<0> hi there
<0> OK, I give up. How do I get my Gentoo box into single user mode?
<0> or even better: I want to unmount /home to do a e2fsck on it... but it reports it as busy. Any ideas on where I can see what process is keeping it busy>
<1> ok i tried everything
<2> tehe i wonder abt why one wants to have a singleuser system
<1> how do i check what version of xorg i have?
<3> xdpyinfo
<4> X -version
<3> :>
<3> try zaei's tip instead..
<5> Lashings of ginger beer.
<6> Can someone lend us a second set of eyes (perl eyes please) http://pastebin.com/630328 <- perl -c keeps telling me "Useless use of private variable in void context line 23." can anyone see what's wrong with it? I can't...
<1> (II) Loading extension GLX
<1> (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
<1> (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
<1> (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
<1> (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
<1> this is the only thing i can't get to work in gentoo
<1> i got everything perfect otherwise
<7> did you compile the module?
<6> what rajman said
<7> make sure your x and kernel versions of the module are the same, too
<1> where would it be located?
<1> i used emerge
<7> well your kernel is in /usr/src/linux-* to begin with
<1> i know that
<7> so you need the kernel module and the X module
<1> i had to recompile it to get alsa working
<6> Sorry, I messed up the paste... http://pastebin.com/630334 can anyone tell me why I might be "Uselessly" using a private variable in void context on line 45?
<7> did you emerge both nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel ?
<7> and if so are they the same version number?
<1> yeah
<1> i'll emerge them again
<5> [Ribs] CAPSLOCK IS AUTOPILOT FOR COOL
<1> what's the best way to do that
<1> i'm gonna recompile the kernel first
<1> then emerge those packages again
<8> err... emerge -pv nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel i suppose...
<8> then remove the p when that looks good
<6> ah never mind
<6> after looking at it 30 times I had =>. instead of >=
<8> YOU FOOL :)
<6> shuddup
<6> you write drivers in perl!
<6> ??dsc ? perl -c DiscStakka.pm
<6> DiscStakka.pm syntax OK
<6> now that's a good feeling
<6> now to write the other 300 lines for client.pl
<8> heh.. deep sea perl drivers
<8> hmm... no-one else finds that sentence inexplicably funny eh ?
<9> no
<9> :p
<8> i like shiny things
<6> I think I'm going home...
<8> i think i'm going round the corner
<1> this doesn't make sense
<1> the module is loaded in the kernel
<1> modprobe nvidia doesn't say anything really
<7> so you've recompiled your kernel [properly for module] and now emerge nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel
<2> and nvidia-settings maybe ...
<2> does that work?
<1> ERROR: NV-CONTROL extension not found on this Display.
<1> do i use to type " make "
<1> after it's done?
<1> oh dugh
<1> nm
<2> huh make? i thought you emerged the packages
<1> nm
<1> i just compiled the kernel
<1> now i'm emerging
<1> same error messages
<10> i'm outta beer
<10> ??
<2> bavarian beer ...
<10> mmmm
<10> thanks
<2> i feel your pain ;-)
<1> /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o
<1> that file exists
<1> so why would it say module not found
<11> did you rebuild your kernel after compiling that module?
<1> no
<1> i did it before
<11> hm
<11> i forget the order
<11> just reaching at straws over here. you did opengl-update nvidia or whatever?
<1> yeah
<1> i think i fixed it
<1> in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ nvidia_drv.o was the only file
<1> yet in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers it had lots of display drivers
<1> i copied and pasted
<1> the driver was in the wrong directory
<11> ah
<1> so i didn't do anything wrong
<1> i followed the instructions to a T
<1> and searched google for 10 hours
<1> i don't give up
<12> anyone know how to regenerate a new /var/lib/init.d/depcache? :\
<1> i am relentless
<1> i'm probably the only person that can install gentoo who is an ex-con that lives in south philly
<13> how do i mount a .bin file?
<1> cuz i've been in jail 4 times and i never met any techs
<8> i know a tech who went to jail for paedophile offences
<1> that's horrible
<1> i was just a crazy drunk from 18 to 23
<1> i'm 24 and mellowed out
<1> thanx for everyone's help
<8> i'm not saying its o.k.. but guess where i first met him many years before.... irc :) we used to have parties and bbq's when we all hung out in the channel named after our city....
<1> i got everything working perfect in gentoo
<8> heh... so what did yer do then ?
<1> well first time i shoot a registered rifle in the air to scare away 10+ people trying to hurt my friend
<1> then i was on parole and it got violated for me being a drunk and breaking windows
<1> twice
<8> heh... thats o.k.. we've all done things like that....
<8> well, some of us :)
<8> never shot a gun in a crowd.... but i've done it in a backyard <grin>
<1> yeah i'm guilty of nothing more than anyone with enough beer in him would do in a bad situation
<1> i'm getting ready to run quake 4 in linux
<8> i wouldn't know about that... i still don't have good enough pc's / cards to run stuff like that :)
<1> i built this PC
<8> tuxracer is kinda cool with the new (old) ati drivers tho
<8> i've built every pc except the first i owned... of course i rebuilt it a few times
<1> i only got a 5200 FX though
<8> its outside the door empty now
<8> i've got a radeon 7000dualhead :) got a g550 too, but its in the other machine
<1> my card played quake 4 okay on XP
<1> is there anyway i can block outgoing connections from linux?
<8> look up about iptables
<8> you can selectively block/allow ANY port/protocol/interface etc etc...
<1> this reminds me of when i learned win32 api in C++ before learning the syntax
<1> i don't know many linux commands
<8> once you get the basics (cd ls less more nano etc etc) you are off and racing.. you've got man for man pages and the web for everything else.. a feww tricks like grep and sed are good to learn....
<1> i like this way better than xp
<1> i still like XP more than most distro's of linux
<1> that i've tried
<8> mmm... remember with ... bastard left... remember with linux you can change the window manager etc as much as you please...
<6> someone dcc me a keyboard
<8> i would, but apparently i can't send dcc's
<5> shh, sekrit
<6> I might have a bannanna... seing as they're worth $4 more then what they were worth when I bought them... I'm going to enjoy em
<11> expensive bananas
<6> tis what happens when a cyclone flattens the bannana crops
<1> yo i downloaded an ebuild of firefox 1.5.0.1 to replace the 1.0.7 version
<1> how do i install it?
