<0> what do I have to care for, when emerging new gentoo-sources ?
<0> where are my old preferences saved?
<1> lnxnt_: just save them for yourselves cp /usr/src/`uname -r`/.config ~/.
<0> xbow: should i copy them back after emerge?
<1> lnxnt_: yes that's the kernel configuration
<1> lnxnt_: that requires you having a kernel built already
<1> lnxnt_: else you can get the config via cat /proc/config.gz >foo.bar
<1> and that's it for me
<1> gnite
<0> xbow: thanks, gn8
<2> Hey, is anyone running 2 screens with different resolutions on X?
<2> I'd want to set up another 19", but the prob is that the new one would be a widescreen (1440x900) and my current one is 4:3 (1280x1024)
<2> Does X care?
<3> no
<2> Ok
<3> you have to manually force the screen DPI though
<2> In xorg.conf?
<3> otherwise your fonts will get ****ed up
<3> yes
<2> Alright
<2> I'm running fluxbox, so is it possible to have virtual desk on screen 1 and vd 2 and screen 2 ?
<3> what?
<2> Hmm.. let me rephrase :)
<2> I've seen one guy who had 2 monitors.
<3> basically, if you run Xinerama, you'll have one huge desktop, as far as the computer is concerned
<2> Yeah that's not what I want
<3> if you have separate Screens, they act as separate computers =)
<3> as far as the applications are concerned
<3> positive thing about xinerama - you can move windows between monitors easily
<3> negative part - some applications maximize over the entire display area, and no window manager can get you separate vdesks
<2> Yes, and that negative part made me ask.
<2> See, I'd like to run some games with cedega as I work, and maybe watch movies/videos while I work, so I'd need them running separate vdesks
<3> the only downside with screens is you can't move windows between displays
<2> I don't need that feature anyways :)
<3> good
<2> So it's possible to have the monitors running their separate vdesks without ****ing things up?
<3> an old xorg.conf of mine can be found at http://koti.mbnet.fi/patli/skriptat/xorg.conf
<3> iirc
<3> yes
<2> K, thanks
<2> :)
<2> O.o
<2> 4 displays?
<3> no, just three
<3> although I could attach a fourth just as easily
<3> =)
<2> Oh yes, two more q's, if you will..
<3> three is optimum
<3> I notice myself not using those even to maximum
<3> but I also find myself being unable to work efficiently with just one display
<2> First, I'm having a single GeForce pci-x thingy here, which has two dvi slots. That should cause no problem, right? Then, does GLX and DRI work without getting confused?
<3> yes, it works like magic.
<2> w00t :)
<2> I'll go buy a 2nd display soon enough.
<2> I'd put up three, but my deskspace is too small for that :(
<3> just remember to correctly set those PCI IDs
<3> three TFTs do the trick nicely =)
<2> Oh yeah, speaking about PCI ID's
<2> The PciID of my Gf is 1:0:0
<3> yes?
<2> Do I need to change that somehow for the 2nd tft?
<3> no
<2> Goody
<2> I've just grown paranoid by re-checking everything and asking stupid questions. You can't imagine how many times I've broken my gentoo :)
<3> mm
<3> just remember to say Screen 0 or Screen 1 in the Device section
<3> that will give the nvidia driver a hint about which head you wish the device to output to
<3> some cards don't allow that to be changed arbitrarily, though
<3> so you may have to swap cables =)
<2> What do you mean?
<3> I mean one of the heads on your gfx card is "primary", the other "secondary"
<2> Yeah..
<3> and the primary will always get inited first
<3> you'll notice when you play around with it and the screens don't align like you want them =)
<3> just swap the cables when that happens
<2> Ok.
<2> patson: Thanks for the tips and the script :=
<3> sure
<4> moin
<5> where can I find out which processor type I have?
<6> cat /proc/cpuinfo
<7> hi RoeR
<8> yoyo
<5> how can I get info about a device connected via usb but not mounted
<1> dmesg?
<1> /proc/bus/usb?
<1> something like that
<1> :)
<9> lsusb?
<1> lsusb yes as well
<5> I can't mount this scsi device - I don't know which filesystem is on it and mount -t auto can't find
<10> lnxnt: file -sL /dev/sda*
<5> oh
<5> lindi-: wow
<5> lindi-: it works :)
<5> it's a read only file system - can I change that?
<11> mount -o remount rw /dev/sdaXX
<12> remount,rw
<11> ye
<5> thanks :)
<5> :(
<5> I can't write on it or change the permissions. It's ntfs
<5> is ntfs a problem?
<9> writing on ntfs partitions is experimental and you need some tools that are not in the kernel
<10> lnxnt: i'd migrate to ext2
<5> ext2 can handle ntfs?
<5> oh it's just a one time use actually...but if all windows users will use ntfs in futuere that could be a problem
<10> lnxnt: you can access ext2 from both gnu/linux and windows
<5> how can I force unmount?
<7> -f
<5> didn't du
<7> fuser -k /mount/point
<5> /mnt/usb/: 11094c
<5> kill?
<7> yes
<7> are you still cd'ed in a dir on that mountpoint?
<5> no
<7> something is still using it try to kill it and umount -f
<5> ok thanks
<7> yw
<10> indeed, you should be able to umount anything
<13> # umount anything
<13> umount: anything: not found
<7> hmm, freebsd =P
<14> lol
<14> :>
<13> no, thats gentoo
<7> yes, wrong channel =P
<14> lame:P
<14> lets ban him ;)
<13> i only have some ancient install of freebsd on my desktop
<7> i just downloaded 6.1
<13> havent run that for 2 years or so
<7> i run it on my desktop for 4 years now
<7> i tried to convert to linux once, but linux kernel doesn't rread ufs2 yet
<13> openbsd did, netbsd did (although that wouldnt install)
<7> i'm kinda stuck with it now, not that i really mind
<13> but at some point I got impatient and wanted it to work, and since I was most familiar with gentoo, I installed that
<7> my fbsd doesn't want to mount my digicam
<13> if I had a new machine now, I'd try kubuntu
<7> if i'de use a linux it would be gentoo
<13> I already have 2 of those, dont need a third
<7> ah
<15> I have lvm on top of software raid. after last update I get "start_volumes: command not found" - any ideas?
<15> hmm. module raid1 should be loaded before raid-start.sh is executed...
