With unicode you can use one encoding for everything and hence you don't have to autodetect it You can use app-text/convmv to convert your file names between two different encodings. If you run it without the --notest parameter it will only show you what would happen if you make said conversion.

On Wednesday 04 October 2006 11:38, Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote about '[gentoo-user] Disabling net.ath0 backgrounding': How can I keep net.ath0 from backgrounding at boot? This is ifplugd or netplug waiting until link is established before configuring the device. They are also responsible for bring the device up and down is response to link failure and reestablishment. Normally, this is a desired behavior because it, for example, only brings up your laptop's wired connection if it is actually plugged in and automatically brings it down when you unplug. If you want to disable one or the other for a particular device, you can add !netplug or !ifplugd to the modules list of that interface (see /etc/conf.d/net.example for details). You can also disable link detection entirely by adding !plug to the modules list of that interface. An alternative that may be closer to what you want, is to let ifplugd/netplug wait for some period of time before backgrounding. This still allows the interface to be started and stopped in response to link status, but when explicitly started, it will perform configuration in the foreground if link is detecting before timeout.

Short Answer: You can't. Longer Answer: You can, but it's hard. NFS for better or worse, depends on a collection of RPC daemons, which generally use the portmapper service to bind to a random high port. Fortunately, you can pass these daemons some options and have them bind to a port of your choice, so that you can let connections on that port through the firewall. Per my /etc/services the core NFS service binds to well-known port 2049, so I started from there and added some entries to /etc/services (not strictly necessary, but some applications use it for port-name mapping) and then tweaked my /etc/conf.d/nfs and /etc/sysctl.conf. After that, you should be able add some simple rules to your firewall. Here's the interesting parts of my versions of those files: [/etc/services] nfs 2049/tcp # Network File System nfs 2049/udp nfs-callback 2050/tcp nfs-callback 2050/udp nfs-nlm 2051/tcp nfs-nlm 2051/udp rpc-mountd2052/tcp rpc-mountd2052/udp rpc-statd 2053/tcp rpc-statd 2053/udp rpc-rquotad 2054/tcp rpc-rquotad 2054/udp [/etc/conf.d/nfs] RPCMOUNTDOPTS=-p 2052 RPCSTATDOPTS=-p 2053 RPCRQUOTADOPTS=-p 2054 [/etc/sysctl.conf] # TCP Port for lock manager fs.nfs.nlm_tcpport = 2051 # UDP Port for lock manager fs.nfs.nlm_udpport = 2051 # TCP Port for NFS callback fs.nfs.nfs_callback_tcpport = 2050 [/var/lib/iptables/rules-save] -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -m udp --dport 2049:2054 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 2049:2054 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -m udp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT Looking over things again, it appears that the options I've given in /etc/conf.d/nfs were added to /etc/init.d/nfs by another administrator.

Also, if you use the nfsmount service as well, be sure they start rpc.statd with the same options; I'm not sure why Gentoo doesn't have a separate rpc.statd service that nfs and nfsmount depend on. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgpdW9mOCsazX.pgp Description: PGP signature

I've been doing some reading on the subject, but I'm not very familiar with configuring mua's so I'm a little confused as to what flags should be enabled and which are better left alone until I grok this better.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - NFS and port numbers

[gentoo-user] gentoo box hangs
I've got a problem that makes me think it's a HW problem but I'm trying to cover all bases. Here's what happened: Last monday I did my regular emerge --sync emerge -uDN world all nice and dandy. After that, according to my log files anyway, I did not install a thing. I never rebooted my machine since, except that I think on Thursday it hung up on me so I rebooted it - that's when it started to freeze up on me randomly every now and then. At first given all the facts I thought it was HW problem. Right now I'm running Knoppix off the same machine and it didn't freeze up on me even once. That makes me thing it's an OS issue. To eliminate OS I did emerge -e system yet still system freezes up. I can do emerge -e world but I doubt it's going to help. To eliminate KDE problem I tried to run fluxbox with Firefox xterm - same results - hard freeze. Did anybody see something similar or at least some educated guesses are welcome.

You can set the tab title of konsole with something like
setkonsoletabtitle () {

}
For ssh I have another shell function:
ssh () {
setkonsoletabtitle $1
command ssh $@

[gentoo-user] Problem merging GCC so Glibc won't merge either!
Hi, Ok, last night I did the usual 'emerge --ask --nospinner -u world' which I hadn't done in a few weeks, I know bad me! So it's going along nice and dandy until it hits Glibc. It tells me Glibc is NPTL only! and tells me what to do. So I do that, then do an 'emerge --newuse --nospinner world' and it goes on its way happily merging stuff until it hits Glibc again. This time Glibc is complaining that GCC is missing or too old! Funny, since GCC was merged earlier in my first emerge run. Do a 'gcc --version' and find it's 3.3.6. Remerge GCC, everything appears to be okay, it says it merged it, but funny, nothing to unmerge. 'gcc --version' still says 3.3.6 even after a reboot. The new version I'm trying to merge is 4.something. Am I missing something here? Obviously since Glibc isn't merging I can't finish the upgrade process. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Heh, and then I find the setting: Settings - Configure Konsole - General - Set tab title to match window title. :p To be fair, I'd completely forgotten about that option and would have qualified my statement with that information if I had remembered. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgpMF0sDhZYIz.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Can anyone tell me where I've loused-up this apache config?
Steve [Gentoo] wrote: What's wrong? If you are using the default config that comes with apache, there should be a file in /etc/apache2/modules.d/ that contains a correctly setup SSL host. You may need to add -D SSL to APACHE2_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache2 to enable it. You shouldn't need to add SSL stuff to the normal vhosts in the vhosts.d directory.
