[gentoo-user] Daily job running
I want to have job that runs once a day when I power on my machine. With cron I have the problem that this has to be at a fixed time, yes? Since I switch my machine off when I don' t use it it can often happen that this will not run because the launchtime has been missed. I know that in Suse they had some mechanism for users like me, who don't let their machine run all the time. So is there something like that I can use in gentoo?

[gentoo-user] Gentoo installation: compile fails
Hi,
I tried to install Gentoo from stage 1 2 and 3 foolowing the very good
installation docs but in all cases different programs refuse to compile
with more or less the same error message:
{Standard Input} Assembler messages
{Standard Input} Error: Suffix or operands invalid for `movd'
When starting with stage1 it was gettext that did not compile and IIRC
after stage 3 was ppp that refused to compile with the same error
message.
I downloaded and tried the new gentoo 2004 stages as well but the
problem persists.
Any ideas what goes wrong?

[gentoo-user] no logout
I can't logout nor shutdown from a KDE session. When I try, the screen goes blank and that's it. I can't go to a virtual console with ctrl-alt-F? and I can't kill the X server with ctrl-alt-del. Only thing to do is a hard shutdown. This happens since I upgraded the kernel from 2.4.22 vanilla to 2.4.23. I used the former config file. The only difference is that I added hotplug support. I'm using kdm. The kernel has APM support.I also upgraded kde to 3.1.4, after the kernel upgrading. Any idea? TIA. Jorge Almeida -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] floppy access

I tried to create a floppyfw and coyote floppy and it could not access /dev/fd0. Looking in at /dev I see fd/ but not fd0. I added /dev/fd0 to my etc/fstab but no change. I cant not mount my floppy either. I had to boot into SuSE to create the floppyfw and edit it but rather stay in Gentoo. Any ideas? Did you compile floppy support in your kernel configuration as module? If so, you probably forgot to load the floppy-module... So: 1) Check if your kernel has floppy support at all, either modular or directly built in. 2) Make sure the kernel finds the floppy. When including floppy support directly (i.e. not as module), you should look at the boot messages if it finds the floppy. If compiled as module, there should come some message when inserting the floppy-module. See the kernel boot messages with dmesg. 3) Make sure your /etc/modules.devfs contains the lines # Floppies alias /dev/floppy floppy alias /dev/fd* floppy If you never changed this file, its probably ok.

Roger wrote: hi,all: I want to setup a server, which hosts small business on Internet. Which is the best one? Redhat 9? debian 3? gentoo? PLS advice. I have run a server with Slackware 8.1, RH 8, and now Gentoo. Each of them have their own strengths and weaknesses. Like someone else posted, it depends on what your sysadmin is familiar with. If you are the sysadmin, which distro are you more familiar/comfortable with? Unless you're experienced with getting down and dirty with configuration files, you may want to stick with something like RH which does a lot of stuff for you. Although, there is a configuration tool that is available for every distro (either packaged or source), Webmin. Webmin is a web-based configure-everything tool written in Perl. It is modular and easily expandable. Another factor is performance. One of the reasons that I've settled on Gentoo is because it lets me take full advantage of my dual Athlon MP 2200+ processors. It only took 50 minutes to bootstrap from stage 1 when I originally installed ;) Any other distro will be compiled to run on a 386 (or possibly 568). Unless you are running this server on a POS machine anyway, there will be a noticable performance difference compared to Gentoo. -- Andrew Gaffney -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I suggest to switch back to pentium3 for the package that fails; I think you

in base system, I suggest to compile the whole base system with pentium3.
IMHO P4 optimization makes only sense for applications that really _need_

Vincent Fantastic ;) Just test if you're able to install a new Gentoo-System. There is no specific plan since we want people to respond to all bugs/obscurities they find/experience. If there would be a plan, then people mostly tend to only test the points mentioned in the plan. We just want you to behave as if you just want to install Gentoo (and do it with your eyes a bit more open ;) ) A hint for all potential testers: Testing has to be done within the next three weeks, so if you test it's important that you report the bugs _as_soon_as_you_experience_them_ Thanks in advance Benjamin beejay Judas -- GPG-Public-Key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0xC31DEDD8 Key-Fingerprint: 4E65 AAFE 785B 61D8 E4D9 1671 E017 87B7 C31D EDD8 ICQ: 239829549 Jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil

The subjectline says it. I'm using gentoo now for about three weeks and I really like it. :) Previously I was using Suse and of course the ease of installation and system administration is quite nice, but gentoo beats it easily. It is a little bit harder to administrate because there are many things you have to do yourself which YAST did for me, but the additional control with emerge is well worth the effort.

Re: [gentoo-user] Wine StarCraft
Hi, I just installed StarCraft and have it working. I'm getting sound. Graphics appear to be 640x480 only, but maybe I'm missing something. I don't play this game. My son does. 1) I'm using a custom ebuild for WineX supplied by another member here. It supports Alsa-1.0.0rc2. I'm using OSS emulation for sound under WineX 2) I'm using a CD labeled 1.05b. I haven't looked for any updates 3) The process I used to build it was: a) mount cd b) cd /mnt/cdrom c) winex -- setup.exe - I get some complaints about my WineX config file, and I get a message about DirectX not being found, and I get some error messages about not being able to install some links. I just ignored it all. d) cd ~/.winex-cvs/fake_windows/StarCraft e) winex -- StarCraft.exe The game runs. I get the opening video and sound. The game seems to work fine as far as I can tell. No error messages that I see when playing or quiting. If you want to try this WineX ebuild send me a note.

Re: [gentoo-user] RPM and gentoo
nice thing about using rpm is that you can uninstall it with rpm -e so why not use rpm? for those tar files that are not in portage i use checkinstall: just to ./configure then make and then run checkinstall instead of make install. checkinstall will make an rpm and install it, so that you can use rpm -e to uninstall and use rpm -qa to see what is installed.

There are several options here. 1) Get the rpm and do `rpm -i --nodeps rpm` and `rpm -e rpm` when you want to uninstall 2) This is better: Get the src rpm if it exists and do `rpm2targz src.rpm. Then you can either build from source (./configure, make and (make install as root)) or make an ebuild from it. Peter

Vincent Fantastic ;) Just test if you're able to install a new Gentoo-System. There is no specific plan since we want people to respond to all bugs/obscurities they find/experience. If there would be a plan, then people mostly tend to only test the points mentioned in the plan. We just want you to behave as if you just want to install Gentoo (and do it with your eyes a bit more open ;) ) A hint for all potential testers: Testing has to be done within the next three weeks, so if you test it's important that you report the bugs _as_soon_as_you_experience_them_ I'm confused looking at the download sites.

[gentoo-user] using mondo-rescue to perform full backup

The first time it bombed out saying something about /etc/lilo.conf not existing. I use grub, so I just did 'touch /etc/lilo.conf'. It allowed it to get past that part, but then it died while running mindi saying that it Failed to generate boot+data disks.
