
What exactly is AHCI anyway _

ahh that's the name. I was trying to remember it in my head =P
basically it allows for IDE compatibility. Lots of OSes need it
there should be 3 choices in bios. Don't change them anymore or you'll break the system
you can reformat and change if you want though

/leave

Yeah. Theres RAID, IDE and AHCI

hmm wait were you on raid?

Also, besides march, what CFLAGs should I use for my box

http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#Intel_Core_2_Duo.2FQuad_.2F_Xeon_51xx.2F53xx

beandog, it's not just a login problem though.. it doesn't do all of the things it normally does after entering runlevel 3.. for instance, it doesn't load the network. it just shows "This is (none).unknown_domain" and the prompt right away

I'm going to stage1 it up
with -O3
I think

stage1? 0.o

right, different symptoms, probably same problem.

Talcite its what ive been doing for years
yes yes, I know, its not supported anymore

I never understood the difference between the stages

but feh
whatever
3 the norm

ahaha that's the way to go =P

Anyway, /me goes back to bootsrappin

hey guys, if we compile something from source, outside of portage I mean, how do you remove it?
make uninstall?

yeah

i dont know why, but mplayer is so laggy even with xvid avi… ive never had a problem like this on previous gentoo installations. what am i doing wrong?

assuming the makefile has an uninstall option

Talcite if it has a make uninstall

whats it dong
doing

pieman i see, are there any options with make uninstall? like not ripping everything out of the system? =/

pastebin me your emerge -pv mplayer

ahh… it depends on the makefile? =/
hmm…

it just laggs the video beandog

this stupid ubuntu system doesn't like my audio

Taladar, this is not ubuntu

I'm recompiling my gentoo system with the sound module
mattmatteh lol I know that =P

:/

Taladar, if you installed your tarball to /usr/local then it should only be in usr/local

just run make uninstall as root in the folder you compiled the app in and see if it works. it should lol

maybe i have something enabled in make.conf that conflicting?

so the uninstall should just remove it from their

it should remove everything it installed

paste?

Talcite, what did you install outside gentoo ?

ill paste my make.conf

that wont help

Has anyone found anyone yet for this severe issue?
Because

it was in the ubuntu system, I have no sound on my gentoo yet. It's only for programming

Now I need a Gentoo developer.

what do i paste beandog.

guys If I change my use flags how can rebuild all the packages afected by this change?

there are no errors

Keith-BlindUser: Ive offered to help you numerous times, and btw, Im a dev, but I get ignored. :B

it was the ALSA driver, lib and utils

emerge –newuse world

yes

Keith-BlindUser: we do not log into other people
's boxes

yah, like doc|home said.
is bad idee.

tnks

You can however get professional Gentoo support

I'm going to need someone who has severe experience in apache, Php, Mysql, IRCds, you name it. This is much worse then just /etc itself. My entire network users aredepending on is toally screwd, talking technology that lets me use Gentoo..etc. The situation is out of my hands almost.
So

Keith-BlindUser: are you a member of a lug?

can someone tell me how to replace gnome foot icon with gentoo icon. tried putting it to /usr/share/pixmap didnt work

make uninstall likes to rip everything out of the system, including vital libs =/. I can't log back in even after installing ALSA stuff through the repos

Also

in what way does the Scheduler , AS , CFQ affect system performance and which one is good?

I started bootstrap but forgot to add a cflag I wanted to use
how do I force it to start over
entirely
it keeps resuming it

Talcite, i dont install outside of portage, so i dont really know

it's alright, thanks =D

wow what the

emerge -e world

whoa, server split
don't see those too often

steveno I am using /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap

And I am totaly imcapable of following one simple instruction as it is. Bairly anything is working here as it is. SSH will be required. There is no avoiding that. Now all I'm going to have a lot of toruble is finding a person to join #Blind-Gentoo-Administration. I cannot jjoin all these
channels asking for help. I need help here, and the sooner it can be located, the better this chriticle box may be saved without an reinstall

that will recompile everything, but changing CFLAGS is dangorous

http://rafb.net/p/DuVh3z94.html (i just recently added the codecs to make.conf, previously they were in package.use)

why skype is masked? I have skype installed but what happend if I have a package installed on gentoo and then it is masked on portage? my what happend with my installed package?

? err… I thought skype was closed source

steveno its a fresh install

you're not here that often I take it Talcite unless the app has a make uninstall option, you're out of luck

Wich I need, to be active before this box ever reboots. And much much much more. I needsomeone who has time, and who is ready to learn a huge deal fast if they don't already have prior experience.

ahh no, I'm relatively new to gentoo, only 2 months.

Keith-BlindUser, this is not paid gentoo support, would you please stop whinning

i've been trying hard to learn though =D

Keith-BlindUser: we're well aware that you're blind, that won't change anything. We do NOT log into other people's boxes.

okay, paste emerge -pv mplayer pleez.

too late i unmerged it

Keith-BlindUser: I suggest you find a professional who you would be willing to pay to fix the problem

hold on beandog ill emerge again

Keith-BlindUser: we're sorry, we can't help you.

Damn it. I'm whiping Gentoo then.

Keith-BlindUser: dude

Keith-BlindUser: or someone on your local lug who is friendly and who you can trust

This is unacceptable.

at least TRY my freaking suggestion.
my heck.
dont quit.

Keith-BlindUser: you can go to any distro you want. No one would do what you're asking

yeah dont give up, sink or swim
get the live cd and get a new stage3

lol he's already sunk

I swear he must have me on ignore
someone else tell him my suggestion.

don't be like that please

My net isn't working here. I'll have to use the environment on the Install CD.
I'm using anohter connection to talk.

Keith-BlindUser: why don't you listen to beandog?

roger, sorry

np

steveno meh, I can run that later..but I would like to run bootstrap over

net split yayyyyyy

doc|home you know? How can I force it to start over again

oh noes i may be next, hurry up emerge

on a bootstrap

start what?

i can't help you with that, sorry

I was in the middle of one, but I killed it as I forgot a cflag I wanted to use

bootstrap is stage one. We don't support those.

hey
what's the package containing compiz fusion?

doc|home i'm aware, i'm not asking for help with a stage1 setup
i'm asking for help with the bootstrap.sh script
which comes in your stage

Oh god

which means, you should support it

Your gonna need xeffects to install Compiz Fusion

#gentoo-xeffects

the /etc/passwd file is whiped to.
I'm probably better off at reinstalling.

no, that's for dev use. Please follow the handbook.

Keith-BlindUser: ping, pong, please respond.

I'll just screw it up more. I've already prooven that.

doc|home can you please just answer the question?
I'm sure you know..

Amd beandog No. Your not on ignore. You may wish to PM me your suggestion. I missed that. As for getting the stage I'm sunck.

by the way guys… is it acceptable to compile a kernel without using make clean?

no, I won't

I only added a few options

use the stage 3 install please

yeah, it should be fine

doc|home why are you being so lame?

of course

ahh ok good. thanks guys

yes

why are you not following the handbook?

kernel compiles take a long time =/

PeanutHorst, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_compiz-fusion

hampster.

so, now i can't chroot into my gentoo installation from the live cd, because my /bin directory on my gentoo installation is empty

doc|home ive done it this way for years
i'd rather not change

and be more respectful to me please. Name calling is not acceptable.
then you should know how to do it.

heh, that'll do it.

I do know how to run it, I just don't know how to force it to totally restart the process as ive never had to before
as it keeps resuming

again, it's not supported here.

beandog, i have no idea how that happened.. should i copy the bin directory from another installation?

there's a reason it was removed from the list of supported install methods.

um
hows it coming?

emerge

is that a no?

i cant tell how far it is
donE!

??? you dont have to emerge it
buh
emerge -pv mplayer
ey SwifT

i told u i unmerged it

do you know what -p does?

pretend

hahhahaha

hi beandog

right ….

-p pretend

oy.

but i dont want pretend i want real

octavarium, he wanted to check may be use flags you get with it
octavarium, why dont you listen to him rather than just assuming

how do i wgetpaste the output of that?
bdf read above
i didnt just assume anything i had unmerged it prior to asking for help so i wanted to put it back the way it was
i feel stupid
but seriously how do i pastebin emerge -pv ?

octavarium, dont , its ok, you learn more when you screw up

filename then wgetpaste the file filename

emerge nopaste; emerge -pv foobar |nopaste

ok so output to a file then pastebin the file

well, copying the /bin directory from another gentoo installation allowed it to boot correctly.. but i'm sure it's not gonna work right, since it doesn't have all of the same packages.. should i do an emerge -u world ?

is it possible to put a terminal into the background of kde?

no

hmm… that's weird. my ndiswrapper module disappeared after I compiled the new kernel 0.o

use pipes
man
what is up with me getting ignored tonight.
:C

gday… is there any way to adjust sound in applications but make it so that it doesn't affect the 'global' volume?

well, copying the /bin directory from another gentoo installation allowed it to boot correctly.. but i'm sure it's not gonna work right, since it doesn't have all of the same packages.. should i do an emerge -u world ?

http://rafb.net/p/ZpzSVH29.html

mm, Id do emerge -e system
in a chroot.
thank you sir

beandog, in a chroot? not from the native booted system?

misc–, i'm not sure about it but i think once i've read that pulseaudio can do it, but i havn't tried it myself

right.

i guess my video card isnt available in mplayer what does that mean?

that youre fine.

no fglrx part in mplayer

use -vo x

ah ok thanks

use -vo xx
askl;alskjf
use -vo xv
third time's the charm

octavarium, it'll still work

but it laggs tdr

octavarium, enable soft frame droppping

your use flags look fine, too
and what do you mean by lagging

howto?

mplayer -vf framedrop

framedrop doesnt exist
or use that when i run the file? i dont understand

octavarium do use the gui of it? gmplayer?

i dont have the gui mplayer
but i thought i had done something wrong

mplayer -vf framedrop file.avi

media-video/mplayer
let me try that real quick

hey. Why doesn't unzip *zip work? how should I be doing this?

doesnt work

filename not matched: size3_71.zip for every file.

do i need opengl in mplayer?

no

anyone got filezilla to build in amd64?

johntramp ls *.zip |xargs unzip ?

for x in *.zip; do unzip $x; done; ? I guess.
or xargs might work

im gonna just put what i want in package.use and tell u how that goes

octavarium, if you include gtk for mplayer u get the gui

oh ok

changing your use flags isnt goig to help
heck, I dont even understand what your problem is.

octavarium adding the custom-flags flag for it might make it a bit better

thats so much more complicated. ill try it.

i dont understand it either, but i have never in any previous version of gentoo installation had this lagg on these encodes

oh

seemed to work ok. cheers

encodes!
you didnt say that!
I think its a problem with xvid, Im getting the same thing … like 7 fps on a dual core.

Guys, why cannot i render fonts properly in vlc/xine subtitles on gentoo

no fish im sorry

mplayer works fine.

mplayer ftw

So i know very well its got nothign to do with Xorg font extensions.

pastebin emerge -pv foo

beandog, do'h. no can do. am at work. but thought I'd ask anyway.

thats no better beandog

I've thought of posting to gentoo forums too. but then when I take a snapshot, subtitles don't appear on it.
anywhos, I'll check in later, thanks all.

yah, what did I do to get around taht…
buh
now they ignore and walk out on me.

beandog, hahahha , its ok, thats the price you pay for helping others

heh

im still here

argh! ndiswrapper is driving me insane
wireless in generally actually

I dunno what to tell you man. xvid, I knew about, dunno. everything else, Im not sure what the problem is… need more details.

I use the bcm43xx kernel driver, but it doesn't work with WEP, so I uncompile it and then use the ndiswrapper
now my ndiswrapper doesn't work with WPA2
damn thing…

ill work on it and tell you if i solve it

I've been working on this internet thing for almost 1 1/2 months now

ok

is there a way to -all
except what you specify?

how do i install an RPM with gentoo?

err…

rpm with gentoo ?

you might be able to find a program like alien
converts rpm to deb, but you know, source instead

well, first off I just want to install light scribe drivers/software

rpm2tar

hmm and they're all rpms?

rpm2targz

the only ones I could find

well there you go, weedy's got it

but it's the official site, and they support linux, so that's nice.

then write an ebuild

thanks Weedy

really? that's pretty cool
=S you have to write your own ebuild? =/

Talcite, I have no idea what an rpm is really anyway. an installer I guess. I'll just wing it with rpm2tar
