Mozilla’s Marketing claimed this, too. But before Australis hit, the menu
was just another movable item which allowed me to have everything in a
single bar at the top: menu, address bar and bookmarks. This was not
possible anymore after the change.
Thankfully, at some point I found pentadactyl (vimperator fork) which
enabled me to reduce the FX GUI to the web view and the single status bar
with noscript/adblock/flashblock icon, plus the tabbar if needed. The only
thing I really miss now is FlagFox, b/c that can’t be moved out of the
address bar anymore.

To close off my original question, the problem was related to
qt-creator. I had 3.2.2 installed and it wanted to update to 3.4.1.
3.4.1 has a dependency on qtwebkit, which has a dependency on ruby,
hence the infestation. Masking > 3.2.2 solved the problem.

Thanks to those who provided suggestions,

Nope.  That was my first thought.  I was hoping.  I checked everything
that can affect the printer, the apps setting, hplip and cups.  All set
correctly. 

Good idea tho.  ;-)

I've lost track of all the details of this thread, so please excuse me
if this has been suggested already.  If I recall, you are using CUPS,
and if so, this document[1] explains how to set margins from the command
line.  It seems to be document-specific, and not global, though.

I remember doing the required math for this a couple of years ago, and
ended up just going with something like a2ps and being done with it.

--tree is already documented in the man page, in alphabetical order with
all the rest of the options. Yes, it's two lines, but that's all it
needs to be:

it displays the whole depgraph so yu can see what pulls in what.

It's also *very* well-known around here and is usually one of the first
things given as advice with questions like yours.

Were you expecting something more?

I ended up editing the ppd file and it seems to be working.  That could

Finally, after a very busy day of using bash with no problems, this
happened again and 'echo' was off (-echo).

The command triggering the problem was mpv, which I invoked from a
bash prompt to listen to an mp3 podcast file.

I noticed a warning message that mpv was linked against an earlier
version of ffmpeg than the one I have installed now (I'm on ~amd64 so
my rate of package turnover is quite high, naturally).  IIRC the
warning message was displayed in a different color from my normal black
font.  I think this may be true of other instances as well, not sure.

Anyone know of a mechanism that allows an app like mpv to set -echo?

BTW, I typed 'reset' which evidently restored 'echo' (now I can see the
characters I type) but the 'Backspace' key produces '^H' on the
terminal instead of deleting characters.

Next time this happens I'll include the output of stty -a.

An another me too also rarely, I thought it was related to my terminal
emulator, but I can't remember if it happened today.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Anyone else having a problem with bash?

[Anton Shumskyi]

Same for me, but it appears only after I'm canceling some job on terminal
with CTRL+C, maybe in 10% of total cases. I thought that was some
side-effect of switching env back, but because job is terminated in a "bad
way" haven't considered that as a bug.
