| kerframil | mattmatteh: well, try harder |
| mattmatteh | it works :P |
| BitOBear | KVM switches (other than the barrel/knob versions) are electronic, they do things like recognize bouncing the shift keys and high end ones will even draw a menu on the screen. Most will also "dummy up" the non-active computers so that they think the keyboard is still there, and they will lock states for caps lock etc. They are way more than simple mechanical devices. |
| freejack | Quick question...what package do I have to emerge to get libjpeg? |
| kerframil | freejack: jpeg |
| mattmatteh | freejack: eix -sc jpeg |
| mattmatteh | freejack: do you specifically need that package ? or are you trying to manage dependencies your self ? |
| freejack | Heh. That's it. Thought it was hidden away in some package somewhere. |
| Skunky | freejack: welcome to gentoo. |
| Azerthoth | mattmatteh, -s is redundant with -c |
| freejack | Rebuilding this system by hand. |
| mattmatteh | Azerthoth: thanks :) |
| mattmatteh | freejack: you dont want to emerge dependencies, if you need to use -1 or --oneshot |
| Action: freejack nods |
| freejack | Gotcha |
| freejack | The base system is up and running fine. That part of the tree is sane again. |
| freejack | Now fixing Xorg. |
| E_Myers | has anyone here had a problem where a gentoo install cant remount a drive in read-write during boot? |
| mattmatteh | E_Myers: need more info |
| shiznix | anyone got compiz working using the ebuilds in the portage tree ? |
| freejack | Grrr....Weird. libX11 fails with "gs: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory " |
| shiznix | i keep getting 'libyes.so' not found and window decorations disappear, when running 'compiz --replace' |
| E_Myers | after a fresh install, it starts booting, it mounts the root drive readonly, then it goes to mount it readwrite and fails |
| shiznix | same problem other users have here -> http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5875694.html |
| shiznix | though they solved it by downgrading to 0.8.2 (no longer in the tree) |
| mattmatteh | E_Myers: umm, i havent see that |
| E_Myers | mattmatteh; ill play with it more tomorrow... i just wanted to see if it was something simple |
| Ezro | Yo mattmatteh, should I use default/linux/x86/10.0/server or selinux/2007.0/x86/hardened? |
| Skunky | Ezro: neither. |
| Ezro | Hm, why not? |
| TravisB | Is there any way I can have a VNC server work with my already-running X session, or are they all going to create a new X-session? |
| Skunky | TravisB: x11vnc is what you need |
| TravisB | Skunky: Thank you! I'll go and emerge that. |
| TravisB | I heard about that, but I wasn't sure if that'd require X to be running on the client end. |
| Skunky | TravisB: nope, just vncviewer |
| TravisB | That's great. Thanks. I was looking for a solution for my Android phone; perfect! |
| latenite | Hi folks, I use xinit -- 1: to get me a second X so I can use kde and gnome both. But what I realy want is: to start gdm on the second X? How can I do that? |
| jaime | Skunky: clock is fine after reboot. it's quite confusing though that 'hwclock -r' and 'hwclock -r -u' both display local time %) Within the bios it see proper UTC... whatever. it works(tm) |
| TravisB | Skunky: Works great. Thank you. |
| Orion_Z | Getting closer now |
| Orion_Z | kernel finished compiling and it went well |
| hicham | Orion_Z, first gentoo install ? |
| Orion_Z | hicham, yes |
| Orion_Z | hicham, trying not to fuck it up |
| mattmatteh | Orion_Z: language please |
| hicham | Orion_Z, you won't, just follow the handbook |
| Orion_Z | fair enough |
| Ezro | Would anyone be able to help me setup something like dropbox on gentoo, please? |
| Ezro | I'm assuming it would be VPN or something along those lines |
| Ezro | Not vpn |
| Ezro | I'm stupid |
|
|
| Ezro | SVN |
| hicham | i don't recommend dropbox on gentoo |
| Ezro | hicham: I don't mean dropbox, I mean something like dropbox |
| Ezro | Where my server holds all my files and stuff |
| Ezro | So when I save on my laptop, it automatically saves on my server |
| E_Myers | like a network share? |
| Ezro | Not sure what that is. |
| Ezro | Ah, I know what you mean |
| Ezro | Ya. |
| E_Myers | so, yor thinking something like an auto-syncing net share? |
| Ezro | Ya |
| Slade- | guessed right on the first try! |
| E_Myers | Slade-: who? me? |
| E_Myers | Ezro: are all your computers running linux? |
| Ezro | Nope. |
| E_Myers | Erzo: you're gonna need samba |
| coi | ? |
| mattmatteh | Ezro: is this on a trusted network ? |
| Ezro | No. |
| mattmatteh | Ezro: or untrusted, like one you dont manage or over the internet |
| Ezro | Ya, it's over the internet. |
| mattmatteh | Ezro: you need a vpn |
| E_Myers | vpn and samba... oh fun |
| Ezro | Is that what dropbox does? |
| mattmatteh | Ezro: if the server is linux or unix, you might use nfs. else there is samba, but last time i used that it was a huge pain mounting as user with the passwd |
| mattmatteh | i have not set up a vpn, all i know is you will need one |
| Ezro | So I would need to setup both VPN and Samba |
| Ezro | To have a dropbox like feeling on linux |
| shiznix | aha...nvm, just had to tick a few boxes in ccsm :D |
| E_Myers | Ezro: I think so |
| Ezro | Alright, I'll check those out then |
| Ezro | Can only root reboot on linux? |
| Ezro | Or did I just not add permissions in or something |
| david38 | there was a howto for that... |
| Ezro | Ah, I should probably read through the actual Gentoo wiki lol |
| Ezro | I was reading this http://www.ahinc.com/linux101/users.htm |
| david38 | theres a wide selection of howtos on gentoo.org :) that last question was certainly answered |
| Ezro | Ah, ty :) |
| freejack | Shouldn't libX11 be linking against libjpeg.so.8? |
| freejack | The ebuild is looking for libjpeg.so.62 |
| ccherrett | how do I check if my swap is enabled? |
| nqs | ccherrett: swapon -s or free -mt |
| ccherrett | nqs: hmm I have no swap enabled |
| nqs | ccherrett: do you have swap avadiable? check 'fdisk -l' to see |
| ccherrett | nqs: /dev/sda2 10 507 4000185 82 Linux swap / Solaris |
| nqs | ccherrett: that work? |
| ccherrett | nqs: I think I have swap in a raid so I will have to mess with it |
| ccherrett | swapon fails |
| nqs | ccherrett: being in raid doesn't matter. can you please pastebin the error? |
| ccherrett | nqs: swapon: /dev/sda2: swapon failed: Invalid argument |
| nqs | ccherrett: huh. um... stupid question, do you have paging disabled in the kernel? |
| ccherrett | nqs: hmm not sure |
| xemacs4321 | mkswap ? |
| nqs | do 'grep -i swap /usr/scr/linux/.config' and report result |
| nqs | xemacs4321: I thought that too, but wouldnt it swow as the partition being bad, not the command? |
| xemacs4321 | not sure |
| xemacs4321 | cant hurt |
| ccherrett | CONFIG_SWAP=y |
| david38 | unless thats his windows partition with wrong type set :P |
| xemacs4321 | ccherrett, mkswap /dev/sd?, swapon /dev/sd? |
| ccherrett | xemacs4321: tried that |
| ccherrett | mkswap reports device busy |
| nqs | ccherrett: waht about grepping for swap in kernel? what did that show |
| xemacs4321 | wgetpaste /etc/fstab |
| ccherrett | CONFIG_SWAP=y |
| Orion_Z | and I have returned...had to restart thanks to a nonsense app problem on XP =/ |
| nqs | ccherrett: wait. pastebin 'swapon -s' and 'free -mt' for us |
| dark | i can't find my video card driver at make menuconfig (it's i915), what might it be? (i'm using ck-sources-2.6.34) |
| dark | lsmod shows i915, and also http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ |
| dark | i found only i810fb |
| ccherrett | /dev/md1 partition 4000056 0 -1 |
| ccherrett | it was /dev/md1 |
| ccherrett | nqs: xemacs4321: it seems to be up now |
| ccherrett | thanks guys |
| xemacs4321 | ;) |
| nqs | ccherrett: ok, have fun |
| dark | also Intel LE80578 (Vermilion) but this seems wrong |
| ccherrett | will do :) |
| Action: nqs goes back to lurk mode |
| xemacs4321 | ccherrett, md can take a while to mount |
| xemacs4321 | ccherrett, cat /proc/mdstat |
| dark | ah, it's at /dev/agpgart |
| Ezro | Samba requires X server? |
| mattmatteh | Ezro: no |
| Ezro | It says it's going to emerge a bunch of x11 stuff though |
| mattmatteh | Ezro: mask the x11 lib or xorg-server if you dont want it |
| Ezro | How do I go about doing that? |
| mattmatteh | Ezro: /etc/portage/package.mask x11-libs/libX11 |
| mattmatteh | then try to emerge again, portage wil fail and whine that it can not have it and tell you what thinks it needs it |
| mattmatteh | Ezro: most likely some use flag somewhere |
| Ezro | I see.. |
| Ezro | So I should just install the x11 files |
| Ezro | lol |
| mattmatteh | what ? |
| mattmatteh | why ? |
| mattmatteh | huh |
| Ezro | Because I don't know how to do that stuff |
| mattmatteh | you dont know how to edit a text file ? |
| Ezro | I don't have a package.mask file lol |
| mattmatteh | when you save the text file you will have it |
| Ezro | Ah. |
| Ezro | I see. |
| freejack | Alright, fixed it. |
| Ezro | mattmatteh: I blocked x11, but now it won't let me merge lol |
| Ezro | And now I don't know what to do lol |
| freejack | Alright, how do I set my ethernet card to ignore ARP requests from outside my LAN? |
| phantomcircuit | damn |
| phantomcircuit | portato is sexy |
| Action: phantomcircuit needs to get out more |
| freejack | I swear, the ARP requests are killing me in latency. |
| TJNII | freejack: You should not be receiving ARPs from outside your lan. ARP doesn't route. |
| akibako | Hi all. Anyone have experience setting up a MoinMoin wiki? |
| freejack | Hrrmmm. How do I block all ARPs except the ones explicitly from the router/modem? |
| akibako | I'm getting Apache errors, and my Google-fu is not strong today. |
| david38 | freejack you routers setup might be... exotic, arp from outside doesnt make sense in any network |
| TJNII | freejack: You can probably do it at the firewall level, but you really don't want to. |
| arosen | Hello, i'm having this python issue. When I'm using python2.6 I can get this one thing to build but when i use python2.5 the configure tells me that twisted is not installed. Does anyone know whats going on here? |
| ns5 | Building gcc always fails, how can I tell emerge to update world without installing new slot of gcc? |
| freejack | Using an ATT Uverse cable modem here. |
| freejack | I think what I'm getting are requests from the local switch. |
| TJNII | Are you actually recieving ARPs from outside your lan? Have you verified the IP ranges with wireshark? |
| mattmatteh | Ezro: pastebin |
| freejack | Hrrrrmmm. Checking...just a sec... |
| Ezro | mattmatteh: http://dpaste.com/201657/ |
| mattmatteh | freejack: you are not behind a nat |
| mattmatteh | ? |
| mattmatteh | ns5: what do you mean ? |
| TJNII | mattmatteh: Let's have him wireshark and get back to us. I think he's trying to hose his network by solving a non-existant problem. |
| mattmatteh | ns5: that is not setting the new gcc as default is it ? |
| freejack | Hah. Got it. It's the cable box that's doing it. |
| freejack | Some kinda IPtv crap I think. |
| ns5 | mattmatteh: when I do emerge -DutNav world, emerge always want to install NS gcc-4.4.3-r2, and building it always fails. |
| Action: freejack is using "tcpdump | grep arp" |
| ns5 | mattmatteh: So I want to install other updates without installing new version of gcc. |
| Lupu | ns5: Then you'd want to mask that version of gcc. |
| arosen | freejack: I doublt that the arps are really causig you any real problem. ARP requests happen a lot in a network so the clients know who is who when they want to talk. The arp tables get cleared a lot |
| freejack | Got it. I think, gotta reset my interface. |
| TJNII | freejack: pastebin the output |
| mattmatteh | TJNII: yeah, but if he/she were behind a nat, that would really mean something is goofy, else i suppose its possible, maybe dumb |
| freejack | Be right back. |
| ns5 | Lupu: how to mask it? |
| TJNII | mattmatteh: Hence why I asked him to verify with a packet sniffer. |
| mattmatteh | ns5: not sure, that is unstable gcc ? |
| TJNII | mattmatteh: I wasn't discounting it, just highly doubting it. |
| ns5 | mattmatteh: no, it is stable now. I don't have ~amd64 in my make.conf. |
| mattmatteh | TJNII: yeah. i havent had to do that in a long time, and forgot how :P |
| mattmatteh | ns5: oh, cant check right now, booted to freebsd |
| Lupu | ns5: as root 'echo =sys-devel/gcc-4.4.3-r2 >> /etc/portage/package.mask' |
| mattmatteh | Ezro: emerge samba wants X ? |
