Hello, I'm installing Gentoox Pro 3.0d onto my v1.0 Xbox, and on my Tv, the text is pushed off of the side of the screen, so i cannot read about the first 5 characters of text. I am wondering how to start the installation scripts you see on the Tv through SSH. Thanks. You can install vai SSH, just ...

they are unreadable until I shut down and reboot. So everything's fine now? 8) I don't understand. Focus or non-focus? Gentoox loader or not? No everything isn't fine. Every once in a while is you are using the Xbox (locally) and scrolling large amounts of text the font goes bad and the only way to...

Has any one else gotten the fonts in the shell account garbaged up? In SSH they are fine, but on the Xbox themselves they are unreadable until I shut down and reboot.

Well you could do what I am doing with my Extra Xbox that I installed Gentoox on, that is make it a fileserver for the network. That way you can store data there and have all the computers in the network able to access the stuff. Great for Videos and MP3s. You can also install the P2P stuff so that ...

I installe Pro ony my xbox and don't need a GUI on it, maily for fileserving. The problem is I have the HDTV pack and the overscan is real bad in the shell. Is there a way to fix this with the HDTV pack or am I forced to use the standard pack which makes the text hard to read? P.S. I seached the for...

is there a way to have it like the way the home version has it? like all the progs in the menu? without installing all the progs 1 at a time? Ya, download Home instead. As was pointed out by Shallax Pro only installs what is needed. Home installs a lot of useless stuff for most people. It is easy t...

Hey, I was wondering approximately how long it takes for magic to complete its patching process. Curious becauase I ran 'magic' about 8 hours ago, and it is STILL downloading and modifying stuff. Is this "8 hours and sitll going" normal? Forbuto if it's the first time, yes if not, i don't...

2. I think i remember there was like a way to install KDE and all the programs through a terminal. is that right?

Yes that is correct on both 1 and 2. Just run magic or emerge to install things.

Of course I have.. ive installed Home more times than youve had hot meals. If you knew how to use Linux properly, you wouldnt be complaining. If you want to drop back to a console (why youd want to I dont know), you could run "killall gdm" as root. If youre using it as a fileserver, you s...

I don't want Gnome, KDE was working just fine Then its just as well magic doesnt install Gnome... Magic works fine for me... so I dont know what the problem could be.... Have you actually started from a fresh install since you game out with v3 home? Try and install Home v3, then run magic from root...

Well I erased the Xbox HD, re-installed Gentoox Home v3.0. Setup some shares then ran Magic again. It downloaded and install who know what, took like 4 hours and it wasnt from downloading. When it finished Samba no longer worked, nor did the Webadmin. Also the video was still screwed even with that ...

I have a Computer with windows XP set up to use my sbc yahoo dsl internet connection. I need help setting up the network so that my Gentoox based Xbox can share the same internet connection. I have read the tutorial on networking but I still cant get it to work. The DSL modem is hooked up through a...

I ran Magic yesterday and it sort of thrashed the machine. When it completed download and installing software, which took forever, the video was gone. I used the XBVSET to fix that but also the keyboard and mouse/controller where not working and it locked when running XFree. I did a native install a...

I FTP'd all files to the XBOX. Like I said, the first time it worked until it got messed up and ever since then no luck. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Did you change your passwords on the Gentoox? I found by default that Samba doesn't take new users added to the Gentoox over. Also som...
