[gentoo-user] Copying existing installation to new harddrive
I set up a GENTOO box for a friend of mine (it's his first Linux experience and he is really happy with it) recently. The box in question has a rather old, small and slow harddrive that he wants to exchange in the near future. Is it possible, and if so, how, to copy the existing GENTOO installation to the new harddrive?

[gentoo-user] Installing from stage 1: bootstrap problems
I'm trying to install Gentoo from stage1 into a laptop Compaq Presario 1200 - XL 122. About its processor, kernel says AMD K6-3d, so I've setted make.conf with 686 architecture and march as K6-2 and opt. 3 (is it correct?). After bootstrap sequence starts all seems fine, Gcc is ok, then script installs it and starts compiling GLIBC (after about 6 hours from bootstrap start). The problem is that the GLIBC compilation stops with error. I didn't write error message down, but it talks about an illegal instruction. My opinion is that the GCC version compiled for my system is unstable. Perhaps my make.conf settings are too aggressive or bad?

[gentoo-user] Recompiling for a new architecture
In about a week I will finally be upgrading my old PIII-500 to a nice new AMD Athlon 2.5 ghz. Unfortunately, my gentoo system is compiled completely with march=pentium3. Does this mean that nothing will work on my new athlon with it's different instruction set? If this is the case, I suppose I can do an 'emerge -e world' with some safe optimizations that will work on both AMD and Pentium processors, that way I can safely tranfer the system. What would be an architecture setting that is understandable by both CPU's? something like march=i686? Is this the best way of going about it?

But if you take a look at the automake package, there are different versions of automake (1.4 - 1.7) installed, and if you call automake (actually, the wrapper around the different automake versions), you get automake 1.5 by default. The am-wrapper.pl script looks (beside some other things) for a environment variable called WANT_AUTOMAKE. And if you export/whatever your shell needs for exporting variables this variable to 1.7 (e.g. bash: export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7), you get the right automake version and gift-fasttrack-cvs compiles without error :) CU all, Jens -- GPG: 1024D/CF884D50 F2E8 F7FC F823 6464 4E9D EFAB 6EE9 8B9C CF88 4D50 Jens Hoffrichter / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Fon: 0172/5376989 Wahre Liebe ist die, von der man keine Gegengabe erwartet. - Antoine de Saint-Exupèry -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Alle 12:48, lunedì 21 luglio 2003, MAL ha scritto: Faulty memory/overheating CPU You PC is, no doubt, not used to 6 hours of running at 100% CPU usage :) Mmmm...perhaps you're right. Honestly I didn't think to overheating probs. But it sounds quite strange. Fan only starts when the temperature goes too high and in all compiling process it starts very rarely. I've also used it under freebsd and debian without problems and in more onerous conditions. However I will observe the temperature of the processor in order to remove every doubt. I'd want also to investigate about architecture setting in make.conf. In AMD site it seems obvious that my processor (AMD k6 -3D @ 475 mhz) is a K6-2, but I haven't found references about architecture. I remember that when I bought it, in the reviews not all agree to classify the K6-2 like equivalent to a pentium 2, even if AMD sponsored it in this way. For someone, it was still be a 586 class processor. Therefore I'll retry to compile all stage1 changing architecture setting from 686 to 586. It would be interesting find indications on the GCC site, but I didn't find nothing. Does anyone with a presario as mine has happily installed Gentoo from stage1?

You'd only have to do a few steps yourself to install on each machine: make the partitions, unpack your custom stage tarball, chroot, edit /etc/make.conf to reflect the hardware your're installing on, run your script to automate the rest of the install.

Although, I don't understand why, I did: emerge pcmcia-cs again.
Any ideas?
What kind of network card do you have? If it based on the Realtek 8139
chip, take a look at
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=56473highlight=8139too
In that case you probably have to use the kernel pcmcia support and not
pcmcia-cs. I did this myself and it worked perfectly... until I added
support for an usb mouse. It then stopped to function again and I now
have to physically pull out the network card and put it back in again
before manually running /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start. Annoying!

I had a similar problem when installing on an IDE raid0 (pdcraid) box. I believe there are two possibilities: * Make a lilo boot floppy. Use this to boot into your real system, where you will have a real /dev . Re-emerge lilo (not sure if this is necessary), check your lilo.conf and install properly. Reboot again just to make sure it worked. I believe that this was what the Install Guide recommended (this was a while back...). * Exit your chroot. mount -obind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev .

I'm running openbox and xfce4. The two browsers I used are firebird and opera. But if your having issues with mozilla firebird would be pointless as it is a branch of mozilla.

It does render tables, images, etc in graphic mode and I think also works fine with java but more complex plugins like flash will not work with it. In text mode it doesn't render images but does do tables and other things.(links does use svgalib depending on your options on compile but I think it is the default on). With opera it tabs, it has popup blocking, it runs all the well known plugins.(anything moz or netscape varients will run), it has a search box or you can use a letter switch and comment in the url field and it will search via that.

There is a USE flag 'quicktime'. When you set it, 'emerge -u world' emerges libquicktime and quicktime4linux automatically. On the other side there must have been an update of these packages that marks the other one as exclusive alternative. I hope this helps you a bit with one your problems. Why xfree 4.3.0 is blocked by xft, I don't know. Maybe this is some kind of progress and xfree doesn't tolerate that freetype library any more. I don't have it anyway. Possibly you simply remove xft. mg -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] bootstrap bug???
I'm trying to install gentoo from stage1 but when I get to the part scripts/bootstrap.sh the following error occurs: configure: error: /bin/sh '.configure' failed for autoconf-lib-link !!! Error: sys-devel/gettext-0.12.1 !!! Function econf, Line 320, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed Could this be a bug or am I doing something wrong? I tried using the default make.conf to see if it would fix it and it did, but I think that's because it was using gettext-0.11.5 Tom -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] entranced as graphical login
Not an answer to your problem, but another bug related to entrance. I cannot type any special characters (like #|@ etc) in the user and password prompt. I think these characters are really missing (not hidden), because hitting backspace immediately deletes the last visible character. Anyone else having this?

[gentoo-user] Tiger MP S2460 and lm_sensors
Hi all, Has anyone been able to get the above to work without freezing the system, and giving some meaningful results? So far I have found that the proper modprobe sequence is: modprobe i2c-dev modprobe w83781d init=0 force_subclients=0,0x2c,0x4a,0x4b modprobe i2c-amd756 And this at least doesn't lock the system solid, but it gives many alarms in the sensors, and I am reasonly certain that they should not be alarming.

Re: [gentoo-user] decent browser?
You might also want to try out Epiphany. It's still very early in development but show a lot of potential. I believe it is being developed by the people who originally started the galeon project. It is in portage but I belive it is masked but worth a try.

I'm running fluxbox, so I don't need anything fancy. The only reason I was running Galeon was because I really, really dig the tabs and the google, freshmeat and dictionary quickstart links (whatever the heck you call those). I'm running openbox and xfce4. The two browsers I used are firebird and opera. But if your having issues with mozilla firebird would be pointless as it is a branch of mozilla. Opera 7.11 is good tho I believe it's masked. Also if you want something more simple and don't care on plugins get Links which is like lynx but can run in graphical mode. It does render tables, images, etc in graphic mode and I think also works fine with java but more complex plugins like flash will not work with it. In text mode it doesn't render images but does do tables and other things.(links does use svgalib depending on your options on compile but I think it is the default on). With opera it tabs, it has popup blocking, it runs all the well known plugins.(anything moz or netscape varients will run), it has a search box or you can use a letter switch and comment in the url field and it will search via that. If you could run a mozilla varient search wise I'd recommend mycroft addon. - -- Susie http://arienadean.tripod.com/ Digitally signed GPG Key ID: E93F0D23 Key fingerprint = 33F8 0E9D 3AD1 23E0 C70F ECC6 7871 D811 E93F 0D23 - --- Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds. - - Franklin D.

[gentoo-user] sun java-j2sdk 1.4.2 problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 yeah I know that its no ebuild of this one, and thats the problem. I need it you see, so I downloaded it from sun and unemerged blackdown since I didn't need it anymore. But sadly gentoo wont recognice the new java. (since no emerge) and I can't even force it with java-config. So therefor I get this when I take an emerge -Dup world: [ebuild N ] dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 so the question is how do I make an ebuild package of my sun java sdk, or just simply tell emerge that java is installed? - -- gnuPG key: ID 915B0745 at http://pgp.mit.edu/ http://www.fribyte.uib.no/~svein/PublicKey.asc Key fingerprint = 0123 B179 0994 F5C7 12D3 F253 E0AA 6A67 915B 0745 Registered Linux User #319622 'The maths is easy,' said Chaos.
