Now this is my first time doing an install on an AMD64 architecture with hardened and so far it has gone relatively well. The thing that is giving me the most problems is Grub. When I try to emerge it in the hardened chroot the config script bombs out with an error 'C compiler cannot create executables'. One suggested solution was to disable sandbox in features and try again, no such luck. My next thought was to build a second chroot with a regular (non-hardened) tarball and build a package of grub (compiled using the static useflag) then emerge that in the hardened environment. Does this make sense? Is it likely to work or should I be doing something else? Any help would be appreciated.

[gentoo-user] linuxwacom, mi nightmare
Hi, I'm a AMD64 user, and I've installed Gentoo lots of times, in all kind of computers, but I'm stucked right now... linuxwacom seems that won't compile anymore !! and it doesn't get fixed, so I won't be able to compile X.org... and nothing, because every graphic app needs X.org to be compiled... but the best thing is that in INPUT-DEVICES I have -wacom BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER: Gentoo wants to compile that ebuild (my nightmare).

[gentoo-user] running fetchmail/procmail as a service
I want to run fetchmail as a service and I am confused about how this works. I simply want to have something that will quietly fetch and deliver mail to maildirs to users' home directories, but that can also be disabled easily when I need that bit of extra performance for something. I assume that fetchmail will first look at /etc/fetchmailrc. Will it then look at each user's $HOME/.fetchmailrc? If so, can I assume that it will deal with each user's .procmailrc suid that user? If not, what do I need to do instead? Many thanks Robert -- Robert Persson That's MISTER Scum to you. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] aRts sound server on KDE 3.5.2?
Hi Michael,I give oss-emulation backend a try in arts configuration and it really works for me (now I can run noatun again), but you said u're using xine-backend as amarok engine without arts. Well, I did tried to use gstreammer with amarok but there's a problem with the gst mad library (a friend using ubuntu has the same problem) so I give a try to xine but anytime when I try to choose xine as the engine amarok give me the follow message: xine was unable to initialize any audio-drivers. Could you please give me a advice about this setup? I can't wait to get back using amarok :)tks,On 4/19/06, Michael Schreckenbauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Am Mittwoch, 19.

Re: [gentoo-user] Deleted /boot
Here's a little more info that might inspire some ideas out there in gentoo land. Since my /boot partition was possibly in a generally unhappy state, I booted the 2006.0 livecd, did a mkfs /dev/sda1 (my /boot partition), then put grub and kernel stuff back on /boot. I was confident this would do it, but no go. Just to be sure nothing was left out, I even went through the grub set up process again as Daniel recommended in another post in this thread. Still no change. The boot process continues just prior to the INIT 2.86 line when the init.d stuff is kicked off. While booted with the livecd, I checked and /sbin/init really is there (mine, not the livecd one). But when I tried to pass init=/sbin/init as a kernel arg in grub.conf, I got the same panic along with a message that /sbin/init couldn't be executed (or something similar - I forgot to write it down). But since I only hosed /boot and then reinstalled grub and kernel, I'm not sure why I'm not in business yet. Any ideas? Bueller? Bueller?

[gentoo-user] dvdrip: significant frame loss during rip
I am using dvdrip. Every time out of three titles I have tried so far, the ripping phase always gives an error at the end, such as: It seems that transcode ripping stopped short. The movie has 187351 frames, but only 152564 were ripped. This is most likely a problem with your transcode/libdvdread installation, resp. a problem with this specific DVD. This number varies per title, but it's the same every time on a given title. Curiously, the VOB files it comes up with after the rip certainly have the full movie. But after transcoding, a few chapters are always missing. This always starts at one chapter, and ends at the end of a slightly later chapter. None of this makes sense to me. I have tried on multiple systems, and the same thing happens. No errors in dmesg or other system logs.

Re: [gentoo-user] 64bit vs 32bit
My understanding is that the major advantage of the 64-bit processors is for memory address space (4Gigs of virtual memory space without PAE, technically 48 bits of address space, which is something like 128Terrabytes of addressable memory). There must be some advantage associated with being able to hold two long ints in one register (or some such relationship there).
