I tried the step of remounting it rw: the error disappeared, but chmod produced no result.

[gentoo-user] X slowed down; is it KDE?
Hello, Since this morning, Fluxbox has been running very slowly. For instance, when I start Eterm, it takes about 3 to 5 seconds. Every single time. And conky shows X climbing up to 100% CPU usage until I get the terminal window. Could this be because of my failed attempt to compile KDE? Emerge failed at kde-base/kdelibs a few times, after which I gave up. Some 20 packages had already been installed, but I can't really see a connexion. Nor have I tried to unmerge them, hoping to continue installing KDE at a point when I have the time to figure out what is wrong. Thanks in advance, Vlad -- How's my English? How about my Netiquette?

top command to monitor all files which are used by this process. As
far as i can see lsof list only the current processes and the files

don't know :) someone else will have to help you there...
a better option would be `emerge --noconfmem package`, which
esentially re-does all your conf files.
I tried this also but i can't figure out which files could be
responsible for this
something like this should do it:
for i in `sudo find /etc -name ._cfg\*`; do tkdiff `echo $i | awk
'{ sub(/._cfg_/,); print }'` $i; done
replace tkdiff with your favourite.
Additionally i tried this, running the init-script and then i applied
this find command
find / -mount -cmin -1
which lists all the files which status has changed the last minute,
but there are no files which could be the reason for the changing if
the tables.
I don't know if this command does what i want. I think it lists the
files which are altered and which are accessed. Am i right here?
it will list files that have been accessed, only if you _don't_ have
noatime in /etc/fstab for that filesystem. noatime says don't update
the time when the file is accessed (but not changed). the default is
atime, but a lot of people use noatime for speed improvements.
This gets a bit frustrating for me now i always have to reset my
iptables manually after i start my internet connection. Is it possible
that there is no real file causing this trouble?
There must be something, somewhere doing it.. Maybe you could join the
shorewall ml and see what they say? As a workaround, you could add this
to /etc/conf.d/net:
postup() {
if [[ $1 == eth1 ]] ; then
/etc/init.d/iptables restart
fi
}
or something similar. Not the ideal solution, but at least it would do
it automatically.
