Re: [gentoo-user] autorespond
Neil Bothwick: I suppose what we really need is a standard header to be inserted by auto-responders. Then mailing list software can simply ignore any such mails. In theory a good solution. In practice I doubt it helps. Whoever is able to configure an auto-responder in such a completely brain-dead way, as we have seen recently, will very likely screw up adherence to such a standard too. In fact, all that's needed is already there (just the other way round, though): every list I'm subscribed to adds a Precedence header field (with values of bulk or list) to the messages. A sane auto-responder will not send replies to messages containing this header field. No matter how you look at it - there's little that protects you against a dim-wit someone has told you're sysadmin now. Regards mks

esd woes (was: Re: [gentoo-user] new gnome fails except for root)
Markus Schönhaber wrote: In the meantime I've noticed one thing: under the first user account I created on the machine, there are no problems at all. With other accounts, I experience random lockups (main menu doesn't respond anymore, desktop icons disappear, nautilus hangs etc.). The difference seems to be that for all accounts except the first, gnome-session starts an instance of esd. I did follow the Gnome 2.18 upgrade guide http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-2.18-upgrade.xml which states that one should start the esound service. This seems to work for the first account, i. e. no esd is spawned upon login but sound works nevertheless. For the other accounts, an instance of esd is started and if I experience a lockup, killing this esd process resolves the issue. I have yet to find out what the difference is between the accounts. The difference seems to be the content of ~/.esd_auth. Applications seem to use the value of this authentication cookie when connecting to the sound server, which decides upon this value whether or not it allows the connection. The cookie in the home directory of the user without problems obviously works. The cookies of the other users don't. ~/.esd_auth is automatically created if it doesn't exist - and the newly created cookie doesn't help authenticating at the sound server. Since the best documentation I was able to find is http://www.tux.org/~ricdude/dbdocs/design_docs148.html I don't have the slightest idea how to create a working cookie or how I managed to get the one working cookie in the one account that exhibits no problems. One workaround (short of disabling sound mixing) obviously is to copy the working cookie to the home dir of the account(s) with problems. But I don't like that. So I looked at the configuration of esd: /etc/conf.d/esound contains # Warning: To use global esound daemon, you must also set spawn_options # in /etc/esd/esd.conf to the same protocol (i. e. add -tcp) and unset # Enable sound server startup in gnome-sound-properties for all users # and optionally handle authentization. Great! I should handle authentization. Too bad that I still do not know how to do that. And I should disable sound server startup. Too bad that this effectively turns off system sounds - the only reason I enabled it in the first place. Further in /etc/conf.d/esound I had ESD_OPTIONS=-tcp -public I'm pretty sure I didn't set this manually since I never have had need for network sound. I changed that to ESD_OPTIONS=-promiscuous which causes esound-esd to use Unix domain sockets instead of tcp sockets and turns off authentication. Since I made this change, I have yet to encounter any lockups (or, for that matter, an additionally spawned esd). But esd -h says [...] -promiscuous start unlocked and owned (disable authenticaton) NOT RECOMMENDED [...] I want all my users to be able to use the sound daemon - does the above warning still apply in this case (because it imposes a risk I do not see)?

I. e. search for boundary markers - the Content-Type declarations should be immediately below them. Anyone have a clue as to why Kmail might be setting the reply to charset: iso-8859-6, which is Arabic? I can't find anything in his emails to cause this. Go to Settings / Configure Kmail... / Composer / Charset There you should see a list of charsets KMail tries to use for encoding outgoing mail. Maybe this list contains iso-8869-6.

Re: [gentoo-user] nautilus 2.16.3 never/always shows backup files
Iain Buchanan wrote: Looks like you've already done the hard yards in searching bgo. If you can't find the bug, then chances are it doesn't exist there yet. Yep, seems so. And since no-one cried out loud on this list, telling me that I missed the obvious, it is even more propable that the bugreport didn't yet exist. If you make a new bug, and provide the patches and upstream bug links, then either it'll be accepted, or marked as a duplicate of the bug you couldn't find. In either case it's worth it to get the problem resolved, IMHO. I did report it yesterday: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157842 Regards mks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] nautilus 2.16.3 never/always shows backup files
Hi there! In nautilus 2.16.3, backup files (files with names that end with a '~' character) are never shown in file browser mode if File management preferences / Views / Show hidden and backup files is unchecked, i. e. toggling View / Show Hidden Files toggles the display of dotfiles but backup files are always hidden. With File management preferences / Views / Show hidden and backup files checked, this is reversed, i. e. backup files are always shown - idependent of the setting of View / Show Hidden Files. I found those in Gnome's bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327361 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335315 and this in Ubuntu's launchpad: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/5326 but I didn't find a report in Gentoo's bugzilla. The patch http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=72108action=view referenced from the Gnome bug #327361 solves the problem for me. Is this really an unknown bug wrt Gentoo or did I simply overlook the corresponding report? Regards mks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild wants to merge gcc over and over again
Hello, this is what revdep-rebuild has to say wrt gcc: broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-w3c-dom.la (requires /usr/lib/libgcj.la) broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-xml-sax.la (requires /usr/lib/libgcj.la) broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcjawt.la (requires /usr/lib/lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.la) broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgij.la (requires /usr/lib/libgcj.la) but neither /usr/lib/libgcj.la nor /usr/lib/lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.la exist on this machine. For example, unmerging sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r1 removes both /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-w3c-dom.la and /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-xml-sax.la and re-merging it afterwards re-creates both - again with the dependency on /usr/lib/libgcj.la Here is a snippet from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-w3c-dom.la: dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libgcj.la -lpthread -ldl -lz -L/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin -L/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/i6 86-pc-linux-gnu/../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -lgcc_s -lc' For sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1-r1 the situation is the same. What can be done to get rid of this? Both versions of gcc have the following USE flags set: doc fortran gcj gtk nls objc Regards mks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - Changing accellerator keys in gnome-terminal

Is it possible to change the accellerator keys in gnome-terminal? I
would like to change
Copy from Cntrl+Shift+C to Cntrl+C
Paste from Cntrl+Shift+P to Cntrl+P
(like it is in just about every other gnome app). I was looking at the
source code for gnome-terminal, at a file called terminal-accels.c and I
see a function:
static KeyEntry edit_entries[] =
{
{ N_(Copy),
KEY_COPY, ACCEL_PATH_COPY, 0, 0, NULL, FALSE },
{ N_(Paste),
KEY_PASTE, ACCEL_PATH_PASTE, 0, 0, NULL, FALSE },
};
[...]
Why don't you simply use Keyboard Shortcuts... from gnome-terminal's Edit
menu?
BTW: I wouldn't call it a good idea to map Ctrl-C to something in a terminal
emulator, since Ctrl-C is normally used to interrupt the running program in
the shell. I wouldn't want to sacrifice this ability.

You'd have to check the docs of the application running inside gnome-terminal - propably your shell - to find out if this is at all possible. I don't know.
