[gentoo-user] Salasaga
Hi, All Does anyone know if there is a portage package for Salasaga (http://www.salasaga.org/)? Or if one has had the experience of compiling it from source, any hints?

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Terminals that work with compose key?
That's a legacy behavior got from old typewriter machines in which the accents did not move the carriage as normal characters did, just printing the accent (that had to be high enough for upper case letters) and waiting for the accented letter to do the move. As far as I know, in KDE you may install an international layout toggle, so different behaviors - and even quite different lay-outs - may co-exist.

However, even then, it does not behave like the Compose key as described by the Wikipedia article, which makes it sound like a dead key. A dead key and a compose key are related, but not quite the same thing. A dead key is one that when struck doesn't generate a letter but instead modifies the letter that's generated by the next keystroke. Unlike a modifier like shift/alt/control, a dead key or a compose key is struck and released and then the next key is struck. Some non-English keyboards have deadicated deadkeys for commonly used accents. Dead keys are more-or-less the equivalent of a typewriter key that imprints a glyph onto the paper but doesn't move the platen (or the type-ball, if you want to think like a selectric). What a compose key does is temporarily make the _next_ key struck act like a dead key. To enter ô, you strike compose, ^, o. Hitting compose makes the ^ key temporarily into a dead key. nope, just ^ and o no other key. at least in kde. -- If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.

The monolithic ones install larger parts of KDE, and usually have the same names as the original source packages offered at KDE.org. The split ebuilds, well, split those packages into their individual applications, so you have ebuilds for konqueror (which is also part of kdenetwork) or kmail (kdepim). In addition, there are the -meta ebuilds, which have the same name as the monolitic ones, but with -meta appended (kdepim-meta). Those usually install the same applications than monolithic ebuilds, but as split ebuilds. So, when you install kde, you get a complete KDE from monolithic ebuilds and when you install kde-meta, you get a complete KDE from split ebuilds. That's also the reason why they block each other. When you have kdepim installed, you already got kmail, so you shouldn't install kmail from the split ebuild again. HTH...

[gentoo-user] random mouse movements + kdebase 3.5.9-r3 + qt-4.3.3 + gcc-4.3.2 problems
Hi, guys. Happy new year! I'm facing some problems. It all began with some weird random mouse movements and clicks once in a while, and also sometimes the graphical interface locks up so that I cannot start nor close any program, even kde itself. I have to turn off the computer and turn it on again (resembles another operating system, doesn't it? - but all the rest of the system still works ok including ACPI power button, so I can get a clean reboot) and then I had the idea of re-emerging several packages. And now I'm having trouble while re-building kde-base/kdebase-3.5.9-r3, kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.9-r4 and x11-libs/qt-4.3.3 - none of them compiles without errors. I'm using a ~x86 gcc ( sys-devel/gcc-4.3.2-r2 ) so that I may use the -march=core2 CFLAG and just emerged and installed a 2.6.27-r7 kernel. Also I've re-emerged several qt and kde dependencies, including Xorg - as long as several of its dependencies, too - and a long list of libraries, and all went ok. For Qt, the errors keep pointing test phases, which are not enabled here, messages like theese: MySQL (thread-unsafe) disabled. MySQL support cannot be enabled due to functionality tests! Turn on verbose messaging (-v) to ./configure to see the final report. If you believe this message is in error you may use the continue switch (-continue) to ./configure to continue. * * ERROR: x11-libs/qt-4.3.3 failed. Then I have masked MySQL, and then another USE flag points out the same kind of error. For kdebase, it points out a compilation error, as it seems, against a kernel header, like this: In file included from handler.h:13, from kdesud.cpp:74: secure.h: At global scope: secure.h:19: error: redefinition of 'struct ucred' /usr/include/bits/socket.h:321: error: previous definition of 'struct ucred' make[3]: ** [kdesud.o] Erro 1 In file included from secure.cpp:23: secure.h:19: error: redefinition of 'struct ucred' /usr/include/bits/socket.h:321: error: previous definition of 'struct ucred' But kdelibs re-emerged like a charm...

[gentoo-user] init script freezes when xdm (kdm) starts
Hi, guys I've been seeing this for several months now, and I couldn't fix it. It is easy to workaround, so I didn't want to bother the list before. But when it's enough, it's enough. While booting, I can see the init scripts progress up to the time xdm (kdm) starts. Then I lo gin and start to work. Suddenly I remember that I have to issue a Ctrl-Alt-F1 to return to the boot console and only then the scripts go on, looking like they froze when X started (or some other related app). That was for several months and has come back now. During a few months interval (I suppose that those time periods were coincident to kernel updates) I got the opposite: the scripts kept going, X appeared for very few seconds and then the boot console reappeared without intervention. I always had to hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 to return to kdm. Any suggestions?

The use of 'oldconfig' when upgrading from a previous .z kernel (as in 2.6.z) is a bad idea. There are too much changes between such upgrades. Please retry a compilation from scratch.

For some reason, the linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r7 kernel leaves me netless. I try to start the net.eth0, and it says 'please verify your hardware driver' or something to that extent. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If compiled as a module, check if it is loaded. Then, check if the driver is working using the 'ifconfig -a' command (upgrade sys-apps/net-tools if avaible). If the module can't load or if it isn't working when loaded, post your 'dmesg' and 'emerge --info' outputs.

If thats xdm then ive no idea why its starting so early, and if it is xdm then thats your problem im guessing.

But I'm also having problems compiling kdebase, where kdm sits :-( The net.eth2 (don't remember why) was made an exact copy of net.lo, so a symlink just did the same job.

Re: [gentoo-user] 100% disk full again
I use a shared NFS /usr/portage/ among 4 computers (a server, 2 desktops and a test machine) and it works fine, just the server needs to sync in the middle of the night, and as I have mostly Pentium3 (server + 2 workstations), the server and my own workstation are setup to build binary packages - the server builds first, but as it doesn't use X, there are some packages that my ws builds (after merging the already built packages) and then the second and slower ws merges only binary packages. All of them, including the test machine, uses distcc, so everything is faster. I guess that sharing /var/cache/edb is not a good idea, as far as I know portage. I am thinking on sharing /var/portage thow And that's a good point: /var/portage gets pretty full of hundreds of megs once in a while, and so does /usr/portage/distfiles and (in my case) /usr/portage/packages - so how could portage clean up by default the binary packages and the source code tarballs (and also any eventual mess left in /var/portage)? Some more command line options? Some more environment varialbles? Some more words in $FEATURES (I like this one)? -- Francisco Eric S.

The system rebooted, but there was a series of warning messages, which disappeared after I remerged 'setserial' rebooted again. What is 'setserial' needed for ? If its omission causes warnings, why has it been dropped from 'system' ? Anyone have useful info ? As far as I can remember, setserial is used for some internal modems (real modems, not win-modems), because the system didn't find its virtual (as you cannot attach any other device to it) serial communication port, that would be normally ttyS2 or ttyS3, if you don't disable your embedded physical serial ports in the BIOS. If you use dial-out ppp or any other communication with a modem, you will probably need setserial. Francisco -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The split ebuilds, well, split those packages into their individual applications, so you have ebuilds for konqueror (which is also part of kdenetwork) or kmail (kdepim). In addition, there are the -meta ebuilds, which have the same name as the monolitic ones, but with -meta appended (kdepim-meta). Those usually install the same applications than monolithic ebuilds, but as split ebuilds. So, when you install kde, you get a complete KDE from monolithic ebuilds and when you install kde-meta, you get a complete KDE from split ebuilds. That's also the reason why they block each other.

Thanks a lot, guys. I don't like it, but I have removed and created again the user, and now everything works as expected. I said I don't like it because we didn't exactly know where the problem was. I've checked permissions and groups before that, and had the home directory backed up before removing the user and completely restored after the user creation, so all files and directories kept the same permissions and mode bits and the user has the same uid and belongs to the same groups as before. I'm surely capable to live without that knowledge, but I can't help thinking I would live better if knowing ;-) Thanks again Francisco On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 5:22 PM, James Ausmus james.aus...@gmail.comwrote: On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 5:44 PM, Francisco Ares fra...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 3:11 AM, Francisco Ares fra...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 2:29 AM, Gmail hungp...@gmail.com wrote: Have you added consolekit to the boot level?

Re: [gentoo-user] Moving root filesystem to a new partition

I recall someone helping me with this before, but cannot find the email. The oldest of three drives on my system had my / partition, /dev/sdc1. One day recently, that partition became inaccessable. After quickly installing Ubuntu on a different drive, that root partition eventually showed up again. So I've been able to boot Gentoo again off the separate /boot partition on /dev/sda1. I need to move that / partition. I have several other partitions mounted off this one, mainly as /usr and maybe /usr/local/, and some storage partitions mounted to my home directory. I copied the root (/) partition with the new partition at /dev/sdb5 mounted as /newroot, using # cp -ax / /newroot I checked that /proc, /dev, and /sys are there, and empty. I recall there are some other steps necessary. I changed /etc/fstab, and the grub2 grub.cfg from ubuntu, the entry for this kernel. The boot stalls at a certain point. May I ask what steps are necessary to do this? Thank you, Alan Davis I have done this in the past. I usually boot the CD, make mount points for old and new, then mount the old and new that I want to copy. Then I do a cp -av /path/to/old /path/to/new/ and let it copy. This can take quite a bit of time tho. It seems those little bitty files take the longest. Maybe omitting the -v option would help on that? Once you get it copied over, edit your fstab file as needed on the new side and install the bootloader as well. After that, it usually just works. Dale :-) :-) P. S. Sorry for not including some fancy tarball stuff. ;-) Well, as far as I know one would like to edit the bootloader configuration as well, so as to reflect the new root directory.

[gentoo-user] init scripts failing after server update
Hi Around 8 to 10 months I've left a server without updates, and now, after also building a new kernel, emerging new gcc, glibc, re-emerging baselayout, sysvinit and all packages that contains something in /etc/init.d/ , the boot process hangs after a few of the scripts (normally at keymaps or consolefont) returns their ok message. If I use the option to key in an i for interactive boot and skip all remaining services, I get a login prompt on TTY1 through TTY6 as expected, and if I issue every script on the boot and default rc-levels, everything works fine (well, one or two of them complain about something specific, but the important thing is that it doesn't hang at all). Any ideas? The server is up and running (apache, ssh, samba, svn, mysql, ftp, nfs, distcc, etc.) so I'm not in a hurry. I'm thinking on unmerging sysvinit and baselayout just to make sure there is no garbage left, then re-emerging them.

[gentoo-user] evdev broken?
Hi, All Recently, after blindingly emerging world, X11/Xorg stopped to accept mouse and keyboard events. After some ways to figure out what was going on, I found that it seems related to evdev. Anybody noticed something like that? The xorg-server package (or xorg-drivers, can't remember nor check now, because I had to use Windows :-( ) is being built with evdev flag, but there is an error in the log file about evdev could not be found, as long as dri and dri2. I am using nvidia proprietary video driver. Thanks a lot Francisco If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have one idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. - George Bernard Shaw

[gentoo-user] /var/db gone: possible opportunity to switch profile
Hi All, I have managed to delete /var/db. I know this was a very stupid thing to be done, but now it is done and /var/db is gone for good. Well, that is a good opportunity to have everything built again, time to try new CFLAGS, and so on. But there is a circular dependency that I do not know how to get rid of: glibc and gcc depend on each other. They are both here, but portage does not know that. How am I supposed to go on? By the way, I have a Pentium Core 2 Quad and I am using a x86 profile. How would I switch to a amd64 ? As far as I know, my processor is capable of this.

It may even be almost impossible and it's definitely not trivial. You intend to rebuild everything anyway, I would recommend you install over the old system and retain /etc/portage and the world file. Then emerge -e world. This will take you about 30 minutes longer than rebuilding world if you hadn't taken out /var/db - one of the few cases where a re-install really is the correct thing to do. Good luck. -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com Yes, that's it, now going from ground up. Pity, this system is being upgraded, both hardware and software, since 15+ years.

For every partition I have on my system there is a slightly bigger partition on my backup drive, and I regularly make snapshots with rdiff-backup.

For me, the biggest advantage compared to x86 was that I could use more memory. Apart from that, there were not so many differences. Yes, that's it, now going from ground up. Pity, this system is being upgraded, both hardware and software, since 15+ years. Never had to re-install before. Um, Gentoo started to exist around 2002 according to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo_Linux . Thanks for the correction. I really thought that it was that long. Now, pushing harder from memory, I have being using Linux since the kernel was on versions 2.2 in '99. I started with Conectiva (release 4.0), that went to Mandriva when it was acquired by Mandrake, in 2004 or 2005, I guess, but way before that I had Gentoo already installed. So that makes just, say, 10 years. I had a few re-installs at the beginning, in the first two to three weeks, until I get the idea right. When smartd starts to advise me about a failing hard drive, I simply copy everything from this unit to a new one, and things just keep going. When the hardware is considered old and there is enough money, I look for possibilities till I get to a specific (and affordable) new set of motherboard, processor and memory, but before moving things, I build a kernel with drives for both CPU's; just then I really buy the new hardware, and normally everything works fine. And there is always a LiveCD around to help put things back to work. I guess that shows how portage, all dev-guys, and all helpful people who write in this list are really good. Gentoo rocks! Indeed. I started to use it around early in 2003, when my girlfriend installed it onto my server. And I continued using it until one year ago, when the server became obsolete (and finally died only three months later). I had uptimes of more than a year, and also never had to re-install. Before, I had tried various Linux distros, but I always was disappointed with many things. I hated to upgrade, as this sometimes just did not work, and often broke things, sometimes more than were fixed. I remember the dependency hell of RPM, spending much time on rpmfind.net looking for packages that were compatible... and then came Gentoo, and these problems were gone. The rolling upgrades were just great. Over all, things worked much better. And in case of problems, I often was able to solve them myself. And I learnt to do things by hand - like configuring ISDN. When I tried that before on redHat, I ran into a bug of that fancy GUI utility, that did not make use of my changes until I quit and restarted it. If you do this yourself by directly configuring stuff in /etc/ppp, you not only learn more about the whole thing, you also avoid the bugs that all those GUI utilities seem to have. Simpler seems to be better here. No additional layers calling for trouble. Wonko Yes, quite like you. I hated the way Conectiva changed the case of some letters on the names of some of the libraries, so it was hell to have something installed from source, and their package list was too short. I though that would be the same with other distros. I was considering Linux from Scratch, but when I came to know that in a Gentoo instalation everything is built from source code, I stopped to look at other distros. And I really enjoy messing around in /etc . Thanks
[gentoo-user] [off-topic] - can /var be placed in a separate partition?

Thanks Francisco I think I saw it mentioned on -dev that some time shortly /usr and /var will be needed on / or you will need the init* thingy to boot. That's was my understanding of this mess. So, if you are about to do a install that needs /var on its own partition, I would ask a dev to see how you should plan. I could have misunderstood but I'm pretty sure it's coming. It may also depend on what you are going to be running too. I mention because no need doing it one way now and having to fix it later. That sucks! That said, I have /var on its own partition and mine boots fine, although I haven't rebooted in a week or so. I don't think the change has happened yet but is coming.

Sorry, did not read your message to the end. So the sixth line on that script, on your case, instead of: j=`echo $i | sed s/\ \-\ unwantedString//` should be: j=Person of Interest - $i I guess that's it.

There are several of us old atavistic grumps (you know who you are, Alan) who can't see any use for pulseaudio and therefore disable it with useflags and any other way we can. For example, I use vbox all the time and have no problem getting sound from my vbox guests, or from firefox or any other application. Sound just works without pulseaudio -- so why do I need it? Sadly, gnome3 has made pulseaudio mandatory if I want to use the volume control applet on gnome-panel (and I do) so I now have the pulseaudio daemon running in the background, but all of my apps are built without the pulseaudio useflag and all produce good sound even when I kill the pulseaudio daemon manually. I still don't get the whole idea behind pulseaudio. Hi, How do you manage to get VirtualBox sounds without pulseaudio? That's the only point that keeps me from removing it. Oops! When did VBox start to use ALSA? Let me try... Thank you all! Francisco

PulseAudio is to audio what X.org is to video: stream mixing software. I see ... so for many use cases that do not require to selectively modify the volume of different outputs, pulseaudio is really not necessary at all (I can always plug/unplug an earphone jack or what not).

[gentoo-user] recovering plain alsa [WAS:]: no sound on upgraded Firefox from 7 to 8 - using pulse audio
Thank you all who replied my last messages.
Now I am back to plain alsa, but no two programs can use it at the same
time. Alsa drivers are built on the kernel, and I have the following
packages installed:
media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.24.1:0
media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.10.35:0.10
media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.24.2-r1:0.9
The two first ones were puled by emerging alsa-utils.
I have lost /etc/asound.conf, and I guess this is the key. Looking to
which package it belongs to, equery found none. I have put a quite simple
version (as explained here:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/ALSA#Default_Sound_Device)::
pcm.!default { type hw card Intel }
ctl.!default { type hw card Intel }
Any hints on how can I get all programs to mix up as before?
Thanks again

Thanks, Dale, but now everything is working fine again. I left genkernel
working overnight on my custom .config, and now that I removed
/etc/asound.conf and /etc/asound.status and rebooted, everything is
working fine with just plain ALSA.
As far as I know, sdl is somewhat like pulse, isn't it? Some higher
level of interfacing, I think. Let's do some more research...
By the way, looking on your previous post, why do you have alsa-libs
emerged and alsa built in the kernel at the same time?

Re: [gentoo-user] Pulseaudio shuts off
Hi I could not check the pulseaudio dependency for gws, as libsndfile does not have it. I have had pulseaudio for a year or so, and it was fine. I used it mainly because VirtualBox depended on it to emulate a sound car on its virtual machines. Then something broke, and I could not get any sound out of the speakers, just the first app get the device, and no other after that. Then, after Dale asked me why did I need pulseaudio, I saw that VirtualBox now is able to handle plain and simple ALSA, then I removed all pulseaudio related things that I could find, rebuilt the kernel with alsa built-in and everything I need is back making noises ;-) Francisco On Sat, Dec 10, 2011 at 2:25 PM, meino.cra...@gmx.de wrote: Hi, sorry for the nebelous subject...

The AVI container has been used by windows for a long time, so I'd say chances are that it will work on more systems, but I can't say for sure. -- Nuno Silva (aka njsg) http://njsg.sdf-eu.org/ Thanks, Nuno, gonna try it. -- Francisco If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.

AVI is dated and just plain nasty. You should use something else (like h264 in an MP4) if you possibly can. AVI is old, AVI has issues. AVI is not compatible with some codecs. *But* AVI has been around for long enough to be supported by many versions of Windows and Office, and what we're looking for here is whatever offers the broadest support. I don't even think Windows (at least up to 7) has a builtin h264 decoder. At least I remember having to install codecs in Vista and 7 machines in order to view h264 Youtube videos. Did a bit of googling. Windows 7 includes h264 support. In any case, there's something *critically* important missing in most of this discussion about AVI vs something else. Just because Windows supports AVI doesn't mean that Windows includes all possible codecs you might stuff in an AVI. There's h264, there's MPEG, MPEG2, Theora, RLE Windows Media and hundreds of codecs I've forgotten. And that's just video. For audio, there's more variation than there is for WAV[1]. In addition to anything WAVE files might contain, you might find just about anything. There's FLAC, AAC, Speex, MP2a, MP3, Vorbis and thousands more. AVI is just a container. Nothing more. Containers are like ZIP files or tar files, but instead of containing a filesystem, they contain a variable number of audio and video streams in such a way that the audio and video data for a moment in time are close together and easily accessible. The meat is in the audio and video streams, the format of which we call codecs. The big question is what *codecs* are available on the target systems. If you're looking for the absolute widest degree of support, you're looking at DIB encoding for video with uLaw PCM for audio. But that's going to be a *huge* file, because there's no compression at all! The best compression that's going to be available on the widest variety of systems is probably going to be MPEG2 video with MPEG2 layer 3 audio. The best compression that might be available, period, would be h.264, combined with MP4 audio, in an MP4 container. Almost as good results can be had with h.264 video, MP4 audio in an AVI container.[2] So, Francisco, what version of Windows will your slideshow be played on? [1] Yeah, WAVE files aren't exactly simple, either. They can contain different PCM encodings. There's aLaw, uLaw, float... [2] For full effectiveness, h.264 requires features that the AVI container doesn't have. -- :wq Wow, what a class! Thank you a lot, that explained much of my doubts. I had no problems with audio, I use several programs and several codecs for messing around with different audio file formats. But video was still a mystery to me. As a matter of fact, I am not sure on what windows version this presentation will be played, it is a training presentation, so I suppose we can only expect at least XP. I will bring a free MS office player, so that part should not be a problem. And also a K-Lite or any other codecs package installer.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 4.9.5 VERY slow to respond
2013/1/31 Dale rdalek1...@gmail.com Howdy, I upgraded to the latest KDE a bit ago. I update about twice a week, depending on what is going on and what is released. Anyway, KDE has become just dead dog slow. Just to login takes a couple minutes. If I click to open a KDE app, it takes a long time. If I click on the kicker/panel thingy at the bottom, it takes forever, even clicking on the K menu takes a minute or more for the menu to pop up. Also, when it freezes, the clock stops as well. It seems something is hung up or something. I also noticed that klipper is missing as is kmix for the volume control in the kicker/panel thingy at the bottom. If I try to manually start them, I get nothing even if I wait for a good long while. Also, while in a Konsole, within KDE so note the K there, if I try to copy/paste something, it locks up Konsole tight as a drum. It has yet to ever come back. I can't even switch tabs. Also, while I generally click on the panel at the bottom to switch desktops, this doesn't work when it is froze or stuck. I can however use the function keys to switch. When I login, the hard drive activity light on the case is very quiet. It is normally on solidly when I login since it is reading data but now it is pretty much dark all the time. What I have done so far. Renamed .kde4 and tried a new .kde4 directory. No change. I did a emerge -e world with, no change. I have also checked the CPU and memory with htop and it shows nothing outside the norm that I can see. I have also went to the boot runlevel. killed anything that shouldn't be there and then went back to default runlevel. This started yesterday. I did my usual update and logged out and back in since checkrestart showed several programs using old configs/programs etc. After that, it got real slow. The biggest update was qt and all its friends. Sort of hard to tell right now since I can't get Konsole to work right and I can't copy and paste either. lol I was going to try to downgrade KDE to the previous version, it appears to be gone now. I guess my only other option is to upgrade again with a version from a overlay. This is not something I want to do tho. Has anyone else ran into this? Anyone got any ideas on how to track it down? It's going to be a week before another upgrade and this is getting on my nerves. ;-) Thanks. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words! Hello, When i saw your message, it was something of a relief, I was even thinking about a hardware problem, sometimes it freezes for so long and so much it even doesn't allow me to switch to one of the consoles. Sometimes I could not wait, and just reset the computer. Now I know it might be something else besides hardware (I have run Memtest+ for more than 24h and nothing showed up).

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 4.9.5 VERY slow to respond
Hi, Dale. There is something else. I have upgraded gcc, done an emerge -evuDN world, even recompiled the kernel, and the graphic system has stuck again a while ago. I will try to post later something more specific, but as far as could see, it is not just KDE. But the text terminals still work, just can't kill anything.

[gentoo-user] netmount and nfs mounts
Hello, After a recent update (a few months) the init script netmount does not work as expected and as it once did. There are some nfs mounts available in a remote server, they are correctly set up in /etc/fstab (I know that because later after boot, I am able to mount those nfs mounts just by typing as root mount [nfsmount]).

[gentoo-user] ntfs-3g problem (I suppose) - locking system
Hello. During some months now, this machine was (and still is, sometimes) suffering from a strange progressive lock down. It always has begun with the web browser, passing to the whole X environment, and finally I could not even use a console. After several trial and error actions, as no log entry could give any hint on what is going on, it seems that I found something consistent. This machine is a dual-boot Linux/Windows, as my wife once in a while needs to work on a Windows O.S. . The lock down starts when she saves a file received by e-mail in a ntfs-3g mounted partition, so that file would also be accessible whenever she uses Windows. The reason why I suspect of ntfs-3g is that when the lock down starts, that is, if only the web browser locks, just unmounting (and mounting back later) that partition, recovers the web browser functionality. Sometimes, when the lock down has already affected the whole graphic environment, but I still may use a console, again unmounting that same partition also unlocks everithing. I have already tried to emerge ntfs-3g with different use flags, but the problem persists. Even built a new kernel and re-emerged ntfs-3g after that. Now ntfs-3g package is using its own fuse. I would really appreciate any hints on what to do or where to look for any more information on this subject. Perhaps I am still looking at an effect, and not the cause.
