[gentoo-user] dhcpcd brokenness
Ever since an upgrade a few weeks, dhcpcd has been broken. If I start up my laptop withput a hard-wired ethernet connection on eth0, dhcpcd starts up for eth0 and notices that it's got a record of an unexpired lease stored away for eth0. So it decides to just go ahead and use that lease to bring up eth0 even though eth0 _isn't_connected_to_anything_. Since eth0 comes up first, it gets priorty in the routing table over eth1 (a wireless interface that _is_ up and working). All traffic gets routed out eth0 (which isn't connected). I've got to manually shut down eth0 to get a working network. WTF does dhcpcd think it can go ahead an use an old lease like that? That particular bit of brain-deadedness isn't supposed to be enabled unless you use the -E option. I double-checked my network configuration files and checked the running dhcpcd command line with ps. I don't use the -E option. Does anybody know how to prevent dhcpcd from enabling the -E option when you don't specify -E? -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

I guess the price came down a lot since I looked last. I assume it would be faster than my IDE drives too? That would be nice. Thanks again, Dale :-) :-) If you get a newer model, it will be faster. From my tests, the difference between SATA and IDE is not very large if its the same hard drive model. In other words, I think newer drives are going to go faster than older drives regardless of the bus arch. nevertheless I went with sata myself, even though I had to buy a card, because I wanted to start going in that direction. I want that drive to be around a while and at the speed technology goes, i think SATA is a good way to make sure I'll still be able to talk to it when the warranty expires. One reason I want to get a SATA is that I plan to build a new box to replace this one. It will have SATA so why buy a drive now then have to buy another one a while later.

[gentoo-user] Ghostscript - font path
gs -h gives me the following font path for Ghostscript Search path: . : /home/joseph/.fonts : /usr/share/ghostscript/8.15/lib : /usr/share/ghostscript/8.15/Resource : /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/ : /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript : I have the above paths but not the below ones. /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 : /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType : /usr/lib/DPS/outline/base : /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 : /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType Where these paths are coming from? According to documentation: /usr/share/doc/ghostscript-esp-8.15.3/html/Use.htm The documentation only mention Xfree86 display servers but I would imagine is it is applicable to Xorg as well. So, the fonts path from xorg.conf should be searchable by Ghostscript as well but they are not. Ghostscript doesn't know anything about them; as one of the pdf document was giving me an error, I couldn't convert from pdf2ps it was looking for: gbsn00lp.ttf font I have this font in /usr/share/fonts/arphicfonts/ Only when I created a link in: /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/ ln -s /usr/share/fonts/arphicfonts/gbsn00lp.ttf gbsn00lp.ttf to this font it converted from pdf2ps Shouldn't gs -h show list of path fonts from xorg.conf file? - #Joseph -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
