<0> Everytime I run emerge -u portage, nothing happens
<1> tameritoke, emerge --sync
<0> He ants to perform a global update!
<0> Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/1Q-2006
<1> tameritoke, man portage
<0> How do I do that?! After running "emerge --sync"
<2> tameritoke: it does that on its own.
<1> yea
<0> not true
<3> I've got a DVD-ROM mounted (UDF) and I can cd to it and ls it, but if i try to read a file i get only "Input/output error"
<0> because the message is always available everytime I run: "emerge --sync"
<1> tameritoke, you can man portage or look gentoo manual for that
<0> and if I run emerge -u portage, he doesn't do anything either!
<4> tameritoke: have you run emerge -vauD world after emerge --sync??
<0> yes, I receive only a big info on the screen
<4> tameritoke: and did you hit y after reviewing all the updates to perform the update??



<0> I made now emerge --regen
<0> But the info is helpfull, thank you! Perhaps it helps
<5> tameritoke: if you dont mind me asking, where abouts are you from?
<0> where I am located ight now?
<0> EGYPT
<0> 3x small pyramids :)
<5> tameritoke: cool :) -sorry, i noticed the accent and was curious.
<0> Thank you guys
<0> But, ususally I am from GErmany
<0> But... I want to interduce the egyptian guys gentoo linux and bsd-gentoo
<0> Everything here is MS$
<0> I have to CHANGE IT!
<5> tameritoke: this is probably a very silly question, but whats the 'native' language over there in Egypt, and how have you found support?
<5> (as in Gentoo docs/information thats understandable/accessable)?
<0> The native language is arabic, which I do speak too! But most people who do use computers professionally, by programming, developing, do speak and understand english
<0> Gentoo arabic, would be wonderfull. Perhaps, if I stay here, I will build a gentoo arab community.
<5> oh, right, so its all done in english... An arabic port of Gentoo sounds... like a long term project :)
<0> This is what you think!
<0> I guess, the 1st step is building a gentoo linux social club
<6> Err, I'm having a problem... dhcpcd doesn't want to work >.<
<0> and then I would teach the people the flavour of free and open source linux
<5> Riggzy: define doesn't work. and where are you?
<7> :)
<5> (eg liveCD/newbuild/workikingsystem)
<0> Gentoo is wonderfull, much more wonderfull then debian or ubuntu.
<8> how can I check what exacly sata driver should I compile?
<0> Gives more freedom as anything else.
<8> #lspci -v | grep -i sata doesn't show anything
<6> MidnighToker - it "doesn't work", as in it is failing. I just got it installed and running yesterday. My net connection worked great on the LiveCD, bu now, nada
<3> more info...
<3> I've got a DVD-ROM mounted (UDF) and I can cd to it and ls it, but if i try to read a file i get only "Input/output error" - dmesg says "attempt to access beyond end of device"
<9> danrok: grep for "Serial ATA"
<5> tameritoke: because Gentoo isn't flashy and GUI based, and because its made me work to get it installed (even if it is copy/pasting commands) i'm actually learning how to actually use Linux :)
<5> Riggzy: what error are you getting?
<0> I would prefere preparing yourself to the LPI Level1 exams.
<6> MidnighToker - just rebooting a second...
<0> the best thing you could ever do.
<5> Riggzy: sure.
<5> tameritoke: LPI?
<8> Regor: nVidia Corporation CK8S Serial ATA Controller so in kernel put only <*> NVIDIA SATA support ?
<0> If you are LPI certified, you are able to deal with any distro.
<9> danrok: you got it
<0> LPI = Linux Professional Institute
<5> ooh.
<0> Industrial wide accepted.
<0> lpi.org
<8> yes, becouse i put it earlier, now I don't know why my system could't boot :(
<5> sounds like its definatly worth looking at. thank you :)
<0> I plan taking these exams this summer
<10> lpi is nice because it's vendor/company neutral
<10> still have to deal with some rpm junk but oh well
<0> if you want to make it cheap, for the certification I advise you buying from a LPI certified partner the courseware.
<5> FieldySnut: that sounds wonderfull (the venderless attitude) but... I honestly dont know how well that would work.. I mean, just the differences that make different distributions... yeah, you know what I mean.
<6> MidnighToker - it waits for a while on "Running dhcpcd", times out, the [!!] appear. Then i get the error "Problem starting needed services. "netmount" was not started."
<0> I did it with oreilly, and it was the biggest mistake ever!
<6> MidnighToker - I'm using a blank net config btw
<11> ive just download the emacs cvs, and ./configure is stuck in an infinite loop
<5> Riggzy: I take it you've installed dhcpcd?
<0> You can buy the courseware from linupant perparing yourself for the LPI exams: http://www.linupfront.de/kursunterlagen/index_en.php
<6> MidnighToker - I did, but I'll do it again ;)
<0> Well people, I will go now.



<0> Thanks for your help.
<5> tameritoke: thanks :)
<5> Riggzy: if you set your IP settings manually, does it work? -i'm just wondering if you're having a network card driver type problem, rather than DHCP problem.
<0> My pleasure
<6> MidnighToker - I set it up as static, but when I tried to ping addresses it kept giving erros (host not reachable or whatever)
<0> have a nice day, you alltogether
<0> bye
<5> Riggzy: have you got the network drivers built in or as modules? (and are you using genkernel or your own?)
<6> MidnighToker - I'll look, and yes, I compiled it
<6> MidnighToker - theyre all as defaults, are there speciofic things I need enabled?
<5> Riggzy: well, you need the specific drivers for your card. what is it?
<6> MidnighToker - its a 3Com ethernet (this is a tower)
<8> How can I get to know what Hardware Monitoring support put in my kernel?
<5> Riggzy: try lspci | grep ethernet -it should tell you what chipset hte card is
<6> MidnighToker - "02:01.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3C920B-EMB Intergrated Fast Ethernet Controller [Tornado] (rev 40)
<5> Riggzy: in Device Drivers -> Networkin -> 10/100 -> 3com have you got vortex/boomerang support enabled (<*>)
<6> MidnighToker - as a module
<8> Do you know what Hardware Monitoring support put in my kernel?
<5> ok, is it loading the module? (lsmod) -or you could just compile it into the kernel
<6> MidnighToker - 3c59x is running
<5> ok, is dhcpcd running?
<6> I use lsmod to find that too? If so, no it isn't ;)
<5> (ps aux | grep dhcpcd)
<6> oh ok
<6> Only the search itself
<10> I'm having some odd problems starting named (bind), details here http://rafb.net/paste/results/4vwsmO41.html , any suggestions welcome :)
<10> actually I'm gonna update that brb
<5> emerge -s dhcpcd
<11> !!! /usr/local/portage does not seem to have a valid PORTDIR structure ~ how do i fix this?
<10> okay ; updated http://rafb.net/paste/results/IMtSdo62.html
<6> MidnighToker - Yep
<5> thats... odd. ok, 2 seconds
<6> sure
<8> LiquidAir: do you have portage overlay in make.conf?
<12> which telnetclients are there?
<13> hello all
<11> danbeck_, yes
<14> eml: portage has some search tools, you know
<13> anyone is using cross-office-pro 5.0?
<15> hi, how to change the installation prefix ?
<5> Riggzy: your /etc/conf.d/net is blank?
<12> Ticho, well, yeah :) I'm trying telnet-bsd now
<6> MidnighToker - yep, apart from the comments
<5> Riggzy: ok, lets put some stuff in there.
<3> wow, mksquashfs goes insane with RAM, doesn't it??
<8> LiquidAir: You put new ebuild in portage overlay? I think that must be good folder to put it into.
<16> is there an X server IRc channel? or anyone know how to start X in another resolution? (terminal has no keyboard or mouse)
<8> LiquidAir: like, you have to put it into properly category/name.
<11> danrok, yep
<5> modules=( "dhcpcd" ) // config_eth0= ( "dhcp" ) (//denotes new line)
<11> danrok, hang on
<5> Riggzy: dont leave a space between the = and the (
<6> MidnighToker - alright..
<8> can I have 2 profiles on Gentoo? Like booting Genkernel and than coldplug is starting and normal kernel, without coldplug?
<6> Starting eth0, Bringing up eth0, dhcp, Running dhcpcd ... then it times out
<5> Riggzy: you were saying it still didn't work when you specified the IP address?
<17> !seen Super-Fly
<18> Super-Fly was last seen 9 days, 1 hour, 54 minutes and 12 seconds ago, saying 'rommel: appears that my `/usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.la` file is empty, if I `opengl-update xorg-x11` and emerge, then switch back to ati, it works fine' in #gentoo.
<6> MidnighToker - it would send the packets but nothing came back
<6> in a ping
<5> Riggzy: where did you ge the IP settings you used from?
<6> MidnighToker - just from knowing how to network with my router...
<19> Please do you know some solution on stream video in firefox, how to have it working ?
<3> danrok: not sure you're not alluding to a grub selection, not a profile selection
<6> MidnighToker - hodl on, I think I got the mask number wrong
<5> Riggzy: ok, sorry. had someone telling me the other day I they had all the same IP and different gateways, so had to double check :S
<6> MidnighToker - hehe
<20> marxin, mplayerplug-in?
<8> JeffATL: but I don't think I can manipulate with rc-update by grub.
<19> nils: and how to use it ?
<21> hey guys, i need record data in dual-layer dvd, have free solution???
<5> Riggzy: ok, just trying to work out where this could have gone wrong. urm, its a new system you're using. -you followed the manual?
<22> can someone help me figure out my interent problem, after i made a new kernel my interent stopped working ( i am cuirrently on my other pc)
<8> Ok, I'm going to try a new kernel. BBL.
