My vlc player plays everything fine, but it always gives me the following error when I launch it:

I found out the problem. I had configured the kernel incorrectly, I needed to enable Direct Rendering Manager and Radeon modesetting, after that full screen started to work.

Both systems are 32bit, so that should not be the problem. I also checked the adobe-flash versions and they are exactly the same on ubuntu and gentoo (10.2.152.27). I also tried nspluginwrapper and it made absolutely no difference, the result was as bad as before.

I installed gkrellm, but I'm ...

Adobe flash player lags on full screen, so that it is impossible to watch a video. Other players show fullscreen correctly. Someone told me about 2 months ago, that it is a problem with missing flashplayer support of graphics accelaration for linux and there is nothing I can do to fix the problem ...

nl80211 wext compatibility is enabled in kernel configs and I also have net-wireless/iw installed, but the problem remains.

How did you upgrade the kernel?
I upgraded it manually, without genkernel.

emerge wpa_supplicant, follow the guides et the gentoo wiki to set it up.
It should put it in order or point you to the kernel fault.
I already have wpa_supplicant and it is also set up correctly and working. Anyway, I ...

I upgraded from kernel 2.6.34-r1 to 2.6.35-r4. After that aircrack-ng doesn't work. It says, that wlan0 is fixed on channel -1 and I can't change that channel. Because of it dumping of data does not work correctly and aireplay-ng does nothing at all.

I use Atheros5007EG wireless device and ath5k ...

I installed an older wireshark release (1.0.15) and it works great. I have no idea why the new version doesn't work.

Non of my files are 136MB, they are max 10MB, smaller ones 3MB.
I have x86.

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed"

Yes, I have recompiled wireshark and libpcap numerous times both with same flags and with different flags.

I have tried rebuilding wireshark and libpcap many times
Now I tried to rebuild without pcap USE flag, but the problem remains exactly the same.

emerge -pv wireshark
Calculating dependencies... done!

I used gdb debugger for some additional information.

When trying to open .pcap, it gives me:

Does it exit on when you try to open any .pcap file?
Yes, it crashes when I try to open any .pcap file. I have tried many different files. Actually I even tested the files with wireshark on Ubuntu, the files are definitely OK.

Try launching it from a terminal to see if it prints any errors ...

Hello!
I have a strange problem. A week ago I installed wireshark and everything worked well. Then, for some pointless reasons, I reinstalled it. After that it is not able to open .pcap files. When I try to open them, wireshark just exits. I have tried to reinstall it again, but the problem remains ...

I tried it and unfortunately it didn't work.

I am actually beginning to think, that it may be application specific, as now I have only one problematic program. The other one's icon just "appeared" at some moment. I really don't have an idea how, but it did. On the other hand, almost all visual ...

I reinstalled gksu and it helped.
Thanks

However, one thing was weird, I rebooted and after that nothing worked. It started working only a few reboots later. weird...

After switching from KDE to Gnome, I noticed, that some icons were missing. In gnome menu, k3b icon is missing. I checked, k3b.desktop contains Icon=k3b and the file does exists. In panel, there is a blank space, where kmess icon should be. Again, the icon file definitely exists. All other icons are ...

I unmerged meta-package and replaced it with kdebase-startkde. Although it has much less pointless packages, it still annoys me, that I can't remove the packages I don't like.

I already tried it. The problem is, that next time emerge --depclean wants to remove 174 packages.

I installed kde-meta. Is it possible to unmerge packages without replacing it?

I unmerged some individual packages, that I do not need. KDE came with lots of programs I want to get rid of. For example, I do not want to use konqueror, but when I unmerged it, I got errors from emerge --depclean. It seems, that the program is linked to kdebase-meta. How can I get rid of it ...
