Re: [gentoo-user] X Windows setup questions on my new machine
On Sun, Jun 27, 2010 at 08:26:25AM -0400, Willie Wong wrote Also, have you tried just using larger fonts on the console? If you emerge sys-apps/kbd, there should be some fonts in /usr/share/consolefonts. You can use setfont name to test which one you want to use (some of them are bigger fonts). You may also want to try media-fonts/terminus-font (what I use), it claims to have a 16x32 variant which is twice as large as the default console fonts. Thanks for the idea. I'm now using sun12x22. It gives me 160 columns by 54 rows. It's perfectly readable, although the right half of the text console screen is blank most of the time. Oh well, I'll probably be using vsplit in vim a lot more now. After finding a font you like you can set it in /etc/conf.d/consolefont to automatically load at boot time. I used to do that with vga=6 in /etc/lilo.conf and lat1-10 in /etc/conf.d/consolefont which combined to give me a nice crisp 48 row display. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org

This is the main reason why I haven't yet fully migrated my own VMs to ... KVM: It feels (and is) faster. Less overhead. I really appreciate the fact that it is in the kernel, you just enable it once and it is there ... Very little overhead, VMs feel fast and snappy. For gui I use virt-manager on top of libvirt, nice feature to have all your VMs at hand in one small gnome-applet ...

The root partition is definitely sda5, as also specified in the fstab file. One of the things you might consider doing is jumping into the busybox shell and poking around /dev for the names of the devices you have. (I'm assuming you boot with grub - that's what those messages look like to me.) You might be able to insmod all your modules from there, too, and see if you get the devices installed. Roc, in one of your posts, you listed your grub.conf line and, according to the gmane entry, anyway, it looks like it's split across two lines. Could it be that simple? Is your grub.conf entry for the kernel command on just one line? (Genkernel added the entry so I'm obviously grabbing at straws here)

I shudder to think of the CPU cycles that are wasted daily on scrolling all those directory names up the screen during an emerge --sync. 21293 of them on this box today, altogether.

[gentoo-user] X-Server-1.8 and Intel i915 modesetting stability
Hi list! I ran into a massive problem when I tried to update to xorg-server-1.8: When I tried to start it, the x-server didn't come up and wrote this error: (EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected. So I activated modesetting by default in the kernel and tried it again. Now I have two distinct problems: 1. On boot up, the screen goes completely black until the xserver is started. While I know my system long enough to recognize common boot errors by watching the disk and peripheral device activity, I wouldn't like to make a filesystem recovery blindfolded ;) 2. Once the XServer runs, it is extremely unstable. It gets killed and restarted by XDM every few minutes. dmesg and Xorg.0.log haven't shown anything suspicious. In the end that means that I'm currently stuck with xorg-server-1.7 and no modesetting.

Well, not really, because, despite my constant ranting and endless KDE4 problems, for which the only sane and obvious solution would of course be to dump this whole crap, I would really really hate to do so.

I feared that the complexity would make showstopping bugs happen more often, but on the other hand it is of course nice to have an integrated system, with things like the same file dialog for most applications. And so I got hooked. There were some problems, but most of the time it worked well. But with time I experienced some bitrot. Then I got a new PC, and gave KDE4.2 a try. Many many bugs, but most of them not really bad ones, but some nice new features instead. Like, konqueror still crashing often, but with recovery function. Kmail crashed even less - well, this was not hard. And I thought these little annoying bugs would be fixed soon. But this bugfixing progress was slower than expected. Some things never really worked. And big showstoppers happened, just as I feared before I began this whole KDE adventure. For example, when KDE4's password dialog stopped working.

Well, not totally, there are lots of other e-mail clients, and I can do most things in a plain text shell, but this meant some work, mostly because I had a hard time getting my passwords back.

Kevin, despite me considering your thread as mine now, I will open a new one about specific problems. [*] And a similar thing just happned yesterday. I wanted to go to bed, but I had to write an important e-mail first. I started it, and after some lines whole kontact froze. I killed it, started again, and the same happened. I killed it, wrote an e-mail to myself, which worked. I started the mail I had to write again, kontact froze after a little while. I killed it, wrote the mail in knotes first, pasted it into the composing window, added a CC, pushed the send button... kontact froze. Tried again, same result. Then I used thunderbird.

I'm still not sure what had happened with kontact, I guess it wanted to access the wallet when sending the mail, maybe also when making an automatic backup. Whatever. I restored a backup of my .kde4 directory that I had made one day ago, still no wallet. But with the next backup, 5 days old, I could log in. I finally found out I had to exchange the .kde4/share/apps/kwallet/kdewallet.kwl file, and all was back to normal. And I could finally go to bed. Wonko
Re: [gentoo-user] KDE? Get me out of here!
I have KDE4. It work's perfect. Try set Custom-cxxflags to off, maybe this will help. From my opinion KDE and QT 4 don't like customized C/CXX Flags, such as fomit-frame-pointer and similar. Try to set correct USE flags and first of all - add DBUS to default runlevel if Your Welcome screen don't work - it works for me. You should also have Hald for X.org configuration. BTW. I don't use any desktop mail client - I've chosen GroupOffice for web client with IMAP support and great tool for my work - safer because of laptop disk crashes or similar - data is stored external and it's delivered by OpenVPN with certificate nad data encryption. Chromium as major web browser, Subversion integrated with KDE, Wicd as network configuration daemon. Also Kadu as IM, wine + winamp, OpenOffice. Not installed Compiz for now, but I have it on my plans. Login screen works great, loading is realy fast. Only one problem with Bluetooth but i think it's device fault - device USB connector broken. Everyday working with dual-head 2 monitors - KDE 4 detects when I connect another monitor, soundcard and Xine integration into phonon works with no glitches. Other tools like SSH/SFTP integrated into konqueror works great - konqueror itself also perfect! It's good, it's fast, it's intuitive, it's better desktop software, it's XXI century desktop environment, not such as Gnome and funny icons trashroom on desktop. Why KDE? Because i like it. Don't say that this software SUCKS, _check_Your_config_. If You have problem try to remove .kde or .kde4 folder in Your home directory and recreate profile.

Re: [gentoo-user] slow x
On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 09:26:13PM +0200, mailinglist...@gmail.com wrote My x is a bit slow. Lets say I have a minimized web browser with a page with pictures and text. If I maximize it, the drawing of the page and the widgets doesn't happen instantly, but it takes a moment. Is this for all X apps, or just Firefox. If it's just text-rendering, try compiling Firefox with moznopango flag , either in /etc/make.conf or /etc/package.use. Note that this may disable non-English fonts. I have a radeon 7500 , 512MB of RAM, 1,5GHz AMD and fluxbox, 1.6.5-r1 x server. Is that 512MB the video card or your system ram? If it's 512MB system ram, that's probably your problem right there. Firefox will strain your system just by itself. Firefox is getting too bloated for its own good. SQL database and spell-check built in... what was the old joke about Mozilla 0.9... about:kitchen sink. Firefox is a mediocre operating system that lacks a lightweight web-browser. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org

Could it be that simple? Is your grub.conf entry for the kernel command on just one line?
