[gentoo-user] automake 1.4
Hello, I would like to emerge a new automake version. At this time emerge shows the 1.11.1 version but I need the version 1.4. I have found a security information that the package is masked because a vulnerabily. I need only the 1.4 version to compiling a source, after compiling I can remove the 1.4 version. I have emerged the sys-devel/automake- wrapper and try to emerge automake 1.4 with emerge -av = automake-1.4 or add them to my portage,mask. How can I install the 1.4 version temporary? Thanks Phil

In graphics ? There doesn't appear to be an option to do this in the client, even if there were it would still need to use su/sudo to modify a root-only file. You could file a feature request for the delete option. -- Neil Bothwick NOTE: In order to control energy costs the light at the end of the tunnel has been shut off until further notice... signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Edit /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf and remove the stanzas for the wireless points you no longer want. -- Neil Bothwick In plumbing, a straight flush is better than a full house. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] Problem with X fonts when restarting from hibernate-to-disk

Thanks for the pointer. It turns out it's not related to hibernate, but rather to an interaction with xrandr resolution-switching. I've recently discovered a streaming website that shows old cartoons and other shows ( www.liketelevision.com ). I have a 24" LCD display (1920x1200) but the website displays less than 640x480. No problem, I said to myself. I cobbled together a few scripts. The first one for switching to 640x480 mode... (I call it "640x480") #!/bin/bash xrandr -s 640x480 xrandr --output HDMI1 --panning 1920x1200+0+0 ...and a second one for 720x400... (I call it "720x400" #!/bin/bash xrandr -s 720x400 xrandr --output HDMI1 --panning 1920x1200+0+0 ...and finally one to switch back to "normal" mode... (I call it "1920") #!/bin/bash xrandr -s 1920x1200 The problem started at about the same time I discovered www.liketelevision.com and began switching resolutions to watch it. Here's a test... #Get values before any switching waltdnes@i3 ~ $ xdpyinfo | egrep "dimensions|resolution" dimensions:1920x1200 pixels (508x317 millimeters) resolution:96x96 dots per inch #Switch to 640x480 waltdnes@i3 ~ $ 640x480 waltdnes@i3 ~ $ xdpyinfo | egrep "dimensions|resolution" dimensions:1920x1200 pixels (1268x792 millimeters) resolution:38x38 dots per inch #Switch to 720x400 waltdnes@i3 ~ $ 720x400 waltdnes@i3 ~ $ xdpyinfo | egrep "dimensions|resolution" dimensions:1920x1200 pixels (3801x2376 millimeters) resolution:13x13 dots per inch #Switch back to 1920x1200 waltdnes@i3 ~ $ 1920 waltdnes@i3 ~ $ xdpyinfo | egrep "dimensions|resolution" dimensions:1920x1200 pixels (3801x2376 millimeters) resolution:13x13 dots per inch Here's a gem from the xrandr man page. Note the part that I have emphasized... --fbmm widthxheight Sets the reported values for the physical size of the screen. ***NORMALLY, XRANDR RESETS THE REPORTED PHYSICAL SIZE VALUES*** to keep the DPI constant. This overrides that computation. The solution to my problem is to include the 2 lines... xrandr -fbmm 508x317 xrandr --dpi 96 ...at the end of all 3 scripts. This forces the screensize and DPI back to their original values, and X is happy, and fonts fit properly. You learn something new every so often. -- Walter Dnes
