I'm totally not a fan of systemd, and I admittedly haven't looked into the nvidia-drivers ebuild and patches, but I guess it applies the patch which is necessary to get nvidia-drivers working with an acpi enabled kernel. So this hasn't anything to do with the acpi daemon or systemd but the kernel as far as I know. > USE multilib: I don't know? Could someone point out what I could need > that for?

Thanks a lot, very helpful. I followed your suggestions and run gnome now successfully with both the latest (stable) kernel and nvidia-drivers. USE-flag acpi ... I don't know if I still need that with systemd, I vaguely remember that it is somehow obsolete then. It pulled in sys-power/acpid now which wasn't there before.

[gentoo-user] Firefox-bin-28.0-r1: Missing commonDialog icons? Anybody else seeing this?
Hello
When starting up firefox-bin this morning I got the
following dialog box popping up:
$ firefox-bin
"Configuration Error"
"Failed to read configuration file. Please contact your
system administrator."
After confirming with "OK" the firefox-bin process is
terminated. No browser today for me :-(
$ firefox-bin -version
Mozilla Firefox 28.0
What I tried to do, without success:
uninstalled and re-installed firefox-bin, cleaned the
program directory and my configuration in between
checked to run firefox-bin as root
Checked whether there is a file named mozilla.cfg, there is
none.
created empty /opt/firefox/defaults/pref/mozilla.cfg
added "//" to the first line of mozilla.cfg
Safe mode pops up the same dialog box:
$ firefox-bin -safe-mode
Started the profile browser:
$ firefox-bin -P
The profile browser lets me delete and create profiles. But
firefox still shows the dialog and quits.
checked bugs (had to install chrome, but didn't like
chrome):
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672671
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=833117
Checked with strace which files cannot be read:
Just when the dialog box pops up I see:
urs@Evo ~ $ strace -e trace=file -f firefox-bin

access("/opt/firefox/browser/chrome", F_OK) = 0
access("commonDialog.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file

access("/opt/firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/commonDialog16.xpm",
R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
This icons are really missing in my installation:
urs@Evo ~ $ ls /opt/firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/
default16.png default32.png default48.png
I downgraded firefox-bin to the latest stable version 24.4.0
The icons from above are still not installed, but this
version is starting up and is usable. So for me there is a
workaround. I am still a little nervous about security
concerns with an old browser version.
Additional information here, some lines of the Gentoo
emerge log history:
urs@Evo ~ $ genlop firefox-bin
Thu Mar 6 21:57:34 2014 >>> www-client/firefox-bin-27.0.1
Thu Mar 20 08:42:44 2014 >>> www-client/firefox-bin-28.0
Sat Mar 29 08:47:39 2014 >>> www-client/firefox-bin-28.0-r1
I am pretty sure that I had used firefox-bin-28.0 last week
without troubles. So, is this just firefox-bin-28.0-r1?
Anybody else seeing this?
Thanks
Urs

Well, thank you Martin. I don't have anything complex; just some aliases
different from what's already in /root/.zshrc. Now that I've found where to put
mine I'm happy.
Apart, that is, from another problem I seem to have caused for myself. But
this is now OT re the original thread, so if I want to say more I'll start
another thread with it.
Thanks again.

The newest: gentoo-sources-3.13.7 and nvidia-drivers-334.21-r1. I've installed nvidia-drivers with USE="X acpi multilib tools uvm -pax_kernel". Had to add the USE flag uvm to get it working. And I reconfigured acpi in the kernel config. But I had some acpi features in my kernel I didn't need for my hardware anyway, which I removed. I don't know if this was necessary for nvidia-drivers to get working. As framebuffer driver I've compiled the kernel with CONFIG_FB_VESA=y. The USE flag multililb is, of course, only necessary if you need it. Heiko

If you have a complex bash configuration file which you want to keep,
source your .bashrc (or whatever you use) in compatibility mode
(the anonymous function will keep that mode local only for sourcing):
() {
emulate -L sh
setopt kshglob noshglob braceexpand nonomatch
. ~/.bashrc
}
Most setups should work without any issues in this compatibility
mode, the most notable exception being [[ $var ]] which must be
cast into the more compatible [[ -n $var ]].
[gentoo-user] latest gentoo-sources and nvidia ?
Does anyone already successfully run gentoo-sources-3.13.7 with nvidia-drivers? If yes, which version does work? I am still at 3.13.6 plus nvidia-drivers-331.49 Thanks, Stefan
