I have Thunderbird to display all messages in text, as I prefer that over html. However, some text messages display in a smaller and lighter font than the rest. It's really annoying since one of the reasons for text-only is to have every message the same. I don't see any commonality between the messages that display differently. ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107553.html Sat, 17 May 2008 02:09:10 GMT Okay, I've had this happen before and was never able to fix it, hopefully someone here will recognize what is happening and tell me where I went wrong. I'm installing a new Gentoo box, and have the basic system installed ( without X ). The problem began after I completed a successful "emerge -DuN world" The symptom is: when I start nano, (just nano by itself, not editing a file), several hundred lines similar to the ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107545.html Fri, 16 May 2008 21:31:03 GMT I was looking at my users and groups on my box, and I realized that certain services add user accounts with specific UIDs, but then just gets the next GID for it's corresponding group. I know I, personally, would like to have the UIDs and GIDs match (and I spent the time with usermod, groupmod, and find fixing it so it was). I was wondering if there was any policy for this (and if so, should I file bugs?), and how other people felt about ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107541.html Fri, 16 May 2008 12:22:41 GMT Hello! I'm trying to join my Gentoo box to Windows 2003 domain and I need some help. I've set up smb.conf,. krb5.conf, got a krb ticket, but I'm not able to join domain: # net ads join -U admin -d2 [2008/05/16 16:13:11, 2] lib/interface.c:add_interface(81) added interface ip=192.168.5.21 bcast=192.168.5.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 admin's password: [2008/05/16 16:13:13, 2] ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107526.html Thu, 15 May 2008 18:21:58 GMT Hello, I have a FreeAgent(Seagate) usb drive, that shows up as /medea/sdb1 in Konqueror. I can go thru it via Konqueror and see all of the files (dll .exe, docs etc) but I cannot cd into the directories and sub directories and see any files. The kernel I use (2.6.24-gentoo-r7) has NTFS r/w enabled and fat fs too. It works fine with most usb/ntfs devices. I also have ivman installed as well as dbus and hald. I've ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107523.html Thu, 15 May 2008 15:51:10 GMT I'm having trouble running opengl apps like glxgears and tremulous. The nvidia kernel module is loaded and eselect reports that opengl is being handled by nvidia but still no opengl app runs. Glxgears complains about it being run in the wrong display. ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107515.html Thu, 15 May 2008 09:35:20 GMT Is it possible in packages.mask to mask only release candidates/alpha/beta versions, while leaving final releases unmasked? Thanks, Marko -- gentoo-user mailing list ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107497.html Thu, 15 May 2008 00:57:42 GMT Hello, I have a installation that did not complete successfully. I need to re enter the chroot environment, using a install cd. For argue purposes, let's assume the hard drive is formatted exactly as the example in the handbook. All I want to do is emerge an older kernel and compile it. According to what I glean from the handbook, these are the minimal steps to re enter the chroot environment after a failed reboot: ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107494.html Wed, 14 May 2008 23:31:51 GMT Following a recent jump from pre openrc to post openrc via emerge -vuD world, sendmail is now failing to authenticate with my Smart host. I'll say in advance that I am not interested in switching MTAs for the inevitable suggestions to switch to a different MTA. Far as I know nothing has changed with my Smart Host... (comcast.net) and I haven't changed any sendmail config files. But following along with the smtp conversation with ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107490.html Wed, 14 May 2008 22:28:57 GMT I just ran emerge --depclean and missed that it was going to remove gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r2, the sources for the kernel I'm currently using. Now what I'm not sure about is, do I need the sources, or is the kernel image in /boot sufficient. Do I need to build myself a new working kernel before I reboot again? I can't reemerge 2.6.22-r2 becuase it's no longer available. Thanks Matt -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107486.html Wed, 14 May 2008 20:03:29 GMT Hi, Has emerge --depclean always removed older gentoo-sources or has something changed? I don't remember this operation. Maybe I'm forgetting something I already know on this subject but I'm drawing a blank this afternoon. I'm curious if there is a way to mask package from --depclean removing them. In this case it wants to remove my running kernel tree before I've updated to a newer kernel. Thanks, Mark -- ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107485.html Wed, 14 May 2008 19:10:26 GMT Hi folks, libmad-0.2.1 doens't install libmad.la.

Gentoo-KDE folks were pretty responsive with previous 4.0.x releases updating portage tree etc., but now I can't find much updates on what's happening with 4.0.4. Was it 3.5.9 preparations that took priority? Note: this message is not a nag, it's just my curiosity speaking (well and desire to finally switch to KDE4 as 4.0.3 had some glitches and ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107469.html Wed, 14 May 2008 11:53:00 GMT Hi, I have a lot of masked packages installed on my system. The packages are installed but not unmasked. Is there an easy way to find those packages?

Now I can't even unpack half the man pages. The short of it is that a lot of binaries on my system are linked against gcc 3.4.9, even if I remerge them from scratch. It happened with gcc 4.2.2, I emerged 4.2.3 and it still happens. The most common broken binary is /usr/bin/lzma, which I have remerged several times since the 4.2.3 emerge ... http://readlist.com/lists/gentoo.org/gentoo-user/21/107439.html Tue, 13 May 2008 19:51:30 GMT Hello guys, in which configuration file can I set a nice level for X11?

Its not really apparent what is going on .. looking at the date graph presented here: http://isc.sans.org/port.html?port=1027 Other google hits don't say much about it either. Is it all icq related?
