Try a "killall nautilus" as root and then start nautilux as your user.

If this fails... logout. Switch to a console (ctrl+alt+f1) and login as root. Stop xdm (/etc/init.d/xdm stop). Run bonobo-slay. Then restart xdm and login to see if it is fixed.

it works also in the framebuffer

That fits under the category "cool stuff I wish I had known". Thanks hybrid!

You can do updates which handles it for you. Try "emerge -uDav world". You should really read the emerge man page too.

I'm really interested in learning more about this problem as I have a number of machines duel booting. If you find a solution or cause please post it! I did some searching and while I have not found a solution here are some links that may be helpful:

About the Windows MBR.
Someone else with your ...

Are there any good alternatives to xscreensaver?

If I'm not mistaking X.org has lots of the old XF86 devs on, is more updated and
maybe most importantly, is free (as far as I know).
XFree86 is free too.

Xorg forked off Xfree, it's being more actively developed and improved, and it uses a better license. There's no reason not to use it.

Ya ...

imho, i find it best to build drivers for devices you know you need at boot time directly into the kernel, or use the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file to load the modules, and not even bothering to have coldplug at all. :wink:

For what its worth I second this :). If your going to have the ...

I have a similar partitioning scheme on my laptop (Compaq v2000) with the Windows XP sp2 partition on hda1 without problems, so I don't think this is your problem. Have you reinstalled Windows after Grub install?

I would see what windows is running at startup and if you run any third party software ...

Sorry my reply took so long, I went to sleep.

Ok, putting ">=gnome-base/gnome-2.8.1" in /etc/portage/package.mask didn't seem to work at first, then I realized that I was doing an emerge with 'deep'. Doing just a "emerge -upv" shows that gnome is not listed anymore. Since --deep is supposed to ...

To clarify, you want to convert a text document to a text document of ascii codes?

This seems to be a duplicate post from one in "Installing Gentoo".

Did you format /boot? Delete the old kernel? There is an option in the kernel (2.6.x at least) that allows you to "embed" the config data in the kernel so you can get it back out later. Or might you have the old .config file backed up?

I know what I've said is obvious stuff and if you had an old ...

*edit In 5 minutes it took to type this I was beat to it :lol:

Any netwok settings that you will need to do should be the same as those you do during install. The things I know you should check just off the top of my head:

1. Make sure your kernel is configured for your network hardware. (module ...

I just did an 'emerge sync' and 'emerge -uDav' and as is the norm there is a huge list of things to update :) I would like to go ahead and update everything except the gnome-2.8.1 stuff. So my question is, can I tell portage to 'lock' packages at a specific version so they don't get updated? Perhaps ...

Lol, I´ĺl skip the cvs on this one and wait for a final, we´ve waited a lifetime allready, a few more months will seem like nothing ;)
A few more months? It'll be longer than that. Someone earlier joked about 2006. I bet we don't see a release candidate before that.

Nothing against Raster and ...

So I guess I'm just saying YMMV :roll:

I then guess it'll take me between a little more than a short while and a little bit less than an eternity ;)

lol. It took me several hours to get things right the first time. If you can isolate the exact conflict there is probably already a thread or two ...

sorry i can't help but i have to give you a little bit of advice here. when it comes to serious problems people here know jack****. they only thing they do know is how to get xine to play or at the most get a wrapper to work for there wireless card.

Thought I'd just make an observasion, it seems ...

The problem you're having could be only with the kernel sources you're using, you might want to try one of the experimentals, i.e. nitro, mm, ck, love, something. You can TRY to boot to the kernel from the live cd, but that's likely going to present a number of problems, and you can't test ...

Almost? Yeah, like CND is almost USD :-/

P-M is a lot closer to P3 though.

I second this. There are several good posts about comiling for pentium-m's. A quick read on the pentium-m arch will tell you that it is derived from the Pentium III line. You have to be using gcc 3.4 to compile with ...

I have Gentoo installed on my Compaq V2000. I'm running on a 2.6.9 kernel and have software suspend working nicely (back to work in under 20 sec). I have not actually 'rebooted' it in quite some time. Wireless works great with ipw2200 (not fully mature). The 1.7 mhz pentium-m is much faster than ...

boo! bring back etcat!

:lol:

i don't know why, but i can't stand equery. the only thing i use it for is to find a particular ebuild. equery which foo . for USE stuff i use euse , and everything else is a combination of dep and genlop.

if equery had the versions function that etcat does, then ...

It's been awhile since I used windows but I was almost sure you could set it to use UTC as well. So I did some searching and found this gem that explains the problem. http://weblogs.asp.net/oldnewthing/archive/2004/09/02/224672.aspx . Every time someone asks me why I don't use windows any longer I ...

Equery seems to be a better tool (at least more intuitive), Now if features like glsa are just implemented...

Well if you want some bedside reading, I found that this Linux Security HOWTO does a good job of outlining security considerations and providing some practical solutions. http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Security-HOWTO.html but it really does take a lot of work ...

As suggested above you should disallow all access first and then expicitly state what will be allowed. Here's what I have in my iptables script:

# All packets that are not explicitly accepted should be dropped.
/bin/echo -e ' [Dropping] All packets not explicitly accepted'
/sbin/iptables -P INPUT ...
