You may need to declare that in your apache httpd.conf Directory section for that path, rather than in the .htaccess file. Hmm. Sounds plausible. Maybe I'll have to put it back into /var/www/... and try to work out why I can't see images there. Thanks for your help Paul. -- Rgds Peter
Re: [gentoo-user] Does UEFI needs seperate /boot partition?
As UEFI needs a FAT partition /boot/efi/efi, can I create it from my previous /boot partition? I haven't tried it yet - my /boot and /boot/efi are still two seperate partitions on my sys - but in theory it should work just fine with only a UEFI partition as the UEFI bootloader just loads the grub2 loader (I don't know what it's called, sorry. but I mean the grubx64.efi file) and then grub2 loads the rest. grub2 does not care where the stuff is, it just needs to know where to find the files (and maybe load some extra modules if you keep your files on a rare filesystem, raid, lvm, etc...).

Re: [gentoo-user] Oh no! My raid5 is not assembled, and how I fixed it.
Are you using sys-fs/mdadm-3.2.4 or sys-fs/mdadm-3.2.5? If so see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/dev/255107 (Gentoo Dev list) and bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416081 -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org

My autoassembled raid5 setups still work, autoassembled raid1 to. But the stuff that is supposed to be assembled by mdadm has to be done by hand. So much about 'user space assembling is so much better and robust'. As shown: it isn't. Pisses me off everytime I reboot. which is, luckily, not THAT often. -- #163933
Re: [gentoo-user] failure to login with xdm or gdm
I have fixed the problem by downgrading polkit and udisks. To answer your questions Thanks, had the same problem. Was just about to leave the house, thought I'd do a quick reboot first, but instead of a login screen, I got a blank screen. It's always something when you are invited to a barbecue and try to be punctual :)

Brilliant :) It does indeed, thanks. Might be worth reporting as a bug perhaps. Or ask around on LKML. Maybe post about it to the usb-storage mailing list, the people who write those drivers might be hanging out there. It is a low-volume list so maybe a higher chance of being seen than LKML. https://groups.google.com/a/lists.one-eyed-alien.net/group/usb-storage Well, Greg K-H said it sounded to him like a pci hotplug issue and sure enough, adding pci_hotplug got it working. That leaves me wondering how a mere mortal tells the difference between a broken driver and a missing driver. Ask a kernel dev, obviously :)

I just did a portage sync and now it wants to downgrade back to 3.2.3-r1. I had bad luck on the timing for my quarterly reboot, I guess. :) Thanks.
