[gentoo-user] [ot fonts in firefox]
Can anyone here coach me a little about getting a decent look in firefox. I've monkeyed around with the font settings endlessly but it seems I can only get a look where like in a google search.. The hits are displayed in a decent and reasonable size. But the font size in the search box where you enter your terms is much bigger It seams nothing I do in the supplied font adjustment settings has any effect on that font. You can see the window grab here: www.jtan.com/~reader/vu/disp.cgi It doesn't look all that bad but notice how big the font in the search box is compared to the index of hits. The font inside search box is not bold but is a fair bit larger font size than even the headlines in the index of hits. How do you control the font inside that search box? And how do you get a reliable size in the rest of it.. I tried checked and unchecked on the item that says [] let the pages show their own fonts. Doesn't seem to matter either way I've tried numerous setting on the various font sizes available in the Edit/preferences font and advanced dialogs. But I haven't found a combination the just works for most stuff.

Google doesn't seem to know that error message, and I couldn't find anything relevent at bugs.gentoo.org. The only thing I can think of is that it has to do with some libraries having been compiled with an older version of gcc, but I'm not sure how to check for that... Those undefined references are supplied by libstdc++, so it looks like you have a classic case of duelling library versions. The error messages mention gcc-3.4.6, which is actually quite old now, so perhaps you've switched to gcc-4.x.x now? The fix is to go back and re-emerge all packages that linked against the old libstdc++. One way to find them is to run fix_libtool_files.sh and note which ones get fixed. You still need to re-emerge those packages, though, if you're now using gcc-4.x I would actually just grep through all the .la files for 3.4.6 (assuming that's your *old* version of gcc) and re-emerge the packages that own those files. Maybe someone else knows an easier way.

Re: [gentoo-user] aterm into kterm?
Now, at work, the machines run some custom version of linux and I am not sure what the terminals are. And I also often use the VT and not use X on my laptop, so I am disinclined to set TERM in .bashrc. Well, bash is bash, it doesn't matter if you work machines use X or whatnot. Add: export TERM=xterm to ~/.bash_profile on your work machine account.

I also have aterm and tried ssh with two different machines. Both return rxvt which is what echo $TERM gives when in a local terminal.

Server A Desktop B Laptop C I ssh into Server A from Desktop B and Laptop C. Desktop B is at work. I am not sure what terminal it uses. But it has no problems with the terminal. Laptop C is my personal machine, on which I run aterm usually. But when I ssh into Server A, echo $TERM shows kterm. (I just tried rxvt and xterm also on this machine, and $TERM is correctly listed for both.) Setting anything on Desktop B is unlikely to help. I don't want to set anything on Server A because I worry that it might break whatever is working currently from Desktop B. I don't think I should set anything on Laptop C in .bash* because I also use other terms occasionally and the VT. If my worries are unfounded, can you tell me why?

Speaking of mutt, is there a way to turn off its insistence on creating symlinks called sendmail? My most embarressing moment as a linux user came several years ago when I first created an hourly cronjob. I wasn't aware of the need for ending it with 21. The garbage output went to root via sendmail, which was actually a symlink to mutt. mutt is a deliberately dumb mailer that simply pushes email out the door to my ISP's MTA. So the hourly garbage went to root at my ISP. They sent me a polite email asking me to kindly stop. G I took a couple of steps then. Besides adding 21 to my cronjobs, I set root=myaccount in /etc/ssmtp/ssmpt.conf, so that any stuff getting through would go to my account at my ISP, not to root at my ISP. I also went around stomping on the symlinks. So far, I've discovered /usr/bin/sendmail and /usr/lib/sendmail and /usr/sbin/sendmail. In each case, I deleted the symlink, created a directory by that name, and did a touch .keep inside the directory. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org -- Sent from my mobile device Kyle

[gentoo-user] Kopete and a pesky pop-up then it disconnects.
