Is there somewhere a list of package names with a description? I know that on the website there is something like that, but it is not really usefull.

[gentoo-user] emerge troubles
Hi all, I don't have net connection at home mainly because my Motorola sm56 modem doesn't work on Linux. So I bought this 2 cd 1.4 version of Gentoo and did the installation. I was unsuccessful in the first few attempts and I gave up altogether. Next time I took a printout of the installation manual and finally got it working. First thing I wanted to do was to install Xfree and then Gnome. I tried emerge -k xfree but ended up gentoo throwing lots of error. But finally I got xfree installed by using --nodeps. But I have to admit I don't like this option cause it would make my system more unstable.

And it can't recover data once things really go down the drain. Sort of sums up my most recenta experience. I didn't even suffer a power outage. I deleted an reorganized some partitions following the resier partition (root partition for a SUSE 9.0 system), then shutdown normally. When I booted again, reiser believed that the partition origin had changed (it had not; same starting/ending cylinder as before), refused to decode the super block, marked the partition as readonly, and subsequently failed the rebuild tree, etc. Nothing would make th journal usable again. Fortunately most of the daa in my /home directory was intact, so I was able to copy off the data I needed and to reinstall using ext3 without a major loss. Needless to say, this experience (never encountered using ext3) left a sour taste in my mouth, It may well be that I don't understand reiser well enough and that I made some simple screwup that contributed to the problem, but I, too, would never again put it near data I value. -- Collins -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] unwelcome colors in fonts...
I'm using a TFT monitor with a DVI cable. Fonts look sharper than with a VGA cable. The problem is that most fonts appear multicolored when they should be plain black. This happens, in particular, with Luxi Mono, which I use a lot, in Konsole. Setting or unsetting subpixel hinting in KDE's control center has no effect. The forums show that others have more or less the same problem, but I couldn't find a solution. Has anybody come out with a solution?

[gentoo-user] Gentoo Install kinks worked out
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Well I was finally able to work out all the kinks in the installation instructions (for my install). I'm running an AMD Athlon XP Thoroughbred 2700+ on an ASUS motherboard with nForce2 chipset. My graphics card is an nVidia GeForceFX 5700. Merry Christmas to me :-) Here are a few of my notes: 1) the emerge -k nvidia-kernel is broken. do a links www.nvidia.com and download the driver straight from the website, to /mnt/gentoo/ 2) genkernel is the ONLY working option. do a genkernel --config and enable your options, then follow the installation instructions until you hit the /etc/lilo.conf -- append = root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc should look more like append = init= because if you leave the entire line in there, it panics on USB hardware detection. if you only take out the arguments for init= then in the middle of the ramdisk it drops you a busybox. 3) it's easy to forget to edit /etc/fstab if you're installing for the 5th time. 4) (in reference to #1) since genkernel is the only option, your only choice is to genkernel yourself a kernel, but not only will emerge nvidia-kernel fail, but so will nVidia's own drivers! to solve this, I simply did the following: cd /usr/src/linux make dep this way your modversions.h file gets made appropriately. 5) it's also EXTREMELY EASY to forget your rc-updates 6) most problems with networking can be fixed with the following: /etc/init.d/net.foo stop ifconfig foo down /etc/init.d/net.foo start That is, if you're using DHCP like I am. 7) Hermes drivers are bad?? They've always been rather f**ked up for me, but it seems that whenever I'm doing an ebuild on a fairly large file, the interface cuts out and locks up without letting go until I reset the computer... It did this on Mandrake, too, but not this easily. 8) setting up nvidia drivers in XFree86 is tricky. (as root) /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config (configure here, not nessecarily correctly, just well enough to get keyboard and a VGA display. Pretend the VGA display is your nVidia card. you can use the nv driver if you want, but it didn't seem to work correctly on my GeForceFX...) nano /etc/X11/XF86Config (drop down to the video card you configured. change nv or vga to nvidia. Oh yeah, you also need to add nvidia to your /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-KV) (now, if you're in the LiveCD, forget it. just reboot. Otherwise, do this: /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86cfg look! magical graphical config!

[gentoo-user] can Gentoo be installed without an internet connection?
I still get the same thing: 'Couldn't download portage-2.0.49-r4.tar.bz2. Aborting.' I assume it is possible to install Gentoo on a computer that is not on a network/internet. Can someone please explain how? Thank you. Adrian On Tue, 23 Dec 2003 09:12:31 -0600 Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote the words: On Tue December 23 2003 20:41, Linux Gentoo wrote: Greetings all.

In my experience, genkernel has been the only DECENT option for getting Gentoo to work, since Gentoo requires certain modules to be loaded (like devfsd) and genkernel takes care of those automatically.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 If you want to install without an internet connection you should use the Stage3 tarball and the GRP CD-ROM, I believe.

PS: Watch out for genkernel... it's a killer. if you have any problems I suggest consulting the email list first and then converting your append line in your lilo.conf to append = init= but this is assuming you install first, then crash, then reboot, then look on the list archives, then ask someone more experienced than me, then follow my instructions.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo Install kinks worked out
If I were you, I would suspect that the reason nvidia may not work is because you used genkernel (as has happened to me as the default config did not set up agp properly in one case). Genkernel also seems to create quite a few problems with its reliance on busybox when it hits some hardware unless you manually configure it (in fact I have had to manually configure every genkernel build). When genkernel matures, it will fill a nice niche, but its too flakey (sometimes works, sometimes doesnt ...) at the moment. Also, I have found grub much better than lilo these days. Reading your original post makes me think you may have done a few steps in a non-standard fashion or out of order, and that is the primary cause of your problems - did you slavishly follow the docs or perhaps miss something.
