Baxter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2003 00:32:04 -0400 To: gentoo-user [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the past (with Redhat systems) I have made backups of root filesystems to alternate partitions and booted them. Typically I after making the alternate FS, I mount it on /mnt/altroot and cd to / and do the following: tar -cplf - | ( cd /mnt/altroot tar -xvf - ) Then (after adding a stanza in /boot/grub/grub.conf), I boot into the alternate filesystem. This is real useful for being able to do upgrades, and quickly back it out, by just booting into the original FS. Recently I tried this with my Gentoo system and the boot into the copy crash back to the bios after printing unable to open console device. So I looked at /dev on the alternate root FS. And sure enough it is empty. My kernel is configured with /devfs support. (I think this was a gentoo default with genkernel). I understand, why it is empty, I told tar to stay on the same filesystem. But was does the kernel not populate it when I boot the alternate. Any suggestions on how I can get my alternate root filesystem bootable? ** -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list The kde build does seem a bit slow, though you are making progress. Yes, if the build is interupted, you can start from where you left off by simply issuing the command emerge kde It will start with the package it was working on when interupted. After you emerged xfree. if you had done startx you probably would have seen an ugly grey screen with an X in the middle that would move with your mouse. This is normal and indicates success. Xfree it self has no window manager and, by itself is pretty much useless. I've never used the precompiled packages so I can't help with why your machine is building everything from source. Perhaps emerge can't find the packages on your harddrive? From man emerge: --usepkg (-k) Tells emerge to use binary packages (from $PKGDIR) if they are available, thus possi- bly avoiding some time-consuming compiles. This option is useful for CD installs; you can export PKGDIR=/mnt/cdrom/packages and then use this option to have emerge pull binary packages from the CD in order to sat- isfy dependencies. --usepkgonly (-K) Behaves just as --usepkg except that this will only emerge binary packages. All the binary packages must be available at the time of dependency calculation or emerge will simply abort. If I were you, I would interupt the build at a point where it has just finished a pachage and restart it using the --usepkgonly (-K) option. If this fails, portage cannot locate the packages and you'll have to look back through the instructions to find where you should have them. At that point you have the choice to either fix the package directory or continue as you have been. The advantage in continuing as you are now is that you will have the latest packages merged and updating will be much quicker. Another glitch I just thought of is that you may not be able to merge precompiled packages at this point as they will conflict with later versions you have built from source. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Gentoo on laptops - AMD PowerNow! technology
Hi, I own an Compaq Presario 920EA laptop with an Athlon XP 2000+ mobile processor. It uses AMD's PowerNow! speedstepping technology to preserve battery power when the system load is low. This works just fine in Windows XP since there is a driver (amdk7.sys) for the CPU feature, but I don't think there is one for Linux (??). I would like to install Gentoo on my laptop (I have gentoo on all my other desktop PCs), but if that results in an ever-running (and noisy!) CPU fan and short battery life time, I need to think twice about it. What's the state of the PowerNow! technology on Linux kernels (2.4 series) ?

Your brain can't interpret images at much more than 120fps and you're monitor can only output at about the same or less. At 72fps is looks like the gears are actually turning. At 650fps or 1600fps you're only seeing every 5th or 10th or 15th frame of what the computer is actually calculating and putting into video memory. Yes, yes, yes. I understand this. But what if I'd start some complex opengl app? I'm not sure it'll provide me with 20-30 FPS while simple glxgears (not SO simple, but simple enough) provides me only with 700. I'm emerging tuxracer for test this right now (it's the best opengl testing app, I know). BTW. For ATI / NV discussion - my prefference is ATI because: - better open drivers support (and almost the same quality closed support as in NV) - __MUCH__ better 2D - if you want fast 3D - ATI is the best (I have got my radeon 9100 for about $110 about 4 months ago and it supports... hmm... pixel shaders e.g.). NV card with the same capatibilities will cost about $150. BTW, you're lucky to get 8000fps off-screen. I get ~550fps at regular size, ~75fps at full-screen (1024x768x24) and only ~1550 at regular size off-screen.

Re: [gentoo-user] Has anyone successfully built OO 1.1 (recently unmasked)
What I really despise is pdf attachments. OO will create pdf just fine, but there's no way to read and modify it on linux (that I am aware of). There are many pdf viewers for linux. I use gpdf, and have used ggv, xpdf, and a few others. They are fairly decent, but the font rendering, at least on pdf's i have viewed, is terrible. And they lack the ability to search pdfs (if the pdf itself has said ability). That said, acrobat reader is availiable for linux. True enough, but there's no way to modify a pdf. You can create pdf easily enough from other files, but you can't update a pdf. True enough - but I fail to see the problem here, as the entire purpose of the PDF format is to provide a *read-only* version of a document that anyone can read, no matter what platform or what fonts they have installed, as long as they have a reader. If you want to exchange files that are editable, then you need to do so in a common file format that both of you have. Charles -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia strikes again
Which kernel version do you use? You might get the nvidia-drivers from nvidia itself and try to compile them. Maybe that will solve the problem. (For the 2.6+ kernels you need a patch from minion.de) If the driver works under another linux-distro there is no reason why it should not work under gentoo. It would at most need some more work but it should finally work. go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html and pick the appropriate Driver for your system. Should be IA32 ... in most cases. Download it. Change to the directory where you downloaded it and do: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run # or whatever version you downloaded This assumes that you have exited X already. You cannot do this with X up and running. You also need to be root in order to do compile and install the driver. The installer will ask you wheter you want to preceed, ... asks ya whether it should try to download a driver that suits your kernel (say no because it won't find something appropriate anyway) and then it will try to compile your driver. This should work unless you have a symlink to the wrong version of your kernel. If that is the case the installation will fail. It is very important for the /usr/src/linux symlink to point to the unpacked source of your current kernel. this is VERY VERY IMPORTNAT so always symlink it to the appropriate source with: ln -sf Path_to_your_kernel_sources /usr/src/linux Then try to compile the kernel again and in most cases it should work. In the readme file there is a section: (sec-03) EDITING YOUR XF86CONFIG FILE that you really should read. It says that you should replace Driver nv with Driver nvidia (that you have already done as you described in your initial posting), make sure that Load glx is uncommented and that the Load dri and Load GLcore are removed or commented. After these steps and provided that it succeeded remove the old nv drivers from your kernel with: rmmod nv and load the new nvidia kernel modules with: modprobe nvidia check wheter it is loaded with lsmod | grep nvidia on my box this outputs: nvidia 1701612 10 After that you may check wheter the /dev/nvidia* devices have been created by devfs as you loaded the module with: ls -l /dev/nvidia* on my box this outputs: root[www]$ls -l /dev/nvidia* crw---1 momesana root 195, 0 Jan 1 1970 /dev/nvidia0 crw---1 momesana root 195, 255 Jan 1 1970 /dev/nvidiactl Then try to load X with startx or kdm or whatever you are using. If this fails try to see wheter the configuration is allright. XF86Config files may cause the whole Xserver to act crazy if they are not setup properly. I remember that I couldn't get X running for weeks under Debian potato (I was an extreme newbie then) and this was all due to the fact that the XF86Config contained some configuration-option that needed to be uncommented. The outpout may in some cases be deceiving and confusing. Just try the differnt methods to create a new XF86Config file for example: XFree86 -configure # probes as much information as possible about your hardware and writes a small XF86Config file to /root/XF86Config.new. Run the X server with following command to test the new config file: Xfree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new You also could try out xf86cfg. If they work somehow then you know that there was something wrong with the config file rather than with the drivers. Just try out all possible sollutions.

[gentoo-user] openoffice aborting
Hello. I am new to Gentoo and am having difficulty running OpenOffice. Whenever I try to run any binary related to OpenOffice the program returns Aborted and exits. Is there a way to get a more detailed output with OpenOffice? Is this problem known (and hopefully fixed)? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Sky. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Resizing Ext2 Partition
Partition Magic doesn't want to allow resizes on this partition What version of Partition Magic and is it actually ext3? Partition Magic 7 and no it's really ext2... partition magic can do it, BUT, it needs to be ext2 partitions made with partition magic, else it doesn't work I guess this may be a really stupid question... but... Why does it matter? Isn't a partition a partition? And does that imply that I have to somehow find the tool I used to create the partition and use that? (I'm 99% certain it was the cfdisk on the Gentoo LiveCD) Or is there a tool I can use to bless the partition or partition table so I can use other tools. Thanks Matt -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Yes, and we are trying to deprecate the rsync action (as well as all actions not starting with -), so the correct command to sync the tree is `emerge --sync`.

Re: [gentoo-user] Placement of /swap
Hey BillK all, Thanks for your responses. Only logical thing I have seen is that its recommended to be in the (physical) middle of the disk to hopefully minimise seek times. It appears that gentoo's kernel is set this way, so I'll go with it. Order in the /dev hierarchy is irrelevant, its a physical thing. Sure, I can see that. I'm fairly familiar with Linux fdisk; it ~does~ place partitions, named appropriately (hda1 at the beginning, hda2 in the middle, hda3 at the end -- if one does it in order), where one wants them, though. You will gain more by using a separate swap disk, striped multiple swap or extra ram Oh, I'm sure, but I've been very pleased with my old Dell P-III since I'd upped the ram to 512 added hard disks. I've had faster pentiums I have an Athalon 1.1GHz under my desk for my occasional Windows need, but I've preferred my P-III over the others since the beginning. Anyway, before I start this process, anyone have any comments on the other question in that post: Any hassles involved in moving var from hda to hdd ~after~ installing gentoo? After all, I could set a link on hda, right? Meph -- Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last. -Marcus Aurelius -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

i'm having some terrible trouble with k3b lately in the area of dvd ripping/ encoding. following the howto, all you have to do is: - put the dvd in - open k3b - click on the drive - right click on the already selected track - select copy problem is, i can't get past right click on the already selected track because no tracks appear in the right hand window. instead, it just says video dvd at the top and if i right-click on the empty space and select copy the thing crashes. i *can* however right-click on the dvd drive and select disk info and that brings up all the valid data for the dvd. so what's going on here? here's my relevent fstab stuff: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrw auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 and here's the output from running k3b from the console (compiled with USE=+debug (appologies for the blob of text, but i don't know what's relevent: $ k3b kdecore (KLibLoader): library libk3bexternalencoder.la not found under 'module' but under 'lib' k3b: (K3bPluginFactory) creating K3bPluginFactory. kdecore (KLibLoader): library libk3bmaddecoder.la not found under 'module' but under 'lib' k3b: (K3bPluginFactory) creating K3bPluginFactory. kdecore (KLibLoader): library libk3boggvorbisdecoder.la not found under 'module' but under 'lib' k3b: (K3bPluginFactory) creating K3bPluginFactory. kdecore (KLibLoader): library libk3boggvorbisencoder.la not found under 'module' but under 'lib' k3b: (K3bPluginFactory) creating K3bPluginFactory. kdecore (KLibLoader): library libk3bsoxencoder.la not found under 'module' but under 'lib' k3b: (K3bPluginFactory) creating K3bPluginFactory. kdecore (KLibLoader): library libk3bwavedecoder.la not found under 'module' but under 'lib' k3b: (K3bPluginFactory) creating K3bPluginFactory. k3b: (K3bExternalBinManager) Cdrecord 2.1a18 features: gracetime, overburn, cdtext, clone, cuefile, plain-atapi, hacked-atapi k3b: (K3bExternalBinManager) 2 1 -1 a18 seems to be cdrecord version = 1.11a02, using burnfree instead of burnproof k3b: (K3bExternalBinManager) seems to be cdrecord version = 1.11a31, support for Just Link via burnfree driveroption k3b: (K3bExternalBinManager) Cdrecord 2.1a18 features: gracetime, overburn, cdtext, clone, cuefile, plain-atapi, hacked-atapi k3b: (K3bExternalBinManager) 2 1 -1 a18 seems to be cdrecord version = 1.11a02, using burnfree instead of burnproof k3b: (K3bExternalBinManager) seems to be cdrecord version = 1.11a31, support for Just Link via burnfree driveroption k3b: /dev/sr1 resolved to /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd k3b: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd is block device (1) k3b: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd seems to be cdrom k3b: bus: 0, id: 1, lun: 0 k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd: init() k3b: (K3bCdDevice::ScsiCommand) failed: fd: 11 errorcode: p k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd: GET_CONFIGURATION failed. k3b: (K3bCdDevice::CdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd: dataLen: 60 k3b: (K3bCdDevice::CdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd: modesense data: k3b: (K3bCdDevice::CdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd: modeselect TAO data: k3b: (K3bCdDevice::ScsiCommand) failed: fd: 11 errorcode: p k3b: (K3bCdDevice::ScsiCommand) failed: fd: 11 errorcode: p k3b: (K3bDeviceManager) probing capabilities for device /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/ target1/lun0/cd k3b: (K3bDeviceManager) setting current write speed of device /dev/scsi/host0/ bus0/target1/lun0/cd to 10 k3b: Could not resolve /dev/scd1 k3b: /dev/scd1 resolved to /dev/scd1 k3b: could not open device /dev/scd1 (No such file or directory) k3b: /dev/sr0 resolved to /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd k3b: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd is block device (0) k3b: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd seems to be cdrom k3b: bus: 0, id: 0, lun: 0 k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd: init() k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd unknown profile: 16 k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd unknown profile: 8 k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd feature: Core k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd feature: Morphing k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd feature: Removable Medium k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd feature: Random Readable k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd feature: Multi-Read k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd feature: CD Read k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd feature: DVD Read k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd feature: Power Management k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd feature: CD Audio analog play k3b: (K3bCdDevice) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd feature: Timeout

[gentoo-user] fluxbox doesn't see artwiz fonts

[gentoo-user] Where in boot process does frame buffer init
In mt previous experience with frame buffer (2.4 kernel and not Gentoo), I was able to load the frame buffer modules (matrox) after boot and could do frame buffer things (enable the tvout on my Mystique). I am now using 2.6 (test8) and Gentoo. If I don't enable G100/G200/G400/G450/G550 support, then it is not enough for me to load the usual modules (i2c_matroxfb and matroxfb_*). By not enough I mean that I do not get get the /proc/fb or /dev/fb/0 entries). If I enable the above option, then the devices get created, but at some point in the boot process my screen gets all garbled. I can remotely log in and run startx fine (except for a warning (WW) MGA(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xe300,0x100)). I tried to pass different arguments to lilo at boot time to set the video (video=blah:blah:etc to no avail). Where in the boot process does this frame buffer initialization occur?

should have said: `emerge -Ufp worldsomefile.txt`...will give you a

See the attachment for an example. Note that I have many mirrors in my

Hmmm. 48 places to get the same file (in the example)! I hope there is
a way to figger out where the 'one' best place is for NW Washington.
Is there a handy boot floppy that I can use for my laptop? It doesn't
have an onboard CD, but it does have an enet card in the PCMCIA slot
(a Xircom 10/100/56K) that I could use to access files on my local
network, and the CD in one of the desktop systems.
Laptops like this are a teensy bit of a chore with Gentoo, because
there's no official floppy. Heck, I hate floppies, too. Basically, you
need to find a bootable Linux floppy which will enable you to partition
the drive, get networking up, download the stage file, unpack it,
chroot in and finally compile the kernel bootloader.
OK. I think I can figger that process out.
This is a fairly standard procedure for CD-less laptops, unless (like
mine) the floppy drive is a USB one, in which case it's simply quicker
to cheat by removing the hard-drive get it booting on a desktop
first. Unfortunately, there isn't a standard bootdisk; I believe Tom's
boot disk is now incompatible with Gentoo, but again search the gmane
archives of this list. Use something like boot floppy laptop as
search terms; ISTR that someone recommended a Slackware boot floppy
recently.
I did that with my first RedHat install; fortunately there was someone
at the bootfest that had a compatible laptop to swap with. It was alot
of work. The next install I did via the RedHat ethernet FTP from a
local desktop system with a CD. Took two tries; after discovering that
the FTP solution expects that ALL the potentially necessary files will
be in one directory. I'll fix one of those disks up for this project.
