<0> infinee: what USE flags do you have enabled?
<0> infinee: probably xmms
<0> and gnome
<1> USE="-x" emerge bitchx
<0> ang gtk
<1> -X i mean
<0> path_: X isn't a use flag for bitchx
<2> someone is using atheros wifi card under gentoo?
<0> USE="-gnome -gtk -xmms" emerge bitchx
<3> it's ok, I would've probably installed X at some point
<4> !meta bitchx
<6> bit`: Package: net-irc/bitchx Herd: net-irc Maintainer: net-irc
<7> what are the differences between the gentoo-source and the vanilla-source
<4> !herd net-irc



<3> ok I found the file /etc/conf.d/consolefont any suggestion on a good font from /usr/share/consolefonts ? I liked the one used on livecd
<6> bit`: (net-irc) antarus, swegener
<0> yanger: gentoo-source has gentoo patches, vanilla-source is straight from Linus' xterm
<3> yanger: gentoo handbook says optimizations
<8> hi all; i'm trying to upgrade world but x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 blocks a whole mess o' stuff. should I unmerge xorg before I continue or do I risk having a broken system?
<4> YeTr2, who are you? ;)
<9> infinee: it didnt use any special font, just a higher res w/ vesafb
<3> iamben: ahh.
<10> ...
<10> I'm gona kill that script
<11> yanger, dsd (one of the maintainers) has a nice site about that: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/
<9> infinee: you need either vesafb or vesafb-tng enabled, and how you set the res depends on which one you chose
<3> iamben: so in lilo.conf change "vga=normal" to something else I guess?
<9> yeah, what res are you looking for?
<8> nm, read /topic
<12> hi, is there an option to make aterm not apper in the taskbar of kde ?
<7> so genpatches are not public?
<9> yanger: the genpatches website has a list of all the patches it includes
<0> evilbulgarian: right click it and hit remove from panel
<9> you can also just unpack the genpatches tgz and browse
<7> i see ;) guess i'll try the gentoo-sources ;)
<9> gentoo-sources is recommended unless you have a specific reason not to
<3> iamben: dunno, I'm gonna set "vga=ASK" and reboot to find out. thanks
<7> heh, i was in a hurry somewhat.. and was going to use the livecd-kernel, but i think i'll take my time..
<9> you can't use the livecd kernel, sorry
<7> i can't? but the option was there in the list
<9> in what list?
<7> gentoo installer, gtk version
<9> never used the installer, perhaps you are right
<12> dizzutch: thanks
<10> hmm
<13> is it possible to use a directory in a mounted vfat partition for /var/tmp/portage ... i dont have alot of space right now >.<
<14> I need help with Xorg. When I try to start it it says could not init fontpath element for a few lines, then says could not open default font 'fixed'
<15> when compiling dev-util/intltool-0.34.1 i get this error: checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool <- any ideas what causes this?
<16> hey all, anyone know of a user administration tool suitable for administering an entire network of users? and no i cant do it via the command line :D
<0> wth, i thought they make vmware free
<16> i need something like the active directory user inteface
<0> drzoot: NIS
<0> or LDAP
<16> yep, i know all about ldap, but I need a graphical interface for the client to use
<0> oh
<16> they refuse to use anything cli based
<0> emerge --search ldap ?
<16> ill give it a try
<17> I have a question that i hope is easy
<17> I was emerging xfce4
<17> and narrowed the problem down to one line in the output if anyone can help
<17> checking for xcomposite >= 1.0 xfixes xdamage xrender... Requested 'xcomposite >= 1.0' but version of Xcomposite is 0.2.2.2
<0> galtthedestroyer: upgrade xcompsite.. ?
<17> dizzutch: yeah I just checked and I have the latest ebuild
<0> hrmm
<17> so it must be an error in those 3 deps that request it
<0> are you running ~arch
<17> dizzutch: no stable
<18> Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory.
<18> i get this error when I try to emerge something
<18> can someone tell me how I can fix this?
<17> notx: so IS there soem kind of .config there?
<18> galtthedestroyer: nope
<0> notx: cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) /usr/src/linux/.config
<17> notx: what about in your /boot/grub



<0> notx: or go to /usr/src/linux and do "make config"
<17> notx: yeah that
<18> ok
<0> galtthedestroyer: what's the version of your xcompmgr ?
<17> dizzutch: not installed
<0> galtthedestroyer: i think that's what it's looking for
<17> dizzutch: funny you should mention that
<0> since it;s current version is 1.1.3
<17> xfce4 has it's own compositing manager
<0> that's what i thought
<0> but i wasn't sure
<17> in fact I would need to disable ti in order to use glx
<19> anybody else having problems "emerge sync"ing?
<19> I'm getting "link_stat "metadata/timestamp.chk" (in gentoo-portage) failed: No such file or directory"
<17> but I DO want to use whichever is easier :-)
<17> compositing managers that is
<17> I'm not using glx
<0> galtthedestroyer: might wanna check in #xfce, or file a bug
<17> oh cool there's an #xfce I'll go there
<0> !meta xfce4
<20> chmod +t /home/group/ what is +t ?
<6> dizzutch: Package: xfce-base/xfce4 Herd: xfce Maintainer: xfce
<4> rgreen, no, but then I'm using emerge-delta-webrsync
<17> dizzutch: woah! what!
<13> ive tried to use ln to make /var/tmp/portage to a mounted storage dir, ie /mnt/tmp, but i get unable to chown errors, ive got read/write when i mount it, its a fat partition, can i not use fat? .. any other way to make /var/tmp/portage on another partition?
<21> I'm trying to figure out how to watch dvds in gentoo
<22> Bung: you can't have it on fat32
<21> also when i stick any cd or dvd in, konquer doesnt see it
<22> fat32 doesn't support linux file permissions/ownership
<13> Garibaldi: aww, alright, thanks
<19> bit`, looks like portage is foorbar'd at the moment (at least server side). . .another source is having similar issues
<4> rgreen, ahh, I see
<0> alirght, bed time
<0> night all
<21> can anyone help on how to get dvd viewing working in gentoo, all i can find in wiki or doc is how to rip dvds, and all i want to do is watch them
<23> have you tried vlc?
<19> whiskers, without being an expert on the subject, I have been able to watch DVD's in the past by emerging mplayer with the dvd USE flag turned on
<0> !herd xfce
<6> dizzutch: (xfce) bcowan, dostrow
<21> i have mplayer but i dont think it had the dvd flag
<21> do i have to start from scratch and turn the flag on, or is there another way?
<19> whiskers, I would just rebuild it with the FLAG turned on
<21> how? :P
<19> whiskers, it's the long, but easy way around
<22> whiskers: set the flag, emerge -uDN world
<24> anyone else having emerge sync problems (server timestamp.chk issues)?
<21> Garibaldi, what does -uDN mean?
<25> hey got a question. I need to compile alsa suchly: ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel how can I p*** that to emerge? or do I have to compile from scratch
<26> hey guys Im trying to explain portage to a BSD user. is there a doc somewhere comparing ports to portage?
<27> whereami: i use ogle for dvd's :)
<27> i mean whiskers
<21> ive used mplayer in the past but i dont think had any flags on
<13> Punkcut: google
<27> whiskers: use ogle for viewing dvd's
<21> i can try that
<27> whiskers: emerge -va ogla
<27> ogle
<21> can i turn all my flags on globally?
<19> olem_omay, ogle works too. . .I'm no expert at it since I rarely watch DVD's ;)
<26> Bung : been looking havent seen anything worth linking to
<28> hi, i'm running a script that uses scp to put a file onto another server. i am using keychain to avoid having to enter the p***word, and it is working fine when i type it in but it appears that cron, even when run as my user, does not automatically use the keychain. i have the following in my .login script: http://pastebin.com/643443
<27> rgreen: the advantage of ogle is, it can dvd menus :)
<13> Punkcut: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-February/112225.html
<29> I'm having a "Gnome settings daemon restarted too many times" problem similar to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Modular_Xorg#Conflict:_GNOME_.26_evdev_driver EXCEPT i'm using xorg 6.8 and no evdev
<19> whiskers, edit your /etc/make.conf file, look for the "USE=" thingy and add "dvd" to the list
<30> gnite
<26> thanks bung. later.
<31> ok guy i emerg aircrack and so every thing when ok but how can i add it to mine tool bar for quick lunch
<21> ok rgreen, do i need to do any update-rc or something after i edit that file?
<19> whiskers, no
<32> how do I scan to see where a usb hardware is connected?
<21> ok
<19> whiskers, do an "emerge -pv mplayer" to see if the dvd flag is now turned on
<29> when i'm working at the mine I put my tools down and go to the bar to get a quick lunch (sorry)
