[04:07]<awnsjdn-jq000>13 minutes to gentoo!!!!!
[04:07]<xrgsnfmr>Hello, I post my problem again. With plug-in a usb stick, the udev does not add the sda to the /dev, and automount (hal + ivman) will not work.
[04:07]<xfyg2gzdrg>Awesome-o2000, Tell us at 30 seconds. We'll do the countdown with you. :)
[04:07]<adlwnzdjw>corn, for fortune files, just build it like the others (each quote separated by % on a single line, then run strfile -r <whatever file>
[04:07]<awnsjdn-jq000>lol
[04:08]<znpyzys>juckes: i used to have a blast with links and mplayer using directfbv
[04:08]<awnsjdn-jq000>im going to do the GUI install, ive been waiting YEARS for that
[04:08]<znpyzys>Awesome-o2000: waiting??
[04:08]<kjvnasns>Awesome-o2000, gentoo gui install?
[04:08]<awnsjdn-jq000>Zefiris, yes.
[04:08]<awnsjdn-jq000>Kovecses, yes.
[04:08]<znpyzys>Awesome-o2000: i feel sorry for you
[04:08]<awnsjdn-jq000>Zefiris, why? Ive DONE the regular install a few times
[04:09]<znpyzys>Awesome-o2000: because you actually are excited to see a GUI installer
[04:09]<kjvnasns>well do it again ..... its still better easier and faster.... imho
[04:09]<awnsjdn-jq000>I have always felt it could have at least used an ncurses-style installer
[04:09]<ma-pu>it's had one of those for a while
[04:09]<znpyzys>Awesome-o2000: i feel an installer cripples the install
[04:09]<kjvnasns>plus .... compiling with gnome loaded in ram?
[04:09]<ma-pu>that's so ue.
[04:09]<znpyzys>rather, the system
[04:09]<ajzg>cyphermox: Thanks, it generated the dat file, but fortune ./(filename) says no fortunes found
[04:10]<awnsjdn-jq000>Zefiris, a gui installer means I can convince windows folk to try it out - Ive always felt learning gentoo first helps to understand the OS a lot better than say, redhat
[04:10]<ma-pu>heh
[04:10]<znpyzys>Awesome-o2000: yes, and when they install using the installer, they will still have no idea how to manage their system
[04:10]<kjvnasns>Awesome-o2000, yes gentoo is a great learning tool
[04:10]<ma-pu>convince them to try something else, cause then we have to help them in here :P
[04:10]<znpyzys>Awesome-o2000: if they use the manual method, then they know what they are doing
[04:11]<adlwnzdjw>corn, try with a full path: fortune `pwd`/newdatfile.dat
[04:11]<awnsjdn-jq000>Zefiris, what is left out of the graphical installer anyhow? other than stage 2+3 :)
[04:11]<awnsjdn-jq000>sorry 1+2
[04:11]<xfyg2gzdrg>Mmm... pizza...
[04:11]<kjvnasns>Awesome-o2000, those options are actually in the gui installer
[04:11]<kjvnasns>believe it or not
[04:11]<awnsjdn-jq000>that ROCKS!!!
[04:11]<znpyzys>Awesome-o2000: for instance, if someone used the graphical installer and then had a grub error or kernel issue, they would have no idea what we were talking about when we referenced hda1 hda2 hda3 etc...
[04:11]<_rgmd>If i want to copy my entire root filesystem to antoehr partition shoule i use "cp -p -R -L / /mnt/newroot" ?
[04:59]<rggjgg>alex6z: ehm, you don't have to tell a senior portage developer what a portage profile it ;)
[04:59]<znpyzys>alex6z: are you sure youre not getting Senkyoka and genone mixed up?
[04:59]<znpyzys>heheh
[05:00]<rfnw7e>opps sorry
[05:00]<vafyxa>richiefrich, see anything off hand?
[05:00]<zyaxynpzyax>tklihc, add that line Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
[05:01]<zyaxynpzyax>tklihc, to the to your mouse
[05:01]<zyaxynpzyax>tklihc, section and to your touchpad
[05:01]<zyaxynpzyax>tklihc, u can take out Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
[05:01]<vafyxa>richiefrich, add it to the usb mouse and the touchpad sections?
[05:02]<vafyxa>not at the top then
[05:02]<znpyzys>richiefrich: SendCoreEvents would be set in the ServerLayout section.. not the mouse section
[05:02]<zyaxynpzyax>tklihc, ill post mine for u, so u can see
[05:02]<sajvv>alright i attempted to find that arch but didnt find it. I was talking about the cd install arch i should get for that processor "amd k6" sorry im really new to this but once i get going i should probably be fairly ok
[05:02]<znpyzys>scott: i686
[05:02]<sajvv>ok
[05:03]<zyaxynpzyax>Zefiris, i use it in all my sections, that i have double things, ewxcept for monitor
[05:03]<sajvv>what is that under? its not in the new 2006.0 section?
[05:03]<znpyzys>richiefrich: well its only used in ServerLayout where you define your input devices
[05:03]<znpyzys>scott: post a link where youre getting this from?
[05:03]<zyaxynpzyax>Zefiris, not when u have 3 mice 2 keyboards
[05:04]<znpyzys>scott: youre being very vague
[05:04]<sajvv>http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml
[05:04]<znpyzys>richiefrich: yes.. i have that setup for my laptop..
[05:04]<sajvv>sorry zefiris.. im not trying to be :S
[05:04]<zyaxynpzyax>tklihc, http://pastebin.ca/57244
[05:04]<rggjgg>scott: get the x86 live cd
[05:04]<znpyzys>scott: x86
[05:04]<zyaxynpzyax>Zefiris, it works here like that, so thats the way i do it
[05:04]<sajvv>oh ok.. but i thought that was for pentium only?
[05:05]<znpyzys>scott: its for anything from 286 to the newest non-64bit processors for the PC
[05:05]<sajvv>oh ok. that works
[05:05]<dtgjzd>man, started a emerge a couple hours ago and its still running
[05:05]<rggjgg>Zefiris: it's definitely nto for 286, linux doesn't work on those ;)
[05:05]<vxnaxzys>i was just thinking. portage should keep an ebuild for every pacakge you install. that way revdep-rebuild won't fail because it couldn't find the old version of a program...
[05:05]<dtgjzd>i think its the syslog-ng
[05:06]<znpyzys>richiefrich: well i can assure you that the manpages state that its only set once
[05:06]<sajvv>thanks for all the help
[05:06]<drssygn>is grup nomore in the portage tree ?
[05:06]<znpyzys>genone: i was explaining what x86 covered.. but yes youre right that linux doesnt run on 286 :D
[05:06]<dtgjzd>posix... whats that.. its making that
[05:06]<znpyzys>genone: would be a sight to see however :D
[05:06]<drssygn>when i try to emerge it i gets : emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "grup".
[05:07]<zyaxynpzyax>Zefiris, whatever i take them out it doesnt work here, so i have germlins
[05:07]<rggjgg>scott: actually hold of for a moment, the livecd seems to be a i686, so won't work for k6
[05:07]<zyaxynpzyax>Zefiris, :)
[05:07]<znpyzys>richiefrich: i guess :/
[05:07]<znpyzys>richiefrich: you need a CoreDevice and then the rest are SendCoreEvents
[05:07]<rggjgg>Zefiris: what, the kernel probably wouldn't fit into ram
[05:08]<znpyzys>genone: i know.. which is why i said it would be a sight to see :D
[05:08]<sajvv>genone: i didnt plan on grabbing the live cd. was going to use the minimal cd/install and go from there?
[05:08]<zyaxynpzyax>Zefiris, u can do it like that to Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
[05:08]<dtgjzd>man, glibc..... what is that
[05:08]<drssygn>oups okay i found what wrong :)
[05:08]<dtgjzd>i think thats what its emerging
[05:08]<rggjgg>scott: yeah, the minimal should work
[05:08]<znpyzys>richiefrich: ahh, youre doing it that way
[05:08]<sajvv>genone: awesome.
[05:08]<znpyzys>richiefrich: i guess there are multiple ways to set it then
[05:08]<zyaxynpzyax>it works
[05:08]<zyaxynpzyax>so why should i screw with it
[05:08]<znpyzys>yar
