Re: [gentoo-user] First time installing Gentoo 1.4
Yes, it appears to: its in the raid configure section of the kernel alongside the promise and hpt raid devices. The (u)dma setting is in the normal ide device settings. I am using it in ide mode (jumper out). Note that this is gs-sources, not kernel-sources.

When I list the packages of the 2nd Gentoo CD I don't really see one that is PPPD specific so I'm assuming that this is already installed and just needs to be turned on or pppd is bundled inside of another package.

Harlan, alsamixer only works on sound cards that have mixers. Not all sound cards have mixers, and even if they they do the mixer might not be enabled in the Alsa driver. For instance, my $500 RME HDSP 9652 has a mixer, but alsamixer doesn't control it. There's another app that does that for me. How's that for confusing! ;-) Take a look at the amixer command for setting your output levels manually. Specifically the 'amixer cset numid=5' portion of amixer. You can also script them later when you figure out what you want for levels. Ses man amixer for some examples. Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

To find a package, you can use "emerge -s" but I'll give it to you in this case ;-) pppd is in net-dialup/ppp. I believe that there are packages on the 1st Gentoo CD as well but am not certain.

Judging by your /dev files it should work with no problems. However, the error is saying (cryptically) that it can't find the default device.

The source or a package should be on one of the CDs. Check both your CDs for ppp-.tbz or .tgz.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to install pppd on new Gentoo Install?
Well I'm out right now syncing up portage. Ok so I specified "emerge -k ppp" and this grabbed the local package that I copied off the cd. But when I did a "emerge -k mozilla" it tried to go out to the internet?? How do you tell emerge to grab a package locally? I did man emerge and the -k option looked to be about the only thing that I could of done...I think maybe I need to read the Portage Manual. Hopefully this will explain Portage in depth. Right now I'm out on the net with PPP dialup.. Whoo-h :D Following the "Portage Users Guide" I did a "emerge sync". Is there anything else that I should do after that? I don't understand what "emerge -u world" is suppose to do for me. Right after the "emerge sync" finished this is what it said at the very end: ** Skipping packages. Run 'fixpackages' or set it in FEATURES to fix the tbz2's in the packages directory. Note: This can take a very long time. * An update to portage is available. It is _highly_ recommended * that you update portage now, before any other packages are updated. * Please do so and then update ALL of your configuration files. OK...So what exactly do I need to do here? emerge -up system and emerge -u system ? Then how do I go about updating my config files???

Re: [gentoo-user] First time installing Gentoo 1.4
USE is just one of many variables in make.conf. The one I was referring to is CFLAGS. Also check the CHOST flag is correct. Is there a reason why you are trying to use the raid function on this card - my understanding its purely a remapping under the control of a driver in windows and in linux, software raid is more efficient and flexible? I am using raid0 on the motherboard ports, and when I set this up (~ two years ago under mandrake on another MB and still going under gentoo) and it was reccomended then to run (it was a hpt controller) any winraid card in ide mode and use softraid. Use the silraid, and you lose that option, and as far as I can see, gain nothing unless the disks are required to be readable under a dual boot win/lin system.

The compatibility problems with both Open Office or Star Office and M$ Word go far deeper than that. Nearly all of the VBS stuff failed for us one way or another. I do understand that the more politically correct portion of Linux world finds this stuff distasteful, and I don't agree, but when a customer sends you a document full of it, it's not a money making proposition to tell them 'Fix your document so I can do business with you'. That leads them to another vendor and you're at a disadvantage. As for 'riding the developers' what purpose does that serve the business user? Answer - none. In business, we just look for a solution that works, pay for it as part of the expense of running the business, and move forward trying to do business. If one of my requirements is 100% seamless integration with other businesses, or even other portions of my larger business, then my earlier point was, and remains, that I HAVE to choose M$ until someone else PROVES that there is a 100% Seamless Linux solution. Nothing else matters or the business suffers. In this case we often say 'I want to be the second person trying this.' Many casual Linux users don't often seem to consider the business issues as much as they like to consider the political or technical issue. What's the hidden cost of having my employees on the net riding the developers to get this done? What's the chance that it will get done immediately? What's the chance that the 'fix' will create other bugs in the Open Source solution? And, as a business person, why do I even care if I'm using M$ vs. Linux? Again, I write this from home, using Gentoo for email, some browsing, and a lot of Alsa audio apps, I am a Linux user. It works pretty well for me in these certain areas. It works badly in others. Many or even most of those bad areas are probably caused by my lack of intellect and experience in configuring Linux. I'm sure they are. However, it's not worth it to me to get beyond them. Life is too short. (This will be my last response on this thread. Thanks.) Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] continued depmod problems
Hi, I've not had this sort of problems in the 2-3 years of using Linux, all of it before this being Redhat. Don't get me wrong, I'm sticking with Gentoo, but I don't understand what went wrong. At this point all the drivers that I seem to need are running without errors. However, depmod is not happy about other things installed on my system: Wizard root # depmod -a depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/atm/atmtcp.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/net/sched/sch_teql.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/net/sunrpc/sunrpc.o Wizard root # There are about 50 failures like this. Here's the basic series of events as best I remember them them: 0) I tried running genkernel, but it started compiling without giving me a chance to configure, so I Ctrl-C'ed out of it. 1) I needed USB support which was not built into my kernel. 2) I ran make xconfig to get USB turned on, but there were a lot of things I wasn't sure about, and I had a working Redhat machine running a 2.4.21 kernel, so I copied over that .config file into /usr/src/linux. (Could this cause this sort of problem?) 3) I built the kernel using make dep clean bzImage install modules modules_install After editing grub.conf and rebooting the machine now has USB support. reemerging Alsa and xfree-dri got back the rest of what I needed, however depmod -a fails as above. This morning I tried moving the existing lib/modules/gentoo* directory out of the way and ran make modules_install again, and still get the same depmod -a failures after a reboot. I notice that I have other gentoo-sources installed, but /usr/src/linux is still pointing at 2.4.20-r2. Does this matter? Should I repoint to 2.4.20-r6 and build from there? Why would this matter? gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r2 gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5 gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6 Can anyone venture a guess as to what I did wrong here? Thanks much!

I very disappointed that all the focus was about what was/not incorporated into the OS when the fact of the matter is that the real problem is M$ has a monopoly on business document formats. A real remedy would be to force M$ to use the OO format as its native document format for the next, say, 10 years. Then wed really be competing on the merits of functionality. Not only that, but Office 11 will use a bran new file format, perhaps part of this is truly innovation, but Im sure they are not too upset about throwing OO compatibility off-balance for a year or two. All I wanted was something like Word 4 that didnt crash when I opened a document larger than 20 pages. OO is great on that point, but I too have to work in the real world where all the lemmings choose Office. Cheers, Jason. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The only directory in /lib/modules was the one for 2.4.20-r2. Even though portage has downloaded the r5 and r6 sources, I've never built them and I've never used them. I _could_ build r6 if there is a reason to do so, or I _could_ emerge -C r5 and r6. Either would presumably suit me needs.

As an example I have a friend who uses some MS office tools to keep his invoices etc in electronic form, but newer versions of MS own tools can't handle them correctly so he has to use the older software. He also needs the newer software so that he can read the newer documents etc, but he can't completely use that one tool set, because he couldn't use the older stuff with it. So what hapens when that product doesn't work in the 'current' windows OS? He will need two windows machines to do the busines efectively. But because big companies go on and because they are his most important clients he have to cope with it. And sadly small businesses doesn't have a choice before big companies really can't take no more MS shit and picks an alternative. The current MS strategy will eventually lead to situations where the big clients simply doesn't cope with the shit but want something more and then MS either changes it's tactic or dies (sadly I think that there is too much brains in there to them die, but maybe I get lucky ;). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Re: [gentoo-dev] Some suggestions
This has come up a few times including splitting make.conf up into subfiles. However, this sort of approach becomes hazadous to both new users to linux, and experianced users from other distros. Keep it all together and avoid the fragmentation of related information, and leave the very useful verbose comments in place: this works for the majority of users. As far as annoying updates: make.conf is very central to the system, so it requires special care in updating Perhaps a better etc-update is needed: I have had a few disasters with that one and the crappy default diff, and vimdiff. I do like the idea that if a file is unchanged, it gets updated automaticly (not silently though!) as etc-update doesnt appear to do this well at the moment.

Hi Bill, This PC, a RAID-0 box for test use, has a motherboard which only supports ATA-33 hard drive. I have no ATA-33 hard drive and only have ATA-133 hard drive available for test. The problem is with the ATA-133 RAID controller installed on booting the PC the BIOS detects it. I have searched around on the BIOS pages to disable it without result. ATA-133 hard drive does not work on the old motherboard. I have tested it. I have no ATA-133 controller available therefore I got a ATA-66 controller from stock instead and continued testing installation of Gentoo 1.4.
