Re: [gentoo-user] next step X
cfk, Did you manually compile your kernel, or use genkernel? It seems that your eth0 is not properly configured. If you compiled your kernel manually, make sure you added your network card driver. If you used genkernel, are you starting coldplug/hotplug at boot? Another possibility is that you didn't configure your network correctly. Did you set up /etc/conf.d/net and add net.eth0 to default runlevel? --Josh Hunholz cfk wrote: On Wednesday 11 May 2005 17:11, cfk wrote: Gentlemen: I have my stage 3 gentoo system booting after a little resolv.conf issue earlier. X-Windows is next. I tried emerge kde and emerge xorg-x11, but both of them stop fairly quickly saying: Couldn't download libpng-1.2.8.tar.bz2. Aborting Would anyone be willing to help me through my lack of the portable network graphics library on my new gentoo system? Charles Krinke Let me reply to my own message as I think the problem is earlier then emerge. After finishing the installation, I cannot seem to bring the eth0 interface up. When I try to manually ifconfig eth0 addr broadcast netmask up, I get a message of no such device. So, I must have foobarred another incantation along the way. It was working fine in the chroot environment an hour or so ago, so I suspect something in the last stages of the install. What are the sort of things I can do to diagnose this sort of problem. Mostly, I am questing for knowledge right now. Charles -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo guide for postfix

Well, I know I have to install courier-imap 'cause I want to use imap, and will also need to be able to add other domains to this mail server as I want. Well, I'd took a look at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml but it's a little bit confusing since I had not ever did anything like that and that guide spoke about things I not sure I need, like SSL. So, what I want is to know what I really need to make my server catch all messages incoming to the domains I'll specify at postfix configuration, and also, how to specify that? Well, the first thing to figure out is if you want to use mbox or maildir style mailboxes. Then set up your postfix main.cf config just like they show you in the virtual mail howto on Gentoo.org. Then, if you need pop or imap, emerge something like uw-imap, courier-imap, or dovecot to handle that. The configuration is quite easy. Search the forums, as I know there are some good hints on there as well. --Josh Hunholz Tks in advice, Claudinei Matos -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
