Looks like this issue still exists, running python-updater now, 109 updates.

Kaddy

a couple of additions that would be nice:

Adding an option for local mirrors:

echo -e "Do you have have a local gentoo rsync? (Default is No) [Yes/No] \c"
read local_rsync

if [ "$local_rsync" == "yes" ]
then
echo -e "What is the IP of the rsync server? \c"
read rsync_ip
elif [ "$local_rsync ...

I noticed that there was something posted earlier about this, and there is an on-going discussion about this as of last night.
However, I think that this is going a little too far.

Upon syncing this morning ro incorporate the Nvidia update, which I'd hope would be in portage, along with Firefox2.0 ...

multipe xsessions on one card
without doing the xsession in an xsession
more importantly, if I can configure them inside the xorg.conf file

Kaddy

is this something that is possible, and if so, HOW.
I have been looking and looking and all that I can find is some damned stuff about TwinView, which I don't need. -_-

Kaddy

make sure that you have something like this in /etc/samba/smb.conf

Code: Select all

[global]
workgroup = WKG
netbios name = MYNAME
[share1]
path = /tmp
[share2]
path = /my_shared_folder
comment = Some random files

then you should just be able to connect like this

\\MYNAME/my_shared_folder

in windows

Kaddy

make sure that you have the SAMBA USE flag set

also check out the samba howtos found here, it is just a 'how to connect via UNIX client' thing

Kaddy

it'll work, I use one as a router
just make sure that you use either -march=k6-2 in the cflags or -mtype=i586
please note that the chost is i586, not i686, you can use a i386 if you feel like for the cross compatability with other machines if you want to distcc

Kaddy

the other thing that you could do, seeing as that the dhcpd.conf idea is only HALF of what you'd have to do, I just realised that, you'd have to do something with iptables as well to deny IPs that are static on the client.

# iptables -P INPUT DROP <-- default action to drop on INPUT
# iptables -A ...

Kaddy

you'd have to do the MAC filter thing for dhcp, it isn't that hard, you cna basically do it like this.
group {
host hostname1 { hardware ethernet <mac goes here>; }
host hostname2 { hardware ethernet <mac goes here>; }
}

then do something like this in your dhcpd.conf file and add something like ...

Kaddy

try doing a this

Code: Select all

make mrproper && make oldconfig

then rebuild the kernel

Kaddy

I know that this might be something silly and not going to help a whole lot of people, but, as far as I have seen, there are some issues with xorg-x11-6.8.2-* (better known as "xorg-x11-6.9*" in the package.mask file) blocking everything for xorg-x11-7.0. For the most part, this shoult be a simple ...

Kaddy

first off, for forwarding ports, try this out:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport <destination port> -j DNAT --to-destination ip.to.forward.to:port
so, for ssh, you could do something like this fro ssh forwarding
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport ...

Kaddy

gaga, as far as I know, you just have to force the arch type for the kernel itself making sure that you add "ARCH=i386" to every command for building the kernel.
Other than that, I think that it will work.
I was just playing around with my 64-bit machine and I realised that there is IA32 emulation ...

Kaddy

Hey. I'm getting the exact same problem, but when i tried this solution it continued to fail.
I used emerge --skipfirst --resume to continue, but i can't seem to compile these gst plugin packages.. here's my emerge info.

Am i missing something?

CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu"

it doesn't look like ...

Kaddy

you could have screened it
screen is your friend

Kaddy

can you atleast post the error wor for word, it might help.

if it is saying something about being masked, then you should add it to /etc/portage/package.unmask like this

Code: Select all

echo "=package-group/package-version.goes.here" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask

Kaddy

one way that you could do that is, if you have a running gentoo system, or alinux system at all is to install a chroot environment and then do this:
# cd /usr/src
# rm linux
# wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.17.tar.bz2
# wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people ...

Kaddy

is ther error before or after the system install?
if it is after then you can just build the kernel again with the ra2500 driver in it.
where it is exactly, I am not sure, it should be somewhere under Device Drivers -> Network Device Support

Kaddy

first off, do this:

Code: Select all

emerge --sync && emerge shadow libutempter && emerge -C xorg-x11 && emerge -DuN world

on a side note, smbfs is out of date, you should try and use -t cifs instead of -t smbfs just make sure that you have ti built into your kernel.

Kaddy

I remember seeing something like this before on a different package, it is a pain in the ass. :/
this is how I fixed it:
echo "=media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.12" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
granted that that will get you something that is static so you will have to check the updates for that every ...

Kaddy

make sure that you specify that it is a 32-bin install, once again, I think that this is an issue with 'make' itself.
what you will have to do is specify it in the package.keywords then general syntax is like this:
package-group/package archtype
so, for you to do that, you'd have to then add it ...

Kaddy

intramfs is a string not a boolean, you just have to comment it out and it should work for that part
also, instead of having to worry about rebuilding the kernel again and again, try this:
make mrproper ARCH=i386 && make ARCH=i386 oldconfig && make ARCH=i386 && make ARCH=i386 modules_install ...

Kaddy

Shan, it is a make thing, not quite sure HOW it does it, only that it does
you can do the whole 'force the arch' thing
OR, if you prefer to mess around with the Makefile, there is a line that looks like this
ARCH ?= $(SUBARCH)
take that out somehow, commenting works nice. and change it to this ...

Kaddy

I know
I'll try and throw something together tonight so that there isn't this HUGE issue with it for every one

on a little different note, I know that there is a failure in finding virtual/x11 after the kbproto
you might have to do it a little unorthodoxly in the sense that you'll have to do ...
