[gentoo-user] Font rendering broken in GNOME and GTK2 apps ...
Hi all, I'm new to the list as I didn't have a reason to complain about Gentoo since I use it. I was a frustrated Debian user before. :) But now a problem appeared I didn't get fixed so far. I did an emerge --sync and emerge world yesterday and since then my font rendering is broken in GNOME (ok, just partly - means: ie. several menu items not drawn, Mozilla bookmarks partly not drawn). Also Web pages in Mozilla are not readable sometimes (actually as if the don't have text in them). Scrolling a Web page with scrambled content make it appear correctly. Also does moving the mouse over the menu fix the correct display of the items in case there are some that are drawn incorrectly. I reverted pango to 1.12.0 but no change. So i re-emerged pango to 1.12.1. I reverted glib, no change, so I re-emerged. Hope anyone has a clue (or better: a solution). The emerge before yesterday was last Friday, FYI. No probs then.

[gentoo-user] VLC and Win32Codecs - Anyone success w/ playing Real/Quicktime?
Hi Guys, I asked this in the vlc mail-list already and was replied that VLC don't use external libraries like win32codecs. As such, it is not able to play rmvb (real Media) files and also it's current quicktime support is broken. I looked at the ebuild for vlc in gentoo and noticed the win32codecs USE flag. However, it does not seem to me that it is being honored in the compilation of VLC. Doing a configure --help of a VLC source does not have anything which shows the win32codecs usage. Has anyone in this list been able to successfully integrate Win32codecs into VLC and hence be able to play Quicktime/rmvb files? It is said that some Debian Sid people has managed to integrate it into their custom compilation. If anyone knows anything, would appreciate some heads up. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!

Re: [gentoo-user] insufficient emerge -t output
On 2006-04-13 06:28, Mantas Povilaitis uttered these thoughts: when I do emerge -uDp world, my (kde only) system wants to pull in a lot of gnome packages. When I add -t to see what wants them, it doesn't show: room17 mantas # emerge -uDpvt world [snip] If I understand how to read the tree correctly, gnome is pulled in as x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme dependency and gtk-engines as a dependency of x11-themes/gnome-themes. But this tree doesn't show what wants gnome themes and gnome-icon-theme. I would think the only time a package is shown as a top level object in the tree output from emerge is when it's included in the world-file.

So a google for fluxbox configure --enable-kde might help. If you are a little lucky, there will be a README or INSTALL file in the source tarball that will explain exactly what the configure options do.

Space v. Tabs (was: Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] vim c syntax)
On Thursday 13 April 2006 11:01, Kevin O'Gorman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote about 'Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] vim c syntax': set expandtab Converting tabs to spaces or vice-versa automatically is evil. They have distinct uses so just don't do it. Tabs are used to indicate separate levels of text where items are or can be nested and are appropriate for use in tables of contents (subsection titles have one more tab than section titles, section titles have one more tab than chapter titles, etc.), lists (numbered or bulletted), block quotation (imagine quoting an article that had quoted a speech), and the nested block structure of many programming languages. In addition their the language-specific roles, spaces are used to align arbitrary text, tabs alone are inappropriate because of the varying tab settings on varying computers. Even if 8 spaces was some kind of standard, it makes very little sense in non-fixed-width fonts, and trying to force end-user behavior is both arrogant and doomed to failure. (That's not what standards are about anyway -- standards give the end-user/consumer MORE choice by forcing programmer/producer OUTPUT to be interchangeable.) Tabs and spaces together can also be used for alignment, and when done properly the output changes based on the end-users preferences but looks good independent of those preferences. How this is done is left as an exercise to the reader. Tabs w/o spaces can only be used for alignment when the file format you are dealing with allows you to embed information about what tab-stops you are using. (Thus, ignoring the users' preferences entirely.) set shiftwidth=4 sw, number of spaces shifted left and right This is all the OP needed to get the behavior he wanted.

[gentoo-user] dialup + IPv6?
Hi, i have a normal DSL-connection. My provider only supplies a IPv4 address - and so my ppp0 does not have a IPv6 address. The IPv4 of ppp0 address changes every 24 hours. So i'd like to be abled to use IPv6 from my LAN which sits behind my Gentoo-based DSL router. I think, that 6to4 would be right for me. If i do a traceroute to the 192.88.99.1 (the host, that all the 6to4 packets goto), i get contact after really few hops. Great! I'm facing many many questions. My friend is telling me, that in theory, i would be abled to use IPv6 addresses based on the 6to4-address of the IPv4 address of my ppp0 - but that changes every 24 hours. A MASQ-target seems not to be available for IPv6 - so if my router disconnects/reconnets, all the computers in my LAN will have to change their IPv6 address.
