Re: [gentoo-user] multiple kernel configs
John Dangler wrote: I changed some options to the menuconfig (trying to get that splash to work), and saved the changes to an alternate config file. I'd like to make a kernel with _that_ config file and keep it separate from my default 2.6-r12 kernel, since, when the splash causes the panic, I have some way to get back in. How do I compile a new kernel that I can add to the grub.conf with the alternate config ? Just copy it in /boot with a different name, and add an entry in grub.conf for that. For future reference, I also always save the config files in a dedicated directory. Example (with a lot of fantasy, I name kernels using their version number, but that's of course just personal preference): # ls /boot 2.6.11.11 Sytem.map-2.6.11.11 This is where I save the configs (again, you might want to do it differently): # ls /root/conf 2.6.11.11.conf Relevant section of grub.conf: title 2.6.11.11 root (hd-whatever,n) kernel (hd-whatever,m)/2.6.11.11 root=/dev/hda3 Now suppose I want to do some tests with new features, so this is what I do: # cd /usr/src/linux # make mrproper(I think this is not strictly required, I usually do it) # make menuconfig (load the config file from /root/conf/2.6.11.11.conf, adjust what you want to change, and save the config back to /root/conf but with a different name to preserve the old one, e.g. /root/conf/2.6.11.11-newfeatures.conf Optionally you may also want to append an EXTRAVERSION to the kernel version - something that will show up when you do uname -a - IIRC there's now a dedicated menuconfig entry to do this, otherwise you can just edit the Makefile after menuconfig) # make make modules_install # cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/2.6.11.11-newfeatures (Optional, but I usually do this, expecially if I set the extraversion) # cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.11.11-newfeatures Edit grub.conf, and add a line like this after the existing one: title 2.6.11.11-newfeatures root (hd-whatever,n) kernel (hd-whatever,m)/2.6.11.11-newfeatures root=/dev/hda3 Reboot and you'll see both entries in the grub boot menu.

Re: [gentoo-user] Finer grained date output.
Willie Wong wrote: The nanosecond option has always puzzled me, if only because on my box I never get any finer grained output than microseconds... i.e. date +%N always gives 0 as the last three digits. Now technically this computer runs at 2 GHz... so presumably it is possible to hit the enter key not exactly on the microsecond. Is there something in the kernel? or the clock? I'm also getting the last three digits zeroes. I started digging a bit, this is what I found: gettimeofday(2) says it returns microseconds clock(3) apparently returns processor ticks, though naturally there will be some hard limit to it's accuracy due to scheduling, etc. The FreeBSD man page has some more about different clocks: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=clocks Under Linux (couldn't find anything in fbsd) there is also /sbin/hwclock, apparently an interface to the hardware clock. It seems to take some while though to actually read it out. So I don't know where date(1) is getting it's nanoseconds from, but I suppose that nanoseconds is just there for upwards-compatibility and it calls gettimeofday(2) at the moment.

Re: [gentoo-user] where's the splash?
John Dangler schreef: Holly~ Maybe you can get this to work with this page... http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash#Option_1:_Compiling_The_initramfs_Imag e_Directly_Into_The_Kernel There's a section somewhere in here that talks about that exact error. John D Thank you, John-- that is what I've been doing (which is a change from my original behaviour, which was to compile a separate initrd). Doing so did improve the situation in that using the livecd theme now allows the computer to boot (whereas the initrd using the silent splash would result in a kernel panic and halt). But I still get the message that 'no 8bpp pics are specified in the theme file' (twice) and then the message that the silent or verbose (whichever I've specified) image cannot be found, after which the system continues to boot. The console images are said to be being set (no message that they cannot be found), but (of course) do not appear. I even uninstalled the theme, deleted the folder in /etc/splash and reinstalled (which surprisingly gave me a new tarball), but there was no change. I haven't yet rebuilt the kernel with the emergence theme instead to see if there's any difference, but that's next on the list, along with Uwe's suggestion to tar up /etc/splash and let him have a look at it. I'd think it's a script problem, but many (or even most) people have no problem with this theme, so I'd think it's something on my system, but I can't imagine what would be so unique to my system that this problem would show only for me wait a minute. I did notice one thing, however-- or rather two things that are related (so add up to one thing). Maybe the problem is /lib/splash/cache? This is mounted as a tmpfs, but not by /etc/fstab, and I can't get rid of it (unmount it). I think it's mounted because I was instructed to --bind it at some point in the very distant past, and while I noticed that it was mounted for 'no reason' (shouldn't it unmount when the system has finished booting, after all?), it gave no attributable problems (in terms of the system as a whole). But as an experiment during this effort to solve the stupid problem with the livecd theme (I hope you all see why I haven't attempted to solve it up to now; this is a lot of work for a really dumb issue), I tried setting the theme to 1024x768 instead of my traditional 1280x1024 (under the theory that maybe 1280x1024 was also somehow non-standard, like the 1280x800 the forums poster was using, but everything should support 1024x768). What happened was no change, but the message specifically said something about looking for 1280x1024.cfg... which wasn't right. So maybe some bad files are being cached somewhere, and that's why all of my changes have been ignored? How do I get rid of cachedir on /lib/splash/cache type tmpfs (rw)? Maybe then I won't have to clog up Uwe's email with a tar file (that I'd have to look up the commands to create anyway ;) ). Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

And if the device is correct, and the settings of the program is correct, the only time I see such errors as those (not in Xine, but in a file manager or the like), is when the device is not mounted (despite media being in the drive), so the files on the media are not readable by the program.

But while emering portages for gentoo,after compilation of KDE portage my computer hangs permanentally and nothing more is done after that. Everytime when irestart my computer and emerge KDE, it starts compilationfrom the same point . Also i keep getting DMA_INTR errors sometimes while installion . I have tried using -c option with mke2fs but the errors still keep coming . Is it because of that . Can anyone please help me and suggest what would be causing this problem and how can i carry on with the installation.
I was facing some compiler problem (i368 VS i686 ) which then was resolved by using fix_lib_tools . Is there something that i maybe missing as this is the first time i am installing gentoo.

Instead of going down that path with you all (Holly - can I write you offline?) ;-) I bought an NVidia adapter from 3D Fuzion. It uses a GeForce4 MX 4000, runs at 4X and has 128MB DDR. I thought I'd try this out. Low and behold I'm doing worse than with the Radeons! For configuration I'm working mostly from this page: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml Currently I have MTTR enabled and /dev/agpgart and agp_via support in the kernel. (As modules) The NVidia card comes up fine in text mode as I boot, but when the machine goes into graphics mode I get only the NVidia logo and a mouse arrow. The mouse will move the arrow so the adapter is alive, but beyond that I see almost nothing. The screen never goes to the GDM login. If I type my user name and password I hear the machine going into Gnome but the screen never changes. There does appear to be a very small dark area, about the height of 1 or 2 pixels, in the upper left corner, but other than that nothing but the NVidia logo screen.

But while emering portages for gentoo, after compilation of KDE portage my computer hangs permanentally and nothing more is done after that. Everytime when i restart my computer and emerge KDE, it starts compilation from the same point . Also i keep getting DMA_INTR errors sometimes while installion . I have tried using -c option with mke2fs but the errors still keep coming . Is it because of that . Can anyone please help me and suggest what would be causing this problem and how can i carry on with the installation. I was facing some compiler problem (i368 VS i686 ) which then was resolved by using fix_lib_tools . Is there something that i maybe missing as this is the first time i am installing gentoo.

Re: [gentoo-user] unmerge emacs
emacs provides virtual/editor The system profile is a set of programs that is necessary for your computer to boot and build other programs. One of this things you need to do to boot a computer is to edit the configuration files in /etc, for that you need an editor. The system profile (you can see what it brings in by emerge --emptytree --pretend system) requires something that satisfies virtual/editor, and by default I think gentoo uses nano.

Any files to localize Firefox should be there (at least that's how it worked for the Dutch files). Yes, there is a language pack for language that I need (Italian, German, Bulgarian, Brazilian), I knew it... You might also want to use the Locale Switcher extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=356 to switch between locales if you use more than one. Hope this helps, Holly The problem is to install them: I cannot find something like mozilla (install languages). I see a windows in the tools menu with the installed languages... only the en-US. I ask myself why they don't use the mozilla system: easy and it works very good! Any tricks? They're .xpi files, yes? The language pack should be. However, all the sites for the languages you're looking for don't seem to have language packs, just full installers although I can't read most of these languages well enough to be sure. But I couldn't find any such pack on the German localization site, for example. I did find one of the sp_SP page, though. I am aware that you weren't looking for Spain Spanish, but I had a hope of reading that, since the Lating American Spanish page had a MySQL error and I couldn't view the downloads. Anyway.. just click the download link for the relevant *.xpi, and Firefox should offer to install it-- or, more likely, a bar should appear across the top of the window saying that the site is not authorized to install software. In that case, click the Edit Options button that appears at the end of the bar at the top of the page, and a dialog will allow you to add the site to the list of authorized installer sites (if you don't want the setting to be permanent, you can remove it later, for security sake), and then click the download/install link again. Now the extension (because it is an extension) should install. If it doesn't, then you need to do the exact same thing, but after running Firefox as root. Most extensions install to ~/.mozilla/firefox/wherever (so the user may install them), but some install to /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox (so only root can install them), and atm I don't remember which kind the language pack is. Of course, you could just do what I do and have root change the permissions of the main application plugins folder, so that a user may write to it, because otherwise it's a PITA, but that's just me. So, once the language pack is installed, also install the Locale Switcher extension if you haven't (I think that one has to be installed by root as well). When you're done, close and reopen Firefox as root to actually install it the extensions. Then close the root instance, and open a user instance. Under the 'Extras' menu, you should now have an entry Languages. This entry allows you to switch what language the application displays in. Choose your language, then close and reopen Firefox to set it. This is not really all that elegant for 'on the fly' switching, I admit-- there's probably a way to specify the language from the command line, but I don't know what it is, sorry.

If xmms plays, then your sound is obviously working. If KDE system sounds are not playing, there could be 3 reasons that I can think of: 1) arts (the kde sound server) is not enabled. You can check this in kcontrol=Sound and Multimedia=Sound System; is the checkbox for 'enable sound system' checked? Is the correct sound system selected in the 'Hardware' tab?

Is the checkbox and drop-down menu to turn all sounds off perhaps enabled? Secondarily, try selecting an event that has a sound attached. Does the 'Play sound' checkbox become checked? If you test the sound using the little 'Play' button next to the filename, can you hear it? 3) KMix is set to override alsamixer settings on login, and it (KMix) is muted (KMix does not use or refer to the alsamixer settings, but rather its own. It's very annoying, and why I avoided it during my brief time using KDE).

I'm wondering: is that hdware or software specific because I have no such option and I'm assuming this is the latest version having just updated everything. BTW when I unmuted 'Master' the problem went away :) -mw __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[gentoo-user] VMWare?
Hey all, I have a friend who is getting a desktop, (high end) and was wondering if he should VMware under WinXp and install Gentoo on VMWare. How slow would this be if any, under an Athlon 64 3000+, and what are general pros and cons with VMware? He is also thinking of dualbooting, would that be smarter? Thanks! Ian __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [gentoo-user] VMWare?
that's backwards! install vmware under gentoo, then win xp under vmware.

Re: [gentoo-user] VMWare?
I personally run it the right way if there is such a thing. Gentoo with VMware 5 installed on the computer and XP Pro installed inside of VMware. For what little I need Windoze VMware works wonders. It runs most Windows apps (including the OS) almost faster than it runs naively. I haven't tried it the other way around (VMware installed on top of Windoze) but I can imagine that it runs far slower on Windoze than it does on Gentoo. As far as my experience running VMware on Gentoo I have nothing but good experiences. The only downside is the licensing cost to get a copy of VMware. -MikeOn 8/20/05, Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree with John.

You may also want to try qemu (LGPL) and the acceleration kernel module kqemu, which makes qemu quite competetive with vmware (but is sadly not open-source). http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ Plex86 apparently can only run a patched linux guest os at the moment: http://plex86.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7762667forum_id=26580 Marco -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
