<0> ah i see
<1> no gaming will be done, but i like native res
<0> i know... but ATi is difficult to get linus working on correct?
<0> *linux
<2> ah hah
<2> i think i found what i needed...
<2> iamben: emerge lrmi
<3> ATI: Canadian ****s that are mentally retarded when it comes to drivers, especially on Linux.
<2> run vbetest
<0> lol
<0> too bad AMD is best buds with them now :(
<0> I have AMD + Nvidia
<3> AMD + ATI now?
<0> uh yeah.... months ago
<0> AMD bought ATi
<3> hahaha oh man
<0> :(
<0> horrible idea
<3> I haven't been "up on things" since I built my 2000+ AMD
<3> All I know is **** is weird now.
<3> SLI, Dual Core, 64 bit. So hectic.
<0> AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ & nVidia 7800GTX
<3> No idea what I willl buy for a next system.
<0> for me^
<1> m6: is this for fb stuff?
<1> TBird: im on 4200+ & 7900GS
<3> For *nix box TBird?
<0> nVidia gfx makes it ~100x easier to install Linux
<0> mawst?
<0> nix box?
<0> wtf?
<3> For linux?
<2> iamben: yup
<0> idk what you mean
<3> See there's no real point in 64 bit in windows yet is there?
<0> iamben: cool
<0> mawst... no unless you like screwing around with retarded drivers
<0> >_<
<0> these x64 driver > ATi drivers for Linux as far as retardedness
<0> I have always thought AMD > Intel because AMD doesn't kill itself on heat
<0> ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<1> how the times have changed
<1> TBird: surely YOU remember the tbird 1.4
<0> iamben or m6 can you help me maybe?
<4> /dev/dvd*
<0> you mean the throughbred?
<0> AMD proc
<0> ?
<1> thunderbird
<0> processor?^
<1> the last athlon before athlon-xp
<0> yes
<0> iamben can you help me
<0> ?
<1> the highest one, 1.4ghz, probalby the hottest cpu ever at the time
<2> TBird: whats up?
<1> TBird: if you can be helped, we can probably do it
<0> lol iamben .... ever tried OC'ing a P4?
<2> aCk
<0> well I just tried the install again... same error... couldnt set root p***word
<0> :(
<0> why does it keep failing?
<4> someone help me!?
<4> :\
<2> whats it failing on?
<0> "Failure to set root p***word"
<2> TBird: are you using the GUI?
<0> yes
<2> http://www.gentoo-install.com
<0> I cant use anything else
<2> gui = crap
<2> TBird: yes you can =)
<0> I only have the LiveCD
<2> TBird: thats fine
<0> no I mean it isnt usable on the Live CD
<1> TBird: you have to type the same p***word twice to confirm!
<2> heh
<2> brb...testin out the new FB
<0> I know iamben..... it said that it had confirmed it while I was prepping the install
<0> I had entered it twice
<0> and it said they matched
<0> so I thought I was set
<0> lol look at this line from the log:
<0> "Exception received during 'Set the root p***word': SetRootP***wordError :FATAL: set_root_p***word: Failure to set root p***word!
<0> "
<4> hmm
<4> i feel better
<0> it says the same thing ~4 times
<1> yet another gli glitch
<0> any ideas iamben?
<1> no idea, i dont use the installer
<1> is this at the very end of the install, so everything else was successful?
<0> no I used the COmmand prompt too... and it gave the same error
<0> well iamben... it had just finished Portage
<0> I think that is pretty far
<5> TBird: u trying to use gui installer ?
<0> >_< deface.... I know I know it sux
<0> I know I should use the command line
<0> they have been telling me that for ~1 hour now
<5> TBird: d/l knoppix, then use www.gentoo-install.com
<0> y?
<5> you'll be up & running in no time
<1> you typed "p***wd" from cli and it gave you that error?
<5> or continue to bang ur head against the desk
<0> I am not doing this because I need Linux
<0> This is jff
<0> iambe: yes in the demented way the weird wizard in the command line interface made me do it
<1> you are just talking about the cli installer
<1> we are talking about a manual install from cli
<1> no installer
<0> well then no...
<0> I dont have a minimal install disk
<1> you can do a manual install from the livecd
<0> no....
<1> no?
<1> what the **** do you know? =)
<0> There is a 'command line' option
<0> but it still uses a weird wizard
<1> you can still drop to a terminal and do a manual install, i promise
<0> it wont just give me a real command line... I know how to use them it just wont give me one
<0> uh.... ok
<1> ctrl alt f1?
<0> ill try
<1> when you get to vt1, i'd use "p***wd" right away to change the p***word for root, then alt f7 back to X, open an xterm, su to root, use your new p***word, then start the install from xterm right
<1> there
<1> you can even follow the handbook on that machine
<2> eh
<2> better i guess
<2> i can't get it to do 1680x1050
<2> hm.
<2> yea you can do the min install from the live cd.....
<2> chroot and poof
<2> i dunno.
<2> i didn't even install my system
<2> i had hamsters do it
<1> i got a higher res w/ video=vesafb:1280x800-32@60,mtrr,ywrap ... i dont think its 1280x800 though, since its still fuzzy as hell
<1> i know what a crisp (native res) fb looks like and this is not it
<1> im not sure how to interpret the kernel vesafb output to tell which res it's using
<0> um well that sukt
<1> can vbetool or anything else tell me which res is running on fb?
<6> yesh
<6> this show wrocks
<6> thnx tbird
