Re: [gentoo-user] What is the best audio system?
You should check airfoil [1]. It's a multiplatform sound system but it's not open source.

Re: [gentoo-user] What is the best audio system?
no, I missunderstood what it is for, airfoil can only play streams from windows or mac, the output could be linux though, but anyways it isn't what you are looking for. 2012/2/27 Juan Diego Tascón juantas...@gmail.com: You should check airfoil [1].

Re: [gentoo-user] Anybody have kdebluetooth working?
I have never been able to pair in a2dp mode and pulseaudio with either kdebluetooth nor gnome bluetooth, only blueman seems to be doing a good job for that On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 6:46 AM, Mick michaelkintz...@gmail.com wrote: On Thursday 23 Feb 2012 12:47:00 James Broadhead wrote: On 23 February 2012 12:39, Robin Atwood robin.atw...@attglobal.net wrote: I have just tried to send a file from my phone to my laptop running KDE 4.8.0 and it fails; the two devices never bind.

It does have a --static option, though. While this is good enough for simply setting the DNS server, it does not seem to allow specifying domain names or search-domains (at least it is not shown in the man-page). Please tell me what the proper way is and whether the mention of -R is a documentation bug. Thanks in advance, Florian Philipp from the man page, this seems to do what you want (never tried, i use dhclient and its /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf): -C, --nohook script Don't run this hook script. Matches full name, or prefixed with 2 numbers optionally ending with .sh. So to stop dhcpcd from touching your DNS or MTU settings you would do:- dhcpcd -C resolv.conf -C mtu eth0 yoyo I use the google dns servers so I created a /etc/resolv.conf file and set the i attribute on it: chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf that way it can't be removed or overwritten and you won't have that problem no matter what dhcp client you are using

In true grand Unix tradition you cannot get quicker, dirtier or more
effective than that
awk does pattern matching, o you can ditch the grep stage and use
awk '! /myip/ {print $1}'
You could use awk to search for the GET patterns too, not only saving yet
another process, but making sure that no one else, including you next
month, can work out what the command is supposed to do.
Meh, me forgetting what an awk snippet do? Never!
sed ... now that's a wholly different story :-P
sort -u would save having a separate process for uniq, but I've no idea
if it's faster. It's only worth using sort -u if you would use uniq with
no arguments.
And you can actually do the 'uniq' or '-u' function within awk. Quite
easily, in fact.
Here's a sample of awk doing uniq:
awk '!x[$1]++ { print $1 }'
Benefit? It doesn't care if the non-unique lines are one-after-another
or spread all over the text. The above snippet prints only the first
occurence. Combine that with a test for match:
awk '!x[$1]++ $0 ~ /awesome_regex_pattern/ {print $1}'
then with a test for negated match
awk '!x[$1]++ $0 ~ /awesome_regex_pattern/ $0 !~
/more_awesome_regex/ {print $1}'
