paul Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 Nvidia will not emege beacuse it says I need to compile mtrr's into the kernel. So, I did that. It didn't work, and so I checked everything in that section and recompiled again. Still no go. What am I missing? you should see MTRR messages when you boot. are you?

Ixthusdan Posted June 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 I am seeing messages, but I did as tyme said and used the nvidia install program, which worked fine. But, I had sound and lost it. (??) That's really odd. Alsa is there and emu10k1 is loaded, so another mystery. Gentoo is faster, even in kde.

Ixthusdan Posted June 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 For general information, on a kt400 chipset mb, with pc2700 ddr and an 1800+ athlon, Open Office has been compiling for 13+ hours. :shock: (!!!!!!!!!) Gentoo is smooth and fast, but installation of programs is not. Kde and konquerer actually are enjoyable, with none of the "windows" sluggishness. I shouldn't say all programs are installing slow. Midnight Commander and aumix were quick. k3b was not bad, considering it installed 11 packages. Open Office was only three, but the last package is a real compile hog.

tyme Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 OO took longer than i care to remember on my machine (specs in sig). I think it ran for something like a day and a half to two days....or atleast 24 hours. When I compile it again (if i do, might try some other options) i'll post a time estimate too, just for comparison purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 the first time I did OO it took me a lifetime, but subsequent upgrades (like from 1.0.2 to 1.03) seem to happen a lot quicker, or maybe I'm getting used to the painful compiling of OO :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 did you make sure to put all the necessary stuf in the kernel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Yes, I compiled it with usb and usb 2.0 support. Is that what you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Yes, I compiled it with usb and usb 2.0 support. Is that what you mean? partially...see if this page provides any help: http://www.linuxpda.com/visor/howto/curren...ent/kernel.html (i know it says it's for handspring visors, but there's not really a difference in how they sync i don't think) here's some search results from forums.gentoo.org (used "hotsync"): http://forums.gentoo.org/search.php?mode=r...02fcd533daca654 hope some of that helps.

Ixthusdan Posted June 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Thanks for the info. Looks like I'm compiling AGAIN. I might actually get it right this time! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 This is all with jpilot. Well, it seems that setting up usb is a problem. Following all scenerios that I found at various places, nothing worked!! I don't have any other usb device to test, but I do know that in /dev/usb/tts/, 0 and 1 show up when the palm attempt to sync. So, devfs and the palm are working. But, it won't sync. When I launch from a console, it says permission denied and pi_bind illegal seek. I gave my self permission to access the usb folder, but what else should I do? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 Is anyone using any usb devices with gentoo??????? :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 Well, I'm gentoo free. But as linux is still linux, maybe this might help you. This is what I did when a friend of mine loan me (to me?) his usb-cdrw for a few days. This stuff worked in my slackware: #! /bin/sh # Script prototipe to mount an usb cdrw # feb 2003 # usb modules echo "Loading usb modules" /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci ## /sbin/modprobe hid (not needed) /sbin/modprobe usb-storage # cdrw modules echo "Loading burner modules" ## modprobe sr_mod (not needed) modprobe ide-scsi # mount proc usb's filesystem echo "Mounting usb filesystem" mount -t usbdevfs -o devmode=0664,devgid=43 /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb # Mounting that thing: sleep 5; mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom/ Maybe you can extract some ideas from that :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
