Re: [gentoo-user] Configuring proftpd

Since proftpd is just a dependency of gproftpd, there's no reason to unmerge proftpd first. Just emerge gproftpd if you want to give it a try. Nick On Mon, 24 Jan 2005 01:15:13 +0200, PK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > IF you use x then > > unemerge proftpd and emerge gproftpd > > Its a gui for

Hi all, unable to solve a problem with emerging xfce4, please forgive me for consulting this kind list. Last week an emerge -uvDa --newuse world upgraded xfce4 from xfce-4.0.6 to 4.2 and it worked fine. Now, another emerge -uvDa --newuse world gives me: [blocks B ] xfce-base/xfce4-base (from

IF you use x then unemerge proftpd and emerge gproftpd Its a gui for proftpd and you can configure it quite easily. It will emerge proftpd at the same time. Cheers Paul Joseph A. Nagy, Jr. wrote: I have two configuration problems. One, the /etc/init.d/proftpd start-stop script only errors (e.g. [

Re: [gentoo-user] build error with ttmkfdir

If you do an "emerge -u system" and libtools is already at the most current version, it's not going to recompile. Try just an "emerge libtool && emerge ttmkfdir". I had the same problem and this resolved it. Nick On Sun, 23 Jan 2005 17:58:40 -0500 (EST), Nicholas Paul Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED

I have a flopply-less system. I know, that I can, boot of a LiveCD and by doing all the right things, get access to my system. But, since my system is LVM based, it is a real pain to do so. Is there any tool available that will *easily* build me a boot/recovery CD based on my current system?

No. If you have no .config file you just copy it from another kernel directory and then run make oldconfig. If you have one already you can back it up if you want otherwise it won't make a difference. On Sun, 23 Jan 2005, Francisco Ares wrote: > AFAIK, you have to rename your old ".config"

antoine, if your GENTOO_MIRRORS was set by mirrorselect then it may have mistakenly included ipv6 mirros that aren't really available to you. I recommend commenting out that line and seeing if the default settings work. if you want a close mirror discuss it with other gentooers who are physically/
