Well, contrary to my expectations, my system (after emerge -uDNav world) exhibits every one of the problems that you had. At least you can take solace in the fact that you're not alone. I really need some gnome apps (especially gnucash for my checking acct and evolution for my schedule). I have plenty of data backups but no backup machine. A reinstall is possible, but of course painful. I could start emerge -e world I would just like some agreement that this is not likely to make things worse. Currently with emacs and firefox, I can read/send mail, and prepare and view my (html) class notes. So I do have something to lose. Hopefully someone will give us some help; this group is very good for that. allan My experience was similar to yours. I found that I had to turn off the option that saves your session when you log out, and then delete the file ~/.gnome2/session. After this, my new session would open up OK and the window manager would start working. I have no idea what is causing the problem, but it sure doesn't like something that is being written to the session file. Greg -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I should have defined what I meant a bit better. Is there a tool out there that allows a windows user to access linux directories with an explorer like interface, or in some fairly seemless way so that linux machines show up in `network places' or something similar. Something like an nfs for windows I guess. I've seen that very thing but it was an ancient non-developed app. There's something called CIFS in the kernel, but I haven't used it yet. It is apparently based on SMB and extends it. It may be worth a try. Has anyone else used this? -C Samba is CIFS is Samba. CIFS has been around in various forms since the early 90's. The Samba team based much of their work on the different CIFS implementations put out by Microsoft over the years. GB -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Acroread 7.0.5-r1 very slow startup
Urs Schuetz wrote: Acroread startup is very slow on my gentoo sistem. It takes more than 2 minutes to start acrobat on my old AMD Duron 800 MHz. Also on further startups the load time stays more or less the same. I can confirm the same behavior on my system. 800 MHz hyperthreaded P4, and top shows that one of the cores hits 100% while acroread is starting up. It takes nearly three minutes to load, and strace shows it hanging at the same places. I'll probably go back to 7.0.1.1. Greg -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

There is a bug open about it on bugs.gentoo.org I believe, but the workaround for now is: mv ~/.adobe/Acrobat/7.0/Cache/UnixFnt07.lst ~/.adobe/Acrobat/7.0/Cache/UnixFnt.old touch ~/.adobe/Acrobat/7.0/Cache/UnixFnt07.lst That worked for me atleast. Works for me too. Thanks Mark. Greg -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I'm so surprised that something has gone terribly wrong here (that ebuild looked so pretty when I read it ;) ). Holly I had the same problem on installation. It appears that the 'laby' script is not being created in /usr/games/bin. I created my own simple script to cd into /usr/lib/laby and execute ./laby from there -- works fine now.

Nick Rout wrote: did you have the laby wrapper script in /usr/local/portage/games-roguelike/laby/files ?? I posted the wrapper script with the first version of the ebuild. Nope, I didn't keep a copy of it at the time. To be considered complete, the ebuild should either include a copy of the wrapper or should create it on the fly. The user shouldn't have to do anything more than emerge laby. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
