Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] Mac Mini PPC - Is this the right list?

2008-04-17 Thread matt hull

OK, so I then booted from the hard drive and modified /etc/yaboot.conf
like this:

image=/boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r3
label=2.6.24-gentoo-r3
root=/dev/hda4
partition=4
append=video=radeonfb:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
read-only

Unfortunately when I reboot from the drive this time the monitor is
not stable. Same bad screen I've been getting.


i assume you ran ybin -v after you changed yaboot.conf ?

also maybe try video=radeonfb:1024x768 without the bit depth or  
frequency



Here's what I'm seeing in dmesg:
vga16fb: initializing
vga16fb: mapped to 0x000a
fb1: VGA16 VGA frame buffer device


i would remove vga from the kernel, its kinda useless ( at least will  
be once you figure the is out, right now it is being used as a fall  
back)



So, why is it in a 720x400 mode?


no idea


A couple of other questions. I'm assuming the 'p' or 'i' in the mode
names above are progressive vs. interlace? Should I be including that
in how I describe the name in yaboot.conf?


yes, i do believe that it is progressive and interlaced.  you do not  
need to specify that in yaboot.conf



Also, what are the S, V  U at the start of each mode name?


i found the file that explained that once, forgot where it is and  
wish i could remember!  i want to know myself.

 Somehow, the OS(udev?) still thinks it's using the old

No, it thinks you have changed the card, and eth0 was allocated to the
old card.

 Hopefully that's the fix. Should know next boot. But
 doesn't expdefault to eth0?lain(at least to me) why eth0 is now
 defunct. If all I have is one ethernet port, doesn't
 that default to eth0?

Yes, but then udev sees that eth0 is already allocated to another card so
makes this one eth1. Just delete the file as mentioned previously to have
udev forget about the old card and start again with eth0.

Overclocking when done properly, is very safe. There are TONS of sites
out there to help with the research. And there are an equal ammount of
hardware that can safely support Overclocking.

So word from the wise (trial and error wise), take your time, do your

Statements like this, bleed miseducation. Not every peice of hardware
is OC'able. You *must* research the parts in question. It's almost
always a safe bet to OC three things in very small increments.
Motherboard, CPU and RAM. If all these can't talk to each other at the
same speed, then you are dead in the water. No point in continueing.
GPU's are independant of the system as far as Overclockcing goes, so
if the GPU supports it, you can safely OC that. I would hedge my bets
though and make sure my AGP/PCIe slot has speed-based room to move
around in. That being said, for example, OC'ing an AGP 4x card to 8X
speeds, if you want it to work, you still have to have an 8x AGP
Slot..

[gentoo-user] baselayout-2.0.0 surprises

Hi,

after upgrading to  baselayout-2.0.0  ( and openrc ) I've got some
unpleasant surprises.
Is there an upgrade guide anywhere ?

Maybe some problems are causes by myself (accidently)

/etc/conf.d/rc  seems to have gone  (now /etc/rc.conf ?)

/etc/conf.d/net seems to have gone
  this inhibited my network after reboot
  Has it really gone or did I delete by accident ?
  After I have replaced /etc/conf.d/net from a backup
  the network came up on the next boot.

While the init scripts is running, I get the following
messages never seen before

- cruft in proc

- net.ppp0 not under our control, aborting
  Fortunately it didn't abort my ppp connection
  (otherwise there wouldn't been this email)

Are there more problems to be expected?

[gentoo-user] OT Best font selection?

2008-04-17 Thread Liviu Andronic
Hello everyone,

Although perfectly aware that this is a much subjective business, I am
looking for best fonts, and would much appreciate your sharing of
personal choices. This Wiki article [1] has some insight, but not
sufficient to satisfy my quest.

For best printed output I have settled for either Computer Modern or
Palatino, through LyX (LaTeX). For Terminal I am quite happy with
Terminus. But I am not very satisfied with the User Interface font. I
am currently using Verdana size 8, under Xfce, with anti-aliasing
enabled. However, I would much like to use a high-quality LCD display
font, that would look good with anti-aliasing disabled (I already have
-bindist for media-libs/freetype).

So, what font do you use for the User Interface?

Thank you in advance,
Liviu

no, the thing is, -p for 'automatic checkrepair' is just wrong. -a would be 
better. Because -a is understood by a lot more fscks.

-p as prune/automatic repair is only understood by ext2/3 and reiserfsck. 
-a is there for a reason. A good one.

Not using fsck for xfs also has a reason. A good one. From man
fsck.xfs:

XFS is a journaling filesystem and performs recovery at mount(8) time if
necessary,  so  fsck.xfs simply exits with a zero exit status.

So whatever option you give to it, it doesn't matter.

As I understand it, dar32 uses 32 bit integers and dar64 uses 64 bit integers,
I believe to represent file and archive sizes.  The description on the the USE
flag dar64 on the Gentoo site says, Enables --enable-mode=64 option, which
replace infinint by 64 bits integers.  The dar32 option is described in the
same way, only with 32 replacing 64.

I'm currently using it with a local server. If I decide to use the
backups on a remote server too, I'll probably stick to backing up to the
local server and then using rsync. It makes sense to have a copy of the
backup locally and only use the much slower option of restoring from a
remote host when absolutely necessary.

No need for a rev bump here i guess! Anybody who runs into this will not 
benefit from a rev bump, as the files were gone and are not restored by 
the bump.


Also this package is in ~arch and left package.mask recently, so it is

Second: I don't think this is normal filesystem cruft like which is 
discussed in the forum. The proc (proc - Process information

yes, need for a rev bump. If one person has a problem and another person does 
not have the problem, it is helpfull to be able to determine the exact 
version of the packet installed. Not bumping revs makes that harder.

problems, yes. The nuking of important config files and non-boot: no.

That is complety inacceptable for something that is not package.masked. 
Especially in the second case where a simple replace of a single letter could 
have avoided them. 
That the problem is known since Octobre does not make that better in any way.

[gentoo-user] Unmerged coreutils + mktemp; can't emerge anymore

2008-04-17 Thread Walter Dnes
  I assume I'll have to download some gentoo system binaries.  Can
someone point me to what I need?

  Here's what happened.  I did a regular emerge --sync and then tried
an update.  There seemed to be a circular blockage involving both
coreutils and mktemp.  As I've done in similar situations in the past, I
removed the blocking packages and re-tried emerge.  Apparently, I
unmerged something vital.  Emerge dies like so...

  Sorry about the panic post.  I got flustered and posted right away,
when I should've checked for similar threads.  Problem solved as per
the suggestions in the other threads.  Reminder to self... *NEVER*,
*EVER* unmerge coreutils.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT Best font selection?

2008-04-17 Thread darren kirby
quoth the Gustavo Campos:
 That's not free, that's M$ stuff, but I'd suggest you to take a look,
 just take a look, at Segoe UI fonts.

Well, it's included in portage, and I paid $0 for it so..
Besides, the OP mentioned no requirement that the font must be 'free'.

I was simply stating what I use because I think it looks good.

Is Segoe UI really in Portage? At the last time I emerged corefonts it
wasn't present, so I had to find it on the web =)

And by free, I meant the really free free, you know =)

Damn good IMHO!

I dunno, I was talking about the Vera Sans. I was going to look for Segoe 
later. Thanks for the tip on terminus as well. I haver just tried it in my 
konsole and it looks great.

Yeah, I know ;)

Openrc requires sys-fs/udev-118-r2. As far as i know udev-120 is 
going to be stabilized with openrc/baselayout-2 which I use too. 
Didn't have any problems so far!

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. Tried it yesterday in the IRC, but 
they only could quote what's beneath the ebuild.


Thanks,
