Re: [gentoo-user] gnome 2.2...
I did it the safe way... (see below) and it seems good. No ~x86. I like the gnome 2.2... yea! Here is how I would do all major upgrades (I consider an emerge of 50 packages a major upgrade): mkFS /dev/unusedpartition #I use reiserfs (call it /dev/new) #edit fstab adding a /mnt/new mount of the new partition... mount /dev/new /mnt/new cd / tar -lpf - . | ( cd /mnt/new && tar -xvf - ) cd /mnt/new chroot . mount proc -t proc /proc #emerge wants these file systems avail. mount none -t devfs /dev emerge -un world #edit the fstab (in the chrooted world) changing the root partition to /dev/new Now add boot configurations to the grub.conf in your boot partitions, and boot the new partition as the root partition. If every thing is ok, your old root partition will be your new root partition the next time you want to do a big upgrade. This is safe because if the emerge is craps out you can always boot the orginal root partition, and you can use your system safely while it is happening.

RE: [gentoo-user] What to do when emerge don't work?
Resolution. I cheated. I scp'ed the file from another box and then rebuild gcc. I'm now rebuilding glib and a couple of other ebuilds. I think qpkg is hosed to because qpkg -f /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/libstdc++.so.5 does not return anything. * Cal Evans * Stay plugged into your audience. * http://www.christianperformer.com -Original Message- From: Matt Tucker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 5:19 PM To: Cal Evans Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] What to do when emerge don't work? -- Cal Evans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> spake thusly: > I just did an emerge -u world > > One of the packages updated was gcc but I didn't watch everything > compile.

It's possible that what happened to you is similar to what just happened to me on two different systems. My portage counter (/var/cache/edb/counter) got reset or something, which made Portage think that newly emerged packages were older than existing ones. When AUTOCLEAN kicked in, Portage started deleting things like /lib/ld-linux.so.2 and /lib/ld-2.3.1.so. Not cool. You can test whether this is happening (once you've rescued Portage) by doing 'emerge -p clean' and seeing if Portage is planning to remove older versions instead of newer of any packages. If it is, you can fix it by altering the relevant COUNTER files under /var/db/pkg manually, or write a semi-quick shell one-liner to do it automatically. In the meantime, I'd recommend disabling AUTOCLEAN in make.conf until you get things straightened out (although be sure to turn it back on and do 'emerge clean' once you do). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Not the fastest things on earth, but why not check out what's available at http://www.mini-itx.com. Basically they offer small form-factor motherboards with pretty much everything on-board. They all run Via processors (some with fans, some fanless), and are well supported in the kernel (the guys on there seem to do a lot of linux 'experiments' with their stuff :-) They also have a variety of cases and stuff, but if you're looking to build something yourself, you'll probably want a huge case, and then try and fit 3 or 4 of those boards in it - I have an old HP Netserver sitting here right now doing nothing that I was thinking of doing something similar with at some point when I find some time (and money) - something like that would be ideal.

[gentoo-user] Arkeia crash on gentoo clients
(CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Hi, I run Arkeia 5.0.14 clients (IA32 Intel, Glibc 2.2) on Gentoo 1.4.1.1 (glibc 2.2.5) servers. Also running on the clients is the Arkeia mysqlplugin. (5.0.14) Configuration is standard. If i use the network navigator (xarkeia) i can browse all clients without problems, sometimes a client dies _after_ the access with the network navigator. It seems that if the arkeia server trys to connect the clients the arkeiad process crash. I also tested it without having the mysql plugin running, same situation. To install the mysql plugin i had to link /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.9 -> /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10 after that navigation in mysql wasnt a problem.

Re: [gentoo-user] mjpeg tools: new error
search bugs.gentoo.org for mjpeg problems. Someone on there posted a solution that worked for me. My problem was that I was using kde3 and recently upgraded to kde 3.1 and several files were still pointing to libraries in the old kde3 folder. So the solution is to find those files and reemerge those packages and they'll point to the new libraries in the kde 3.1 folder.

[gentoo-user] Problem getting gentoo on a HP laptop
I have a HP Pavillion ze4125 laptop that I currently have RedHat 8.0 running on it and would like to give Gentoo a try. In order to get redhat installed on it I had pass the nopcmcia and nousb options to the kernel during the install to get it to boot because there is a known problem with the pcmcia hardware on this laptop and linux. I try passing theses same options when trying to install Gentoo 1.4 rc2 using the livecd and it doesn't get very far before completely freezing. The last line I have during the kernel load is: ACPI-0263: *** Info: GPE Block0 defined as GPE0 to CPE63. I've tried pretty much all of the boot parameters listing by pressing F2. I've tried nopcmcia, nousb, noapic, acpi=no, nonet, noscsi.

[gentoo-user] Build farms
Hi people, I'm thinking potentially, but what I would like to do is build a few pcs who's sole purpose is building software, (via distcc or openmosix). I'd like them to be as small and as cheap as possible, containing only the essentials and preferably being quiet, but that's not important. So basically I want to find some all inclusive motherboards that run well under linux, and have acceleration in the right places for compiling, (what does accelerate compiling? memory bandwidth? CPU clock? L2 cache?), and a net card with decent 100 FD throughput. Then, why not try and fit more than one of them in a box.. I can custom make it, so is there any hardware that could be added to this to aid in distributed compiling? Any ideas at all... MAL -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Yes, if KDE has something use it - kups would be a last resort. You might have to go in and configure the printer through it's properties.

[gentoo-user] KWin, the crasher
Hello all, I finally got KDE working (sort of) and it even displays truetype fonts. When I try to configure it from the control panel I keep getting the nice friendly message "Kwin crashed and caused the signal 11, etc". This seems to happen when I try to change the preferences regarding anti-aliasing and sub-pixel sampling (for a LCD monitor). So the point is how is one supposed to configure whatever? I don't find anything of interest at the KDE site (the same goes for GNOME, BTW.) If the control panel is broken, is there a way to configure from the command line? And, more to the point, is the relevant information available to the end user (as opposed to buried somewhere)? Cheers. -- Jorge Almeida -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] networked printers, cups and kde SOLVED
installing kups is a BAD idea if you're running kde3. turns out qt-cups and kups were the predecessors to kde's integrated print management system. if you want to install a network printer, follow the following steps: 1) emerge cups 2) in the control centre, go to peripherals > printers 3) right-click on the printers list above and select "add printer" 4) follow the wizard... easier than windows (c'ept the network scan doesn't seem to work on my box) 5) click "finish" linux is neeto.

Re: [gentoo-user] networked printers, cups and kde
Well, check under the KDE menus - system or one of the others and see it there is a kcups or some such thing labeled printer admin or something similiar. There was in KDE 2.x and I believe 3.x has it, too. If not you can merge it - I believe I've seen a kcups in the emerge - do an emerge -s cups | more and see what comes out.

[gentoo-user] No getting any bass on 5.1!
Hello, I have an Altec Lansing ADA995 5.1 system with turtle beach santa cruz sound card with alsa drivers and I'm not getting any bass only surround sound. It's driving me crazy. I've split the channels using kmix and find I only get bass if I make the two volume channels of different levels I lose bass but if they are of different levels I get bass and high volume on one side (left or right) depending on which side I increase. Is this a limitation of alsa drivers for this card? Or is there a way to add another channel for bass? What card could I get that has drivers supporting full 5.1 sound? Your suggestions would be much appreciated. It's about the only thing wrong with my gentoo system at the moment. Many thanks. Dhruba Bandopadhyay. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] umerge
After 2 days of hard-compiling, i had the same question. I'd tried an easy experiment, just mv /usr/kde/3 /usr/kde/anything. I started kde.3.0.4 and did'nt work (ok). I started kde.3.1 and worked (ok). So i did rm -rf /usr/kde/anything And kde.3.1 works fine. You can free at least 260MB removing /usr/kde/3. This works in my box, because i had kde.3.0.4 build from binaris, and i did emerge -u kde, so it replaced the "registry" (i suppose) but not removed the binarys. good luck -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
