[01:02]<aaymya1q>hi, i got gentoo installed, but it fails when i emerge some packages, like BitchX, when it is emerging gnome-libs
[01:02]<aaymya1q>is that common?
[01:02]<npnrvzjpznrc>dz, I dunno. Don't think so, which is why I had to make a seperate file.
[01:02]<scugcd>dwellshere: well, that's different...
[01:02]<dyr_arrrf>Skunky: why is it unsupported now?
[01:02]<pwggrw>Neozonz: Well if you need more SWAP and use EXT2/3 you can resize your main partition and then resize your swap
[01:02]<scugcd>dwellshere: what driver is this?
[01:03]<mwnffsxnzn>ov51x
[01:03]<scugcd>dwellshere: is there an ebuild for it?
[01:03]<ggjejge>I can delete my swap and delete my partion 6 right? and play around with swap size right?
[01:03]<aaymya1q>mm
[01:03]<ggjejge>k nm
[01:03]<ggjejge>i think ill do that
[01:03]<scugcd>dwellshere: isn't that part of the spca5xx driver?
[01:03]<aaymya1q>is 10GB ok for a / partiton
[01:03]<aaymya1q>?
[01:03]<cjsvr>for some reason I can't see my mouse in KDE, even though I know it exists (I can see the effects of its movements, and sometimes it flickers into view)
[01:03]<mwnffsxnzn>Skunky, not so far as I know (i've run emerge -s ov51x and ls -R /usr/portage | grep ov51x)
[01:04]<mwnffsxnzn>Skunky, it's for the newer chipset ov530
[01:04]<mzlxy2ns>yeah
[01:04]<aaymya1q>dwellshere tried modprobe spca5xx ?
[01:04]<mwnffsxnzn>Skunky, you may be right though, I didn't think of compiling that
[01:04]<npnrvzjpznrc>Acidic32, I usually run out if I make it that small. Unless you plan to make seperate partition for some dirs
[01:04]<fax>Acidic32, that's pretty tight, but yeah, I'm about at the same size
[01:05]<aaymya1q>i got /home as 40GB
[01:05]<mwnffsxnzn>Skunky, good idea : ) though I disagree with your teaching methods, you certainly get the job done! ;)
[01:05]<djln>hi, can change a raid 0 to 1 or do I have to take evrything off the harddrive?
[01:05]<gjw-hrgm>Does someone have a list of all the packages I have to unmask to upgrade to gnome 2.16?
[01:05]<npnrvzjpznrc>Acidic32, depends on your needs :-\. it's definitely possible to have a decently loaded install on 10GB, though. I know that
[01:05]<cjsvr>HELP!
[01:05]<zgvzzus>mope: striping to mirroring.. the total disk space is different :P
[01:05]<scugcd>dwellshere: I have a cam that uses the spca5xx driver... and it will NOT compile against gentoo-sources, i have to run vanilla-sources on that box
[01:06]<fdnfmd>please don't yell at us, kosta :)
[01:06]<axzysvnf>i parsed that as stripping :/
[01:06]<zgvzzus>mope: you need to copy the data over to 1 drive at least ;)
[01:06]<zgvzzus>christel: that wouldn't be appropriate for this channel
[01:06]<fdnfmd>christel: dirty.
[01:06]<axzysvnf>:(
[01:06]<fdnfmd>hehe
[01:06]<sl2> filth.
[01:06]<gjw-hrgm>christel: christel.
[01:06]<djln>antarus: if I have enough room? say, i have two 80gb drives, but i only hav like 10gb formated on it?
[01:06]<fdnfmd>ooo
[01:06]<fdnfmd>okay good time to bail out of this ;p
[01:06]<sl2>that's just wrong
[01:07]<zgvzzus>christel: I should ban you for that
[01:07]<npnrvzjpznrc>lmfao
[01:07]<fdnfmd>mv drama /dev/null
[01:07]<cjsvr>spb: do you happen to know what can cause my problem?
[01:07]<mwnffsxnzn>Skunky, I'll try the vanilla sources kernel. I don't think the ov51x is part of the spca drivers, they're two completely seperate developements (in terms of websites)
[01:07]<sl2>what problem
[01:07]<zgvzzus>mope: no; because the 10gb of data is stripped across 2 drives
[01:07]<djln>hmm, so I need like 4 drives to make this work. sounds like the answer is no, that I might as well think of it as pulling all the data off to a neutral drive, redoing the partition, adding the 3rd drive, and then putting the data back on?
[01:07]<wzzyjz>i have only 10GB for Gentoo too
[01:08]<fr>10x linuxfan2006 i were right :)
[01:08]<cjsvr>spb: for some reason I can't see my mouse in KDE, even though I know it exists (I can see the effects of its movements, and sometimes it flickers into view)
[01:08]<gjw-hrgm>Anyone? GNOME 2.16 unmasking packages?
[01:08]<fdnfmd>10GB is plenty for gentoo, unless you are doing stuff like hosting tons of images/other content
[01:08]<sl2>kosta: kde? no idea
[01:08]<ggjejge>shit
[01:08]<fdnfmd>eash on the language
[01:08]<fdnfmd>easy.
[01:08]<fr>now i installed mirrorselect, and when i try -i switch it gives: cannot open tty-output
[01:08]<ggjejge>sorry
[01:08]<fax>you only have to clean up your distfiles from time to time
[01:08]<fdnfmd>:)
[01:08]<cjsvr>spb: do you know what could cause such a thing in X in general?
[01:08]<fdnfmd>i hear tmpwatch (in portage) can help automate stuff like that
[01:09]<djln>I read this trick on how to grow raid1 to raid5, but I've got one of my partitions as raid0 :(
[01:09]<pyguwprgq007>do you have udev mounted?
[01:09]<ggjejge>How do I add space to my swap from my harddrive? (resize)
[01:09]<fr>i guess no
[01:09]<djln>raid5 is basically striping and mirroring, right?
[01:09]<ggjejge>nooo!
[01:09]<zgvzzus>mope: no..
[01:09]<ggjejge>electrofreak: comeee backkk
[01:09]<ggjejge>:P
[01:09]<djln>Neozonz: that's difficult, I think
[01:09]<npnrvzjpznrc>Neozonz, still need help??
[01:09]<ggjejge>yeah :D
[01:09]<zgvzzus>mope: that would be raid 0+1
[01:09]<cjsvr>help!!
[01:09]<ggjejge>I need to resize my swap
[01:09]<npnrvzjpznrc>mope, no... it's different
[01:10]<djln>are you sure?
[01:11]<npnrvzjpznrc>if you google raid, you will find a very good site on the description of all the different raid levels
[01:11]<djln>I am
[01:11]<ggjejge>resizing swap, anyone? :p
[01:11]<syfvnz_alu>hi everybody
[01:11]<djln>and raid5 is striping with parity
[01:11]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>Neozonz, add a swap file
[01:11]<ggjejge>?
[01:11]<npnrvzjpznrc>yeah
[01:11]<rnjzrdj>wikipedia does alot of good explaining on raid
[01:11]<ggjejge>how do I do that
[01:11]<pzgggdvd>electrofreak, what should i do if it is masked with: masked by: package.mask
[01:12]<npnrvzjpznrc>Neozonz, dd a file of a set size, then mkswap the file, then swapon the file
[01:12]<ggjejge>?
[01:12]<ggmmdsgrrjjg>Neozonz, make and empty file, mkswap /path/to/file swapon it add to /etc/fstab
[01:12]<npnrvzjpznrc>freenity echo the package name to /etc/portage/package.unmask
