[gentoo-user] Wall is not working and wondering about upsmon too.
I had myself a funny a bit ago. I plugged in a heater and tripped a breaker which made my UPS kick in for a minute. After getting that corrected, turned off the heater, I noticed something strange. My UPS kicked in but nothing came up on the screen. It used to be that wall would broadcast a message to the screen. I got nothing. I check my logs and it noticed that the UPS was on battery and it said it walled a message. Is walled a word? Anyway, I tested this theory by typing in wall this is a test in a Konsole and nothing happened. Here is what my log says: Oct 23 06:06:21 smoker upsmon[9966]: Someone pulled the plug on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oct 23 06:06:21 smoker wall[18762]: wall: user nut broadcasted 1 lines (43 chars) Oct 23 06:08:11 smoker upsmon[9966]: UPS [EMAIL PROTECTED] is getting line power Oct 23 06:08:11 smoker wall[20331]: wall: user nut broadcasted 1 lines (42 chars) Oct 23 06:09:25 smoker wall[22865]: wall: user root broadcasted 1 lines (6 chars) Oct 23 06:10:01 smoker cron[24078]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons /usr/sbin/run-crons ) Can someone shed some light on what happened to wall? This is strange. Also, if someone has a CyberPower UPS and wouldn't mind, how about sharing your configs? I'm just not real sure about my setup here. Maybe wall is just throwing me a curve at the moment. I would like mine to just turn off if power is lost longer than about 15 minutes or so instead of running my batteries down. Thanks for any light you can shed on this issue. Dale :-) :-) For those who noticed the change of email address, yup, I moved.

Re: [gentoo-user] xmms alternative
Maybe Amarok will not fit you... If u don't like GUI, Amarok is not your program... Though apparently we should be using amarok so I'll have to give that a whirl. Well, I suppose you noticed my joking tone in message... I was a diehard XMMS fan. Then I noticed news about its imminent death, and I sadly looked for alternatives. I once did *hate* players like amaroK, but in its latest version is a killer app. It just works, and works well. And simple features like instant search, wikipedia search and shuffling become rapidly interesting. The only downside is a small memory leak that becomes noticeable after a few days. I'd love an XMMS with amaroK features, or better an amaroK with a deep XMMS look-n-feel. Anyway, I don't know if you know last.fm (you could take a look), but Amarok's integration with that site is wonderful. You could (now could, not should neither must) try dynamic reproduction list, rating, taggin', etc... Never tried it. Thanks for the tip. m. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If the desktop can't communicate with the router, how would it know the router's WAN address? What WAN Address? I cannot see any address other than one of the reserved class C's. I would suggest that either the PC you are pinging from (desktop) does not have an address in the same range as the router, or the default gateway is incorrect on the desktop. Another possibility is a an IP conflict but this is less likely. Can you possibly post the IP configuration (ifconfig) from the desktop machine so that we can see how the interface is set up. After rebooting the desktop, all I get from ping attempts is: connect: Network is unreachable so I guess it won't connect at all now. I don't think ifconfig would be useful now, but let me know if I'm wrong or if you have any other ideas. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Perhaps you could post the output of ifconfig, and the contents of /etc/conf.d/net as this should list the configuration of all of the network adapters (just in case eth0 is not the interface that you are using).
