IIRC one of them depends on 'dnotify' which is a kernel-patch, included in gentoo-sources at least. As 'dnotify' changes frequently (for new kernels) the stable dbus-hal-ivman doesn't work with 2.6.13, but the testing (~x86) work OK. It's logical as 2.6.12-rX is still the stable one (i'm with 2.6.13 now). Warning: don't use this with vfat-fs (USB-pens) as it can damage them - sync option used (workaround needed, then things work). Search/read for more info, my experince here.

[gentoo-user] partitioning from Knoppix
I'm trying to reinstall gentoo, after serious troubles due to hd failure (I fear) or filesystem corruption (I hope). So, I booted Knoppix and I'm trying to repartition hda. I deleted all partitions and tried to save changes, before making new partitions. Problem is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] fdisk /dev/hda The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 9733.

Re: [gentoo-user] partitioning from Knoppix
I'm virtually certain re-writing the partition table is going to require a reboot. BTW, over the years I've had several drives with the over 1024 cylinder message, and it has never been a problem with many versions of linux, including Gentoo, so that shouldn't be a problem using any modern distro.

Re: [gentoo-user] partitioning from Knoppix [SOLVED]
Sorry to answer myself, but it may be usefull for others... Knoppix uses any swap partition it finds. Since /dev/hda2 was swap (which doesn't show in mount, of course), the device was busy. swapoff /UNIONFS/dev/hda2 did release the drive. I partitioned with sfdisk, but fdisk -l /dev/hda is consistent. -- Jorge Almeida -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

first off all, you should never mix ata and atapi devices (harddisks and
opticals) on one channel. That is known for making problems.
Your error message could be have two origins: your cable is defective or not
properly seated (easy to check), or your harddisk is on its way to the great
vendor in the sky.
Get a different cable. Connect the drive with this new cable. ONLY connect the
drive, not the burner. Does the error still occurs? Bring back the harddisk,
where you bought it.
Well, I tried to connect the drive to another cable with success.
However, with this cable, which seemed to be an older one, the drive was
restricted to UDMA(33).
My theory about these messages now is the following:
The HD I'm talking about is not directly connected to the ide-cable, but
via a rather old 'HD-Box'. Thus I have:
Controller-Modern IDE-Cable-HD-Box-Old IDE-Cable-HD.
I think that the 'Old IDE-Cable' part is causing the troubles. However I
can't verify that without rearranging a bulk of ide-drives.
I'll buy myself a new box and tell you about the results.
Thanks for your hints, Matthias

I don't think is a kernel issue, because emerge and so on can show colors (green, red, and so on...). What I'm wondering is just exactly where is white set to equal 8? I suspect that splash doesn't know what 8 means, so it's using the default color (which is probably gray). What you're talking about sounds much more like terminal settings (~/.Xresources settings) rather than splash configuration (from looking at a random config file in /etc/splash). What configuration file are you using, and what does it say? Holly Well, you only have to go to http://www.bootsplash.org, in the section Config files, because I'm editing 1024x768.cfg of a theme... and you'll see what means 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8... in fgcolor and bgcolor variables.

[gentoo-user] xml mode for emacs
Hi all, I emerged nxml to edit xml files with emacs; it works great, but when I open an xml file it is sgml xml-mode, I have to switch to nxml by hand; this seems to be new since some time ago nxml was the default mode. In the site-gentoo.el file which is generated every time a packet from app-emacs is installed, I have the following: ;;; psgml site-lisp configuration (autoload 'sgml-mode psgml Major mode to edit SGML files. t) (autoload 'xml-mode psgml Major mode to edit XML files. t) (setq sgml-catalog-files '(CATALOG /etc/sgml/catalog)) and later: ;;; nxml site-lisp configuration (add-to-list 'load-path /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/nxml-mode) (load /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/nxml-mode/rng-auto.el) (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '(\\.\\(xml\\|xsl\\|xsd\\|rng\\|xhtml\\)\\' . nxml-mode) auto-mode-alist)) These instructions seem contradictory, how should I eliminate the first instruction? tia -- Jean Magnan de Bornier |Cours Victor Hugo e-mots: jean at bornier.net|13980 Alleins France T 08 70 39 34 03 |P 06 09 17 35 87 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The short answer is yes. You might be able to recover it by booting from
a CD distro (gentoo minimal, Knoppix, Fedora Rescue, etc.) and forcing
fsck to fix it. That might last long enough to get everything important
off of it. Occasionally you can run badblocks (with the -w option, this
will take a long time on large and/or slow disks) and find any bad
sectors. Be sure to use the -o option so you can feed the result into
mke2fs when you re-format. The -w option is destructive so make sure you
recover what you need first. If you had trouble with it before, it is
probably only hours from being a paperweight (if it isn't already).
Hope this helps.

[gentoo-user] Tablet PC calibration
I'm using a Toshiba Portage3500 and I'm trying to get the Tablet bit working. I've done the necessary recompiles of the kernel and Xorg, emerged serialset and linuxwacom, and it all sort of works. If I move the pen over the screen the cursor moves around, the problem is the cursor is not underneath the nip of the pen its some random distance away. I have wacomcpl installed but the calibration tool just pops up two squares, one at the top/left and one at the bottom/right of the screen, with cross-hairs in the middle. I assume I just touch them with the pen (that's what I do to calibrate my Zaurus) but nothing happens. I can't find any help or manual to tell me how it's supposed to work.

[gentoo-user] oops with 2.6.13-gentto-r3
I just emerged gentoo-sources and obtained 2.6.13-gentoo-r3. I copied over my .config from linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 then executed make make install#I don't have any modules When I booted an oops occurred, the output of dmsg is attached as is my .config. The .config contains two variables not use in 2.6.13. I am fairly sure no harm is done leaving the variables there, but I did a run with them removed and an oops still occurred. I think my .config is fairly vanilla. I do have an SMT intel processor (dell 5150--/proc/cpuinfo is below).
