| granbo | =/ I have a gentoo live cd from 2004... it appears not to have ebuild or emerge... is there any way I can install software? specifically cdrecord. I need to burn a rescue ISO... |
| Sakkath | how can i measure how much bandwidth a user uses |
| waittom | Phenax:...any solution..? |
| Phenax | granbo: Manually download it, manually unpack it, manually ./configure it, manually make it, manually make install/or run binary from compiled dir. |
| darksoule | do you have any ideas how to clean that up without screwing up my screen? |
| waittom | Phenax:...any solution..? |
| prateekg | Where can I find IRC logs of #gentoo? does somebody maintain them? |
| int80_h | good question |
| granbo | Phenax: it appears the live cd doesn't conatin make =( |
| dg_ | i have a blocking package that doesnt make sense, because it's not installed |
| Phenax | granbo: unpack a Stage 3 on your harddisk, it contains all of that |
| granbo | (or man, or apropos) =/ |
| dg_ | what's the deal with that? |
| Phenax | granbo: Unpack a stage 3, and then chroot into it would likely be more appropriate. |
| darksoule | Skunky can we clean up my xorg without messing things up? |
| Phenax | in fact you could probably unpack a stage 3, Portage snapshot, chroot -- then just emerge it |
| granbo | thanks for the help Phenax - however writing to disk isn't an option unfortunately. |
| Phenax | and burn your cd from the chroot I don't see a process in which you need to write to a disk in there |
| granbo | granbo: unpack a Stage 3 on your harddisk, it contains all of that |
| Phenax | well, unpack a stage 3 into your RAM or whatever the disc uses |
| granbo | hmm |
| Phenax | "Unpack a stage 3" if you have 512mb+ of RAM it will likely work fine |
| marienz | (do not unpack a stage3 on anything other than an empty directory though) |
| dg_ | how can i fix this? emerge complains that xproto-7.0.6 is blocking packages, but there is no xproto installed according to emerge -C xproto |
| marienz | dg_: other way around, most likely. |
| int80_h | revdep-rebuild revdep-rebuild didn't work |
| dg_ | marienz, i dont understand? |
| int80_h | any other ideas? http://rafb.net/p/f0Xki362.nln.html |
| marienz | dg_: something you are trying to install or upgrade pulls in xproto, but xproto cannot be installed because it conflicts with something else that is currently installed. |
| dg_ | marienz, i did not misread the error message. |
| marienz | dg_: please pastebin it. |
| dg_ | sigh, ok |
| kexman | how does an nfs client work ? :) i want to set up a secure iptables ruleset for it |
