[gentoo-user] Cannot unsubscribe
I sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which bounced with a notice:_Recipient_address_rejected:_User_unknown_in_local_recipient_table. Consequently, I'm still getting list mail. Not sure anyone here with a clue for the clueless, but if so . . . . Thanks. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] CD trouble - can't read linux discs.

Can you read (without mounting) knoppix cd on the laptop with something like dd if=your_cd_device of=/dev/null ? No. But it's getting weird. I tried mounting a straight data disc - the gentoo package one - and it mounted fine. So, I thought maybe the problem was just with bootable discs. Trying file -s, the system froze. I rebooted. Now, I have no /dev/hdc at all and lost /dev/dsp, too. So, something's wrong with udev. It seems my entire system is crumbling. I'd commit the heresy of reinstalling if I could boot off a CD. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Gentoo penguins found eating apples.
From: http://www.neoseeker.com/news/story/5381/ Linux Boots on Intel-Based Mac Matt Horne - Thursday, February 16th, 2006 | 2:31PM (PST) Gentoo successfully run on 17 iMac Core Duo With the recent surge to find alternative means of OS software for your computer and electronic devices, the great minds over at Mactel-Linux have been successful in booting a version of Linux on the new Intel-based 17 iMac. The modified Linux kernel has been successfully run from a USB-based hard drive and loads the Gentoo distro. More information from the group will be released this weekend. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Phantom libcap?
emerge -uDvp world listed net-libs/libcap as upgrading from 0.8.3-r1 to 0.9.3. However, the Gentoo database has no such animal, but rather sys-libs/libcap. Locally, eix libcap also lists only sys-libs/libcap-1.10-r5. The net-libs version is not in /usr/portage/net-libs. There just doesn't appear to be a net-libs/libcap, even though emerge shows an installed version. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] emerge --oneshot vs emerge --uDvp differences
emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =dev-lang/python-2.3.5-r2, as directed in the GLSA, returns a download for xemacs, which I do not now or ever had installed. It is not in use flags. However, an emerge -uDvp python doesn't even mention xemacs. Any clue as to why the difference? Any problems if the --oneshot is not used? Thanks. -- Ed Jabbour -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] KDE 3.4 disk access
I installed KDE 3.4.1 using the split ebuilds. At the kdm login screen, there is no disk activity. When logged in, however, no matter which user, the disk is constantly being accessed. top shows no unusual activity - not to my eyes, anyway. If I log into KDE 3.3, the disk is quiet. How might I discover what is running to cause the disk access? Thanks. -- Ed Jabbour -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] xine cannot find /dev/hdc
After a recent emerge -uDv system, which upgraded xine-lib, I cannot use xine to watch dvds anymore. It cannot find /dev/hdc. The output from running xine from the console is at http://rafb.net/paste/results/ac0MJP75.html. I've tried downgrading and re-emerging to no avail. I'm wondering if this is related somehow to udev, but I don't know where to look for that. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Haven't got any more time but will look at it this evening ... If you emerged the nvidia stuff, you got the newest versions. Do you have the RIVA TNT2 by any chance? If so, portage now has 1.0.7664, which acc/to NVidia is not compatible with the TNT2. I use 7174, which works fine. This would explain why nv works, but nvidia doesn't, and also why your X used to work, but doesn't now. -- Ed Jabbour -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Strangley my video card is a RIVA TNT2 :) I checked Nvidias website, apparently TNT2 is OK with *1.0-7667 so I will give it a go. Thanks for the tip, I will let you know how it goes The following is from the 1.0-7667/README.txt: = Below are the legacy GPUs that are no longer supported in the unified driver. These GPUs will continue to be maintained through the special legacy NVIDIA GPU driver releases. NVIDIA chip name Device PCI ID ------ RIVA TNT 0x0020 RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro 0x0028 RIVA TNT2 Ultra0x0029 === The same list is in the 7664 Readme.txt. The 7174 lists TNT2 as supported. shrug So it goes. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Why are these modules loading?

[gentoo-user] NFS problems - Linux OSX
Mac OSX is the server - 192.168.1.20; Linux the client - 192.168.1.4.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo source kernels
