 When I've seen this message before, it is because a package I have in

Does scanimage -L find it? If not, try as root, this is usually due to
permissions on the device. You may need to change the MODE and GROUP
assignments in your udev rule to use := instead of = if your settings
are being overridden by another rule.

[gentoo-user] System cold crashing when too much memory is used?

2012-10-19 Thread Konstantinos Agouros
hi,

I am running a Xen host with gentoo sources 3.4.9. I've had issues
that the box cold reboots on me and suspected memory use. Today I 
ran the following little perl script:

my $a = a x 1000; 
$b = $a x 1000;

while(1)
{
  $b .= $b;
}

2 Minutes about 2G swapped out (Dom0 has about 6GB of ram and lots of swap)
and boom cold boot. No panic message on the screen before.

Anybody has an idea what might be causing this?

During on of these episodes I ran memtest86 on the box without error.

CPU is an AMD Phenom 6core.

Regards,

Konstantin

[gentoo-user] Strange console font: m looks like small M

2012-10-19 Thread Jarry

Hi,

I just installed Gentoo on one box and noticed one
strange thing when I'm in console:

Small letter m looks more like M reduced in size.
And small w looks more like small and rotated M.
How can I fix it???

If by console you mean the console, you can
compile a custom kernel with the console font
you desire.

If you mean a terminal emulator, such as xterm,
you can usually use -fn lucidasanstypewriter-10
or -fn -*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-80-100-100-*-*-*-*
or some similar nonsense. x11-apps/xfontsel can
help with finding font names.

Maybe the default font in your video card is funny. It seems they are
all different.

You can manually set a new font using the setfont program which
comes from the sys-apps/kbd package.

If you are using openrc, it contains /etc/conf.d/consolefont and
/etc/init.d/consolefont which you can use to automatically override
with a font of your own choosing at each reboot.

I personally use ter-112n from the package media-fonts/terminus-font
on my console.

You have a lot of configuration file in that directory, I have only one or two.
Anyhow, according to your first post the output of root:

sane-find-scanner -q is:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9, product=0x01eb) at libusb:002:008

go to directory: /etc/sane.d/
and find out which file contains: 0x04f9 or 0x01eb

run:
find -type f -print0 | xargs -r0 grep -F '0x04f9'
or
find -type f -print0 | xargs -r0 grep -F '0x01eb'

post the content of that file.
