[gentoo-user] Bug in bash ?
Can somebody explain why ls [A-Z]* works as ls * (or ls -R): It seems that [A-Z] is ignored by bash-3.1.17 on amd64. The expression works as expected with zsh... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Bug in bash ?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This is no bug. Bash globs everything that begins with A-Z (also directories) and then gives that list to ls. So ls lists all these files and the directories that begin with A-Z. Strangely though, bash seems to ignore case.

[gentoo-user] virtualbox shared folder anyone?
I have Virtualbox version 1.3.8 (binary) installed on my Gentoo system. I have run vboxmanage sharedfolder add WinXP -name linux -hostpath /BackUp and in WinXP's command line window net use x: \\vboxsvr\linux but I always get network path not found. I've checked that /BackUp has rwx permissions for everyone. Unfortunately, Virtualbox is completely useless for me without a working shared folder.

If LC_COLLATE is not C or POSIX then e.g. [A-D] can be equal to [AbBcCdD] or [AaBbCcD]. So set LC_COLLATE to C and you'll get a portable behaviour.

Re: [gentoo-user] initrd for LVM no longer works
In the mean time, I also tried to build a manual initrd containing all the tools and commands in linuxrc I need to activate LVM volumes. But the problem remains, the kernel boots but when initrd is extracted and mounted everything seems to go wrong, and the system again stops giving Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. I have ran out of ideas, I guess this must be the most bizarre Linux related problem I have ever encountered. Any ideas are still welcome.

Both the initrd I generated using lvm2create_initrd and the manual one didn't work with /dev/ram0, but the manual one does with /dev/ram1. Why the previous initrd did work is a big question to me.

[gentoo-user] Keyboard works in Grub but not once Gentoo is booted
My son got a new, fancy Razer gaming keyboard for his birthday today. The keyboard works in grub so I can choose Windows or Linux. It works fine in Windows but once Gentoo is booted it does nothing.

This is also true for their Copperhead mouse with is 1532:0101. Is there a way for me to indicate to the system that these ID's should use regular USB mouse and keyboard drivers?

I must not have something turned on that is required for any of these USB input devices to work. Of course, by 'not working' I'm saying X isn't responding. Maybe the mouse is working and X isn't configured correctly? xorg.conf has this: Section InputDevice # Identifier and driver Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option ProtocolAuto # Auto detect Option Device /dev/input/mice As I say with the M$ mouse plugged in it's recognized but it doesn't cause X to do anything: Sector9 linux # lsusb Bus 002 Device 015: ID 045e:0039 Microsoft Corp.

[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] Keyboard works in Grub but not once Gentoo is booted
Rebuilt the kernel with a few more options and rebooted. It's working now. No way to be exactly sure what got it going at this point. Not sure I care. It works! Thanks for the help. Over and out, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Permission denied during emerge...
I've started getting this: Permission denied: access('/', W_OK) on my
emerges. I've gotten for two different un-related projects. It seems to
happen during the install.
I've look at permission on / and they look normal to me. And I am running
this as root.
Thanks

[gentoo-user] Thunderbird 2.0 browser fonts are tiny
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Since upgrading to Thunderbird 2.0.0.0, the browser font used to display trees (folders, message lists) is tiny, so tiny that (a) I have difficulty reading it, and (b) nothing is rendered in bold. The docs speak of userChrome.css as the file (not present by default) that allows one to modify the browser's appearance, but strace -fe trace=open /usr/bin/thunderbird 21 | \ fgrep userChrome.css yields nothing; Thunderbird 2.0 apparently no longer uses userChrome.css. How can I change the size of the fonts in Thunderbird's browser? TIA. - --- Vladimir -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGKu18Eo/yvZUwubMRAt2UAJ9xLk9XjC0BmrsKSM3eX+foiTtAdgCffcD/ sgfvVpn3DDoPSmFo+qEI238= =uU8F -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
