[gentoo-user] What would cause Mozilla to not mozill?

Martin is right .. this is 99% chance it is framebuffer support. The nvidia driver and the framebuffer do not work at the same time. (this is documented by nvidia). So, if you have the framebuffer buildt as a module, remove it from your autoload; or remove it from your kernel configuration.

Hopefully someone can help with a problem I've had since Day One of using Gentoo. It has to do with which virtual terminal X11 inhabits. In all other flavors of Linux I've used (RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE, Debian...), Ctrl-Alt-F(7|9) will bring me back to my X session after I've used Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a command prompt. In Gentoo, however, trying this results in a hard system freeze -- even Alt-SysRq-B does nothing! :( My monitor shows No Signal! and goes into a Suspend state because of this, and I actually have to power down using the buttons on my case, then power up and boot to regain control. Obviously this does not help my uptime, when programs like Xine and Frozen-Bubble can bring my system to its knees. FYI, even if nothing is going haywire at the moment, and I just drop to a console to do some administrative task, I still can't get back to my X session. (Needless to say, I've made much more extensive use of su from Konsole lately than I ever did before... I used to just Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a text console, do whatever as root, then Ctrl-Alt-F9 back to X11.) If somebody knows how I can fix this, I would be very happy to share in that knowledge!

Hey All, According to the Linksys website I need to use the Tulip driver for my LNE100TX NIC. That said it won't load when I boot off the 3Stages RC3 CD. When I try to modprobe or insmod the tulip driver I get...

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems with Linksys LNE100TX and Tulip Driver
First things first, disable the plug and play option in the bios, then retry. That setting helps in windows, but historically (not necessarily recently) I've had problems with it while running slackware. I'm definitely not confident here, and someone more knowledgeable is welcome to jump in, but it's worth a try, right? :) gl Craig On Tue, 11 Mar 2003 13:15:46 -0500 Matt Neimeyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey All, According to the Linksys website I need to use the Tulip driver for my LNE100TX NIC.

Same perms as for all the other packages. Besides, I don't use the sandbox features, so emerge does run as root. I tried deleting the gtk+-1.2.10-r10 ebuild and redoing an emerge rsync. Changed nothing. I tried deleting the gtk+-1.2.10-r10 cache entry. Changed nothing. So, what exactly did I forget to do? I remember solving the very same problem not -that- long ago, but I don't remember how. I believe I just removed the faulty ebuild and re-rsync'ed... But in this case it didn't work. I'm sure it's just me being a dumbass and the solution is really simple. But I'd be very grateful if someone could enlighten me. :) -- S. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'm already having problems with my nvidia card and was wondering whats next. What are your problems? My very own experience (and the experience of a friend) is, tat the nvidia-cards are very easy to handle. Is gentoo such a difficult distro, or is my knowledge to little? It is a very easy distro if you read the installation docs and the Readmes. The XFree-Readmes and Nvida-glx Readme have a lot good advices. Having all this trouble i'm not surprised that linux on the desktop still is something for a happy few. When I installed gentoo 1.0 I needed something around 16h... and there was no problem, I followd the steps on the web site and everything was ok. When I installed gentoo 1.1a on a friends box, everything went smooth. When I adviced a fellow through the installation using icq, the greatest problem was, that the messages sometimes arrived in the wrong order. When the friend installed gentoo 1.2 on his laptop, he had some problems with his pcmcia-network card, but solved them with a little help from google. I even made the 1.2-1.4 update without trouble. In january a faulty udma-cable killed my installation, so I installed gentoo 1.4rc* with the help of an 1.2 boot-cd.. there I had some trouble, but after 2 days I had X and XFCE back ;o) And almost exactly a month ago one of my harddisks died (the one with everything important). I used a grp-cd to get a functional system (with some trouble, after the rsync, it wanted to install a lot of new packages, had to emerge almost every binary-package by hand.) and rebuild it since 'naturally' through a lot of 'emerge -u world's ;o). I came from slackware (started with SuSE), and gentoo is imho very easy to useinstall. The friend mentioned above and I tried to install debian couple of times on different boxes.. and always broke it up because of the (imho) difficult installation. This is not mended to start a flame but i must say it. ps (i'm quit happy whit my RH 7.3 can do more than windows) then, why change? I changed from SuSE to Slackware because of the simple structure of Slackware. It was faster than suse and I was happy. When I heard of gentoo, I was tired of getting the slackware-source.tgz and modifiying them by hand, only to have some decent optimiziations (not so important) or get rid of annoying depencies (very important). So I always had reasons to switch over. SuSE, Slackware are both great, but I was never really happy. Because of rpm-hell, because of a lot of boring work. I never changed from a system that made me 'happy' to a system that made problems. (I tried Mandrake, when I had SuSE 6.4 and hated it.) So, if your RedHat makes you happy, stay with it, because you got never hit by the rpm-depency-hell hard enough. and without this experience gentoo is not so great ;o) Glück Auf, Volker -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I work with other distro's for a few years now, and these two weeks make me feel like a idiot. A redhat or suse distro i can install within ours. The problem here is knowledge you already have. A Gentoo installation seems like a pain in the ass when you are so used to pointing and clicking an install and having things automatically done for you. In other words, you become spoiled with the walk away routine of other Linux distributions. A RedHat installation is almost identical to a Windows installation. A Gentoo installation is similar to a Linux From Scratch installation. You cant compare a Gentoo install to a Redhat install, just like you cant compare a Gentoo install to a Windows install... one is graphical and one isnt. A Gentoo install is even more complicated than a FreeBSD installation, even though administering a FreeBSD box might be a bit more difficult than administering a Gentoo box. Look @ the LFS book www.linuxfromscratch.org and compare it to Gentoo's install. The only way a LFS installation goes wrong is when you skip a section, jump ahead or try and do things your way. Ive noticed many pre-existing Linux users having a hard time with a Gentoo install, and I contribute it to the existing knowledge they already have on Linux. This prior knowledge makes many skip over steps outlined (very easily and straightforward I might add) within the Install How-To, because oh thats simple stuff. I'm not trying to gloat, but my first Gentoo install was painless and simple, because I followed instruction verbatim. I've noticed this in my introductory computer class @ college, the people that raised their hands up the first day of class when asked who had prior knowledge and computer background are the people that are getting c's and b's on their tests and quizes. This reason is due to them not studying the material at hand, because they have a background on the subject, so they ignore or do not bother with reading the books and information handed out because they have prior background. The people which stated no computer background are getting A's on all tests and quizes, due to them *HAVING* *TO* *READ* and *FOLLOW* *INSTRUCTIONS* *VERBATIM* and materials handed in class. It took me a few days to configure a usb-mass storage device and pcmcia wireless network. You're not alone. Weird how you actually have to configure stuff huh... I'm sure everything just works on Redhat. I find it a bit more pleasurable having spent a few hours making something work, than just having it work. You know I never had to battle with setting IRQ and i/o on hardware, because Windows always made it just work... installing Gentoo on another box using an older 3com 503 card made my life hell for a few hours, until I sat down and learned what those little jumpers did and what changing a few settings in the BIOS to Legacy ISA did... I can now apply that to any computer system I have and am able to use outdated hardware due to me spending a good day learning WTF was in front of me. Now my base system is working, and i will start with X11 and other applications. Congratulations! I'm already having problems with my nvidia card and was wondering whats next. I dunno.

Re: [gentoo-user] cdrecord permissions warning
I'm having the following warning whenever I try to burn CDs as a normal user with app-cdr/cdrtools-2.0 but not as root, and the user is a member of the group cdrw. The CD burns fine but it looks like theres still a problem somewhere with the permissions. cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using setpriority(). cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns. Those messages are relatively harmless. All they mean is that the burning program is unable to guarantee itself as much CPU time as it could possibly want. You can guarantee it that time by not running CPU-intensive programs while burning CDs - modern CPUs are way fast enough (I've done many flawless 8x writes using a 68040) for that to be easy. You can avoid the problem by using sudo or making the burning program setuid. Sudo is largely preferable in general because you can set relatively fine-grained permissions, but if you're the only user of the box you might prefer the convenience of setuid. -- -- from: Jonathan Chromatix Morton mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/ tagline: The key to knowledge is not to rely on people to teach you it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Installing Gentoo - going mad
I've noticed this in my introductory computer class @ college, the people that raised their hands up the first day of class when asked who had prior knowledge and computer background are the people that are getting c's and b's on their tests and quizes. I think it's known as a superiority complex. During a group project in a first-year course, I had to fill in work for a group member who didn't even show up to project meetings or respond to e-mail until the final week (when the rest of us were finishing integration testing and documentation). That group member had been the most vocal about his skills in class - but his excuse was that he'd been tied up with other coursework, which the rest of us had no trouble with either. Needless to say, my opinion of this, as stated in the project report, was less than pleased. Incidentally, when it came to graduation two years later, I understand that person got quite a low-grade degree, down among the guys who still couldn't read a simple C program in the third year. Arrogance didn't get him very far. The people which stated no computer background are getting A's on all tests and quizes, due to them *HAVING* *TO* *READ* and *FOLLOW* *INSTRUCTIONS* *VERBATIM* and materials handed in class. Ah, but wait, what are the tests covering? Is it just the stuff in class, or is it real-life stuff that is more generally applicable? If the former (this is common), then of course the ones who study will get higher grades - but the ones with the longer-term background knowledge might just be more able to do real-life jobs later on. Any overlap between the two groups might be purely coincidental, and depend largely on the integrity of the professors. I only got top marks in a few types of courses - others I only got average on, and a few were quite poor. When it came time to impress the industry partners, however, I narrowly beat out the top-marks guy with his flashy PowerPoint presentation, by using a very simple and plain presentation backed with plenty of background knowledge. This wasn't a fluke - in this economy and as a fresh graduate, I have a software engineering contract. By the way, I'm classified as a social retard. No way can I social-engineer my way through a presentation or interview, without something serious behind it. I say the above only to point out how far you shouldn't stretch an analogy. Your point was perfectly valid - people who *think* they know everything, often only do so in a limited field. -- -- from: Jonathan Chromatix Morton mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/ tagline: The key to knowledge is not to rely on people to teach you it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The first one is xscreensaver. With a normal emerge, it installs openmotif as the toolkit for xscreensaver. How do I emerge xscreensaver so I use the Gnome/GTK libraries rather than the openmotif variant. The other one is rhythmbox. It wants to install Gnome/GTK 2.0 libraries. How do I get the ebuild to use Gnome/GTK 2.2 instead. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. I have posted it to the forums but they seem a bit shy today ;-). Thanks and good luck. Craig

Re: [gentoo-user] Content (porn) Filter
even though this list perhaps shouldn't be used for a discussion like this i'll gladly add my opinion. though this time, from a child's point of view (since i've almost been through that beeing 18 now). i must say that i do agree with all of you're opinion. isn't it generally almost a fact, that just restricting a child to not do something, it will (often, but certainly not always) pretty much encourage them to find a way to get around it?! so, if you consider your relationship (as in understanding/getting on with/beeing able to explain things to your child) very well and you have the feeling they do too, then it definately is easier to just explain it to them (even if your relationship with them isn't all that good my opinion is, that you will, sooner or later have to explain this, and other things to them) and thus very likely prevent them from viewing offensive sites (at least at young ages - as the scotish standup comedian Billy Connolly explains in one of his sketches men/young boys generally do get a certain urge..). though for Michael's problem (work) the only thing you can really do (imho) is to block a few selecte hosts to keep the porn-banners from literally popping up in your face. i'd also suggest that this would be useful at home, though you wouldn't get around setting up squid/squidguard properly, that's the problem. for windows: there are various applications like netnanny for instance, though then you can easily have problems, like Susie wrote that children can't access hotmail.com from at home. as susie also said you could install mozilla and bannerblind, or in the case of using windows there are quite a few bannerblocking apps (not quite sure on the possibilities for other OS's) the problem you end up with in the end is that extensive configuration in the sense of adding sites manually is needed, as in my opinion it isn't the best idea to filter sites by just basically doing a few regexp matches on it's content - that will lead to unnecessarily blocked sites far too often. a little note to susie: well done on discouraging your son from using acros. i know what it's like when (some) people at school (accidentally?) use them, and it just scares me... luckily i never got into the habit of using them outside of irc-networks/e-mails/instant messangers. but to get back to the main point, as mentioned before: well done (even if it may not have been all that much work ;) -Brian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Anyway, with the exception of the XFree True, but that is not relevant to the very reasonable notion that default config files that have not ever been altered should be replaced by the new default configs when that application is upgraded. There are many ways to alert users that a new option needs to be set such as einfo (in ebuilds), without having to the force the user to consider each and every new/changed config file in turn when running etc-update. For example: when an application is newly installed there may be, and often is many options that need to be set, but we rely on einfo colorized/emphasized notification, documentation, and the users own knowledge and intelligence to ensure that the relevant options are set, not by forcing them to consider each config file. upgrade groan, we're not talking about a lot of time reviewing config files. The longest I've ever spent other than the XFree upgrade was five minutes. And that was after I had been in the hospital over a month and a lot of stuff had changed. So with the present system, we're looking at 15-20 minutes once or twice a year for XFree. Add in 5 minutes monthly or 2-3 minutes if you upgrade more often than monthly (nightly for me). Does not seem like a hardship to me for the peace of mind of not having any changes made unknowingly to my system. Because it's only a little bit annoying rather than alot doesn't mean the process can't or shouldn't be improved. Maybe you can get the maintaner of etc-update to add such a feature. I'll never use it. Just one screwed up config file will cost me more time debugging than it looks like I would spend in a year reviewing updated config files. That's true too, but you're not any more likely to have a screwed up config file by using a Auto-replace unchanged config files when new versions are installed feature, than you would if you were not using such a feature, assuming you are paying attention when upgrading. The rare user who would want to keep the old behavior of manually approving all replacements, should obviously have that available as an option. Two important features for me would be the ability for etc-update to keep config file backups from previous upgrades when the feature is used, and also being verbose by default during the process and letting me know what config files are being auto-replaced during the process, so that I can manually inspect replaced config files for important changes. cheers -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I found the descriptions posted so far a little ambiguous. So, I am posting this as an example of a working configuration... Note, it is important to different between sun-j2sdk and sun-jdk.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: etc-update
* Matthew Gatto [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2003-03-11 18:30:19 -0500]: Still not a good thing. There could be some new option in the config file that needs setting. Anyway, with the exception of the XFree True, but that is not relevant to the very reasonable notion that default config files that have not ever been altered should be replaced by the new default configs when that application is upgraded. There are many ways to alert users that a new option needs to be set such as einfo (in ebuilds), without having to the force the user to consider each and every new/changed config file in turn when running etc-update. I'll grant you this one. In fact I can see one instance where I wouldn't bother looking at the config file: if the einfo informed me that the changes consisted of adding the paths of package components, I would assume the ebuild knew where it installed them and got the config file correct. For example: when an application is newly installed there may be, and often is many options that need to be set, but we rely on einfo colorized/emphasized notification, documentation, and the users own knowledge and intelligence to ensure that the relevant options are set, not by forcing them to consider each config file. upgrade groan, we're not talking about a lot of time reviewing config files. The longest I've ever spent other than the XFree upgrade was five minutes. And that was after I had been in the hospital over a month and a lot of stuff had changed. So with the present system, we're looking at 15-20 minutes once or twice a year for XFree. Add in 5 minutes monthly or 2-3 minutes if you upgrade more often than monthly (nightly for me). Does not seem like a hardship to me for the peace of mind of not having any changes made unknowingly to my system. Because it's only a little bit annoying rather than alot doesn't mean the process can't or shouldn't be improved. I would never make such an argument. Sorry that it came across that way. My concern is that the improvements don't jepordize the integrity of my system. If that requirement is accepted, including giving me the ability to be paranoid when I feel it necessary, I'm all for simplifying things. Maybe you can get the maintaner of etc-update to add such a feature. I'll never use it. Just one screwed up config file will cost me more time debugging than it looks like I would spend in a year reviewing updated config files. That's true too, but you're not any more likely to have a screwed up config file by using a Auto-replace unchanged config files when new versions are installed feature, than you would if you were not using such a feature, assuming you are paying attention when upgrading. Assuming that the person is replacing the files with inspecting the diffs, yes. However, I always inspect the diffs so there are times an auto-replace would be less safe. The rare user who would want to keep the old behavior of manually approving all replacements, should obviously have that available as an option. So I'm rare, eh? I wonder how much I would fetch at Christy's... lol I don't think the maintaner could be talked into removing it anyway so this is a non-issue. Two important features for me would be the ability for etc-update to keep config file backups from previous upgrades when the feature is used, and also being verbose by default during the process and letting me know what config files are being auto-replaced during the process, so that I can manually inspect replaced config files for important changes. Those would be important to me as well before I would consider using an auto-replace feature. Since I've thought of at least one instance where auto-replace would be useful, maybe adding the option auto-replace all remaining config files would be a good compromise. Then the person who doesn't want to see all the diffs could select that the first time etc-update presents him with its menu while someone like me could go through the configs like now and select the option when there are just a few left that are known safe to auto-replace. Probably should even be added as a command line option for someone who is going to auto-replace all the config files. cheers and to you as well -- Thomas M.

[gentoo-user] Install problem w/ Thinkpad
Hi all, I'm trying to install gentoo on a Thinkpad laptop. I've go gentoo installed, but when I boot it, it freezes after starting local. It will boot into single user mode. It locks up when I try to shutdown. There is nothing in /etc/runleves/default/ Should I blow it away and start over, or does someone know how to fix this?
