Gentoo Forums

I successfully ported fbsplash to Arch Linux and we are now trying to implement it within Archie, the main Arch Live-CD. According to the splashutils docs:
Initrds aren't of much use for fbsplash as their contents aren't directly
accessible (ie. mounted) at the time fbcon is initialized.

It's ...

Well, we could have two search.phps - one would be the regular one for the site and search2.php could be used by the firefox plugin to always sort by threads - I am still have problems with an AND search by default tho - that is the main problem - 100 results for the word "is" is no good for anyone!

Hello,

I'm refering to the firefox gentoo forum searchplugin listed here - as far as I can tell there are no special commands in the plugin that effect the results display - so I assume the changes must be in search.php - is it possible to have a list of those changes?

I have a few questions about the customizations that have been made to the forum.

1) Glance: how have you reduced the fields/columns shown in the list? I can't seem to find an explanation - just people saying they have done it - [FIXED] you need to edit the template glance_body.tpl
2) How/Why does ...

I have read all through all the scripts in splashutils-gentoo and they are very complicated, especially when I don't have any acces to the main rc script which calls them - so I can't see how they are used! The complex method gentoo appears to use for starting it's services is also well over my head ...

i understand that you may not want to help but totally blanking me seems a bit harsh!

I have had a good go myself and come up with this http://dtw.jiwe.org/share/gensplash/spl ... ch.tar.bz2 - i now get a message about initialzing the kernel on my splash screen but not progress bar

I maintain unofficial support for gensplash for Arch Linux - I managed to hack together our initscripts from various sources and it's been going along pretty well, we had silent splash working fine.

However, spocks lastest stuff has me completely defeated. Without a gentoo install and an in depth ...

i fixed my hard lock - i was compiling my kernels with the clock tick speed set to 200HZ - it seems that was causing my crash as 500HZ works just fine Hope you all get yours sorted too.

just as a note xorg upgrade didn't fix my issue either

i recompiled without fbsplash - and i still get the crash reproduced using xscreensaver!

that means the other two changes i made: adding reiser4 and changing the tick have resulted in the problem returning but i agree that it is almost certainly a combination of factors that are different in ...

to update my adventures with custom kernels affecting my problem

i compiled 2.6.10-ck5 it works perfectly!

i added the fbsplash and reiser4 patches and later the clock tick speed to 200 (don't ask) and it is back to the old.

i am now recompiling again without fbsplash

I'm from Arch Linux but i'm just posting here as i have this problem - i am number two - total and utter lock up.

it happens to me when most xscreensavers starts - i use the preview to test for the crash. you might say it is xscreensaver but it isn't, i tried it with previous versions of xscr and ...

does this patchset patch this security fix also?

http://www.isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0021-uselib.txt

are security fixes normally included?

ok - yes or no answer here

can i install the main system straight off of cd? cos i see all the source tarballs in distfiles on the cd? what are these for if not to be used to install apps without connecting to the internet? presumably they are the sources associated with the portage snapshot the cd ...

well, as i said, thanks or your help. i did read the docu and my understanding required some clarification, which you, and others, have provided

thanks for your help

i actually continued to read the documentation and answered most of the questions myself anyway - it does seem strange to me that you need to read nearly all of the documentation to answer questions that should be made clear in the choosing your installation type bit right at ...

i talked this out with guys on #gentoo last night but i'd still like to clarify because i am confused :oops:

What i want:

i only have a 56k modem which i cannot be connect to the internet on for long periods of time. i would ideally like to do a stage 2 install. i can download isos and large sets ...

hey,

i just installed imagemagick cos i need the mogrify command to batch all my images to a different res.

can imagemagick do what xy77 suggests as good as gimp? gimp had no batching except through scripts you see.

would be very ironic to install gimp to create an icon for imagemagick, which i ...

an imagemagick icon? please!

xy77 - you rock - that's perfect

tho you may want to rename it l33t_MAI_thunderbird

just a suggestion tho

anyone got any icons for thunderbird? one based on the firebird head would go nicely! i guess it would be based on

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jessica.davis/images/thunderbird.png

also, anyone, a ROX filer icon?

and, finally, being a non-gentoo (but a firm believer in fluxbox and idesk) i need ...
