[gentoo-user] devfsd question
Well, I think I have narrowed down my problem here, but not sure. When I boot into gentoo during startup, I get you have not installed devfs into the system, it is required. Well, I have recompiled, many times trying to find the proble. I can not find where in the start scripts that the following is useddevfsd /dev.

[gentoo-user] Strange lockup on HP laptop
Hello, I've noticed an odd keyboard/mouse lockup on my HP Pavilion N5430 laptop since moving to Gentoo. The keyboard and mouse sometime go non-responsive... but a quick flick of the momentary-contact power switch unlocks it. (It's a soft switch, of course - just generating an interrupt, not yanking the current.) I've seen it both in X and on the console, and I do not run gpm - so the kernel seems to be implicated. I'm running the current 2.4.20-r5 gentoo-sources kernel. I haven't ruled out the possibility that the entire system is locked up - I'll try a remote connection to it the next time it happens. Whatever... it appears to recover cleanly with the hit on the power switch. Does this behavior ring a bell with anyone? Nathan Meyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge gcc-3.2.3 broke everything !
You said you tried bootstrap, but does that mean boot from your CD and do what /install.txt says? If so, and if that fails, you need to emerge unmerge glibc. If not, I suggest you save off your package mask file, your world file and make.conf, and any other config file you need, and re-do everything from the CD with the 3.2.3 compiler.

[gentoo-user] Generating international characters from us_intl keymap

Re: [gentoo-user] kernel panic
lsmod will list modules installed. The one for your network card should be there if you selected module in menuconfig. Go to /usr/src/linux and do make menuconfig - then check under network for the card that matches yours. Make sure it's either a module or built in. If it's a module you need to add the module name (without the .o) to /etc/modules.autoload so it will be loaded at boot. You can do this from the commmand line with modprobe modulename and it will install the module. On Sunday 01 June 2003 12:30, Brett I. Holcomb wrote: What do you mean can't find?

[gentoo-user] kde font issue: small fonts
Honey, I shrunk the fonts! Under gentoo my kde fonts seem to be at least half the size of my fonts when running debian. I'm using the same set of truetype fonts for both, located in usr/local. My home directory (and .kde/.kde3.1 directories) also remains the same for both OS'es. I've checked the various gentoo X11 config files, and made sure that 100dpi references occur before 75dpi, and that they point to my usr/local Truetype storage. Any tips appreciated, TIA.

Re: [gentoo-user] glibc fails to compile and xterms don't work FIxed
Thanks, I looked in /etc/make.conf and the default setting was incorrect for my system. Once gave it the correct value for an AMD k6-3, it compiled without a problem.

[gentoo-user] Changing exchange
Hi, I'm looking for a way to replace m$ exchange. I did find http://www.samsungcontact.com, but I was hoping to find a GPL way of doing it. On Fosdem I was told by a KDE dev that they are working on a replacement, but I was wondering if any of you had a different kind of way.

The best one that im aware of is SCO's Volution, or should I say 'closest'. The company I work for were looking to do the very same thing, move away from M$ entirely, but as exchange breaks almost every rfc it impliments, there will never be a GNU equivalent.

Your system is fundamentally toasted when this happens as a Gentoo newbie I am now now cleaning up my mess a second time with this problem. Firstly I screwed up trying SE Linux patches, this time trying to eliminate a download problem I had been having by downgrading the system to stable. Most of the hacks I have found in the forums are real ugly involving downloading binary gcc and recompiling. I am backing up anything valuable including my disfiles to /data umounting it, and then boot strapping again since for me 50-75% of my build time is downloading and I am looking to change various USE flags in make.conf it seems to make sense to me. Once I have the initial layout done again I intend to rebuild the system again. copy back the relevant files and remount non system partitions. I feel however that this is something that should go into the FAQ when the cleanest solution to this problem is found. Finally although this is a user error thing it is a very easy error to make do people out there believe that this should be raised as a bug at least so future gentoo development can take the muppetry of people such as myself into consideration.

[gentoo-user] Configuration options
I've searched an been unable to come up with an answer - can anyone help? How can you set configure options on a per package basis ie. in the xsane package, I want to run: configure --disable-gimp --enable-gtk2 I can alter the ebuild file but I would really like to be able to put these configuration options somewhere like make.conf etc.. so that they are always set when updating the xsane package. Anyone know if this is possible? Regards, Yusuf - From Yusuf Nagree [EMAIL PROTECTED]
