00:00 <****> i somehow got a greeter application on my system and want to remove it, but i dont know what it's called. Is there a file that lists boot-up applictations?
00:01 <****> is there some general help gentoo channel?
00:01 <****> octavarium: if it's a graphical type thing, then it would be xdm/gdm/kdm
00:01 <****> heyqule: YOu can use qfile (portage-utils) to find out what package owns the links, and the files they pointed to.
00:01 <****> Kitchennn: i think this is it
00:01 <****> octavarium: otherwise rc-update -{l,s}
00:02 <****> heyqule: or equery
00:03 <****> is it just me
00:03 <****> or does tetex leave a ton of symlinks in /usr/bin
00:03 <****> i am installing gentoo now and i have problem what my processor really is. i was sure it was sempron with 1400Mhz clocking... would that be amd K7 or K8 architecture?
00:03 <****> that don't have any known owner?
00:04 <****> mjrosenb, im running gdm but i dont want a graphic to prompt me for my username and password. i guess i didnt know what i was getting
00:04 <****> octavarium: sounds like it
00:04 <****> Kitchennn: check in /proc/cpuinfo
00:05 <****> there is an option on gdmsetup to autolog in.....
00:05 <****> says authentic amd, cpu family 15, model 44, model name... amd hammer family model unknown...
00:06 <****> What's the proper way to force an emerge of php4 vs 5 ?
00:06 <****> i was just skimming throught the gentoo fluxbox doc and didnt read about gdm
00:06 <****> Kitchennn: sounds like your mobo is having some issues with your card
00:07 <****> how do you make the comand line cursor blink it verry anoying not knowing where it is ?
00:07 <****> nah, it worked before - i just dont know if it was k7 or k8
00:07 <****> any1 have dns trouble with there nic?
00:08 <****> when i start my laptop up using ethernet cord i have tovisit a pages ip adress then i can use dns
00:08 <****> is there a way to dump the cached memory, so only memory that is necessary stays in the physical RAM? (but no need to zero the bytes)
00:08 <****> Pro0F: what's in /etc/resolv.conf?
00:08 <****> ?
00:08 <****> ganymede: yes
00:08 <****> lemme check
00:09 <****> i *used* to have a script to do it
00:10 <****> ganymede: does sync do what you want it to do?
00:10 <****> mjrosenb: 2 name servers
00:11 <****> rej: ping
00:11 <****> Pro0F: are eiher of them visible to you. . I.E, can you ping the name servers?
00:11 <****> i can ping the router and any1 on the network but not the modem or anything else
00:11 <****> mjrosenb: not quite. in free, it still lists 380 megs as cached
00:11 <****> Hello
00:11 <****> lemme try brb
00:12 <****> Is there a GUI app showing the tree of installed packages (tree as in dependencies)?
00:12 <****> tried to ping both = netowrk is unreachable
00:12 <****> ganymede: ahh. . .yeah that's also possible, but it's a bit more annoying
00:12 <****> if you have gnome with other apps...en you want to unmerge it incl all its deps...will it corrupt other apps??
00:12 <****> As portage doesn't handle reverse dependencies, this would be of great help in not removing essential stuff and removing cruft that shouldn't be there...
00:12 <****> Pro0F: that could be part of your problem
00:12 <****> Pro0F: bad routes
00:13 <****> Or missing routes for that matter
00:13 <****> Pro0F: you should determine if they're being set by dhcp
00:13 <****> whatelse would they be set by?
00:13 <****> i can only emagine it being dhcp
00:13 <****> Pro0F: a DHCP server has no obligation AT ALL to set up routes
00:13 <****> It may very well not set it
00:13 <****> no hrm
00:13 <****> it works sometimes
00:14 <****> its wierd
00:14 <****> f.e my DHCP server only adds a default route for known machines
00:14 <****> The others get a bogus route that lead them nowhere
00:14 <****> mjrosenb, what was the name of that file that will give me my drive names?
00:14 <****> my wireless works fine (when i can get the firmware for the card)
00:14 <****> /boot/grub/device.map
00:14 <****> thanks
00:15 <****> so what should i do add dif name servers?
00:16 <****> anyone know gentoo's rc script name for starting unrealircd
00:16 <****> well it only lists "(hd0,0) /dev/hda"
00:17 <****> GentooDude: that would be in the package
00:17 <****> So
00:17 <****> oooo look waht i found http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Unrealircd
00:17 <****> What about a graphical dependency graph of installed packages? I'm sure it exists
00:17 <****> sorry about that my usb wireless adapter is a pos
00:18 <****> what should i do just get another set of dns servers?
00:19 <****> DrChandra: but even ls -al in root can't read those files... their attributes are question marks
00:19 <****> heyqule_: it sounds like you need a fscking
00:19 <****> pr00f: add another nameserver or run a caching nameserver yourself
00:19 <****> mjrosend: ok
00:22 <****> I have "=dev-libs/libzip-0.8 ~x86" in my package.keywords and when I try to emerge libzip it still complains of missing keyword. Why God?
00:22 <****> i can ping those dns servers from my other machines though
00:22 <****> why would the 1 not be able 2?
00:22 <****> asn try removing the version and the =,
00:23 <****> "dev-libs/libzip ~x86" and still the same problem.
00:24 <****> asn: What keyword does it say it wants?
00:24 <****> DrChandra: - dev-libs/libzip-0.8 (masked by: missing keyword)
00:24 <****> this wireless stuff has given me a headache
00:25 <****> Kale: why would the one machine not be able to ping those servers?
00:25 <****> asn: eix shows keywords. Mine says it needs "-*"
00:25 <****> asn: put that instead of "~x86"
00:26 <****> pr00f: the machine will likely be able to ping itself. i don't know why it should not be able to ping a nameserver
00:26 <****> i can ping myself any1 on the network
00:26 <****> asn: YOu don't need to use "~x86" in package.keywords. The appearsance of the package name is assumed to mean ~arch.
00:26 <****> but not the modem or anything else
00:26 <****> pr00f: you are getting an ip and a gateway?
00:26 <****> yes
00:27 <****> pr00f: you can ping the gateway?
00:27 <****> yea i can ping everything in my house execpt the modem
00:27 <****> got 4 machines in here
00:27 <****> pr00f: if the modem is not the gateway, what is the gateway then?
00:27 <****> Does anyone here have a toshiba laptop with a neti2220 driver?
00:28 <****> thought u were talking about my router
00:28 <****> are there any newer kernels for xen-sources coming that 2.6.20?
00:28 <****> if gateway = modem then i cant ping it
00:29 <****> pr00f: you can ping the gataway, what about 212.242.40.3
