Comments:
<0> RasQule1: I thought I had
<0> RasQule1: Anyway to find out -if- I set the right things?
<1> did you have a list of all hardware parts? [chipsets and so one] a knoppix or other live cd's dmesg can tell you this
<2> Kavok: it'll boot :P
<3> blackace: my thought is to backup all his data and give it a proper partitioning/format, but then again if block devices aren't supported...
<0> RasQule1: I built this machine, I know whats in it, don't really need a list. :p
<1> what temp monitoring chip does the mobo use then ? :P
<3> blackace: but i'm a noob when it comes to this junk, what do you think?
<4> im tring to found the logs from vmware-workstation from emerge, where can i found them?
<0> RasQule1: The l33t 700.
<1> grub installing with emerge works it seems
<1> pish kavok, thats what you need to know to config a kernel
<0> I can name the 'parts' off the top of my head, but not the parts IN the parts
<2> RasQule1: wel... the temp monitor is fairly low on the list of stuff you *must* know
<1> Kavok: I know, but it was an example to prove a point. you need chip infos
<5> nate_: yeah
<6> chipsets on the mobo, on the video card, nic and so on
<1> thats why I said use a live cd and get the dmesg
<0> If a knoppix CD can tell me whats in my computer then why can't it also configure/setup itself o.O
<1> hm? what do you mean?
<5> _mist_: that's very strange then...the best suggestion I have for you then is to plug it into a windows system, copy the data off, then plug it back into your linux system, run fdisk on it, delete all the partitions, and make one type 'c' partition on it, and mkdosfs -F 32 on it, then copy your data back onto it.
<3> _mist_: what he said, more or less
<7> RasQule1: I think he's saying that he would rather be using his computer than configuring a kernel... (Gentoo not for the faint of heart and all) ;)
<0> Phnix: Faint of heart isn't the word.
<8> hello, does one of you run xorg on an Geforce 6800GT?
<0> Phnix: "Gentoo - Have patience"
<0> That should be on the front page
<1> Knoppix /can/ setup and config its self. thats the point.
<1> But its a CD booting only [mostly] distro
<2> DJ-Marcuzz: anyone with an nVidia card should be able to help you out, the driver set up is much the same no matter what specific chip you have
<9> gentoo can confiure itself too, take a look at the livecd ;)
<10> i understood some things , but not all of them , but i dont have windows system installed here on my pc , so i guess i gotta grab some friends pc and then copy the data from it
<11> the gentoo livecd does that fine...
<7> Kavok: That's true, but the rewards are very large... their such... hard to see when you've been staring at an ugly prompt for two days ;)
<1> brianw: thats why I originally said "or other live cd"
<12> meh maybe not the right place to ask but does anyone know how I can disable the windows activation screen from linux? I cannot do anything on windows as for some reason it does not allow to me to login at all due to this problem
<8> LSD`, i was looking for the quick way out, i just installed xorg and kde, but there is no xorg.conf yet, so maybe someone would like to post his on pastebin ? (A)
<0> Phnix: I've gone through the damned handbook install atleast 3-4 times in the past 48hrs
<0> I was trying to sleep for cl*** this morning
<0> However I heard my computer stop being busy (fans lowered)
<0> and woke up
<0> :-\
<2> DJ-Marcuzz: X -configure (or something like that) should be enough to get you running
<1> lamex, try activating windows ;)
<3> _mist_: yeah, just burn it all on a cd from a friend's computer then just come here and h***le us on how to partition the flash drive and format it
<0> X -configure didn't work for me ;_;
<2> Lamex: once you've done that, find and make a backup of the wpa.dbl file ;)
<12> RasQule1: lost the cd...
<10> alright :) thx nate and blackace for your help :)
<1> dont need it to activate
<5> Lamex: yeah, really not the best place to ask as byp***ing it would likely be illegal since you probably agreed not to when you bought the computer or tored open the CD sleeve..
<1> but thats not a topic for here
<7> Kavok: Well, if you're in a real rush to get kde up, you could always write a quick script that just does an "emerge --resume --skip-first" whenever a kde dependency fails... that could still leave things very broken though if you don't know what it's skipping
<8> does someone know the real x configure command?
<0> Phnix: You mind if I email you test and test2?
<2> DJ-Marcuzz: there are several
<9> DJ-Marcuzz: xorgconfig?
<5> DJ-Marcuzz: X -configure? xorgconfig? xorgcfg?
<0> Phnix: Whenever test2 breaks that is
<3> _mist_: by the way, partition means to divide a drive into separate sections of storage, and in this case just one section. and to format means to prepare that partition for file storage using a specific format (FAT32, EXT3, NTFS, ReiserFS, etc)
<2> xorgconfig is nice, try that >:)
<12> blackace: google not really helping.. for some reason I always get strange annoying problems in windows.. and I have no idea where to look for help.. google is not really helping
<5> Lamex: well #gentoo is not the right place.
<12> yupz got it
<7> Please do, I'll message you my e-mail addy
<13> Hi all
<10> oh k , got it , but as i am new here in linux so dunno how to do it from CLI
<3> _mist_: if the operating system can't read the partition table, which tells it how the drive is divided up, it can't read the drive
<0> ATleast irssi is growing on me
<3> _mist_: ok
<1> wee time to reboot the lappy
<1> luck?
<8> ./dev/mice, was that for those usb logitech mouses or /dev/mouse?
<14> folks: I'm about to emerge gentoolkit, what do you suggest, the latest testing or the earlier stable?
<3> stable
<14> nate_: thank you
<3> unless you like playing with bleeding edge software, and can accept any breakage that may occur
<2> DJ-Marcuzz: /dev/input/mice (***uming support for it is in your kernel) handles all types of mice
<14> nate_: I usually like trying the newest ones, but gentoolkit is something "delicate" I suppose, so I asked ;)
<15> aplay wont work for me... is says "ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:819:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
<15> ", "aplay: main:544: audio open error: Device or resource busy", how can I fix this?
<16> is it XFree86 4.3
<16> version in 2006.0 LiveCD?
<17> is superkaramba still active ?
<2> Lamex: nah, probably xorg 6.8
<0> "*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000000666b30 *** <-- w***at?
<18> kristalino: if so, then need to get more active and fix the bloody thing
<16> Xorg 6.8?
<9> xfree86 was removed from gentoo and replaced with xorg because auf licence, it's allmost identical
<5> xorg is newer and very actively developed though
<2> bluebird__: the licencing issues weren't all that bad, it was just a smoke screen to fork xfree because the development pace wasn't fast enough
<15> aplay wont work for me... is says "ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:819:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
<15> ", "aplay: main:544: audio open error: Device or resource busy", how can I fix this?
<2> swooshonln: anything else trying to play sound?
<2> swooshonln: you're not on KDE with arts are you?
<18> kristalino: it's something that really could be cool, but it seems mostly broken to me
<15> LSD`, im playign sound with amarok, and pretty much everything else, no GNOME
<5> LSD`: actually the new xfree86 license would've interfered with redistribution for gentoo
<17> Garibaldi, to me too
<19> i have 768 mb of ram installed, but torsmo says that i only have 501 mb. how can i check how much ram gentoo is finding?
<2> swooshonln: playing sound with amarok at the same time you're trying to use aplay?
<15> LSD`, yeah
<20> chibi_killstick, cat /prov/meminfo
<2> swooshonln: try quitting amarok ;)
<20> s/prov/proc
<15> LSD`, well... isnt that the point of a software mixer? I just want to p*** the aplay command to gaim for when I get messages
<19> richiefrich, interesting. it says that i only have 512...do i have to enable something to get more ram, or does this mean that one of my ram ports is busted?
<19> richiefrich, my computer has two slots for ram. it used to be two modules of 256, but i just installed a 512 module in one of the slots
<21> anyone could help me with openVPN (well a general vpn/networking question)? in #openvpn noone answers ....
<20> chibi_killstick, on boot through grub u can run --> memtet it someting like that let me find it
<19> richiefrich, so now i have 768 mb, and another 512 module is in the mail, so soon i'll have 1 gb
<22> chibi_killstick, you probably just dont have highmem enabled in your kernel
<19> Skrot, ok...let me check
<2> Skrot: you shouldn't need highmem with <1GB
<22> LSD`, hm yeah good point... the cutoff is around 800mb isnt it
<2> chibi_killstick: enable it anyway though, it'll bite you on the bum when you get that second 512MB stick
<23> yall someone found aphp hole and broke into my server,,,,smart devils,,.
<14> I've seen that there's Alias (Autodesk) Maya in the ebuilds... given that it's a 8k dollars software and I suppose you won't compile it on your machine, what's the advantage of having such an ebuild? (It obviously ask for the CD to go on with installation)
<2> Ridley: consistency
<20> chibi_killstick, add these line to grub.conf --> title Memory Test --> root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/memtest86+.bin
<19> LSD`, i just find it weird that it would deny me a full 768 mb when the config doesn't mention that i need high mem support for it
<19> richiefrich, thanks, i'll put that in too
<20> chibi_killstick, i think thats it
<20> chibi_killstick, ask in here to make sure.. :)
<2> chibi_killstick: whether or not you have highmem enabled shouldn't cause you any grief until you get to 1GB
<11> no need for the root line there
<14> LSD`: you mean no speed improvements, but just the possibility to quick install by typing emerge?
<19> LSD`, then i wonder why torsmo and /proc/meminfo would tell me that i only have 512 mb installed...
<20> brianw, it that right?
<11> well you explicitly reference it in the kernel line...
<20> brianw, so i dont need too
<11> richiefrich: i never do...
<20> brianw, so then just memtest86+.bin and a title ?
<24> too many people here
<25> >>> emerge (3 of 3) x11-misc/bbacpi-0.1.5 to /
<25> !!! Security Violation: A file exists that is not in the manifest.
<25> !!! File: files/digest-bbacpi-0.1.3
<24> like my state, too much
<11> title Gentoo Linux (2.6.15-gentoo-r1) home-wifi runlevel
<11> kernel (hd0,1)/boot/2.6.15-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/hda2 elevator=cfq softlevel=home-wifi
<11> richiefrich:
<20> thanks
<19> richiefrich, either use root (hd0,0) or kernel (hd0,0)
<24> brianw: what does elevator=cfq do?
<19> brian, what does home-wifi and runlevel do?
<11> sets default i/o scheduler. which is not needed anymore w/ these new kernels :)
<24> chibi_killstick: runlevel is in the title
<19> geckosenator, oh, my bad
<2> Ridley: letting portage handle it eliminates the possibility of an external installer doing something it shouldn't
<24> LSD`: do you use lsd?
<11> runlevel= is used to boot to a specific runlevel. default is used normally
