[gentoo-user] update-eix is running forever
Hi, I've been experimenting with overlays a bit. Then I decided to disable them. Now if I run update-eix it runs like this: $ update-eix Reading Portage settings .. Building database (/var/cache/eix) .. [0] /usr/portage/ (cache: metadata) Reading 100% [1] /usr/local/portage (cache: none) Reading 100% [2] /usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise (cache: eix* [/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise]) Here update-eix hangs and sits there doing I don't know what but while at it, taking 99% of my CPU. I tried to purge every mention of layman and sunrise out of /etc and some other places too. No success. What could be wrong? Thanks, Robert -- Robert Svoboda -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] net.eth0 starting yet not starting
* Lord Sauron [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-10-24 11:18]: During boot it goes through the normal routine, it starts net.lo and everything, however, then it goes into runlevel 3 and then all my services fail (apache, sshd, ddclient, etc), complaining that net.eth0 isn't running. I log in and try to start net.eth0 and it tells me that it's already running! have you tried ifconfig? that command shows whether your eth0 is up, have IP assigned and other things, post result here if unsure what does dmesg say about your network card?

Re: [gentoo-user] Run script when X is idle for some time?
* Qiangning Hong [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-10-19 20:07]: I'd like to run a script after X is idle for some time (e.g. 5 minute), just like what gaim do (it set my status to away if I haven't touch anything for some time). How can I do? FYI, I have some Shell/C/Python programming skill. It's been a long time I tried this, but I remember that there is program called xautolock which can be used to do what you want. Particularly its -notifier option. HTH -- Robert Svoboda -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] struggling with dri
* Fernando Meira [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2005-10-09 23:10]: Hi, Hi, I know this is a well discussed topic.. but I can't find answer to my problem.. and I'm completely lost in all mails/forums.. I have a ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY and I been using radeon driver from kernel. I have M7 LW but they are very similar I believe... In order to enable rendering, I been looking around and after no success I was told that I should use fglrx driver from proprietary ATI-drivers! Tried it, but no deal! Then I was again told that these drivers were not to my card, and that radeon should made it. Yes, I think so. So, I'm back to radeon but still no rendering. However, there's noting saying the opposite unless: # glxinfo | grep -i rendering direct rendering: No [...] Did you compile agp, drm, radeon into kernel or as modules? There are some issues (or at least there were) with this. Mine works like this: CONFIG_AGP=y CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y CONFIG_DRM=y CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y (Some people suggest compiling radeon as module but it works for me this way) Any dmesg output?

Can you somehow tell it to apply certain lines from file2 to file1 or do you have to copy and paste by hand? If there are minor changes, you can directly edit the update then save, quit and merge the update. If there are whole line that are different, you can cut and paste between windows (vimdiff colorises too so its easy to see what's different and what's not). It can be even simpler use 'dp' (as Diff Put), where you want propagate the difference to the other file and do 'do' (Diff Obtain) to put change from the other file. There is much more (yeah, it's vim after all :), see :help vimdiff . -r -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] OT: keys that don't create keycodes
* Iain Buchanan [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2005-07-19 09:10]: I have a couple of them! I've tried all the usual ways of detecting them - xev and others that do a similar thing but they just don't register as keypresses in any standard way. did you try lineak (it's in portage)? I think there are others, maybe more advanced. http://lineak.sourceforge.net/ Robert -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Packet loss unknown issue
* José Pedro Saraiva [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2005-07-12 23:30]: Hello, Hi, I connect to the net through eth0 and have a masquerading through eth1 to my other computers, using shorewall. Uh, I'm not sure i understand you. your localhost eth0 - shorewall - Inet your localhost eth1 - shorewall - your other machines Is above right? What address ranges do you use? My server never had any problems of this kind and all was fine until a couple of days ago. I'm experiencing some heavy packet loss when pinging different hosts. I have isolated the problem (at least I think I did) and got to the conclusion that issuing a simple 'ifconfig eth1 down' and leaving eth0 up, the packet loss vanishes. Tests were made with all services down (shorewall, sshd, apache2, mysqld, proftpd, sendmail, ...) What about routing?

Re: [gentoo-user] Windowmaker Woes
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2005-06-08 07:30]: Hi all, Hi Dennis, I've just set up a shiny new AMD64 box, and I can't get many apps (mozilla, firefox, openoffice, wprefs, etc.) to run properly in windowmaker. Open Office crashes, I can't see the windows with mozilla and firefox, and wprefs just dies without an error message. And, of course, everything works fine in gnome and fluxbox. Would anyone happen to know what might be going on? Try, strace if you can run xterm. For example: $ strace /usr/lib/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs From the output you could guess what the problem is. If not, post it here. Robert -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
