For those people that are only now trying to apply Stephen Warren's patch, I had to insert the following line above the "epatch" line in the ebuild to get the patch to apply:

I solved it. Had an improper PATH in one of my shell scripts. See the comment at http://www.held.org.il/blog/2011/02/sol ... n-problem/

I'm in the middle of doing a big upgrade on my system. Almost all packages are updated, so it's time to try gnome 3.2.

When I boot the laptop into gdm, and login as my user, gdm switches out, seemingly to start gnome, but then returns. I never see gnome.
If I login as root, gnome does start up ...

I'm not at all knowledgeable about this, but for some reason I had package masked 2.60b in favor of 2.60 because of "getting a signal 11" a long tiem ago. Might wanna try that.

Thanks, it's really cool! Though nobody in the linux world ever seems to finish a music player (referring to banshee, exaile, rhythmbox and many other goners).

0.1 is out in the meantime, you might want to update. Also, don't you have a layman overlay yet?

I'm still exploring it. How do I control ...

What alternatives do you use to make up for the missing udept?

I was mostly using dep -L and dep -l to analyse the (reverse) dependencies.

Unfortunately I update my laptop far too infrequently and so only find out about these deprecations a year or years after date. I'm gonna shed a tear :cry ...

You can use the same solution as with nautilus-root:
I still think this is pretty shitty. I've always used meld in etc-update as root, and it just now stopped working. Some gnome dev should make multiple users in gnome pervasive.

@VoidMage The reason why pastebin is not a good idea either, is that if months later you lookup this thread to see what the problem was, if it is what you're running into, and how it was solved, that then pastebin by then already has deleted whatever you put on it. >-|

Ebuild installs properly and perfectly. I just get a black camera screen (which isn't all that surprising given the state of webcams on linux) in the Gmail settings. Audio works. No such errors in terminal.

"It looks as though this issue has come down to the use of the "small theme" in GIMP. "

"calc": selected areas are not highlighted properly.

How about this? Is this a feature or a bug? How to turn it on (you can turn off the border highlighting but not turn on the fields highlighting)?

I updated to OOo 3.0.0 (source build) today. It runs on par with any *.0.0 release as far as I can tell. I've seen it crash some and I can point out 5 trivial bugs already. But overall it's very decent and worth your compiling time. I was expecting a lot worse. I only expect an extremely stable ...

The difference of app-office/openoffice (non-bin) used to be that it was an adapted version by ximian. This meant it had custom icons and a better gnome integration. At the time (talking years back here) it surely was worthwhile. Apart from this surely some other perks I can't remember currently ...

Reminds me of Ximian's old RedCarpet. Ok as an ad-hoc solution but not my preference.

Do I understand correctly that no real information has been lost, only the wiki configs? Please reassure me. That would be terrible, all this effort... All those hours of work and such a large amount of knowledge... Maybe Gentoo should step forward at this point (I know they've always said the wiki ...

There is a similar thread in Dutch: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php? ... 54#4749554 And there is a (by this time slightly old) ebuild on bugs.gentoo.org. Just crossreferencing.

I had the same problem once long time ago, can't remember how I solved it: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-325233-highlight-.html
In general you should click through a couple of times, I have a howto somewhere concerning deadkeys that may also be helpful.

EDIT: Oops, failed to see this thread ...

I couldn't succeed in doing something like 'emerge -p <package> | update-world'. By the way, in the first post, in the green code text you forgot '-p'.

I was trying:
emerge -p coreutils | update-world.sh

Your script says:
No arguments supplied. If you're piping from the emerge command (emerge ...

Heh, that was quick. I was looking in the wrong direction.

The culprit is the "managed" option, that you had also and that I must have added when restoring the backup. Remove it (only that word) in your fstab and it's solved.

Thanks for the insight!

When I insert any (data) cdrom/cdr I get an error popup in gnome saying:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda,

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

I should however get a successful automount here. When I try ...

I had a different error on gimp startup that seems to be glibc related:

Congrats for making your own solution but if everyone needs to start these things just to make a catalog of DVDs, then where is the world going? I feel like we had a finished program, in which some programmer invested a lot of time, but that was "taken away" from us without a reason. People start ...

Als ik tijd (en m'n oude smartcardlezer) vind dan zal ik er eens naar kijken.

Yeah, I know all about it: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-59 ... ight-.html

Have you actually even looked on the forum??
