[02:46]<2uffzyrr>ReJ, okay i looked at the pages you linked to, but it doesn't really explain why it is not compiling... i get the same problem with bitchx
[02:46]<rnj>_SKiTZO: I have no idea what that means. What version of sys-apps/sandbox is that?
[02:46]<_skytzo>heh how do i find out?
[02:46]<lzlnz>What package should I download to preform a stage 3 installation ? do I get the livecd-i686-installer-2006.0.iso ?
[02:47]<rnj>bullring: It's not compiling because it's ancient source code. About 4 years old. Compilers have progressed since.
[02:47]<lzlnz>Package meaning iso sorry
[02:47]<_skytzo>ReJ: the command was emerge -av gentoo-sources
[02:47]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>paper, what CPU do you have ?
[02:47]<rnj>_SKiTZO: Do `emerge -vp sys-apps/sandbox`.
[02:47]<lzlnz>NeddySeagoon: amd athlon 2700+
[02:47]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>paper, That iso will be fine
[02:48]<_skytzo>sandbox was 1.2.12
[02:48]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>_SKiTZO, thats old, its at least 1.2.17 now
[02:48]<cxzjgj>moreon, i created both /dev/fd0 and /mnt/floppy, when i look in the folder /dev in gnome its a directory not a link to device block
[02:48]<2uffzyrr>ReJ, is that why bitchx says the same error?
[02:48]<rnj>_SKiTZO: Please run `emerge -vuaD world` before you continue.
[02:48]<rssjryrvnx>what is the way to get the <table> height up to 100% and have it work with IE?
[02:48]<zjznztt>paper, or you can get the minimalcd and download a i686-stage3
[02:48]<rnj>bullring: I have no idea about bitchx giving you the same error.
[02:48]<_skytzo>ReJ: can i do that in the middle of a frehs install?
[02:49]<lzlnz>roger55: that will make my install w/ the most current packages correct?
[02:49]<rnj>_SKiTZO: What does "in the middle of" mean?
[02:49]<zjznztt>paper, right, no binaries and no gui on the cd, no installer either, just plain good old handbook install.
[02:49]<_skytzo>well i just chrooted and was going to install the kernel acvcording to the handbook
[02:49]<rnj>_SKiTZO: You might want to try `emerge -vuaD system` instead if you freshly unpacked a stage tarball, I guess.
[02:49]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>Chrono, how did you make /dev/floppy
[02:49]<lzlnz>roger55: exactly what I wanted, not too fond of the livecd personally
[02:50]<cxzjgj>morono
[02:50]<cxzjgj>neddy
[02:50]<ma-pu>eh, last time i tried the livecd everythign broke
[02:50]<ma-pu>so I just used it to do a manual install
[02:50]<rnj>Chrono: ??
[02:50]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>Chrono, ^^^
[02:50]<ma-pu>and got the portage & stage3 tarballs off the interweb
[02:50]<cxzjgj>neddyseagoon, mkdir /dev/fd0
[02:51]<zjddnf>?
[02:51]<zjznztt>hi rommel
[02:51]<rnj>Chrono: I guess that wouldn't work, ever.
[02:52]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>Chrono, That won't work - /dev/fd0 is a specal device file .. rmdir /dev/fd0 modprobe -r floppy modprobe floppy and the /dev entry should appear
[02:52]<zjddnf>hey roger55 .... hows it going
[02:53]<zjznztt>rommel, alright thanks. linuxtag here in graz tomorrow. :)
[02:54]<-- svgvsdyzgjvr xrs>/dev/null")
[02:54]<2jjsy>hey guys, i put exec app.sh in .bash_profile for root, when i su - to root, it just hangs, i forgot to specify & after the command, how can i edit my .bash_profile
[02:55]<cxzjgj>neddyseagoon, say's, you must specify the filesystem type
[02:55]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>Chrono, use -t vfat
[02:55]<_skytzo>Rej: i get access denied error no matter what i try to emerge. i guess i screwed up at some polint. oh well. ill just have to reinstall tomorrow.. *bedtime*
[02:56]<gjfmgggj2fyg>TFKyle, thanks, it worked... and thanks for the tip on how to get portage to install the latest version of some package (even if it's not considered stable)
[02:56]<zjznztt>_SKiTZO, fsck your filesystems
[02:56]<znpyzys>boosi: single user mode should work
[02:56]<cxzjgj>neddyseagoon, thanks that worked
[02:57]<rnj>_SKiTZO: Then run `emerge -va sys-apps/sandbox` first.
[02:57]<znpyzys>boosi: append "single" to your kernel boot line to get into it
[02:57]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>Chrono, you can make a fstab entry if you like
[02:57]<rnj>_SKiTZO: And if possible, show one of the files allegedly erroneously touched by the emerge build system.
[02:57]<rnmznwmra>WHen doing: "Emerge gnome xscreensaver" I get an error saying "No route to host." and "!!!Couldnt download pam-0.78-patches-1.2.tar.bz2. Aborting."
[02:57]<cxzjgj>neaddyseagoon, what do i have to add
[02:57]<rnmznwmra>anyone know what that means or how to install gnome properly???
[02:57]<_skytzo>ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /newroot/dev/pts/1 <--
[02:58]<znpyzys>ANdrewMac: thats a network issue, means you dont have internet working properly
[02:58]<rnj>ANdrewMac: It means your networking is somehow broken, probably the routing.
[02:58]<rnmznwmra>right when it fails i type ping yahoo.com
[02:58]<rnmznwmra>and it works
[02:58]<rnmznwmra>im definently connected
[02:58]<sfuyr>ANdrewMac, your mirror maybee down
[02:58]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>Chrono, /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto,rw,users 0 0
[02:58]<rnj>_SKiTZO: Are you chrooted into the /newroot or using ROOT=/newroot or something?
[02:58]<rnmznwmra>Me?
[02:59]<znpyzys>ANdrewMac: did you specify a mirror for portage to use?
[02:59]<sfuyr>ANdrewMac, the site your are trying to download from is uncontactable
[02:59]<rnmznwmra>no
[02:59]<rnj>squig: In that case it ought to be trying a different mirror...
[02:59]<rnmznwmra>how do i do a different mirror?
[02:59]<sfuyr>whats the commandline for mirrorselect?
[02:59]<rnj>? gentoo mirrors
[02:59]<annvns>http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml
[02:59]<cxzjgj>neaddyseagoon, thanks again, i think im getting the hang of this
[02:59]<rnj>ANdrewMac: ^^
[02:59]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>ANdrewMac, the server you are trying to contact cant be reached
[02:59]<rnmznwmra>thx ill read that
[03:00]<rnj>ANdrewMac: After that, set GENTOO_MIRRORS in /etc/make.conf.
[03:00]<rnmznwmra>hmm ReJ i dunno what to do which that

[03:02]<rnj>ANdrewMac: Are you following the Gentoo installation guide?
[03:02]<rnmznwmra>yeah i took a 2 month break though cuz i was doing the rest without internet
[03:02]<rnmznwmra>now i brought the computer downstairs and hooked up wireless
[03:02]<rnmznwmra>i mean hooked up with a wire instead*
[03:02]<rnmznwmra>so i can do the emerge steps
[03:02]<sfuyr>ANdrewMac, you need to set a mirror
[03:03]<rnmznwmra>how does one set up a mirror
[03:03]<sfuyr>ANdrewMac, its set in your make.conf
[03:03]<rnj>ANdrewMac: The manual will tell all.
[03:03]<znpyzys>ANdrewMac: have you resynced since you brought the box back onto the internet?
[03:03]<rnmznwmra>no :(
[03:03]<znpyzys>ANdrewMac: uh yeah.. you need to do that
[03:04]<rnmznwmra>its a dual boot, i just never logged onto the gentoo part since it was wired two months ago
[03:04]<znpyzys>ANdrewMac: yeah.. resync before you try anything else
[03:04]<znpyzys>ANdrewMac: then see if that fixes your issue
[03:04]<rnmznwmra>is resync just one line?
