[gentoo-user] KDE Upgrade (4.7.4 - 4.8.1) changes behavior of new tab button in Konsole
Yesterday I did the upgrade of KDE (4.7.4 - 4.8.1) on my stable workstation. Now the new tab button in Konsole opens a new tab with the _default_ profile instead of opeing a new tab with the _current_ profile like it did before. This is most annoying as I have one profile for each machine/user I manage and until now I could just click the new tab button and get a new window on the host that I am currently logged into. Is there any parameter to restore the old behavior or is this hard-coded (I really hope not or I will have to start looking for a new terminal emulator with tabs that work like I want it). -- Dan Johansson, http://www.dmj.nu *** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! ***

That's one reason why many of us using LVM keeps /usr on LVM while / as a physical partition. This allows for maximum flexibility, and is a supported legacy config without an initrd. I may add many of us had bad experience with initrd from binary distros rendering system unbootable (I've been there with Debian and Arch --- back in 2003 or so you cannot uninstall currently running kernel initrd after installing a new kernel, or else the next time your newly installed kernel won't boot. Also sometimes the newly installed kernel+initrd won't boot, and neither would the old kernel+initrd...).

I've had so many obscure printing problems after updating the cups package, I just routinely delete and recreate the printers before I even try to print something. Usually fixes my printing problems. OK, I tried that (though it turns out it wasn't the problem, see below). I'm glad I wrote down my about-to-be-deleted config first. localhost:631 has got to be the cruddiest GUI configurer around. I think I had to describe my (USB connected) printer as scsi, and then a little later had to enter a NAME, without any indication being given of whose name. Luckily, I have enough experience to guess correctly, 'cause there's no help on these things. How I hate cups! My actual problem was that my printer is on /dev/lp0, generated by mdev. When I switched back to a udev system, the printer's on /dev/usblp0 (which is a symlink to /dev/usb/lp0). There doesn't seem to be anything in any cups config file to specify the device to print to. The nearest thing to a config item is DeviceURI usb://Samsung/ML-1450 in /etc/printers.conf. I think you mean /etc/cups/printers.conf ? I don't know where usb:// is defined - Firefox rejects it straight off. I don't know how this URI is converted to /dev/usblp0, but it seems to be hard coded in effect. So, can I configure usb://Samsung/ML-1450 as /dev/lp0? In your printers.conf try something like: DeviceURI usb:/dev/usb/lp0 or DeviceURI usb:/dev/usblp0 For parallel connection it would be something like: DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0 Don't forget to restart cups. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Let's see, boot a CD, just do a reinstall from scratch and call it a day. This is ridiculous when you can't tell a boot loader to boot the second drive and it actually do it. Heaven forbid if I had two Linux OSs on here. :-) :-) As we are out of rational ideas, have you tried unplugging the old disk? You don't need it for booting at the moment, right? AS SATA is hot-plugin capable, you can re-insert it later. Regards, Florian Philipp Well, if I unplug it, how am I going to change the partitions and copy the OS back over to it?

Someone has borked grub tho. This worked just a few years ago. All I changed back then was the root=/dev/sd** to whatever you want to boot. Now it acts like it is hard coded to never change once booted. I just hope the thing boots after I change things around.
