[gentoo-user] git-send-email get garble

2008-03-08 Thread Chuanwen Wu
Hi,
I usually use git-send-email to send my patch, and it work good before.
But these day, every time I sent my patch with git-send-email, the
receiver got garbled characters. But when I browser the email in my
gmail(I CC every email to myself) in firefox, everything was normal.
So I made a test. I git-send-email to my another email account which
was not gmail account(mail.163.com) and this time, I got the garbled.
I think the patch I have made is well.
When I $cat mypatch, I got:

 You can see the difference. The first one contains the Chinese
characters我爱你, but the second one contains some garbled characters.

Anyone knows how to fixed it?
Thanks in advanced!

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo Brainstorm?

 Welcome Daniel!

 The BrainStorm idea is a good one, but it closely resembles the gentoo
 forums
 and perhaps a bit like the gentoo wiki too... Heck... if you squint a bit
 and
 don't look real close, brainstorm looks a bit like the gentoo bugs site
 too.

 Probably a good place for this to land is in the wiki... Call it my wish
 list (sorry) or something else though. Also, if  the gentoo version
 closely
 copies the Ubunt BrainStorm, it desperately needs a better indexing
 method,
 other than offering pages and pages of unknown topics that you must
 page
 through to find something useful...

 Cheers All!


Would'nt that be the same thing, just as a subpage on the wiki?

 Okay I followed the Wiki as instructed to the letter. Same EXACT problem. It
 all seems to go fine, but I get a black screen when X starts. Not like a
 back-lit one either. Like power off black. I know X is running, I can see
 the processes, and it doesn't seem locked up either. I just can't see
 anything.

At least your box's still running - that's an big improvement. 
On my box, each version I tried produced an complete lockup - even 
didn't need to start the Xserver for this. Obviously the kernel
module is heavily broken.

Debugging it showed up several strange things, like direct jumps 
into data areas (sometimes even static text strings), etc. 

Perhaps an similar issue like w/ Skype: they prefer investing their
dev resources into code obfuscation instead of providing an stable
product ;-O

All this leads me back back to the conclusion I already had about
10 years ago: *NEVER EVERY* buy Nvidia cards.
(I've made the big mistake buying an notebook with NV graphics, 
so I even can't replace it :(()

I checked on my system, the device-mapper service is not running here 
and I don't recall every having it running.  So far, everything works 
here. 

I would stop the service, remove it from any of the run levels and 
reboot and see what happens.  I guess in theory you could just go to 
single user mode but I would reboot if it were me.  If everything goes 
well then you may be able to remove it and cause no harm.


According to what I am reading, it is used for LVM.  Do you use that?  I 
played with it a little bit once so I guess that is how I got it on mine 
here.  That said, it appears something else depends on it:


[EMAIL PROTECTED] / # equery depends device-mapper
[ Searching for packages depending on device-mapper... ]
sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks-1.0.4-r3 (=sys-fs/device-mapper-1.00.07-r1)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / #

I would certainly test some things before removing this.  Just to be safe.

Just stop the service and remove it from all runlevels, that's it.

The elog message when installing device-mapper is quite clear If you are
using baselayout-2, be sure to run: # rc-update add device-mapper boot.
As the OP is almost certainly not using baselayout-2, it is masked, this
service should never have been added to any runlevel.

If he uses LVM then he may need it.  You are right on the baselayout but 
this got installed here when I was playing around with LVM.  I would 
hate for him to be using LVM and not have this when he reboots.  I 
didn't see any mention of this in the original post.  He may not use LVM 
but if he does. . . .


Also note, I have not used/installed baselayout to version 2 either but 
I still have this installed and it is needed by something else, that I 
may not need either.  I haven't went that far here.

[gentoo-user] Mozilla-sunbird problem

2008-03-08 Thread Anthony E. Caudel

I have a problem with sunbird (app-office/mozilla-sunbird-0.7).

I cannot set the start time of an event.  I try to set it and it 
defaults to 08:30 and is unchangeable.


No bug under BGO and no help from Google.

Anyone else seen/have this problem?
