Re-emerging gnome-session did not work.

From another thread on a very similar problem. I'll try this tonight, see if it helps.

ditto, except Gnome/gdm as the display manager.

Things were working fine, and have for several years on my Gentoo box. Then last weekend I updated the system, first time this year (an unusual delay as I ...

Another possibility is that, if init processes are started as 'daemon' user, this user is now lacking some group membership. Once I log in to console mode, starting '/etc/init.d/xdm' as root does work.

This is rather annoying.

ditto, except Gnome/gdm as the display manager.

Things were working fine, and have for several years on my Gentoo box. Then last weekend I updated the system, first time this year (an unusual delay as I normally update weekly) -- the usual; sync, emerge, etc-update, revdep, rinse&repeat.

I had to ...

Same thing here it seems.

First full update of the system this year, and now X/Gnome appears to die on startup.

Added 'consolekit' to 'default' run level as recommended in other threads, but since 'xdm' uses 'consolekit', I assume that this would be started anyway.

Symptoms:

Following boot, the ...

I have used pan for years without this problem, but a few months ago I started seeing the symptoms described above. The top of the image is okay, the rest is either black, or a corruption of a previous image (not clearing buffers?). This doesn't happen with all images, and _may_ not be limited to ...

I've had the "PASS_MIN_LEN" things for a while now. I just upped my system to gcc 4.x, so spent a few days rebuilding everything, and it didn't go away. I also tried re-emerging shadow, to no effect.

I just commented out the 'PASS_MIN_LEN 5' entry in '/etc/login.defs', which solved the issue for me ...

This is also where I am now stuck. Everything else (not dependant on gnome-pilot) has been rebuilt against the new expat libraries (leaving evolution).

From capplet/util.c, global variable 'synctypes' is declared: static const char *synctypes[] = {_("Use conduit settings"), ... So it is setting a ...

...and the same here.

STLPort is version 5.1.0, and I don't see any odd symlinks under /usr/include (previously reported as causing problems).

(On dual althon-mp btw)

Anyway, I'd have been spared a lot of trouble had I known this document existed.

I've just followed that document and automount is now working for the first time in ages! I once again have my IPOD and USBDISK as icons on the desktop. :D

Previously, problems had started with having to use some ...

Ditto. Just got to the same point upgrading to gcc 3.4.4 using revdep-rebuild.

(bump)

Same situation as original poster here -- dual display, but Firefox only started on one display. *Very* irritating.

Tried invoking 'firefox -display $DISPLAY' from the second display (with firefox running on the first). This gets me to the mozilla profile dialog, since profile 'default' is ...

Just got a failure with 'mozilla-1.7.11' during 'emerge -uD world'.

The error reported from g++:

nsURILoader.cpp:68:34: nsIDOMWindowInternal.h: No such file or directory


The command line issued:

gmake[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7.11/work/mozilla/uriloader/base ...

The same subject, but from the opposite (?) perspective...

I was quite happy with gkrellm sitting in the bottom-left of the screen, transparent, and behind other windows. It did not use to affect the screen boundary for maximizing and icon placement.

However, following a regular sync/emerge world ...

Similar problem with my EPSON Stylus C40UX (usb) and 'gimp-print-ijs' (sp?) driver.

Running foomatic-config results in a perl script error (reported in another thread). I have configured the printer using gnome-cups-manager, but the test page results in the top third of the page being black, the ...

Same with "Epson-Stylus_C40UX" with "gimp-print-ijs".

Errors are different when I repeat the foomatic-config command:

Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Foomatic/DB.pm line 3596.

Do you overclock ?
Kernel compiled with an unstable compiler (:wink: to last post) ?
Your cooler is in good contact with the surface of the CPU ?
Have you tried to go back to vanilla-sources, or a 2.4 kernel ?


No overclocking.

I haven't changed the compiler from the default Gentoo one.

I ...

Similar problem here.

I have been building up a system recently, starting from 2004.3, with most partitions reiserfs (3.6? not version 4) (/boot is ext2). Original kernel was 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 (SMP, dual Athlon MP). A while ago upgraded to -r6. I have build a number of kernels around this release ...

I had similar issue yesterday, which is still unresolved.

Gentoo 2.6.10-r6 has been running happily on my system for nearly a week (after m/b replacement). I had got nearly everything working smoothly (notably mga_vid, and pwc -- webcam better than I ever got it to work on XP!). I even had my ...

Try resizing the browser just slightly.


Resizing, minimize & restore, maximize, flipping desktops... Didn´t help.

Noticed when the page with the embedded video first loads, there is a flash in the top-right of the screen (possibly top-right of the desktop area, sans Gnome panels), which looks ...

I emerged mplayerplug-in the other night, to a system I have been building up. I had just got mplayer itself to work (with mga_vid).

The MPlayer plugin placeholder appears in Firefox, and shows the download/buffering progress. However, when the playback starts I get the sound, but no video :?:

I ...

I have just got fbsplash to work on my 2.6.10 kernel with matroxfb (G400), after several kernel rebuilds and reboots. This is a clean installation from Gentoo 2004.3.

This posting summerises a number of issues I have come up against:

1. Corrupt mouse curor when returning to X from an virtual ...

Using JDK 1.5, you need to get '-source 1.4' into the javac arguments, to compile pre-Java5 code.

Either an envar, or the equivalent of 'CFLAGS' ('JFLAGS'?) maybe? This is really an issue for the project to specify rather than a global setting though.

I'm currently building my first (full) gentoo ...
