<0> Obsidian: what's the video that failed to scan
<1> and i had a couple of weeks of video =)
<2> I KNOW ! gonna use the electricsheep screensaver as my desktop background
<2> oh myyyyyyyyyy
<3> sup all
<4> trying to think of a good help system built using html and JS
<4> how bout you?
<2> playing with xgl
<4> anyone know of a good html help system they have seen on a website?
<4> any website is fine
<5> >>> Updating Portage cache: 88%!!! Cannot resolve a virtual package name to an ebuild.
<5> !!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/ghostscript-0)
<5> should i jsut try again?
<4> cant hurt
<6> RageDemon: a gzipped file
<6> RageDemon: anything that has a length of 0 i deem bad
<7> i need help
<6> thrasher7: plesk
<4> hmmm ok
<4> i'll take a look
<7> um is there a dif server for help? chat?
<4> Obsidian: i was hoping for more of an inline help system
<6> ?
<4> XB0XERS: you could try the freenet channel but this is just as good
<4> Obsidian: well the plesk help seems to be separate help pages i thinkk
<4> unless i'm looking at the wrong page
<6> plesk is a full on control panel application
<6> kinda like cpanel but a ton better
<4> oh yeah i know i'm on the page now
<4> looking at the demo
<4> the help system is decent
<8> do i really need USE= flags
<4> however i kinda want to implement an inline help system
<4> WebDawg: need no, want yes
<4> use flags allow you to implement options into programs
<6> WebDawg: USE flags are what make gentoo beautiful
<3> emerge world upgrades GCC too or no ?
<6> yes
<6> all new packages
<6> but world updates can be fatal, so its good to use emerge -u world as more of a guide and not an automation
<6> :P
<7> can i remove X server??
<9> yees
<7> i accidently installed both kde and x server
<9> uh
<7> is that ok
<7> i "emerged" both..
<10> kde is a window manager for x
<7> oh..
<7> well im geting some (EE) error messages
<7> when i run startx
<7> like (EE) Given depth (16) is not supported by this driver
<7> and when i run Xorg -config it cant detect my mouse
<7> ive tried compiling my kerenl like 50 times now just to get my mouse to work
<11> reads like you need to configure your xorg.conf, changing to 24-bit colour depth maybe a good start
<11> but consult the docs -> http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
<7> ive printed and read them all.. but reading a seconded time will help i guess
<11> tackle one problem at a time, persevere, use Google :)
<7> thats actually the same guide i used to install x11
<7> ya lol
<7> ok so lemme get this straight you need x server to run kde?
<11> yes
<7> ok im using genkernel -menuconfig..
<12> hey guys i just booted into the install environment. wish me luck
<11> g'luck
<11> XB0XERS: what type of mouse do you have usb or ps2 ?
<7> microsoft ps2
<12> this is gonna be a long night..
<11> to check if it's working ok, at the console do `cat /dev/psaux`, then move the mouse around
<11> you should see garbage displayed with every move of the mouse
<7> ok i just entered it in...
<7> and nothings showing up
<7> heres the mouse http://www.pricegrabber.com/user_sales_getprod.php?masterid=4204638&lot_id=3143290&mode=googleff
<11> aah yeah, fairly generic type
<7> yup.. nothing to crazy
<7> ok nothings showing up for the cat command
<7> ctr-c?
<11> yes
<7> ok should i start a new kernel.. er?
<11> check you have PS2 support compiled in Device Drivers > Input Device > Mouse > PS2
<7> ok is there an easy way of doing that.. like other than running genkernel -menuconfig all?
<11> but genkernel should handle simple hardware stuff like this transparently
<7> ok so run it?
<11> sure, just follow the guide -> http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/genkernel.xml
<7> ok i have that one printed out as well..
<7> ive tried it but ok..
<7> try again
<7> r u still ther?
<6> shiznix: oi
<6> shiznix: VB? what are you making?
<7> ok well.. im in genkernel and i have PS/2 mouse with a <M> next to it.. should i make it a <*>?
<6> XB0XERS: yeah make it a *
<6> that way its on always
<7> oh.. that the dif between * and M ?
<6> * is builtin
<6> M is module
<11> y0 Obsidian
<6> meaning you have to load the module after the kernel has started
<6> shiznix: hows it going man
<6> long time no see
<11> very well, yeah it's been a while
<7> ok i made it a <*>. it was a <M>
<6> shiznix: what are you coding
<11> been up to anything exciting ?
<7> sorry am i bothering u guys
<11> coding a Human Machine Interface in Excel for some machinery at work
<11> XB0XERS: not at all
<7> ok.. well should i exit and save?
<6> XB0XERS: its a help chan, with talk on the side ;P
<7> oh lol thats ok
<6> yeah save it and exit
<6> then run: make && make modules_install && make install
<7> btw: should i enable my ati radeon module? and pci express bus support?
<6> if you've got it
<7> well ive got a PCI-e Radeon x850xt
<7> do i put a * or a M by it?
<6> shiznix: i've been doing some C++ hacking
<6> added a nice feature to a windows musik organizer
<7> oh ya i also have a wacom tablet and xbox gamepad do i put *'s or M's by those too?
<6> you can do either
<6> all the M means is you have to explicitly load the module to turn it on
<7> oh.. so its like a performance thing it takes longer to load with a *?
<6> no, its just a matter of preference really
<7> ok
<6> all the * means is its built into the kernel so you dont have to load it manually, its always on
<7> will i mess something up if i put a * by the wrong thing..
<6> nope
<6> unless you turn on something thats incompatible with your hardware and it doesn't like to be on :P
<7> ok so i have a amd64 3800+ do i select AMD-Opteron/Athlon64 or Generic -x86-64 for the family proccesor?
<7> ok im doing the AMD-Opteron/Athlon64..
<7> ok its compiling now..
<7> oh about my grub.conf.. when i had the video= and vga= extentions in gentoo would boot with a blank screen..
<7> it was working well before i installed bootsplash and framebuffer.. (why is that needed anyway?)
<7> ok maybe you can answer this question.. do i need to reboot after genkernel finishes..
<3> QA Notice: ECL*** 'portability' inherited illegally in .. what does this mean i see this quite often
<13> ok, i ran revdep-rebuild and found a list of .so.* files that are missing... how do i tell where they should go, and where do i get them?
<7> ok it still cant detect my mouse in Xorg -config
<6> ugh, klrspz get it together...
<6> XB0XERS: run this in the terminal and then move the mouse around: cat /dev/input/mice
<6> KlrSpz: dewd, whats up with your connection
<7> omfg when i run the cat command...
<6> crazy **** everywhere?
<7> and then move my mouse around
<7> yaaa
<6> then its working ;)
<7> really?
<6> yes
<7> ok
<6> thats raw mouse output
<7> so how come Xorg cant detect it?
