Has anyone > else seen this loss of behaviour? I noticed that, too, but didn’t really bother b/c I use hjkl or MMB to scroll. But your e-mail got me thinking again. At some point I realised that this is just a question of theme. I have no idea which one Firefox uses by default, there is none explicitly mentioned in the ebuild. I assume it’s the GTK default, which would fit contemporary minimalist Gnome design. So install any other one theme. You can find them with $ eix -C theme -S gtk I installed clearlooks-phenix and it gave me back ye typicalle olde look of GTK2, including proper mouse-friendly scrollbars. I switched the theme using the method of Dale’s description (KDE system settings). But in the end, all it does is edit some config file. A quick search brought me to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, which contains gtk-theme-name=Clearlooks-Phenix . > An "emerge --info firefox" shows there to be no "gtk" in the USE flags. I assume that’s because Firefox cannot work without GTK, so there is no point in being able to disable it. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.

PYTHON_TARGETS sets the versions of python a python package will be installed to/with for packages that can be installed to multiple python versions. You have PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET=python3_4, but PYTHON_TARGETS does *not* contain python3_4. This is bad. >The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied: > python_single_target_python3_4?

[gentoo-user] Getting ki18n to compile
Hi all, Doing the usual "emerge -NuD world" and I get hit with: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! The ebuild selected to satisfy ">=kde-frameworks/ki18n-5.18.0:5" has unmet requirements. - kde-frameworks/ki18n-5.22.1::gentoo USE="-debug -doc -test" ABI_X86="64" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_4 -python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 -python3_4" The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied: python_single_target_python3_4? ( python_targets_python3_4 ) The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression: exactly-one-of ( python_single_target_python2_7 python_single_target_python3_4 ) python_single_target_python2_7? ( python_targets_python2_7 ) python_single_target_python3_4? ( python_targets_python3_4 ) (dependency required by "kde-apps/khelpcenter-5.6.2-r1::gentoo" [installed]) (dependency required by "@selected" [set]) (dependency required by "@world" [argument]) So I add to following line to packages.use kde-frameworks/ki18n python_single_target_python3_4 But the problem persists, nothing has changed. "eselect python list" lists that I've got Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5 installed. I've just noticed that doing "emerge --info ki18n" shows: PYTHON SINGLE_TARGET="python3_5" Does that help? Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong greatly appreciated, Andrew

If folks where to first employ a speech to text interpolate software, on their (originating) end, then your friend would receive mostly accurate text communications. The single source (voice) solution becomes more accurate over time as one uses them. If this sort of semantic occurred before the text was sent to your friend, then it's much easier to support and refine. Sadly, it does nothing for new sources of contact, until they refine their own speech-to-text system. Sometimes a simultaneous video feed help folks comprehend, by reading lips whilst discerning audio signals, but that requires low-latency connections. hth, James
