[gentoo-user] NTFS vs ext3
hey, i was wondering what would be the best solution for a shared data partition, it's a 100GB partition, and FAT is not an option, so should i use ext2 (or ext3) with one of the tools on windows? and which tool would you recommend I'm currently using ext2fsd to read my ext2 backup harddrive i think it has ext3 write support.. Or should i go the other way around and put my data on an NTFS partition, and if i do that is the NTFS write support stable by now.. it's been a long time since i dual booted so back then NTFS support was not really a good idea.. thank you in advance -- Ghaith Hachem TristMoon Staff TristMoon.com
Re: [gentoo-user] ethernet link speed
thank you for your reply,i will try that setup when i get home, but for now the network seems functioning on 100mbps though sometimes it disconnects unexpectedly however it has been stable for 2 days,anyway i was trying to force that setting as instructed from the ISP, though i never had to do that before, so i guess if i'm still going to face problem with the 100 mbps i'll have to force it.

[gentoo-user] ethernet link speed
hello,i need to get my ethernet link speed to 10Mbits full duplex i'm using mii-tool to do it but is there a way to do it before net.eth0 starts at boot, maybe some line to add in /etc/conf.d/net i added the normal command i'm usign though it didn't seem to work, i then added it to /etc/init.d/net.eth0 i think it should work there i havn't tested yet but is there any better way to do that thank you.-- Ghaith HachemTristMoon StaffTristMoon.com
Re: [gentoo-user] ethernet link speed
well actually it can function on 100 mbps but it would be extremly slow for some reason (really long cable) so the isp just told me to keep the link at 10 mbps.On 6/6/06, Joshua Schmidlkofer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why isn't it auto-detecting the link speed?-- Ghaith HachemTristMoon StaffTristMoon.com

I've had similar problems (not with this graphical live CD, since I installed Gentoo before it existed, but with X applications and X itself), because I have an ATI card. ATI cards do do that (just shut down the monitor) if 1) using the wrong drivers (radeon when card model is one above the 9(2/5?)50 (sorry, can't remember which model is the stopper for the Open Source drivers), and/or 2) DGA is enabled for the fglrx drivers (this will do exactly what you described; it has many times for me, and it is just one of the many PITAs with the fglrx drivers). The thing is-- in theory, I have no evidence to support this-- that GNOME (I am a GNOME user as opposed to a KDE user, though I don't use either of those DE's regularly or first during a new install due to their size) appears to require 3D support be working in order to load properly. Or at least, the hardware acceleration must be working if you're using drivers that supposedly support said acceleration. As I said, I have no evidence for this /per se/; it's just my theory based on experience. If you're using the 'vesa' drivers (which don't support 3D), I betcha GNOME will load fine (at least it always does for me), but as soon as you load drivers in your X config that are supposed to support hardware acceleration/OpenGL/3D, GNOME will break if that support is broken (even though, afaik, no basic operation of GNOME actually uses 3D-- that's why this is a theory and seemingly rather a crackpot one, but it's the only theory that fits my experience). So I would suggest first changing your xorg.conf to load the vesa drivers, which should load (that's what they're for, default drivers that should always be able to load and display), then editing your xorg.conf to resolve the obvious problem that it must have. Some option or driver causes your video card to stop sending a signal. I know that =9600 ATI cards do this when DGA is enabled on the fglrx drivers, and also that =9(2/5?)50 cards do strange things when using the radeon drivers which don't support these models for hardware acceleration, as opposed to the fglrx drivers which do-- but the LiveCDs will tend to (in my experience) recognize my 9800SE as an ATI card and load the radeon drivers incorrectly because the fglrx drivers that the card needs are not open source... and the radeon drivers don't actually work properly for my card. But you may have a different brand of card, or it could be a different option causing this. You might want to copy /var/log/Xorg.0.log to a backup location before you try to start X with the vesa drivers (since the vesa drivers should load correctly, it will overwrite the log with the errors and you need to know what they are, so backup the log with the errors first, is that I'm suggesting). But the first thing we'd have to know is what is the video card, and what are the loaded drivers; then we can work on things like what video options you set in the kernel, and what you've got for modelines and the like in xorg.conf (though I doubt that the issue is modelines, since that just knocks you out fo X completely with a no screens found error, not kills your signal between video card and monitor while leaving X actually running).

Without that information, you'll have to look for the filesystem superblock (I hope you weren't using NTFS), determine what cylinder that's on and start the partition there -- you can probably figure out the size of the filesystem from the superblock data, too. This is, of course, assuming you haven't written any data to the space used by the filesystem. In that case, you will almost certainly be unable to perform a full restore and have likely lost a large amount of your data, if not all. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Cheers, Ghaith -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] really weird way to install
hello i was trying to reinstall gentoo after i changed harddrives but i have a little time problem i cant' keep my system unusable for more then an hour i have windows XP and i have write support to my ext3 partitions is there a way i can use cygwin to install the sytem? it's probably impossible but i just want to make sure. -- Cheers, Ghaith -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] really weird way to install
i was using a delivery service to get my harddrive (replace it in my case) the first had some problems and the delivery guy wouldn't wait for me so i had no chance to even make a full back up i lost a lot of data in the process including my gentoo and some homeworks On 2/7/06, Iain Buchanan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, 2006-02-07 at 10:38 +0200, Ghaith Hachem wrote: hello i was trying to reinstall gentoo after i changed harddrives but i have a little time problem i cant' keep my system unusable for more then an hour i have windows XP and i have write support to my ext3 partitions is there a way i can use cygwin to install the sytem? it's probably impossible but i just want to make sure. you can't chroot to the new install from your existing gentoo install?

For that matter, why not use partimage/rsync/tar to copy your existing installation for the old drive to the new? again the backup problem the backup i made were on one 40GB harddrive and another 20GB i had almost 100GB on the damaged one i couldn't do anything about it Reinstalling is s Windows. that is the only option left -- Neil Bothwick ATTENTION: Despite any other listing of product content found in this manual, you are advised that, in actuality, your computer consists of 99.9% empty space. -- Cheers, Ghaith -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I havent used cygwin extensively though. stuck on the chroot with a /bin/bash command not found in cygwin i hope i can find a solution soon Lets us know how it progresses.

You can complete the install through VMware though. Get the 30 day trial, create a new virtual machine, give it access to the raw disk partition (or whatever it says when you're creating it). I have used that method to install Debian over dial up in the past, you just need to compile the kernel and setup things like fstab to point to how it should be, now how it is off of vmware. I would give it access to the entire disk rather than just the linux partition, as you can then install grub. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Cheers, Ghaith -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

here's a guide on the gentoo wiki to install the packages without portage http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_install_programs_without_portage i guess it's the closest you can get if there's a way to do it with emerge i'd like to know it for sure.
