Re: [gentoo-user] xlsfonts shows only a few fonts
thanks guys, i solved my problem. i ask this question because my emacs cannot displays chinese, a there's no font for me to set. that is because i did not have the 'xft' feature enabled for my emacs. i recompiled emacs with 'xft' use flag, and my emacs works fine for me. ;) -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/
[gentoo-user] Can't get a DVD to burn.

I don't think the media is bad. It doesn't appear to be k3b since the other program fails too. I also updated to the latest testing but no difference that I can see. It does sometimes burn and sometimes if I try again it will burn but it's not getting any better. In the regular burning box, it says that mkisofs has crashed.

If one tries to modify the ebuild and test a change, the system issues a file size error.

I don't guess it matters who files it as long as it is filed. It's helpful if you can subscribe to email updates, and help test when revisions are available. Sometimes an ebuild is posted to as an attachment to the bug - you download it and add it to your local overlay.

And even if you've got nothing new to contribute to the problem, you can vote for bugs that are important to you. This wasn't filed on Gentoo's bug report. It was filed on KDE's bug report. So it's not a ebuild issue, it's just a lack of coding from upstream. I have a Gentoo account but I rarely file anything. Dale :-) :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] KDE4 doesn't heed hal keyboard settings
hey Frank, that was exactly my problem! :-) I also had ibus installed and I had those variables set. now they don't exist, my keyboard is [almost] working with HAL. now some other problems came up (like 1) when I press /, the cursor goes to the beginning of the text field and then the character / is displayed; 2) when I pressed DEL it emits PrtScn and then DEL). but it's a start, I've never imagined that ibus was the cause of this.

I am on ~x86, and Chinese characters works. xlsfonts -l lists all available fonts (though personally I prefer using xfontsel since it doesn't lock up the system the same way), more lines than there can fit in my rxvt buffer. Are there any font-related messages in the Xorg logs? You really need to provide a LOT more information before we can help you: (1) Any interesting log messages from Xorg? (2) Config files for Xorg? (3) emerge -pv of the relevant packages? (4) Error messages from emacs? (5) Since you stated emacs and not xemacs, are you running it in a terminal emulator in X? and if so, which one? These are just some of the ones that comes to mind, feel free to add more information that you think may be useful. Cheers, W -- Willie W.
