[gentoo-user] openrc conf.d/modules

[Adam]

My modules file contains;
modules="vmmon vmnet vmblock vmci vsock"

modules_2_6="${modules_2_6} acpi-cpufreq"
module_acpi_cpufreq_args_2_6=""

modules_2_6="${modules_2_6} fuse"
module_fuse_args_2_6=""

modules_2_6="${modules_2_6} usbhid"
module_usbhid_args_2_6="quirks=0x05ac:0x1294:0x04"

Are there any references to those modules in /etc/modprobe.d/*conf or
/etc/modules.d/*conf ? If not, there should be.  If yes, did you run
update-modules?

There's no reference to the modules in either of those locations before
or after running update-modules (so no i hadnt run it because the openrc
update guide doesnt mention that its required, so I had assumed that its
no longer required).

I have no vmware modules in that file, the modules are loaded by the
vmware init script.

I missed your reference to openrc last time.  Do you see any interesting
messages when you run /etc/init.d/modules restart?

Where do those vm* modules come from?

[gentoo-user] emerge gnome fail

[Jose Juan Montiel]

Hi,

yesterday i finally decide to try Gentoo (I came from debian).

I follow all step of 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml but when i 
finally go to install gnome...  in the latests package (mailclient or 
something similar) fail...

I would like to know how to skip a failed package of metapackage 
gnome... or how to update to other version (2.28 -> 2.30)...

Sorry for this trivial question ;)

Thanks.

Use emerge --resume --skipfirst to continue where you were, skipping
this package.
Or simply emerge --keep-going <package>, this will continue
automatically even if a package fails.
To compile the package that faileed, there is often a bug report on
bugs.gentoo.org already. Just google for the error message, and if
you're lucky, you will find the solution. If not, just open a new bug
report :)

Oh, and please open a new thread the next time. This one appears under
the openrc thread.

Hi Jose and welcome to Gentoo, check out "man emerge" and some useful
parameters like --skip-first,  --resume and --keep-going.
Have Fun

The quick install guide is for users who are already experienced with  
Gentoo. With a Debian background, you'll probably be fine, but you  
might find it worth keeping the full install guide handy.

Have you rebooted the system yet? Don't bother about installing Gnome  
until you've done so. Be absolutely minimal in your steps, if they're  
not directly related to having a working system. A DE is eyecandy -  
just get the disks prepared, the files copied, the kernel installed  
and the bootloader going. When the system boots for the first time to  
a plain console you can then log in as root and add ~jose, cron,  
syslog, GUI (although you'll probably want to install GNU screen a  
little bit earlier).

Once you have the system booting you'll be able to copy & paste the  
full output of the error.  Note that most install CDs also offer SSH,  
if you have another, fully-working system.

sphinx adam # /etc/init.d/modules restart
 * WARNING: you are stopping a boot service
 * Loading module acpi-cpufreq ...
  [ ok ]
 * Loading module fuse ...
  [ ok ]
 * Loading module usbhid ...
  [ ok ]
 * Autoloaded 3 module(s)

So they're just being missed. I've changed it to
modules_2_6="${modules_2_6} vmmon vmnet vmblock vmci vsock"

And it now works ok.

I don't know what icedove is, but what you need is not to reply to 
anything but to start a new message. Changing titles does not start a 
new thread, nor should it. Ask yourself: what is the difference between a 
/new/ message and a /reply/ to another message?

You should be able just to click on the list address in any email from 
the list; that will start a new thread.
