[00:03]<xjffjwsjuf>bullring, give cfdisk a shot its abit more user friendly
[00:04]<zjznztt>bullring, you can clean out some /usr/portage/distfiles/ ?
[00:04]<2uffzyrr>is it possible to make a partition larger without loosing data
[00:04]<kzzvzrys>roger55: swapon: cannot stat /dev/swap: No such file or directory.

[00:04]<zzmmzz>any ideas
[00:04]<cxzjgj>im having problems getting my mouse to work
[00:04]<zjznztt>Kartagis, why is it looking for that?
[00:04]<caayza>Kartagis: of course not. /dev/swap doesn't exist
[00:04]<caayza>Kartagis: you want to input a /dev/hdX there
[00:05]<zjznztt>Kartagis, I guess your fstab is wrong, what do you think?
[00:05]<kzzvzrys>kojiro: but it is /dev/sda3
[00:05]<2uffzyrr>roger55: is there a cron job i can set up to clean out the portage/distfiles?
[00:05]<sdfvysa>I need help. Upon booting today, I get an X error about startkde not being found. Apparently, none of the other kde packages are there either. What should I do?
[00:06]<zjznztt>bullring, that isn't a good idea I think
[00:06]<ofyrec>hollowsoul: sure give me a minute had to do something
[00:06]<caayza>Kartagis: grep '/dev/sda3' /etc/fstab
[00:06]<cxzjgj>can anyone help me get my mouse work with x server
[00:06]<zjznztt>bullring, there are various scripts that clean out old distfiles that are no longer needed
[00:06]<rcn2r2j>how can i dual-display with difference resolution?
[00:06]<zjznztt>bullring, check forums.gentoo.org
[00:06]<kzzvzrys>hmm
[00:06]<2uffzyrr>thank you roger55
[00:06]<caayza>roger55: my personal fave is 'rm /usr/portage/distfiles/*'
[00:06]<sdfvysa>Chrono: What mouse type, what is listed for mouse under /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[00:06]<zjznztt>kojiro, you're not on dialup. :)
[00:07]<caayza>roger55: true
[00:07]<kzzvzrys>kojiro: it should be /dev/sda3 and not /dev/swap in /etc/fstab?
[00:07]<zjznztt>Kartagis, right.
[00:07]<cxzjgj>just looking
[00:07]<xjffjwsjuf>Shark_y, u tryin to add another PATH for all users?
[00:07]<sdfvysa>How do I completely remove KDE?
[00:07]<ofyrec>hollowsoul: here it is with more of the information http://pastebin.com/723413
[00:07]<sdfvysa>emerge --unmerge kde-meta isn't working.
[00:07]<zjznztt>bullring, also, check how many kernel sourcetrees you have in /usr/src/
[00:08]<zjznztt>bullring, on takes around 300mb
[00:08]<zjznztt>on/one
[00:08]<dzdddsduzp>is there a way to find out which module a specific piece of hardware is using?
[00:08]<cxzjgj>sylvisj, it says corepointer
[00:08]<2uffzyrr>roger55 how would i tell what i need and what i don't?
[00:08]<zjznztt>bullring, with distfiles?
[00:08]<zzmmzz>daddysmurf: start with lspci
[00:08]<sdfvysa>Chrono: I need all the lines. Post them on a pastebin and give me the link.
[00:08]<2uffzyrr>yes
[00:08]<zjznztt>bullring, well you can delete them all, portage will redownload what it needs
[00:09]<dzdddsduzp>Raydar: I got that, but I don't know how to connect the module to the hardware
[00:09]<zjznztt>bullring, the scripts I mentioned chech what distfiles your installed apps would need to be remerged and leave them there, delete the rest
[00:09]<zzmmzz>daddys: then dmesg and look for messages from modules
[00:09]<zjznztt>chech/check
[00:09]<cxzjgj>sylvisj, im not sure how to do that sorry
[00:09]<dzdddsduzp>Raydar: ok, ty
[00:09]<2uffzyrr>thank you roger55
[00:10]<wjg>Hello
[00:10]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>daddysmurf, ask here until you learn, or read the kernel help for every module of that type
[00:10]<bulle>anyone here using genkernel and rootfs on lvm togheter with md raid setup ? i cant get new genkernel created initramfs to boot my machine, and need some hitns
[00:10]<zzmmzz>on a clean install to amd64 machine lvm2 failed to merge. libdevmapper.a in function `_align_chunk' : multiple definition of ` _align_chunk' --- any takers
[00:10]<duzycs>hmm, x11vnc or tightvnc¿
[00:10]<duzycs>?*
[00:10]<zjznztt>BULLE, maybe you need some option in your kernel line to start it?
[00:10]<2fracrxjsv>yuriks: tightvnc, imo
[00:10]<2yjmrg>i like tightvnc
[00:10]<bulle>roger55: dolvm2, its there
[00:11]<zjznztt>BULLE, ah.
[00:11]<slcyn>anyone have SATA know-how?
[00:11]<duzycs>"emerge -va tightvnc"
[00:11]<duzycs>=))
[00:11]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>yuriks, depends on the bandwidth. TightVNC will run over a modem
[00:11]<zjvj>sure spkie
[00:11]<zjznztt>BULLE, is there a genkernel option to build that stuff in the initrd?
[00:11]<bulle>roger55: the thing startsup just fine, but the newly created initramfs files are incapable of setting up md raid properly
[00:11]<zzmmzz>Spkie ask question
[00:11]<duzycs>yeah, I'm looking for modem speed, mostly becuase I'll be using httptunnel >_>
[00:11]<dzdddsduzp>NeddySeagoon: the thing is I have an nforce2 chipset, and it doesn't list any nvidia network modules, wheras, my first install (the laptop I'm on atm) had intel ich6m stuff EVERYWHERE
[00:11]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>Spkie, What do you need to know ?
[00:11]<zjvj>vnc has a remot exploit to bypass passwords, so use a non-standard port
[00:11]<drvvdrvvnx>anyone know of a cd burner and/or dvd burner linux compatibility list ? about to buy a new one. i thought i saw one a while ago but cant find it on google
[00:11]<bulle>roger55: yes, and i use that one to, problem is, that th einitrd doenst fail there, it fails at setting upp the softraid devices properly
[00:12]<duzycs>+java
[00:12]<duzycs>hmmm
[00:12]<bulle>roger55: that happens before lvm2, and now i just get a shell prompt, after boot tells me that /dev/vg/rootfs is not available
[00:12]<slcyn>SATA drives, nvidia drivers, lspci shows me the drivers are running but i cant see the drives.
[00:12]<zjvj>m qute sure every burner is compatable
[00:12]<duzycs>I still need to be able to do VNC connection to use that tho, right?
