[gentoo-user] gnome: There was an error launching the application
Ive just updated some 180 packages on my gnome desktop. I now have a weird problem where if I click on a gnome program, it pops up a dialog There was an error launching the application. The apps in question work fine if run from a terminal. Icons on the taskbar seem to work ok (i.e., how I started the terminal). You can click on an image on the desktop and gimp starts, but it fails if you try and use its launch icon. So what program or app within gnome launches programs when you click on an icon? revdep-rebuils says everything is fine - but its been lying through its teeth on other systems of late so I dont trust it :) BillK -- William Kenworthy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home in Perth!

I didn't see this problem so at first blush it's not an endemic problem with the code. We have seen problems like this before with Gnome. The only solution I've come up with is to delete the existing .gnome directories. (All of them - 4 or 5 IIRC) Try creating a new user account and testing Gnome in that account. If it doesn't have problems then the existing account is getting hose by some incompatibility with the older Gnome stuff and the (ugly) solution is to get rid of it. Hope this helps, Mark
[gentoo-user] openoffice only works as root
After my last emerge -auvND world, openoffice stopped working
for non-root users. When I run
strace /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice -writer
I observe that the program hangs doing a waitpid() call on a
child that was forked to run /usr/lib/openoffice/program/oosplash.bin,
and oosplash.bin is hung waiting on this call:

If I run oospalsh.bin from the command line, the same thing
happens, it hangs trying to connect to a Unix domain socket.

It turns out that cron is attempting to send e-mail with uid/gid of crontab file owner, but it has USER=root and HOME=/root. That breaks /usr/sbin/sendmail (msmtp) since it can't read /root/.msmtprc when it's run as the crontab file owner. I tried setting HOME appropriately in the crontab file, but that didn't do anything -- HOME as seen by /usr/sbin/sendmail is still always /root. [IMO, this is a bug in vixie-cron.] A paritial work-around is to create a new user and group (I called it msmtp. The msmtp binary is set to run suid as the msmtp user, and the global config file /etc/msmtprc is readable only by user msmtp. /usr/bin/msmtp is then set to be executable only by users in the msmtp group, and users who are allowed to send mail are added to the msmtp group. This isn't really a general solution since when user FOO runs msmtp, it won't be able to read ~FOO/.msmtprc as it should unless ~FOO/.msmtprc is made readible to the msmtp user or group. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

If you can find any Linux boot CD (Ubuntu, Knoppix, etc) that can get you attached to your network, then you can use that to install Gentoo. Check Alternative Installation Method in the Gentoo installation manual. Alternatively, there should be a linux driver for your ethernet controller on Intel's site. If you can download it on another machine and copy it to your new one, maybe you can compile load the module during the installation. Good luck! Paul

If it is supported, how would I go about booting with a newer kernel? FWIW, I use the same box on my desktop and notebook. So I'd tweak the desktop kernel to include drivers and support appropriate for the laptop and recompile it; I'd install the necessary laptop stuff (e.g. special drivers, kismet, wpa_supplicant, etc.). Once you have that done, back up your brand new notebook; load up a live cd; use parted/gparted/qparted to resize the NTFS partition to an appropriate size; create some partitions for linux use; use NFS to copy your desktop OS to the LT; chroot into the notebook root partition and re-run lilo/grub after tweaking lilo.conf, xorg.conf, fstab, net, and perhaps syslog.conf; create a multi-boot option within the windows boot loader to jump to your linux boot partition. There are some real cons to this approach, but some real advantages as well: 1. you maintain only one OS, and copy it. 2. you have a second box ready to go if your primary breaks. 3. Why tear up a little laptop with the machinations necessary to maintain a gentoo box? HTH
