Re: [gentoo-user] Server standby
AFAIK, waking up from standby is controlled by hardware, you can't control such events. As for the WOL (Wake on Lan), you _must_ have an ethernet adapter which supports it, usually they have a connector that must be linked to the motherboard. In this way, your ethernet card will be always on and to wake up your PC you have to send a special packet to the MAC address of the card. There are lot of scripts to send such packet, just google it around. Regards.

[gentoo-user] UXterm and terminus?
Hi everyone. I'm trying to use uxterm right now, after a while spent on urxvt (which doesn't behave good on tiled WMs) and I'm quite happy with it, after a little modding. Anyway, if I use the terminus font (using the xft library), I can't see some symbols, like the Euro one (€ ? can you see it? :D), or others.. If I use urxvt (with terminus loaded via xft) everything is fine. Even manpages sometimes contain crappy symbols.. What can I do? This is how i compiled it: [ebuild R ] x11-terms/xterm-243 USE=Xaw3d truetype unicode -toolbar 0 kB -- _ * Massimo Gengarelli massimo.gengare...@gmail.com ~0 (_| * Computer Science student @ http://www.unibo.it |(_~|^~~| * http://massitm.sohead.org -- my personal, outdated website TT/_ TT * IOT trap -- core dumped
Re: [gentoo-user] How would I disable Flash (oand other things) for a single account?
Probably it's not the best solution (and it's easily revertable), but you may try disabling Javascript in Firefox (or whatever browser your user will use). Another solution (but I don't think it will work) is to chmod /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so to -rwxr-x--- (0750) and then change it's ownerships to root:video (or another group you may want to create).

It's doesn't have to be securely off, just off, so if it cannot be done by meddling with group membership then doing something in a root owned bash file that executes when the user logs in even that's fine with me.
