Re: [gentoo-user] laptop screen goes dark in boot
Please try to deactivate everything related to framebuffer and specific video hardware in your kernel config. See if it helps, then activate one option at a time until it breaks again. Specifically: CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING=y CONFIG_FB_VESA=y CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y The only thing you really need for the start is CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE. Hope this helps, Florian Philipp P.S.: Please don't top-post in the future. Use an email client that allows you to write your response below the text you quote. That makes large threads easier to read.

[gentoo-user] lilo 'duplicate volume id' issue after attaching esata enclosure
The subject line pretty much says it all. I've been happily using lilo to boot from my internal 4-disk sata array (md, raid 1) for a while now and I recently bought an external sata enclosure. I cabled it up to my machine, added 4 disks I had sitting around, and on boot, lilo throws a 'duplicate vol-id detected' error and halts... I did a bunch of googling, and it looks like if I could just get booted, running 'lilo' would actually fix the problem, but I can't get lilo booted past this error.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to find the MAC address

Hi there!
How am I supposed to find the MAC address of an ethernet interface? I used
to call ifconfig and grep for HWaddr, but this does not work any more.
I found the 'old-output' USE flag for sys-apps/net-tools, which brings
back the old behaviour in order not to break old scripts, but I'd like to
know what the new method is that scripts should use.

[...] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [...] Kernel modules: i915 Ok, so you're using an Intel graphics chipset, managed via the kernel's i915 module. According to Wikipedia, the 82915G, GV and GL models are circa 2004/2005, and so are very old. It's very possible you've encountered a regression. I had something similar happen a few years ago with my 845-based system. Unfortunately, I don't know where you should take this from here. x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel I was just poking around my /usr/portage/x11-drivers directory and I saw that my x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel version 2.17.0-r3 was installed yesterday and it thinks I should downgrade. I'm going to try downgrading. I'll let you know if it works... Or try the next higher: 2.18.0 Maybe the regression was already fixed. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

But it seems that the --depclean is a dangerous operate ??
I've built a script called autodepclean that runs --pretend --depclean
and filters the output to a separate script file cleanscript. You can
run autodepclean as a regular user, but cleanscript has to be run as
root. Here is how I use it...
1) Run autodepclean. It takes approximately 30 seconds on my machine.
2) Look at cleanscript with a text-editor, and delete lines that remove
programs you want to keep.
3) Run cleanscript as root. It automatically runs revdep-rebuild at
the end.
Note that nano is no longer a system requirement. If you want the
nano editor, you need to include it in world. I.e. emerge nano.
The autodepclean script is attached to this post.

My client - which is probably not so superior - has this option, but it can only be applied globally, not to individual folders or senders. Some senders - surely those with expensive design teams dedicated to the task - ensure that their HTML messages add something useful over the plain text version. Amazon's HTML emails show images of the product and I have no problem with the text size they use. The HTML notification emails from eBay are *fantastic*, showing images of actual items newly listed (in the last 24 hours) by vendors that happen to meet my search criteria - this is a *very* useful way of navigating potential bargains (and avoiding misleading adverts). There must be 10,000 items per day listed on eBay, maybe 100,000, and I am notified of the dozen or so that I may be interested in - with pictures right next to the description. So I have to either tolerate Peter's choice of font size, or I have to sacrifice being able to read these other messages in their optimum format. Now I appreciate that my choice of email client is not anyone else's fault, but plain-text is the standard of mailing lists, and I think it's a reasonable expectation that people conform to it (once their client's faux-pas has been pointed out).

I did a bunch of googling, and it looks like if I could just get booted, running 'lilo' would actually fix the problem, but I can't get lilo booted past this error. The LILO source code contains a diagnostics diskette that you can build, maybe it can be of some assistance. It has been over a decade since the last time I saw LILO so I'm unfortunately no help beyond this bit of trivia. Ideas on how I can fix/remove the vol-id from the external disks?
