[gentoo-user] Problem compiling ati-drivers-8.35.5
Running revdep-rebuild, I got an error building fgl_glxgears.

Could this also cause the problem, that I get a black screen trying to stop xorg-server? Right no the only way to shut down the computer is to hold the power button till it shuts down :-( Regards, Herb -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Look for a dead.letter file in /root which may contain any errors of the
logrotate script. In my system there is /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng which
contains:
===

/var/log/messages {
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload /dev/null 21 || true
endscript
}
===
It seems to rotate the messages log file fine and create compressed backups
within /var/log. If you have both scripts then there may be a conflict which
would probably be captured in dead.letter.
HTH.

Re: [gentoo-user] Stop net.eth0 from starting?
On 08:47 Thu 02 Aug , Dan Cowsill wrote: I've got wifi configured with madwifi and use my wifi interface a lot more than the ethernet I had thought that removing net.eth0 from rc-update, but that didn't seem to work. Every time I booted, the interface tried to go up and get dhcp information. I then read about and used a preup function to check that interfaces are actually connected before they are brought up, and this essentially solves the problem. It occurs to me that it would just be a whole lot easier and cleaner if net.eth0 just didn't try to start at all, but I haven't found any way to do this short of removing the init.d script from rc-update. My question is, is there any way to stop net.eth0 from starting besides ethtool's preup function? There's yet another solution to this problem: $ cat net config_eth0=( null ) So just set the configuration for the interface to `null' so it doesn't do atything when brought up at boot time.
