Re: [gentoo-user] Firefox 3 stability

Jason, That's totally weird. Couple things that could cause this -- try disabling any composting window managers you may have running to see if that makes a difference. Also, is your computer stressed out (100% cpu usage) when you view the page? I've noticed that, among other things, GUIs in

Almost all snd-hda-intel sound cards need quirks added to /etc/modules.d/alsa Under the auto-generated configuration add: options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack Once that is done, save the file and run: update-modules Once that has completed (you may need to update-modules --force if it

Re: [gentoo-user] vlc wants to slot ffmpeg?

2008-06-27 Thread Brian Johnson
Stroller, This doesn't mean that ffmpeg is slotted. It means that the version of VLC you're trying to merge depends on an OLDER version of ffmpeg. VLC has some major issues with later versions of ffmpeg that are being handled rather poorly upstream. So unfortunately, if you want to use a stable

Re: [gentoo-user] Anyone else's Gentoo unruly lately?

2008-06-27 Thread Brian Johnson
Grant, I've had a lot of problems lately upgrading ~arch and masked packages. This is expected (obviously) but 99% of the time I am able to fix them myself without going through support resources. If you're using any that are ~arch and in packages.mask perhaps that is why you're having problems

Well, the README in the source of this package says: This package contains a few python modules that used to live in gnome-python-extras: - gnomeapplet - gnomeprint, gnomeprint.ui - gtksourceview - wnck - totem.plparser - gtop - nautilusburn - mediaprofiles - metacity

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] xorg.conf gui editor

2007-08-24 Thread Brian Johnson
This program certainly does look nice, I wonder how it will play with nvidia-settings and the equivalent ATI program. Given Ubuntu's fairly large dependency on gnome, I'm betting that this program has the usual gnome dependencies. Since I use Xfce, I will likely not use it because of that.

[gentoo-user] Problem with Suspend-to-RAM and Virtual Consoles

2007-05-25 Thread Brian Johnson
I've got an interesting problem when attempting to Suspend-to-RAM (S3) and virtual consoles. I swear, three days ago it was working and I didn't change anything (I don't think) at least that would change how this works (i.e. kernel, drivers, whatever) With that said, here's my problem (and what

Actually, Will you are a bit wrong. Restarting the ipw3945d service yields the same results. Here's what happens when I restart the ipw3945 service: # /etc/init.d/ipw3945d restart * Stopping eth1 * Bringing down eth1 * Stopping dhcpcd on eth1 ... [

Re: [gentoo-user] Replacing 'eth0' with 'wlan0'

2007-03-07 Thread Brian Johnson
Abraham, I think what you may want to do is adjust the DHCP timeout for eth0. For ethernet devices, it's pretty good to assume that if after 10 seconds it doesn't receive DHCP it probably wont. So on my laptop, in /etc/conf.d/net I have: dhcpcd_eth0=-t 10 Which will timeout eth0 after 10
