[gentoo-user] Cannot upgrade kde-base/superkaramba

[gentoo-user] emacs font problem
Recently emacs (running in X "window" mode) seems to have developed a font problem. There are two cases where text displays as a mixture of filled and unfilled rectangles: 1) When the mouse pointer hovers over certain things a balloon pops up containing nothing but black filled rectangles. 2) When you select "About Emacs" from the Help menu, the logo renders properly at the top of the screen, but the rest is blocks and rectangles: http://www.panix.com/~grante/emacsabout.png Normal editing is fine. Google hasn't found anything except discussion of problems with a misssing default font (the one used during editing), and I don't have any problems with that.

I should add that despite these complaints, login is still possible, and what's especially surprising is that the messages are actually displayed. This suggests that I'm not very far from having it right, but /bin/login wants to complain anyway. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

[gentoo-user] vim(1) barks at root, and no other
For some reason, when I use vim as 'root' I get sporadic messages "no protocol specified" that show up on the console, in such a way that I think it's going to /dev/console. It gets into the text I'm editing, but isn't really there because ^L clears it. Save for some abbreviations related to the account, there's no differrence between /root/.vimrc and the one in my home directory, but only root sees this behavior. Even strings(1) does not find that message in /usr/bin/vim. It happens twice to the console before vim takes over the window, and sporadically during editing. I haven't seen any pattern to what I'm doing when it happens. Anybody have a clue where it's coming from? -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

The fork stems from the fact that his version and the SVN diverged due to an implementation disagreement between him and the one other remaining contributing mplayer dev with SVN access. Whilst I've heard Uoti referred to as a troll, I have no idea whether this is fair or not. It seems to me like there is an objection to him referring to his version as "mplayer-git" rather than "my fork", but if he is correct in his assertion that "official mplayer" is now maintained only by one guy (Reimar?), then I think that it's actually pretty reasonable to call them both equally different mplayer "versions". How is "official" mplayer better if it's actually no better supported than Uoti's version? I have heard more than one report of significant performance improvements using Uoti's git version and he seems helpful and responsive to bug reports on the -users mailing list. Of course the whole situation is a mess, with mencoder now unsupported and no facility to dump to / muxing MP4s. Stroller.
