I've reemerged gnome and it worked

Once added "+kdrive -minimal" flags, I've did the following and it worked. Thanks for your help guys!

I didn't tryed yet (cuz I'm not @home), but I found this page discussing the same bug I'm getting.
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318859

It didn't worked for me. I still having the same issue.
BTW, I'm using an "desktop" profile, not "kde*" or "gnome"

Hi, I know that sabayon-2.28.1 is still masked for most archs, but not for amd64. This is my case.
Before masking it to try emerging Gnome with sabayon-2.25, I'd like to know if someone knows about this problem.
This is what I got from the logs.


checking for gethostbyname... yes

Sorry for not answering earlier.
It was a system-wide messup...
I've emerge -uDN system before having this problem and I was having some package breakages.
I've repaired it now.
Thanks

When I try to start a session from GDM I get this error in xsession-errors

Hello.
xorg-server version is 1.7.xx.
How do I know it is using HAL o udev for detecting & picking up devices?
Thanks in advance

After a few years without working with Gentoo, I found myself in a complication when xorg appears to guess my monitor resolution, when it isn't specified in xorg.conf.
BTW, I can't make work keyboard and mouse in it.
This is what I have in xorg.conf

#Section "ServerLayout"
# Identifier "X.org ...

For some reason, LiveDVD can't start X on my machine, so I have to instlall Gentoo from console. That is not a problem, but I have only one console: Alt+F2 - Alt+F6 was not started.
How can I start the other 5 consoles?
Thanks in advance

Yes, I've tried it. I always revdep-rebuild.
I've also re-emerged bittorrent and wxPython

I don't think so. I've used Evolution for the last 4 years and I'd never seen a feature like that, but I think it would be great if the devs implements it in the close future.

After some emerge --update --deep, I've found that bittorrent GUI isn't working anymore.
scaramanzia@excelsior ~ $ bittorrent

Look up an example very much easier for your day to day

This is your /etc/conf.d/net file
dns_domain_lo="yourdomain"

config_eth0=( "10.0.0.2 broadcast 10.0.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" )

And this is the way ...

I think SMB is more like something like NFS and CUPS together (note that it is not really an implementation of both, but a completely different protocol).
To force a wallpaper yo can make a script which runs every 1 minute (a half of the average windows bootup time, LOL) and detects a host when it ...

Thanx guys.
So, we can say that switches are, not only more efficient, but also more secure than hubs.
Is there any way to get a Switch in "promiscuous mode"? LOL

I have a home LAN, consisting in three computes + NAT'ed router. All conected to a cheap switch.
The doubt came to me when my brother was playing "Mu" (an eye-candy, brain-boring MMORPG) in his windoze box. I noticed that Wireshark wasn't catching such frames.
I know Mu to send/receive a lot of ...

Normally, all apps' docs tells you where it puts those files installed when you "make install".
Read the docs carefully to know this.
In the other hand, keep in mind that most applications installs all files in one of the next two directory hierarchies:
/usr/
/usr/local/
In both cases, for both ...

OK. There is it.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I've runned an "emerge --update --deep --newuse world" after a long time, and I've found I'm unable to watch wmf with mplayer anymore.
I think it is possible that some flag is missing bout i don't have a deep knowledge about video formats.
Does anyone know what I have to do?

Thanx for your advice, but i don't got what you mean exactly with "lock my config down". I'm not very expertized within this field.

I don't know if it is the same problem, but when i was using Rhytmhbox to play music in my last birthday party, it suddenly stopped. I restarted it and later it stopped again. It looks like after some time Rhythmbox fails and stops playing.
This is my case, i don't know if we have different ...

I have found the problem.

I have a NAT'ed router in my home network, and I am thinking about having a small webpage, just for sharing info and some files with my friends. Maybe a blog, some files, some personal info...

Excuse my bad english.
I have a nVidia Riva TNT2/M64. Very old for new drivers, so i need legacy ones.
I've updated to kernel 2.6.23 today and when trying to rebuild my drivers i found that gentoo has changed the some things.
