Re: [gentoo-user] man problem: ESC[1m everywhere... ESC[0m
-- Jean-Marc Paulin [EMAIL PROTECTED] spake thusly: 2. Todays pb. From any terminal (X or not), if I type man man (or man anything in fact), I see on the screen ESC[1m instead of bold characters. Looks very much like the old escape sequence for VT100 kindof terminal. I have obviously srewed something up somewhere. But what Can anyone help me on this? I was recently getting that for a couple days as well. It seems to have fixed itself, and I'm not sure whether it's because I got around to running etc-update or because I upgraded again. I've been doing a lot of both the last couple days. I'm just guessing here, but I'd give etc-update a try, and if that doesn't work do emerge -u man. In the meantime (until you get it fixed), you can get things to at least look better by doing: $ export PAGER='less -s -R' This will cause less to pass through the ANSI color escape sequences. Good luck. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] distcc
This is a solved problem, but I thought i'd share it with you. On my machine at least, distccd, (which was running as nobody), wasn't getting the path to gcc, (as provided by sourcing /etc/profile.env). This was resulting in remote compiles failing with: 'gcc: command not found'. This happens because distcc isn't being run in a login shell by start-stop-daemon, and so /etc/profule isn't sourced, (as it is when you login). On a side note, suing to root, didn't give me gcc either... I had to add '. /etc/profile' to my root's .bashrc. Anyway, to fix this I simply added '. /etc/profile' to /etc/init.d/distccd, just before it starts distccd. These dynamically pathed gcc's have caused me so many problems :/ MAL -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] mother board recommendations
-Original Message- From: brett holcomb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: February 6, 2003 11:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] mother board recommendations Okay. I understand now. I thought it was for the graphics cards. VIA is a mess - I don't buy boards with VIA chipsets. I'll add my two cents :) I have not used an Intel chipset MB since an early pentium (HX chipset I think). Never had a problem with VIA on any OS (Win 9.x, 2000, XP, Corel, RH, Mandrake, Gentoo). Now that I said that, I just picked up a great deal on a i845 chipset MB last night. Once I get a P4 power supply (I did not know they were not ATX, but ATX12V) I will see how it runs under Gentoo. My only concern is the manual does not say exactly what sound chipset it is, but it is AC97 compliant so I should be fine. I will be running this with the cheapest chip I could find, Celeron 1.7 at 400Mhz bus (a P4 Celeron). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

To clarify, I've upgraded both the kernel module and the glx module. (they're both at 1.0.4191-r1). I am running ~X86, so that could be the issue. In any case, I'm able to use the nv driver (non 3d accellerated) and it works all right, so it's not a huge issue. It'd just be nice to figure out what the problem is.. There was a whole bunch of stuff that got upgraded at the same time. I use nvidia-1.0.4191-r1 and XFree-4.2.99.4 ... baselayout changed about the same time. I didn't know where to look to discover why mozilla segfaulted and X response was so slow. It turned out to be a font problem. /etc/fonts/fonts.conf used to work OK but now it seems to need to have font directories listed that have no subdirectories, so dir/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/dir is not good enough any more.
