[gentoo-user] Loading programs at X startup
Hi, I've two questions related, but not the same. 1st question: I'd like to know how to run at X.org startup some apps, like (~/.bashrc) at bash login. I'd like to run, for example, xcompmgr -c at X.org startup always, or other programs, and I'd like to know if there is kind of file where the programs to be runned at startup can be introduced. 2nd question: I'd like to know if there is some way of executing a window at X.org startup (for logging in, AND IS NOT xdm, gdm or kdm). There is a server with user accounts, if it logs in with local_user via xdm, gdm or kdm it should open up a dialog where the user must log in (it will check that databse) to access her/his system. In the case that the log in failed, it should reload xdm, gdm or kdm (say /etc/init.d/xdm restart).

I'd like to run, for example, xcompmgr -c at X.org startup always, or other programs, and I'd like to know if there is kind of file where the programs to be runned at startup can be introduced. Depends on how you start X. If you use the 'startx' command, put them in ~/.xinitrc. If you log in through xdm, put them in ~/.xsession. 2nd question: I'd like to know if there is some way of executing a window at X.org startup (for logging in, AND IS NOT xdm, gdm or kdm). There is a server with user accounts, if it logs in with local_user via xdm, gdm or kdm it should open up a dialog where the user must log in (it will check that databse) to access her/his system. In the case that the log in failed, it should reload xdm, gdm or kdm (say /etc/init.d/xdm restart). Don't know, sorry.

Make sure the /usr/src/linux symlink points to the sources for the

This is a bug with newer kernels. I fixed it by editing the
vmware-config.pl script and basically commenting out the section around
that error message.
# vi `which vmware-config.pl`
Then around line 1979 you'll see this:
if ($header_page_offset =~ /[0-9a-fA-F]{8,}/) {
## We found a valid page offset
#if (defined($gSystem{'page_offset'}) and
#not (lc($header_page_offset) eq lc($gSystem{'page_offset'}))) {
# if ($source eq 'user') {
#print wrap('The kernel defined by this directory of header files does '
# . 'not have the same address space size as your running '
# . 'kernel.' . \n\n, 0);
# }
# return '';
#}
}
I inserted the '#' at the beginning of the lines to basically ignore
this check. I haven't had any problems with vmware when it's built.

[gentoo-user] Mozilla won't start after upgrading to 1.7.13
Hi all!
A couple weeks ago I upgraded mozilla from 1.7.12-r? - 1.7.13
on a box running [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only lastest stable versions
of packages installed).
Upon running the mozilla cmd I get the obligatory No running
windows found msg and that's all I see mozilla do. Nothing shows up, no
windows, no msgs. The running processes can be easily sigTERM'd. I
straced mozilla and it ends up at (yes, the output is cut right there):
...
lots of rt_sigprocmask() calls
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x8004599e, [], SA_RESTORER, 0x4009e1e8}, {SIG_DFL},
8) = 0
waitpid(-1,
Okay, I downgraded mozilla back to 1.7.12 which had run fine before and
even this once greatly functioning 1.7.12 mozilla suddenly didn't work.
The same problem, the same strace result.
Upgraded to 1.7.13 again, no change. Deleted the
~/.mozilla and ~/.gtk* stuff, no difference.
Does anyone have an idea how can I fix this? Big thanks
in adavnce for any pointer or hint.

RE: [gentoo-user] dev-lang/php-5.1.4 emerge failing [SOLVED]
Thanks to the people who tried to help me figure this out. It turns out the issue with emerging php (missing mysql libraries) had to do with a buggy custom eclass that had been put by this box's previous admin under one of the portdir_overlay directories. When I renamed the overlay'ed eclass dir to eclass.old, I was instantly able to emerge mysql (and it actually emerged this time). Once that was done, I was able to emerge php with no problems.
