[gentoo-user] Bootup drops back to console from kdm
It must be a year or so now with all different kernels. On boot up kdm fires up, but within 5 seconds or so and while the use is busy entering their passwd on the kdm screen, it suddenly returns to the console. Alt+F7 brings them back to their kdm, but this behaviour is clearly wrong. I suspect that this is caused by dhcpcd getting an IP address, or vixie cron (the last two things shown on the console when the user gets dumped back on it) but I can't understand why these two services will cause such a problem on this machine, when other machines with the same services work fine. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this one? I can't see anything amiss on dmesg, or messages/syslog. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[gentoo-user] Xorg upgrade problem
Just upgraded X.Org X Server from 1.5.3 to 1.6.3.901 and all is not well. First problem noticed is that copy and paste in gnumeric isn't working. I used to be able to use the arrow keys to navigate, ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste. The paste operation isn't presently working. I rebuilt gnumeric, but it hasn't helped. 'cause of the gnumeric problem, I restarted X. It worked -- sort of. My screen resolution has dropped from 1280x1024 to 1024x768, which is not sufficient. I'm using a minimal xorg.conf -- no video and no screen details. My ASUS mobo has ATI Radeon X1200 support on it -- rather low end but totally adequate for my needs. A few weeks ago I encountered a similar resolution problem after restarting X. That was solved after discovering I had both x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati and x11-drivers/ati-drivers installed. I removed ati-drivers and all was good (until this upgrade). xrandr presently offers 1024x768 as maximum, which is the same as Xorg.0.log indicates. I have thoughts of downgrading to 1.5.3. Any better suggestions? Regards, David FWIW, I've attached the Xorg.0.log files for both 1.5.3 and 1.6.3

[gentoo-user] Portage should rebuild kaffeine after libdvdcss installed?
Hello all, I was getting some Japanese-bought DVDs to play correctly on my laptop, and I found that I after I installed libdvdcss from portage, portage did not think to rebuild kaffeine (or mplayer, etc), but that was necessary to get full viewing functionality. In the first case, I wonder if libdvdcss should be pulled in by the dvd USE flag. Secondly, I think portage ought to be smart enough to know to rebuild programs in such a case. It's no big thing of course, but I wonder if anyone else has thoughts on this. Regards, daid

In the first case, I wonder if libdvdcss should be pulled in by the dvd USE flag. Secondly, I think portage ought to be smart enough to know to rebuild programs in such a case. Nope. What you have to do is to set up the correct use flags for xine-lib (dvd). All the dependencies will be pushed, you don't even have to implicitly install libdvdcss. When a given use flag is changed portage will detect and recompile all the required packages with a simple emerge -auDVN world. I think this is a typo. The command should be emerge -auDvN world. The upper case V would only print the version of portage. That should therefore be a lower case v. Well spotted, yes, it's a typo. Thanks for the correction. :) -- Jesús Guerrero
[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] Re: device eth0 does not exist
Thanks for all the input. I have the network up again. I'm not exactly sure how. I've compiled the e1000 in the kernel. The only thing I've changed is this kernel option ... Device Drivers -- Network Device Support -- Ethernet 10 0r 100Mbit -- EISA,VLB, PCI and onboard controllers * I don't know if that's it, but I'm online again. I've been over menuconfig so many times I don't know which is up. Also, I apologise for my fragmented posting. I subscribed no-mail. P.S. I may be arcane, but I don't wear panties:) _ Get your FREE, LinuxWaves.com Email Now! -- http://www.LinuxWaves.com Join Linux Discussions! -- http://Community.LinuxWaves.com
