[gentoo-user] SIP client with bluetooth headset support?
My bluetooth headset was working great with twinkle, but now it's out of the tree and I can't find another SIP client that works with a bluetooth headset. Does anybody know of one? linphone is said to work, but I can't make it happen even after an exhaustive effort. - Grant

I saw that in the bug report too but, as I posted there, I didn't fancy
sedding about with the .la files (the suggestion came with a big fat

Re: [gentoo-user] I've been hacked.
looks like, your ISP has a Transparent Proxy Setup running. Should I be worried about that? No. Ports being shown as open does not mean that your machine is listening, more like the firewall has some holes in it. If the Really? I thought a service had to be listening for the port to be open. So from nmap, there is no way to tell the difference between a port that isn't blocked by a firewall and one that is listening? You're right - a TCP service does need to be listening for the port to be shown as open. However, a device in the path like a proxy may answer on behalf of the actual destination. ISPs can do this so that you will use their proxy without having to configure a proxy in your browser. Firewalls can block ports in two ways; 1.Reject the packet, that is, respond to the SYN with an RST packet (which is also what the operating system does if the port is closed) and not forward the packet to the destination 2. Drop the packet, that is, dont respond to the packet or forward it on to the destination.
[gentoo-user] xorg-server: Pressing 'down'/'right ctrl' keys yields newline
Hi all. After updating world, xorg-1.5.3-r6 to 1.7.6 among others, I'm now faced with a/m issue. 1. left ctrl key works fine, so does the down arrow key on the numpad. 2.

[gentoo-user] Nouveau and krandrtray
Hi, I recently switched to the nouveau driver. The notebook has a high-res screen and at work I also use a secondary (lower-res) monitor, to the right of the main monitor. And I want both monitors to run at native resolution. krandrtray works well enough, except when switched on, both monitors have the same content at the lowest common resolution. And I have to reconfigure it. What do I have to tweak to get KDE to remember my choices? -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

[gentoo-user] KDE 4.4.3 broke kmail/akonadi and VNC?
I recently did an emerge update world that upgraded KDE to 4.4.3 (276 packages). The emerge completed successfully, and I logged out and back in to KDE. I have noticed two problems so far: 1. I frequently use my desktop remotely via tightvnc and x11vnc, and now using the shift key to enter upper case letters and shifted numeric keys (!...@#$%^, etc.) no longer works. I cannot enter my password to login without pressing shift-lock for the upper case letters. Fortunately, my password doesn't require special characters above the numeric keys, or I wouldn't even be able to login to KDE. I don't know if this problem also occurs at the console, as I haven't been able to visit the physical site yet. Have any others seen this behavior? 2. Kmail starts, but does not display the contact list because it says the akonadi server is not functional. I had previously disabled nepomuk because its memory and CPU consumption were annoying. Now it seems that akonadi won't even function unless nepomuk is enabled. Are there any work-arounds to this? -- Jim

Is there an equivalent refitr in OS x86 ? I'm using GPT partitions and with the grub-0.97-r9 in Gentoo it has patches to boot from GPT disks. I just did normal grub install as usual and everything seems to work. I'm not using the partition label, though, but only root (hd0,0) Interesting. Does grub install its bootloader into the MBR, or in a GPT boot partition? I am not at all familiar with this new way of booting systems. I think basically GPT is a replacement for MBR, everything basically works the same way otherwise. GPT has features like redunancy, removes limits of MBR (no primary/logical designation anymore, no 2TB limit, etc). I think it has a somewhat MBR-compatible layout in the first sector so non-GPT-aware things can still partially recognize it. Am I right to assume that your 1st partition on the 1st disk is the GPT boot partition and therefore its 1st sector is what would on a conventional disk be the MBR? From the standpoint of the fake MBR table, I think you are correct. To non-GPT-aware utils it'll look like GPT is a partition of some type but when using GPT-compatible things that is completely transparent. Wikipedia has a good description of how it all works under the hood, check out the LBA-0 section of the article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table From a normal user's perspective, creating the partitions and installing grub was no different than with MBR, only I told parted to great GPT instead of MBR partition table on my new disks. Enabled EFI in kernel, used Gentoo's version of grub which has the GPT patches included, and everything just worked. Maybe I was lucky? :)

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: can't create file but disk isn't full
Willie Wong writes: When the filesystem fills up, services can start failing left and right because they cannot write logs, cannot write temp files, etc. At this point human intervention is necessary: root has to log in and clear out the disk. But if the $ROOT filesystem is completely full, one may not even be able to log in and/or that one cannot do any sort of maintenance that is needed. So you have some sort of circularity. (In which case you have to reboot, perhaps using another medium...) The way out is to reserve some breathing room for root so that when everybody else is having problems he can still get in and fix the problem. The 5% is historical from days when disks are much smaller. If you have a sensible partition scheme you only really need to reserve the blocks on the $ROOT filesystem. If the partition in question (IIRC) is only for /home, then you can just turn off the reserved blocks all together. Isn't another purpose of those 5% the reduction of fragmentation that occurs more when there is few free space left? Although I also reduce ift on very large partitions. But I never set it to exactly zero. Wonko

Your mileage may vary. The mouse drivers should be in that list. If not, then something is missing in your set up. As I think I explained, I have re-emerged *everything* installed that had x11 or xorg in its name. And the mouse driver was definitely there. That usually works so I'm clueless. I assume the mouse works somewhere else? I think you mentioned it working somewhere so I'm out of ideas. Sorry to persist, but the drivers usually have xf86-* in their name not x11 or xorg, e.g. xf86-input-evdev. (The category of those packages is of course x11-drivers/ ; i.e. x11- drivers/xf86-input-evdev) Other than that could it be a udev issue and some permanent rule for a USB type of mouse, which you should remove and restart udev? Don't know, just an idea. That's what I was thinking. I get this list using part of the command I posted earlier: [IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.22:0 [IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.3.2:0 [IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.4.0:0 [IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.5.0:0 [IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.1.17:0 Mine has xf86-* drivers as well. OP, do you have your setting in make.conf correctly? Mine looks like this: INPUT_DEVICES=keyboard mouse evdev I do NOT use hal so your settings may need to be different but you do need the line tho. Other than this, back to clueless. Dale :-) :-)

Reserving some number of filesystem blocks for use by privileged processes is done to avoid filesystem fragmentation, and to allow system daemons, such as syslogd(8), to continue to function correctly after non- privileged processes are prevented from writing to the filesystem. Normally, the default percentage of reserved blocks is 5%.

I can't recall the last time I needed to use MAKEOPTS=-j1, but if you do set it you can get back the time you lose by using the jobs option with emerge. That way you get parallel compilation, but of separate packages. Something just occured to me. At the risk of sounding paranoid, is there an absolute guarantee that... - if package A has dependancies Y and Z... - the compile for A won't start before Y and Z are built and installed This could be especially ugly for my new system installs. I usually install text-console mode only, followed by emerge gimp, which pulls in X and a whole bunch of other stuff as dependancies.
