I am sorry that noone answered. Maybe I asked the question in a wrong way. I noticed also that if I close and restart evolution after some time antilaiasing is present. I think that the problem is that the gconf daemon must be started before the evolution is started. Otherwise, like it happens in my ...

Hi all! I've been happily using xgl for some weeks now. I just noticed one problem (or feature, maybe I don't understand it). Sometimes when I click on a window, the focus is passed to a window beneath it, and not to the window itself. Is this intentional or a bug? Is there a way to tweak this ...

Hello everybody! I managed to get xgl running thanks to the gentoo wiki howto (amazing), and I only have a few questions about usage. Please bear with me. Thank you. My questions are:

1) Is there a way to change desktops only with the keyboard bindings and disable the mouse gestures completely? As ...

Hi all! I have the following problem, maybe someone can help me. I have kde installed, but for email I use evolution. Because of this I installed gconf, gconf-editor, etc. (I also use xgl and compiz, so I have to usee gconf for configuration). This is the problem: even if in the gconf-editor panel I ...

I solved the problem! :D

I actually discovered that X is killed at an advanced stage of the reboot/shutdown procedure. So, stopping gpm after X didn't work. I noticed that as soon as /sbin/reboot or /sbin/halt were executed, the screen would switch to the shutdown bootsplash and the mouse problem ...

Please ignore the PS end of my preceding email. I figured it out. It seems that on my system local is the last service to be started. I put the gpm stop there as you suggested, but it's already too late. I tried with the other trick you suggested, but with no effect. It seems that the correct moment ...

Why are you rebooting? That's not what linux is made for!


:P That is the funniest thing I have ever heard!

Thank you for your help! Actually my idea was exactly that, changing the order in the rc script. However, I don't know how to do it? Is there a direct way to do it? Or are the method you ...

Thank you for this last tip. This solved the problem. Actually I didn't exaclty need the KDE sound set. I just wanted to use the default sounds to see if everything was working correctly. So it seems it was a use flag problem. I have to say that I actualy had the ogg use flag in my make.conf:

euse ...

Hi all! I've made another discovery. Actually kde produces some sound when the sound files that I use are in wav format. The ones in ogg format do not work. So, the problem seems to be that the ogg vorbis plugin for arts is missing. Anyone knows which package should I install or how do I get ogg ...

I found the sound files. They are in /usr/kde/3.5/share/sounds, while the system looks for them in /usr/share/sounds. Is there any alternative to changing manually all the file paths in the control center? Also, do you think that this is a bug and should be filed as such? Thank you again for all ...

Dear all, I seem to have found where the problem lies. When I go to the kde notifications panel in control center and start to browse under the play a sound entry, I notice that there are no kde sound files at all. Only the k3b sound effects are there. So, it seems that I am missing a package. Does ...

Hello all! Here I am! I tried the above solution. First of all, I think you mean /etc/init.d/*gpm* and not *gdm*, right? However, it's still not turned off fast enough and the framebuffer splash gets overwritten, even if only for a few seconds! Thank you anyway!

Hello everyone, it's me again. I got back to my machine and woul like to ask you if there is a kde utility that I can launch from the command line and that I uses arts through kde (like some notification tool, for example). Given that the problem might be linking error, my idea is to see if I can ...

Thank you! I'll have again access to my machine in 2 days and I'll try that out! I'll let you know if it worked! Thank you again!

Thans to everyone for all the help. I configured amarok to use arts and it works perfectly. I even launched skype with an artsd wrapper and everything works very fine. So arts seems to be working wonderfully. The KDE version I am using is 3.5.2. I agree with you that this seems a linking problem ...

Thanks! Since I used both the alsa and oss flag to enable oss emulation, every entry in the control panel works without error (even the oss entries). But still no sound. Is the control panel used to configure arts itself or should I see an arts entry in the control panel hardware pull-down menu (the ...

Good day everyone!

I am trying to find a way to fix this problem. During the shutdown and reboot sequence, the console mouse (gpm) cursor writes over the console background bootsplash image, leaving a snale-like trail of black squares. Is there a way to avoid it? The most obvious seems to be to ...

Good day everyone!

I have a problem with the sound in my gentoo distribution.

I emerged kde and alsa using the alsa-driver method.
Later I emerged arts and did an emerge --newuse world which went fine.

Now arts works very fine with every application (amarok, skype for example).
But kde has no ...

Sorry I am away from my home pc for 3-4 days. I'll get back to it ASAP

Thank you

Valerio

the problem seems to be ghostscript. Actually when I type in directly the gs command line, the command just keeps executing without even finishing, and the machine just hangs there. Anyone has any idea?

Thank you

Valerio

I created the link to the foomatic-rip files. Now it still doesn't print but the job stays in processing queue
