Re: [gentoo-user] no stinkin bootloaders!
Hi James, I banged my head a little against this problem as my new laptop has no option to turn the secure uefi off. I had no success with gentoo, but I was able to install fedora 18. Although when recompiling the kernel to use my security key, I never managed to boot it. I suspect the problem is with signing of the kernel... The guide you posted seems a lot more accurate than the one I used to follow and has pointer to other in depth articles. I think you might have a not too hard time in building your bootable kernel if you follow it. I'll give it a spin myself when I'll have some free time. Good luck and thanks for sharing!

Re: [gentoo-user] stage3 only for i486?
Stroller, i didn't knew what a chroot was back then either, but i've found in gentoo a vdery good teacher. If you are willing to learn, with gentoo you can go as deeper as you want and learn a lot. Most of the linux knowledge i have i owe it to gentoo. As far as i understand know, chroot is pretty much a cage. you confine the system in a smaller folder structure and from the inside, you cannot access the outside (while it's true the opposite). it's particularly handy to cage a webserver for instance, so if someone hacks it, they don't see the entire system, but only the portion you chrooted. when installing gentoo, you chroot into the smaller gentoo system, contiained into the booting distro, be it a livecd or another distro.

[gentoo-user] stage3 only for i486?
Hi all gentoo people! I've been away from gentoo for a while, and I'm in the process of reinstalling it today. While downloading the stage 3 I noticed that only an i486 version is available. As far as I remember, gentoo was best known, back in the days, for being fast, as it was one of the first distro to support i686... am i wrong with this? if not, why only i486 today? apart from the reasons behind the decision of shipping only an i486 stage 3, do you think it's worth the pain to recompile everything (like the old stage1) for a different arch? i have an intel i5 processor. regards Davide

You have been gone a while :-) These days we don't do the whole stage 1/2/3 thing while rebuilding the whole lot multiple times. Nowadays we just unpack a suitable stage 3 into a chroot, tweak CFLAGS, emerge -e world, then emerge all the packages you use. The stage3 tarballs are normally quite out of date so you will rebuild the whole lot anyway asap. If your workstation is also your buildhost, the bests start for CFLAGS with a reasonably recent gcc is CFLAGS=-march=native -O2 -pipe and CHOST, as always, is something you should not be touching at all. IOW, as long as you start with the desired ABI (32 vs 64 bit) your first update is going to optimize and fix things anyway. So don't wprry about it. Oh, and gentoo is fast is a nono swear word these days. That's ricing :-) Nowadays we say the benefit of gentoo is USE so you get what *you* want :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

[gentoo-user] weird problem with missing docs during emerge
Hi all, a few days ago i had to reinstall my gentoo box. while doing so, various ebuilds failed while trying to copy some documentation. I don't have the doc use flag enabled, so i found it weird that emerge was looking for it. My temporary fix was to enable the doc flag on a per package basis, but i wanted to file a bug report about it. Now, i went back in checking those ebuilds, i unmerged them, and then run emerge with the -doc useflag ( USE=-doc emerge -av package) and they don't fail anymore. So my question is, should i still file a bug report? if so, what should mention in the description? D

So I thought I'd try uninstalling the old one. This actually uninstalls the latest version libraries leaving me with a warning such as ImportError: no such module time. This is bad as you cannot use emerge at all not even to emerge python to fix things. To fix, as root: cd /root wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/Python-2.7.1.tar.bz2 tar jxvf Python-2.7.1.tar.bz2 cd Python-2.7.1 ./configure make ./python emerge python cd /root rm -rf Python-2.7.1* You are now fixed. Or replace 2.7.1 by 2.6.6 if your system has been running under Python 2.6 before the problem arose. Helmut.

Re: [gentoo-user] xorg-server/nvidia/x86-driver updated: No kbd, no mouse
Hi, something like that happened to me too, i am guilty of not having followed the guide, but i solved the problem booting from a live cd, chrooting into my gentoo and rebuilding xf86-input-* packages HTH Davide 2010/4/25 meino.cra...@gmx.de Justin jus...@j-schmitz.net [10-04-25 14:37]: On 25/04/10 14:25, meino.cra...@gmx.de wrote: Hi, I updated to the newest nvidia-drivers-195.36.24 and to xorg-1.80. Afterwards I etc-updated and recompiled the output of qlist -I -C x11-drivers and did a modprobe -r. I rebooted. X11 starts with no problem but the keyboard and the mouse were not responding. The xorg logfiles says that there are no input-devices specified and that module dri and dri2 couldn't be found. A quick look at man xorg.conf says nothing about definitions of input devices. The previous versions has had no problems with my xorg.conf, so something added with the latest update may have killed the functionality... What did I wrong? Thank you very much in advance for any help in advance! Best regards, mcc Simple question: Did you follow the official gentoo xorg-1.8 guide and did you follow the elog msgs? justin Simple answer: I followed the elog messages, which do nothing say about any extra-guide on the gentoo-site... :-/ -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
