Re: [gentoo-user] Can't watch DVD Movies!!

[Joel Wright]

Might be worth installing xine as well. In my experience xine plays
dvd's much better than mplayer (and you'll get the menus and stuff). I
never could make mplayer do that!

Have Fun,

[gentoo-user] Gnome Character Encoding

[Joel Wright]

Hi guys,

Having a real problem with epiphany/evolution. I can't seem to work out
how to set the default character encoding to ISO-8859-1. The default I
get gives me loads of weird characters that look like little boxes with
4 letters/numbers inside.

Any tips on how to fix this would be great,
Cheers,
Joel.

(Manually setting the character encoding to ISO-8859-1 solves the
problem)

Re: [gentoo-user] ATI video card

[Joel Wright]

You could try flashing the bios of the card to the corresponding pc
version. Other than that the cards SHOULD be the same, obviously though,
flashing the bios of a graphics card can be dangerous, and I can't
guarantee it'll work.

RE: [gentoo-user] Desktop session frozen..

[Joel Wright]

Hi

As far as I'm aware this is not true (since runlevels 3,4 and 5 are all
the same in gentoo). The only way to avoid booting into kdm is to either
change the value of DISPLAYMANAGER in /etc/rc.conf to something else
(gdm or xdm or ome of the new e managers) or to remove xdm from the
default runlevel

rc-update del xdm default

as root

changing the runlevel from 5 to 3 only stops X loading on RedHat and
RedHat derived linux distros.

Have Fun,
Joel.

[gentoo-user] GNU info directory index ....

Hi guys,

Every time I use emerge I get the following error :

 * Regenerating GNU info directory index...
install-info: menu item `Bash' already exists, for file `bash'
 * Processed 80 info files; 1 errors.

This is the last thin emerge does (and I've used --verbose to get as
much information as possible). The problem is, I have no idea what this
means, much less how to fix it.

Re: [gentoo-user] spam problem

[Joel Wright]

Spamassassin (package is a good option. Seems to deal with my spam
problems adequately. I only say adequately as it does seem to miss the
occasional spam message, and label some non-spam messages (such as the
slashdot mailing list) as spam, but overall is a decent solution.

Instructions on setting spamassassin up as an evolution filter are
available online, (and is rather easy).

Hope that helps,
Joel.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with nvidia

[Joel Wright]

Hi,

These pages have reference bioses for most nvidia cards up to the
geforce4: http://bunny.xs4all.nl/hardware/vid_nvidia.html,
http://www.nvplanet.com/modules.php?name=Sections&op=listarticles&secid=2

The tools used to test/flash the bioses (vgabios/nvflash) require you to
be in DOS (so you may need to download a DOS boot disk). This MUST BE
DOS and not a dos box in windows (or a dos emulator in linux!!).

This page provides information on the flashing procedure (and loads of
links): http://www.tweak3d.net/faq/faq.html#hw:gef:flash:nvflashhow

Hope they help,

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with nvidia

[Joel Wright]

Hi,

The only suggestion I can make is to flash your bios to the nvidia
default. I realise this can be a bit worrying, but so long as you save
your original bios and have a pci gfx card to use in the event of
something going wrong, there's no reason you wont be able to return to
your current state.

I had this problem for months with a geforce3 Ti500, i spent ages
changing kernel options, module options, and main bios settings until I
finally got fed up and flashed my bios. This changed my X startup times
from ~5mins to ~2secs.

Good Luck.

Hotkeys allows you to map extra keys to useful actions, and has a number of 
presets for special keyboards. I know the iTouch is supported (I use it

you can use the 'xev' program to identify keycodes to make your own hotkeys 
config file if there isn't one for your keyboard in the presets.

Re: [gentoo-user] qt compiles fail

[Joel Wright]

Turns out this was a known bug!

I had to remove gtk+ mozilla pango and freetype, then clean up after them and 
reinstall. Did this, and everything now seems to work fine.

Thanks for all the help
Joel.

Re: [gentoo-user] qt compiles fail

[Joel Wright]

Okay, turns out libxft was the problem, i removed it and can now compile qt 
apps happily again.

But what I want to know is what package installed libxft as a dependency in 
the first place? (i.e. have I now broken something).

Still, at least I can upgrade my system again :)

Joel.

Cheers to all those who offered help & advice, especially to Paul de Vrieze 
who pointed me to the problem in my config.log.

[Joel Wright]

Yeah, I made a point of re-installing qt after the gcc upgrade. I really have 
no idea what's going on now - been banging my head against this for 3 days 
now.

Re: [gentoo-user] qt compiles fail

[Joel Wright]

I now attach the config.log file from my failed build of kdelibs. I hope 
someone can enlighten me as to what's going wrong here :(

i had to gzip the log or the gentoo list won't accept it

Re: [gentoo-user] linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0 ebuild problems

[Joel Wright]

You could always recreate the digest file for the package using

ebuild linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0.ebuild digest

from the folder in /usr/portage that it lives in

make sure the dowloaded file's okay first though eh?!

[gentoo-user] qt compiles fail

[Joel Wright]

HELP!! - I can no longer compile any apps which use qt

the ./configure's always fails telling me :

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1 (20021021)) (library qt-mt) 
not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!

!!! ERROR: kde-base/arts-1.1.0 failed.
!!! Function kde_src_compile, Line 112, Exitcode 1
!!! died running ./configure, kde_src_compile:configure

always the same error regardless of package (apart from the package name 
obviously!).. :(

now I KNOW that qt3.1.0-r2 is installed okay because I have re-emerged it 
succesfully several times, asnd have checked that libqt-mt.so* is in 
/usr/qt/3/lib/

WHAT IS GOING ON!!!

and more importantly - how the hell do i fix it?!?!

I've searched the forum and can find no solution to this problem, and well as 
trawled my way through the last months worth of mailing list - nothing!

info :- qt = 3.1.0, gcc = 3.2.2

Cheers for any advice,
Joel.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem upgrading kdelibs

[Joel Wright]

As I said, I have gcc3.2.2 and qt3.1.1 installed. qt3.1.1seems to live in 
/usr/qt/3/lib (i never had a version of qt prior to 3.1.0 installed).

i have re-emerged qt3.1.1 and still have the same problems.

I really am not sure what's going on here!!!

still no joy, and I can't find anything to help me!!

[gentoo-user] Problem upgrading kdelibs

[Joel Wright]

Hi guys, 

Really got a problem here. Trying to upgrade my Gentoo (1.4 stable) box, and 
it fails trying to update kdelibs. It says it can't find the qt-mt library 
(which is in /usr/qt/3/lib - I checked). Any help trying to solve this 
problem would be greatly appreciated. Here are the relevant outputs:

$ sudo emerge kdelibs
Password:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) kde-base/kdelibs-3.1-r2 to /
..
..
..
checking for libjpeg... -ljpeg
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1 (20021021)) (library qt-mt) 
not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!

!!! ERROR: kde-base/kdelibs-3.1-r2 failed.
!!! Function kde_src_compile, Line 112, Exitcode 1
!!! died running ./configure, kde_src_compile:configure

My gcc version is 3.2.2, and qt is 3.1.1(-r2).

Cheers,
Joel.
