OK, fine, in the kernel. I did a genconfig --menuconfig and couldn't find
these options in the menus. So, do I need to specify them on the genconfig
command line? And if so, what is the proper way? I did a genconfig --help
but got little support from that. There is no man entry for genconfig.
Thank you SO MUCH for all the help you are giving me, I REALLY appreciate
it.

They're *kernel* options. You need to enable these options in your

Re: [gentoo-user] can't configure java
Setting the system JVM is different from setting the user JVM. The system JVM defines what emerge will use to compile *.java source files. As such, the system vm must be a JDK, not a JRE.You really don't want to set 1.5 as your system JVM unless you're trying to fix ebuilds to work with 1.5. Jave 5 introduces new keywords (enum) and constructs (foreach loop, generics) that are not source compatible with previous releases and many packages will not compile with 1.5.If you still really want to run 1.5 as the system JVM (or if you just want 1.5 for use by regular users), then this will tell you all you need to install the 1.5 JDK. http://gentoo-wiki.com/Java_Installation_Help#Java_1.5dcmOn 5/8/06, Robert Persson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:On Sunday 07 May 2006 22:14 Robert Persson was like: When I try to use java-config, the following happens: THIS SYSTEM VM IS NOT SUFFICIENT, REQUIRED BINARIES WERE NOT FOUND System Virtual Machine set You may want to update your enviroment by running: /usr/sbin/env-update source /etc/profile The same thing happens if I try to choose blackdown-jre instead of sun-jre.

There, you'll get an idea of what to expect with respect to your own system (i.e. udev etc.). You might also want to look at the articale on how to replace a running redhat system with Gentoo. Though you're trying to replace Gentoo with Gentoo, the concepts still apply. I notice you may also need to upgrade from ipchains to iptables. This is a conmpletely different topic all together.

I need a good VPN Client with easy gui - right now our school has a VPN set up on the cisco pix that works beautifully with a Microsoft VPN connection on a windows box, I need to be able to access this with my gentoo laptop as well 4. I need to be able to use a USB to Serial dongle to talk to my switches -- the adapters that I have are Triplite ones and I do have the driver disk for windows -- along with this, I need a good communications program (equivalent to hyperterm ) to use with them to talk to my switches and to my UPS Thanks folks - any pointers and/or suggestions are gladly welcomed TIM Timothy A.

Both Windows and Linux can read and write easily to vfat. FAT has a 4GB file size limit under Windows, 2GB under Linux, which makes it unsuitable for most multimedia usage. Thanks very much Neil and Walter for your advice. I think Neil is right about fat32. It also has other problems such as lack of permissions or journaling, as well as performance issues. However it is certainly the simplest way of sharing a partition between operating systems. I have installed rfsd in windows. It seems to work very well, but, unless I have missed something, it is a read-only driver. That can actually be useful if you want to access stuff from within windows without putting it at risk of virus damage. If I also mount my windows installation using the (read-only) ntfs driver under linux, then I have a way to share files in both directions, albeit not an ideal one. (I have considered using captive-ntfs for full r/w access, but I find the windows permissions don't work under linux, as far as I can tell.)

What I need help on is how to make a kernel and initramfs to plug into PXE Linux. I know how to use genkernel but what I am after here is not just how to do it but what to put in the RAMdisk. In other words I need to build a test machine with minimal file structure so that I dont have to mount the whole root from an NFS share. I only want to mount the portions with user persistent data. Any Ideas? Thanks.

My understanding was that the audio cable connected to you sound card was for when you wanted to listen to the cd and your computer was in low-power mode Either way, I have stopped installing that cable on new computers that I build and it has always worked fine for me. No you do not. XMMS can use audio out (ie plug the CDROM Audio cable into the soundcard) or DAE (Digital audio extraction), where it reads the cdrom drive as if its raw data, and does the conversion to sound in software. This results in the audio over bus that the original poster pointed out. To do this. you need to install an xmms-plugin (they did not come with my xmms version). There are two of them in portage to my knowledge: AudioCD Reader : libcdread.so CD Audio Player : libcdaudio.so Out of the two, I use CD Audio Player, because it has more features, such as Multiple CD-ROM support. This allows me to plugin in external CD-ROM's (such as USB CD-ROMS, and SCSI CD-ROMs/CD changers) and use them to play audio CD's Note that in both drivers, you need to state you want to use DAE rather then the old analog method (this is due to the fact that not all CD-ROM's have good DAE capabilities). Under CD Audio Player, you need to set Play mode to Digital audio extraction, along with configuring/checking your drive. In portage they are called: media-plugins/xmms-cdaudio = CD Audio Player and media-plugins/xmms-cdread = AudioCD Reader emerge one of them, restart xmms, and you're set ;) Happy listening! -- http://ziva-vatra.dnsalias.com/~ognen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Starting today I started to get garbled video output followed by a lock-up. I have been using the laptop as my dev platform and keeping it running 24x7. I am not sure if this is messing it up or not. It seems to stay pretty warm. I bought an extra 1GB of mem for the laptop and put that in today after the first lockup. I ran memtest for about 10 minutes and didn't see any issues. Laptops are NOT meant to run 24/7. They don't have the cooling to survive for more than a few hours. Get some fans or something to save it before you fry something. The laptop has an Intel Extreme graphics chip. Every time before the lockup, the video gets all messed up with vertical and horizontal lines. I just went in the bios and changed the CPU speed to LOW which is now 800Mhz Pentium M instead of 1.73GHz, changed the screen brightness to the lowest. I also switched the X driver from i810 to vesa. So far it seems a little more stable. However, after a recent startx, when X first comes up I see a quick flash of my previous desktop on the screen. It seems like the memory wasn't cleared and the junk left in it is displayed for a second while X is initializing. This Extreme chip uses system memory. Has anyone had issue like this? Couple times. I use a IBM X40 with the i810 drivers. Mine is a Intel Extreme Graphics 2 chip. I hate its guts. It's so non-standard it's like finding a needle in a haystack to get anything to work with it. Right now I have a problem like so: I send the machine into sleep mode. I come out of sleep mode and the screen is off. I restart X with ctrl+alt+backspace and the screen revives. Nothing I know of can restore the screen to activity without killing and then reviving X. The Intel graphics chips are still very new as far as linux support is concerned, at least in my experience. I'd give it some time. I have always been a desktop person so I am not used to these tender laptops. Do these issues sound like they are caused by over heating? Or could it be hardware? This thing is only 2-3 months old. I better not have to send it to Toshiba already. I have a Satellite M45-S2692. Stop running it 24/7! It's not *supposed* to do that! Now for the games part. I can't compile/play some of the bigger games and now I am POed : ) What games? Are there any recommendations for fun games in Gentoo that could run fine with the vesa drive?

You want three programs. Hal, D-Bus and ivman. Hal and gentoo are real easy, you basically emerge and have them start at boot. ivman is the app that listens for events and will carry out actions in a nice and easy xml file. There is a system wide config and a per-user config. You can tell it to launch totem/xine/mplayer if a DVD is inserted or mount your camera, usb key, etc. 2. Energy saver thingy - after about 10 minutes or so of inactivity, the screen shuts off under power saver -- I cant seem to find how to prevent this from happening, and could use some guidance Is it a BIOS thing?

Why is it, that use.desc contains less information about the use flags than use.local.desc? Other than that, thank you very much. Jerry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I had already looked into use.desc and I stopped there and posted my request for help. Why is it, that use.desc contains less information about the use flags than use.local.desc? The difference is that use.local.desc contains flags that are local to specific ebuilds while the flags in use.desc are system wide flags. Some flags in use.local.desc are common across 2 or even more ebuilds. I don't know why those flags aren't global flags. There may even be flags in use.local.desc that share the same name but mean very different things to different packages. Honestly, I think USE flags, as powerful as they are, are the cruftiest part of Gentoo and could be so much more powerful and ought to be so much less clumsy.

[gentoo-user] unison and the modular X
Is anyone confirm that modular xorg (7.0-r1) works with the unison file syncroniser? I am getting an error both from stable, and ~x86 unison as well as a pre-built binary from the developer. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ unison work Uncaught exception Gpointer.Null Killed by signal 1. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ I had a few glitches on the upgrade so want to check its not me before I post a bug. In the meantime, it does work with the text ui! BillK -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

When I did emerge world and carelessly etc-update (most of the cfg files were for x11) and try to boot my laptop today, I got message that eth1 is not found (eth0 is wireless) Today I tried to recompile the kernel but it did not help... Any suggestions? Best wishes, Goran. What module do you use for eth1? Is it loaded? Does your wireless work? Do you use dhcp for eth1? Post a little more info about how you had it setup when it worked and then we can work backwards from there Jim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= There's no place like 127.0.0.1 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= JimD Central FL, USA, Earth, Sol -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Justin How would you recommend changing USE flags or making them better? You should post suggestions to the devs. I think they need some fixing as well. However, I haven't really thought much about it and so have no real useful suggestions, yet.

Re: [gentoo-user] unison and the modular X
Thanks, looks like its emerge world -ep time - was trying to put it off, but as I dont know what else is broken I had better get it over with! revdep-rebuild seems almost useless these days so there is little alternative!
