[gentoo-user] kernel upgrade error
Hello list. For installing vmware My kernel version is 2.6.24-gentoo-r5. But I have no source files. So I downloaded source files. But that’s version 2.6.27-gentoo-r8. When I installed vmware, it told me kernel version and kernel source files’ version no match. I have to kernel upgrade. I entered “genkernel all” And vi /boot/grub/grub.conf - default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Gentoo Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.27-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3 initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.27-gentoo-r8 - And reboot.

[gentoo-user] New xorg.conf with x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r5

You can have at this:

Here's what I did.
I kept xorg.conf, but removed InputDevices.
Created the file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi
You can try the following. Modify it after your needs and remember to
restart /etc/init.d/hald.

December To rejoin my earlier idea, as Donnie's post seems to say, autobuilds have not been rigorously tested as the old releases... So yes, autobuilds are build with stable and tested software, but a release roadmap means that there is some work to built it, and IMHO is a proof that the distro is alive. And i think that this will be seen by the Community as a dying distro... things like autobuilds are announced regularly. In fact, i was not aware of autobuilds before yesterday... And i'm now using them. On the other side, i still disagree with vanishing of the Gentoo releases, as they leads to a better visibility in the open source community. I think they provide some milestone to see that the distribution is kept up-to-date and still under active developpement... But again, it's my own opinion. You are right, thats what darkside talked about. Plus if you take a look at sites like distrowatch, gentoo will vanish w/o new releases I think it's important that Gentoo stay in touch with these kinds of website to improve his visibility over the Open Source Community, and that's why i think that official releases are important.

However, if you have any issues, here's a few steps you can try: * Try commenting out all Options in the Device, Screen and Monitor sections in your xorg.conf * Even better, try running Xorg without any xorg.conf (you can rename it to xorg.conf.old) I got a pair but I'm not sure they are big enough to try that. I'm keeping mine if I upgrade and it works OK for me. Dale :-) :-)

Well, I think ultimately it's part of a larger hotplugging idea and autoconfig, not simply changing it from one format to another with no additional reasons. Without hotplugging you needed to define everything in xorg.conf but now you can skip the FDI unless you have some customized configuration (and even things like keyboard layout could be set up in gnome/kde/whatever rather than in xorg.conf/FDI). But, yes, xorg.conf is certainly more human-readable than FDI files for sure.
[gentoo-user] portage system questions...
Hi, I have a few portage system related questions, maybe someone could help me or direct me to the place where I can find answers: Q1: Where can I find what packages belong to system (base)? I tried man emerge and it says: /etc/make.profile/packages Contains a list of packages used for the base system. The sys- tem and world sets consult this file. Do not edit this file. But I do not have any /etc/make.profile/packages file! I'm sure I did not change anything in portage files/directories configuration. So where is this file gone? Q2: Can I remove some packages which belong to system? Some of them I do not need (bc, links), others I'd like to substitute (vim instead of nano). BTW, I just think bc, links and nano belong to system, because I have them, but I did not emerge them manually... And finally Q3: How can I make my own stage3-archive from working system? Some man/help/howto could help me for sure... Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists! Everything else is considered to be spam and therefore deleted.

[gentoo-user] problem making bootable usb key
Hi group, Using as my model: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/liveusb.xml to install eeexubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386-20090223.iso via a bootable usb key. Everything fine until this command: # cp -r /mnt/cdrom/* /mnt/usb resulted in this: cp: cannot create symbolic link `/media/disk/dists/stable': Operation not permitted cp: cannot create symbolic link `/media/disk/dists/unstable': Operation not permitted cp: cannot create symbolic link `/media/disk/ubuntu': Operation not permitted Some one in a forum says this doesn't matter. Very well, I carry on. This command: # mv /mnt/usb/memtest86 /mnt/usb/memtest results in a file-not-found msg. And when I try to boot get Missing operating system. I ran through the steps several times to make sure I wasn't leaving something out or adding something that wasn't there but the result was the same. Does it really matter that I'm using 'Buntu? A look at the 'Buntu howtos for this procedure remind me why I prefer the gentoo method. Neil, you there? How did you do it? I don't have a cd/dvd attachment for my tripleE, have to use a usb key.

Yeah I know, too many questions :P If it's the same version you won't have to recompile. Typically the updates happen first in the overlay and then move to the tree, so by using the overlay you get to skip the waiting period (at the expense of /potential/ problems, though I haven't had any). Sometimes the USE flags change so if you use --newuse you might run into some of that, but that happens with non-KDE stuff in the normal portage tree, too. If I look at the KDE ebuilds none of them should be in slot 0. Everything from the KDE release should be either in slot 3.5 or 4.2. Some KDE-compatible apps, however, like k3b, koffice, Amarok etc are not part of the main KDE release and will use their own slot strategy (and their own versioning strategy as well).
