[gentoo-user] USB *USED TO* work nicely a couple of months ago...
Now it's a struggle... 1) Main machine, AMD64K8 3000+ (running 32-bit mode). Used to be able to plug in and mount external USB drives and memory cards in the card reader. Now the mount command has to be issued twice, or sometimes even an fdisk /dev/sdb, in order to wake up the card reader. My shirtpocket drive no longer works on the machine, and neither does the big bulky external USB drive. 2) Emergency backup machine, 6-year-old Dell, 450 mhz PIII (they don't build them like that any more). USB drives used to run (well, with USB v1.1, crawl might be more accurate) on that machine. The big bulky external one still does. The shirtpocket drive doesn't. I normally store it in my safety deposit box as my offsite backup. I can still backup my main machine to the big USB drive by attaching it to the emergency machine and scp stuff to a temporary directory on the Dell, and then mount the USB drive and copy from the temporary directory at blazing USB v1.1 speed. I doubt that I had simultaneous failures in one machine's USB system and the shirtpocket USB drive. Anyone have any ideas? Has USB setup changed somehow? -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] grub,sata,savedefault and error 27
Hi group I tryed to make config file for grub to migrate from centos to gentoo, and even once it booted with saved I think. Some how it booted fith entry in config file... centos doesn't have grub-set-default so I ran grub, loaded configfile and gave command savedefault 4... I don't remember what else I have done but grub booted gentoo :D after I added: default saved fallback 0 and to new, the only 'title' title gentoo root (hd0,0) kernel /bzImage root=/dev/sdb2 savedefault fallback and it doesn't boot. I haven't got remote console so technicans had to do something. They booted kernel from grub prompt. Then I ran grub from bash configfile (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf and I tryed to boot my kernel. GRUB showed savedefault fallback Error 27: Unrecognized command ...or something like that :) Is it related to SATA or is it a bug in GRUB? Now after deleting all entrys related to save it does not boot either. SATA chipset is ICH7 what can I do? Will LILO handle SATA disk?

If user accepts fetching starts... Which would almost certainly break Sun's licence, they want to see you agree to the licence. The best emerge could do would be to load the relevant page in your browser, where you could jump through whatever hoops the licence requires. I thought emerge did something like this for some of the games packages... I thought it displayed the whole text of the license and requires the reader to accept before continuing. Yes, it does; but those I have encountered (Quake 4, for example) require you to have already bought the game to even install it (insofar as you're unlikely to install a game you can't run, because the game data files must be transferred from the CD, and the serial number from the game box must be entered before you can play). Since you have already bought the game the license is displayed via the install script, just as it would be displayed by the Windows installer before installation proceeded. But afaik, the displayed license is a part of the install script (which in the case of Quake 4, is provided by id, not by gentoo), not a part of emerge /per se/. The same thing happens, iirc, with the Flash installer, which is why you have to install it via the command line when installing manually or under another distro-- the developer-provided install script (which is what's contained in the *.rpm, basically an rpm install just unpacks the script then runs it) requires that the license be accepted before the script will proceed with the install, and if for whatever reason you're not installing from the command line (for example, SuSE users using the YAST/Konqueror integration and clicking the install with YAST button with the *.rpm selected in a Konq window) the app will not install, because you cannot accept the licence (because you can't see it, not having a term window open), and therefore the install script does not run. But as Neil said, this is not the same situation as with Sun and IBM (or Transgaming), who require you to specifically, personally, authenticate yourself *to /their/ servers* prior to downloading the binary /from/ their servers. Which emerge cannot do (authenticate each individual user to the relevant server and then download the binary on the basis of that authentication). Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
