After mucking about with alsamixer and various control-panel type things in GNOME, sound works and I can play mp3's. On the one hand, great. On the other, why are there multiple mute buttons and volume controls? That's a really weird idea, that "unmute" must, apparently, be checked in multip

[gentoo-user] gmailfs and gmail 2.0

just a heads up for those of you running gmailfs. Gmail is now 2.0, so if you want to access your old files, you have to install libgmail-0.1.8. It was released 2007-11-13. Create a portage overlay of libgmail: 1) add PORTDIR_OVERLAY to /etc/make.conf (/usr/local/portage) 2) create PORTDIR_OV

[gentoo-user] Re: 7. Configuring the Kernel

To clarify: Fedora is on hda, gentoo on hdb. The /boot/grub.conf file boots both fine; this partition is mounted seperately, it's referenced correctly as (hd1,0) meaning the hdb, the first partition. Both Gentoo kernels are in the same partition, same directory reflected in mount as: /dev/hd

[gentoo-user] Netvanta router will not read Gentoo MAC address

Hi All, I have connected to a Netvanta router (seems to me like Cisco clone in terms of ruleset and OS) but it will not read my MAC address. As a result I cannot set static IP addresses for my Gentoo boxen on this LAN. The router offers the next available IP address, instead of the one that I

I'm currently getting error 15 from GRUB, of the "Code Listing 4.2: Grub Output - Booting an Entry" variety. I can boot into either Gentoo or Fedora, but not into Gentoo with the new kernel. The Gentoo doc's say to "First, verify that the root and setup lines you have used are correct." I don

For info, there used to be a website with pre-built binaries provided by one of the devs for just such rescues. Also, dont the current livecd's do a stage 3 install, which means there should be a quickpkg'd glibc on them? I dont have a system with squashfs on it, or able to boot one to check at
