[gentoo-user] broken install from LiveCD-2006.0
G'day,
Using the graphical installer on the LiveCD, I've encountered several
problems - 2 minor and 1 major.
Minor problem: after being prompted for ethernet configuration (static
in my case) and modifying the DNS address (from 127.0.0.1
192.168.0.1 ... to 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.2), /etc/resolv.conf is not
updated, i.e. it doesn't have an entry for my name server.
This is easily fixed, but I'm reporting it for completeness.
Minor problem: the LiveCD allows emacs to be run from its menus.
However it's not usable since characters aren't displayed in a readable
manner. I'm guessing that fonts aren't configured.
Major problem:
GLI: ... - Fetching and unpacking tarball:
GLI: ... - Exception received during 'Unpack stage tarball':
GLIUtilityError :FATAL: get_uri: File does not exist or URI
is invalid!
GLI: ... - Traceback (most recent call last):
GLI: ... - File "/opt/installer/GLIClientController.py", line 165,
in run
self._install_steps[self._install_step]['function']()
GLI: ... - File "/opt/installer/GLIArchitectureTemplate.py", line 306,
in unpack_stage_tarball
GLIUtility.fetch_and_unpack_tarball(self._install_profile.get_stage_tarball_uri(),
self._chroot_dir, temp_directory=self._chroot_dir,
keep_permissions=True, cc=self._cc)
GLI: ... - File "/opt/installer/GLIUtility.py", line 557,
in fetch_and_unpack_tarball
if not get_uri(tarball_uri, temp_directory + "/" +
tarball_filename, cc):
GLI: ... - File "/opt/installer/GLIUtility.py", line 478,
in get_uri
raise GLIException("GLIUtilityError", 'fatal', 'get_uri',
"File does not exist or URI is invalid!")
GLI: ... - GLIException: GLIUtilityError :FATAL: get_uri:
File does not exist or URI is invalid!
As can be seen, the installer is failing to find the tarball it wants.
FWIW, installprofile.xml contains:
installprofile.xml
...
file:///mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20060123.tar.bz2
and the tarball _does_ exist.
Any tips on how to get the install going?
Thanks.
David

[gentoo-user] cannt open root device ?
Hello everybody : I know maybe my question is just a piece of cake for you , but I have struggled with it for 4 days , and I didn't get any answer from the google and the archive . So I came here ! And my problem is that : I use VMware , and install gentoo linux on the vm which hold a scsi disk . I compile the linux kernel with scsi support in the kernel self , but when boot up the kernel panic with the bellow message : VFS: Cannot open root device "803" or unkonw-block(8,3) Please append a correct "root=" boot option But I have a line in my lilo.conf : root=/dev/sda3 I have recompile the kernel for many times , but it panic everytime .

[gentoo-user] Xgl, KDE, gnome
Howdy, After playing with the Kororaa Xgl Live CD, then with Xorg 7 entering ebuild testing, I decided to give Xgl a try. The xorg 7 upgrade went extremely smooth. Big THANK YOU to those responsible! The wiki instructions for installing Xgl worked too. Then I discovered what gnome-window-decorator does in KDE. Not pretty. :-( I figured I could live: * with old fashioned decorations, * without my background image, * with my panel stretching across both monitors, * with windows opening centered on the desktop vs on a display, * with some brain dead right mouse desktop popup menu. But I couldn't live with a dead X the next morning. So bye-bye Xgl. OK, off to the net to see what I could find, which distilled down to use gnome. Next gen KDE should have similar features. Well, I've never really gave gnome a try, so maybe it's not as bad as it looks. :-) Installed gnome. Now what I'd really like is to be able to switch between X+KDE and Xgl+gnome sessions. I don't really see how to do this with one display manager. Not sure how to configure to run multiple display managers. Currently I use xdm to run kdm. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Roy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [OT] Re: [gentoo-user] Intel Core Duo Processor - Anyone?
Just my .02c, but it seems like the 64-bit processors come with more hype than benefits. Not that the 64-bit move is a bad thing at all, but I mean it just seems like people tend to expect much more out of them than what they should. It would seem like a more accurate, but oversimplified explaination would be that it simply allows for other improvements within the computer, but it does not improve anything on it's own. For instance, allowing >4GB ram, which in turn gives better performance. From what I've read, there are improvements in certain things that are specific to number crunching, like a database with mathematical formulas. However, for a desktop processor, the difference is going to be barely noticeable, if any, especially since most desktops don't use more than 4 gigs of ram. It definitely seems to be a difficult thing to explain though due to the nature of the processor. Most people think simply 'more numbers = more speed', but that's not really case, and surely not the point. Since around the mid 90's, processor speeds have steadily increased, but in the last couple of years, that increase has halted. Supposedly, the speeds have been maxed out for the size of the processors, so that's why the manufacturers are trying different routes, like hyperthreading, dual core, multi-core, and 64-bit. None of these features directly improve performance, but they do increase it's capabilities. More specifically, they allow the computer to do MORE tasks better, instead of focusing on speeding up tasks. That's not a bad thing really, because it's nice to be able to do multiple things simultaneously, like burning a cd while listening to mp3s and playing games on a LAMP server that's running emerge -u world without any degradation in performance in any of the processes. That kind of performance seems to be what is intended with these different avenues that the chip makers are taking. That is not to say that single tasks will perform any better, and I think the lack of discerning the difference is causing a lot of confusion for most people, especially when they aren't familiar with low level programming.

You know, "games" includes stuff released before January 2006 =^> The 486/100 laptop I bought for EUR 150 some 8 years ago runs Zork just fine. In C64 emulation if you like.
