 By changing to a different fonts for the interface I can sometimes
 reproduce the warning. So maybe setting the font will help. You can
 also make that setting systemwide by putting an appropriate
 incantation in xpdfrc, according to 'man xpdf'.

 How to you control it via -font option?
 It seems to me I'm missing some fonts or they are not correctly setup.
 I've added these fonts to /etc/xpdfrc but it did not help. 
 

I use the font names given by `xfontsel'

Suppose I want to use 'times' family, regular weight, no slant, pixel
size 14 (just to make it bigger), I select those options in xfontsel
using the dropdown lists, and click 'select' (which copies the string
to the clipboard). I then paste the string, which happens to be the
 -*-times-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
into my xpdf incantation
 xpdf -font -*-times-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
and I get the chosen font for the interface elements.

You can alternatively set the X resource xpdf*fontList using the
method described http://xwinman.org/resource.php

(basically add to ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources the line
  xpdf*fontList: -*-times-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
 and restart X [? I am not sure if that is necessary, memory suggests
 that this file is only read when X starts, but my memory could be
 faulty])

[gentoo-user] gentoo-sources-3.2.0-r1 and genkernel

2012-01-06 Thread András Csányi
Dear All,

I updated my system and there is a new gentoo-sources version
3.2.0-gentoo-r1. I reconfigured my system to use this kernel and I
compiled the kernel with genkernel. But there is no compiled file
under /boot directory. Did I missed something? Is there anything new
in genkernel? Should I report it?

What I did:
- upgrade my system
- set up the kernel using eselect
- genkernel to compile the kernel

Thanks in advance!

I agree. But I strongly recommend going the OpenWRT route directly.

Proprietary access points, especially the ones supporting WPS, are security
threats :

http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2012/01/hands-on-hacking-wifi-protected-setup-with-reaver.ars

the WPS protocol has been broken. OpenWRT does not support WPS, so it
doesn't have the WPS vulnerability.

On the one hand, it's kind of fun and educational to have something
break in a novel way so that you can figure out how to fix it.

On the other hand, those things only break when you have something
important to do.

Why can I ping lo at ::1 and not eth1 at fe80::216:17ff:fe84:a7b3?
   
I'm guessing there might other packages I have to re-emerge with the
ipv6 use flag. But, I do not want to rebuild everything capable of

it doens't list ipv6 as one of it's use flags.

Any hints?

 I try to keep my laptop in good shape, and then do the unspeakable to my

 (libreoffice can't find libhahakissyournightgoodbye.so.1) I can always

My unspeakable things aren't open to discussion in this forum :-)

But I do have an 8-year-old dual-Opteron box that I can do indescribable

Yup.  The other option is to use -I to specify the interface.

I missed that the first time I read through the man page because I was
expecting it to be -i (I guess that was tcpdump).

 I've added these fonts to /etc/xpdfrc but it did not help.

 A while ago there was a font problem caused by turning off the NLS

 Do you have the NLS useflag turned off?
 
 For which package?
 I do not have NLS flag turned ON globally.

Try turning the NLS useflag on for your installed font packages that use
NLS.  Not all font packages use NLS, dunno why.  To see which installed
fonts use NLS:

OK, that makes sense when there are multiple non-loopback interfaces.
but it appears that even when there is only a single interface you
still have to explicitly specify which one of the one available
interfaces to use.

 Global-scope addresses don't have the same limitation.

 Also, for fun, try this:

  I think I've found one item so far that requires udev.  My laptop's

in turn, requires the presence of /usr/lib/libudev.so.0 which is a

emerge udev
move or copy the 2 files over to /root

It seems to me I'm missing some fonts or they are not correctly setup.
I've added these fonts to /etc/xpdfrc but it did not help.


A while ago there was a font problem caused by turning off the NLS
useflag, because some font packages honor that flag.

Do you have the NLS useflag turned off?


For which package?
I do not have NLS flag turned ON globally.


Try turning the NLS useflag on for your installed font packages that use
NLS.  Not all font packages use NLS, dunno why.  To see which installed
fonts use NLS:

#eix -IU nls | grep fonts


Aparenlty none of them:

eix -IU nls | grep fonts

It's not SSL problem, but SASL authentication failure.

Check the following, might help :

Interesting how having

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

instead of

127.0.0.1 localhost hostname
::1 localhost hostname

causes subtle issues.

And yes, that fixed it. Thanks for the link.

I think the SASL handshake appended the hostname somewhere, and Google
rejected all auth attempts from localhosh

But that's just some speculation.

Anyways, glad it helped.

[gentoo-user] No access to encfs-encrypted directory

2012-01-06 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

On a extf4 formatted partition I have two directories (beside others,
non encrypted ones):

.crypt
crypt

.crypt contains the encrypted data.

I then mount the encrypted partionas as root with

mount -t ecryptfs /home/user/.crypt /home/user/crypt -o 
ecryptfs_cipher=blowfish,ecryptfs_key_bytes=56,ecryptfs_passthrough=n,ecryptfs_sig=,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs,key=passphrase

(I blanked the sigs before posting)

This worked like a charmbut...

A local power fail switches my PC off while the encrypted directory
was mounted.

After rebooting I still was abler to execute the command given above
successfully, but two diorectorie below the directory 'crypt' show
like this:

drwxr-xr-x  6 mccramer users  4096 2012-01-07 05:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 mccramer users  4096 2012-01-07 06:47 ..
d?  ? ?? ?? .process
drwxr-xr-x  2 mccramer users  4096 2008-09-07 03:41 BlenderLostAndFound
drwxr-xr-x  2 mccramer users 12288 2011-10-31 04:16 NEWARCS
-rw-r--r--  1 mccramer users 0 2006-01-01 07:00 RENDER
d?  ? ?? ?? logdata


Trying to cd into logdata or .process fail.


Is there any chance to recover from this and if yes: how ???

Thank you very much for any help in advance!

Best regards,
mcc






[gentoo-user] Network configuration - Two ips one from dhcp other static

2012-01-06 Thread Nilesh Govindarajan
Well, the title tells the question clearly; how do I configure network
such that the first ip is obtained via dhcpcd and other is static?
config_eth0=dhcp static doesn't work.

As a solution I wrote a dhcpcd hook containing /sbin/ifconfig eth0:0
ip netmask netmask

Is there a direct way?
