[gentoo-user] Gentoo on a Toshiba Satellite 2410
I've installed gentoo on my a toshiba satellite 2410.. it went alot smoother than i expected - no problems at all. but i am having trouble getting xfree running. i can get it running fine at 800x600, but i can't get it going at 1024x768. 1024x768 is the native resolution. i've got the nvidia drivers installed properly and they are loading fine (800x600 works ok). when i try to load at 1024x768 i either get a white screen instead of the nvidia splash, or xfree can't find any usable resolutions. -- Mark Saunders [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cytek Pty Ltd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Gnome 2.2.1 Window Manager Choice
Hello, In /usr/portage/gnome-base/gnome/gnome-2.2.1.ebuild on line 22 it says: # Metacity was choosen as the default window manager because of sawfish's long time of non-working state. and on lines 93-95 it says: note that to change windowmanager to metacity do: export WINDOW_MANAGER=\/usr/bin/metacity\ of course this works for all other window managers as well Is this a contradiction? If metacity has been chosen as default window manager then why does it need to set again as default? I was thinking of trying out Gnome 2.2.1 and since I don't use Gnome much which window manager would you recommend that I should go with? Many thanks -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] System and World question
Arun Bhanu said: Hi, When I do a emerge system I get the following output(attached at the end of the mail). Notice that vim-6.1 appears in the update of system. As far as I know, vim is not part of system. Then why is it showing up in the system update. Vim will upgrade only if you have it installed. Verify by emerge -s vim. Otherwise a deep upgrade will install things only if they are dependencies of another package. The other question is that when I do a emerge world nano shows up in the list. nano does not show up in the system list but shows up in the world list of files to update. When I looked in /etc/make.profile./packages there is an entry of virtual/editor which is pointing to nano. I thought nano should be shown in the system list of files to update. Nano is set as the system's default editor just like grub is set as the system's default bootloader. To verify check /var/cache/edb/virtuals.

Re: [gentoo-user] VIA VT82C693A/694x ide trouble
Hi tiemo,
for me these errors are from the disk, yes a bad harddisk,
seen that often here with older disks.
if you can boot from another distro or the gentoo cdrom do following test
cat /dev/hda3 /dev/null # check the 3 partition of the disk
ATTENTION :to dev/null NOT or you wipe out youre partition
and wait if you see the same LBAsect numbers you have no luk replace you disk
i do not think is is udma or via support probleem therefore take a distro
thats works a do the cat test
oo take your disk to a other good working machine an locate youre disk for
example hdc
and do the
cat /dev/hdc /dev/null # check the full disk
so you read the fully disk if no errors it is the chipset but if you have
errors i think is in garanty for the disk replace it where you buy it.

Hi
I'am having trouble with my Via based mainboard. Everytime I try to e2fsck

Error Reading block 6324226 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted

After some things stop functioning, emerge for example has some ugly pythin
errors, and make menuconfig doesn't work either.
I am using kernel 2.4.20, I also tried the gentoo sources. I tried both with
and without Via support. I also tried to disable udma.
The really strange thing is that the gentoo boot CD has no trouble
whatsoever, but I can't figure out what the big dffirence is.
hda is a Maxtor 5T030H3, a 30gb 7200rpm disk.

Well, I HAVE my own ntp.conf and I WANT it used. Can anyone help me make this thing keep blowing my desired conf file away? The only line I have uncommented in /etc/conf.d/ntpd is NTPDATE_WARN=n .

I have a custom ntp.conf on my plaything gentoo box; all ntpd does on this box is maintain peer connections amongst all my home unix boxen (one of which syncs to outside sources). Whenever this box is rebooted (which is frequent as its also a new-kernel playground) something (I presume the ntpd startup script) proceeds to nuke my custom ntp.conf and replace it with the default ntp.conf, looking only at the internal clock. Well, I HAVE my own ntp.conf and I WANT it used. Can anyone help me make this thing keep blowing my desired conf file away? It's not ntpd that is messing you up, it's dhcpc. In your /etc/conf.d/net file is a line dhcpcd_eth0= line (eth0 should be replaced with whatever interface you are actually using dhcpc on) I think the line defaults to dhcpcd_eth0= but mine is now dhcpcd_eth0=-Y -N the -N tells it to stop messing around with the ntp.conf file, and the -Y tells it not to mess around with yp.conf. You can also add -R to protect the resolv.conf file, but I happen to want this one to update dynamically. On the other hand, if the dhcp server is under your control, you can have it send reasonable values for the ntp server settings and have it updated across your entire network. I personally don't thing they should have made this the default, but it is a lot easier to maintain a large network this way. -- Craig West Ph: (416) 567-1491 | It's not a bug, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | It's a feature... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] naive question about distcc

[gentoo-user] SOLVED sound opinions?
Thanks to 'nealbirch' and Bret Holcomb for suggestions. The solution was that I needed to emerge the alsa-driver (as well as rebuild kernel with only M support). I wanted to be sure there wasn;t something overlooked before rebuilding kernel. The quirky part is how I overlooked the distinction between alsa-driver and whatever the other driver is that 'make modules modules_install' makes. I had it in my head that the selection in 'make menuconfig' built the 1 and only sound driver needed for the card and that alsa was built on top of that so I just skipped the step in alsa docs where it says env ALSA_CARDS='ens1371' emerge alsa-driver So after doing that it plays beautifully. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] naive question about distcc
It is obvious you have never built any of these packages by hand. Almost all OSS packages today use the GNU configure scripts to configure them for building on a BUNCH of difference platforms. Linux being just one. These scripts build the actual makefiles that are used to compile the package on the fly. All gentoo's ebuild system does really is put a bunch of wrappers around the standard build scripts that each package uses. To do what you ask would require that the EVERY package (or most), to be modified to check a system database of available functions. No such database exists, on all unices, and if it did using it would not be as reliable as actually testing to see if the required function is available. I would not expect this to change. It works amazingly well across an amazing large set of platforms, and frankly, is once of the great portability achievements of the FSF.

It lays out a lot of things - which version of this, that, and the other you have, if you are compiling support for an option or disabling it (the Gentoo method for this is use flags), and checks to see if you have the required dependencies. You probably wouldn't see a huge speed increase - after all, how much longer does checking a file for an answer take over checking for a file? - but it would be massively difficult to implement. If you're looking to save time, you ought to look at ccache in addition to distcc. -- Alec Berryman [EMAIL PROTECTED] gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key DFB366F2 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
