Re: [gentoo-user] properly repartition a windows XP disk?
W.Kenworthy wrote: Are there any linux partitioning tools that will properly repartition a windows XP disk ready for gentoo? - I need to keep windows until gentoo is fully working, inc. all bells and whistles! Last time I came up against this I had to use a commercial product. BillK The system rescue disk has nfstools in it and a nice gui interface called qtparted I think. That is how I did the repartition on my laptop. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] gramps broken
A program I use called Gramps won't work anymore. It appears to be a problem with python rather than the program itself. I can't figure it out. The ebuild works, I don't know what I might have upgraded but I have been reinstalling various python modules ever since trying to make it work. Now I am stuck on this one: Fatal Pithon error: could not import ORBit module Aborted I just forced emerge to emerge orbit-python-1.99.0-r1 but it is still doing this. Previously it complained about gtk2 so I emerged pygtk. Then it complained about gnome-python so I emerged it...now I get this error and I emerged the orbit-python but it is still bitching. Any ideas? I've tried to emerge Gramps and it works fine but still won't run. I think it must have to do with interdependencies in the libs it uses rather than what it uses itself because it was working before and orbit-python wasn't here at that point. -- Noah Roberts Saint Martin's University Information Technology Services 486-8814 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] glsa
How long between when a GLSA is distributed and glsa-check will pick it up? I just got a message from announce that has a GLSA I believe my server will be vulnerable to but glsa-check isn't picking it up. In fact I just did a 'glsa-check -l | grep 200507' and nothing showed up. Does the portage db need to be updated? I figured it would use the rss. -- Noah Roberts Saint Martin's University Information Technology Services 486-8814 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Ian K wrote: Hi there, I have already posted something kind of like this, but I was told to kill artsd before running audacity, and it didn't work. Are you sure artsd died and that it stayed dead? Some of these sound daemons think they are better than you and will just start back up. In fact, a lot of the stuff in the desktops does this. I find it very annoying. -- Noah Roberts Saint Martin's University Information Technology Services 486-8814 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Install Situation
C.Beamer wrote: Hello All, Yesterday, I started my first attempt at installing Gentoo. This was a practice run on a test computer prior to installing on my regular computer. I let the kernel build run overnight and consequently was not able to finish the install before going to work today. Everything was fine. I did couple more steps as outlined in the Handbook when I was home at lunch. I left the computer on because I wasn't finished the install and sometime this afternoon, there was a power blip and the computer rebooted. Of course, my installation CD (Universal) was in the CD drive so, I'm back at the livecd root # prompt. How do I continue from where I left off or do I have to start all over again? I would gather that you are in a pre-bootable stage? Did you emerge lilo or grub yet? All you will need to do at this point then is to mount your filesystems and then chroot like it says in the handbook. Then you should be ready to continue where you left off. -- Noah Roberts St. Martin's University Information Technology Services 486-8814 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
