[gentoo-ppc-user] how to install gentoo with livecd kernel file on ibook G3?
I tried several times to find the kernel file inside livecd, such like 2.6.19-gentoo-r5-apple. but I could not get it. anyone knows how to use livecd kernel to install gentoo on ibook g3? Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/how-to-install-gentoo-with-livecd-kernel-file-on-ibook-G3--tp24099583p24099583.html Sent from the gentoo-ppc-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
[gentoo-user] Umlaut trouble in filenames
Hi there! I have a problem with umlauts in file names. They are working fine when I create a file, but I have lots of files I moved from my former system that show umlauts just as a question mark. I think I transferred them via NFS. I have lang=de_de.u...@euro set now, before it was unset. Those umlaut files refuse to play in applications like amarok2. I can rename them with mv on the command line, making use of tab completion, but it's annoying. So, does anyone have a trick to automate this? I tried using tr. Using od -t x1 I see that what has to be 'ü' comes out as 0374 (octal). But echo ü | od -t o1 gives 0303 0274 which tells me that in unicode the umlauts are coded as two bytes. But I think I cannot use tr to replace one character by a sequence of two characters. And with sed, I don't know how to express the source string, it does not seem to be capable of octal notation. The only way I see is to use tr to replace the original ü with some special character like €, and then use sed to replace € by ü. And repeat this for [äöüÄÖÜß] and all the accented characters which I do not know how to type here with nodeadkeys option set in xorg.conf (I'd be interested in how to do this, too). Do you have simpler ideas? Wonko

Hello All, Is there an option I am missing in Thunderbird's Lightening extension, or some other way to get alarms to appear when Thunderbird is not running? I have noticed also that if Thunderbird is shutdown at the time of a reminder popping up, it does not pop up later after the fact when Thunderbird is started. Thanks Sean
[gentoo-user] Problem with the graphic card
No one answered to my mail so far Do you mean I should switch to windows ? ;-) Please, can someone give me some hint? Do you need some more information to be able to help me? I have a ThinkPad lenovo R500 running the latest GENTOO. Here is what I found so far. Everything works, but I have 2 problems: 1) OpenGL screen saver do not works 2) Graphic is not very fast. I think the first problem is related to the second one. I think (but I'm not sure) that the source of my problem is this: x...@localhost ~ $ glxinfo | grep renderer OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer However, x...@localhost ~ $ glxinfo | grep direct direct rendering: Yes x...@localhost ~ $ dmesg | grep -i agp [1.708652] Linux agpgart interface v0.103 [1.708775] agpgart-intel :00:00.0: Intel Mobile Intel�� GM45 Express Chipset [1.709925] agpgart-intel :00:00.0: detected 32764K stolen memory [1.713030] agpgart-intel :00:00.0: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xd000 Can someone give me some hint about what to do/what to check?

Thank you in advance, Massimiliano Hi. What driver are you using with your graphic cart? Try x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.1.1, but this driver works bad with compiz. But you get better performance. Intel developers rework their driver and provoke this problems with performance. Soon there will be all good.

[gentoo-user] x11-base/xorg-server-1.5 is blocking x11-libs/libpciaccess-0.10.6
Usually these emerge blockages disappear after a few days, but this
one has been hanging around for a while. Apparently my google-fu is
pretty bad on this subject because I can't find anything useful.
Here are snippets from the most recent sync and -p update:
[nomerge ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-tga-1.2.0
[ebuild UD] x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2 [1.5.2]
[blocks B ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.5 (x11-base/xorg-server-1.5 is
blocking x11-libs/libpciaccess-0.10.6)
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
* installed at the same time on the same system.

=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99 required by ('installed', '/',
'x11-drivers/xf86-input-magellan-1.2.0', 'nomerge')
(and 63 more)
I suppose the first mystery is why it wants to downgrade xorg-server.
I do have an overflowing world file from my not understanding that
portage is not smart enough to figure things out better, but I have
been cleaning it up, and removing every single x11-driver entry
doesn't change it from wanting to downgrade.
The second mystery is why libpciaccess is involved in this. Is this
because xorg-server-1.4 can't tolerate a recent libpicaccess and needs
to downgrade? The message doesn't say that.
Is there a reasonable way to resolve this? X works fine for me as is
with 1.5.2, so I am not in a hurry to downgrade. But it is annoying
seeing this blockage week after week.

The 63 more is a clue. You haven't specified INPUT_DEVICES or VIDEO_CARDS
(or both) in make.conf, so you have installed drivers for everything, some
of which require an older xorg-server. Edit make.conf,re-emerge
xorg-server-1.5.2and do an emerge --depclean -a to remove the dross.
