Turns out I didn't have "opengl" in my USE flags... how did I miss that!?!?! Now I wonder how much of the rest of my system is missing opengl goodness... might have to do a big rebuild with --newuse... sigh.
Just wanted to say thanks to all the Men and Women who have put in time with the package system in the past few months!
I hadn't updated my box in about 3 months, then this weekend I ran a full "emerge -Du world".... it merged around 300 new packages... all of them flawlessly! I only had to remove ...
After taking a hunch that the drives were getting reordered when Grub was trying to boot... I modified the device map such that the windows drive was hd0 the linux drive was _hd2_ and the sata drive was _hd1_ then reran grub-install.
After a bit of messing around, I thought the error might have been caused by the new drive not having a partition table... so I partitioned it and created an ext3 filesystem out of the whole drive.
Unfortunately... now I get "Error 15" which I believe is usually missing files (can't find grub.conf ...
Ok guys... been running Gentoo for years... but I just ran into a Grub problem I can't solve.
I have two IDE HD's in master slave... master is a windows drive, slave is linux. I've had gentoo up and running in this configuration for about two years now.
I'm actually not working in an environment where I can be root... or use emerge... so that makes things more difficult.
I have my own "root" that I build and install stuff into in /home/username/root ... I have tried building syslogng myself, and installing it into this area ...
I'm getting some undefined references to stuff defined in syslog.h... like "openlog()" while trying to compile some programs... and I can't figure out what package is even supposed to provide it...
I am pretty sure that gam_server is related to KDE auto-refreshing the file-system.
Have you ever noticed that KDE is johnny on the spot when it comes to showing you new files in a folder? For instance, you can have a fold open and then populate it with some script in the background and as soon as ...
No, wrong. Un-keywording a package means setting it to some wacky "stable" state (it needs to be defined yet what exactly "stable" is). But stable package doesn't mean it "emerges" ok, it should work more or less stable. You are right that being un-keyworded has more to do with how it runs than ...
I have thought of a similar system before... but for slightly different reasons...
I think it would be great of Portage could report back to a server the packages it has just installed... and any errors it encountered. My reasoning for reporting _everything_ is that it would be useful for knowing ...
SO... the HDD LED in my computer case has never worked... and rather than replace it or figure out what's wrong... I've grown accustomed to using a program called HDDLED in Windows... which blinks my Scroll Lock LED on my keyboard when there is Hardrive activity.
I am trying to link a python module against mpich (pypar) and am getting these errors.... is there a Gentooish way to implement this change or do I need to go edit the mpich ebuild?
It was somehow seeing that I had firefox already open on my local box... and so it wasn't starting another instance. All I had to do was close my local one.
Something that's interesting... firefox is _slow_ over X forwarding. I've got a 54Mbit connection to my ...
I'm trying to use firefox over a forwarded x session using ssh.
My purpose is to ssh from my desktop to my laptop (which is hooked up in my entertainment center) and start firefox so that I can use http://www.pandora.com and have the audio come out of my stereo system.
After reading other posts here I got it figured out.... I just commented out the rgb and modulepath lines in my xorg.conf that were left over from before the upgrade.
I can kinda see your point... but you have to remember that the whole thing got started as a small thing close to id Software's headquarters (which are outside Dallas).... so there is a lot of history there.
