[gentoo-user] mozilla adding/removing lines in text

[CapSel]

When I open a page and scroll it I see something like someone cuted or
added one row of pixels. I noticed it right after upgrading gtk+ froem
2.8.8 to 2.8.12, but I don't know if it is gtk problem. There are no
any errors/warnings.
Any idea of how to fix it?

Edit /etc/conf.d/clock and set CLOCK_SYSTOHC to "yes".  This will sync
your hardware clock to your system time when you shutdown/reboot.

[gentoo-user] setting the time

[Daniel Waeber]

hi

i have a problem with changing the time/date of my computer. I only can
change it temporally till the next reboot. I tried date and ntptime to
set it. after setting it the system shows the right time, but after a
reboot i have the old time again. i have no other system running on the
computer that could change the time, so it is a problem with
linux/gentoo. do i somehow have to finalize the setting?

thanks in advance !

In Linux you have the system clock and the hardware clock. The system
clock is the clock of your motherboard that can be set in the bios
setup.

To set the system clock, the command is:

date mmddhhmmyyyy

To set the hardware clock, use the command:

hwclock --set --date="mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss"

To set the system clock from the hw clock:

hwclock --hctosys

To set the hw clock from the system clock:

hwclock --systohc

Consult "man date" and "man hwclock" for more details.

Sorry... there is a mistake in my message.

"system clock is the clock of your motherboard"

should be

"hardware clock is the clock of your motherboard"

Sorry for the mistake. I hope I did not confused you.

Re: [gentoo-user] setting the time

[Daniel Waeber]

thank you for your help, everything is running perfect now :)
it's easy if you know  the difference between system and hwclock, but 
confusing if you only now about the date program. it would be nice if 
there would be a link to hwclock in the manpage of date, like it is the 
other way round. but this is not a gentoo specific problem i think. i'm 
new to linux so i don't know where to put my suggestion. (should i just 
write a mail to bug-coreutils@gnu.org, like the man page says?)

Take a look in /etc/conf.d/clock:

# If you want to set the Hardware Clock to the current System Time
# during shutdown, then say "yes" here.

CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes"

Hi,

I really don't know how to fix it, but I have the same issues on my  
boxes (amd64 and ppc).
Hopefully there is a way to solve this problem. Have you tried to  
select the ugly text? If I select the misplaced text in my Firefox  
then everything seems to be O.K. again.

Greets,

Rafael

Yes, I tried... but it's not a solution. :(
Can anyone tell me how to check what is causing this?

I've seen this before....but I also can't remember how I solved it.

My first guess is something in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file.  Mine contains:

----
include "/usr/share/themes/Industrial/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

style "user-font"
{
        font_name="Sans Serif 11"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

gtk-theme-name="Industrial"
gtk-font-name="Sans Serif 11"
----

If that doesn't help, can you tell us more about your system?  What
graphics chip and driver?

Yes.  Better still: include a patch with the proposed change.

I don't know how it is possible but when I connected a monitor to my
laptop, after restart, every font was about 2px bigger and the problem
was visible. When I disconected It (the monitor) and restarted my
laptop everything came back to "normal" state...
Some time ago I had a stationary computer connected to this monitor
and there was same situation.
I don't know how this is possible, but it's true.
Is there a way to track down what is happening between laptop and
monitor and stop it? (without disconnecting monitor of course).
Can someone explain how to do it?

Ahhh...sounds like X is detecting your display size and adjusting your
DPI to match.

Try setting a fixed DisplaySize in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  You should
find the good value in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.  Or if you use the nvidia
driver, set 'Option "UseEdidDpi" "Off"'.

I inserrted DisplaySize in Monitor section with size in milimeters as
it was in man xorg.conf.

The one other thing i can think of to try is to use the command line
option to force 75x75 dpi.

If you are using kdm, edit /usr/kde/3.*/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.  There
you will find a ServerCmd setting like this:

ServerCmd=/usr/bin/X -br

Try changing this to:

ServerCmd=/usr/bin/X -dpi 75 -br

If you use another dm, you'll have to figure out how to change it, or
ask here...

I added to ~/.xserverrc:
/usr/bin/X -dpi 75
and after day of testing it seems it solved the problem.
Thank you very much :)
