Reemerged pidgin countless times, as running revdep-rebuild. Reemerged gtk+ also.
Now I'm starting an emerge -e pidgin, 290 packages in queue. Tomorrow I'll post the results.

Hi all. I have a very annoying problem with pidgin.
When I start it, and connect with only one yahoo account, it works fine.
After I connect with my gmail account too, it crashes while updating buddy status.
I started it up with gdb and I get this: 0xb2ce6a26 in jpeg_save_markers () from /usr/lib ...

I have a very annoying problem with my sound setup. Most of the programs work fine, like amarok, nexuiz, flash plugin, etc.
But when I try to use Skype or Wine, the process hangs and when running dmesg I get this message:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address ...

I have a bit of a problem. I have this configuration:

MB: Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe (with Sata controller Silicon Image 3112)
HDD: WD 1600JS


Can anybody tell me some performance values for this configuration? With kernel 2.6.20 I get values round 200MB for cached reads an 40MB for buffered disk reads ...

Thanks, xces. The obvious advantage with this useflag would be to enable most of the useflags and disable the unneeded extensions in php.ini and enable them in case of future need.

But would not be a good idea to create for php a php-meta package as in case of kde that pulls in the activated ...

Is there a way to compile php with dynamic extensions instead of builtin like it is on Debian? I hate to compile all php just because I need soap, crypt or another extension.
Thanks in advance.

No, you have to associate to that class packets by some rule, whether it is the source ip, the port number, or the mark of the packets.

The workflow is mainly this: first, you mark the packets that you want to limit the speed for with iptables, then you use the filter option from tc to associate those packets with a class that you created in advance, hence the flowid option in the filter syntax.

I have only one question: are you sure your vhosts flag is set?

What model of monitor is? Brand. diagonal, max refresh...
You could try in a console : There, go to monitor section and choose one appropriate to the specs of your monitor.
Then, save xorg.conf and restart X server.

Try and remove/comment all FontPath entries in the "Files" Section.
fontconfig should do all the work instead of those lines.

Read my previous post carefully. I said "create .xinitrc file and put exec startkde" in it on one line. After that, execute startx to start X server.
Better, execute these in a console:

To start kde after login, create in you home directory a file called where you put this line and start X with the same command, startx.

What do you use to create the htb classes?
I would recommend you to emerge net-misc/htbinit. When installed, it has a lot of examples.
To classify traffic, I recommend a combination of iptables and htb, using iptables to mark the packets, and use the MARK rule in htb config files.

Hello. See if the regular user is in the plugdev group. If not, relogin and try again.

1. What method do you use to start X?
2. Is your system updated recently?

Hi. I had until 1 month ago an ati card. I noticed the same slow startup especially in kde, the tray apps took ages to load. I though it was my configuration or i did something wrong when i compiled the kde packages. Guess what? After I changed that ati card with a gf 6600, right after installing ...

There is something more to try:

Execute gcc-config -l .
If you still have the old gcc around, it should print a list containing the old version and the new version you compiled, and if you have a star beside the old version, that one is still in use. If that is the case, do gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-<your version> to select ...

Hi.
First, what version are you using and second, are there other versions in portage?
I currently have v 0.7.1 and v 0.7.2 in portage. There is a chance that you have the same versions. If this does not work, re-emerge libtorrent, the same version or an older one.

Sabayon 3.3 released. Today I got it from a mirror and burned it on a DVD, the next minute, rebooting the PC and booting with the fresh DVD. 3.1 GB of software. A lot of options at boot time. I chose the default entry.
Then it started booting, and in the process it detected the sound card ...

That line does not refer to a 'Daron' as you well know. It's a preprocessor define and it's here because of these lines in the ebuild file:

Sorry, I was hasty. The solution worked only for my home Gentoo install. At work, I recompiled it again TWICE, but it still doesn't work. Look what about:buildconfig shows:

I found the solution for this problem. I've done a bit of a search on the internet, and I found this link:

Then all was clear! I had to enable mozdevelop USE flag, so firefox can be built with developer ...
