Then try gtk-chtheme (emerge gtk-chtheme). This will allow you to change the settings for both the font name and size of the GTK2 fonts used on your system (it lets you change the theme too, but you probably don't care about that).

Great idea, Rafael, but that may break other updates, if any of them (like xmms, mplayer, xine, etc) use the real USE flag which is probably what's dragging in realplayer in the first place. I'm having exactly the same problem. The USE flag real is what is bringing realplayer in. In my case, I set it to add functionality to mplayer. When I remove it, no attempt is made to download realplayer. There are two issues: first, I've seen some discussion indicating that the real flag shouldn't bring in realplayer, just the libraries necessary to allow mplayer to play real media; Realplayer is proprietary software (just as *.rm* files are a proprietary media format). They are not open source, so the libraries cannot be brought in separately; they are attached to Realplayer itself. After realplayer is installed, then mPlayer can find the libraries and use them. That's why using the real USE flag brings in Realplayer. second, the download of realplayer is blocked by failure of ssl to recognize a certificate. Curiously, I can go to the site, download the files manually, and no certificate issue appears. Downloading the files didn't solve the problem for me, the ebuild didn't seem to recognize the downloaded files. Maybe I put them in the wrong place. The downloaded file should be placed in /usr/portage/distfiles. Perhaps you've downloaded the wrong file? I have Realplayer 10.0.6 installed, and the file in my /distfiles folder is RealPlayer-10.0.6.776-20050915.i586.rpm I was hoping waiting a few days would get the problem solved, but I see it's still there. I don't remember having any problems with the certificate, but simply downloading the file and placing it in /usr/portage/distfiles should allow the emerge to continue.

Hi, I'm also curious to the answers to this question ;-) I just received (yesterday) my new AMD64 comp, and am busy installing it too as 64bit. I found this link which does answer quite a lot: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-amd64-faq.xml This does however not say if users are successfully using 64bit systems, and if there are actual advantages to it (double-libraries for some programs etc etc).

RE: [gentoo-user] Yikes, what have I done 3 1 seconds beeps on boot
-Original Message- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harry Putnam Sent: 07 December 2005 02:33 To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: [gentoo-user] Yikes, what have I done 3 1 seconds beeps on boot I've been tinkering around with installing a new hdd for the last 1/2 hr or so, suddenly on shutdown I hear 3 beeps come from the computer I'm working on. Attempts to reboot bring 3 1 second beeps now too. One by one, I've disconnected each drive, beginning with the one I've been tinkering with. There are currently 3 HDD and 2 cdroms in there. What led to this situation: I had disconnected both cdroms and connected the new hdd on that controller as single master. Booted up without problems. The new drive appeared in dmesg but fdisk knew nothing about it. I've been using Lilo lately and I noticed a line in lilo.conf that told the kernel some bad info since I had disconnected cdroms and installed the new drive: (On the kernel line amongst other things) `hdc=ide-scsi' That was the same device noted in dmesg as belonging to the new drive. hdc: WDC WD3000JB-00KFA0, ATA DISK drive I removed that from lilo.conf and reran lilo then shutdown. As mach was shutting down I heard those three beeps. Now I get the beeps when I try to boot and no bootsky. Its an intel D850MV mobo and on intel pages it tells me 3 beeps mean a memory problem. Just in case, I removed and reseated the memory cards, also tried booting with first one then the other mem card (2 256 cards). No change in beeps. I even tried booting without any installed... I'm not sure if that would invoke the beeps anyway, but I did hear them. Its been my experience thru life that usually, in fact nearly always, if you have trouble with something after working on it, its very very likely to be something you just did or had your hands on. I'm still wanting to believe this is something simple I did with the drive. However after disconnecting all drives ribbon and power source, I still hear the beeps, and don't get past that. If the mobo manual says 3 beeps is a memory problem then that's that. MEMTEST 86 should pick up anything wrong with it. On the other hand you may have disturbed any jumpers/ribbons associated with the memory controller. In my limited experience, all beeps that I've experienced were related to either dodgy, or incompatible memory modules. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Sandbox violations occur when a build of a package tries to modify something on your filesystem outside of the /var/tmp/portage/pkg/work directory. Put simply, the build of a package is not allowed to do silly things like add users to /etc/passwd, change file or directory permissions, remove or add files, etc. Having such things in a build is a bad idea for every distribution, because if you build a binary package and distribute it, it is very unlikely that those modifications can also be distributed in any sane way. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Firefox toolbar font size
I take it you don't have GNOME installed (beyond the gtk libs needed to run Firefox)? Then try gtk-chtheme (emerge gtk-chtheme). This will allow you to change the settings for both the font name and size of the GTK2 fonts used on your system (it lets you change the theme too, but you probably don't care about that). Fixing that should fix the menu fonts and font sizes for the GTK applications you name. KDE apps pretty much need the KDE Control Center to do the same thing for KDE apps. Hope this helps. Holly Ok emerged gtk-chtheme and it works perfectly for all the apps except Open Office and Firefox. Notably those are the 2 binaries that I emerged. hmmm curious, any ideas?

Re: [gentoo-user] Optical mouse lights off on kernel 2.6.14 but works on kernel 2.4.30
I'll try that, if it doesn't work, I'm going to give up and use the 2.4 kernel. It's an openmosix kernel, so I can have a cluster up and running at my house. Question: Is portage working ok with OpenMosix now? 2005/12/7, Mariusz Pękala [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On 2005-12-07 02:24:51 -0200 (Wed, Dec), Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales wrote: And the answer is... 42. Turns out I was asking the wrong question. The whole problem about it is that the 2.6 kernels detect my mouse as a ImExPS/2 mouse and not as a ImPS/2. What I need is to find a way to tell the psmouse module (PS/2 Mouse Kernel Module) to exclude ImExPS/2 as a protocol for my mouse. Maybe module parameter will work?

Works perfectly. To run Firefox with Flash and Sun's Java, you can use 32 bit firefox-bin. Works perfectly fine when Flash is installed via Portage. As for Sun's JRE, you'll need to extract it yourself and just add a link to its plugin so in mozilla's plugins directory. This information is available in the AMD64 related documents on http://gentoo-wiki.com I also compiled Mozilla with VLC plugin for streaming stuff. Mplayer-bin which is 32 bit, is also installed for win32codecs to work. I don't use XMMS, I use amaroK. Works perfectly. So does ALSA. There's a nice guide in GPD for creating 32 bit chroots.

since 2.6.14 the kernel stops early before vesafb. The last lines look like this (taken from dmesg of 2.6.13): have you tried booting of a kernel without vesafb? yes and no. I didn't remove the VESA VGA graphics support from the kernel. But I booted without any vga= parameter. Otherwise I'll see just a blank screen. Are there good reasons to remove VESA from kernel?
