I'm not entirely sure what the problem is. It seems like a bug is FUSE.

Try remerging fuse and fuse-python.

Does "lsmod|grep fuse" have any results? Try doing a "modprobe fuse" and trying again.

Also, there is a new version of WikipediaFS (0.3) that could potentially fix this problem.

To make a ...

Hello all,

I really like the idea of WikipediaFS, but it's not in Portage so I decided I'd try to make an ebuild for it.

I've never made one before, and I should be very clear that as of writing the following DOES NOT WORK , but I figured you guys would want to get your hands on at least the ...

I finally figured this out.

Although I'm not entirely sure what exactly fixed it, I learned this was a problem with distcc. After I added "-distcc" to the features and tried it again, db complied happily.

I also did: emerge --oneshot sys-libs/libstdc++-v3
and that seemed to help as well.

Alas, I did all of that stuff.

I didn't do it before I made the upgrade, but I already stumbled across that page in my quest to find a solution.

A couple other packages had trouble with the upgrade and those steps helped, but db still wont complile!

Dana Merrick

I picked up my Gentoo box after not using it for a while, and ran an emerge -uDNvtp system and an emerge -uDNvtp world.

GCC was upgraded (from 3.4.6 to 4.1.2) and I had lots of free time so I ran emerge -e system and emerge -e world.

For some reason, db wont compile. I've tried cleaning the old ...

Oh. My. God.

Thanks for catching that! It was a fact I knew very well, but after recompiling my kernel a million times to get this to work, I guess I just missed it.

Shows how nice a new pair of eyes is.

Thanks so much.

Hello, forums, it's been a while.

I'm trying to get MythTV running on my Gentoo box. I just bought a fancy Hauppauge PVR-500 card, and I keep having problems with it.

Right now, I just can't get the ivtv module to work, or, more generally, can't get any /dev/video0 or anything similar.

I've ...

Dana Merrick

That was fast, thanks!

Would you please change my name to "Dana Merrick" or "Dana.Merrick?"
(No question mark in the second one

)

Dana Merrick

this is kind of nice, but i want it to be a file with an easy to read codec... just using 'copy' doesn't work for me.
what should i do if i can't just use copy/

..and oh yeah, my shift key is broken. sorry to look like a fool.

Dana Merrick

i think you may get a start in

Code: Select all

man bash

Dana Merrick

I figured it out. I didn't even need to boot from the livecd.

Code: Select all

mount /dec/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom
cp /mnt/cdrom/distfiles/dhcpcd* /usr/portage/distfiles/
emerge dhcpcd -pv
(dhcp download is 0kb)
sudo emerge dhcpcd

And thats it!
Thanks guys.

Dana Merrick

Wait, so, I do this. mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo/home
mount /dev/hda4 /mnt/gentoo
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
To get dhcpcd, I then did: sudo emerge dhcpcd
But, alas, I dont have internet without dhcpcd, and it wants to connect to get the files. Therein lies the rub, I guess.
I've also tried ...

Dana Merrick

I've managed to find a catch-22...
I need dhcpcd to get internet, and I dont know how to get it without a net connection. How would I go about doing this?
I know its a kinda stupid question, but all I need is a simple answer...

Dana Merrick

This might be a good place to ask: how do I use a package cd correctly?

Yeah, but, when youre booting up Linux to impress all your friends, you can't have error messages flood the pretty boot-process...

Make sure samba is in your boot section.

Code: Select all

rc-update del samba
rc-update add samba boot

And make sure that you have smbfs in your kernel.

Dana Merrick

It nearly seems like you don't have a working "tar" binary.
Firstly, make sure your net is running right. Dont forget to look at /etc/conf.d/net

Dana Merrick

And make sure your completely out of the chrooted enviroment.

1. Unmerge xscreensaver
2. Reemerge it

Or just:

Code: Select all

emerge xscreensaver

Or, even better:

Code: Select all

Hehe.

I got this error when I used Genkernel.
Are you using genkernel? Maybe you should try compiling your own...
