I am still running version 2.80 of the mplayerplug-in and it works just fine. Though I must admit that I had the same problem as Mark at the beginning. It came from the default video driver used by mplayer/mplayerplug-in which wasn't compatible with my video card.

It starts ssh-agent on its own if it isn't running. You don't have to start ssh-agent yourself if you're using keychain. Read man keychain to learn how to install it. For example, adding the following lines to your .bashrc will load 2 ssh keys and a gpg key. If the agents are already running and the keys loaded, it'll show a few messages. If they aren't, it'll start the agents and/or load the keys and then ask your for the passwords. keychain id_rsa id_dsa 0123ABCD [[ -f $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh ]] && \ source $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh [[ -f $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh-gpg ]] && \ source $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh-gpg > So i run ssh-agent: > bxl-openvpn-02 .ssh # ssh-agent > SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-bnrKl27579/agent.27579; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK; > SSH_AGENT_PID=27580; export SSH_AGENT_PID; > echo Agent pid 27580; > > but no password ask ssh-agent doesn't load the keys. ssh-add does.

That's why ssh-agent is started with ssh-agent bash (or whatever shell you're using) when it's not started in daemon mode. Using keychain, the agents are running in the background and the variables are set accordingly. -- Nicolas Litchinko BOFH Excuse #38: secretary plugged hairdryer into UPS -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hello,
Those scripts must indeed be executable to be executed.
$ chmod u+x canna.sh
$ chmod u+x japan.sh
will take care of that.
You can also create aliases for them if you're often using them (it
saves time).

I am also using canna and kinput2. Since I don't need japanese input in
all my applications, I'm using two scripts to start kinput2 and an
application with japanese input enabled.
This one starts kinput2 with a connection to the canna server
(canna.sh):
#!/bin/bash
export XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2'
export LANG=ja_JP.eucjp
export LC_ALL=ja_JP.eucjp
kinput2 -canna &
And this one starts the application you want with kinput2 support
(japan.sh):
#!/bin/bash
XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2' [EMAIL PROTECTED] LANG=ja_JP.eucjp
LC_ALL=ja_JP.eucjp ${1+"$@"} &
(the last 2 lines are actually one long line)
So, when I need to write japanese text in openoffice, I only have to:
$ ~/canna.sh
$ ~/japan.sh oowriter
And then press shift+space to switch between the different input modes
supported by kinput2, space at the end of a word if I want to convert it
to kanjis and enter to choose between the different kanjis available.
I am not using KDE nor emacs but this should work for KDE applications
and XEmacs.

I had to recompile my kernel to enable IPv6 support and add the protocol to /etc/rc.conf: PROTOCOLS="1 2 10" There is a good guide in the gentoo.org documentation about IPv6 [1]. It explains how to set up an IPv6 router but its beginning can also be used for a workstation (kernel, iproute2, applications, etc.) I am using btexact [2] as a tunnel broker because it provides a simple script to configure the tunnel.
