THE BIG DISCLAIMER: Backup your data (and if you're too lazy, backup the data you can't reproduce.) There are tools to resize the filesystem that comes with the distribution - for reiserfs there's resize_reiserfs and for ext3 there's resize2fs (unmount ext3 cleanly so it will contain no journal and therefore be just like ext2) First umount the filesystem, then expand the partition with parted/fdisk, and afterwards use these tools.

[gentoo-user] Problem with custom ebuild
I asked on how to emerge the older kernels and got as answer that I can do emerge ./xxx.ebuild. This worked, but then somebody said that this is no good way to do and I should use emerge =sys-kernel/... instead. Ok. I did that and it worked fine. In the sys-kernel/vanilla-sources directory I only had ebuilds up to 2.4.20 so I created my own one for 2.4.18. When I did the first style emerge it worked fine but when I tried the second version (the proper one) it only works for the available 2.4.22 ebuild and not for my created one. In this case I get an errror telling me that there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds for that so I guess there is somewhere something like a configfile that tells emerge where to look for the ebuilds and what is available. btw: When I next time do a rsync will my ebuild be deleted then? -- Gerhard Gruber Maintainer of SoftICE for Linux - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pice Fast application launcher - http://sourceforge.net/projects/launchmenu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] DMA while booting
Hi, Sounds like you haven't correctly compiled in support for your IDE controller into the kernel. You can use lspci (from the pciutils package) to find out which IDE controller you have, and then you should compile support for that into the kernel (in 2.6 menuconfig: Device Drivers --- ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support --- ...). Also check that Use PCI DMA by default when available is selected. Once you have the right support compiled in, the kernel should automatically set DMA during bootup. Daniel.

Would emerge be confused in that case because then I have two ebuilds with the same files. Or is it ok to delete them, but I guess with the next rsync they would be recreated there anyway. As the next rsync will undo any changes you make to the official tree everything should be affected in the overlay directory. This will do just that, overlay any files of the same names from the official tree.

[gentoo-user] KDE doesn' t restore window state
When I was running Suse my KDE always remebered the state of the shellwindows. This was quite convinient because I usually had them minimized and only restored them when I needed them. Now KDE remembers the shell windows I had open, but it always displays them. Is there an additional option to do this?

Subject: [gentoo-user] Wine CVS ebuild problem
Since there is no wine-cvs ebuild I tried to create my own, but I'm rather
newbie to this so, naturally, it failed. :)
The best choice would have been to take a look at winex-cvs but this has been
removed so the ebuild is only an empty shell. Now I took the ebuild from
crystalspace-cvs as a template and changed servername and all the stuff to
match wine. When I run ebuild to create the digest I always get the error
message PF is null.
What does that mean?
I also copied the digest file from crystalspace but that is empty anyway.
Does emerge have to have a version number in the ebuildname or is the choice
of the name totally free? Since I wanted to run it against the wine cvs tree I
didn't specify a version. Could this be the problem?
The ebuild looks like this:
-

[gentoo-user] out of disk space, now kde broken
Hi All, Whilst re-emerging gcc, I ran out of disk space which caused future emerge's to fail. I fixed this my moving to portage directories to a different disk partition and running emerge sync. But, kdm seems to have changed behaviour. First I didn't get the choice of kde. I fixed this in the Login Manager. Then, when I select kde I just get one xterm with no window manager running (although I can manually run startkde to get going). How can I diagnose further so that startkde is run automatically ?

There are a lot of more choices how you want to destruct your system than in MandrakeSuSE together. If you want to realy learn about linux, have a look at slackware. If you can master a slackware, adjusted to your needs and wishes, gentoo is laughable simple. But if you are a fresh Mandrake-Linux-user gentoo has so much hidden traps, that you should definetly stay a little longer at your 'home distribution'. Here are enough newbies on this list, people that have started with mandrake/lycoris/lindows shortly before and think that gentoo would be a great next step. No, it is not. For lycoris/lindowsco users, it would be a logical step to switch to a 'real' distribution first, before they waste a lot of time with gentoo. People that started with MandrakeSuSEco some weeks/month ago should stay there for some more time and test a distribution which does not hold their hands after that first, like debian or slackware. This distris are cool to really learn about linux. After that, gentoo with its special cases is not a problem anymore. In fact, for a trained slackware or debian user, gentoo is almost braindead simple. assholemodeoff If you still want to install gentoo, try to understand, where and why you get lost.

All my ranting above could be destilled to this: gentoo is a nice distrie, but not for newbies, because of some nasty traps and a lot of options-think about it, before you waste your time. But if you still want to install gentoo, welcome. Nobody will harm you for any reasonable questions (and even the stupid ones are almost everytime excused).

Today the manufactures are spending a lot of money to add some more or less useless OC-ing features, because OC-ing is totally IN (and nobody tells the OCers, that OCing is the best way to corrupt data on the unnoticable way) and saving the money by buying crap for the sound interface. This reminds me of the motherboard market, circa 1999-2001. Several motherboard manufacturers managed to give VIA chipsets a bit of a bad name. Rather than using the entire chipset as intended or known-compatible combinations, it became de rigeur to use bits and pieces of different chipsets to achieve an overclocking advantage. Unfortunately, the focus was on performance and tweakability, rather than stability and functionality. In many cases, subtile incompatibilities caused serious lossage when combined with the stress of overclocking and performance-tuning. Blame hit the fan, and was randomly distributed.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: GUI install
I absolutely agree. I never would have gotten Gentoo installed without my windows box sitting right next to it with multiple browser tabs open to the various gentoo docs. A gui that incorporated the docs and guided the user through the decisions to be made would be very helpful. It could even keep a log so have a reference of what steps you took. And I can't imagine that the gentoo honchos would ever force everyone to use a GUI... they can't unless they're also going to abandon the tarball stages and net install. I must also say that I actually wouldn't rate the docs so highly. There's a lot of them, but they're kind of a mess: scattered in different pages/hierarchies, often not adequately cross-referenced, and never, I mean *never*, helpful in anything less than a sunny-day scenario. Don't get me wrong; I highly appreciate the work that has gone into the docs and making gentoo what it is in general. Basically, I think that there are probably lots of people who try installing gentoo and give up (I know I came very close several times), and that's a shame. A *good* interface that guides the user through the decisions to be made and explains why they are making them (i.e. incorporating the docs) would probably get more people through the process with less anxiety, while still learning (nearly) as much. That's my take on it anyway. b Eamon Caddigan wrote: Hemmann, Volker Armin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Friday 02 January 2004 16:37, Mac Intyre, Steven wrote: Hi all, Is there possible a GUI install interface for Gentoo - similar to Mandrake. no, and I hope, that there will be never one. genflags/genkernel and the rest of this crap is newbie-friendly and non-working enough.

Now I know there are MANY who think qconfirm is a bad idea, I don't even use myself any more, especially since spam assassin has gotten so much better. Even if one disagrees with using this, is this a reason to make it hard for others, when some user has taken the time to build a perfectly good ebuild, that makes it easier for the next guy?. That, it seems to me is DICTATING POLICY!. At the very least they should put a comment into the bug that says that AREN't going to accept it and WHY! 2.) About 1.5 months ago they broke the qmail pop3 server. (Atleast with its interaction with Evolution) BAD. I submitted a bug, which they DID pay attention too. I worked with the team who asked me to generate some evolution debug output. Which enabled ME to find what they broke, I submitted the fix, and it was fairly quickly incorporated into the package. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34646 for the full history. 3.) I have developed an ebuild for the perl interface to the Xerces-c XML parser. Which is a bit of a pain to build. The Gentoo guides for submitting ebuilds says that the perl herders need to approve such ebiulds. Well, they do not even tell you how to send mail to the perl herders. (No link, no nothing).

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: GUI install
I still think they would be useful for power users, some of the stuff in the install is just repetitive after doing numerous installs (eg. extracting stage's, mounting proc, etc). It was fun doing it for the first time and learning a little bit what it takes to put an entire linux system together, but now I just want to get on with the install. I think for a GUI installer, something like being able to switch between the GUI and the command line would be nice. From doing a couple RedHat installs, when it comes to making the partitions, you're given the choice of using the gui or jumping to fdisk. So, you get as much power as you want.

If you followed the directions EXACTLY you would have a working gentoo system. Since you don't I'd say you missed something. One thing I've noticed now and again is I'll miss something during a new install because I forgot and glanced right over it because it was at the top of one of the printed pages or on the next page. An example is the emerge sync command. It's at the top of the next page from where it talked about it and just above the bold heading Setting Gentoo Optimizations (make.conf) so It's easy for me to miss sometimes.

Re: [gentoo-user] Base layout causing pointless config updates
Well guys if you have a good solution, then bring it up to the developer, but writing a script for every shit and putting it into portage is not what I want, gentoo is still lean but mean, if you have problems with manually checking those kind of files after emerge, I think you are not using the right distro. I updated baselayout once, so I checked those files, I think it is no big deal, it even forces me to check if there were any changes or improvements. As soon as gentoo starts to create scripts for any crap I switch again to another distro, the advantage of not having tools for anything is, that those tools can't break.

[gentoo-user] Vanilla install problems
I'm trying to install Gentoo (vanilla-sources) onto an old Toshiba Equium 7350S. It has a 10 GB IDE drive which I've partitioned with Partition Magic Pro to leave my Windows 2k partition at about 2 GB. I initially partitioned it to about 4 GB, but found that after I finally got GenToo installed so that I have a bash prompt, when I tried to do emerge -u gnome mozilla openoffice kde it chugged for about 48 hours then came up with no more disk space available and sure enough, stat -f . from / showed that my 5 GB linux root partition was full. Most of the space seems to be taken up by /var/tmp which I can't clear out with rmdir because there are hundreds of subdirectories under that all apparently full of files. I've tried moving /var/tmp to /tmp to see if the clean up /tmp function cleans it up. It does not. Now that I've resized my windows partition, I have a 2GB wad of unallocated space just before the (full) Linux root partition, but I can't seem to add any of that free space to the full root partition. Partition Magic won't let me do it from Windows, and parted is not found in linux. fdisk tells me I have to delete a partition before I can add another one. I'm reluctant to do that because if I re-install W2K on this PC, the proprietary install CD for W2K that came with this PC will completely reformat the hard drive and set it up as a single partition for the use of Windows. If I delete one of the linux partitions, I suspect I'll have to go through the 4-day linux re-install. Is there another way to get around this? I need to be able to delete the /var/tmp directory to free up some disk space or to merge the unallocated 2 GB wad into the existing (full) linux root partition. Is there a problem with the install procedure? Does it really take more than 5 GB to install all this? I notice there are a huge wad of games directories in My current partition layout is: (mostly from the fdisk p command) /dev/hda1 bootable 1 268 2152678+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 bootable 269 273 40162+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 274 336 506047+ 82 Linux swap unallocated space 337 578 /dev/hda4 579 1245 5357677+ 83 Linux -uf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Base layout causing pointless config updates
SN wrote: As soon as gentoo starts to create scripts for any crap I switch again to another distro, the advantage of not having tools for anything is, that those tools can't break. Look at Suse RedHat Mandrake, 30% of their bugs come from the tools they wrote. Having tools available doesn't mean that you are required to use them. I don't use RedHat any more, but when I *was*, I would edit configuration files by hand rather than use the tools provided with the distro. One, I don't like installing a GUI on a server (it seems that the graphical configuration tools are better known in later RH versions). Two, if I have to first find and then read about a tool that simply writes text to a file, I'd rather edit the file by hand. I find that easier. (Finding distro-specific config tools is much more difficult on a CLI, since you can't just browse to System Tools in the application menu.) However, there are probably hundreds or thousands of people using those tools in place of file editing. Seriously, do you still append users to the end of /etc/passwd with vi, or do you use useradd?
