Is fstab relevant at this point? As surely /etc/fstab cannot be read
until after the root ('/') filesystem is mounted, and this is what is
failing.

[gentoo-user] Too many X modules pulled in
Dear List,
I'm trying to install Gentoo on a headless machine. I want programs to
use the X libraries, so that I can SSH in from another machine and use X
over TCP, but I'm not too fond of installing the entire X package
(especially the X server) on it, since it won't ever be used.
However, I just tried to install a couple of program linking against GTK
(such avahi), and GTK, for some reason, tries to pull in lots of stuff
that I don't really want (among others, the X server). Looking in the
GTK ebuild, I found this:
RDEPEND="|| ( (
x11-libs/libXrender
x11-libs/libX11
x11-libs/libXi
x11-libs/libXt

x11-proto/xineramaproto )
virtual/x11 )
doc? (
>=dev-util/gtk-doc-1.4
~app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2 )"
I even emerged all those X11 dependencies myself, but even then, it
wants to emerge xorg-server. The first few lines of the output of
"emerge -tvp gtk+" look like this:
[ebuild N] x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.19 USE="X jpeg -debug -doc -tiff
-xinerama" 12,015 kB
[ebuild N] x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.17-r2 558 kB
[ebuild N] dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.26 USE="ipv6 python readline

[ebuild N] dev-util/intltool-0.35.0 126 kB
[ebuild N] x11-libs/pango-1.12.3 USE="-debug -doc" 1,197 kB
[ebuild N] x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.2-r7 USE="dri ipv6 -debug
-minimal -xprint" 8,716 kB
I'm not an expert with portage, but the fact that xorg-server is
indented one space from gtk+ means that gtk+ depends on it directly,
doesn't it? If so, whence does that dependency come from (it's obviously
not on the DEPEND or RDEPEND variables)?
Please help me -- what should I do to make gtk+ only pull in the minimal
amount of deps?
Thanks for your time!

It's because it inherits the virtualx.eclass -- gtk+ requires an X server (Xvfb) to build. What you can do is set USE="minimal -dmx -xorg -xprint" in your package.use for xorg-server to minimize this. Also try VIDEO_CARDS="" and INPUT_DEVICES="" in make.conf. However, this only works well on xorg-server-1.1, so you will also need to add it to package.keywords. Thanks, Donnie signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem booting after reinstall
Well, I didn't see any reason to try this. The kernel should know where
the root filesystem lives.
I've tried it just now:
The panic is the same. The only difference is that the unknown device is
(hd3,3).
I've even tried to set "root=(hd0,2)" (I know, this is NOT what ``info
grub'' says) :o(
Just the same .
See if we can solve this. For so far: the ~x86 system worked better ;(
Regards
Frank

While *this* particular issue should not apply to you - as you have grub, installing 98 may mean that the drive numbers for XP in your grub configuration are now wrong. Some experimentation with your grub setup will be needed I suspect. Hopefully others can help with these (I use lilo). Good luck Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Can anyone help me? I advise you to mount the winxp partition, or the partition where your document files reside, if it is a different one. Dont have a windows box right now at hand, but they usually are at c:\documents and settings\ or something similar. Mount the partition from linux, even a livecd can be used for that purpose. Then make a backup of the docs, at least, the ones that you need for tomorrow. Then, once you have recued all the relevant stuff, you can mess up with ntldr or reinstall or whatever. BTW, why do you want to delete it? You need to restore it or whatever, ntldr is the Windows loader, you need it to boot Windows ;) As you said, there is a lot of info on various ntldr, I left the windows world time ago, so I could not help on that even anyway. But I give you the advise, first, overall if you are not familiar with anything that you need to do to restore it, make a backup, that is never a bad thing to have.

Re: [gentoo-user] Dual screen display, one is offset

I'm running an ATI videocard and using the fglrx driver. The monitor on the right is using the DVI interface, while the screen on the left is using the SVGA interface. I've gotten everything working except for the fact that the left screen is shifted to the right. That is, there's a large black stripe down the left side of the display which I cannot move the mouse into, and there's an equal sized chunk missing off the right side (which is the middle of the wide screen display). It's like the left half of the display is shifted about 20% to the right. This was my primary display until I got the second monitor today, and it did not display the offset problem when it was configured for a single display.

[gentoo-user] the user mode linux can't access network..
I have my user mode kernel running on my gentoo box following the gentoo's guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/uml.xmlbut can not access the Internet, pinging my host system appears to be no problem though.. my host system has a ADSL connection to the Internet, and "eth0" has been assigned with IP 192.168.0.1.here is my command line that brings up the user mode linux: UML> linux ubd0=root_fs ubd1=swap_fs eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.1I assigned 192.168.0.2 to my UML, added default route entry; copyed over my resolv.conf.but still can't contact with my name servers nor other Internet hosts.did I miss something? or the guide is just incomplete?thanks.daniel
