Re: [gentoo-user] Config Files Update?
There is a program called 'etc-update' this will show you the changes that will be required to update your files in /etc and subdirs, but I find it doesn't do all the updates.. AJ Spagnoletti wrote: I recently just finished a stage 2 installation of gentoo and im still trying to work the bugs out. I emerged KDE and at the end of the emerge it said that 10 config files need to be updated. Is this something that has to be done manually or is there a command that will auto update them for me? I am still new to gentoo and linux so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. A.J. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Listing IP connection route
Is there any utility that will show me where connection went down? I have two ISP connections and one of them went down, I know my main ISP system is running as I was able to ping their server and I can connect via dial up. -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Have you tried traceroute or tracepath ? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Computer Reboots Instantly
Question, where did the 3rd line come from? This is what I get. cat /proc/config cat: /proc/config: No such file or directory I tried it on my IA32 and PA-RISC machines both gave the same response. Zachary P. Landau wrote: perhaps you should try: cd /usr/src/linux cat /proc/config .config make oldconfig (just hold down return, that selects defaults.) make dep make -j4 modules bzImage modules_install mount /boot cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/testkernel sync umount /boot cat EOF ~/add_to_grub title=Testkernel panicmode root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/testkernel root=/dev/hda3 init=/bin/sash EOF this should make a new panic-mode bootable in your system, if that works, start tweaking from there :) That's a great idea. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks a lot, I'll give it a shot when I get home from work and see if it works.
[gentoo-user] Getting XF86 to run on a C-180 box
Hello. I have a C-180 Visualize RISC system with a (GSC) A4070 video card with a A4747 daughter card. The system is happily running with Gentoo Linux, and the swap space hasn't even been touched... I would like to get this thing into doing something more than heating my bedroom, so I am wondering if anyone has a XF86Config file that I could get the video driver settings for the above card configuration. I have tried fbdev but even at Depth=8 I have not been able to get xfree running. I searched through the old mail archives but I couldn't find much more than the fbdev setup. When I do the command line from one of the mail list messages i get the following. vorlon portage # dmesg | grep stifb fb0: stifb 1280x1024-32 frame buffer device, id: 2bcb015a, mmio: 0xf810 fb1: stifb 1280x1024-8 frame buffer device, id: 2d08c0a7, mmio: 0xfa10 I'm not sure what this means, but I think the -8 and the -32 is the depth. The system RAM is fully populated with 768Megs If you require any more information, please just ask ;o) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Distfiles getting to large ?
I saw a option someplace that stated how much HD space (max) would
be consumed, and that was set to 2G, so yes there could be many files in
there, seeing as the Kernel is 30megs...

I was thinking about this a while ago, and currently the /distfiles/
repository has around 10,000 files. Wouldn't it be a good idea to start
thinking about re-organizing it? Right now the apache generated HTML = file
is over 2 megs!=20
One thing I was thinking would be to place packages in their portage
catagories.
For instance, all of the kernel packages (linux-2.x.y.tar.bz2's) will go
into=20 /sys-kernel/
All of the files that the kde ebuilds call for would go in=20 /kde-base/
=20
Any patches for programs could go into either
/patches/sys-kernel (I think this is a prefered method)
Or=20
/sys-kernel/patches=20
A couple of obvious problems would be the re-organizing files, but that
could be scripted seemingly easily. The problem would be propogating it = to
the rest of the distfiles servers. I wouldn't think the ebuilds = themselves
would be a problem. You would just need to change
SRC_URI=3Dmirror://gentoo/${P}.tbz2 to
SRC_URI=3Dmirror://gentoo/${CATEGORY}/${P}.tbz2
In any ebuilds that download packages from a distfiles mirror (I've =
noticed items like the kernel sources don't)
Anyone else have any pros/cons to such a task?

[gentoo-user] BitTorrent - GentooGames
Hello. I emerged in bittorrent and downloaded the .ISO for RTCW-ET and had the program running for about a day, now it gets Connection refused when its trying to connect.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: BitTorrent - GentooGames
Ummm ok, how do I do that ? Is it an option in the program? I would have thought if finding another was possible, the program should be able to cycle or hunt to find one that will work.

This is probably not your problem (unless your DNS and/or net connection has failed) - the tracker can only host ~10,000 users and they sometimes get overloaded. Try and find a different tracker, basically.
Re: [gentoo-user] emerge libgsf-1.8.1 Problem, and hassle workaround
Actually this wasn't just in this library, I found this same problem in several of the gnome library upgrades (and new installs) Rod Smart wrote: Hello. Whats changed in the emerging of libgsf-1.8.1?

Re: [gentoo-user] Time is Wrong

I just updated the time via ntpdate (which is also set in my crontab to run every nite). It had the right time, but now I look at it and it's roughly an hour and ten minutes fast. What does this kind of error mean? How would I fix it?

Set this up and just leave it running, and it will keep your clock in sync with a master server. Go to http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ and read what it is and what it does. it is much better than relying on ntpdate to correct your clock every so many hours. ALL computer clocks drift, no matter what computer/motherboard/RTC, they all drift. Have a look at ntp.drift mine is ... wwm # cat /etc/ntp/ntp.drift 24.003 If you get really paranoid, go get a GPS receiver like the old Motorola GPS Engine, hook to your Serial port, install the interface software and set your computer clock to this stratum 1 time service. -- Rod Smart Pre Production Coordinator Rohwedder Pty.
