Re: [gentoo-user] Re: /dev/cdrom has gone!

2005-09-05 Thread danielhf
thanks to all...

i finally get the cdrom work, not perfectly though, i change
the BIOS setting that use S-ATA only instead and keep P-ATA
enabled, which makes cdrom the primary 1st, the sata drive 
recognized as primary third. (i hate such layout !! i prefer 
the hard disk to be the primary first and recognized as hda).

at last, the sata drive was recognized as sda, so that's the
whole story, 

now i'm wondering what on earth are the changes made with those
BIOS settings, and how it affect the kernel? (because whatever i
configure, the M$ Windows just works perfectly). 

i would not think the problem solved already, i'll take a look at
this later.

thanks again.

now, maybe i can say it's a problem of detecting my driver for sure?

there have been a lot of problems around since i use a SATA hard drive,
and a common ATA cdrom, i spent a lot of time to find out the right CMOS
configuration:

P-ATA only | S-ATA only | P-ATA & S-ATA etc and some others. 
i use a Native Mode, so that my disk can be recognized as /dev/hdaXX
instead of /dev/sdaXX. and P-ATA only but with S-ATA enabled.

is there any advice on how to config such stuff correctly?
WindowsXP works with them just perfectly, and it's ok on my gentoo box
before the udev comes out maybe. i remember...

many thanks

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Getting problems with nVidia and OpenMosix kernel

2005-09-03 Thread danielhf
i'm not sure, i use a nvida card instead, i will recieve some error
while there is a wrong module compiled or i have two module which locate
at different path, this will occur probably when i update my driver.

for example, i emerge nvidia-kernel and it is in /lib/module/`uname
-r`/video/nvidia.ko, but when i update my driver to the one i downloaded
from nvidia.com, it is in /lib/module/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko. system will be confused. 

i'm not so experienced either, just for reference. good luck.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: /dev/cdrom has gone!

2005-09-03 Thread danielhf
i did read that document, to find the doc is trivial.

what i got is just similar. the udev just create the device
files which were detected by kernel, and handle the operations
like add or remove dynamically. i tried this feature with my usb
devices already, i really like the way udev works. i could not found
any info from the output of dmesg, so i think perhaps there is a problem
on detecting the device, but not the problem of udev.

thanks

my BIOS infomation shows my cdrom is at the third IDE primary,
so i do:
mknod -m 660 hde b 33 0

and later i tried
mknod -m 660 hdc b 23 0

the output:
hdc is not a valid block device

no luck. hde failed either, i give it up. ;-(

[gentoo-user] /dev/cdrom has gone!

2005-09-03 Thread danielhf
i upgrade my system to use udev instead of previously known 
devfs, and leave the devfs option blank while configure the 
kernel, but recently, i found i could not mount my cdrom, 
there is no such device at all! the /dev/cdrom and the like has
gone! 
  
i test with my usb disk, and the /dev/ directory could add and 
remove the sda1 device node accordingly, it seems that everything
goes well. but where is my cdrom?

i have changed the /etc/conf.d/rc, and replace
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes" with
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no"  several days ago,
because i think that'll be ok for me, and everything seems working
with the exception of the cdrom i found today! 

the rule file under the etc/udev/rules.d/ makes no sense to me,

any ideas please, thanks a lot.

Re: [gentoo-user] Getting problems with nVidia and OpenMosix kernel

2005-09-03 Thread danielhf
i have got the same problem while installing the nvidia-kernel within
portage tree on my 2.6.12-5 kernel. 

i solved it by commenting the line
---> Load "glx" 
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

i recommend downloading the latest driver xxx.run from nvidia.com and
compile a module for your kernel. it worked for me, just for your
reference. ;-)

  seems that nobody likes FVWM, i dont like to try a lot of things, 
most of WMs mentioned here are not used )-:
Gnome and KDE are OK and used to be my faviorate desktops, however,
they are just too good for  me, ;-) i would like one which is lightweight
and can be fully controlled. i know there must be a lot of excellent WM
around, i just give FVWM a try and stick to it afterwards, i configured
a taskbar, a clock, some menus and nothing more. it's perfect!

thanks again. i use "umask=022" that solved the problem perfectly.
just write down the permission you want, eg. 755, then 777 minus
755, the result is right the value for the "umask".

hope it's a useful tip for beginners like me :-)

[gentoo-user] how to access mounted dir with non-root?

2005-08-12 Thread danielhf
i've found that i could not access the mounted 
directory with non-root users. 
1. i "chown" directories under "/mnt" to the user,
   but so long as i mount, the permission of the 
   specific dir will be changed to "drwx--" and
   owner changed to root automatically.
2. i try to use a mount option "users",
   $> mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/win -o rw,users
   no luck somehow as well.
3. i would not use "sudo" to do this, i believe there is 
   a way to solve the problem. and not sure "sudo" will work.

any ideas about this? thanks a lot in advance

best regards
daniel

[gentoo-user] what's new with all those new packages?

2005-07-11 Thread danielhf
portage reminds me of updating packages frequently,
i have to decide what to update, and if it's worth downloading?

is there a easy way to see "what's new" of those packages to be
updated? the ChangeLog within /usr/portage/xxx-xxx/ make no sense to me.

thanks.

regards 
daniel..

[gentoo-user] problem running qalculate (a calculator)

2005-07-06 Thread danielhf
is anybody using qalculator (the calculator) on gentoo?

thay are masked by the keywords, so i added the packages in my package.keyword,
and they where emerged as normal then. 

however, so long as i run qalc or qalculate, it complains that
it could not load global definitions from
"/var/tmp/portage/libqalculate/", i know that's a temp dir,
and all files there will be removed after emerge, but i could do 
nothing about it, it seems the path is not configurable.

i know the real files are in /usr/share/qalculate. 

any ideas about changing the path to the correct one?

thanks a log

regards

i have added the "BSD accounting support" to my kernel,
and the accton & lastcomm now runs ok. but the output is in
quite a mess, it seems that the acct does not make records 
in the way i assumed, 

root> lastcomm --user root
??  root ?? 2.07 secs Thu Jan  1 08:03
??  root ?? 0.00 secs Thu Jan  1 08:16
??  root ?? 0.00 secs Thu Jan  1 08:16

i could not understand the question marks there, and the format does not
match desctiption in the lastcomm man page. 

anyone ever used it before ? or any ideas about it ?

thanks, 
best regards

try not use root to login, or to login with xdm, and run
gdmconfig (must be root) to check whether there are options

thanks to all for your help. 

the "links2 -g -driver fb" works.

i tried "links2 -g" before, but it stops responding. 
the -driver option is not mentioned in the man page.
so...  there might be tips somewhere i dont know.. 

thanks again
