[00:00]<anw2yn>i know it will
[00:00]<anw2yn>if i can get away from winblows, i will be a happier man, and this a first step
[00:00]<sgzgg>_AxS_, any idea?
[00:00]<mzcxzgmzz>Had kernel 2.6.17 got a sound bug? I don't have sound, but that's sort of a regular thing.
[00:00]<fjw>jewbie, hehe I got rid of Windows last week; it felt great :)
[00:00]<anw2yn>im sure it did
[00:00]<anw2yn>hate window
[00:00]<anw2yn>s
[00:00]<anw2yn>:P
[00:01]<_aws_>seren, im working on applying the patch myself and trying to make a new one..
[00:01]<fewram>i tried to install (emerge) MidnightCommander and now its compiling Xorg , isnt this weird ? :)
[00:01]<anw2yn>afk a few minutes
[00:01]<sgzgg>lz1gjd, useflags
[00:02]<nmunmyw>which application do you prefer instead of trickle ?
[00:02]<sgzgg>lz1gjd, do emerge -av midnightcommander and unset the ones that are depending on X in /etc/portage/package.use
[00:02]<mzcxzgmzz>seren: Is that a useflag bug? Why should MC pull it in? It should just respect the fact that it's not there, and compile without it.
[00:02]<fewram>oh, ill try but im new to this distro thx
[00:03]<fjw>DrChandra, X is a default USE flag, isn't it?
[00:03]<mzcxzgmzz>FoW: Yeah. lz1gjd is probably emerging the first X-based package.
[00:04]<sgzgg>DrChandra, i see what you meanm, but if you dont set -X -gtk etc etc then the default profile is still assuming to use all those useflags
[00:04]<mzcxzgmzz>lz1gjd: If you don't plan to use X at all, put "-X" in your /etc/make.conf use flags.
[00:04]<mzcxzgmzz>lz1gjd: Otherwise you will his this with every package that wants to use X.
[00:04]<zxzznvaz>looking for help - trying to start dbus daemon automatically when i start x, using e16 window manager only (no gnome or kde sessions)
[00:05]<nygzvnyg>anyone with problems compiling epiphany on ~amd64?
[00:05]<fewram>seren: will i need to recompile X using different options or the one that will be compiled now is ok ? and pls could you tell me how to install kde, if i follow the install guide to install the grb packages it starts downloading from internet
[00:05]<sgzgg>EinZteiN, try #gentoo-amd64
[00:06]<nygzvnyg>seren, im here already :p
[00:06]<suaanss>hello, when i'm merging xorg-server i've that problem: /usr/lib/libXext.so: file not recognized:
[00:07]<dgfgyac>i just did a `emerge -Duva world` on my server and it's wanting to install X ... evidently a currently install program wants X ... is there a way to tell it *not* to use X
[00:07]<mzcxzgmzz>Success: Run "file" on it. I bet it's from another arch.
[00:07]<fjw>yelnick, add "-X" to your USE setting in /etc/make.conf
[00:07]<mcmnwvnz>is there somone who can help a newbee in need?
[00:07]<fjw>dkdexter, ask your question and find out
[00:08]<suaanss>DrChandra
[00:08]<suaanss>Gentoo ~ # file /usr/lib/libXext.so/usr/lib/libXext.so: symbolic link to `libXext.so.6.4.0'
[00:08]<mzcxzgmzz>yelnick: Add -gtk too, if you really want to turn off all GUI.
[00:08]<_aws_>seren, stoopid patch file -- i cant figgure out how to get it to patch the files.
[00:08]<_aws_>seren, it wont select the right files for the patch
[00:08]<sgzgg>_AxS_, think i can patch it manuallt?
[00:08]<sgzgg>manually*
[00:08]<mzcxzgmzz>Success: OK, file libXext.so.6.4.0 tooo, then
[00:08]<_aws_>you can but if you do you cant emerge it..
[00:09]<sgzgg>what about emerge --keepwork or what ever
[00:09]<mcmnwvnz>i have downloaded the minimal install cd, and i boots fine and all, but when it comes too "welcome to gentoo linux......" i don't how to install it
[00:09]<suaanss>DrChandra
[00:09]<suaanss>Gentoo ~ # file /usr/lib/libXext.so.6.4.0
[00:09]<suaanss>/usr/lib/libXext.so.6.4.0: ERROR: error reading (Input/output error)
[00:09]<fewram>whats the name of the meta package to install kde, i guess its "kde" but instead of using the binaries from the packages cdrom it starts downloading them from internet
[00:09]<mzcxzgmzz>Success: OK, that's the problem. The file is damaged.
[00:09]<sgzgg>dkdexter, did you read the handbook??
[00:09]<fjw>lz1gjd, kde-meta
[00:09]<fjw>lz1gjd, there's a light one too, but I don't know the name
[00:10]<fjw>lz1gjd, eix for it
[00:10]<suaanss>DrChandra so, can i obtain a correct file?
[00:10]<fewram>FoW: thx, will try
[00:10]<sgzgg>kde-base/startkde i think
[00:10]<dgfgyac>FoW & DrChandra: i seem to need more than "-X -gtk"
[00:10]<mcmnwvnz>seren, yeah, but didn't find much help
[00:10]<sgzgg>????????
[00:10]<sgzgg>sorry
[00:10]<sgzgg>key got stuck
[00:10]<_aws_>seren, wait i think i got it
[00:10]<fjw>yelnick, do emerge -atvuD world and see what's pulling X stuff
[00:10]<sgzgg>_AxS_, coo
[00:10]<fjw>yelnick, might as well throw in -N
[00:10]<mzcxzgmzz>Success: Emerge x11-libs/libXext
[00:11]<fewram>one more question i would like to ask, how do i "unemerge?" a package, i would like to install xorg 7 and xgl/compiz on gentoo
[00:11]<sgzgg>dkdexter, that handbook will tell you everything to do step bu step
[00:11]<fjw>lz1gjd, emerge -C <package>
[00:11]<sgzgg>lz1gjd, emerge -C
[00:11]<mzcxzgmzz>lz1gjd: emerge -C package
[00:11]<mcmnwvnz>ok, thnx... will try to read it again ;)
[00:11]<fewram>oh, thank you all
[00:11]<fjw>lz1gjd, you'll want to take a look at the Xorg upgrading guide too
[00:12]<fjw>mzbot, gentoo lz1gjd modular xorg
[00:12]<de2jv>lz1gjd: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml
[00:12]<_aws_>seren, use this patchfile: http://rafb.net/paste/results/S2sAh863.html
[00:12]<mzcxzgmzz>Everybody likes to answer the easy ones.
[00:12]<vzzyzgv>is it safe to remove (temporarily) /var/db/ ?
[00:12]<fjw>DrChandra, can you blame us? :P
[00:13]<zgvzzus>variant: sure, just have backups and don't use emerge when it's gone
[00:13]<ygssjdgyrc>Hi all, I recently downgraded openssl from 0.9.8 back to 0.9.7j now ssh wont run because it wants openssl 0.9.8 it says it cant find libcrypto.0.9.8? any ideas how to get ssh to use 0.9.7j again?
[00:13]<vzzyzgv>antarus: thanks
[00:13]<fewram>now that x is being compiled will i have to compile the vga drivers for it or they are part of that X package ?
[00:13]<_aws_>variant, in other words, not really.. :)
[00:13]<sgzgg>_AxS_, it works for you?
[00:13]<_aws_>seren, that one works for me..
[00:13]<fjw>lz1gjd, modular X?
[00:13]<cglsvyg>Inssomniak, run "revdep-rebuild -p"
[00:13]<vzzyzgv>_AxS_: in other words, yes as far as i can see
[00:14]<fewram>no, the one that comes with gentoo 2006.0 6.8.2 i suppose
[00:14]<sgzgg>_AxS_, do you apply it before or after # We have our own include file in /usr/include/xchat
[00:14]<fjw>lz1gjd, it should come with it, then
[00:14]<ygssjdgyrc>kepstin, I did that actually, it wants to reinsatll 0.9.8 of openssl, but I just rather everything link back to 0.9.7j
[00:14]<vzzyzgv>_AxS_: I dont intend to use emerge while its gone.. as i said.. temporarily
[00:14]<_aws_>seren, after
[00:14]<sgzgg>ok thats why
[00:14]<sgzgg>thx
[00:14]<_aws_>variant, there are other apps that use /var/db tho
