Re: [gentoo-user] Network Card Problems
Just thought I'd post this in case others have the same problem. I got my network working finally by installing the vanilla sources. I didn't have to edit or do anything else once the vanilla-sources where compiled and installed. For some reason the gentoo-sources would not work with this card (3Com 3cSOHO100-TX).

Re: [gentoo-user] Network Card Problems
Well, I compiled the kernel like you said by grabbing the /proc/config settings while booting from the CD. I compiled that kernel, but the network still fails to start. :-( Next I am removing anything that I believe is not required to boot, and see if that works. If not, then I don't see any other choice but to abandon Gentoo on this system. Thanks for trying, Leonid. I appreciate it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Network Card Problems

Both were not enabled the last time or two I compiled the kernel, so since they aren't the problem, I will compile them back in. I also tried disabling grsecurity to make sure that wasn't the problem, but that didn't work either. > This means that the problem is clearly either at the dhcp server (do > you have other boxes that use the sam dhcp server?) or it is some > physical problem, like the ethernet cable fell off from the switch or > something like this. I do have other systems that use the same DHCP server and they all work fine (even other Gentoo systems). It's not a cable or switch problem since the system works just fine if I boot off of the Gentoo install CD. When I boot off the CD, the system detects the NIC and DHCP gets an ip address and everything is fine, yet the system refuses to work with the kernel (gentoo-sources) that I've compiled. This is really frustrating. Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Network Card Problems
This seems a bit odd. I'm installing gentoo on a box that has a 3Com 3cSOHO100-TX network card. The card works fine when booting off the CD and seems to use the 3c59x module, but after the install, using the same module, the card does not work. I've double checked the kernel and all settings seem correct. I've checked the /etc/conf.d/net file and everything is fine there (the system is setup to use DHCP but it also doesn't work when I give it a static IP either). The module loads during boot up but the system hangs when it gets to the network card , and finally times out. Has anyone had any success using one of these cards before? I have two systems running perfectly using the 3Com 3c905C-TX cards with exactly the same settings. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong?

Dhruba, Yes, just put CD 3 into your Linux PC and run the Linux install script (linuxinstaller.sh I think) (it's in the root directory of the CD) and follow the instructions. You probably will want to read the README file first just to get an idea of what you need to do to do the install. Do not run the install script from your mounted CD directory because you will need to change CDs so doing that would cause you problems. As far as I know multiplayer does work.

Nicholas, Do you mean actually logging in as root and running the updater? I did try that and I get the same error. I also tried removing the .loki folder and I get the same error still, as well.

Re: [gentoo-user] X windows question [ut2003]
Thanks guys, I wasn't even aware of the xhost command. The program I am trying to run still doesn't work but but I no longer get the Xlib errors. I am trying to run the updater for ut2003 but I keep getting the following error. ERROR: ut2003 not found, are you the one who installed it? I installed the game as root but I get this same error message whether I run the updater as root or as my regular user. Anyone know what might be going on here?

[gentoo-user] X windows question
Everything works fine as a normal user but if I try to run something while sudo root I get the following error. Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified And then something like: cannot open display: :0.0 (or) Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Anyone seen this before? Is there a setting somewhere that could fix this? Or does it have to do with my grsecurity settings, which are set to medium? Anyone have any ideas? Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Aaron, Are you trying scanbus as root? If so have you tried running dmesg to see if your cd-r is detected at boot?

Re: [gentoo-user] cflag & gcc optimisation questions
>From what I've read and heard from people -fomit-frame-pointer doesn't really add much as far as performance is concerned. So you could probably leave that out without noticing any difference in performance. No need to recompile either way, though, as long as your system is currently working properly. As far as your other optimisations are concerned you're probably squeezing as much performance out of your system as you're going to get using your current flags. Fooling with other options might squeeze out a few percentage points but most likely it will cause your system to become quite unstable.

Re: [gentoo-user] Error emerging MySQL
Thanks for your suggestion Ernie, but I need MySQL for webpage
development. I fixed my problem anyway. The problem does have to do
with glibc and can be fixed (or at least bypassed) by adding the
following lines to the mysql ebuild, located at
/usr/portage/devel-db/mysql/mysql-3.23.54a.ebuild (or 3.23.55 depending
on which version you're installing). The two lines are:
export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -DHAVE_ERRNO_AS_DEFINE=1"
export CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -DHAVE_ERRNO_AS_DEFINE=1"
Note: 3.23.55 already has the first line just add the second. See this
bug report for more details.

Same here. I use Reiser as my root partition and I have no problems either. The notail option is just for Reiser boot partitions.

Re: [gentoo-user] Install dilemma need some advice
I rebooted and the machine is hung at "Verifying DMI pool data. It sat there like that for 10 minutes. I hit the reset and the same thing. It's been like that for an hour now. Is my new drive toast? does anyone have any ideas? I would suggest you un-plug the hard drive or plug in another one (if available) to see if the problem still exists. Sometimes, when stuff like that happen, the MBR (master boot record) of the hard drive gets confused so if all else fails and you don't get the "Verifying DMA pool data" error with that hard drive not in your system, you could try to erase the master boot record. But be warned, if you have data on the hard drive more than likely it will be inaccessible after you do this. Jason Ernie Schroder wrote: I've got the new machine built.

Re: [gentoo-user] etc-update
Ian, that was my point exactly. I'm not saying that, by default, etc-update should update all files automatically but being able to tell it to update all files that I know I haven't manually changed would be a good thing.

As much of a pain as it is, it is of utmost importance that you take the time to review the changes and be sure they make sense for your system. You surely wouldn't want your make.conf to just be overwritten. Not updating or blindly updating the files in /etc is probably one of the top reasons for system problems. There is a nice new feature that will automatically update insignificant changes to the config files. Check out /etc/etc-update.conf.
