[gentoo-user] screen resolution and aspect ratio change
I have very vanilla hardware and when I just booted the resolution appears lower (icons bigger, jpg's blurry) and the aspect ratio is off (icons are taller than usual). The screen resolution is currently 960x600, which I don't recall ever having even heard of. If it was 1020xwhatever, which I suspect it probably was, would that information be logged somewhere? It's a built-in video card, but, I guess, could be a hw problem. The monitor settings don't offer a resolution setting. -Thufir

It's antithetical to Linux, FOSS and Gentoo to have umpteen users doing the same process umpteen times instead of doing it once, centrally.

In this second case, it would even make sharing the package list faster, since the only current method is sharing it over NFS. I understand that doing so could bloat Portage dependencies, but it is, IMHO, a good way to improve its speed. This is an interesting idea. if portage were to use a database, there could be, for instance, a ruby on rails app for a interface! :) -Thufir -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I did a networkless install from the live CD which went smoothly, but I think it brings some inherent issues with it; for instance, the above issues with blocked packages and so forth. A bigger issue, which I have (had) a different thread going on was hardware recognition. While mucking about with GNOME (I took the easy out and just did emerge gnome --unmerge; emerge gnome to fix some sort of bonobo error) I caught sight of references to HAL. This makes me think that on a low-level the packages required for recognizing CD-ROM and CD-R/W drives, and probably USB ports, simply isn't functioning or isn't installed correctly. I'm not particularly motivated to deal with it at the moment, but maybe I could get some background general information on this.

[gentoo-user] strange beeps from windows
I almost strictly use GNOME, and since configuring ALSA notice this annoyance that many events from Pidgin cause beeps through the speakers (when Pidgin starts and it auto-joins an IRC channel or someone addresses a message to me, or IM's me, etc.). The beeps also are caused by non- Pidgin events, it's just that Pidgin is the worst offender. These beeps are through the soundcard/speaker, it's different from the system beep. I've disabled many beeps and tried many permutations of the sound configurations within GNOME to no avail.

[gentoo-user] 7. Configuring the Kernel
I'm currently getting error 15 from GRUB, of the Code Listing 4.2: Grub Output - Booting an Entry variety. I can boot into either Gentoo or Fedora, but not into Gentoo with the new kernel. The Gentoo doc's say to First, verify that the root and setup lines you have used are correct. I don't know how to verify that the root and setup lines are correct. The only difference between entries for the two Gentoo kernels are the kernels specified in GRUB. The /boot/ partition would look to be (hd1,0) and the root partition would look to be /dev/ hdb3; at a minimum these work for the genkernel so should work for the new kernel. Perhaps it's a naming convention? I gave the kernel a name meaningful to me, not knowing what other name to give it version wise. I can always recompile the kernel if necessary. Could it be a modules issue? I didn't understand that step of configuring the kernel. However, it might be something else, as it would seem to me that it would still at least *start* to boot and not give this particular error: Code Listing 4.2: Grub Output - Booting an Entry Booting 'gentoo Linux' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20 root=/dev/hda3 vga=792 Error 15: File not found Press any key to continue... although some of the particulars are different.

[gentoo-user] Re: 7. Configuring the Kernel
To clarify: Fedora is on hda, gentoo on hdb. The /boot/grub.conf file boots both fine; this partition is mounted seperately, it's referenced correctly as (hd1,0) meaning the hdb, the first partition. Both Gentoo kernels are in the same partition, same directory reflected in mount as: /dev/hdb1 on /boot type ext2 (rw) Which correlates with the GRUB entry of (hd1,0). The root filesystem is the same for both kernels, this is reflected in mount as: /dev/hdb3 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime) Again, this matches the GRUB entry. The full mount command shows: arrakis ~ # arrakis ~ # mount /dev/hdb3 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec) /dev/hdb1 on /boot type ext2 (rw) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on /mnt/VolGroup00/LogVol00 type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,devmode=0664,devgid=85) arrakis ~ # arrakis ~ # cat /etc/gentoo-release Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 arrakis ~ # arrakis ~ # date Sat Nov 17 11:05:14 PST 2007 arrakis ~ # arrakis ~ # The *exact* wording, the particulars of the error message GRUB gives differs slightly from the example I posted.

I'm just noticing (after a bit of sleep) that the form is slightly different from the example I gave: Booting 'gentoo Linux' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20 root=/dev/hda3 vga=792 Error 15: File not found Press any key to continue... in that the line specifying the kernel has (hd0,0)/boot/kernel... in the example, but the error message I give doesn't have the correlating (hd1,0)/boot/ prefix. I would say that this is why the file cannot be found. Also, it occurred to me that the genkernel which works (currently in use) could just be copied to genkernel2 in the same location, then a corresponding entry in GRUB could be made. What would it mean if the same error occurred when GRUB went to boot this genkernel2? I'm thinking that there's some sort of missing piece. It's good to know that it's not a module problem, and this makes sense. If it were a module then presumably, please correct me, the kernel would at least be found and a different error message would occur during the actual boot. This message is within GRUB, I can press a key and boot a different GRUB entry. thanks, Thufir -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You seem to be 'mixing and matching' disks and partitions here. You now refer back to the Gentoo /boot partition. Decide which one disk/partition you want to boot and pass the correct line for it to the Grub bootloader (which is firing up from the MBR of hda). Regarding the genkernel (which I have never used) it makes use of a initrd to bring up the necessary modules at boot up (before the kernel has been loaded). Here's an example error message from the Gentoo docs: Code Listing 4.2: Grub Output - Booting an Entry Booting 'gentoo Linux' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20 root=/dev/hda3 vga=792 Error 15: File not found Press any key to continue... the above isn't my error message, it's a sample from the Gentoo doc's which illustrates (what I thought to be) the form of the error message I see. My error message is as follows: Booting 'gentoo Linux' root (hd1,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /kernel-has-alsa root=/dev/hdb3 Error 15: File not found Press any key to continue... The significance, to my mind, is that in the line which specifies the kernel, there's no mention of *where* it's looking. -Thufir -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I have a run of the mill USB optical mouse which has worked fine for several years. Recently it started stalling , hanging or freezing from gentoo. This morning I booted into Fedora and it seemed to work fine (for a few minutes). The pattern is that a window is opened, then the arrow cannot be moved around the screen, but the buttons and scroll wheel work. Could this be a USB suspend issue?

I have the USE flag in place, and a 32 and 64 bit plugin appears available, but still nothing shows for about:plugins. The fetch restriction appears when downloading its documentation, not the jvm itself; if you don't have doc use flag enabled for jvm you won't download it, and hence, you won't experience its fetch restrictions. I wasn't aware of this. If ufed is properly configured, then the JVM is directly fetched? :) -Thufir -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If you want different content to be served from localhost as opposed to another fqdn, then just setup virtualhosts in apache. For leafnode, configure /etc/hosts and /etc/conf.d/hostname for arrakis.doesntexist.org, the FQDN, then configure apache so that localhost works for MySQL (and whatever else uses it)? Pragmatically, first get leafnode working, then configure apache so that apache also delivers localhost? thanks, Thufir -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/phpinfo.php which apache2 apparently is
treating as a text file.
Apparently I'm not alone in not finding gentoo documentation on this, as
I did come across:
What I hadn't noticed when I emerged phpmyadmin, and none of the
documentation I had read had told me, was there is a script installed by
phpmyadmin located at:
/usr/share/webapps/phpmyadmin/2.7.0_p1/sqlscripts/
mysql/2.7.0_p1_create.sql
that needs to be run to setup a database for phpmyadmin.
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.gentoo.user/msg/236092fa01647151?
dmode=source
But:
localhost ~ #

total 0
localhost ~ #
localhost ~ # date
Thu Aug 16 00:44:45 PDT 2007

For some reason Apache2 isn't running php?
