I've had problems galore this week. Yesterday I had to re-merge evince because my pdf view wasn't working. This morning I had to re-merge gtk+ because file-roller and seamonkey weren't working. I rebuilt my kernel (2.6.17-gentoo-r8) in yet another attempt to upgrade to media-tv/ivtv-0.8.0 because the kernel didn't have CONFIG_VIDEO_CX2341X set. Can anyone help me with this? I simply can't find it. Yesterday an etc-update asked me to review a proposed change to /etc/rc.conf. I said to go ahead and replace it, thinking that I could modify the new one with my custom options later. I did notice that the option for X login screen was gone (gdm/kdm/xdm). Where has this moved to? When I rebooted with my rebuilt kernel (which still does not have that stupid option included) I was met with the cold boring xdm login screen. I want gdm back. Any ideas how I can get it? When I logged into Gnome, my two panels were frozen (fixed that with killall gnome-panel), but my mini-commander applet crashed (repeatedly with repeated killall gnome-panel). Is there a way for me to find out why it crashed and how to fix it? I had to re-merge evince again this morning because nautilus wouldn't work. (Why are all these libraries suddenly failing? revdep-rebuild reports nothing amiss!) Evolution-2.6 freezes immediately after startup (I'm writing this in squirrelmail - seamonkey works, for now at least.) Here's the output in my terminal from it:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ evolution-2.6 Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge": libatk-bridge.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory GTK Accessibility Module initialized (evolution-2.6:7159): Gnome-WARNING **: Accessibility: failed to find module 'libgail-gnome' which is needed to make this application accessible (evolution-2.6:7159): Gnome-WARNING **: Accessibility: failed to find module 'libatk-bridge' which is needed to make this application accessible CalDAV Eplugin starting up ...

(evolution-2.6:7159): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with NULL parameter. I don't see anything in that output that tells me why it's freezing. the camel_exception_get_id thing is kinda ominous, but I think it always says that when I start it from the terminal. Also, is there a way to find out if my firewall is actually running at any given time? I use ipkungfu, but when /etc/init.d/ipkungfu status says it's running, I can't find anything in ps about ipkungfu or iptables. Is there a way for me to know for sure? Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated... -- [email protected] mailing list
