[gentoo-user] Cannot unsubscribe
I sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which bounced with a notice:"_Recipient_address_rejected:_User_unknown_in_local_recipient_table". Consequently, I'm still getting list mail. Not sure anyone here with a clue for the clueless, but if so . . . . Thanks. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I tried mounting a straight data disc - the gentoo package one - and it mounted fine. So, I thought maybe the problem was just with bootable discs. Trying file -s, the system froze. I rebooted. Now, I have no /dev/hdc at all and lost /dev/dsp, too. So, something's wrong with udev. It seems my entire system is crumbling. I'd commit the heresy of reinstalling if I could boot off a CD. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Gentoo penguins found eating apples.
From: http://www.neoseeker.com/news/story/5381/ Linux Boots on Intel-Based Mac Matt Horne - Thursday, February 16th, 2006 | 2:31PM (PST) Gentoo successfully run on 17" iMac Core Duo With the recent surge to find alternative means of OS software for your computer and electronic devices, the great minds over at Mactel-Linux have been successful in booting a version of Linux on the new Intel-based 17" iMac. The modified Linux kernel has been successfully run from a USB-based hard drive and loads the Gentoo distro. More information from the group will be released this weekend. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Phantom libcap?
emerge -uDvp world listed net-libs/libcap as upgrading from 0.8.3-r1 to 0.9.3. However, the Gentoo database has no such animal, but rather sys-libs/libcap. Locally, eix libcap also lists only sys-libs/libcap-1.10-r5. The net-libs "version" is not in /usr/portage/net-libs. There just doesn't appear to be a net-libs/libcap, even though emerge shows an installed version. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] emerge --oneshot vs emerge --uDvp differences
emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/python-2.3.5-r2", as directed in the GLSA, returns a download for xemacs, which I do not now or ever had installed. It is not in use flags. However, an emerge -uDvp python doesn't even mention xemacs. Any clue as to why the difference? Any problems if the --oneshot is not used? Thanks. -- Ed Jabbour -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] KDE 3.4 & disk access
I installed KDE 3.4.1 using the split ebuilds. At the kdm login screen, there is no disk activity. When logged in, however, no matter which user, the disk is constantly being accessed. top shows no unusual activity - not to my eyes, anyway. If I log into KDE 3.3, the disk is quiet. How might I discover what is running to cause the disk access? Thanks. -- Ed Jabbour -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] xine cannot find /dev/hdc
After a recent emerge -uDv system, which upgraded xine-lib, I cannot use xine to watch dvds anymore. It cannot find /dev/hdc. The output from running xine from the console is at http://rafb.net/paste/results/ac0MJP75.html. I've tried downgrading and re-emerging to no avail. I'm wondering if this is related somehow to udev, but I don't know where to look for that. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you emerged the nvidia stuff, you got the newest versions. Do you have the RIVA TNT2 by any chance? If so, portage now has 1.0.7664, which acc/to NVidia is not compatible with the TNT2. I use 7174, which works fine. This would explain why nv works, but nvidia doesn't, and also why your X used to work, but doesn't now. -- Ed Jabbour -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

There is /etc/make.profile.2005 which points to 2005.0, as well as a make.profile pointing to 2004.3. I thought that took care of things - but perhaps not.
