Here are some things that I do: 1. My method is to keep grub.conf the same regardless of whether I'm hibernating or not: title Gentoo (Linux 2.6.22s2-r1) root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22-suspend2-r1 root=/dev/hda7 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED] splash=silent,theme:livecd-2007.0 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 initrd /fbsplash-livecd-2007.0-1280x1024 When the kernel has loaded, it then looks for a valid suspend image in swap (or hd). If it finds one, it uses it, if it doesn't, then it continues booting as normal. 2. I should mention that I'm using suspend2-sources. 3. the suspend2 users mailing list is an excellent place to find help with wierd my-system-won't-suspend issues. 4. my /etc/acpi/default.sh has this in it: case $ev_type in button) case $event in power) logger acpid: default.sh hibernate /usr/sbin/hibernate break ;; ... 5. and lastly if, when you boot, you can't resume, it sounds like you haven't specified where your suspend image is. Either in the kernel: CONFIG_SUSPEND2_DEFAULT_RESUME2=swap:/dev/hda10 or on the boot line: resume=swap:/dev/hda10 If that still doesn't help, post back with the output of `dmesg | grep -i suspend` after you've tried to resume. HTH, Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I can get enough functionality with swsusp from gentoo-sources and so not need to change to suspend2-sources - although that may be a very procedure? Anyway I have created a 32GB SWAP partition (dev/sda5) and gadded resume=/dev/sda5 to the boot options. And also made the suggested change to /etc/acpi/default.sh in point (4) above. Now when I press the soft power button the system suspends ( all processes appear to stop and the screen goes blank but for a flashing cursor in the top left of the 2 screens of my dual headed system) but after a few minutes the system resumes. It seems that either a wakeup message is being received or the hibernate script cannot actually power off the computer and so after a timeout period it resumes.

Up to date, but probably built against the wrong expat. Rebuild it,
and fontconfig, then run revdep-rebuild.
Thanks for the suggestion Neil. I have run emerge --onshot on
XML-Parser and fontconfig , and then ran revdep-build but the problem
remains.
Thanks again for trying to help.

So the thing I hadn't tried before starting this thread was to rebuild
fontconfig as Neil suggested.
Thanks Neil. How did you know that that was the solution?

Thanks Bo What started all this off was a eix-sync which I believe does as you recommend and which did upgrade to 2.1.2.12. Anyway the solution was to re-build fontconfig as recommended by Neil in another posting. How he knew that this needed to be done is a subject of another reply. Cheers again -- # ##### ## /###### /# / / ##### // /### ## / / ## ## ## ## ## /### ## ## ## ## ## / ### / ##### / ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] /### ## / / ###/ ## ###/ ## mobile: 07972184336 / ### ## / #### ## ## ## ## ##/ #### ## ## ## ## ## #### ## ## ## ## ## #### ## ## ## ## ## ##/# ## /# ## ## ##/ ## ##/ ## ### / ## ## ## ### ## # ## ##/ ### # / ###/ #/ ### Linux 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Index to /usr/share/doc/...html... a reinvented wheel?

Most of the time it's the HTML stuff I want to read, but it's a annoyingly laborious to wade through unindexed directgories and get a browser pointing to the right thing. So I wrote a little Perl script to create a top-level index.html, organized by package and with a bit of rudimentary pruning. I bookmarked it in Firefox, and can get to things a lot faster now. I like the result, and will continue to tweak it here and there. Did I just reinvent a wheel? If not, is there any point it trying to make this part of gentoo? If so, how would one do that? Current script attached. Thanks for the script - it seems to create the index file fine. However the index.html files are only readable by root. Is there a treat when running emerge to ensure files are readable by others? -- # ##### ## /###### /# / / ##### // /### ## / / ## ## ## ## ## /### ## ## ## ## ## / ### / ##### / ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] /### ## / / ###/ ## ###/ ## mobile: 07972184336 / ### ## / #### ## ## ## ## ##/ #### ## ## ## ## ## #### ## ## ## ## ## #### ## ## ## ## ## ##/# ## /# ## ## ##/ ## ##/ ## ### / ## ## ## ### ## # ## ##/ ### # / ###/ #/ ### Linux 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] about grub

But I`m NOT find the file menu.lst in /etc and /boot,Why??? and I install another kernel , Then write the file menu.lst at /boot/grub/menu.lst, But Grub DON`T read it when booting,Why?? anybody help me? thanks!! I had a similar issue. My boot partition contained a /boot/grub/menu.lst with the option: title Gentoo-2.6.20.r8 on /dev/sdb2 - hd1,1 root(hd1,1) kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/sdb6 but changes to /boot/bzImage-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 seem to have no effect. The cause was the value for root ( (hd1,1) ) which pointed to a different partition than the partition mounted as / and which held /boot. I had to mount hd1,1 which was /dev/sdb2 as /mnt/sdb2 and sure enough in /mnt/sdb2/boot I found the image that was run at boot time. I really need to tidy up my partitions! -- # ##### ## /###### /# / / ##### // /### ## / / ## ## ## ## ## /### ## ## ## ## ## / ### / ##### / ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] /### ## / / ###/ ## ###/ ## mobile: 07972184336 / ### ## / #### ## ## ## ## ##/ #### ## ## ## ## ## #### ## ## ## ## ## #### ## ## ## ## ## ##/# ## /# ## ## ##/ ## ##/ ## ### / ## ## ## ### ## # ## ##/ ### # / ###/ #/ ### Linux 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Is Gentoo Healthy? (The Return)
On Tue, 3 Jul 2007 09:07:24 -0700 Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In December 2006 I started a thread titled Is Gentoo Healthy? in which I was roundly put down for raising the possibility that the decline in the number of Gentoo users could possibly affect the remaining Gentoo users in a negative way. Is everyone still toeing that line? The Gentoo Weekly Newsletter hasn't been published in almost two months. Is Gentoo destined to be just another distro starved for contributors and struggling to stay up to date? If so, I really misjudged it. The meta approach of Gentoo is superior to any other in my mind, and I think it's growth and potential are being stunted by the we don't need them attitude which perpetuates Gentoo's lack of usability features for beginners. Gentoo needs as many users as possible to reach its potential. It's a short-sighted mistake to think that non-contributing users do Gentoo no good. Non-contributing users become contributors as time passes. Car mechanics all start as car drivers. - Grant As an experience Windows programmer who was moving into Linux last summer I started off with Ubuntu. The ease with which it installed and updated itself was a big surprise and pleasure. But then as my knowledge grew I decided to use a more demanding distro which in my case would allow me to learn more about how a Linux system works; and so I chose gentoo. Sure there was a hurdle of a couple of days to get it installed but I have not come up against any problems apart from my own lack of experience. All in all the choice was a good one. Gentoo appears to be very stable and the e-builds seem to be quite up to date - although I have to use the ~amd64 keyword on most packages as x64 support lags behind x86. One problem I have however is knowing how to choose between all the different ways of doing things. I recently tried to get the interface to my Kodak camera working and went down several blind alleys before discovering that each actual alley was no longer the best ways of doing things due to changes in the kernel or new tools. So sure on the surface things do not appear to be changing much in gentoo but that does not mean it does not work - just that it is stable. Paul -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
