[gentoo-user] Filesystem couldn't be fixed?
Hello! Today my ext3 filesystem had gone 30 days w/o checking and check was forced :). When the checking process ended, it said something usual about fragmentation and number of blocks, and then: * Filesystem couldn't be fixed [!!] And this is the only error message I can see. What does this mean and where can I look for error that occured? Any kind of log? Syslog starts later so I can't rely on /var/log/*. Upon the next reboot, all goes okay, e2fsck says that FS is clean. Same result if I issue "e2fsck /dev/hda4" command manually. How can I catch this nasty error now? No strange noises from HDD, no read/write problems, but this is second time I get this error. Anyone had something like this? TIA, Dmitry. -- Gentoo Linux 2.4.20 #1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You just need a grub executable. I don't remember if it's on live CD. In case it's not there, you'll have to mount your system && chroot into it.

I don't want the kernel to fit on a floppy. I get this warning every time I compile kernel. It's normal thing, so don't worry.

I'm an "x86" guy :).
The question is: What are those new ('N') packages? Why might I need iputils
for example? I don't use them at all.
And I'd be very grateful if some one could point out what packages depend on
that 'N's?
May be its because some new USE-flags in make.globals?
a) I have libxml2 installed and I wonder why might I need 'libxml'? Even
'libxml2' docs recommend get rid of first version of library.
b) I don't use gnome! I don't need 'libglade'!
c) Gosh, I even don't know what is 'flac', 'libfame' and 'id3lib'!
d) I use mplayer, not xine!
e) 'i2c'? Why? lm-sensors are not installed.
WTF is going on? :-)
Thanks in advance,
Dmitry.

[gentoo-user] hdparm && acoustic settings
Hello, For about a 6 month ago I used 'hdparm -M 192' to reduce noise coming from my HDD (Maxtor 60GB). It worked pretty well -- since then I can't hear my hard drive at all. Now I noticed that my (recently installed) KDE apps are starting too slow and while they are starting HDD is used pretty hard, so I think that the reason of this is that HDD's disks spin at lower speed -- that's the cost of silence :). Now goes the main question: does the value given to -M option has some specific format? I mean, may be it has to be a some power of 2 or something like that? Or I can set any value from range specified in the man page of hdparm? "hdparm -I" gives me: Recommended acoustic management value: 192, current value: 192 And am I correct in that setting it to higher value may improve perfomance while starting KDE apps? I have Athlon 1700+, so I don't think that slow CPU is the reason of slow-starting apps :). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'd vote against aRts too. I always have it disabled... May be arts has a great support for mixing effects etc etc, but *all* I need is just to hear sounds and nothing more! And basic sound playing with aRts is just terrible -- it skips here and there and everywhere *even* if I give aRts the realtime priority. Hope that, as Arnold said, kde4 will get rid of aRts. As about Noatun, it looks pretty well and promising, but I wasn't able to get my cyrrillic titles of songs to display correctly in it (may be I have my /dev/hands broken ;) ).

Re: [gentoo-user] Computer Reboots Instantly
Hello! IIRC, sometime ago (may be a long time) someone on this list reported similar problem. Try to search through the archives. If I'm right, it had something to do with incorrect grub configuration file, but I can be mistaken. "Incorrect" in this case means wrong syntax (unneccessary space or another symbol placed somewhere) - not wrong partition setup. Anyway, take a look at your grub.conf and if it's allright, search the archives for your problem. HTH, Dmitry. On Sunday 22 June 2003 23:30, Zachary P.

Re: [gentoo-user] kdevelop-2.1.5 with kde-3.1.2
IIRC, I solved the problem you have with setting some env variable to correct value. Its name was something like AUTOCONF_VERSION= -- I don't remember correctly. I recall that when I got the error you are talking about, I was able (don't actually remember how) to dig out that that variable should be set to correct autoconf version (which kdevelop needs). After I set it, all worked great w/o any reemerging of autoconf/automake. If I'm correct, you already have several versions of autoconf installed (at least I have), you only need to specify which one you wish to use. I hope that anyone can give a hint of what correct name of that env variable is, cause I cant remember it right now. HTH, Dmitry. On Sunday 22 June 2003 14:06, Martin LORANG wrote: > Yes !

Thanks, brett. I've already done what I wanted -- using 'id username' and then 'usermod'. Now I have another problem: Portage still says that user is not in 'portage' group...

I've put the option that brett suggested in /etc/modules.d/nvidia, not in /etc/modules.conf. I think, he mistyped or smth like that :). I knew that modules.conf is not the right place to put one's options. And what do you expect to see in my 'nvidia' file? If you wanted to know what my GPU is: its a GF4 MX440 SE. Anyway here it is (I think it's rather common): # Nvidia drivers support alias char-major-195 nvidia alias /dev/nvidiactl char-major-195 # To tweak the driver the following options can be used, note that # you should be careful, as it could cause instability!! # # To enable Side Band Adressing: NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 # # To enable Fast Writes: NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 # # To enable both for instance, uncomment following line: # options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 Last option works perfect, no errors (at least visual). I'm writing this message with that option set (I'm in X of course :) ). And what error might one expect to happen when setting this option to 1? And another thing that left unanswered: what is 'FastWrites' and why might I need it? -- Gentoo Linux 2.4.20 #1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Try it and see what happens. Thanks, brett! I've enabled it, but didn't notice some notable changes :). Only one: my XFree 3.0 animated cursor stopped to blink from time to time, like it did before enabling FastWrites. glxgears give the same result as before update: about 2100 fps. Everything works fine (for about 5 minutes), so, I think I will not bother setting it back :). thanks again.

I can see that it's supported on my system, but disabled. And should I enable it?

[gentoo-user] Troubles with GTK+ fonts
Hello, all. I have problems with gtk-1.2.10 cyrillic fonts. I have a lot of them installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. There are also many ttf fonts there. All paths to respective dirs are in XF86Config file. But strange thing - when i'm in IceWM and launch some GTK+ app (such as sylpheed or xmms) all works great! :) All symbols are displayed correctly :). And in KDE - I can't read anything - it displays something terrible for those apps! :) (must note that for KDE apps all the things are OK) And, i don't know why - it is terrible only in menu and toolbars. Those fonts that i can set manually (i.e. in sylpheed - font for displaying message text) are displayed OK. I think I should write down my own default fonts for menus and toolbars somewhere in gtk's config file. But I don't know where is it :(. If anyone knows, please help. (i've tried /etc/X11/gtk/gtkrc.ru - that didn't help) Again, than why in ICEWM all works great w/o any hacking of conf. files? Thanks in advance.

[gentoo-user] Portage snapshots
Hello! How do you think, are the following commands safe to do in the case that i already have portage tree in /usr/portage that is a bit outdated: $ wget http://gentoo.linux.no/snapshots/portage-20030401.tar.bz2 $ cp /tmp/portage-20030401.tar.bz2 /usr && cd /usr $ tar -xvjpf portage-20030401.tar.bz2 I mean can it be that some old files mess up with new ones?
