My problem is that now when I run emerge -u world alot of what was upgraded for kde3.2 now wants to be downgraded? What do I do for this? I don't think I want to run emerge -u world with the ~x86 cause I don't want to break anyhitng on this box? you can manually mask/unmask the various packages, but do yourself a favour: DON'T run a partial ~x86/x86 system. it's just a world of hurt. seriously, i'm running a full ~x86 system with very few problems, and what problems i run into, are easily solved with a trip to forums.gentoo.org. when your run a half half system, you're constantly fighting with portage to mask/unmask various packages every time you do an emerge -uD world. I don't fully agree here, on of the things I do like about gentoo is the fact that you can run a mostly stable system while adding some bleeding edge on the top, It does of course require some more work then running plain x86 or ~x86, since you can't do emerge -uD world, but doing emerge -puDv world and then manually emerging the things that looks interresting is pretty painless. /Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Any ideas? Check under ~/Mail , that's what kmail uses as default. /Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] List police on replies
Hi,

My point is that should the Gentoo list itself remove extra reply-to's
and add one to ensure that the replies get sent to the list and not to
personal mailboxes?
Since this all sides will agree about this issue at about the same time as
everyone agrees to kill either vi or emacs you can do this pretty easy
yourself with procmail or similar.
a procmail example:
:0
* ^List-Id:.*gentoo-user\.gentoo\.org
{
:0hf
| formail -I Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:0
.linux.gentoo.user/
}
-
(haven't tested this, but can't see any obvious errors, ofc delivery
mailbox/maildir need to be changed)

Re: [gentoo-user] Time setting

On my desktop(Gentoo) the BIOS/CMOS is correct and linux is 1 hout ahead. Check your CLOCK setting in /etc/rc.conf if it's set to UTC then gentoo will show bios time +1 for CET. If you want it to show the bios time, then set CLOCK to local. /Michael Andreen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

But, afaik, it will still be possible to ctrl+alt+f1 (or another f-key if you're logged into another vc) and ctrl+c or ctrl+z your startx and get access to your account. A way to solve this is with: startx vlock /Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] nvidea emerge instructions?

I'm getting an error message NV: could not open control device /dev/nvidiactl (No such file or directory) (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Indeed, /dev/nvidiactl does not exist. Are there any specific options I needed to enable in my kernel to make this work? agpgart? Other stuff? dri/drm? That's required by the Radeon family, but this is a new box and new kernel, so likely I didn't get somethign turned on if required. You need to load the kernel module: modprobe nvidia and maybe add nvidia to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.[456] /Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
