<0> Tman: not if you are not using wpa/wep it is not
<1> jyoungxx, actually, `uname -r` gives the verision of the currently running kernel. at the bootloader stage, no kernel is loaded, let alone a drive with the uname program.
<2> brian: so should I use wireless-tools?
<3> lol ok
<3> good point
<1> jyoungxx, :-)
<0> Tman: did you happen to install wireless tools?
<2> brianw: they happen to be installed
<0> Tman: ok
<4> Tman once you get it working, you may also want ifplugd..
<5> rn_dc: set this -> CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y line 230
<0> Tman: I would try a normal ***ociation first. just to make sure all os well. then move onto wpa_supplicant if you wish
<6> hello, i have a filesystem that i can mount as a user, but when i want to unmount it, i get: "umount: only root can unmount //sephiroth/e$ from /home/unity/Sephiroth" the relevant fstab line is: "//sephiroth/e$ /home/unity/Sephiroth smbfs rw,user,noauto,credentials=/home/unity/.credentials 0 0"
<7> hi folks, since a couple of time i got a problem with X, it shows wired text... see it here: http://misc.muh-die-kuh.de/brokenfont.png somebody knows why?
<0> unity: add the user mount option
<8> ok asdfff, ty for ur help, what does this option do ?



<0> unity: ahh nm, I see it now :)
<9> Does anyone here know a OSS for commercial hosting to monitor bandwidth, disk usage, cpu, etc?
<4> is there a file i can edit to make only manpages and other locales for my primary locale to be compiled in?
<10> How do I get konsole to start-up in user mode instead of wanting a p***word for root? tnx a million.
<11> quintin: nagios
<0> unity: what command are you using to umount it?
<12> <kernal name> single
<12> or init 1
<4> bloggsie how are you starting konsole normally?
<11> ? locale
<13> are there any news about the security issue with nethack? it's still masked
<14> http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?locale-maketext-1.10
<6> brianw: umount ~/Sephiroth
<11> !google gentoo doc locale guide
<14> http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml
<10> Click on menu item
<11> nkirc: ry that
<4> beandog hmn ok i'll try reading that again, that seemed to do the opposite of what i wanted
<11> try that ^^
<3> Zeroth405, actually I meant doing the `uname -r` when adding the text to grub not actually using the `uname -r` in the grub.conf
<15> hmm, I think nickserv is down
<0> unity: and the same user mounted it?
<11> nkirc: heh
<4> beandog i want to remove other locales, not add them for germany
<5> rn_dc: it will handle more system interrupts.. and wont disable irqs.. try it!
<11> nkirc: well you could always run localepurge
<4> i just want plain old english_us stuff .. and maybe utf8's.. grin
<4> localepurge .. ok , that sounds more like what i need
<6> brianw: yes
<16> can anyone gimme some advice for emerging the modular xorg?
<16> the first package is failing, xmodmap, a few seconds in, and i cant figure out why
<11> FuriousGeorge: try running env-update; source /etc/profile and trying again
<17> best bet is to search bugs.gentoo.org/query.cgi , see if someone ran into and solved the problem (or not)
<18> hawking, if you are on a single user system that should not be a problem afaik
<8> rn_dc. so i have just to add CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y
<8> in /boot/config right =
<8> asdfff
<5> rn_dc: the MSI = Message Signaled Interrupts.. meaning bios functions
<5> don't get interrupt confused with a pause, or delay =]
<8> i know what an interrupt is :)
<19> why do I keep getting found ".." dir in relative path: .. when I try to rsync and I have -R enabled.
<8> asdfff the kernel doesnt need to be recompiled for that ?
<5> yes..
<5> of course it does
<8> kk
<2> brianw: okay seems to work with wireless-tools, though dhcp takes a loooong time
<20> can anyone think of where the xorg default cursor font might be (which ebuild)
<4> Tman did you try ifplugd?
<2> nkirc: no, what does it do?
<4> Tman it's my favorite ebuild now.. it monitors the net. devices for connections.. like plugging in a cable, or finding an ap
<20> that'd be font-cursor-misc
<4> and then it activates them/ deactivates them
<4> so you're not sitting around typing /etc/init.d/net.ath0 restart over and over, trying to get it to load
<21> AWWWW
<20> I got Xorg 7.0 working!!! finally!!
<2> brianw: I don't know if you already saw this, but it works but dhcp takes a long time
<22> question, whats the command to restart volume groups after a reboot
<22> I always forget this
<4> naxxtor nice!
<4> naxxtor i'm getting ready to restore from a pkg since my xorg-server install failed complaining about xml parser modules :)



<23> hello :)
<22> if I can see them in vgscan but for the life of me cant remeber what I type to active them again
<24> /etc/init.d/alsasound restart I believe
<23> "badblocks /dev/hda1" gives me: hda: dma_intr: error=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error} hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 {DriveStatusError BadCRC } ide: failed opcode was: unknown
<23> what does it mean?
<25> I need some ***istance adding my dvd burner.... :-D
<26> naxxtor, The defualt cursor is in hardware - you can turn it off if you want software cursors
<21> schlupping, your drive is going bad =- back up.
<24> schlupping: I got that once - it means the harddrive sent bad data and it caught it on a redundancy check
<2> nkirc: well I plan on having my desktop just sitting in one place with an always-on wlan connection.. will it do anything for me then?
<22> no one here use LVM?
<24> schlupping: My harddrive is still fine three weeks later, and it only happened when I copied over a gig from one partition to another. But yeah, it's a good idea to backup just in case
<4> tman well ..not as much
<4> Tman but hey, if you reset your router.. it would
<26> schlupping, get smartmontools and read the drives error log. Thats often a bad sign
<2> nkirc: hehe :p
<21> Workaphobia, run an extended surface check on it and you need to backup too :P
<20> nkirc, xml parser modules ... i had something very similar to that, did you try emerging xml-parser?
<2> nkirc: thanks for the advice
<4> naxxtor no.. not yet, i'm still emerging gp***wd
<4> naxxtor i'll try xml-parser next
<20> nkirc, I filed a bug report earlier about it, i'll find it
<4> naxxtor i'm on a 299 mhz system.. so it takes me a minute to emerge :)
<24> awesome: What would you recommend? A badblocks test on my partitions?
<20> nkirc, heh, no probs
<4> naxxtor eventually i plan to get online, load firefox, and browse for general setup measures like adding emerge --sync to cron monthly
<4> naxxtor but in the meantime, :) .. i've got plenty of time at console
<21> Workaphobia, get the diagnostic cd from your HD manufacturer, theyll all have some version of an extended surface test on them
<20> nkirc, that's all very well, but you can't do it if you can't get X running ;)
<4> naxxtor yes .. exactly
<23> but i am installing gentoo linux at the moment, how can i get smartmontools? ... could i somehow isolate the bad sectors and install gentoo? ...i tried winXP before and installed itself without any trouble .. so couldn't i use the sectors that are fine, just to install gentoo ?
<17> back your data up first if possible. if that's not possible, take this as a lesson into the future and have backups before these things happen
<25> can anyone help me get my plextor dvd burner working?
<21> schlupping, get the diagnostic cd from your HD manufacturer
<4> you might also try booting from a data recovery cd .. if you had one
<5> rn_dc: you there?
<20> nkirc, http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41124
<4> naxxtor i'll still wait for gp***wd, i don't want lynx to eat cycles from cc1
<21> schlupping, windows is a lot more forgiving about memory/hd errors than gentoo because you arent compiling things
<20> nkirc, fair enough - but if you have that problem then you now have no excuse :p
<4> naxxtor sure i do..
<4> my gpm only lets me single click :)
<5> rn_dc: you have multi processor on. set to 8 cpus ..CONFIG_SMP doesn't sound right heh
<21> progs will run but run poorly , buggy, or docs will have errors in them, etc but because windows is precompiled the progs are still there
<21> with gentoo you'll usually crash when you try to install if you have hd or mem errors
<4> Awesome-o2000 speaking of memory errors, is there a way to release memory from dead processes ?
<21> nkirc, I dont know
<4> Awesome-o2000 hmn when i tried to install with hd errors i only got continual seg faults.. no crashes
<27> I had a windows installation not work once (the installation went fine, but the system wasn't at all usable) because of having the hdd and cdrom on the same IDE chain once O.o
<17> that shouldn't cause a problem, sounds like poor hardware
<21> nkirc, thats what I meant - the install crashes - not the system
<28> hello
<4> Awesome-o2000 oh ok.. yeah those seg faults are annoying
<29> It allways hurts when the hdd dies
<21> nkirc, its bad
<4> Awesome-o2000 i wish they could at least turn blue.. like another system i used to use
<21> Mad_Coder, hurts if ram goes bad too
<29> true
<21> ive found 99% of "bad ram" is mostly due to people not having the correct settings in their bios or not buying the proper ram for their system
<30> Is it ethical to download and burn the linux version of descent 3 because I already own the windows version?
<30> I want to play it on linux
<25> how the **** do I add this ****ing dvd burner
<31> lolz.
<24> antiliberal: Totally. Dunno if it's legal, but definitely ethical by my standards
<32> kaamoss: language
<17> kaamoss: cut it out with the foul language, please
<21> AntiLiberal, thats what you're supposed to do - the "linux" version still requires the windows version for the data
<21> otherwise I think you just get the demo
<28> am i supposed to have a gigantic path in java.cl***.path
<28> ?
<30> Awesome-o2000, yes but it's closed source and they made linux binaries
<32> wait, an anti-liberal asking about ethics? this is a joke, right? :)
<4> Workaphobia generally they have seperate licenses and ' keycodes' for each
<21> AntiLiberal, the "linux binaries" are still going to use that windows cd.
