rasp pi headless setup
I tried adding the required info into /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf before first boot (as well as my pub key in .ssh/authorized_keys), but that proved insufficient to get it on the 802.11. It had been so long since the last time that I forgot about putting the wpa_supplicant.conf on the boot partition for the first boot. I'm not up on how systd does it; what else is required to get a headless rasp to connect? Thanks, -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6

Re: A reliable SIP registrar?

I had this list, but have not recently confirmed they are working: ekiga.net ostel.co sip2sip.info (proxy.sipthor.net) sip.iptel.org sip.linphone.org sipgate.de ostel may have disappeared. I've also seen some complaints about linphone on their lists over the last year or so. For sip2sip, check out http://wiki.sip2sip.info.

The problem is that the point of a key's expiration time is that signatures newer than that should fail, but all signatures made before the expiration should verify. So, if apt's signature verification only looks at the key's expiration date and not at the signature's timestamp, that is a bug. -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6

That is an issue with your terminal emulator. What do you see if you, in an emacs -nw session, press: C-q M-x Xterm's default settings can be a problem for M- keystrokes. Some other terminals may also have issues. Also, do M- keys work correctly at the bash prompt? (Or whichever shell you use) A quick test shows that my urxvt translates M-x into C-[ x (aka ESC x), which allows emacs to handle it. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6

SK == Sharon Kimble boudic...@skimble.plus.com writes: SK 32-bit, which is why I chose the go-mtpfs.x86 version. Sorry. I've seen a lot of misunderstandings recently between 32 bit and 64 bit. If the problem with their precompiled binary is dueto kernel differences between what you run and what they ran when the compilation was done, compiling it yourself should avoid that. OTOH, if the diference is between the kernel you run and the kernel they targetted when writing the code you may still be out of luck. The instruction in the README, as shown on the project's main github page, look simple enough -- and look targeted at debian -- that it should be quick and simple to try a local compilation. -JimC -- James Cloos cl...@jhcloos.com OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Fonts providing emojis?
JN == Jennifer Nussbaum bg271...@yahoo.com writes: JN That does, but requires me to know the answer already. I guess my JN question is, if i have a Twitter message with a rectangular box JN with 01f 1e7 in it, how do i figure out what that is? First, the hex strings are unicode code points. In this case, U+1f1e7. Searching for that string shows several hits and enough quotation to explain that character. Even searching w/o the U+ prefix works. http://unicode-search.net/ is useful for searching for characters by code point. Or by name. If you have miscfiles installed, /usr/share/misc/unicode.gz you can grep(1) through that file for code points or names (spell them with majuscules rather than miniscules), although it is too old for chars like U+1F1E7 REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER B. -JimC -- James Cloos cl...@jhcloos.com OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: AMD AGPUs, 3D acceleration, and linux-libre in Debian
The newer Richland APUs also should work, topping out with the A10-6800k. As for the GPU, I don't expect 3d will work w/o the binary firmware blobs. Even 2d might not work. And even if it does, there is still non-free video- bios on the apu, AIUI. (There certainly is on all discreet radeon cards.) You might be able to do a fully-Free-Software C32 or G34 board, but the on-board vga on those probably is not up to 3d. You can use a discreet card with the asus mb. Perhaps there is one w/o propietary blobs? Good luck. I'd be curious to know how it works out. -JimC -- James Cloos cl...@jhcloos.com OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
