 I'm having some trouble getting irssi to set my nick on two irc servers

 part)
 looks like this:

[snip configuration]

 My nick gets set and identified on irc.oftc.net, but not on freenode.
 Anyone know what could be going on here?

I don't know if this will help, but...

1.) The /network command has a -nick option; you shouldn't have to use
-autosendcmd to change your nick.

2.) FWIW, both Freenode and OFTC support alternate ways of identifying:
On Freenode you can use a server password, and on OFTC you can use a
client-side SSL cert:

 I am migrating from an amd64 based colo server to a linode system that

Linode? Like http://www.linode.com/? If so, they're starting to support
64-bit (e.g. the Ubuntu 8.04 image), so if you wanted to do that, you
could probably work something out.

I think it's funny that Enigmail isn't happy with any of the messages in
this thread. Mostly Error - No valid armored OpenPGP data block found,
one can't find the key to import.

 mmm then I will regenerate my key and resubmit it later tonight ...

Where did you submit it to? I mostly tried subkeys.pgp.net.

Yes.  However, I understand Hemmann and Nebinger's points.  Makes sense

Too bad Thunderbird doesn't have a setting Start_Read_At_Bottom :-)

You could use the QuoteCollapse extension:

I think there also may be an extension that does just that, but I can't 
say I have a link to one.

Re: [gentoo-user] /home becoming readonly every night

2005-08-24 Thread Matt Nordhoff

For somewhere between 3 days and a week I have been rising to find
that /home has become readonly overnight.

Basically I have to shut down X, manually kill all processes
accessing /home and then run

umount /home
mount /home

which fixes it until tomorrow morning.

I also tried mount /home -o remount,rw 


but was told that /dev/hdb1 was readonly - but it has the same
permissions as /dev/hda1.

Any clues as to where to from here? I cannot even seem to isolate what
time this is happening.


Filesystem errors, maybe? That's why I was always getting read-only 
partitions... Run fsck on it.

Thanks for the tip.  But strangely, 12mb is still missing.




I am pretty sure this is actually correct, and depends upon your BIOS 
options.  All of those cache this or that ROM into memory options 
eat some some ram.  You can disable those to try and get some more 
memory, but your system performance will probably suffer overall.


Modern operating system like Linux 2.6 and WinXP bypass the BIOS after 
the initial bootup, so caching the system/video BIOSes is just a waste 
of memory if you're using Gentoo.  Caching video RAM was nice back in 
the days of ISA video cards, but with PCI/AGP/PCI-X video cards, shut 
off that option.


Just to point out, PCI Express is abbreviated PCIe. PCI-X is a 
different thing.
