I started noticing this a while ago, I think with the update right around January. It happens on both my desktop and my laptop which have similar gentoo installs.

The right click menu takes like two seconds to display. It used to be instantaneous. If you put a menu item in the panel it'll start ...

Reinstalling XML-NamespaceSupport worked.

Thanks~

I'm getting all these errors with perl when trying to update world. I did some research and it seems like I need to install a couple perl packages but the packages are failing even though portage is reporting that they installed just fine. The only message it spits out is, Update Parser: add XML ...

I have names for my computers but whenever I ssh I always have to use the full IP address. If I try to run say ssh tux I get an error, ssh: Could not resolve hostname tux: Name or service not known I know of a couple solutions to this and they mostly involve static IP addresses and modifying your ...

I guess I'll just do it by IP then... I'm pretty sure you can do it that way.

I'm trying to set up sshd so you have to already have the public key in order to log in, ie the server wont send it to you even if you ask. I found this setting PubkeyAuthentication but it still sends the public key even if you set it to no. How exactly do you turn that off?

Downgrading make fixes the problem. You can update make after that

Same problem here. There's a bug report that's been open for over a month now:

I cant find any useful messages in dmesg.

It happens after I transfer lots of data across the network. It seems like dns stops working.

Is there any way to get an rss reader to auto-fetch webpages and search within those webpages instead of just the rss feed?

Mounting using sshfs seems to kill the Internet on both the host and server computer. Current connections stay open, like bittorrent traffic seems to keep going, but it essentially kills the Internet - like opening new websites :/

It happens right when I mount one folder even before transferring ...

Hello,

You can try this: CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=native -mtune=native"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
This will enable all features detected by GCC for your ancient / newest CPU. Wow, thank you! I know it didn't exactly answer OP's question but it is pretty nifty! This should be in a ...

I updated sandbox from version like 1.6 to 2.2 and that seems to have fixed it :)

I've been getting this errors for a while now... it happens on a number of packages. >>> Preparing source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-python/sip-4.10/work/sip-4.10 ...

I already had VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" in my make.conf. Thanks for the suggestion though. Things work a lot better when you let portage handle everything.

I got everything sorted out. Had to remove a few extra packages besides qt to get everything to update. My main problem is that I didn't do a full update in over a year; it was always easier to update individual apps instead of the whole system. I finally got around to it though .

Well X doesn't wrok so I'm posting from links. That's why I didn't include a very long error message. I'm getting a bunch of version mismatch errors as well but I think those will go away if I can update my system.

--unstall did work though. I tried looking for an option like that using -h but ...

At one point in time my motherboard's built in network card was only supported by the git sources. Because I was using git sources, gentoo's built in nvidia-drivers never worked so I always had to get special hacks to get it working (which portage had a tendency to break whenever I did a full system ...

How do you make applications use libdvdcss? Primarily I want xine and xdvdshrink to use that library.

news-gentoo.skip and news-gentoo.unread

When I cat those files I see (in both of them): 2009-07-12-xorg74-alpha.
