Making use of non standard options when standard compliant options are avialable, is no-good evolution. It very much tastes of the way Microsoft handles standards.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: star
Hi Joerg, Quite an honour to receive a mail from you. :) The reason why Debian started this is the missing will for quality oriented cooperation by a single person: Eduard Bloch. The reason why other Linux distributions followed Debian is that they believed the lies spread by Eduard Bloch. I see a good cooperation with 99.99% of the Linux commuinity but there are some Trolls who attack me. It seems that once you do a lot of work, some people become jealous and start to attack you. Doing popular things seems to imply that you become the target of attacks. I didn't follow the whole licence issue, nor I don't care that much about that (I was just explaining what I know from the Internet). The problem, as it seemed, is that you and Bloch staunchly refused to settle down the issue somehow. Please correct me if it's wrong. But I don't buy the people that attack me is just jealous/trolling argument, sorry. Assuming good faith is always better. To tell I'm right and B is lying is quite trollish too. To tell I'm right, B probably hasn't understood that... is another thing. And trying to do baby steps each in the direction of the other should always be strived for. It seems in this case that both failed to do that. Personally I'd have stepped down on licence issues if that meant more distribution for my code, but I'm not a serious programmer so I don't know if it holds for larger projects. However I'll have to review ye old flamewar to understand the issue.

[gentoo-user] konsole doesn't always seem to refresh
I've been having a weird an inconsistent issue with konsole. Suppose I'm in a directory with a lot of files, like my mp3 folder. Then suppose I want to play one with, say, mplayer. So I type [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt/booty/data/music $ mplayer Yo and I hit tab to get it to do some completion. The weird thing is that I often will hear the beep, signifying that it needs me to type the next character(s) to further specify the file, but it won't show what it has typed so far. In other words, bash has already written things out to stdout, but I still see [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt/booty/data/music $ mplayer Yo in konsole. This doesn't happen if I am in one of the Atl-Fn terminals, which leads me to believe it's a konsole issue. Another time I see this behavior is after a program is done it doesn't always give me back the prompt, [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt/booty/data/music $ If I type something all of a sudden it shows up. It seems like konsole isn't flushing its output buffers when it should. Is this something I can configure better, or a bug, or what? -- Randy Barlow http://electronsweatshop.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

On 9/26/07, Michael Schreckenbauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: SNIP afaik those are all default values, except audio.alsa_hw_mixer:0. I don't think, that's a problem. Does xine play every sound through the wrong device or only DVDs (5.1)? Maybe there's a stale asoundrc in your home, somehow redirecting plug:surround51:0 to the second device? I'm out of ideas now, it seems :( Regards, Michael Hi Michael, Thanks for responding. As I stated in the original thread, long since cast the the email bone pile, the only application that seems to have a problem on this machine is xine. Aqualung (an audio file CD player) sends audio to the Intel chip. mplayer, playing DVDs, sends audio to the Intel chip. Only xine by default is sending audio to the external USB converter. The problem in xine is not specific to DVDs. It does the same thing playing CDs. Note that with Aqualung I can reroute audio to the external USB converter by purposely routing audio to the ':1' sound device, exactly as Alsa should perform I believe. As far as I can tell the machine has neither an asound.state file or any .asoundrc files: dragonfly ~ # slocate .asoundrc dragonfly ~ # slocate asound.state /var/lib/alsa/asound.state dragonfly ~ # Also, the problem is not specific to a user. It happens in my account, my wife's account and my son's account. It seems to be a global issue. As background, I have a second machine with dual sound cards. It has the same generic Intel HDA audio device in it. It's second sound card is an RME HDSP9652. xine works fine on that machine. Audio goes to the Intel chip as it should. I'm at a complete loss on this one. It's starting to feel as if it might be an Alsa issue and specific to USB audio. As I've gotten no response from the xine-users list and this seems to be beyond the typical Gentoo issue I suppose I might try those folks, assuming no one else here has any experiments for me to try.

That make sense, since 400 means 'bad request' the culprit probably fails a preset number of times and then gives up. Perhaps 127.0.0.1 is the setting for something in the absence of a sane configuration - in other words, it might be tricky to track this one down. You'll have to let us know what gurific sleuthing techniques you employ to track down the bad guys. What do you mean by bad guys? I made a mistake in my initial post. The 127.0.0.1 entries always show up in ssl_access_log, not access_log. Also, I noticed that a huge block of them always appears at the very beginning of each day's ssl_access_log at exactly 3:10AM. You should perhaps use combined logging so you get more information, like the user agent and such. right now you're using 'common' logging which has the additional disadvantage that it doesn't give you particularly useful information if you decide to use a statistical analyzer like awstats on your archive of logs from the past umpteen years. The user agent might be useful for debugging purposes. I switched ssl_access_log temporarily to the combined format, and it was definitely working, but the 127.0.0.1 error looked exactly as it did in common format with no extra information. You might also consider running tcpdump for a few hours or so, or something, and have it watch for that port and interface and run ps or something if you get output from it. Or use iptables logging for the job, if you'd rather do that. Any specific commands or even just certain parameters I should look into? - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] font corruption ???
My wife uses my gentoo workstation with Open Office Writer to prepare documents for my son's Boy Scout troop and has encountered printing problems. The environment is cups-1.2.10-r1, openoffice-bin-2.3.0, xorg-x11-7.2, xorg-server-1.3.0.0, etc. After starting OOw, the first document (typically a single page) is fine. Reprinting it, gives garbled output. An example is word When: printing as $ henC: and Where: printing as $ hereC. Typically capital letters, digits and punctuation are off (with the same wrong character for the same original character, i.e. $ instead of W, ) instead of S, etc). Exiting OOw, restarting it, and printing the document gives similar results -- first copy good, second copy munged. I don't think the problem is a printer issue as it (a networked Brother 7820N) seems to work fine off our kids' WinXP machine. Anybody seen this problem or have suggestions how to fix it? Thanks.

The date and source IP address fields are obvious. The dashes mean field is empty. My guess is that one of those is for http_user. 470 most probably is the http error code (means bad request) and the last field with value 470 would be bytes sent. Again: I'm just guessing. If it was up to me, I'd check the config files out and do some googling to get the meaning of those fields and their values. -- Best regards, Daniel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I would love to know how it does the impossible - since the ftp protocol doesn't know anything about domain names :) The only limitation comes from single common passwd file, i.e. you can not have two different users on two different virtual ftp-server having the same login name... That's because it simply boils down to ftp not being able to support virtual name hosting. In reality, the above fudge goes something like this: domain: ftp.virtual.a.example.com user/pass: usera/passa directory: /var/ftp/usera domain: ftp.virtual.b.example.com user/pass: userb/passb directory: /var/ftp/userb userb can actually login using either ftp.virtual.a.example.com or ftp.virtual.b.example.com. The different domains is just a convenience for the users and makes not one bit of difference to an ftp server because it only knows about which IP address(es) to listen to. -- Crayon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
