Re: [gentoo-user] livecd environment
You should not need to reinstall. That is for other OSs. ;-) On the USB stuff - did you compile all the usb support as modules or into the kernel? If not, you may be able to just rebuild your kernel. Try this: cat /usr/src/linux/.config | \ grep -i usb | \ grep -v # CONFIG You should see something like this: # USB support CONFIG_USB=y CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=y CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y CONFIG_USB_HID=y CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y # USB Serial Converter support If not, try running 'make menuconfig' to enable USB, rebuild the kernel (per the install instructions). Larry [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/27/03 9:11 AM I have had Gentoo up and running for a while now and am for the most part happy with it. But, I have never, no matter how many times I have followed the instructions implicitly, been able to get my USB mouse and keyboard to work properly and have never been able to get my ATI 9100 to use 3D acceleration. However, during the install process when I boot from the LiveCD, everything works perfectly...my USB devices are detected properly and work as they should.

Gwendolyn is correct -- you need to use an appropriate catalog file. Look at /etc/xml/catalog and make sure it fits what you have on your system. After that, it's up to the specific XML/XSLT processor to use that catalog -- xsltproc uses the environment variable XML_CATALOG_FILES to find its way.

Re: [gentoo-user] Using distcc for cross-compiling
That works because you have a '-march=pentium3' or whatever in your CFLAGS. Unfortunately, in my case, if I put '-mcpu=604' in my CFLAGS, it breaks things. Don't ask me why. I couldn't complete the bootstrap with that in there, and it recommends to leave it out on http://www.freehackers.org/gentoo/gccflags/flag_gcc3.html.

[gentoo-user] GCC 3.3
Hello list,
i use a pentium4 chip, and, despite a stable system, have just learned of the invalid
sse2 cruft. i am in fear for my system's health, regardless of its excellent
performance :). I have read that gcc 3.2.3 has fixed this stuff, but i was
considering rebuilding the entire system with 3.3 (as the 3.2.3 branch has
ceased/closed).
has anyone tried or used 3.3 yet? what would be implications or undesired side
effects from rebuilding my system? is there direct confliction with glibc? i doubt
it. any suggestions from anyone who has more knowledge than i do would be well
appreciated :-)
Thank you,
Brett

On rebuilding with P3 cflags using 3.2.2 mysteriously those packages which were failing previously emerged perfectly. Right after rebuilding 3.2.3 was moved to testing tree so that's what I'm using now. It works fine and is known to fix P4 bugs. Regarding 3.3, having seen bugs.gentoo.org flooded with gcc 3.3 related problems not long back I would strongly suggest that you do not go for it yet. It is hardmasked for these reasons. From what I gather work is being done to smoothen the migration and in good time 3.3 will be moved to mainstream use. The wise move may be to wait for the 3.3 release to stabilise either on testing or stable and then rebuild although if you did rebuild with 3.2.3 that should be fine too. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Application for reading/writing with a DDS drive
I have a DDS4, and just use tar. To put stuff on the tape I use: tar -cvf /dev/st0 stuff To get it back off, I use: tar -xvf /dev/st0 stuff To look what's on the tape I use: tar -tvf /dev/st0 There's a zillion other things that tar and mt can do to a tape, but I don't often have occasion to use them. Also remember that tapes are _slow_. And like somebody else mentioned they are _not_ random access. So when you're getting the list of stuff on the tape (tar -tvf /dev/st0), that can take a _long_ time. I guess that's about all the 2c stuff I got.

Hi ho, From my limited perspective, yes, it should have. Possibly you have a -gnome USE flag. or something like that? After submitting a similar bug report about xscreensaver, the developers determined that there were multiple ways xscreensaver could get built, and there was some fundamental flaw with how emerge was handling the options it had available. They told me this was sort of important. I don't understand it, other than to say that the idea that emerge will ALWAYS work its way around my USE flags wasn't true, at least in my case.

That's wrong. I didn't know the format of dhcpcd-eth0.info.
I think I understand the expansion functionality you're using
now. Does the line in dhcpcd-eth0.info look like this?

If so, do this:

[gentoo-user] Install prob - /usr/portage/distfiles//m4_1.4-15.diff.gz
Everything has gone smoothly in my install of Gentoo up to the emerge system. When I download m4_1.4-15.diff.gz the recorded md5 is different from the downloaded file's. I've used multiple mirrors and sync'd multiple times to no avail. Just out of curiosity, I verified the file's md5 by moving it to another machine and calculating the md5 manually from there. Indeed, the md5 did not match the recorded one but instead matched the one portage calculated for the file I downloaded. On a side note, I'm not sure what this has to do with the problem but I also get an error message after the normal digest mismatch message saying: !!! File does not exist: /usr/portage/distfiles//m4_1.4-15.diff.gz ( Note the double / ) To the best of my knowledge, I have not modified anything that could cause this. In make.conf I have only edited my CFLAGS, USE, and MIRROR variables and have not touched any of the other defaults. Also, the file downloads correctly to /usr/portage/distfiles/m4_1.4-15.diff.gz. Like I said though, the md5 that portage is calculating IS CORRECT for the file I downloaded so either my recorded md5 is wrong or I've actually downloaded a bad file. Any ideas?

Wouldnt it be better to just add a line into /etc/devfsd.conf that says something like: REGISTER^v4l/video0$ PERMISSIONS root.video 660 and then do # killall -HUP devfsd Dont blame me if this borks anything, its only a sudgestion.. but thats what I would do. Just make sure your user is in the video group. Its a good idea to try to use the system instead of fighting wit it. -- Deck of Cards: $1.29. Card Table: $14.99. 101 Solitaire Variations book: $6.59.

Re: [gentoo-user] /bin is gone
Sorry to hear about that. I do have one suggestion other than emerge -eu world. I don't know if you have epm installed or not, but I did an epm -ql /bin (to list all packages that had files in /bin) and here's what I got: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mike $ epm -qf /bin tar-1.13.25-r3 kbd-1.06-r1 sh-utils-2.0.15 e2fsprogs-1.27 ed-0.2-r3 grep-2.5-r1 sed-3.02.80-r3 gzip-1.3.2 sed-4.0.7 psmisc-21.2-r1 netkit-base-0.17-r6 procps-2.0.7-r6 psmisc-19-r3 setserial-2.17-r2 gawk-3.1.2-r3 util-linux-2.11y tar-1.13.25-r2 textutils-2.0.19-r1 util-linux-2.11o-r2 procps-3.1.8 pam-login-3.10 fileutils-4.1.11 net-tools-1.60-r4 sh-utils-2.0.11-r5 gawk-3.1.0-r2 bzip2-1.0.2-r2 textutils-2.1 shadow-4.0.3-r6 supersed-3.58-r2 e2fsprogs-1.32-r2 gzip-1.3.3-r1 net-tools-1.60-r6 debianutils-1.16.7-r1 baselayout-1.8.5.9 sash-3.4-r5 bash-2.05b-r3 nano-1.2.1 checkpassword-0.90 There's a good chance that yours is very much the same.
