Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
3-4 days back i did a world emerge. First i wanted to do a update only but |
4 |
instead a did a world emerge with --emptytree option. Everything gone quite |
5 |
smoothly. |
6 |
Then i did a module-reubuild. Then a reboot. Everything was fine till now. |
7 |
But after login i noticed one thing, typing anywhere(either on terminal or |
8 |
gedit or anywhere) is not smooth any more. |
9 |
I mean going through in a file up and down or escaping characters is |
10 |
really slow now. One more thing was that 'gsynaptics' was not working |
11 |
anymore. |
12 |
----------------------------------------------------- |
13 |
flukebox@flukebox ~ $ gsynaptics |
14 |
|
15 |
** (gsynaptics:31184): WARNING **: Using synclient |
16 |
flukebox@flukebox ~ $ |
17 |
---------------------------------------------------- |
18 |
It appread on screen for few moments less then 2-3 seconds and gone. No |
19 |
errors to trace back. |
20 |
That sucks me totally. Previously i have xorg-x11-7.2, now after world |
21 |
emerge I have xorg-x11-7.3 with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.09 both |
22 |
the times. I didn't find a cure for that rough typing and synaptics. |
23 |
Then i look inot Xorg log, and quite interestingly found following errors. |
24 |
|
25 |

After that i googled a lot but till now unable to find any cure. So, i |
69 |
forget that for time being. |
70 |
|
71 |
Lately i was trying to get hibernate, suspend working on my laptop. I |
72 |
followed "http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_TuxOnIce". I installed |
73 |
"sys-kernel/tuxonice" and got settings accoring to howto. |
74 |
I emerged hibernate-script,suspend too. then i tried hibernating. Aah |
75 |
hiberanting didn't work. It worked partially actually. I am able to |
76 |
hibernate but not able to resume. While resuming system freezes after saying |
77 |
"cleaning". Any specific logs to look into ? |
78 |
when hibernate didn't work .. i give a try to suspend .. and write |
79 |
"hibernate-ram" on terminal and voila it worked. So, I am currently able to |
80 |
suspend. |
81 |
Here comes very interesting and strange part of all of these headaches. |
82 |
After resuming from sleep, one more problem got solved. No more slow typing |
83 |
hurray :P. |
84 |
So, now i can type everywhere(terminal or gedit or whatever) as fast as |
85 |
before emerging world. Even going though in a file up and down, tho and fro |
86 |
are smooth now. But i have no clue whats happing wrong in boot that causing |
87 |
me typing error.And whats good happing while resumming from sleep that |
88 |
remove those error. Does sequence of module probing gives any change ?? |
