[gentoo-user] Can't log into KDE desktop
Finally, finally I have the Xorg-server worked correctly and installde KDE Meta. I wanna say it is so difficult to have done these ! Now , I can start KDE, but after I input username and password, it only showed a panel with four icons( I think you guys who use KDE will see this everytime when KDE starts), then it did not show the desktop. Here is my kdm.log: Note that your system uses syslog. All of kdm's internally generated messages (i.e., not from libraries and external programs/scripts it uses) go to the daemon.* syslog facility; check your syslog configuration to find out to which file(s) it is logged.

Re:Re: [gentoo-user] Who can tell me relationship among dri,glx,mesa,xorg?
libglx can also be provided by driver packages. You can select the xorg one or others via eselect; proxy adam # eselect opengl list Available OpenGL implementations: [1] ati * [2] xorg-x11 Also, I imagine those kernel options supply an interface for the DRM/DRI driver. Thank you very much ! I think I worked it out :)

Re:Re: [gentoo-user] Can't build firmware into kernel
See if you can access it using ssh from another PC. Then check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any error messages. -- I have checked my Xorg.0.log, there is no error message. I have a question,I read xorg.conf , I didn't find any area about Window Manage, so how xorg-server knowswhich WM to invoke when I use X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?BTW, among my class I am the only one who uses Linux, so it's impossible to use ssh.
Re:Re: [gentoo-user] Can't build firmware into kernel
No it's the gpu family. Did you look at this link on James' page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units Above each table it tells you which RXXX you should use, if your card is listed below. Oh, I should use RV710, that is really a long distance from R600/R700.So should I add RV710_rlc.bin into External firmware blobs ?

[gentoo-user] Can't build firmware into kernel
I'm being working out with building KDE environment recently. Now I need installing Xorg first. As the The X Server Configuration HOWTO says, if I use radeon card ,then I need emerge radeon-ucode or linux-firmware package. Then I need rebuild my kernel with External firmware blobs . My video card belongs to radeon 4000 series, so I should add radeon/R600_rlc.bin radeon/R700_rlc.bin as it says into External firmware blobs . But when I make, it says that it can't find files that I specific.. Can anyone help?

Re:Re: [gentoo-user] Cannot start up KDE desktop Environment
It seems that you have not installed the correct drivers for your card and/or have not defined these correctly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if indeed you have created such a file (it may not be necessary to create it unless there is a particular configuration need for your hardware). I suggest you go back to the Gentoo instructions on how to install Xorg and retrace your steps. I have already read it , it's not complicated just few steps to follow. I just don'tknow where the problem is.

Actually the subject is not correct . The emails I sent before were writtern on a web page , not on linux system , because I haven't install a KDE desktop which means I only can work under linux terminal. So whenever I want to write a email I have to reboot my computer and boot the windows system. I'm thinking that if I can send or receive mails just under terminal, no need web pages or windows. Also at the same time could I send mails though the mail server what I use right now under terminal?

Well, there's more than one ways to achieve the same result. You can continue to use a webmail account with a text mode web browser. There are a few to choose from - some will work better than others: www-client/elinks www-client/links www-client/lynx Ha , the language I use is Chinese ,although I can install some kinds of software to show Chinese under console I wouldn't like do it . Alternatively, you can use a mail client from within a console or an X terminal like: mail-client/mutt mail-client/alpine mail-client/pine Most of these require that you learn their respective key-binding commands, but have extensive documentation. mutt is probably used more widely these days and there are a few users in this M/L familiar with it. So I think I should read documentation about mutt. Thank you very much !
Re:Re: [gentoo-user] Can I send email under linux terminal?
Take a look at mail-client/mutt. http://wiki.mutt.org/index.cgi?MuttGuide Regards, Florian Philipp Thanks a lot , I will try it out.
[gentoo-user] How to install music player without graphic ?
I added USE=-KDE to /etc/make.conf , but when I use emerge like below : # sudo emerge mplayer OR #sudo emerge amorok I found that the emerge always download something which contact with X11/lib . I don't know why the USE I set have no effect. I only want to listem music under console , no more fuither , so how to figure this out ?
Re:Re: [gentoo-user] How to install music player without graphic ?
Try installing mpg123 Ha, I think I'd better solve this problem first Thank you all the same :-)
Re:[gentoo-user] Re: How to install music player without graphic ?
Well, these are X applications (and Amarok is a KDE application.) Obviously they need X to work. USE flags are there to configure *optional* dependencies and behaviors. For mplayer and Amarok, these dependencies are not optional. As others mentioned, you should install a command line player. There are a few. mpg123 is not really a media player though. You might want to look at this: http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/04/several-powerful-console-music-players.html Thank you ! No wonder it didn't work . Maybe I indeed need to install a KDE desktop .

I remember once when I used Federa , I also installed mplayer from source code . Mplayer afforded an option looked like --without-graphic , Then I could use mplayer under console and it didn't contact with graphical desktop. It seems that documentation about mplayer is needed .

If you're new to building kernel, it will take some time to learn what modules you need what options you should enable, etc. You're building gentoo on some host Linux os, so you can use that os's lsmod utility to know what modules you require. Also, if some modules may be compiled right into the kernel you may not be able to see them in the lsmod produces, instead use lspci -v for that. One important thing I learnt the hard way while building gentoo for a server- Always compile the critical modules like disk controllers, RAID, also don't forget to use RAID autodetection if you're not going to use an initramfs and filesystems (involved at boot) statically. While citing my experience about building gentoo on a server, you have to do the things invisibly, so you can't see what the kernel emits befor panic. It turned out that I'd disabled RAID autodetection and wasn't using an initramfs either (which will load the arrays using mdadm). -- Nilesh Govindarajan http://nileshgr.com

[gentoo-user] Why grub can't load win kernel
The configuration of win kernel in grub.conf is like below: rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 It worked yesterday , but after I rebuilding grub software, it can't work. I don't know why, it still can boot gentoo kernel, I am confused,because grub only can do operations to MBR, it can not influence contents on windows partition. I also tried boot manually in grub command interface, but after showing load stage2 it goes back to grub I'm gonna pissed. I have many important things in windows system, will someone figure it out?
Re: [gentoo-user] Why grub can't load win kernel
Sorry, I'm a gentoo newcomer, so I am totally not familar with this OS. Does USE make sense with grub ? And in the building there is no error, I had grub-install done. Grub boot interface can show up , I can choose which OS to boot, but I couldn't boot win , what is the problem in your opinion? -- Original -- From: Alan McKinnonalan.mckin...@gmail.com; Date: Wed, Oct 5, 2011 11:39 PM To: gentoo-usergentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org; Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Why grub can't load win kernel On Wed, 5 Oct 2011 23:32:10 +0800 Lavender 448463...@qq.com wrote: The configuration of win kernel in grub.conf is like below: rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 It worked yesterday , but after I rebuilding grub software, it can't work.

What version of grub, and what options (USE flags) was grub built with? Any errors from the build of grub? (check /var/log/portage/elog) Did you run grub-install like the ebuild tells you to do at the end? -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
