| DJGummikuh | ejb_: well depends... if you have a server without x, this is quite possible |
| npc | ejb_, only if you'll also set -X lol :) |
| DJGummikuh | all tohse 4 are meant for X use only npc: lol :) we're up against each other on that one :)) |
| purplepenguins | hmm, so you need to reset root's password while not being able to use root |
| npc | lol. :) |
| purplepenguins | a livecd can do that |
| bjdraw | ahh |
| ejb_ | so you're saying it's pretty much impossible or a very bad idea to do it if I am running X |
| bjdraw | so no boot with teh single anymore? |
| DJGummikuh | ejb_: well you can run -kde and -gnome your apps will still run if you do -gtk and -qt as well these useflags determine only on packages that have a CHOICE wether or not they are compiled with/against qt and gtk |
| npc | DJGummikuh, yup, but nice apps with gtk guis or qt guis wont have those guis |
| VXWorks | Hi, I got a intel core 2 duo laptop! what arch should I download?? |
| DJGummikuh | so like ettercap if you do ettercap with -gtk , the gtk frontend that comes with ettercap is not being built. that does not affect the system itself npc: yes but only if there is a choice wether or not to build that ugi |
| npc | vxworks, x86? |
| DJGummikuh | funny enough, you even could run gnome while you are on -gnome -gtk |
| npc | DJGummikuh, indeed. :) |
| Joker | vxworks: amd64 for 64bit or i686 for 32bit mode |
| ejb_ | bah, I guess I'll just leave them out then |
| DJGummikuh | ejb_: yes... add them when you recognize a package you install is missing a feature... |
| tdr | building gnome with -gnome makes gnome act really bad |
| DJGummikuh | ejb_: it's no big deal to alter your useflags from time to time - as said most ppl here do it tdr: but at least it acts |
| VXWorks | Joker, my processor is a 64bit right? |
| DJGummikuh | tdr: which is my point :) it won't be very useable but it would run |
| tdr | DJGummikuh it doesn't integrate together well |
| Joker | vxworks: "core 2" is emt64 / intel 64 / amd64 / x86_64 or whatever new name they can come up with i think |
| VXWorks | ok |
| RiverRat | it is |
| DJGummikuh | tdr: yeah but what I was trying to prevent was that he gets a way to powerfull opinion of the useflag... it's a decision for packages that have this decision, nothing more, nothing less |
| Joker | vxworks: however .. running old x86 style is still supported |
| DJGummikuh | took me a while to figure that so I try to tell that to the others :) because nobody told me when I was new^^ |
| bjdraw | purplepenguins, so I have to boot from a live cd, then chroot then run passwd? |
| DJGummikuh | bjdraw: yes |
