Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Reducing disk usage
Over a whole system this can add up to a few dozen more MB of space usable. This Depends largely on the type of files. I've got my portage tree on a reiserfs, and in comparison to ext3, it saves couple 100 (one-zero-zero) megs! OTOH, you may not need to switch to reiser for that. It may simply be a matter of giving /usr/portage its own partition and a smaller block size. I have no data on that, though. ralf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Sound card problem
Yesterday I was sent [1] a new kernel config through this list that solved the main problem I was suffering. A new one has shown up: the kernel module i810_audio detects my sound card. Even alsa detects my sound card (alsaconf shows it's name). However, I cannot access card #0, alsamixer is incapable of accessing the sound card, I no program can play any sound. Since I already sent the lspci and the kernel config was sent by Guillermo A. Amaral (27/04/04 05:40) to the list, can somebody take a look and tell me what's going on? I tried reloading the module, but the information that it reports to /var/log/messages is not enough clue to me.

[gentoo-user] switching to graphics mode tty extremely slow
My system is extremely slow to switch back to a graphical TTY. I'm not talking about X starting up but just switching TTYs. For example, if I'm sitting at the KDM login screen and I hit CTL-ALT-F2 and switch to a text mode TTY, it takes only a second to get a login prompt. When I hit CTL-ALT-F7 to switch back to graphical mode, the screen goes black and it takes 25 to 30 seconds before I see the KDM login screen again. I certainly don't recall this process taking this long in the past. Is it normal? Running KDE 3.5 on an ATI Radeon 9600 with the open source drivers. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

This is a very simple MTA and is great if you just want to send mail. It still offers the standard UNIX sendmail script, except that it is a wrapper. So: 1) Umerge sendmail. 2) Emerge ssmtp 3) Edit /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf and set the mailhub variable to your ISP's SMTP server.

That error probably means that your /etc/fstab is incorrect. Boot the liveCD, *Code:* mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo and do *Code:* nano -w /mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab to see and change your own fstab. If it has entries like /dev/ROOT, /dev/BOOT and /dev/SWAP/ you need to change the words in capital letters to the partitions. So /dev/ROOT needs to become /dev/sda3 and so on. While you are there, check the file system types too. My /etc/fstab had /dev/ROOT in it but not /dev/BOOT. I'm guessing that the installer in trying to setup the real /etc/fstab couldn't make the transition from the meta names used above to the real raid names required to install my system i.e. /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 for /boot and /. As the installer aborts at this point, I don't know where/how to modify this. Does this seem to be on the right track -- Kind Regards Russell == www.windsorcycles.com.au bikes.no-ip.info Linux user #369094 ==
