[gentoo-user] Sunrise overlay svn problems

Hi all, I'm just getting into using overlays and am having a problem getting the sunrise overlay. Does anyone know if the svn server on overlays.gentoo.org is down or flakey at the moment? I'm getting some problems and don't know yet whether I should be pointing the finger at them or my box.

try mii-tool if its compatible with the card sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20090728014017-r1 (/sbin/mii-tool) Add more "-v" to its command line and you get more info including a ROM readout. BillK On Sat, 2010-08-07 at 10:17 +0800, Xi Shen wrote: > normally, the latest livecd boot up the system, an

I am seeing it in gnome-terminal - corrupted and sometimes leftover buts of text. As well, when clicking the mouse will see a (usually) black bock appear at the cursor - sometimes stays for a second or two. 3 systems, all x86 and started with gnome 2.30 BillK On Fri, 2010-08-06 at 12:37 -0400,

Re: [gentoo-user] eth0 cannot start up

normally, the latest livecd boot up the system, and everything works. if the livecd boot up and something is not working, i guess it must be a hardware issue. BTW, ifconfig -a does show my eth0 NIC, but ifconfig eth0 up cannot start my NIC. On Sat, Aug 7, 2010 at 12:01 AM, Mick wrote: > On 6 Au

[gentoo-user] [OT] £ sign in OpenOffice

I am puzzled by this problem. One box of mine seems to be unable to show the GBP sign in OpenOffice. In any OOo application it shows a capital A with umlauts and then shows the £ sign. In the OOo Language Settings I have selected as Default Currency "GBP £ English (UK)" just as I have on two

I have noticed that when there is a brown out, or a complete power cut, the laptop screen comes on and stays on. I have set DPMS to switch it off within one minute, but it never kicks in after the AC power is interrupted. What could be causing this? Is there a remedy? -- Regards, Mick
