 Does anyone know what else might cause this?

leonid,
i got this response from the forums:
Since it's a print preview, the file is stored in /tmp, which okular
doesn't like.  You need to move the file or get another viewer program
for it to work, unless there is a setting in okular that can fix this.
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=74026

however, it makes no sense to me that okular won't like /tmp since i
thought /tmp was supposed to be used for just such a purpose by
programs. nor could i find anything in okular options to make a change.

 Knowing your known_hosts, if someone hacks one account they, in
 essence, hack all of them - assuming you have ssh keys setup (or use
 the same password everywhere), they now have a list of where your key
 works

ok i see the idea. so it all boils down to being able to crack one
account first though. the known_hosts just tells you what the others
locations are.

however, having access to the known_hosts doesn't make it possible to
crack anything right, because the actual key is stored elsewhere.

i just looked at the known_hosts file (not encrypted) and saw that each
entry has a ssh-rsa portion to it. that has no relation to the rsa keys
i generate with ssh-keygen, so what purpose does it serve? there is no
manpage for known_hosts, so is there some doc that can explain the
structure of this file?

[arch-general] bash remote host completion gone

2009-06-16 Thread prad
i had remote host completion:
ssh hostna[tab]
with my original debian .bashrc file.

now with a new arch install it is gone and setting this
export HOSTFILE=$HOME/.hosts
doesn't bring it back even when i put the hostnames from /etc/hosts
into that file.

bash-completion is there and working just fine - except for the remote
host completion.

how can i get the remote hostnames to complete using [tab] again?

 Additionally, you probably want to delete any hashed lines so they can
 be regenerated later.

that did it!

i tried what aaron suggested last night actually and just now, but it
never occurred to be that the known_hosts file was already hashed and
therefore changing HashKnownHosts to 'no' wouldn't help until i deleted
the file and started over again.

this is also much better because i can remove a specific host by name
rather than using ssh-keygen -R, which would remove one of the hashed
lines, but i'd have to go in manually to do the other.

thx aaron and daenyth!!

 Did you disable DRM support in Okular?

pierre,
checking or unchecking the 
Obey DRM limitations box
has no effect.

is there another way to disable DRM?

[arch-general] emacs toolbar icons disappeared

2009-06-10 Thread prad
problem on kdemod - blank icons with little x's in them.
the usual icons just disappeared suddenly.
reinstalling emacs didn't bring them back.

this issue was brought up on the archlinux forums:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69825

but no resolution seemed to be reached.
