[gentoo-user] autopoweroff
I leave my computer on at night due to a slow download, or as habit. The thing is it swiches it self off, sometimes. The file systems are clean the next boot and no errors no nothing. I fear it might be an overheat problem on my 3Ghz+ Venice, and the PC turns its self off as a safety caution. But sensors shows 36 degrees Celsius, eventually 37 after compiling OO and firefox(did that on purpose) never seen it an 38 and the alarm is set at 45 C. Do you guys know whwere should I look, what log should I examine to see what is wrong? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You can also check the datestamp of /var/log/dmesg and that will tell you the date that it last booted also. Maybe my english is bad but my computer is not rebooting(there are a lot of resons for that) but just turnes itself off, wich I think is another, but important issue -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] autopoweroff
I have a machine here that does that. I've tied changing all bar the PSU (its a custom case with a custom PSU) but i'm guessing that theres something iffy wiht it. Your PSU does provide more than enoguh power on all rails for what you need? Tim PSA? i'm gessing it has something to do with the power source right. But I don't quite follow u! I don't thinks the source provides more power than neeed it because the power output on the source maches the one in the motherboard tech spec. Thou that might me a starting point, but I don't think I would buy a new source just for that; or could this cause more problems? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] gtk display
hi all ! I have a problem reguarding my gtk aplications they cannot be started using sudo nmapfe(or any program for that matter) the error message is Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: i'm using the e17 windows manager, if it makes any differences Thanks! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] gtk display
This occurs only with sudo? Yes I had a similar problem, solved by adding the following to visudoers: # Uncomment to allow users in group wheel to export variables Defaults:%wheel !env_reset # Allow users in group users to export specific variables # Defaults:%users env_keep=TZ == Defaults:%users env_keep=DISPLAY There are probably other ways to solve this, but that works for me. Hope it helps you. It did solve my problem Thanks! Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
