It's not greyed for me, and I just set both up that way, but KDE is
still opening man:foo with my default web browser, Firefox. KDE is

It only displays it here if there's no selection page (POSIX vs Linux

Re: [gentoo-user] My PC died. What should I try?
Dale spent two cents: Just my two cents here. Problems like this are usually the power supply. Could it be the mobo, yes it could but the power supply is more likely, usually cheaper to replace and easier to. I had a friends puter that was acting weird, random reboots and such, it was the power supply. A bad power supply can cause all sorts of weird problems. Indeed. Well, so can bad capacitors or a hair crack on a motherboard, but those are rare I tink. If you can, unplug everything including the CD/DVD drive. No hard drives either. Just play with the BIOS. Basically, don't try to boot anything, just look at the BIOS itself. If it acts weird, start with the power supply. If you have to, go to a local place and pick up a cheap power supply. I got three from a friend that once were mine, and I know that at least one of them is definitely working. But the effect was the same. Random problems are hard to fix sometimes. You just have to swap things until you find the bad part. I would put the odds at 80% that it is the power supply tho. I hoped so, as I do not have board or CPU to swap. While at it, do you know what brand and the wattage of your power supply? It could be that someone on here as experience with that particular brand or even that exact model. I could look it up, but then, it's not new, and was one of the few parts that survived a major hardware failure half a year ago. Maybe it got damaged a little aready then. It seemed to work fine, so I kept using it. These things are not cheap, as I tend to buy quality ones that are silend and efficient. I'll get a new board tomorrow, and hope I will have all back working soon. I'm very used to my desktop PC. I have a notebook that is way faster, but it's new and I don't have all my stuff on it yet. Oh, and it runs Windows 7... I'm not sure yet if I will a Gentoo VM, or if I will install Gentoo natively and run Windows in the VM. The best would be the option to have both, I think I read an article on how this could be accomplished. With Gentoo it's not much of a problem, I did that already, but Windows will need some tweaking. And I do not have much time for this these days. Wonko

[gentoo-user] Should I install pulseaudio to solve my phonon audio problems?
Hi list. The KDE phonon can't work properly when I plug a USB audio card (like a webcam with microphone) neither recognize my bluetooth headset. When I used to try to use my webcam microphone, phonon got lost every time I've reboot the system. It always asked me to forget the devices, as if there were new sound cards every time the system rebooted. It also wasn't able to decide which should be the default sound card. Sometimes it guessed correctly, most the time not. Other problems: when kde had the control of a device, none application outside kde were able to use it, as skype or mplayer. The solution I found then was to disable the support from my webcam's audio card on kernel. Without the USB card support, my system get back to normal behavior and I was able to use the webcam. Of course, it was kinda extreme. So, I was wondering if use pulseaudio should fix it, but I'm not sure if it can help. What do you think? Any help will be appreciated. thanks in advance, -- João de Matos Linux User #461527
Re: [gentoo-user] Should I install pulseaudio to solve my phonon audio problems?
If at all possible avoid it! I installed it awhile back for similar reasons ... I needed a BT headset that some programs could only use via pulse. Since then (and currently) audio only seems to work sporadicly with strange, and hard to trace problems - its reputation as a pita to work with is well earned in my experience. :( BillK On Sun, 2012-08-19 at 23:11 -0300, João Matos wrote: Hi list.

I've been using GNOME + PulseAudio since the later become stable in Gentoo. Could not be more happy: my usecase is very similar to yours: I have a BT headset, and a pair of USB speakers, which include a sound card. With PulseAudio, the USB speakers works automagically; I don't need to do anything, and I can change with a click where the audio goes out, either the included speakers, or the USB ones. With the BT headset I just need to pair it in the GNOME Bluetooth settings, and it's the same, I can change where the audio streams go with one click, and also set it per application. I also use PA in my Media Center, and the audio quality is... pretty much the same that without PA, but you get a lot of benefits. Just take in mind that I use GNOME; I do not know how different (if at all) it will be with KDE.

Re: [gentoo-user] Should I install pulseaudio to solve my phonon audio problems?
PA works well with stereo-only outputs. That's most users. People such as myself, however, with 5.1 out, are perpetually disappointed and/or frustrated by the lack of the systems ability to work reliably. I constantly have problems playing music, because it reverts to stereo output every time it is opened. It happens in all distributions that have PA, so it isn't a bug in packaging or configuration, unless all distress and upstream itself get it all wrong.

When I used to try to use my webcam microphone, phonon got lost every time I've reboot the system. It always asked me to forget the devices, as if there were new sound cards every time the system rebooted. It also wasn't able to decide which should be the default sound card. Sometimes it guessed correctly, most the time not. Other problems: when kde had the control of a device, none application outside kde were able to use it, as skype or mplayer. The solution I found then was to disable the support from my webcam's audio card on kernel. Without the USB card support, my system get back to normal behavior and I was able to use the webcam. Of course, it was kinda extreme. So, I was wondering if use pulseaudio should fix it, but I'm not sure if it can help. What do you think? Any help will be appreciated. I've been using GNOME + PulseAudio since the later become stable in Gentoo. Could not be more happy: my usecase is very similar to yours: I have a BT headset, and a pair of USB speakers, which include a sound card. With PulseAudio, the USB speakers works automagically; I don't need to do anything, and I can change with a click where the audio goes out, either the included speakers, or the USB ones. With the BT headset I just need to pair it in the GNOME Bluetooth settings, and it's the same, I can change where the audio streams go with one click, and also set it per application. I also use PA in my Media Center, and the audio quality is... pretty much the same that without PA, but you get a lot of benefits. Just take in mind that I use GNOME; I do not know how different (if at all) it will be with KDE.

Re: [gentoo-user] Should I install pulseaudio to solve my phonon audio problems?
Yes. I have to change it to 4.1 and then back to 5.1 after every song finishes playing. It has been that way ever since the first time I encountered it in Ubuntu years back.

It has been that way ever since the first time I encountered it in Ubuntu years back. It has never done that to me. Which music player do you use? It happens with every one? I use Rhythmbox, Totem, Mplayer2, and of course I watch videos in YouTube in Chromium; nothing even remotely similar has ever happened to me. But if it happens after every song, maybe the music player somehow changes the setting? It sounds fishy, but PA should not change the setting by itself. Anyhow, I'm a perfectly happy 5.1 surround user with PulseAudio since at least two years.

This involves a java application (jar file) and a tunnel to a mysql server. I have detailed PuTTY configuration instructions but haven't yet succeeded in converting them to ssh options. The configuration options include: Seconds between keepalives -- 120 Don't start a shell or command Forwarded port: source port number - PORT Destionation: MACHINE.DOMAIN.COM Host - IP_Address Login - userid Password - pw Using ssh -N userid@IP_Address gives me a password prompt and no command prompt - both good. How do I specify the forwarded port? If I understand correctly, with -L: ssh -L XX:machine2:YY user@machine1 This command will connect you to the machine1 host with user user, and any connection to the port XX to the machine you are running the ssh command from, will redirect the connection to the machine2 host in the YY port. If you want to forward a local port XX to a remote port YY then Canek's suggestion will do what you want, assuming that the correct remote application is listening on port YY. When you have more than one application this can soon become tedious. So, if you want to set up the remote machine as a SOCKS proxy so that any socks-ified applications on the local machine can connect to the remote SOCKS, then you can use: ssh -N -D user@machine1 For applications that do not have built in proxy capability you can use e.g. proxychains.
