Oh lord, is the world coming to an end?

once a few personalities went and klieber and pjp started banning people for things they were previously allowed to do we got the 14yr old "hey look everyone, i know how to use Gentoo, omfgbbq!!!111eleven, i'm so cool". They started coming in their droves asking questions like "where is my vmlinuz ...

I also have Gnome 2.14 and GTK+ 2.8.17. Also, for some reason my Azureus file went back to the way it originally was, I'll have to figure out why...

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

It wouldn't have been nearly as bad for me if I could've gotten rid of that dialog box in the corner, but I couldn't. It would not allow me for whatever reason. Though, I guess that's ...

i've been running amd64 with my new hardware for over 4 months now without a single crash or freeze.

Although my old computer useta be plagued. High probably it's usually always hardware!

1.st Check if your system is over heating. jump in the bios and if your temp hits 60c then your in trouble ...

I think it was a hardware issue. Changed a few things (Such as revolting my processor up higher, forgot about that. And resetting my RAM to the auto value which is DDR333, but the RAM is rated at DDR400, so I dunno) and it works fine now.

Nope, sometimes it happens shortly after a reboot (<1 hour), other times it takes a while. Been having problems with my nvidia kernel driver lately too, I think I can fix that, but with the other problems I've been having, and not liking gnome, I'll just do a reinstall.

I'll try memtest86 tonight ...

Argg... I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I've been installing Gentoo alot lately (I'm still a Windows user at heart, can't get over the "if it doesn't work, reinstall" crap :( (But at least I no longer use Windows on my computer)) and probably a week or two after I've installed it, it starts to ...

Ah, thank you very much. Seems like it works, woot!

Thanks again!

I might try VMWare if it supports that, but I honestly have no clue.

If I started Cedega with a processor affinity at runtime, would any child processes also have that processor affinity? It might work that way. I dunno how to do a processor affinity though.

I dunno if I need a chroot or not, I ...

I think the chroot uses your currently running kernel, I don't think it has a kernel all for itself.

I know virtual machines like VMWare and Xen uses a new kernel for each machine, I may have to do that if it's unable to be done via a chroot... But can they make use of NVidia 3D acceleration?

I ...

I'm really not sure how to ask this, or even if I'm saying it right, but I have an Athlon 64 X2, and I'm wondering if I can set up a chroot to use only 1 of the 2 processors in it.

The reason being is that a game I play has issues with a multiple processor system, which I can run fine under Cedega ...

Ok, I'll set it all up first, and then mount it read only.

Thanks for the info guys.

So... Hmm... Well, what if I had a /etc/ on the root partition, but it only contained fstab, and then had another /etc/ that mounted over the top of it later on?

I did something like this with my home partition on my main box, kinda. Doesn't seem to have caused any side effects, except I lose some ...

I've been wanting to build a dedicated server box for a while, but I've been thinking about how to secure it. I've read parts of the SELinux handbook, but I don't remember them touching on having a readonly / in the /etc/fstab sections.

On a webserver, all that would need to be written to is ...

On the Blade 100/150, it looks like they both have standard VGA ports for monitors. Can anyone confirm or deny whether standard monitors without adapter work on the Blade 100/150? Thanks.

Bump.

Anyone got any ideas? PHP still hates me for whatever reason.

emerge -pv dev-lang/php

I still get the same error message when going ...

After emerging PHP 5, and I still have that problem, I don't think it's a PHP problem. Everything needed by WordPress is chmodded 777 so it can write it's own config file, but that still doesn't work...

I was looking on the Gentoo Wiki howto for WordPress, outdated I know, but it says WordPress ...

After having emerged WordPress 2.0.1, and trying to install it via <website>/wp-admin/install.php, I get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: preg_replace() in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/wp-settings.php on line 157

I'm not a coding expert, but could that be something caused by PHP not being ...

I recommend going for an X2 4400+, I think that doubled cache really helps with compiling, but to be honest, I'm not sure. The stock cooler I got with my X2 is pretty heavy duty, has heat pipes and all, and I've heard they got a newer, better one. Stock cooling should be fine if you don't want to ...

I just wanted to say thanks for saying where the world file is. Just searched and wanted to know, and if it was located within /usr/portage, I would've been screwed. So, thanks.

<on-topic>

How would keeping your world file as small as possible speed portage up?

Woot, "linux32 chroot /mnt/blah" worked great for me! Thanks!

And thanks for that info, I'll change that ASAP.

My own WordPress server, here I come! :)

Uh... I got a weird problem. I'm not sure if anyone has gotten into it before but... I want to make a home server out of this really old box, but it's so old, it can't boot from a CD. So, I took the harddrive out and put it in my main box, a 64 bit one, running Gentoo natively at 64 bit. What I did ...

Hi, I've been looking for a ADSL PCI card as well, and I came across this topic. The Pulsar one that was linked above looks good, but it doesn't have any specifications on the website as to how high of a transmission speed it can support. I'd need at least 1.5 Mbps down and 928 Kbps up, and I'm not ...
