[gentoo-user] emerge --sync connecting to 1.0.0.0 [OT, maybe]
Hi list, this may be a trivial question, but I really don't know anything about networking. When I connect my laptop to the internet through my Netgear router, both firefox and galeon work fine, but I can not run emerge: emerge --sync Starting rsync with rsync://1.0.0.0/gentoo-portage...

However, after doing ping rsync.gentoo.org PING rsync.gentoo.org (134.68.220.97) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from rsync.gentoo.org (134.68.220.97): icmp_seq=1 ttl=49 time=170 ms 64 bytes from rsync.gentoo.org (134.68.220.97): icmp_seq=2 ttl=49 time=171 ms 64 bytes from rsync.gentoo.org (134.68.220.97): icmp_seq=3 ttl=49 time=168 ms --- rsync.gentoo.org ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 1998ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 168.541/169.990/171.031/1.159 ms emerge works: emerge --sync Starting rsync with rsync://134.68.220.97/gentoo-portage...

Re: [gentoo-user] Adjusting the cursor speed in the terminal
Thanks for all your explanations, but the funny thing is that I am German. :D I just didn't know about the two different meanings of the word decline, what is rather embarassing due to the fact that I learned (or had to lean) Latin. Every word starting with de(c/k)la... should make me remember declanations immediately. Latin has the four cases Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative and additionally the Vocative and the Ablative. I haven't seen any other languages with six cases. As you can imagine, it's quite tiring to learn Latin. :-\ Another quick case study: [magnus large] Male base form singular Nominative magnus Genitive magni Dative magno Accusative magnum Vocativemange Ablative mango Male base form plural Nominative magni Genitive magnorum Dative magnis Accusative magnos Vocativemangi Ablative mangis There are, as in German, three genders: male, female and neutral. What makes declining latin adjectives more difficuilt is imho the number of different declanations. Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_declension if you wanna get overwhelmed by complexity. :-) Hehe.. this might become a flamewar of languages instead of programming languages. :D @Uwe Thiem Are you also German? You name sounds quite as if you're.

But then again, imagine you have to do that in real time in speech. It can be very hard on your brain if you haven't grown up with it. All in all, there are things in German that are far worse than adjective. Like capitalising or verbs - regular verbs, that is. Maybe, I should change my signature soon. ;-) In his book A Tramp Abroad, Mark Twain wrote a whole chapter about how difficult German was - and he went into much detail about verbs. Unfortunately, there isn't a single sentence with a good pun about it that qualifies for a signature. If you look at the rules of German grammar, you get a distinct feeling that the designers of C++ tried their very best to emulate German in a programming language. Alan, my South African brother, you are not talking about C++ but about Ada. C++ wasn't invented by a committee but by a single person. It's rather easy. If you stick to a couple of conventions (*not* rules) it's very readable even without comments. Ada, on the other hand,... Yes yes yes. Let's start a flamewar about programming languages.

Re: [gentoo-user] Loss of VT switching capabilities after Gnome 2.16 upgrade
I've been having problems with something on the lines of gnome-settings-daemon. When starting X, gnome starts up and I immediately get an issue with this daemon which makes reference to something relating to dbus and Bonobo in another place. It warns about potential theme/settings problems which make sense because things look a little dry, here (it has a big-java-applet feel). The upgrade guide at: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-2.16-upgrade.xml mentions possible problems with gnome-settings-daemon and what can be done.

Marco -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list I've seen that exact problem with many simple routers like the one you have and various Linux distros, almost always some of the programs do work with dns server being the router itself and some don't. Namely: Web browsers and IM apps mostly work, rsync,svn git and some telnet and ftp apps mostly don't. In MS Windows almost always all work just fine. The solution for me was to find out in the router itself what are the dns servers that it uses and configure them in the system, either in resolv.confor in conf.d/net . Hope it helps.
