[gentoo-user] vmware-tools has broken lib
hi, i am using the vmware-tools that vmware workstation provided, and it has some broken libs /usr/lib64/vmware-tools/lib64/libconf/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-tiff.so - (none) /usr/lib64/vmware-tools/lib64/libconf/gtk-2.0/modules/libatk-bridge.so - (none) /usr/lib64/vmware-tools/lib64/libspi.so.0/libspi.so.0 - (none) the system seems working well, but it is really annoying seeing them every time. is there any way to resolve this? or can i tel revdep-rebuild not to check these files? -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/ http://meme.yahoo.com/davidshen84/

[gentoo-user] Grub boots to command prompt
Just did a stage 3 install following a HD crash on a new HD. The initial install went without issue and I booted from the HD normally. I then went through and installed a bunch of packages - xorg, kde, etc. I installed genkernel, compiled a custom kernel, and updated /boot/grub/menu.lst. Upon rebooting, I ended up at a grub command line. I can setup the hard drive without errors: grub root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub setup (hd0) Checking if /boot/grub/stage1 exists... yes Checking if /boot/grub/stage2 exists... yes Checking if /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 exists... yes Running embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)... 17 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+17 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst... succeeded Done. No errors, says everything's good. Reboot and I'm right back at the command line. I can do root (hd0,0) kernel = /vmlinuz-blah boot and boot into the system, so I know the system and hd0,0 is bootable. (I'm writing this message on it after doing the above.) There are three hard drives in the system. I've verified that the BIOS is set to boot from the first hard drive, which grub sees as hd0. I've also, just to test it out, setup grub on hd1 and hd2, with hd0,0 set as root. I still get the same thing. Grub package version 0.97-r9 installed. /boot is mounted to sda1, an ext2 partition. / is mounted to sda3, an ext3 partition. I'm not seeing any error messages on bootup or in grub.

[gentoo-user] Install Gentoo 64bit from 32bit running enviroment
Dear friends, I have a gentoo system running 32bit .. and I have a 30GB partition available on which I would like to install a 64bit Gentoo to test for 64bit extensions processor supports . someone could help me and tell me how to proceed with this installation from my running system without having to reboot with a livecd.

[gentoo-user] xconsole characters
Hi, Does anyone know if there's a way to configure xconsole to not display control characters (at least that's what I think it is)? Currently xconsole displays this when XDM starts: [32;01m*[0m Setting clock via the NTP client 'ntpdate' ... [A[152C [34;01m[ [32;01mok[34;01m ][0m [32;01m*[0m Starting postfix (/etc/postfix) ... [A[152C [34;01m[ [32;01mok[34;01m ][0m I've tried google but it seems my search skills are somewhat lacking... or noone else has this problem. The file where xconsole is started: /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 ... which contains this: xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed \ -exitOnFail #xterm -C -geometry 480x130-0-0 -fn fixed -title Xconsole Which doesn't really make it any clearer... I've tried to switch between xconsole and xterm but the xterm one will expand and cover the whole screen so that I can't see the login prompt... I'm running a stable system and the xdm version installed is 1.1.8, xconsole is 1.0.3-r1. Any help is very much appreciated! Merry Christmas! Peter K

Re: [gentoo-user] Install Gentoo 64bit from 32bit running enviroment
Hello. If you want to test for 64bit extensions processor support, why won't you try it in VirtualBox or VMware? I think it's better for tests than install a second system on your second partition. Much faster and easier to use virtualization, no?

No errors, says everything's good. Reboot and I'm right back at the command line. Found the issue. For some reason, the default menu.lst created with the stage 3 install had the title line commented out. When I added the new genkernel to the file, I copied and pasted, then edited the kernel line. My guess is that grub uses the title line as the flag to break between options. With both title lines commented out, it saw a single option block with multiple kernel statements. Uncommenting the title lines corrected the issue. -- The unnatural, that too is natural. - Goethe

[gentoo-user] Spellcheck not working in Kmail

But no mispelled words are marked, including nonsense strings like lakjdfh. ispell is installed. I can go to a command line and run the ispell program, which allows you to manually enter words. Correctly spelled English words get a response of OK. MIsspelled words get a response of Not Found. That seems to indicate that ispell is installed, the English dictionary is installed, and all is functioning normally.
