With this command (it takes a very long time to run!) you will know wich programs reinstall: for i in $(ls -1 /bin /sbin) ; do equery belongs $i ;done | sort | uniq /tmp permissions are 1777 if I rememeber correctly. /home is not vital for system sanity, defer its recovery Mount your system in chroot as if you would install your Gentoo (use the installation CD and install guide, skipping partitioning, formatting, bootstrap...!) and rebuild system programs and those listed by the command above. Another option, much faster is to skip the equery step, mount the chroot and: "emerge -e system" Other programs complaining about permissions can be restored in a following phase, from within the running system.

[gentoo-user] user interface font in OOo? Can we change it?
Long time ago I was using "AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni" and "AR PL ZenKai Uni" for Chinese characters and defined in fontconfig. Most other people and gentoo default does the samiliar, take a look at your default fontconfig, there are some Chinese fonts in the list of 'Serif' font face. This setting has effect in every gnome (or, gtk) application except OOo. OOo wasn't using the right font for Chinese, I don't know what font is OOo trying to use for Chinese text on the UI, could be Kochi Mincho or something, but the result is many Chinese characters are either missing or in wrong position or ugly. This only happens on the UI elements like buttons, text inputs, text boxes... not on the document itself. So: 1) Is there a way to change the user interface font used by OOo? Thus I can specify OOo to use the 'right font'. 2) Is there a way to know what font OOo is trying to use on interface when displaying Chinese? Thus I can set fontconfig replacement for that font. any good idea? I believe most Chinese users of OOo (could be even some Korean users) also have this problem. I was expecting this problem being solved in OOo 2.0 because it promised a native widget and in the past I though this was a bug for OOo running in non-KDE environment. Now OOo 2.0 is just like it's ealier versions. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Haven't actually done a new ebuild, just did those steps manually (ie installed libzvt, renamed the ebuild and picked up the chmod thing from an error message after I started the program.)

OK, but that's like using the word in the definition to a guy who's never used a proxy. ;-) I'm still unclear though, and I'm sure I'll find this out either through reading or use. do all packets for the machine using the proxy go through the proxy? Or is it more like a DNS server where just the URL's go through the proxy to figure out what to do? Right now the machine under observation is on one wireless leg. The one machine that's on all the time is on anothe wireless leg. Neither is directly tied to the cable modem. If the traffic pattern looks like M_OBSERVE -> router -> M_SQUID -> router -> Internet -> router -> M_SQUID -> router -> M_OBSERVE The I created a lot of extra wireless traffic, especially since the machine being observed seems to like to watch a lot of gaming videos. If it's just addresses, then no big deal. If it's the whole data stream then it's not going to work well. On the other hand I have a MythTV frontend that is not always turned on but could be, I suppose, which is on the router, as are a few of my audio machines.

[gentoo-user] [Fwd: Frozen Video]
I have a box running kernel version 2.6.13-r5, and MythTV 0.18.2 built from portage. I'm using a video card with the nvidia nv18 chipset (6600?). I also have a custom xorg modeline for my widescreen HDTV. My video card is connected via a VGA to component converter. The screen looks good and regular desktop mode works fine. The mouse moves. MythTV menus are displayed and the cursor moves around when I hit the arrow keys. The problem is when I switch to a video mode. The video freezes at the first frame. The audio continues and plays just fine. The freezing problem occurs whether I'm viewing LiveTV, previously recorded shows, and even video files via MythVideo (uses mplayer). All of this used to work until I upgraded hardware and rebuilt my system. I have no idea what the cause might be or where to start looking. Any ideas?

Emerge now works. remount portage, doesn't work. You were right, this is an NFS problem. Not sure what type, but I at least know what to look for, and can get my system upgraded in the meantime. I appreciate your input, thanks for your time. I will try and post if I figure out what th eproblem is. I checked the Gentoo wiki, there is a how-to on getting portage on an nfs share, which is what I used to set it up initially. I will have to look and see if I can figure out why it stopped working, which seems bazaar. Michael On Nov 4, 2005, at 10:19 AM, Billy Holmes wrote: Michael A Rowley, MD wrote: works.

It is unspecified whether the command that turns tracing off is traced. so 'set +x' disables debugging, and 'set -x' enables it for the shell. Perhaps the script is doing something else right after that... maybe an strace? However, I don't think it's something that complicated. Normally the simplest answer is correct.

Yes, the 2.6.12.6 module is still there. I probably built it under 2.6.12.6 and then 'removed' it while running 2.6.14. What *should* happen in those circumstances? Also, my kernels have no support for module unloading, which is probably a mistake when I need to play around with ipw2100 etc. This at last explains why I had to keep rebooting to see the effect of changes. > >Is the warning about versions 19 and 17 significant?

Anyway should check forums and bugs for something similar. Well, I'm certainly not an authority here, but based on your comment, I do recall that when I did a recent update (either the emerge of Open Office 2.0 or the upgrade of MySQL), one of them changed some files that were related to X and QT (sorry, this isn't a very good description - I just saw the listing go by on the screen). At the end of the emerge, I got told that some configuration files in /etc had changed and what to do to find out out the files were. When I ran etc-update, it then gave me 3 choices regarding what to do -1, -3, and - -5. I chose the -3 options, which replaces the config files. However, even knowing this, and surmising that this might be the problem, I have no idea what to do to correct it.

True, when I did an emerge recently, it downloaded new kernel sources, but I haven't installed them yet. (This is because I am working on something that has a deadline and I've never updated the kernel in Gentoo before.

A little practical problem. In the 2.4 sources, there is a file called /Documentation/configure.help (I don't remember the exact name), which contains all the help texts that are available on request in menuconfig, so that they can be read at leisure. In the 2.6 sources, that file does no longer exist. Yet the help is still there, and there is bound to be a data base somewhere. I have looked for it in the sources, but could not identify it.
