Re: [gentoo-user] Completely lost regarding wifi
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: (I had some trouble posting this message the first time, so I apologize if it appears twice) Hi, last fall I spent some of my summer earnings on a ThinkPad X41 tablet, and have been loving it ever since I installed Gentoo on it. There is one thing I have not yet been able to make work, though, and that is wifi. This is probably due to a combination of my own lack of wifi-related experience and the fact that my school (the only practical place I have to use wifi) seems to use a horrendously complicated setup >.<. I have heard that others with this laptop have managed to make wifi work. I have been trying different things on and off for a few month now, but the fact is that I have very little idea of how to configure wifi, and there seems to be little documentation that I can find which is relevant to this situation. I've decided that there's little left to do except bug all of you with my problem =(. My school has some Windows/Mac setup instructions here (scroll down a bit): http://rorschach.concordia.ca/neg/remote_access/wireless/ They mention Xsupplicant in relation to Linux, but once again I find myself way out of my depth. . . lspci lists my wifi card as: 04:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05) I am using the ipw2200 module, and the wifi card shows up under iwconfig as eth1. I hope you can help, and please tell me if I should post any other info, Henk Boom Review next section, after your WiFi card be right installed: nano -w /etc/conf.d/wireless.example If you follow that instructions as well as the provided by your school, It will be so easy to you.

Surely a very similar argument applies to Gentoo users and new Linux kernels! ;-) Yeah, I know of Gentooist friends that are just so :) But remember he was killed on the mountain... A very good point indeed! I myself have recently ended up doing a complete re-installation of my Gentoo system after getting it into a bit of mess.

Re: [gentoo-user] Why can't kernel-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 see my root partition?
Due to this issue, Why someone have to upgrade his kernel from .18 to .19, there are IMPORTANT reazon to do that? I'm not computer professional, Gentoo is just a hobby for me, as well as my desktop and laptop computer and also Gentoo never stop to works without a clear reason as done by WINDOW$, I never saw a blue screen mean while I'm working in Gentoo, so I stopped to use WINDOWS last 2004, but the questions is: Why and when to UPGRADE the kernel? I stopped at 2.6.18-gentoo-r2, because each change means some things out of control, but each time there is somthing new to learn. Fortunatelly we have a very good documentation on line an also good friends in this kind of mailing list to solve any trouble. Any comments?

Thanks Carl Adams I have a Brother HL-5140, it is working fine with CUPS through SAMBA, because the machine is attached to a Windows XP PC, and I have linux in an old Toshiba Satellite 2590CDT Laptop PC. When you review the list of foomatic ready, you will see also a lot of printers ready to work with Linux using CUPS. Sigfrido -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] ext3 partition dissapeared :(
Try fsck --help then select the options related to recovery and repair the system file at least twice, then reboot your system with "shutdown -b now" Based in my experience this occur after shutdown by power fault and not by command. The format must be fsck -p -f /dev/partition_name the flag -p will repair automatically your system and the flag -f force the revision even the file system appear like clean. Good luck!!!

On DiskB I have Linux partitions and some data partitions. On DiskA I had had 40GB NTFS (Windows) and 160GB NTFS partitions (data), but I already deleted Windows partition. So, I copied data from 160GB partition on DiskA to temporary space on DiskB, then I deleted remaining NTFS partition on DiskA and created one 200GB ext3 partition (I think so. In cfdsik I chose partition type '83 Linux') and then formatted it 'mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1'. Then I copied (moved :( ) all the data back to DiskA and everuthing was fine. It was yesterday. Today I started PC and at startup init said "Some local filesystems failed to mount". OK, in /etc/fstab I have "/dev/sdb1 /mnt/zaloha ext3 noatime 0 2" ... it seems to be good. I also tried to change ext2, but with both 'mount -a' says: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so. In /var/log/messages I found just "VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb1" :((. When I try just 'mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/zaloha', at /mnt/zaloha I have mounted that old Windows partition that I already deleted. Do you know any solution how can I get back my ext3 partition to get back my data please? And what could be cause of this problem or when I can find what is the cause? Thanks very very much. You've given lots of words, but very very little information, not even the commands you used to perform these actions. Without this info it becomes very hard to help you out.
