You don't need the executable bit set on bashrc. ~/.bashrc gets read when you start an interactive shell, e.g. an xterm. When you log in a login shell is started, which reads ~/.bash_profile. If you want that your ~/.bashrc will be read on login include the following statement in ~/.bash_profile [[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] . ~/.bashrc Cheers, Renat -- Probleme kann man niemals mit derselben Denkweise loesen, durch die sie entstanden sind.

Because the new ones are marked, I can find them easily and see whether there are old versions of them right next to them. If so, I select the old version. Then I deselect the old version. And when I'm through the list, I can delete everything that is still selected. This is more thorough than eclean, which by far doesn't find everything. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' *** Quits: TITANIC (Excess Flood) -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84

The correct answer is I don't know. I use gnome, not kde, as my desktop, but I do like the k3b disc-burner app, so I have the minimal kde and qt libs to support k3b. I recently ran into upgrade problems with my minimal qt/kde system that I fixed simply by deleting every package depending on either qt or kde, and all problems were magically fixed. (Don't ask me why.) Pain in the butt, but maybe worth the pain.
[gentoo-user] Kopete and Yahoo upgrade message
Hi, I use Yahoo messenger with Kopete as the GUI part of it. I keep getting this little error message and it is getting on my nerves here. This is what it keeps sending: [ebuild R ] kde-base/kopete-3.5.10-r4 USE=crypt groupwise highlight history sametime ssl statistics texteffect yahoo -addbookmarks -alias -autoreplace -connectionstatus -contactnotes -debug -emoticons-manager -gadu -irc -jabber (-jingle) -kdehiddenvisibility -latex -msn -netmeeting -nowlistening -oscar -slp -sms -translator -v4l2 -webpresence -winpopup -xscreensaver 0 kB I Googled to see if I could just block this but I can't figure out how to do that with Kopete. I can't find a block option anywhere in Kopete. I also replied to them just in case someone would see it but I still get this message.

This is I too get that since yesterday, but that's not an error message, but mere advertising from Yahoo by the use of a Yahoo account.

It is my hope that they will either cease to do that by themselves or due to the many complaints they will get from other users like us who don't fancy their software. :-/ -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' Pilot: Radar, Good Day, Airforce Blackbird, request FL 600 Controller (with a chuckle): Sir, if you can reach, you are cleared FL 600 Pilot: US Air Force Blackbird, leaving FL 800, descending Level 600 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
