x11 error

**mactabilis** · 03-06-2006

I keep geting this when i emerge xorg-x11,

Code:

x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2 failed

**AlexK** · 03-06-2006

when i get errors like that, usually switching to a different mirror or running emerge --sync fixes it up for me.

Well i will exsplain more,This gentoo is on a diffrent box and has not even got xorg-x11 installed on it yet so its not a update,But i will give it a try.

How would i change mirrors to help?

Does it only show that error, normally there is abit more?
md5 test failer or can not find server
etc

This box has no desktop at the moment thats what i'm trying to set up ,

I see this line above thats about it,

I usually get errors like that during the initial install phase or when trying to get some obscure item.

As for changing mirrors, personally I find that this belgian mirror has a lot of stuff and this one is good for rsync.

Ok but as i said im still in command mode as the gentoo install is on another box,
So if i was to emerge xorg-x11 from one of your stated mirrors what would the type be,

emerge xorg-x11 <mirror>??

**mactabilis** · 03-07-2006

Ok i worked that out and it didnot work,

But i managed to catch this in the error if its any help ,

Code:

/lib/GL/glx/glapi_x86.S modification time please use 5.1e+07 s in the future.

**mactabilis** · 03-07-2006

Well Ive worked that out it was a system time problem,My box went back to 2001,Just using the "date" command did not resolve the error,I had to change it in the bios,Any way xorg-x11 emerged,But now i'm trying to resolve this,

Code:

Duplicate symbol __1686.get_pc_thunk.bx in /usr/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a.bl
module load Failure

Thats what i get when useing X -configure.

**AlexK** · 03-07-2006

what about running xorgconfig?
