TL;DR is that 'ffmpeg' enables ffmpeg/libav support, 'libav' adds libav dependency, '-libav' adds ffmpeg dependency. Alec

[gentoo-user] Both ssh and nfs.mount are sending an obsolete ip address
I just updated my older ~amd64 machine and I'm seeing weird behavior when using nfs and ssh services to communicate with my newer ~amd64 machine. Both mount.nfs and ssh are telling my newer machine that they are talking from an obsolete ip address :/ To clarify: my wireless router dispenses ip addresses based on some formula I don't understand, but it clearly depends on which method each localhost uses to contact the wireless router. i.e. does it use dhcpcd, or dhcpd, or some other method invoked by systemd or maybe wpa_supplicant? So, looking at the system logs on the newer machine, I can see that the older machine is advertising (somehow) that it's still using an ip address that *was* correct in the past, but now my wireless router has assigned a newer one due to some updated package (no idea which package). To be specific: nfs.mount is claiming that its clientaddr is the old address, and ssh is claiming that its rhost is also the same old address. So, how are these two different packages claiming the same, obsolete, ip address? Where are they getting it? It must be cached somewhere on the older machine, but where?

Re: [gentoo-user] eudev
James wrote: Hello So, I've been wanting to test eudev for a while now. I found these instructions in many places, so I have it a whirl: # emerge -Ca udev # emerge -1a eudev # etc-update # emerge @preserved-rebuild Problem is I had the 'udev' flag set in the make.conf, so it just reinstalled udev (216). so I figured I'd better ask about the convsion of udev-216 to eudev-1.10-r2 (stable) or if I should run eudev-2.1.1 ? Beside also removing the 'udev' flag, do I have any other issues or caveats? I'd like to also go with manually naming the ethernet interfaces under eudev; I have not found any specific docs on that either. Discussion and Suggestions are most welcome. James I switched a good while back so this may be a bit fuzzy. I'm running eudev-2.1.1 here with no issues. I don't have anything in my USE flag about udev and everything I plug in is managed just fine. I'm pretty sure your commands above is all I used as well. I don't recall running anything outside the norm. Basically, after you switch, the OS doesn't see anything different. On mine here, even the init scripts have the same name. I was sort of expecting them to change from udev to eudev but it didn't. If something is pulling udev back in, may want to add the -t option to emerge and see what is pulling it in. Hope that helps.

Be care with the bus and slot options to not take anything already assigned. Thanks, Nicolas. I also have a qemu guest win7 image, and the mouse capture works as expected when I run it with virt-manager. No idea why winXP behaves differently, though. I notice that virt-manager runs qemu without the -enable-kvm flag, and win7 runs significantly slower because of that. Is there some way to convince virt-manager to use the -enable-kvm option?
[gentoo-user] x2go unreadable fonts
I tired x2go connecting xubuntu (client) to Gentoo (server) but the fonts are unreadable, I'm using xfce Is it a problem with the client or the server? nxserver-freenx works perfectly on Gentoo but I couldn't install nxclient on xubuntu. -- Joseph

[gentoo-user] USE=-libav ffmpeg
Is this the best way to stay on ffmpeg? (USE=-libav ffmpeg) ? I intend to switch (later) but it's a bit of work/risk for my interfaced audio hacked/equipment, for now. Currently ,I have USE=ffmpeg. Updates seem to be pulling in lots of libav stuff. James

How does it work: client-side-rendering. Is there a solution on Gentoo. For me nxserver-freenx still works perfectly on Gentoo but I couldn't get nxclient to work on xubuntu. -- Joseph
