[gentoo-user] annoying message - /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 is not a symbolic link

2010-06-18 Thread Helmut Jarausch
Hi, since a few weeks I always get the annoying message /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 is not a symbolic link whenever an 'ldconfig' is run, e.g. while postprocessing after a package's install. Does anybody know how to get rid of it. Unfortunately, net-misc/nxclient-3.4.0.7 depends on libpng:1.2 Many

[gentoo-user] Grub2 and use-flags

I'm running grub 2 it seems. I don't know when that started, or what difference it makes compared to legacy grub. I guess I don't need to know. But a recent post had me looking at use-flags, and I was a bit surprised to find (ncurses -static). If this refers to the part of grub that I run when

[gentoo-user] Recover from memory corruption

2010-06-18 Thread Nuno J. Silva
I found out a computer of mine has been working with a bad memory configuration which could lead to wrong values (sometimes failing on memtest). Not only did it freeze during a world update, but it was also running this way for a long time. So I guess some binaries might have errors on it, due to

I'm running grub 2 it seems No. You are running grub 0.97-r9 (which is a legacy grub): Don't be confused by the description in eix: eix knows only one description per package (not one per version), and it takes this description from the version with the highest version number (which is grub 2).
