But may I ask, why you changed from a stable KDE-Version to the CVS one? I think, it's normal, that versions coming from the CVS do not always work as they are supposed to do. Since a few days KDE 3.1.3 is in portage (at least ~x86), I use this since then and had yet no problems (even with arts). Because I like to do some small patches, and I can't do it on an outdated version. I just want to add a quick note here. I have actually found stable to be less stable for me than CVS. Of course I also do daily updates on KDE-CVS and have only have problems a few times (recompiling in an hour or so usually fixed that.) I personally like seeing what is new and up and coming and getting a few surprises than waiting for 6 months for the next version to come out (if I wanted that then I wouldn't be using Gentoo which gives me these opportunities to play.) Well, things in CVS change, perhaps some critical code changed from your slackware CVS snippet to the one you are using with Gentoo (just a guess). Probably. I'll try to downgrade Arts. Thanks anyway. Question here... are you using the wonderful ebuilds from Dan Armak ( http:// dev.gentoo.org/~danarmak/kde-cvs.html )? If not I would suggest trying them. If you are you might want to look at the following use flag: artswrappersuid It is a local USE flag for Arts CVS that will set the suid on the artswrapper. This should help. If that isn't set then there will be a lag generally (even though this was supposedly fixed without that I can't get good sound.) Another place to look into would be your kernel. I'm not sure which kernel you are using, but some are definitely better than others in terms of sound and also desktop usage. I'm currently using the CK-Sources ( http://bugs. gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22822 ) as they are the best functioning sources I have found (without doing it all from a vanilla kernel.) Just a few suggestions that may help. One last one... ccache... this should almost be a requirement with CVS ebuilds. Works wonderfully to lower the amount of time required to recompile the sources. Hope that helps a little and good luck :) Justin T -- Andrea Bergia - studente Linux Registered User #281550 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I found another environment var which I also tried, but It didn't help also, so I removed it again. I can't imagine that the guys who wrote this software made localisation dependent of one _undocumented_ env. var.

[gentoo-user] 2.6.0_beta2 fine except laptop touchpad
Hello, Having stayed on 2.4.x for all this time I decided to plunge into 2.6.0_beta2 hoping that by now things may have stabilised a little. I encountered some problems that were resolved either by including more options in kernel or by re-emerging baselayout and module-init-tools. However, there's one problem that just refuses to go away. When I start xdm my laptop touchpad just won't work. I have not modified my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 at all but am pretty sure all kernel options are included and more. Any suggestions would be much appreciated so that I can be on my way using the new kernel. Many thanks. Dhruba Bandopadhyay. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I am interested - in case you agree that we do it using Qt. Qt? Shouldn't it be in console languages (ncurses or dialog) given that this will be used to install gentoo.

[gentoo-user] wavelan-cs - pcmcia-cs and dev-sources (2.6)
Wavelan-CS and Pcmcia-CS provides a set of modules for the kernel 2.4 So, both ebuilds in their DEPEND list only need linux-headers (that are 2.4.19/21). I understand that there is no compatibily with modules for 2.4 in 2.6 kernel. The question is, wavelan an pcmcia-cs (and other ebuilds that provides modules for 2.4 kernels) works on a 2.6 kernels? Dummy question (because i can try and test it) but i will not be in my home for a couple of months, and dont have a good connection for download kernel sources. (Right now its too slow and i only have 1 compressed-ssh conexion to my home computer) Sorry about my english. :) -- octavio ruiztacvbo at tacvbo do net www.tacvbo.net (+52 55) 55 94 55 68 (+52 55) 55 94 55 68 www.tacvbo.net tacvbo at tacvbo dot net octavio ruiz -- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I used these same steps to resort my mail and it worked fine. Hope that helps :) Much appreciated. Dhruba Bandopadhyay. P.S. postfix, procmail, courier-imap in use Just for the sake of completeness in the thread and because I am also looking for a similar solution does anyone know how can this same thing be done but using maildrop instead of procmail? maildrop in delivery mode should be called as maildrop -d destination email Any ideas? I've never used maildrop before so I'm not exactly sure but try replacing 'procmail' with 'maildrop -d': cd path/to/dir/new for file in *; do maildrop -d $file done I'm not sure if that will work but it's worth a try.

Those are my thoughts... That is exactly the problem. Trying to identify many of the AMD chips correctly is a major challenge. Witness the warning about K6 chips in recent releases of portage. It's not really a matter of even adding more functionality, changing the flag output is just a product of updating the database. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [gentoo-user] eth0 problems after installing gentoo 1.4rc4
Hot Diggety! Steven Marcotte was rumored to have written: By chance do you have ACPI (the power management stuff) enabled in the kernel? If you do, you might try turning it off and see what happens. Yeah, agreed. Looks like the LiveCD boot disables it with a acpi=off parameter passed to the kernel, which is probably why it works then. Likely use of ACPI broke IRQ routing in some way which probably explains why the driver didn't process a single packet, is my best guess. -Dan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
