Although I agree with your reasoning above, you are contradicting yourself in the following two statements: At least, it's no more broken under -Os than under -O2.

File encoding is handled by 'fileencodings' further down. - If I open a file which was saved with ISO-8859-1, edit it and save it, will it keep the original encoding? Yes. Vim will never change the encoding of a file. If you typed characters that don't fit in ISO-8859-1 (which can happen if you use a utf locale), you will get a CONVERSION ERROR upon writing the file, and 'quit' will refuse to quit without you forcing it. - The vimrc says: Make sure we have a sane fallback for encoding detection set fileencodings+=default I guess this is system default.

I doubt that it grabs the kernel running from the CD, It does. You did 'mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc' before chrooting, which gives you the proc of the running kernel. But it matters not. The zcat command just saves a default config, in case no kernel was ever configured yet. Your previous runs of genkernel saved the config to /etc/kernels/, and that config gets automatically reused when it exists. So the config should be okay, _if it was always _that kernel that you booted, and not just the kernel that you _thought you booted. It might be worth trying to overwrite your custom config in /etc/kernels/ (after copying it to a safe place) with the contents of /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-conf-2.6, recompiling and reinstalling the kernel, and trying to boot with that.

[gentoo-user] bookmarks invisible in Firefox fullscreen
When the bookmarks list is longer than what fits vertically on the screen, then hitting Alt+B while Firefox is in fullscreen mode won't show the list of bookmarks. The bookmark list is there -- because it is possible to select for example the last entry with Up and Enter -- but it is invisible. (When not in fullscreen mode, such an overlong bookmarks list shows tiny arrows at top and bottom and will scroll as needed.) Is this invisibility just a local phenomenon, or are others seeing this too? This is about Firefox-2.0.0.*.

You mean to say that a mixed system is likely to have hiccups? Or do you mean that a mixed system requires more work: having to adapt package.keywords every now and then? But when you have a lot of packages in package.keywords, you're best of switching to a full testing system, IMO. That is only because of a shortcoming of portage: if for example one has firefox at ~x86, and a new version of firefox depends on a ~x86 version of some other package, portage should be so clever as to grab that version automatically and not require the user to keyword it in /etc/portage/package.keywords.

That was the file causing all the pain. I moved it away and now there are no problems. Any ideas why it was doing it. A possibility is that you've set the hwclock twice, first with a wrong time, then say ten minutes later you realize your watch is five minutes fast, and you set the clock again, with the correct time. Now the adjust feature thinks your CMOS clock is ticking away ten minutes in just five minutes, and every time you boot your computer it will adjust the CMOS clock for this drift and then read it to set the system time. This drift correction feature is useful, but one should be aware of it when setting the hardware clock manually: remove the /etc/adjtime file after 'hwclock --set' has been used with a wrong time.

This is too good a chance to see busybox in action. :) Please report back how you are getting along. Start with these: busybox ln -s busybox /bin/ln ln -s busybox /bin/install ln -s busybox /bin/cp Then try to emerge coreutils, and make more links for the things that are missing.

Yes! :) What's the fun in taking binaries from others when you have busybox aboard, and it is there exactly for this purpose. If you don't like trial and error, first make the link for cat: busybox ln -s busybox /bin/cat Then cut and paste the previously given list of /bin/* to a file named 'list', and then make all the links in one go: cat list | while read name; do busybox ln -s busybox $name; done And then emerge coreutils.

All it would have taken to get around this was 'rm /bin/install' and 'cp /var/tmp/portage/coreutils-5.93/work/coreutils-5.93/src/ginstall /bin/install' and then coreutils would have emerged fine.

Re: [gentoo-user] Abiword 2.2.11 crashes
Adrian wrote: I emerged libbonobo, and bonobo. Didn't help anything. You do use --oneshot when re-emerging something.

The 2.8.* series were phased out seven months ago. Okay, first do an 'emerge --sync', then emerge --oneshot transcode control-center gnome-applets This will update those package to more recent versions. Then remove the .revdep* files and do a revdep-rebuild again. If all libraries are okay now, then emerge -Dua world And then see if abiword is working again. Make sure you don't have things in /etc/portage/package.mask or similar files that could get in the way of the recent stable packages. Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
