[gentoo-user] Some problems I've been having

[Michael Sullivan]

I've had problems galore this week.  Yesterday I had to re-merge evince
because my pdf view wasn't working.  This morning I had to re-merge gtk+
because file-roller and seamonkey weren't working.  I rebuilt my kernel
(2.6.17-gentoo-r8) in yet another attempt to upgrade to
media-tv/ivtv-0.8.0 because the kernel didn't have CONFIG_VIDEO_CX2341X
set.  Can anyone help me with this?  I simply can't find it.  Yesterday an
etc-update asked me to review a proposed change to /etc/rc.conf.  I said
to go ahead and replace it, thinking that I could modify the new one with
my custom options later.  I did  notice that the option for X login screen
was gone (gdm/kdm/xdm).  Where has this moved to?  When I rebooted with my
rebuilt kernel (which still does not have that stupid option included) I
was met with the cold boring xdm login screen.  I want gdm back.  Any
ideas how I can get it?  When I logged into Gnome, my two panels were
frozen (fixed that with killall gnome-panel), but my mini-commander applet
crashed (repeatedly with repeated killall gnome-panel).  Is there a way
for me to find out why it crashed and how to fix it?  I had to re-merge
evince again this morning because nautilus wouldn't work. (Why are all
these libraries suddenly failing?  revdep-rebuild reports nothing amiss!) 
Evolution-2.6 freezes immediately after startup (I'm writing this in
squirrelmail - seamonkey works, for now at least.)  Here's the output in
my terminal from it:

michael@camille ~ $ evolution-2.6
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge": libatk-bridge.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

NULL parameter.

(evolution-2.6:7159): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with
NULL parameter.

I don't see anything in that output that tells me why it's freezing.  the
camel_exception_get_id thing is kinda ominous, but I think it always says
that when I start it from the terminal.  Also, is there a way to find out
if my firewall is actually running at any given time?  I use ipkungfu, but
when /etc/init.d/ipkungfu status says it's running, I can't find anything
in ps about ipkungfu or iptables.  Is there a way for me to know for sure?
 Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated...

Run make menuconfig, press / and type 'CX2341'.

It said No Matches Found.  Should I just mask this version of ivtv for
now until I get a newer kernel?  BTW, evolution worked after I killed
evolution-data-server and evolution-alarm-notify.  Guess I should have
thought of that earlier...

Which kernel are you using?

Ivtv version 0.8.0 is for the 2.6.18 kernel only. You need to use 
version 0.7.x for the 2.6.17 kernel.

With regards to your problems I am not sure I can offer any advice (other than 
running revdep-rebuild).  With the iptables you can run iptables -L -v to see 
if appropriate rules are active, or if your chains are empty and lsof to find 
out if a particular file accessed by the binary in question (see man lsof 
which is quite extensive).
