Greetings,
Last night I had to reboot my box because the screen had gone all
wonky. The reboot has resulted in an obviously different font being
used in terminal windows, emacs, etc, etc.
Comparing Xorg logs from Oct (the previous reboot) to now, Xorg has
been upgraded from 1.12.2 to 1.13.0. Th
In the past when I wanted/needed a newer version of a package than is
in portage, I'd create an entry in /usr/local/portage.
For example for app-example/some-package/some-package.x.y.z.ebuild, I'd
1) create directory /usr/local/portage/app-example/some-package
2) copy some-package.x.y.z.ebuild to

Good morning!
I have a Rosewill 75 in 1 card reader with slots for USB, SATA, SD,
microSD, etc. udev recognizes USB devices and mounts them

However, when SD and microSD cards are inserted, /var/log/messages
doesn't report anything and the cards aren't mounted.

My USB subsystem is working much better now (than it was this

Mounting USB devices is very, very slow. This morning I inserted my
PNY memory stick at 10:18:22 but "df" didn't show it mounted until 3
minutes later at 10:21:05.
As background information, in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules is:
KERNEL=="sd*1", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="PNY", SYMLINK+="PNY",
G'day,
ISO-8859-1 uses byte values 0xC0 to 0xFF for European accented
characters (amongst otherss).
I have a binary file whose bytes have values 0xC0 to 0xFF. Emacs is
presently displaying them as octal, i.e. \300\301\302\303 etc.
How do I get emacs to display them as accented characters?

Greetings,
This morning, all of the sudden, I'm encountering process creation
problems. The problems seem to affect only bash. There are no problems
starting X applications like firefox and open office.
FWIW, my usual "update world" was done yesterday (and emerged the

G'day,
I've been running baselayout-2 for several months and it's been working
fine AFAICT. Over the weekend I noticed that my USB thumb drive is no
longer automounting.
This evening I ran "/etc/init.d/udev status" which reported:
* status: stopped".
Running "/etc/init.d/udev start" repor
I've been using VirtualBox recently with 32-bit Ubuntu for a work
project. It seems that whenever my thumb drive is moved between host and
guest operating system, Gentoo is mounts it as a new device (see
below). Can these extra device mounts be avoided?
Regards,
David

Hello James,
Thanks for writing. Lots of good information in your post!
I've working on porting some DOS code to Linux and (as you likely know)
the code needed for serial communications differs greatly between the 2
environments.
The initial problem was trying to identify COM1, COM2, etc from l

My mobo has two serial ports.
As reported by hwinfo they are:
Serial Port 0: 0x3f8
Serial Port 1: 0x2f8
After booting the machine, dmesg indicates that tty0 is the console
with message:
console [tty0] enabled
/dev names a multitude of tty devices, i.e. /dev/tty0, /dev/tty1, ...

G'day,
I'm looking for a disassembler so that I can see the underlying
assembly code in a variety of files, for example elf executables, DOS
executables, binary files (such as the master boot record (MBR)), etc.
Portage doesn't seem to include any, leastways eix hasn't revealed any
to me.

As background, http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233097 has an
experimental, unsupported ebuild for openwatcom-1.7.1 and it doesn't
quite work :-<
The ebuild's src_compile function is:
src_compile() {
./build.sh || die "build.sh failed"
}
When I run "emerge =dev-lang/openwat
