Add something like this to the exclude-list:
/dev/*
/var/run/*

That'll copy the dir itself, but not its contents.

This is most likely caused by the FAT filesystem on the target device.

Hello,
I don't have any specific idea, but try recompiling Firefox without any
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS set. Using another Flash implementation (Gnash/Adobe)
might solve the problem too (or introduce new problems:). Also try
cleaning up your Firefox profile (in terms of add-ons, most
importantly).

Hi Liviu,
it seems you're only allowed to access web, FTP and rsync services on
the Internet through your proxy. Both rsync and NTP use their own ports
and protocols, different from HTTP/FTP/rsync. Firstly, you need a proxy
server (or some other form of tunnel) that will allow for rdate/NTP

Yes, you can. If you've always had the file, you could've upgraded to

According to my local portage mirror, kipi-plugins-1.9.0 is currently
~x86. There's probably a stray line in
your /etc/portage/package.keywords which unmasks kipi-plugins-1.9.0.
The latest stable is kipi-plugins-1.2.0-r3 which is happy with
libkexiv2-4.4.5-r1, which in turn is stable for x86.

Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on getting an HP/Compaq nx6125 laptop (a Sempron
flavor) used to The Penguin and I met the ACPI fans-not-turning-on bug
referenced here in the wiki:

> So how is the domainname now set?
This was discussed here before; I think the solution was
to put something somewhere in a specific order. I have this working
properly and these're my files:
# cat /etc/conf.d/domainname
OVERRIDE=1
DNSDOMAIN="gvid.cz"
NISDOMAIN=""
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserv
I beg your pardon, this was a different issue - "(none)" appearing
in the domainname's place somewhere else (possibly in the auto-generated
/etc/issue).
My apologies for spamming

Hm, I see, thanks for the hint. Somehow somewhere I got a wrong understanding

Sounds like you might've been trojaned in some weird way. Do you update
regularly? If you run out of options, maybe a complete reinstall (to be sure)
would be in place.
Is there nothing unusual in the logs?
