I sort of just did a networkless install on my desktop. I only have very slow dialup at home, but access to wifi once mobile. My netbook is fairly up-to-date so I used it to download the latest install-iso, stage3, portage-latest. These I installed on the desktop then copied over all the

[gentoo-user] memory(gray matter) needs jog

Hi group, A while back I needed help with an ext2 file system that required checking every boot before mounting. The drive suffered from errors involving 'non-contiguous files'.The solution was to run (this is where things get hazy) e2fsck option option on the offender. I keep thinking it's '-i

Re: [gentoo-user] strange dmesg output - RESOLVED

Not sure this is related with the OP's problem, I have noticed that on my system I can scroll up in a console if it displays the output of a command, e.g. ls, but I cannot scroll up on the boot messages. Also, I cannot scroll up on the log messages on VT12. Is there something that I need to

[gentoo-user] xfce4 update meets kernel update and crashes

Hi group, I did a full update including xfce-4.6.1. Then I installed the new kernel, 2.6.30-r7. Now when I $startx, Xfce4 opens beautifully, just as I left it. Background image, check; Icons, check; Panel, check. Terminal open and ready to use. But there's no mouse or kbd function. X has crashed

Re: [gentoo-user] strange dmesg output - RESOLVED

So, since in the digital world, things don't just happen, can someone enlighten me, or anyone else who's interested, in the connection between the scrollback buffer and usb-storage, if any? There isn't a connection. Why do you think there is one? Because, before the scrollback buffer was

It could be some debug flag switched on in the USB storage subsystem. I'm not aware of such a subsystem. Can you give an example? Maxim

Re: [gentoo-user] strange dmesg output

Re: [gentoo-user] strange dmesg output - RESOLVED

Ok, this is too weird. While mucking around in the kernel I noticed that the scroll back buffer wasn't set. So I configured it and gave it 128 bytes to play with. Sez I, well at least I'll be able to scroll back to the start of all that verbiage. That's the only change I've made since turning

Could be over-zealous whittling. Why not use the Live DVD .config unchanged? I assumed there was no need for a 1001 modules for hardware i don't have. But there's still some things that need sorting, so it may come to that.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: kernel panic -- finding proper config diff - RESOLVED

fyi, sound card problems when updating to 2.6.30 seem to be common. Typically the boot msg is something like unknown hardware initializing by guess method The fix seem to be just to run alsaconf and follow the prompts. On 10/23/09, Maxim Wexler maxim.wex...@gmail.com wrote: Well, whatever

Well, whatever changes you made to .config fixed the original panic, so I'd start by diff'ing the first .config with the new .config (or After some more tweaking 2.6.30-r7 boots successfully, except for an error with the sound card famous which should be easy to fix /last words mw .
