[gentoo-user] Mozilla-sunbird problem
I have a problem with sunbird (app-office/mozilla-sunbird-0.7). I cannot set the start time of an event. I try to set it and it defaults to 08:30 and is unchangeable. No bug under BGO and no help from Google. Anyone else seen/have this problem?

You are right on the baselayout but this got installed here when I was playing around with LVM. I would hate for him to be using LVM and not have this when he reboots.

Also note, I have not used/installed baselayout to version 2 either but I still have this installed and it is needed by something else, that I may not need either. I haven't went that far here.

Someone may come along in a moment with better advice, but as a first step I'd `equery b /etc/initi.d/device-mapper`. If it says that device-mapper doesn't belong to any of your current packages then I think you can safely (remove it from the default runlevel and subsequently) delete it, otherwise I'd reemerge the package to which it belongs. Baselayout has a bunch of init scripts and utilities that all the other init scripts need, plus /etc/conf.d stuff ("equery f baselayout" can tell you what exactly). You certainly don't want to unmerge that if you ever plan to reboot your system. I wouldn't recommend unmerging it if it were needed, but `equery b /etc/initi.d/device-mapper` should show whether the file belongs to any package or not. If it doesn't belong to any package then it _should_ be safe to delete (but see my commend about removing it from the default runlevel first), and it should be safe to reemerge baselayout, should it belong to that package (or otherwise). Stroller. I checked on my system, the device-mapper service is not running here and I don't recall every having it running. So far, everything works here. I would stop the service, remove it from any of the run levels and reboot and see what happens. I guess in theory you could just go to single user mode but I would reboot if it were me. If everything goes well then you may be able to remove it and cause no harm. According to what I am reading, it is used for LVM. Do you use that? I played with it a little bit once so I guess that is how I got it on mine here. That said, it appears something else depends on it: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # equery depends device-mapper [ Searching for packages depending on device-mapper... ] sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks-1.0.4-r3 (>=sys-fs/device-mapper-1.00.07-r1) [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # I would certainly test some things before removing this.

At least your box's still running - that's an big improvement. On my box, each version I tried produced an complete lockup - even didn't need to start the Xserver for this. Obviously the kernel module is heavily broken. Debugging it showed up several strange things, like direct jumps into data areas (sometimes even static text strings), etc. Perhaps an similar issue like w/ Skype: they prefer investing their dev resources into code obfuscation instead of providing an stable product ;-O All this leads me back back to the conclusion I already had about 10 years ago: *NEVER EVERY* buy Nvidia cards.

[gentoo-user] git-send-email get garble
Hi, I usually use git-send-email to send my patch, and it work good before. But these day, every time I sent my patch with git-send-email, the receiver got garbled characters. But when I browser the email in my gmail(I CC every email to myself) in firefox, everything was normal. So I made a test. I git-send-email to my another email account which was not gmail account(mail.163.com) and this time, I got the garbled. I think the patch I have made is well. When I $cat mypatch, I got: // From c3971685da29b3cbcd52a707891ff2f5767f4274 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chuanwen Wu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2008 16:27:41 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] add new Signed-off-by: Chuanwen Wu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- new.txt |2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/new.txt b/new.txt index 8732dcf..9a71f81 100644 --- a/new.txt +++ b/new.txt @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@ -我爱你hello world +hello world -- 1.5.4.3 /**/ But my another email account received: // Signed-off-by: Chuanwen Wu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- new.txt |2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/new.txt b/new.txt index 8732dcf..9a71f81 100644 --- a/new.txt +++ b/new.txt @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@ -鎴戠埍浣爃ello world +hello world -- 1.5.4.3 /**/ You can see the difference.
