Thank you for this thread!

Same problem here -- ssh consistently had a 25second delay before connections would succeed.
Like you, I had "UsePam yes" in my sshd config. Flipping it to "no" & restarting sshd resolved the problem.


The system's uptime is 2 months, so it's possible that rebooting ...

In case anyone finds this thread in the future, ebuilds are available in the xmw and jamesbroadhead overlays.

I've just encountered the same problem in chromium and Virtualbox, it's happened after a wine application crashed, reducing my X resolution. Fixed the resolution with xrandr, but the fonts are tiny. I'll post if I can solve short of a restart / restart of X.

Awesome, thanks. Knew that someone here would be able to point it out to me nice and quickly!

Where is the behaviour of PgUp and PgDown in Bash set?* I absolutely love it, and want to port it to my .bashrc so that I can have it in other distros and environments.

You should also bear in mind the power usage of a Pentium-3 machine compared to a modern Atom (or similar) platform.

My Atom-330-based machine effectively paid for itself after a few months, since I was able to switch off the Pentium-4 that it replaced.

I voted for znurt, but I just came across this, which I prefer (image in the top-right)

Ok, I found the problem...forcefsck is working, but aborting the second it hit's any errors. I think the newest util-linux changed the behavior of fsck, so it aborts with the options it's given in the openrc fsck init script.

I'm having trouble where fsck isn't happening at shutdown. I wonder if ...

Does anyone have any suggestions for an address book for me to use? My requirements are the following:
it must be able to read .vcf address books,
it must support at least every single field KAddressBook supported in 4.3,
it must support fully-configurable views (i.e. I should be able to choose ...

I have updated the gentoo-wiki guide - it is now available here:

I just ran into this, here's a slightly more general solution;


$ echo "gtk-icon-theme-name = \"gnome\"" >> ~/.gtkrc-2.0


I seem to have 9 different icon themes installed in /usr/share/icons/ , but in reality only the default and gnome are different (the rest are copies of either one or the ...

Voted: ALL addresses hidden to non-signed in

It's important that there's a strong CAPTCHA for registering as well though.


Perhaps set a time limit on accepting votes?

I just ran into this problem again upgrading hal.

You don't have to re-build glib with -O0. (only hal)

Check out the bug for details

No offence, but generally bugs lead to packages getting masked, or the newer versions coming out of ~arch quicker.

I was having conflicts between 4.5.1 and 4.5.3. I masked all older versions than 4.5.3.

Juist for anyone else who happens by this post -

If you have a ~/.inputrc, readline will ignore /etc/inputrc.

Thus, you lose all your fancy defaults


=> get rid of ~/.inputrc, or copy the contents if /etc/inputrc into it.

Personally, I use:

media-video/devede

which makes the whole process completely simple.

It's an all-gui affair, with minimal knowledge / experience needed.

Well, I have it working, but only with no optimisations:

For posterity:
~ # gcc-config -l

[3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.1 *


CFLAGS="-O0 -march=native -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"

then an emerge -av hal glib


Barely a fix, but it's ...

Sorry für Doppelpost :)
Aber ich habs...

Es liegt an der glib. Scheinbar gehen meine CFLAGS, welche mit GCC 4.3 wunderbar gehen, mit GCC 4.4 nicht mehr richtig mit glib (rest des systems aber schon)

Could you repeat that for me? (Google Translate is confusing me)

Did you emerge -e world using ...

I discovered that I was using gcc-4.1.2, so I'm going to try to switch to 4.3.2 and emerge -e world.

I have already tried re-building hal and glib using gcc-4.3.2, so this is a long shot

Hi -

I don't speak any German, but I think that our problems may be related.

Best of luck!

hal segfaults every time it is started. The instruction pointer is always the same.
