 Hi,

 on my way to the best window manager (at least for my needs ;) )
 I came across a lot of screenshots of themes.
 More than one screenshot shows something which looks like a
 system monitor a la gkrellm but it was painted plain onto
 the background / root window.

 Does anyone know, what application is used for this?

 Thanks you very much in advance for any help!
 Keep hacking!

  I am especially interested in your experience to get it working under

 I have always bought HP printers and they work very well.  There are a
 couple other brands that works well, maybe Epson or something, but HP is
 really good in my opinion.

 Stay away from Lexmark.  I have yet to get one to work under Linux.
 Unless you can find one that someone tells you works, stay away from

  First, ssh to the box without X forwarding and:
 
   rm ~/.Xauthority
   rm ~/.ICEauthority
   logout
 
  Then try to ssh again with X forwarding enabled.  It should work.

 Unfortunately I still get the same error.  I'll try to put together an
 xauth command, but does anyone know what happened here?  Usually you
 just enable X11Forwarding and you can use it right?

You also need ForwardX11 yes in your client configuration. Try ssh -v to get

 You are doing something wrong, as that exact same config works here. Do you
 have the kde-testing overlay installed? Did you emerge @kde-4.2 or emerge
 @kde? The latter will give you you the latest unstable snapshots which may

 may not work. Use these links, etc:

 Then copy the set file from $PORTDIR/local/layman/kde-testing/sets/kde-4.2
 to
 /etc/portage/sets, then run

 emerge -av @kde-4.2

 If you don't have the overlay installed, I can send you then files as

2009/2/20 Alexander Puchmayr alexander.puchm...@linznet.at

 Hi there!

 Is there a working howto of how to get the wireless connection to work?
 Its a built-in chipset, intel 4965AG, and it was working with kernel
 2.6.24,
 but I fail with any kernel newer. 2.6.26 had serious problems with
 rfkill-switch, and the only way for me was to unload the driver module,
 switch on the wifi-interface, load module again and then it worked. A
 little bit clumsy, but it worked.

 With 2.6.27 I entirely fail to get any connection at all. The
 wifi-interface
 refuses to accept any ESSID.

 So, is there a howto that describes how to get wireless to work? Maybe in a
 way so that I switch on the interface and no troubles with rfkill, etc?

 Thanks in advance
Alex


 Take a look at the old gentoo wiki. i think is in www.gentoo-wiki.info.
After kernel 2.6.26 yo have to change a couple of options and  start using
the open intel driver for that chip

 The same thing happens if I try as root.

 I can connect locally as myself or as root on either machine and
 manipulate tables in various ways. I haven't yet installed a firewall on
 either machine.

 I've set DEBUG=4 in /etc/conf.d/mysql on both machines, but nothing shows
 up in /var/log/mysql/*; only some startup debug messages. I've run tcpdump
 on the server, which shows that one packet passes in each direction,
 followed immediately by a reverse lookup of the workstation being sent to
 the name server. I don't know why nothing happens after the name-service
 request is answered, but it seems to imply that the workstation is refusing
 the request itself rather than forwarding it to the server.

 I can't see anything in /etc/conf.d/mysql or in /etc/mysql/* on either
 machine to restrict network access, so what have I missed?


 Check the bind-address setting in /etc/my.cnf - if this is 127.0.0.1 then
 no other machines will be able to connect to the mysql server. To listen on
 all available interfaces, this setting should be 0.0.0.0 or unset.

 Also check that skip-networking is not enabled.

 remove this option?


 Not remove, but someone (me for example) could make it =m ;-)

 In that case you just do:

 modprobe configs
 gunzip -c /proc/config.gz  /usr/src/linux/.config
 make oldconfig

 Why make oldconfig? Is not better just do make and make  modules_install?
make oldconfig only can give you problems i don,t see any benefict.. just my
person experience...

 I have never seen any problem with make oldconfig, YMMV, but stating
 it _will_ give you problems is simply not true.

 Sorry i forget something make menuconfig :P

  I'm in the process of installing Gentoo on a rather old

  I was wondering if there were any particular tips/tricks for
  getting the best performance out of such a machine.  It's to be
  used for basic word processing and a few games.  Hopefully the
  nVidia 6200 will allow OpenGL to run fast enough for something
  like TuxRacer.
 
  I chose XFCE for the desktop along with both Abiword and
  OpenOffice. I probably should have installed OOo from a binary
  package, but I decided to build it just to see how long it
  would take (so far it's at about 26 hours and counting).

 if you don't need any special features, kde+koffice needs less ram than
 xfce+openoffice.

 And installing ooo from source is unsupport. The build breaks all the time
 and
 you don't get anything from it. All it does is starting a second faster. It
 does not need less ram nor does it run faster.

Re: [gentoo-user] /usr/share/config permissions

 Hi

 What are the permission supposed to be for the /usr/share/config directory?

 On my system only root had access to this directory causing kdm to
 fail when it tries to run /usr/share/kdm/Xsession. I fixed the error
 by changing the permission with chmod a+rx /usr/share/config. Are
 /usr/share/config supposed to be readable by any user, or have I
 opened up a big security whole on my system?

 I saw a simular old bug about this with kde 3.3
 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/65392) where the permissions of
 /usr/kde/3.3/share/config/kdm/Xsession was wrong.

 I know portage-2.2_rc20 works well.  I have not had any trouble on mine
 and you may want to give it a shot.  It is still keyworded I think but
 it does handle the blocks very well.

 Your choice on whether to install or not.

 Did you try my suggestion?

   sudo /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart /dev/null 21

 did it help? (substitute net.eth0 with NetworkManager ;)

 It looks like all the output comes from this line in the init script
 (again, only looking in the source, so YMMV)
 start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec ${processname}

 try adding
 /dev/null 21
 to the end of it.

Hi!
about sudo /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart /dev/null 21 I tried this before
send this email, but the NetworkManager logs info and debug in the tty1
anyway, the only change is that i don't see any output in the terminal i run
the command.
about start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec ${processname} yes, i also
tried your suggestion before send the email, but with the same bad result.
I not sure but for me, the parameter console=tty1 i have in the the kernel
line i use in grub have something to do (i use fbsplash and fbcondecor), but
is not the only reason, i check sabayon linux which use NetworkManager,
fbsplash and fbconvecor just like the way i do, but NM don't do the same.

Many thanks for your help!
Cheers!

 what's wrong with output?  can you post the output verbatim?  I had a
