Re: [gentoo-user] Any chance to "unpack" or install a ppa-package on Gentoo-Linux ?

2019-08-31 Thread Nils Freydank
Hi,

no, as we are not able to guess what a ppq package even is.

If you know what you have there search for something like
"unpack package from $Software linux", if you don't then try to guess it by 
running file from sys-apps/file and search then.

Good luck and may be the search foo be with you!

If you speak about the ubuntu ppa-packages (and not ppq) and if it’s
still based on a debian repo scheme, you can use dpkg on the .deb
archive.

thanks for your help - I really appreciate it ! :) ;)

Will see, whether I can find the according deb-package
on the net and will take dbpkg then.. :)

Have a nice weekend! :)

[gentoo-user] cannot open display

2019-08-31 Thread Tamer Higazi

Hi people,

For a specific time I have a very strange behaviour on gentoo.
I cannot start any applicaion on xfce, just logout or shutdown the machine.

When I try through an existing open shell to execute a program I get 
this error:


tamer@tux / $ firefox-bin
No protocol specified
Error: cannot open display: :0.0

Can somebody tell me what's wrong here?


best, Tamer
