[gentoo-user] Several Gentoo-Problems
Hi, after a upgrade i ran into the following problems: (emerge --deep --upgrade --newuse world) I habe to Network Interface Cards installed in my machine: one VIA-Rhine-II and one 3Com 3c59x. Now the cards get randomized at every boot, sometimes teh VIA is eth0, sometimes the 3Com. I want the 3Com to be eth0 at every time, how to fix this? If i launch gnome-volume-control, i get the following message: gnome-volume-control: symbol lookup error: gnome-volume-control: undefined symbol: __gst_debug_min I already searched the web, re-emerged gstreamer, gstreamer-oss, gstreamer-alsa but still no solution. Everytime i log into Gnome, the gnome-settings-daemon crashes, and bug-buddy shows up. If i press Cancel in Bug-Buddy, gnome-settings-daemon crashes again and again. If i move the Bug-Buddy-window to Workspace 4 everything works fine and the settings are correct. Also the settings-daemon is running. This happens after i emerged the clearlooks-theme. The machine is AMD XP 1500+/256 MB RAM And yes, i did etc-update recently. Thanks for any pointers in the right direction. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I'm not sure how much this will help but I read this the other day when someone else was having simalar problems. You can tell udev to set the names each time to the same thing. It is done through udev rules if I recall correctly. I think it does it by using the mac address too. I don't know how to do it but you may can search the forums or the archives here and find a fix faster than waiting on a guru to roll out of bed. ;-) I hope this helps, get you started anyway.

HDTV can support up to 1920x1440 I think, but here in Aust. we only get 1600x1080 or something stupid like that. Unless it's a high end HDTV, you may not be getting 1920x1440. Try changing the resolution to 1024x768, then work your way up. Also try and get the frequencies of the tv, and set those explicitly. HDTV is 1280x720 or 1920x1080, either progressive (eg 720p or 1080p) or interlaced (1080i) If his HDTV only does 1280x720 (very possible, most 32in panels I saw when I worked for an electronics store up until this summer were usually something like 1366x768 native res or such) then it is very possible his 20in LCD supports a higher resolution, like 1680x1050 (widescreen) or 1600x1200 (4:3).

[gentoo-user] Nvidia and Minefield?
Hello, list. I'm running Gentoo on my box, and got (almost) everything on ~x86, with the exception of gcc, glibc and binutils, as these have rendered my box completely b0rked in the past. (un?)fortunately, this machine has an nvidia graphics display, and we all know nvidia linux drivers are very far from perfect. I myself have seen all kind of strange behaviour and lockups with them on various machines. Now, I'm helping test Minefield (a.k.a. Firefox 3). And here comes the problems: - If I try Minefield with nvidia drivers, I experience X lockup (100% cpu and completely unresponsive) as soon as I try to either open a message on Gmail or try to compose a new mail. I was going to post this message when it locked. - Firefox 2 with nvidia drivers seem to be OK (I'm posting this right now on it). - X with opensource nv drivers eat 80% cpu time even when doing nothing. My box becomes very sluggish, and it looks like my old 486 dx2 :) I find it very strange that Minefield can bring X down by simply opening a message or trying to compose new mail. I have managed to reproduce this error here several times. When this happens, I have to ssh in, kill -9 X, and then wait a bit for gdm to restart it. This is very very annoying. If I could, I would leave nvidia forever, but I guess there are no better (or less worse) alternative, so I must stick to these crappy drivers. Also, this seems to have started after I had to replace nvidia-drivers with nvidia-legacy-drivers. Any ideas?

Assuming you just upgraded to udev-103, run:

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules exists, persistent interface names

Ok, i can remove the second card from this desktop-system because i really do
not need it at the moment. But i am looking for the gentoo way to solve this
problem, especially if you have three network cards from the same vendor.
If i launch gnome-volume-control, i get the following message:
gnome-volume-control: symbol lookup error: gnome-volume-control: undefined
symbol: __gst_debug_min
I already searched the web, re-emerged gstreamer, gstreamer-oss,
gstreamer-alsa but still no solution.
Everytime i log into Gnome, the gnome-settings-daemon crashes, and bug-buddy
shows up. If i press Cancel in Bug-Buddy, gnome-settings-daemon crashes again
and again. If i move the Bug-Buddy-window to Workspace 4 everything works
fine and the settings are correct. Also the settings-daemon is running. This
happens after i emerged the clearlooks-theme.
I don't use gnome, so I cannot say for sure, but maybe you need to do
a revdep-rebuild to rebuild anything with broken dependancies?

However, the first two output lines are: ash: compgen: warning: -F option may not work as you expect bash: COMP_WORDS: bad array subscript If it doesn't, we can almost be sure that the problem is not with the bash-completion script itself, since invoking compgen -F _longopt should be the same as when you type less tabtab on the commandline. (At the same time, it might put hunting down the exact problem out of my league.) You mentioned that it seems to freeze for all completion you tried, have you tried the following: unzip tabtab (should just show a list of files ending in zip, ZIP jar, exe, pk3, etc...) xv(a list of image files) qiv (a list of image files) vim (a list of files that are not image files or archives) and kill tabtab (should return a list of pids) can you please try those and report back? Yes, it all works as expected. I also tried userdel as root, and it displays the names of existing users. The trivial filename completion (less RE) also works. The same for tar, which displays A c d r t u x. So, everything seem right. The problem is that it froze the box then, even if not now.

I think there is nothing wrong at the moment, via-rhine should be the eth0

via-rhine after the next boot).
Both (er, all if you happen to have more than 2) interfaces will need
to be listed there for it to be effective. The problem is that if
some device comes up without a rule and grabs eth0, then udev won't
take eth0 away from it when a device with a matching rule comes up.
So if one is missing, remove/rename the file as Iain suggested and
re-run the script.
Any hints, also about the gnome-settings-daemon problem?
Well the other old standby advice is to remove/rename ~/.gnome, so you
end up with the default gnome settings again, and see if that helps.
