[gentoo-user] Emerging UT2004
Hey everybody, This is kind of stupid problem, but I just can't seem to figure this one out. I can't emerge UT2004. I set my CD_ROOT to my cdrom (/media/hdc) and the first CD copies fine, but it never gives me time to umount and mount the second CD. It simply tries (and thinks it has success) on the rest of the CD's but I know that it just copied the data from CD1 six times. This is the first time I have ever tried to install a game from CD on linux, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks. - Steve B. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Curiously, it USED to do exactly what you said: let you swap CD's. The only way I figured out how to accomplish the install from CD's was to copy every single CD to the hard disk, which obviously takes up a lot of space and time. Like so: rsync -aP /mnt/cdrom 1 rsync -aP /mnt/cdrom 2 And so on through 6. 6 is the disk labeled install disk, I think. Then set CD_ROOT_1=/full/path/to/1 CD_ROOT_2=/full/path/to/2 CD_ROOT_ emerge ut2004 Feel free to use cp, i prefer to use rsync. The next problem you will run into (or it might come before you even get to the CD's, i forget) is that portage will try to download various large files from 3dgamers mirrors. Almost all of which time out or are unreachable, or uselessly slow. I've found that I have to go to google and look for the filename, find it somewhere else, save it to /usr/portage/distfiles and home the md5sums match. Make sure the filename is as portage expects it too, including case. There are bugs open about all of these issues, but they just haven't been solved yet. ut2004 is one of the most irritating peices of software to install on gentoo, especially from CD's, thanks to all of this. Thanks! I got everything working now. But that was a pain in the rear. Somebody should really update the ebuild in portage. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] qmail troubles
I'm trying to setup a qmail sever via the documention found at gentoo.org. I have used these instructions before and all went ok, however now I'm having problems. Everything is starting fine, but when a user tries to auth I get their clients are telling them the server quit and the following is being logged in /var/log/messages Code: Mar 3 22:24:35 zues pop3d-ssl: LOGIN FAILED, user=[EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] Mar 3 22:24:35 zues pop3d-ssl: authentication error: No such file or directory for the life of me I can't figure out where the problem is. courier-imap is being built with vchkpw the authdaemonrc config file is setup correctly (at least according to the documentation).. what else could be the problem?

[gentoo-user] qmail
I've been trying to follow several of the Qmail guides on the forums, wiki, and official documentation. I can't get any of them to work. In the past I have followed the official documenation qmail guide and everything has worked fine.. however for some reason it's simply not working anymore. I posted a message earlier with my error messages but nobody responded.. so my next question is does anybody have an update to date guide on installing Qmail with SSL/TLS only. My next solution is to use the Life with Qmail guide and go outside of portage... I would really like to avoid this solution. Thanks. V/R Steve -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] SELinux
Hey everybody, Quick question. How can I disable SELinux without modifing (recompiling) the kernel? The reason I ask is because my kernel was compiled with SELinux support, however its not active. Apparent vpopmail has issues with SELinux and I believe that I am having problems because of this. I don't have the luxury of recompiling the kernel because this is a virutal server running under Xen 2.0. Thanks! V/R Steve -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] New E-mail
All, Well the time has come to change my e-mail. I just can't see paying for 250MB of storage when I have all this free space at gmail. I should have a new gpg keys soon. rshadow [ at ] linuxquestions.net will still work for the rest of the year and messages will be forwarded to my new account. However I am not going to renew my subscription. -- Steve RShadow B -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This occured to me when I upgraded to the 2.6.11 nitro sources... after moving back to gentoo-dev-sources (or gentoo-sources now) the problem went away.

Re: default stage3 (was : [gentoo-user] Is Gentoo still on the right path?)
WTF.. I'm getting ready to rebuild my gentoo box. I have always did a stage 1 install. i was under the impression that if u used a stage 3 u couldn't muck with your CFLAGS or what not. If I'm forced to use canned binaries I might as well go with FC or Debian.. I've never listened to the Gentoo is dead comments.. but now who knows.. this is just crazy.. who came up with this stupid idea? from the sounds of it certianly not the Gentoo Community!

The latest ebuild for xdirectfb is broken the compile runs but produces no binary - seems to be related to some broken macros - see bug report below http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76167 Anyone have any tips on getting XdirectFB working on gentoo 2005? I have DriectFB and VDR all working now - just need XDirectFB to be working and its all done. Thanks a lot. Anthony. I have searched for a long time for a solution to this. I would recommended to build it yourself (althought that has never worked for me either) it might help you. But the question has been asked by a lot of people for a long time, and no solutions or comments have been suggested. Perhaps there is regex somewhere deep within Gentoo that has XDirectFB piped to /dev/null (terrible joke.. but hey its late and i'm tired). Anyways if you do find a solution and get XDirectFB built.. share the knowledge ;P -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Slightly OT: favorite window manager/desktop environ?

I was in the same position as you a couple of years ago. I tried various WM's and wasn't sure which one to stick with. I came up with the following. I used Gnome for a long time, however about six months ago I switched to KDE permantly. I do miss certian things about gnome (like better integration with D-Bus and automounting hardware), and despite the fact that I primarly program with wxWidgets and not Qt.. I still have found KDE to be the most usefull to me. I think the big change for me was when Gentoo started the split KDE ebuild's so I don't have to have a huge monolithic KDE install anymore. Just the basics and some stuff that I acctualy use. KDE is no longer a hardware/cpu hog and doesn't take much more resources than Fluxbox. However I still use fluxbox if I am going to run a game such as AA. -- Steve B.
