Hello, I'm back :) |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
So, I've again installed gentoo 64bit on my double opteron. So far I ma past |
| 4 |
the basic install, emerging alsa, X and KDE, koffice, xine, as well as |
| 5 |
OpenOffice.org 32 bit and mplayer 32. All is working well. |
| 6 |
|

I've got one problem (as previously) with my network card. It seems my |
| 8 |
motherboard (Tyan k8w 2875ANRF) has got TWO ethernet ports (the motherboard |
| 9 |
handbooks speaks of a jumper to enable/disable "both ports"), although there |
| 10 |
is but ONE connector - anyway, the problem is that that while Gentoo mostly |
| 11 |
identifies the first port as Ethernet, it sometimes jumps on the second. |
| 12 |
ifconfig -a then reports the following: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr |
| 15 |
00-E0-81-00-00-30-BA-8D-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 |

and I have no network access, because if I understand it right I have the IP |
| 32 |
set on a port that has no correct hardware address. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
For the time being I've "solved" this issue by giving the same settings to |
| 35 |
eth0 and eth1 in /etc/conf.d/net, and it works: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr |
| 38 |
00-E0-81-00-00-30-BA-8D-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 |

but I wonder if this is a good solution. It seems both port never are |
| 58 |
activated at the same time, but if anyone has an advice to give on this one |
| 59 |
I'd be glad to here it... |

My second "problem" is that I would now like to emerge dvdrip. However, |
| 62 |
following some reading, I put the following in package.keywords before |
| 63 |
emerging mplayer-32: |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
media-video/mplayer-bin ~amd64 |
| 66 |
media-libs/win32codecs ~amd64 |
| 67 |
app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs ~amd64 |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
I think to get the 32bit version of the medialibs, and I wonder if I should |
| 70 |
remove the last line before emerging dvdrip (as I understand I should be able |
| 71 |
to run the 64 bit version of dvdrip and transcode)? |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
Again I am grateful for any help. |

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a |
| 79 |
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the |
| 80 |
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? |
