Hi,
I have a Gentoo install on my Macbook Pro ,which kernel I don't
upgrade often, to say the least, because I use it for work and I don't
have much time to tinker with all of it as I had once...
So it has settled with the first kernel which made things working,
which was late 2007 2.6.24-rc6
Hi,
I just bought a novel, 1.5 Tb USB external HD.
The kernel recognizes it nice and well, and I can mount and unmount it
as root, lookin' its content etc. without problems.
But KDE refuses to see it as a new media. It does not even appear in
the media:/. The odd thing is that it is the first

Hmmm, I run my own postfix, but I use the virgin SMTP server as a relay

I don't think this is a solution. I am using a laptop, and how can I

Hi,
Since when I live in UK, I have troubles with my SMTP servers. It
seems that everyone has the nice habit of changing my header/sender.
At least:

- The Gmail one does the same.

Ok, you all can stop ranting about ebuilds etc. being broken. :)
I found the culprit, it seems something wrong in the kdelibs building.
Basically, when kdelibs builds dcopidl, it happily *says* oh, this

But who cares, let's go

I am finally getting through the expat update. I am currently stuck at

On second thought this does make sense. Portage 2.1.2 allows an upgrade

Correction: The config options have been removed, not just commented out.

Last time I had these locks up it was a dying power suppy fault.
Dying RAM or mobos are another common cause.
Check your memory with memtest86 overnight, as already suggested. If
memtest86 gives no errors, it's probably the power supply. If it's the
mobo or the RAM, memtest should detect it.

This is an aspect of Gentoo that I don't understand very well. the

Same goes for kdemultimedia and kdemultimedia-kioslaves.

You can also poll the ip by doing an ifconfig and parsing its output
inside your application. I think the overhead on the system would be
barely recognizable if you do a reasonable (no more than every 5
