Re: [gentoo-user] Google privacy changes
Dale rdalek1...@gmail.com writes: Hi list, I ran across this news item about Google: http://alturl.com/s7xi5 The long URL is below. I'm sort of getting to where I don't like Google since they seem to be doing things that I'm just not comfy with. Next they will want a camera on my rig so they can watch me surf. I found a search engine that may work. It is here: www.ixquick.com Does anyone have a better search tool? I don't like Yahoo either. I do like froogle so that would be a bonus. You know, shopping tool. Now to my next issue. I'm thinking about switching emails too. Yea, everyone on here knows my addy but I bet most can recognize my posts anyway. Plus, if the init thingy goes south, well, it happens. Anyway, what is a nice stable email account server that allows pop access, Seamonkey as the email program, that is not tracking everything or nosey as heck? Free would be nice but I would pay something inexpensive on a yearly basis if it is really good. I think Yahoo has this but ain't they sort of like Google already? Plus, I'm not sure how much longer Yahoo is going to last or make similar changes itself. I'm sort of getting tired of switching emails every time I switch ISPs or there is a policy change. That is why I switched to gmail in the first place. No matter what ISP I use, I can still use Gmail. Yet, here I am again. Thoughts? Suggestions? Dale :-) :-) Long URL just in case the shorty above doesn't work. It may be broken tho. Copy and paste alert. http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/google-tracks-consumers-across-products-users-cant-opt-out/2012/01/24/gIQArgJHOQ_story.html?wpisrc=al_comboNE_b For an alternative search engine you should have a look at DuckDuckGo I've used it in the past and it has a pretty impressive set of features. As for e-mail I've heard good things about FastMail. Hushmail used to be a good one but I'm not sure how they stand today. -- t: https://www.twitter.com/mikankun b: http://mikankun.wordpress.com
Re: [gentoo-user] requirements for a gentoo wlan accesspoint
Tamer Higazi th9...@googlemail.com writes: Hi people! I want to make my linux machine being a wlan access point for my other components like Notebook, Cell phone etc... Now the big question, what do I need to accomplish this?! like a wlan router where I would get a WPA2 key, I want the linux machine to act as a wlan router who offers WPA2 encrpytion. for any response I would thank you. Tamer http://sylv1.tuxfamily.org/projects/tutorial-wpa2-access-point.html That should get you started. Configuring hostapd and dhcp are the main things you need to do as well as having a card that supports master mode. Hope that helps. -- t: https://www.twitter.com/mikankun b: http://mikankun.wordpress.com
Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg and Nouveau

I use gentoo-sources without proprietary BLOBs (gentoo-libre). http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Free_your_Gentoo /var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/525752/ /usr/src/linux/.config: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/525746/ lspci: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/525747/ emerge --info: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/525749/ /etc/make.conf: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/525750/ Cheers! Nouveau doesn't use any binary blobs so your kernel wouldn't be the issue. Has the proprietary driver ever been in use on your system and if so did you fully remove it along with all the modules? Another possible solution would be to try a newer version of xf86-video-nouveau and libdrm. The output of 'lspci -k' might give you a hint. -- t: https://www.twitter.com/mikankun b: http://mikankun.wordpress.com pgpXqHiWRokUN.pgp Description: PGP signature

What are you trying to say? lspci -k: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/528934/ Are you by any chance disabling KMS on boot? If not then I'm not sure where the problem is. -- t: https://www.twitter.com/mikankun b: http://mikankun.wordpress.com pgprzWg3YufNK.pgp Description: PGP signature

Well if you have a framebuffer and get output from 'dmesg|grep nouveaufb' it's a safe bet that KMS is enabled. Also make sure the kernel isn't being loaded with 'nomodeset'. If its just not loading on its own then adding 'nouveau.modeset=1' will make sure it gets enabled. -- t: https://www.twitter.com/mikankun b: http://mikankun.wordpress.com
