Re: [gentoo-user] Firefox 3 stability
Jason, That's totally weird. Couple things that could cause this -- try disabling any composting window managers you may have running to see if that makes a difference. Also, is your computer stressed out (100% cpu usage) when you view the page? I've noticed that, among other things, GUIs in general tend to crap out (lots of repeated/trailing graphics) when the CPU gets pegged -- could be caused by Flash, or alpha transparencies in CSS, Java, or anything really... You may want to submit that screen shot as a bug to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org and see if they can recommend anything. Interesting screen shot though! - Brian On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 12:39 PM, Jason Messerschmitt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 1:43 PM, Justin Findlay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On AD 2008 July 02 Wednesday 02:20:30 PM -0400, doki_pen wrote: +2 on firefox3.

Re: [gentoo-user] speakers have no sound in Gentoo, but work in Ubuntu
Almost all snd-hda-intel sound cards need quirks added to /etc/modules.d/alsa Under the auto-generated configuration add: options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack Once that is done, save the file and run: update-modules Once that has completed (you may need to update-modules --force if it complains). Simply reboot the computer or restart the alsasound service.

Re: [gentoo-user] vlc wants to slot ffmpeg?
Stroller, This doesn't mean that ffmpeg is slotted. It means that the version of VLC you're trying to merge depends on an OLDER version of ffmpeg. VLC has some major issues with later versions of ffmpeg that are being handled rather poorly upstream. So unfortunately, if you want to use a stable VLC (0.8.x) you have to use a rather old ffmpeg. Nothing can be done to correct this. If you want a newer ffmpeg, try moving to a masked version of VLC or find a 0.9.x version in an overlay. Any attempt at making VLC 0.8.x work with newer versions of ffmpeg will result in video playback with audio only (no video). - Brian On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 3:39 AM, Stroller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi there, With an `emerge -pv world` today I've noticed an anomaly with vlv ffmpeg.

[gentoo-user] Problem with Suspend-to-RAM and Virtual Consoles
I've got an interesting problem when attempting to Suspend-to-RAM (S3) and virtual consoles. I swear, three days ago it was working and I didn't change anything (I don't think) at least that would change how this works (i.e. kernel, drivers, whatever) With that said, here's my problem (and what I've tried): 1. If I initiate suspend-to-ram from a console itself, it suspends fine, resumes fine, but the screen is BLANK.I can type stuff, but for some reason when I reboot (i.e. typing reboot or Ctrl+Alt+Del, it freezes on some process and doesn't reboot -- I have to power cycle the computer by holding down the power button for 5 seconds). 2. If I initiate suspend-to-ram from X, it suspends fine, resumes fine and the X screen comes up. HOWEVER, if I then switch to a virtual console, it comes up blank. The same problem occurs when I reboot, however. 3. Suspend-to-disk works in both cases. And rebooting afterwards is also fine. To reiterate, I haven't changed anything that I believe to be low enough t cause problems with this... has anyone seen anything like it? I've tried things like adding acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode, etc to the kernel line in grub.conf, but that doesn't seem to be doing much. Attempting to blinding play with vbetool also doesn't do anything. Setting up the console in framebuffer mode also makes no difference. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. - Brian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I do have netplug configed for eth* but I think it knows how to get out of the way of wpa_supplicant. All you need to do is emerge ipw3945 - no rc-updating needed. 2) If you ever need to restart net.eth1, restart ipw3945d instead. 3) My wpa_supplicant.conf just as comparision: # Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 :: wpa_supplicant.conf ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant # DO NOT remove this line! ctrl_interface_group=0 # Only allow root to read config. ap_scan=1 # Allows wpa_supplicant to handle AP scanning. # The following configures wpa_supplicant for a WPA network={ ssid=foo scan_ssid=1 # Use if SSID broadcast is disabled. psk=bar # Your key here. } -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Replacing 'eth0' with 'wlan0'
Abraham, I think what you may want to do is adjust the DHCP timeout for eth0. For ethernet devices, it's pretty good to assume that if after 10 seconds it doesn't receive DHCP it probably wont. So on my laptop, in /etc/conf.d/net I have: dhcpcd_eth0=-t 10 Which will timeout eth0 after 10 seconds, thus making the system boot time faster. Now what you can do to solve the wlan0 problem is: 1. Add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.# (whatever # your kernel is, either 2.4 or 2.6) 2. cd /etc/init.d/ 3. ln -s net.eth0 net.wlan0 4. Edit /etc/conf.d/net to do what you want for the wlan0 interface. Now, lets assume for a minute that neither interface is able to get valid DHCP information. I've solved this problem on mine by enabling APIPA (automatic private IP address) should DHCP fail. In /etc/conf.d/net you can do that as well. For my eth0 device on my laptop I have: config_eth0=( dhcp ) dhcpcd_eth0=-t 10 fallback_eth0=( apipa ) Some examples you may want to follow are in the Modular Networking docs here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?style=printablepart=4chap=3 Hope this helps. - Brian On Wed, March 7, 2007 1:25 pm, Abraham Gyorgy wrote: Hello again :) I've switched my networking from wired eth0 to wlan0.

Now when my system boots it is waiting 1-2 mins for DHCP, then goes forward, but (in the init system) there is no networking, so Samba and other stuff doesnt work.
