[gentoo-user] how can I have a /proc/bus/usb with kernel "linux-2.4.21_pre6-gs" ?
hello all, It seems that I don't have no /proc/bus/usb after a kernel build. I have searched but couldn't find in the 'menuconfig' no reference to /proc into USB menu, and in the filesystems menu no /proc/usb option. since that I have to use a Windows XP as a gateway because I can't launch my speedtouch connection!

[gentoo-user] Question on Portage
Why is there 2 of pretty much every ebuild? I ask as I noticed awhile back there seems to be ebuilds in both /var/db/pkg/ and /usr/portage/ Isn't that redundant? Don't we need just one copy of an ebuild per package? I'm just curious why... Anyways other than that why even with my frequent rsyncs do I have some fairly old ebuilds in there? I can see the testing/new being masked being in the tree and the current stables being in the tree but why are some fairly old versions in the tree? -- Susie VE7 HFA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://arienadean.tripod.com/ --- "Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart." - Kahlil Gibran -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Sandbox problems when creating ebuild
Hello list,
I'm creating an ebuild for GRASS GIS, and I'm having sandbox problems
that my inexperience is preventing me from fixing. GRASS wants to
create a directory called grass5, and the directory creation is what's
causing the errors.
Currently, the part of my ebuild that sets the install dir looks like
this:
${S}/configure \
--prefix=/opt \
--bindir=/usr/bin \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
${myconf} || die "./configure failed"
The error I'm getting is as follows:
- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY-
LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-grass-5.0.1-31564.log"
mkdir: /opt/grass5
---
How can I fix this?
Thanks,

[gentoo-user] mp3blaster
After getting sound working on my console-only, 4 gig server box I became dissatisfied with mpg123 when I couldn't pause it interactively. So I found mp3blaster on the net. So where's the problem? well, I had to install 'by hand' (./configure make make install) instead of using emerge and being new to Gentoo I'm curious about the issues involved.

It's true that I installed mp3blaster 3.1.3 and emerge wanted to install 3.1.1 but I don't think that accounts for all the xfree stuff it wanted to insert.

It's not as easy as I thought to find that out.

[gentoo-user] glitch in GL
I am having a problem with any GL program. About every 20 seconds the screen stutters. This happens with nVidia drivers after 2880. My assumption is that there is another process running that is causing this. I am attemping to use "top -Si" in batch mode to find out what process is causing the glitch. Is there a better way?

Re: [gentoo-user] X flicker,flicker,flicker fine...
Hello Sami, Thanks for spending some time to help me out. I've tried these settings to no avail. :( Option "UseEdidFreqs" "0" Option "IgnoreEDID""1" When the driver loads, EDID is igrored. The monitor cannot be probed because of the KVM. In the README it states that when IgnoreEDID is set, values are used from a hardcoded table. I also noticed a SoftEDID driver setting. But this appears to be for flat panels. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again, Jesse.

[gentoo-user] emerge won't update (to newest version of nvidia driver)
Whenever I try an emerge -p nvidia-kernel or emerge -p nvidia-glx it will show me a "R" (not an expected "U") for the installed 3xxx version (I dont have the exact number here on my W2K box). But there is this newer 4xxx ebuild package in the ...portage/.../media-video/... path (or tree). How can I instruct portage to update to this newer version? I also tried: emerge -up nvidia-glx..ebuild and emerge -p nvidia-glx..ebuild So portage doesnt behave like expected. Can someone help me with this? Regards, Thilo. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I don't know you, nor did I do even a cursory survey of the type of questions you ask. It was in reference to a specific (large) subgroup of users that I've observed over the last 9 or 10 years. > But I guess I have to concede that there are many newbies which just want > everything fed to them on a silver platter.

But that's also why we have easy to use distributions that don't require much thought and planning. ;-) As I mentioned elsewhere, when setting up systems where another admin might take over, I never use gentoo. I don't want to put undue burden on a company when it comes to finding a replacement. Finding someone to efficiently run a gentoo system is significantly more difficult than finding someone who can keep a redhat box running. > > > Something that seems contrary to the whole spirit of open source and GPL. > > > Namely choice. > > > > That's ridiculous. > > A bit strong here Mark :). I'll take it as an expression of your intense > feelings on the subject and not as a personal lambast of what I said. ;-) I apologize. I think it was actually just my being tired of people pulling out phrases like that all the time. Particularly since the spirit of open source/GPL really has nothing to do with choice, but rather with freedom. It might seem like semantics, but it really isn't. I swear that we need a Godwin's law equivelant for this type of argument. Also, after reading some of your other posts in this thread, I can read your arguments here in a better light. You're obviously more well reasoned than this original post would first suggest. I apologize for speaking otherwise. > Because I like Gentoo better for various reasons.

Keep in mind that there's a certain willingness of forum/list members to help out in part because they can have a reasonable expectation that you have /some/ idea what you are doing, or that if you don't that you're capable of doing some reading to get there. IOW, we don't have to have everything spelled out for us, we just need a push in the right direction from someone who has already been down the same path. > But I can see that there is also a responsibility to the Gentoo community that > I must keep in mind.

Honestly, a plethora of documentation only slightly lowers the barrier to entry.
