Are you running KDE with the gtk-qt theme engine? If so, I had a similar problem with fonts no longer being anti-aliased in gaim. I found the solution on this page: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=9714 Basically you need to change your General font setting in the control center. Once you make a change (any change) you can change it back to how you had it originally. Once you restart your gtk applications the fonts should be aliased again. There is no explanation for why this works, but it resolved the issue for me. Wow, you're right, that fixed it! But I'm using the Crystal SVG theme. I wonder what causes this nastiness? I'll hunt around for an appropriate KDE mailing list and report it there. Thank you! Shaw -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] GTK fonts uglified after update
Hello All, I just performed an emerge -Du world and found that the fonts in the few gtk apps that I use (gaim and wireshark) have now become quite ugly. I followed the wiki at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts to beautify a while back and the changes I made there have remained intact through the update. In order to track down what caused the problem, and hopefully figure out how to fix this ugliness, I would like to get a list of the packages most recently emerged. My emerge failed halfway through due to bug 155170, so I would probably need to be able to retrieve the packages updated during my last couple updates. A link or a man page is fine, I'm just not sure where to look. Of course, if anyone has any specific ideas or thoughts about what happened to the fonts during this update, I'd love to hear that too. Thanks, Shaw -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Problem compiling lirc for streamzap with 2.6.14-rc3
Hello again Gentooers,
I'm attempting to get the streamzap remote working with lirc. According to
the howtos around, I've created LIRC_OPTS in make.conf with a value of
--with-driver=streamzap. Emerging lirc afterwards, however, gives me
the compilation errors attached. Also, I get the message Streamzap is not
Kernel 2.6 ready and will not be compiled. Is this true or does it work out
of the box? I've seen both reports out there. The 2.6.14-rc3 kernel I'm
running seems to know the device and register it properly.
Oct 13 17:47:40 kron kernel: usb 2-1: Product: Streamzap Remote Control
Oct 13 17:47:40 kron kernel: usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Streamzap, Inc.
Oct 13 17:47:40 kron kernel: usb 2-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd
Oct 13 17:47:41 kron kernel: usb 2-2: Product: PS2 to USB Converter
Any information about this would be useful.
Thanks,
Shaw

[gentoo-user] automating sound restart after resume
..At some point along the way, I found that my sound no longer worked after a suspend on my ThinkPad T30. Running /etc/init.d/alsasound restart fixes all this nicely and I've automated this to occur after resume. Restarting alsa, however, causes amaroK to stop running, which makes me restart it after each resume. As I do this quite often, I'd really like to automate this as well. However, as root is the user that runs all of the scripts in /etc/apm/, simply starting/stopping amarok with apm does not work too well..I don't want amarok running as root, and looking in /root for it's configuration file. I'd like it to run as myself. Unfortunately, changing amarok to run as `setuid user' doesn't work, reporting that the KDE libraries were not built to run setuid. : [EMAIL PROTECTED] shaw 86]% ll `which amarok` -rwsr-sr-x 1 shaw users 32012 May 16 19:50 /usr/kde/3.3/bin/amarok [EMAIL PROTECTED] shaw 87]% !$ `which amarok` QSettings: error creating /root/.qt amaroK: [Loader] Starting amarokapp.. QSettings: error creating /root/.qt The KDE libraries are not designed to run with suid privileges. So this doesn't work either. Perhaps I should go back and figure out why I need to restart alsa. Assuming I fail this, as I haven't been successful so far, can any of you wise gentooers think of an automated way for me to start amarok as a user coming back from resume?
