Emerging mod_perl with the FEATURES "-sandbox" seems to have worked for me. What are the implications in emerging a package this way? Thanks El

So LiLo worked like a charm the first time but then I got that red box with my two options in a blam! contrast white...in other words I miss the colorful screen and smoothness of GRUB...I will try that out. Thanks

So I am also having the same problem on my laptop...
anyone resolve this issue?

Anyone thought about using jumbo frames over a gig network. I was thinking maybe distcc could take advantage of this...I am wondering though if it is nic dependent....Just a random thought.

So I have a hub on the side on my Diamond Pro Mitsubishi monitor. I had a 2.6.7 kernel compiled and when I powered the monitor off the keyboard and mouse that are both usb would power off...makes sense. Now when I powered the monitor back on the devices would be powered back up and everything would ...

Anyone get the extigy working with ALSA support. I am having the problem of very little gain...I can turn the gain on my Klipsch up almost 80% and the volume is not loud. I tried for a couple of days on and off to get alsa support working but no luck. Any ideas...Thanks

So I found the cgi scripts and go them setup...I just asked before searching around :oops:

Thanks for that quick response...I did a little test with my Back-UPS 500 ie 500VA(volt amps)

I unplugged it from the wall and is started beeping...it said I had about 11 minutes of run time and the load ...

So I had to compile usb support directly into the kernel to get the APC to work. I am using a 2.6 kernel...the guide is for 2.4 if I am not mistaken. So my question is anyone get the web application to work so that you can log into the web and check on the status??? Thanks El

So I had posted my prob on another post along with my make opts. In my make opts I had -fstack-protector I removed it and tried to reemerge xorg. Ahhhhhhh it worked perfectly. Also when I was trying to do a stage one install I had included -O3 in my make opts which was also crashing the build ...

You can run the monitor on the pc that you begin the emerge on ie the computer you are actually installing the software on. VSFTPD seems to use DISTCC consistently. So I would emerge it see if I see any activity and then unmerge it to test distcc with. Also as a sanity check I run netstat -c -A inet ...

In my CFLAGS I had fstack-protector removed that and rememerged XORG-X11 and it works. I still had to use xorgconfig b/c X -configure gave me some new errors. But after setting up a generic xorg.conf I was able to start x and I now have gnome all setup... Hope this maybe helps

So I let that emerge over night without the fstack-protector and woke up this morning to find it had completed successfully. I then ran the X -configure and got some new error! Hmm that is iteresting I thought. Manually setup xorg.conf with xorgconfig and started X. AHHHHHHH it started. I am so ...

So using the above hint on executing distcc-gnome worked for me...also if you check in /var/tmp/portage/.distcc there should be two directories state and lock. When it wasnt working for me on one of my boxes I noticed that lock was missing so I unemerged it and rememerged it and it ran just fine ...

So I am trying your suggestion since I have added a bunch of options to my kernel and that didnt help. Also tried booting the knoppix disc again and trying to figure out what module it uses. Ahh this is so frustrating! I emerge xfree tried that same problem. Now emerge xorg-x11 with -fstack ...

I tried the following

I did emerge -C hardened-gcc; USE="-pic" emerge gcc xfree and works now ) Thankyou


and it still fails both xfree and xord-x11 report the same error. I have also tried booting knoppix and copying the configs over from there. Do you think it is a kernel issue? As in perhaps I ...

When I try to run the Xorg config app I got an error so I ran the semi manual X config to generate a config file. Now when I try to run startx I get the following. I have rebuilt my system 3 times this week and I get the same error. The graphics card is an onboard ATI XL 8MB card. Do I need to ...

These steps from above worked 1st try on my local network

ssh-keygen -t dsa
(enter passphrase ...)
cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh username@remotehost.com 'cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'
(enter my regular unix password on the remote box)


Then to try to get the passwordless connection:

ssh ...

So I am going to use the minimal install disk and try this one more time...

Just to have some confirmation on the machine (localhost) that will be building the stage 1 and distributing jobs to others. Does it matter if CC="distcc" is set on the other boxes?

Does it matter if this is on a seperate ...

When I tried to emerge gnome...it fails on gnome-desktop with this ... please any ideas I have installed gentoo for the second time now from stage 2 install


/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fstack-protector -fomit-frame-pointer -o test-hint test-hint.o libgnome-desktop ...

So I emerged xfree and then ran xf86config. Now when I type startx this is what happens...I tried xorg-x11 and the same thing happens!!! Please help it is an ATI on board card RAGE XL.

here is the output from the failure beginning with my emerge. I also added my make.conf file...this is the second time I have tried this from scratch and something is wrong. I want to build the system with distcc but uncommenting the distcc refrences in the make.conf file still crashes the emerge ...

I started emerging the system and I see using netstat and top u distcc that it is distributing work to my other machine(an Athlon XP). I am trying to build the system on a P4 2.8C...the emerge runs for a while then I get this

checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++... gcc
checking whether we are using ...

Billwyd is right I couldnt get it to send any jobs to the other computer for compiling I had to set both the localhost (192.168.1.6) and the remote host 192.168.1.5 and then specify respectively /2 and /12. I then run netstat on the local machine and top u distcc on the remote machine and it gets ...

I finally got it to work but then after emerging for a while I got this error...
Did I just pick a bad package?
I am running this between a P4 and an Athlon not sure what else to say...

So that worked like a charm...but any idea why it might not be working otherwise. I havent been able to get X to run yet on my box so I am thinking that it may have something to do with that...thanks I will keep you up to date
