Maybe I'll remove them and see what happens. The last line is for Western European ASCII character encodings, just like en_GB ISO-8859-1, but with the Euro symbol and some other accented characters missing from the latter. Yes, I remember that, just not why I haven't ditched them since UTF-8 took over the world. Nothing will happen if you remove the last two entries, because (I think) that the UTF-8 character encodings cover all these. That's my uncertainty too. -- Regards Peter

[gentoo-user] epson printer
Hi, Ive just bought a new epson wf-3520 MFP and want to get it to print through cups over wifi for preference. Question 1 - do you have to be on the (same) wireless network to print if using wifi? (i.e., I have a complicated set of networks and want to print via a LAN to the printer on a separate routed wifi network - connectivity exists but I cant get it to talk to me.) Question 2 - what stanza do I use to connect? (ipp://192.168.41.72:631/what?/, or is it http?) This information doesn't seem to be available with ubuntu folks etc just saying it works - I suspect cups browsing on the same network) BillK
[gentoo-user] How can I find 2nd network adapter?
Hi Gentoo-users, I added the 2nd network adapteer to my gentoo-box and I want to use it. But... I do not know how it is called! ifconfig shows only the one adapter I had, called enp3s0. I remember some time ago I moved from human network names (i.e. eth0) to this and now I see the first disadvantage: while before I could guess new network name (probably eth1, eth2, etc), now I can not. I tried enp4s0, enp3s1, enp4s1 but I always get only No such device error. I checked gentoo-handbook but it works with those old good network devices (eth0, eth1). So how can I find name of the new network adapter? Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists! Everything else is considered to be spam and therefore deleted.

Jarry Here's the QA message for sys-fs-udev-215 that might be helpful: Messages for package sys-fs/udev-215: Starting from version = 197 the new predictable network interface names are used by default, see: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/src/udev/udev-builtin-net_id.c Example command to get the information for the new interface name before booting (replace ifname with, for example, eth0): # udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/ifname 2 /dev/null You can use either kernel parameter net.ifnames=0, create empty file /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link, or symlink it to /dev/null to disable the feature. You need to restart udev as soon as possible to make the upgrade go into effect. The method you use to do this depends on your init system. For sys-apps/openrc users it is: # /etc/init.d/udev --nodeps restart For more information on udev on Gentoo, upgrading, writing udev rules, and fixing known issues visit: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Udev http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Udev/upgrade
