[gentoo-user] Native Language Support
Hi, I have a mail server with UK/US locales support only. Access to console have limited number of users only. Do I need NLS support? What are consequences if I switch off NLS flag in installed packages? As I understand NLS gives man pages and docs in few languages. Correct? -- Sergey -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem compiling ati-drivers-8.35.5
Hello Herbert, Here is a clue :-) The option -l is a GCC flag that says which library you will dynamically link to your binary. So, -lGL means your linker (ld) will need GL library. The error above is due to two possibilities: 1- You don't have GL library 2- Your GL library is not in the right place it should be. Try emerging media-libs/ftgl. This may solve your problem.

That's an universal scientific concept. Read a bit on Falsifiability of theories to grab the basics. Don't, if you're a religious hardliner. If the person has a second system and sets up a flat hub and the ethernet in stealth mode, you can sniff the ethernet I/O all day long and use a variety of tools to discern if nefarious activities abound on a given system. Sure it's a bit of work, but all hacked systems I've ever seen use the system to ethernet I/O. And there's your assumption that you can't prove correct. They can encrypt that traffic, but if you know what should/not be traversing the ethernet, there is no way to hide an actively compromised system. Wrong. You might be practically right since most rootkits use means to communicate, but they might just collect data instead or even just encrypt all your documents and display the bank account number to deposit money for getting the private key for decryption. BTW, this is not about scaring people, but to make them aware that there is no absolute fail-prove solution to any problem -- since 100% fail-prove is an logically invalid concept. But I'm pretty confident that the OP isn't dealing with a hacked machine. I just jumped on the rootkit discussions, cause many people talking about rootkits neither know how rootkits work, nor do they grasp the theories behind rootkit detection. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It's a good idea to have more than one mirror in /etc/make.conf, giving more chances of getting the file you need before hitting the upstream server.

Re: [gentoo-user] GRUB error
On Tuesday 07 August 2007 20:40, cscscscscs cscscscscs wrote: First of all sorry if my English is not perfect. No worries, neither is mine. ;-) I become a little bit upset sucking installing Gentoo Linux throughout 3 days. There was several errors during the install process (networkless, installer-dialog), so I was beginning to be afraid of memory-module errors, motherboard failure etc. I ran memory and other tests: everything is OK with my computer. However, the install succeeded only for the sixth time. It took me 3 times to install Gentoo from a stage 1 and I was not getting any overheating problems with my PC. If you try to install it on a laptop, or a PC which is has cooling fans covered in fluff and dust in the middle of the summer, you may well be experiencing overheating problems. 'Now' the main problem is that GRUB returns with error code 15. I've read the documentation: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml ; however it didn't help. The kernel image is where it must be. Grub error 15 means that the drive and partition are correct, but the file in question (your kernel image) is not found. In the first instance I can think of two possibilities: 1. You've made a typographic error when you entered the name of your kernel (kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.19-gentoo-r5) in grub.conf. This is easy to check. Mount boot with a live CD and ls the contents of it. Then check the name of the kernel character-by-character. 2. When you installed your kernel (copied your kernel image in /boot) you had not mounted your /boot partition. This means that all your /boot fs has been installed in your / partition. It is also easy to check. Unmount /boot and then ls the contents of it. If you can see a kernel image then this is your problem. Mount /dev/sdb5 on a different mount point (e.g. mkdir /mnt/test) and then cp -a /boot /mnt/test. List everything under /mnt/test and compare with all files and directories under /boot. As long as access rights are correct for each file and directory you can rm -Rf /boot/* I have got two HDD-s with SATA interface. My system is installed on sdb. Here are my partitions, beginning from the 0. cylinder: First: sdb5 ext2 /boot Second: sdb6 ext3 / Third: sdb7 ext3 /home Fourth:sdb2 swap As other Linux distributions boots fine from logical partitions I think this shouldn't be the reason. That's right. This is not the reason. (After sdb2 there are 2 more primary data partition (with no influence to the system)). I think GRUB is in the MBR of sdb. (One thing is 100%: the MBR of sda remains untouched, however the installer hasn't asked where to install it.) If Grub is in the MBR of sdb then it must be chainloaded from the MBR of sda, or assuming that you have Grub also installed in the MBR of sda then copy your grub.conf entry to the /boot filesystem that the MBR of sda boots from. grub.conf: default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd1,4)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Gentoo Linux root (hd1,4) kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sdb6 doscsi initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 Everything looks to be good, but I have no idea what does root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 mean and why appears 'ramdisk'. Google for initrd Reading through many pages about Gentoo linux, and it's power, freedom, choices, package management ...etc. this distribution looks like very fine. You'll realise how fine it is when you learn how to fix it without reinstalling. Gentoo has (almost) self-healing properties . . . :-) I'm now totally depressed The last thing for the rest is reading the 100 pages documentation of GRUB. It's very complicated for as an 'beginning difficult'. You can try info grub - it is a bit more condensed (but I am not sure if it is up to date). Hope this helps. -- Regards, Mick pgpeDyvG0h5y3.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] {OT} Overheated, which part is damaged?
My power supply's fan died and ended up really elevating the temperature in the case during a qt compile. Now I'm seeing all kinds of strange and colorful artifacts on the screen, even after the system was powered off for several hours with an external fan blowing on it. Is that definitely the video card? - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] VE-225 cable
Hello, Previously it has been recommended to get a VE-225 cable for a variety of uses. I'm trying to salvage the contents of a hard drive, from a system that will not boot. Grub 1.5 starts up, but it's like there's nothing there. (The system is so old it does not have bios that allows booting from any kid of CD). Since I got this new toy, I figured I'd give it a whirl. It has a usb2.0 port, a connector that fits right on the hard drive's ide port and a power supply for the drive, all connected. The device looks like this in usbview: USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge Manufacturer: JMicron Serial Number: 7D5776281303 Speed: 480Mb/s (high) USB Version: 2.00 Device Class: 00(ifc ) Device Subclass: 00 Device Protocol: 00 Maximum Default Endpoint Size: 64 Number of Configurations: 1 Vendor Id: 152d Product Id: 2338 Revision Number: 1.00 Config Number: 1 Number of Interfaces: 1 Attributes: c0 MaxPower Needed: 2mA Interface Number: 0 Name: usb-storage Alternate Number: 0 Class: 08(stor.)

Obviously there's a little bit more to it. The box says the company is cables Unlimited.
