If it is a firefox3 problem then the bug report would go to firefox developers. It does affect firefox 2 also. All users except root. All gecko browsers, I guess (all firefox, and epiphany---didnt' try galeon). just re-emerge dbus and/or revdep-rebuilt should be enough. Or that 'preserved-libs' stuff. I don't qet it about preserved-libs. THerefore I haven't done anything about any of the messages. I don't understand the messages, exactly what would happen? Would I be building the same app with the same old lib or with the new lib? I need to find something in the docs, but haven't seen anything yet. http://r0bertz.blogspot.com/2008/06/portage-22-preserve-libs-features.html the problem with it (a friend run into it - maybe the have fixed it in the meantime)if you do an emerge -e system/world while the old stuff is still there, some apps and libs will link against the old stuff. Thus the whole exercise will be a waste of time and energy. Please don't top post, it makes it very hard to follow the flow of the list. Thanks! Let us know how that turns out with the script.

I stumbled upon a new development on X.Org: Kernel Mode Setting. I think that The Way to Go will be using the same driver for the framebuffer console as well as X. http://www.x.org/wiki/ModeSetting http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=kernel_modesettingnum=1 Hopefully we'll see this sooner rather than later.

[gentoo-user] new sys-apps/hal-0.5.11: changing keyboard layout
Hi, have you noticed the hal update? It just informed me about some trouble concerning my keyboard-layout. Keyboards as well as mice are now added automatically to xorg (and the evdev driver is used - hooray! always wanted to use evdev). Yet, they are always added with us keyboard layout. So hal's ebuild suggested, that i use gnome's keyboard settings or that i use setxkbmap to override the us-setting. So my first thought was: how to hell do i tell gdm to use de keyboard layout? So what's the answer? How do i do it properly? How do i tell xorg-x11 to use de layout for all hot-plugged keyboards? Because gdm offers no keyboard-settings, as far as i know. And since my keyboard is qwertz, i see a y when typing a z in gdm. gnome settings kick in AFTER logging in - so that's pretty useless for gdm. Regards, Sven

In xorg.conf, try this: Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard1 Driver evdev Option AutoRepeat 250 30 Option XkbRules xorg Option XkbModel evdev Option XkbLayout de EndSection Make sure the keyboard is used in the ServerLayout section: Section ServerLayout # ... InputDevice Keyboard1 CoreKeyboard EndSection For a Gnome panel you may have to emerge some package. At least for KDE, the Keyboard Layouts entry in KDE's control panel was missing until I emerged kxkb. If you get the Gnome config panel to work, you must select evdev device or similar, not pc104. If you don't need to switch between layouts (DE to US and back), you don't need the Gnome panel at all. The entry in xorg.conf is enough.

Why do they probe _my_ IP and not the IP of my DNS servers? What's the point on probing me if _maybe_ the servers are not patched? Wild guess: the problem is with the client mode of operation. DNS servers are affected because their clients to the root name-servers. I think this vulnerability highlights the issue of using servers that you TRUST. It applies to other vulnerabilities, too. It doesn't matter if you revoke your SSH key and upload it to OpenForge if the OpenForge server itself is trusting an insecure SSH key, and an attacker can use it to get at your account that way.

I believe the OP's intentions are to determine if slocate would have any benefit specifically for portage related utilities. And with that, there would not be any benefit to the average user IMHO, as slocate is updated usually nightly ( when installed ) and as such if the utilities were using the results obtained from that utility, it might apply changes which would be detrimental to the system, assuming changes have been made to portage or installed apps since the updatedb run. -- Beau Did It!
