Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo not detecting full amount of memory

All seemed to go well. When I rebooted I got the menu with the two selections listed (Gentoo and DOS). The computer will boot into DOS okay, but I can't get it to boot into Gentoo. Ergo, I think the grub install is fine, but I made an error in my grub.conf file. Since I'm only moderately savvy about editing configuration files, I relied on the examples in the Gentoo Handbook. Details are as follows: I have a dual boot system: hda1 is DOS hda2 is /boot hda3 is swap hda4 is my extended partition hda5 is /root The grub.conf file that I entered is as follows: default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Genoo Linux 2.6.12-r6 root (hda0, 1) kernel /kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda5 udev initrd /initrd-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 title=DOS root (hda0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 I put the initrd line in the grub.conf file even though when I ran the command 'ls /boot/kernel* /boot/initrd*' as instructed in the Handbook, I got told that there was no initrdfile. Have I missed something or done something wrong? Is there a way to fix the grub.conf file? I tried selecting the Gentoo line from the menu and pressing 'e' to edit, but no matter what changes I made, I still get an error message when I try to boot into Gentoo that says: Error 15: File not found This displays immediatedly after the line kernel /kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda5 udev Any assistance would be appreciated. And please remember, I am not stupid, but I'm not a computer science grad. I've been running Linux at home for about 3 years and dabbling with it for a couple of years before that, but I've always used Redhat or Fedora. However, I'm finding that with each release of Fedora, more quirks appear. Things that I was able to do with no problem in a previous release, I now can't do without letting some blood. Hence, I wanted to try Gentoo because I can install the software from source using emerge. This will be a learning curve for me, but I can conquer it - I have come a long way since a friend first mentioned Linux to me and I asked what it was! Anyway, the point of the previous paragraph is to ask that complete details be stated for any help that is provided. And if you tell me that I screwed up royally and have to start all over, that's okay. That's what this exercise was for - to learn what I needed to know before installing Gentoo on a production system. BTW, I did a Stage 3 install. Since it was my first time and I don't know anything about optimizations, I didn't want to get in over my head. :-) Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Why would you want to display at lower resolution than the best available ? Internet TV, or videos are one reason. Do you want an animated postage stamp in one corner of your 1280x1024 display? Software scaling imposes a heavy load on the cpu, so hardware scaling is preferable. As I mentioned in a previous message, attempting to interpolate partial pixels hurts image quality. E.g. going from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 or 800x600 or 640x480 is bad. However, you can retain picture quality if you divide the resolution cleanly by whole integers. E.g. a 1280x1024 display should be just as good at 640x512 or 320x256. Similarly a 1600x1200 LCD would do OK at 800x600 or 400x300. xrandr -q is your friend.

[gentoo-user] He's baaaaaack!
Hello everybody, You may recall my tussle with an Sempron/Asus K8N-e box: first it wouldn't boot but I fixed that and then the entire unit died. The tech at Asus suggested I *reverse* the CMOS battery for a few seconds. I was skeptical but it seems to have done the trick. However LBA remains 'off' for my Maxtor120G HD in the POST even though it's listed as LBA-capable in the BIOS and LBA is also set to 'auto' in the BIOS. Also gentoo boots but not WinXP. To recap: I moved all my boot stuff to a 200M HD, mounted as Pri-Master. The Maxtor 120G(Pri-Slave) was split nearly in two with WinXP on the first half, gentoo on the 2nd. When I try to boot WinXP I get: rootnoverify (hd1,0)#2nd drive,first partition,right? makeactive chainloader +1 then the cursor advances a couple of lines and just sits there blinking. Does WinXP absolutely have to be the first partition on the first drive? What if I made the 200M the slave and re-did grub, could I still boot from it. -mw Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Documentation bug? Not recommended by the docs any more? You might want to actually try to find information about the subjects you respond to. Straight out of the AMD64 Gentoo Handbook: AMD64 users who want to use a native 64 bit system should use -march=k8 Combining that cite with the information from the gcc info page, I'm pretty sure it's not a documentation bug. Hold on...the -march thing would be an easy mistake to make for those of us who don't run AMD processors, and are just trying to help. Afterall, the platform keyword is amd64. And gcc info says that k8, opteron, athlon64, and athlon-fx are all equivalent, although I would suggest that the non-k8 options are more descriptive. Of course, but in this case it wasn't an oversight... The poster explicitly said that using march=k8 seemed to no longer be the recommendation of the docs. That implies at least _some_ looking into the subject before posting... If the poster being referred to is me, that wasn't what I meant to say, or rather what I meant to be *understood*-- what I meant was that apparently the Handbook recommends using the k8 flag, but people using that flag seem (and I stress seem, as I don't follow this issue that closely, naturally) to be running into problems, whereas those using the amd64 flag are not (or at least not the same problems). Now, I don't know the truth of the matter, but that would lead me to suspect that there could be *outdated information in the Gentoo documentation* (thus, a documentation bug), which, if those affected can verify, should perhaps be submitted.

Re: [gentoo-user] Name Resolution Problem
check 'man dhcpcd' to check the arguments to pass to it (via /etc/conf.d/net) to prevent it overwriting local config files like /etc/resolv.conf. Are you using a local bind server? recent updates to localhost processing in a recent gentoo update did the same for me with clients on other machines (principly firefox, but sometimes other apps). eventually I overwrote the gentoo supplied localhost and 127.zone config files with my own and now its all sweet. I dont know why browsers seem to ignore /etc/hosts, but firefox, mozilla and I think IE all do. My /etc/nsswitch setting is files DNS which should make apps check /etc/hosts first.

Re: [gentoo-user] Name Resolution Problem
nsswitch.conf has a number of other entries in it which if missing may give rise to similar weird problems like this. You might like to extract it from sys-libs/glibc (the owner on my system) and replace it with the full file.

Re: [gentoo-user] 6x13 font for gnome-terminal

Is there some way I can tell gnome-terminal to use -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO8859-1 or, even better, tell gnome to make this font available on the menus?

[gentoo-user] Is there a 'widget' Konfabulator emulator for X-windows?
I just got hip to these little applet thingys called widgets. Mac OS-X started them, but in some divine miracle, Konfabulator is also a Windows XP program too. There like a thousand of these little widget/applet things -- all free -- that do all kinds of amazing things from the obligatory calculators, clocks, RSS feeds, etc, but even more advanced stuff, I have one that controls my TiVo! http://www.widgetgallery.com/ It looks like they are just basically a javascript language and a way to run them on the desktop. I did some google searching for widget and linux but can't find anything aside from (G)Tk stuff. This would be a fantastic project for someone with more X-windows/KDE/Gnome skills than me to tackle. Then all those fancy OS-X/XP widgets would just work too! How great is that?! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] He's baaaaaack!
there were no succesful winxp boot, because bios didnt enable LBA seting. i dont think (win95)fdisk wil work with linux partitions. Right, but booting a win95/98 CD and running fdisk /mbr from the DOS prompt will usually restore a WinXP boot sector. What's so bizarre in this case is that it should only partially restore(so it seems) bootability. Can you or anyone explain what this 16/255 controversy has to do with it? True, LBA is 'off', but WinXP starts at the beginning of /dev/hdb and *doesn't* boot, whereas gentoo starts at the 60G point and it *does* boot. Also FWIW all WinXP files are readable from gentoo once it's up. Even when I eliminate the first drive, the 200M drive where grub resides, and install the 120G HD as pri-master and try to boot, boot.ini opens up giving me the choices of WinXP and Recovery Console as I said before; only problem: neither goes anywhere, just hangs. -mw __ Do You Yahoo!?
