I had some troubles with my Myth box recently. I have upgraded to 2.6.15 and was able to compile ivtv 4.2 driver and get it working correctly. I noticed lord_ph mentioned having trouble.. As I understand it you require 4.2 or better on 2.6.15.

The init script to launch mythbackend has been changed ...

I ended up recompiling the kernel (suspend2-sources-2.6.15-r6) , it is preemptible, and everything else went ok... Whatever caused it was in a recent upgrade, but I had some odd things regarding alsa drivers so I think something happened there but I can't be sure... Been running a few days now ...

I'm having the same problem with mplayer and mythtv.... I'm using the nvidia drivers.. Not sure what's causing it.

I've been making use of the package.keywords rather than ACCEPT_KEYWORDS. But I generally have always stayed away from making heavy use of it so it hasn't cause me any problems yet.....! As andrewd18 says, you're probably better of adding it to package.keywords...

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge hibernate-script

should do the trick.. You could also add 'sys-apps/hibernate-script' to '/etc/portage/package.keywords' and you won't need the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86".

Well I patched the vanilla kernel and everything seems to be working well. Next step is to upgrade the kernel on my MythTV box and get things working on that.

Wondering if anyone has successfully applied the swsusp2 patch to 2.6.10-gentoo-r6. Are there any kernels that have the patch in it? If not I'll have to patch a vanilla kernel and try it at least before I worry to much about what kernel I'm running...

Fixed my network problem by using Custom network connection and selecting the /dev/vmnet that is bridged to my internal network.

I'm having trouble getting the networking to work with vmware since upgrading my kernel to 2.6.9. Was using a 2.4 kernel prior.. Using vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r1....

Thanks for the ebuild scripts Henning and the tip about using autoconf 2.59! I was able to build digiikam 6.1 using your ebuild no problem without updating autoconf from 2.58, but the plugins failed to build until I updated.

i had to kill the "bonobo-activati..." process and evolution started without any problems

This solved my problem... I did remerge Evolution prior to this as well without success.... :D

Greg

Well I'm getting the same problem.... =_(

It would be nice if they used modules rather than patching. Wonder if they ever plan to do that given they have been using patches for so long now. The kernel patch is the only reason I tend to stay away from win4lin. But dispite that I am looking to try it but I can't get a kernel from gs sources ...

The network cards are different. Thanks a lot for the information!

Greg

I've had two network cards in my machine for well over a year without trouble. Since my last update which included the baselayout my cards have swapped eth0 became eth1 and eth1->eth0. This cause my internet connection fail and I spend a while trying to figure out what is wrong until I ran 'dhcp ...

Well you are not alone.. Did two rsyncs on different servers to see if one was bad? Reguardless the problem persists. For now I just plan to wait it out but figured I'd comment so you did not think that you were the only one... =_)

Greg

Well I've had no luck getting evolution (1.2.4) to use my imap (courier-imap) server's inbox as it's inbox. I found the settings to set the inbox folder but it has no effect??? I tried some other folders on the imap server with out success as well..

Greg

Well evolution still bombs on the mail. Looking at getting my mbox's to kmail now.

Well 1.3.2 merged but fails to run get the error:

(evolution-1.3:14978): evolution-shell-CRITICAL **: file evolution-storage.c: line 1064 (evolution_storage_new_folder): assertion `physical_uri != NULL' failed
warning: failed to load external entity

Guess I need a cvs of gal according to this ...

Well I figure I might as well try emerging evolution 1.3.2 and see if that well work for me... 1.2.3 is dead so what the heck.

Yesterday I upgraded xfree successfully and for the most part everything went ok. I then remerged evolution in an attempt to get the spell check working again (borked a while back) and now the mail component crashes when trying to view compose messages, even the preferences section causes the mail ...

I had the exact same problem until I moved the arial.ttf file from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/ to somewhere else (/tmp in my case) to get it out of that directory and restarted KDE and everything was fine.

I discovered this because mozilla and phoenix would not start (as well as the kde ...

So that's what was happening.. Never really looked into the problem because it wasn't affecting me much as there isn't much use of the computer other than myself. But I have the same trouble here.... Wish I had some idea what is going on, but I figured I'd mention that it happens here to....

Greg

Well I emerged nvtv and I have the option dualview checked off but the screen goes blank when I activate the TV out. Odd thing is when I deactivate the TVout half my screen stays blank... Wondering if the newest nvidia driver, that is currently masked, will enable dualview?

I've emerged lirc-0.6.6-r1 with a winfast2000XP deluxe card. I have not problems with the card but I haven't had any luck with the remote. When I run the irrecord program I get:
