I do not use KMail, but you probably could replace this script with
kfmclient. I use that one from many applications (usually non-KDE ones).

Oddly enough, I have the same settings and it Just Works (tm) for me.  
kmail will use a new tab if I have a konq window open and will open a new 
knoq window if I don't already have one.

As an aside, it seems that kmail does /something/ to check to see if a 
existing konq window is responding -- if I click URLs too quickly, some 
will open in an existing window and others will open in a new window (with 
multiple tabs in that window if needed).

I have also developed the habit of middle-clicking links, since I use 
kmail+akregator inside kontact and akregator wants to use a khtml tab 
inside itself if I don't middle-click.

First of all I've no idea about qmail. But the command:
  emerge -C mail-mta/netqmail or emerge -C mail-mta/qmail
wont work because both packages are not installed on your
system. As for the netqmail blocking qmail and vice versa try
adding mailwrapper use flag (as said before I've no idea about
qmail).

Hope someone with better knowledge about qmail replies.

Folks, have you filed bug reports upstream at KDE (*not* gentoo)?

Even if comes from them for KDE 3.5.x, there is a very good chance to get the

What's going on here is that qmail depends on queue-fix which post-depends on 
virtual/qmail (a new style virtual) whose default provider is netqmail. 
netqmail blocks qmail which hence reverse blocks netqmail. ;)

Clearly the portage resolver is being retarded by not realizing that qmail is 
an alternate provider for virtual/qmail. Still I have to ask why you don't 
just emerge virtual/qmail and be satisfied with netqmail? After all it is 
supposed to replace qmail... The alternative appears to be to file a bug 
against portage.

Thinking about this one more time such a bug would probably be duped against 
bug #1343. If you really want mail-mta/qmail you simply need to put 
mail-mta/netqmail in /etc/portage/package.mask to help the resolver.

pull the ordering algorithm out of revdep-rebuild.  The algorithm is

* Get the list of packages that need to be rebuilt
* run emerge -e and use the ordering from emerge -e

Not using the algorithm actually causes revdep-rebuild to fail more
often (i.e just handing portage the list of packages to install). So for

Hey everybody,

I seem to have troubles installing qmail-1.03-r16,

I hate to be that guy, but why is anyone using an MTA that was last

development), it's simpler, easier, faster, and has more functionality

I could name a few:

  * Because I've been using for a long time and don't feel like
learning another MTA if i don't have to.  
  * I know it pretty well and I *trust* it.
  * It does everything+ I need it to do.
  * Is so secure that it hasn't needed an update since May 1998 ;).

Oops, you're right.  I am (almost) sure it had been hard masked some time in 
the past, I remember emerge --sync telling me all about it.  Anyway, it seems 
that playsound now works fine and I have added -arts to my USE flags.

While we're at it I might as well share this little sound problem/feature with 
you: 

When my laptop boots up the sound is always muted.  To kick start it I need to 
either increase/decrease the volume (Master, or PCM) using alsamixer, or 
press the dedicated volume hardware buttons on the laptop keyboard.  It can 
get more weird too:  If I have launched an application that uses sound 
directly like e.g. Amarok, then in addition I need to increase the volume to 
100% to get sound from both speakers.  Otherwise only the RH speaker works.  
Does this all make any sense to you?

Thank you both.  I also have it in /etc/sane.d/ as slocate tells me:

However, slocate does not pick up the /var/tmp/portage/dll.conf file - why is

[gentoo-user] net.eth0 startup

2007-03-06 Thread Samir Faci

I have weird behavior with my net.eth0 service.

I don't want it to start up by default, so I did the usual rc-update del
net.eth0 default and rc-update del net.eth0

it's not listed as a startup service, but still insists on starting up when
my computer starts up.

But is it secure after adding the thirty odd patches needed to make

with what you know though the change to Postfix at least was so painless 
I wondered why I didn't do it years earlier.


For all you new users picking your first MTA: pick something else

[gentoo-user] mysterious freezes when browsing Internet

2007-03-06 Thread Philip Webb
During the past few months, I've been bit by sudden total freezes
while using Epiphany  Konqueror to browse Internet sites.
The only way out is to hit the reset button: eg Ctl-Alt-F2 doesn't work.

At first, I believed it was a bug in Epiphany, which is good to use,
but not well-supported as KDE  Firefox.  However yesterday,
it happened in similar circumstances with Konqueror,
which uses quite different libraries  rendering.

It seems to happen when the browser is downloading images, esp adverts,
 I simultaneously use the middle mouse button to click or scroll.
I may have several news stories downloading in different tabs
 I middle-click on a link to open another tab or scroll down a list
 one of the other tabs is still downloading extra images.
This is the only situation in which it happens.

There are Forum threads covering other situations, which don't apply to me,
 the only thread which is similar is

  http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-521365-highlight-random+freeze.html

which does not offer any helpful advice.
There are no bugs answering to 'Epiphany freeze' or 'Konqueror freeze'.

I'm using Kernel 2.6.18-gentoo, KDE 3.5.6 , Epiphany 2.16.3  Xorg-x11 7.1 .
Otherwise, my system is very stable  problem-free.

Has anyone else run into this bizarre phenomenon ?
Does anyone have useful suggestions ?

The only time I had suffered similar symptoms to what you are describing (but 
with different applications) was when I had a bad memory problem.  No sooner 
had I changed the memory module, the freezes were gone.  Memtest86 did not 
show anything and it was only through trial and error that I found the faulty 
module.

Good luck.

freezes with 2.6.19 that seem to have left me when I went to 2.6.20.  I 
was getting various timeouts on my ata controller that show in the logs 
as the source of the freezes.   Of course I run ck-sources, so I don't

My freezes would occur in firefox mostly of course I am almost always

If you have MAGIC_SYSREQ enabled in your kernel config, you can do a
clean reboot fro the majority of lockups by holding Alt and SysRq and
pressing S, U and B in sequence, which respectively sync your drives,
unmount them (and remount read-only) and reboot.

It's a lot more friendly to your filesystems than hitting the reset
button and should work unless the kernel has crashed. 

As for the cause, faulty memory has already been mentioned and I would go
along with that. The fact that it happens when you have several sessions
running, and thus working memory harder, adds weight to the likelihood of
this.

So start with E (terminate all processes), I (Kill all processes), and then S,

Or even better, start with R and K. Sometimes you can wrestle control from X

When I test with an older version it works perfectly. This is the code I use:

(if window-system
   (progn
 (color-theme-initialize)
 (color-theme-vim-colors)
 (setq initial-frame-alist
   '(
 (border-color . #4e3832)
 (foreground-color . grey10)
 (background-color . ivory2)
 (active-alpha . 0.875)
 (inactive-alpha   . 0.75)
 (font . -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1)
 (top . 20) (left . 0) (width . 100) (height . 40))
   )
 (setq default-frame-alist
   '(
 (border-color . #4e3832)
 (foreground-color . grey10)
 (background-color . ivory2)
 (active-alpha . 0.875)
 (inactive-alpha   . 0.75)
 (font . -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1)
 (top . 20) (left . 0) (width . 100) (height . 40))
   )))

Why it doesn't work with this specific version?

Best regards

[gentoo-user] {OT} courier-imap folders

2007-03-06 Thread Grant

Can anyone tell me what these folders are for in my .maildir folder?

courierimapuiddb
courierimapsubscribed
courierimapkeywords
courierimaphieracl

I'm wondering if they're for the courier webmail client I'm not using.

[gentoo-user] Airlink101 usb2 ethernet - ASIX Chip

2007-03-06 Thread Ow Mun Heng
Anyone here has this particular usb ethenet? Got it cheap in Fry's
(USD2.99)
Been giving me headache.

usbnet gets loaded, but the connection see-saws between getting 30mbps
to 0mbps (transferring a large file)

it makes my nfs/cifs shares goes bonkers.

Any good experiences with these Airlink parts? (they recently have
airlink gigabit pci adapters going for USD5.99)

Re: [gentoo-user] Serial modem and permissions problem.

 I also went diggin in the groups file, there is a dialout group in
 there that *should* address this.  I mentioned in a early reply that
 this was likely a security thing.  Your link seems to show that it is
 that.  What I can't figure out is why no one warned us?  I only use
 Linux and only have one puter that connects to the net so if I didn't
 know to check the permissions of the modem, I could have been stuck. 
 Plus, I did get that error about my UPS.  That was really helpful
 there.  It actually showed me the permissions were wrong and I noticed
 they were changed from what they used to be.

 I also notice there is no mention of the uucp group in the link.  It
 does mention using the group ppp but not uucp.  Anyway, I plan to
 watch those udev config updates closer next time.  They have always
 worked before but I learned that *may* not always be true.

 Thanks for the info.

OK.  Here's my update.  I changed the config file, the 50-udev.rules
file, back to the way it was when it was updated.  I then added myself
to the uucp group and rebooted.  Well, my UPS didn't like that one bit. 
So I added nut to the uucp group too.  Then I rebooted again. 
Everything *appears* to be working fine.  Sorry for all the rebooting
but they are serial ports. 

Why did I decide to go and do all this right now.  Here is the funny
part.  Kppp could access the modem, it could tell it to dial out, it
could connect, even get the DNS servers, but it was NOT going to send
data or accept data like it should.  It was like spitting on a four
alarm fire.  It would send some but it was just a little bit at a time. 
Kopete worked fine though.  Go figure.  All that was run as a normal
user.  To test that this was permission related, I opened a root Konsole
and used wvdial to connect with.  The pages loaded like they should when
connected that way.  I knew then it was either Kppp or I still had some
lingering permission issues.  I suspected the later.

Lesson of all this, watch those udev updates.  They may work 99% of the
time but that 1% can drive you nuts.

All this because my power went out for about 2 hours.  Maybe I need a
bigger UPS.  ;-)

Thanks for all the help.

One more little update.  After a while I starting seeing the same thing
again.  I then remerged Kppp and it has been working for a while now. 
I'm not sure what change that would have made though.  Just thought I
would mention it in case someone else has the same issue.

 One note : le delay between the moment where I connect my PDA and the

you'll probably get more help on the synce ml or synce-windowsmobile5
