OK, I didn't know that.  I also had the same problem when using startx,
so I will attach my .xsession-errors along with the Xorg.0.log file.

[gentoo-user] Local root exploit (not?) working...

2013-05-15 Thread Jarry

Hi Gentoo-users,

have you noticed the latest local priviledge escalation exploit?
http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/121616/semtex.c

Actually, it does not (?) work on my box even with PERF_EVENTS,
but when I compile  run it (as non-root user), my system is
instantly restarted. So it seems that gentoo-sources 3.7.10-r1
are at least partially affected. I hope to see fix soon!

 And now that GNOME 3.8 is out, the game starts over again: logind

 it or not, the thing that Ubuntu did.

  Do you have systemd/logind installed?

I read that too on gentoo-dev. I have systemd installed, but currently I
do not use it as init. I have tried it with systemd as init, but it has
problems with mounting my lvm volumes (after failing it's stuck,
ctrl+alt+del has no effect, and magic sysrq seems to be deactived?). I
think a saw a bug report regarding systemd/lvm.

I may try it again in a few days. There have been some updates to
systemd lately.

I didn't read all this thread ... but I still face issues with lvm2 
systemd here.
Sometimes the VG is activated, sometimes not ...

Using overlay systemd-love here and I am already in contact with the
dev there.

(and right now, after booting w/ systemd-204, the LVs are there as they
should be)

[gentoo-user] Font problems on new install

2013-05-15 Thread waltdnes
  A new install 64-bit Dell.  I noted all the font files in my old
machine's /var/lib/world file and installed them on the new machine.
Notwithstanding that I had mysterious problems.  One of the icons on my
ICEWM toolbar launches the command...
 
xterm -bg black -fg cyan -geometry 80x58 -fn lucidasanstypewriter-12

  I got error messages about not being able to find the font,
notwithstanding that I have both
media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi and
media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi installed.  This had 3
unpleasant side-effects...

1) xterm went to a smallish default font that was rather hard to read

2) I figured no problem; I'll go {CTRL-RIGHTCLICK} and select a larger
font.  However, as soon as I did that, the xterm shut down!

3) xfreecell wouldn't start due to a font-not-found error.  Now it's
getting really serious.

  After a bunch of futile screwing around including a reprise of my
http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org/msg123858.html
I exited X and performed a font transplant.  I.e. I renamed
/usr/share/fonts and copied over the /usr/share/fonts directory from the
older machine.  And it works beautifully.  I've backed up the directory
to a tarball on USB stick, just in case.  And I will be monitoring any
updates with an eagle eye.

  Anyone have any ideas?
