[gentoo-user] problem with gimp, firefox and inkscape
Hi, I've a strange problem with some of my applications. the problem is when I want open a file in inkscape or gimp, or when I want to select a file in firefox to attach the select file appears and then the whole application crashes with this error: Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it. Segmentation fault or gimp: (script-fu:24851): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error Segmentation fault I've also done two sync and also deep-new_use update and tried revdev- rebuild which they did nothing. I also ran a memtest to check if faulty memory is the reason. But all the test passed without any problem. I don't have any problem with kde applications and also OpenOffice or Vlc. It seems that it is a gtk problem. I can open files when I pass them as a command line argument. I've opened a bug few days ago. But it seem that I'm the only one that have this problem. No one made any comment or voted for my bug. this is getting a little bit annoying. Specially in Firefox. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287709 Would anyone give me a clue what the problem is? Best Regards Platoali

[gentoo-user] problem configuring wireless lan
Hi,
I've a problem configuring my wireless interface. I usually connect to two
access points. One located at my home and another one at my work. The problem
is that I should change my /etc/conf.d/net every time to connect the
them.
here is my config:
---
preup() {
if [[ ${IFACE} == eth1 ]]; then
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 up
echo 0\
/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1c.1/:06:00.0/rf_kill
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 txpower on
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 up
sleep 3
fi

config_P_P=( 192.168.2.6 netmask 255.255.240.0 )
routes_P_P=( default via 192.168.1.10 )
dns_servers_P_P=( 127.0.0.1 4.2.2.4 )
When I set essid_eth1 to any, It can not detect the ESSID automatically and
connect to it, and I should edit the config file manually, and the strange
thing is when I specifically set my essid in the config it can successfully
connect to any of them. and I can manually scan the access points by iwlist:
---
localhost ISP # iwconfig eth1 txpower on
localhost ISP # iwlist eth1 scan
eth1 Scan completed :

[gentoo-user] move instalation from one system to another one.
Hi,
My old laptop is dying. I'm going to move my gentoo installation to a new
one. The old one was an old Pentium-M and the new one is core due. I want to
to tar the root and boot and .. files from the old one to untar it to the
new one. I want to know, What packages needs to rebuild (with What flags?)
in the old one so that I would have a basic runable system in the new that I
can rebuild all the packages on the new system with the new FLAGS?
Did anyone do this in the past? Have anyone any experiences regarding this
issue? Any comments? suggestions?
This is my old laptop make.conf
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CFLAGS=-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
MAKEOPTS=-j2

[gentoo-user] Ati or Nvida
Well, last night the graphic card of my laptop got broken. So I'm considering to replace it with a workstation for some graphic applications (Mainly blender and gimp.) I need 3d acceleration, and my poor laptop was rendering for hours to get my job done. So I decide to buy a workstation instead a laptop. I want to ask, which graphic cards are better supported in Linux. I know that ATI have freed or in the process of freeing their graphic cards driver. But I did not have any good memory from my previous experience with ATI. My previous card was ATI radeon 9600m and it never worked the way it had to until broken. I want to know, what is the current status of ATI drivers in Linux? Does the problems have been solved? Can they compete with Nvidia? And I want to know which one is better supported in Linux kernel regardless of how much open/free the drivers is. I'm currently thinking between Nvidia Quadro fx 1700 and Ati firegl 5600.

Does this mean that AMD have not released 3d parts of the drivers? Do they plan to release the 3d parts? There are problem threads on nvnews. But its a support forum most people using nvidia don't have any problems. Well, I've search a little bit, and found that Ati firegl 5600 beats Quadro fx 1700 in every way. according to this: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/graphics-cards/specapc-3ds-max-9-graphics,117.html Although all tests have been run on windows. It seems that Ati have better hardware and it is also going to be more open source friendly in near future. I'm planning to use this workstation for 3 or 4 years or even more. So I'm thinking to risk a little and bet on AMD , and hope that they deserve my hard earned money. but I'm not sure yet.

I have hosed partitions in the part using gparted because I shifted the beginning of the partition (and thus overwritten the partition boot sector). My advice is to use partition image or Norton Ghost to create an image of the data in your partition. Then, use fdisk to delete old partitions, create new and mkfs type to format these. Finally, use partimage again to dump the imaged data into a partition of your choice. Good luck. Thank you very much all you peaple for your recomandations. I acctually solved my problem by dd. I just create a new partition in the begining of my hard and then copy the old one. I did not need any other partitions data because I would format them all for the new gentoo system.
