Re: [gentoo-user] Install DL380 Problem
did you make your kernel with 'genkernel' or did you compiled the kernel manually? i had also a kernel panic after my first boot of my new installed gentoo system because i used 'genkernel'. after i manually compiled the kernel, my system boots without problems... if you used 'genkernel', try to compile manually...

RE: [gentoo-user] kernel panic after first boot!
hi! now i compiled the kernel manually, nearly with the same kernel configs as genkernel used, and now finally my system boots without panic! what i changed in the kernel config (from the 'genkernel'-config): 1.) i changed JFS support from module to be compiled into kernel => CONFIG_JFS_FS=y 2.) i activated the 'automatically mount at boot'-feature of /dev-fs support => CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y that are the only 2 differenced between the kernel-configs (i took these changes from the installation doc, from the manual kernel configuration) but actually i don't think that was the problem, that the kernel paniced... what do you think? the other thing, what is different, is the lilo-configuration! for the 'genkernel'-kernel i used the 'genkernel'-section in the lilo.conf of the installation doc. for the manually compiled kernel i used the 'manual'-section of this lilo.conf... i dont't know what this line in the lilo.conf for the 'genkernel'-kernel really does. i wonder if it is really neccessary...? it says: append="root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc" maybe this caused the kernel-panic-problem? or is it, that the /dev-fs was not mounted during boot? -- martin Zitat von jan meier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hello, > do a manual kernel configuration with `make menuconfig´, > then you adjust the kernel configuration to your system. > This should work. > bye jan > > > > Zitat von Gwendolyn van der Linden > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > > what is the cause of this? just before the kernel panic usb > > > > was detected. > > > > but what in the process of usb detection causes the system > > > > to hang? i have > > > > nothing attached on my usb-ports, keyboard & mouse are on PS/2... > > > > > > What kernel?

[gentoo-user] What printer should I buy?
I'm in the market for a printer to replace my aging DeskJet 812C (which has been a chore getting to work under every linux distro I've tried, including Gentoo). What I would like is a decent inkjet that is capable of doing photo quality and is well supported by cups. I will be plugging this into my gentoo server, and sharing it out to a linux laptop and a Windows laptop. It will mostly be used for basic home printing needs, but we will occasionally print phots with it. Anyone have a recommendation? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I haven't read the install docs in a long time, but the partition layout described are purely a suggestion. If you only have a single partition that will do nicely. I believe there is some special code to handle the automatic mounting of /boot for special cases, but I wouldn't worry too much if you don't have a /boot (my laptop now , and when I can be arsed desktop and 2 servers, mount /boot ReadOnly). > Second question which I am sure many of you asked.

If you know the partition numbers then you can install right over the top of them. You may also blow them away and make new partitions out of the same areas.

There was just a poll on this. Most people who will answer this question said they start from Stage 1. I start from stage 3 as I'm a newbie also. One reasonable point was that if you are not absolutely sure what USE flogs you are going to set up, then you might as well start from Stage 3, later set up your USE flags, and over time most everything will get rebuilt anyway.

What kernel are you using? This looks like a SuSE-Kernel. The message says, that you compiled your kernel w/o support for devfs or you compiled it as a module. If the second is the case, the module needs to be loaded from a initrd afaik. > I hope someone can tell me how to get out of this mess, without > re-installing everything! TIA!

Hi! > At this point, I'd almost trust NPTL more. After following this thread, > it seems you have the knowhow and motivation to fix buggy LT apps for > NPTL if they break. Fixing "buggy" LT apps should be relatively easy, if they are buggy due to the current limitations of LT. If they are buggy otherwise, I guess, that's more a traditional Pthread debugging. Actually, my first motivation is to test NPTL. NPTL is certainly on its way to replace LT (not only because it's technically better- but also because the glibc maintainers decided to switch to NPTL). However (limitations asides) it remains that LT is, as of today, far more stable than NPTL. The only way we have to improve NPTL stability is: to use it!!! In all extends! So that problems show-up, and so that we can report those to the glibc maintainers (for instance, the last NPTL issue I remember is the SIGPIPE signal that is not processed correctly). That's basically why I'm eager to have NPTL. That's definitively "use at your own risk", but yes, I think I'm prepare for that... > As for NPTL+SMP, that goes double. LT is pretty much unmaintained at > this point, and that's scarier than a few hitch es along the way. Actually, NPTL makes sense on SMP machine.

Does this mean that its developers don't maintain backward compatibility? Also, just how important is it to upgrade your packages?

Basically, I use e-mail, Gnumeric, Abiword, a browser and play CDs/MP3s on it.

I am glad you have that kind of time. My wife and kid would be nagging on me like crazy if something like that happened. And it just seems right after I reinstall a linux box, it takes months for me to get all my little tweaks back. Sometimes I never do. Dunno, my one windows box is reloaded about once ever 1-3 months, and it works great for the first month, linux seems to be the opposite for me. Glad it works for you..

Actually, not really: I don't have a DVD reader. I don't actually need the entire portage tree, of course: just the bare minimum to have a working lyx would be nice already, and perhaps what's needed to get a run-of-the-mill system compiled. I'd actually be surprised of the "stable" versions of all software together would amount to 18 GB - there must be a lot of stale and experimental stuff in there, right? Anyways, what I need is a way to: * run pstools, ghost*, etc. * run TeTeX & friends * run X * run either KDE or Gnome (I prefer the latter but I think KDE is more popular This would already require quite a bit of space, but I'd be surprised if it surpasses a gigabyte (i.e. Cygwin has all the tools I want and it, including source, fits on a CD (though barely).

[gentoo-user] Intel PRO/100 VE integrated installation
I was wondering if anyone has had anyluck getting the Intel Pro 100M Integrated PCI NIC working and which driver they used? I am attemping to install Gentoo 1.4 but the ethernet card is not being detected. I have recently installed RedHat 9 on the same machine with the same problem. I was on the Intel website earlier and it said that integrated cards in the Pro/100 family where an OEM deal and to contact my computer manufacturer. Ignoring them, I downloaded the latest e100 driver and crossed my fingers. No dice. Same as Redhat, the card was auto-detected as (eepro100) EtherExpress 100. However this driver doesnt work either. Running 'modprobe e100' gives me an error message 'No such Device' and 'insmod ... failed' . If i run 'modprobe eepro100' I get no messages, then I run 'ifconfig eth0' and get: BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU 1500 Metric:1 (everything not filled in is 0) RX: 0 TX: 18 txqueuelen:100 TX bytes:4460 Interrupt:11 Base address: 0x7000 I have a Dell Dimension 4550 and of course Dell does not support anything but windows for my computer. Im connected to a ethernet broadband router that is connected to a DSL. And trying to connect via DHCP.

Re: [gentoo-user] Power off button
Now a small light starts to go up for me too. ;-) So the idea would be to capture that the user does a short push of the power button (shorter than what it takes to force the BIOS to just brutally turn it off) and when this short signal generates an event to the OS, do a graceful shutdown. Great. - Push the button for a short moment: Shutdown with power off. - Push and hold the button: Immediate power off. Nice. Really nice. Gus -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

There are two aspects to how most modern power-off buttons work: 1) They send a signal that software can detect. 2) They cause the BIOS to shut off the machine. Most systems are configured so that you need to hold down the button for several seconds for action #2. The 4-second thing people have talked about here isn't that the power-off happens 4 seconds after you press the button - it's that you have to hold the button down for 4 seconds or nothing happens. The purpose of action #2 is to shut down a machine that refuses to turn off because it's wedged or otherwise incapable of shutting itself down in response to action #1.

Re: [gentoo-user] Installing Gentoo on RAID box question
Hi Kai, I use this RAID-0 box to test dual-boot OS, Win2K and Linux. I may encounter difficulty in this test. Win2K can see the raid controller but Gentoo can't. After first installing Win2K and coming to installing Linux the latter can't see the raid controller but 2 drives. Gentoo will be installed on the 1st drive leaving the 2nd drive empty. If no solution found I have to remove the raid driver/feature only using it as ATA133 controller because the motherboard only supports ATA33.

Usually the button is configurable in BIOS so that it either powers off straight away or powers off after the button is held for 4 seconds, the latter being the default. When the button is depressed an ACPI event is generated, which the OS intercepts and reacts to accordingly. With acpid, your first two suggestions above are both possible - the third could only be the result of a buggy motherboard (or motherboard producer ;-). There are other power-related ACPI events as well, such as depressing of a sleep button and for a laptop there's also low battery, removing/inserting a battery and closing/opening the lid, attaching/detaching mains power and more.

However kde-base/kde is a little different. All it does is depend on individual parts of kde as a convenience. If you look in /usr/portage/kde-base/ you'll see many packages.Kde depends on: kde-base/kdelibs kde-base/kdebase kde-base/kdeaddons kde-base/kdeadmin kde-base/kdeartwork kde-base/kdeedu kde-base/kdegames kde-base/kdegraphics kde-base/kdemultimedia kde-base/kdenetwork kde-base/kdepim kde-base/kdetoys kde-base/kdeutils The only other package in the kde-base group is arts, which is depended on by some of the above packages. This gives a few options on how to recompile. The most basic is "emerge -e kde-base/kde". This, however, won't only recompile kde but will recompile everything in your system that kde depends on, and anything those packages depend on. Usually, with this sort of command, most of the base system will be recompiled as well. To only recompile kde, including arts, you would need to emerge each of the packages listed above. This could be done one at a time or all together; i.e. "emerge kde-base/kdelibs; emerge kde-base/kdebase; emerge kde-base/kde-addons; ..." or "emerge kde-base/kdelibs kde-base/kdebase kde-base/kdeaddons ..." The latter command can be shortened somewhat and also made to include arts with the following: cd /usr/portage; emerge `find kde-base -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1` Note that they are `` and not '', shift-~ on a US keyboard. I hope this helped you to understand a little about how portage works! Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Power off button
Interesting. I'm learning new stuff here. (I *really* should build myself a new computer soon. My newest box is about 4 years old. ;-) Does this mean that the OS can intercept you pushing the "power off" button and do something? - Like booting to another OS on the same computer? - Like doing a controlled shutdown instead of just letting the computer turn off the power? - Like even refusing to power off?

[gentoo-user] newbie question
Title: Message Hi all, I have just installed Gentoo 3 days ago and first, I would like to thank people who works on this projet .. It is a dream All my installation process was OK thanks to the very good documentation and the work made in the scripts by Gentoo team. I have installed KDE ... from GRP ... But when I try to configure KDE, I don't find the french support in available languages ? Is there any binary package that have other languages than english for KDE ? If not ? How can I compile KDE to have this support ? After a look a the docs on the web site, I have tried to make : emerge unmerge kde and then, I have just write the same command than during the installation GRP process but without the "-k" option : USE="bindist" emerge kde But nothing compile ... It uses the binary packages ... In fact, I don't think It delete my previous KDE installation ... What is wrong ? Can someone help me on this matter ???
