Comments:

<0> so i should boot, mount readonly, and then do badblocks/fsck
<1> fnord__: I wish they left things like cron, inetd, and stuff alone, instead of rewriting them.
<0> ?
<2> can anyone tell me how I can extract my saved kernel config options from /proc/config.gz please?
<3> fnord__: no. Give me a minute, can't remember where that switch was.
<4> OneDown, ??
<5> Kakihara: with gunzip
<6> aways
<7> Does anyone have any clue to when Gentoo 2006.0 will be released?
<8> SkramX: any chance you can use well instead of welp?
<9> OneDown: grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
<10> OneDown: you have to create sentances or questions that ew can understand
<11> thinkinginbinary, i can't really complain, it's just a new system to learn, which I enjoy doing.
<10> s/ew/we/
<11> marienz: many thanks
<12> OpenOffice compile ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz



<0> welp: Yeah, sorry- its a habbit, bro.
<13> hi marienz :)
<3> fnord__: got it. startx (which is a shell script) has defaultserverargs="-nolisten tcp -br". You can perhaps override that or you can edit startx.
<3> hey thisbullet
<12> blah
<0> I didnt realize the havoc it would cause you ;P
<6> what is grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
<10> ...
<8> SkramX: no worries ;)
<1> fnord__: I guess I'm annoyed that they advertise it as "POWERED BY UNIX" but then I try to use Unix stuff on it (/etc/p***wd doesn't even contain regular users, IIRC!) and I can't. IT's not really Unix, it's a Unix-ish system with tons of changes.
<9> OneDown: just type it
<6> okey
<11> thinkinginbinary, but it's so shiny :]
<11> marienz, I'll edit startx, that's perfect, thanks.
<2> drac: thanks. I'm mid-installation so I'll emerge it now. Before I do, can you verify that this is the best way of finding out whether I've got the vesafb or vesafb-tng driver?
<6> bye all, i have a work
<1> fnord__: You sound like my annoying brother. :-b
<1> fnord__: It is shiny.
<5> Kakihara: "zgrep -i vesafb /proc/config.gz" ;)
<14> I'll try being nicer, thisbullet, if you'll try being smarter.
<10> HEH
<13> rawr
<11> go bot
<10> GenBot: die
<14> FieldySnuts: I don't like you. You smell bad.
<15> lol
<13> haha
<3> GenBot: you're slow
<14> I love you too, thisbullet.
<16> need help.. i'm trying to compile bcm43xx so i can lose my bependance on ndiswrapper, and i'm getting the following symbols bothering me. i can't seem to figure where they are in the kernel tree. http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/cjeg7x76.html
<14> FieldySnuts: OK I'm hurt - you can go.
<2> drac: thanks - I'm looking into what that means/does
<13> genbot is slow today
<1> Are there any utilities that can automatically set the transpareny of windows as they're created?
<13> thinkinginbinary, what are you in?
<13> kde, xfce, gnome, fvwm etc..
<1> thisbullet: openbox
<1> thisbullet: I don't want a combo WM+composite manager, nor a DE.
<13> thinkinginbinary, id google "openbox transparency" or something
<1> thisbullet: (I could use KDE if I wanted, but I want more speed.)
<13> i honestly have no idea. fvwm its easy to do
<17> anyone recomend a good tv tuner card that is compatible with Gentoo Linux?
<13> thinkinginbinary, i cant use kde. its like so friggen bi
<13> big*
<9> what the hell means "failed fips test" when I run rngd, from rng-tools?
<18> why can't you just walk into a store and purchase a decent laptop?
<1> LinuxBlues: Your random numbers aren't random enough.
<1> bryanl: Who are you asking?
<10> bryanl: because most laptops aren't decent.
<19> what kernel option is making my ir remote act like a keyboard
<20> hi, in the manual it says something about framebuffer things under installing a boot loader, and it says i have a choice of vesa-fb or vesa-fb-tng. I cannot find the options, despite looking in dev. drivers -> graphics support-> support for fb devices=y
<21> to get cpufreq scaling to work on a centrino i select Intel Enhanced SpeedStep, but in my /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0 its empty......... why
<22> q: when emerging a package, how many tries will be made before it gives up downloading the package? (I've got a big emerge going, and it says it's at try 2)
<18> thinkinginbinary, thinking out loud
<1> bryanl: And do you mean Linux-compatible, or decent? Because Linux-compatible = less hardware choice = more expensive.
<1> bryanl: ah



<9> thinkinginbinary: any way to solve it, or disable it in the kernel to enter a low-power consumption on my lappy?
<1> bryanl: Because the type of people who *normally* shop in stores (not you) don't need decent computers.
<18> most laptops are fairly linux compatible
<4> skunk_eyed, are you using gentoo-sources ?
<20> roger55: yes, positive
<18> i want to upgrade my compaq amd64 3000 to something way faster... and i just don't see it in the store
<10> ibm thinkpads are the way to go on linux, from what i've found. you pay more for them, and they are worth it
<1> LinuxBlues: Where are you getting this message, and what's rngd?
<4> skunk_eyed, it's framebuffer console
<10> most stores don't have high end laptops like that
<1> FieldySnuts: I have heard wonderful things about them as well, *and* you get a free tilt sensor and fingerprint reader!
<10> thinkinginbinary: yep those all work here
<21> to get cpufreq scaling to work on a centrino i select Intel Enhanced SpeedStep, but in my /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0 its empty......... why
<22> play pinball with the tilt sensor
<22> there's a kernel driver for it
<23> hum i think i found my problem but i need help fixing
<9> thinkinginbinary: rngd is the daemon installed with rng-tools, the tools needed to run hw_random according to the kernel docs
<1> Roan: Did you build the "speedstep_centrino" module?
<10> it's called HDAPS, it's an X/Y sensor, can tell hardware to park hard disk heads if it tinks it's falling.
<24> how can i change my hostname?
<16> bryanl: undefined symbol " way faster".
<10> or yes used as a joystick, system sees it as one also
<18> kc8pxy, amd64 4000
<4> hawking, /etc/conf.d/hostname /etc/hosts
<24> thanks
<23> when i install grub,once it's finish it tell me fd0-fd0 hdc-hdc,should only hdc be there ?
<1> FieldySnuts: I know, I've seen the docs. It's cool. On Windows, the system tray applet has a little animated laptop that tilts as you tilt it.
<9> thinkinginbinary: and my laptop has a hardware rng in the mobo, according to the docs...
<18> i'm curious to how fast the dual core 1.8 really is
<20> roger55: really? cos if i search for vesa i see a FB_VESA_TNG entry (=n)
<1> bryanl: You have one?
<4> skunk_eyed, that's it
<10> hdaps: IBM ThinkPad T43 detected
<16> bryanl: ...... IIRC i saw one in the store the other day..
<18> thinkinginbinary, i have a amd64 3000 and a dual core on my deskopt
<10> people are working on software thankfully. almost there.
<1> bryanl: ::drool::
<18> kc8pxy, which store?
<19> what kernel option is making my ir remote act like a keyboard?
<21> thinkinginbinary: yes and use acpi tables / built-in tables for banias CPU's is enabled
<20> roger55: but i cannot find the selectable option in menuconfig
<1> bryanl: I want a Yonah laptop. They're insanely fast. But not yet, because there's no wifi driver yet.
<1> Roan: Did you modprobe it?
<2> drac: thanks for that. Searching for vesa returned "CONFIG_FB_VESA_TBG is not set" - is it bad to have vesafb instead of vesafb-tng? Should I build a new kernel?
<4> skunk_eyed, the search result tells you where it is
<16> bryanl: it's a chain, but not a mega-chain. nicrocenter.
<24> roger55: and is there a way to reload the configuration without restarting?
<21> thinkinginbinary: what is the module's name?
<1> Roan: speedstep_centrino
<16> microcenter.
<18> thinkinginbinary, i'll put a pccard in for wifi for now..
<1> Roan: do `modprobe speedstep_centrino' and it should work.
<17> no recomendations at all for a good linux compatible tv tuner?
<20> roger55: the thing is, it ain't there, even though i looked at where it should be in the search results
<4> jmacina, what should it be able to do?
<22> q: how many times will the emerge process try to resume a partial download of a package before giving up?
<25> LinuxBlues, its slower with -O dir_index
<26> How can i completely remove KDE ?
<18> i live between baltimore and dc... lots of money out here, and i still can't get dencent computer parts
<9> jmacina: linuxcompatible.org
<1> bryanl: Yeah, it would be nice to always have a "good old trusty" PCMCIA card that *always* works with Kismet.
<27> microcenter rocks
<1> bryanl: Newegg.
<1> chi: It's ok.
<9> rommel: I can't believe that
<4> jmacina, if you want hardware encoded mpeg2 get a hauppauge pvr-250
<17> roger55, just basically wtach tv and do some recording once in a while
<1> chi: They don't have good selection of some things, like Flash MP3 players.
<21> thinkinginbinary: thanks, how can I get that to load at boot?
<9> rommel: have you ran e2fsck - fD /dev/hdaX ?
<27> thinkinginbinary, its the best thing i have in my area MN
<28> roger55: still will not work and md5sum /dev/hdc returns md5sum: /dev/hdc input/output error
<4> jmacina, if not get a wintv something.
<1> Roan: add it to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
