2010-04-29 Thread Helmut Jarausch
Hi, I have very bad experience with acroread-9.3.2. Some printers (claiming to support postscript level 3) just hang. When I first 'print' to a file, gv only shows some part of each page and evince just hangs. Has anybody similar experience? (Yes, I can use xpdf, but acroread has the nice featur

[gentoo-user] No /dev/sd? devices. Udev problem?

2010-04-29 Thread Alex Schuster
Hi there! I just migrated a friend's machine to ~am64. Everything was updated, but after a reboot some partitons are not found. No wonder, there are no /dev/sd? devices, only /dev/sg?. I suspect the problem is udev, because that was updated. Root is encrypted, so this machine makes use of an i

[gentoo-user] Is my data gone?

While setting up a new disk I accidentally ran "mke2fs /dev/sda1" instead of "mke2fs /dev/hda1". When I realized the mistake (about 2 seconds later) I hit Ctrl-C before mke2fs was done. Now I can't mount the drive. Is there a way to read the drive to get the data off or is it unrecoverable? Tha
