Anyhow, when having problems compiling, show us your flags. The

No idea, but strange things happen in Portage's sandbox.
(By the way, ">&/dev/null" is a pasto? Here it is "&>".)
But have you tried updating the kernel? See the thread on "random
emerge failures". Yours aren't random, but worth trying an update.
And if that doesn't help, how about using a default profile?

Maybe. Have you looked at /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh?
Because here the chown is on line 1880. Portage 2.0.51.19.
Perhaps try reemerging portage?

This all works fine here, in every combination: beep, song, flash. And I can disable all that too.

Only under System Administration most sections have an Administrator Mode button, needed when one wants to change anything there. Then it asks for the root password. All the rest should be changeable as your normal user. Do you still have your ~/.kde3.3 dir lying around? If so, you may want to tar it up somewhere safe, then delete the dir, and restart KDE, just to be sure. That probably won't help anything, so then log out of KDE, move ~/.kde3.4 to a different name for the moment, clean all KDE stuff out of /tmp, and then relogin to KDE. If that brings things back to normal, you may try diffing the old and new .kde3.4 dirs. If it doesn't help, restore your original .kde3.4 dir to get all your settings back.

In such an environment, gvim produces UTF-8 encoded files. Try with 'gvim text', enter just your Ctrl-V 233, save the file, and look at it with 'xxd text'. If it shows c3a9, it's UTF-8.

Probably mutt will then determine itself which characterset any message you produce uses and automatically convert to the lowest one possible.

You did 'mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc' before chrooting, which gives you the proc of the running kernel. But it matters not. The zcat command just saves a default config, in case no kernel was ever configured yet. Your previous runs of genkernel saved the config to /etc/kernels/, and that config gets automatically reused when it exists. So the config should be okay, _if it was always _that kernel that you booted, and not just the kernel that you _thought you booted. It might be worth trying to overwrite your custom config in /etc/kernels/ (after copying it to a safe place) with the contents of /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-conf-2.6, recompiling and reinstalling the kernel, and trying to boot with that. Anyway, googling around seems to say that the following error is definitely some kernel configuration problem: > Block dev sda3 is not a valid root device > The root block device is unspecified or not detected.

Open a copy of your emerge.log in vim and do: :%s/\*\*\*// After that KWrite will handle the file without a problem. As to why, I can only guess: when the stars are still there, KWrite shows folding markers, so it sees the file as some kind of code and tries to "format" it, arrange it in paragraphs, and sometime searches the entire file in vain for some matching paragraph-closing element.

If you want the VT behaviour also in X, then alias less to 'TERM=linux less'. (There's probably a better way, but this works.) Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Have a look at /etc/inputrc. To test, comment out all lines in that file, fire up a new bash, and see if the problem persists. If not, find the offending line.

Is it only at certain positions (like the second key on a new line)? Does it also happen in another shell than bash (for example in 'busybox ash')? Does it also happen in 'env -i bash --noprofile --norc'? Does it happen in single-user maintenaince mode? Does it happen when running from a liveCD? Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Which version of bash are you using? You're running stable so it should be 3.1. But I would have thought that the problem you're seeing is caused by 3.2. If you're using 3.2, then simply try setting PS1="\h \W \$ " and see if the problem is gone. If so, downgrade to bash-3.1 and wait for 3.2 to get fixed. > > Does it happen in single-user maintenaince mode? > > I'm embarrased to admit I don't know how to get to that. Stop GRUB when in its booting menu, then type E to temporarily change the line that boots Gentoo, type a space and a 1 at the end, and then boot that line. You have to fiddle a bit, needing to type E twice, then add " 1", then Escape, then B -- I don't remember exactly. See http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Booting_into_single_user_mode for more info. But you don't need to do this as you've already found that the problem is in bash and it's related to something in the environment. If the PS1 didn't fix it, try with either just --norc or just --noprofile to try and narrow things down further. Benno -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

How about pasting the actual error output plus some twenty lines
before it? And what are those projects? You mean packages?
> I've look at permission on / and they look normal to me.
How about pasting the used ls command and its output? How is anyone
to diagnose your problem when you're not showing any hard data?
And while at it, paste the output of emerge --info too.

Those are found in /var/log/kernel.log. Or in the output of 'dmesg'. When asking a question, provide actual output.

Measure the horizontal and vertical size of your screen or monitor in millimeters, then set in your xorg.conf, in Section "Monitor", the display size, for example:DisplaySize 320 240 Then restart X.

That is what your .fonts.conf specifies, however. Try this as your .fonts.conf file, and if it's better, copy the relevant stuff to your original .fonts.conf. true hintmedium ~/.fonts none true PS: Try using a blank line after a piece of quoted mail; it makes it easier to distinguish quotes and replies.

But if you can't handle the problems this might give, then you shouldn't be using unstable. Try commenting out all xfce lines in /etc/portage/package.keywords, re-update your system and see if that solves the problem. If so, then figure out which of the xfce updates causes the problem.
