It is called hijacking and happens when reply is used instead of new message. Agreed, but my mail reader (Evolution) shows his subject to be How to play flac files? which is a new subject. My mail reader shows Patric's original email to be a sub-thread of a previous email with a different subject, but I would say that this is a bug in Evolution, not that hijacking has occurred. 'flac' post has 'References:' field pointing to 'musicbrainz' post. Yes, it IS hijacking according to RFC822/RFC2822. Some programs do threading by 'subject', some by 'references'. The latter is IMHO better as it enables [re] [ot] and so on without excessive title parsing and doesn't thread independent messages with accidently the same title. -- Pawel Kraszewski www.kraszewscy.net -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-amd64] Processor Temprature
I have started using the athlon cool and quiet facility with cpudyn. However, ksensors show that the processor speed reduced from 2200 to 1 during low activity but the processor temprature remains at 40 degree C. I was expecting this to reduce. Is this temp normal? For anybody who has an Athlon 64 3500 - What temps are you showing. Thanks for any help Paul -- This message has been sent using kmail with gentoo linux -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-amd64] Re: doc index
Simon Stelling [EMAIL PROTECTED] posted [EMAIL PROTECTED], excerpted below, on Sat, 07 Oct 2006 12:53:13 +0200: I remember some time ago somebody on this list mentioned that our documentation is somewhat spread all over the gentoo site. I have updated our project page [1] to list all user documentation just on the top and all further resources in a seperate chapter at the bottom of the page. There is not more documentation then before, but at least you now know where to look for it. If it's not listed on the project page, it probably doesn't exist or is not amd64-related. [1] http://amd64.gentoo.org/ That was me. Thanks! It'll be much simpler to tell folks were to look, now. =8^) Two further suggestions: 1) Consider generalizing the bug-filing HOWTO a bit (beyond keywording), and linking it at the top under documentation. Gentoo's bugzilla needs a bit of extra hand-holding the first time or two, even for the normally pretty technically literate who may have filed bugs elsewhere before, and this should help a bit with quality plus encouraging them to be filed. 2) One more line under documentation, mentioning the further resources at the bottom, might be nice. Otherwise, looks great, and it's /definitely/ more useful for the average user than it was before! =8^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

I have deleted all links to this one as it is out of date and there is actually not much to do anymore. You can file a bug in a completely fubared manner, it will still reach us, thanks to jakub ;) So, I think this document is entirely deprecated. Sure, it would probably encourage people to file them, but then, at least in regard to ~amd64 keyword requests, we're hopelessly overworked. Most of these bugs are lying around for a lng time simply because it's even hard for us to keep up with the stablization request and normal bugfixing, which both have much higher priorities. 2) One more line under documentation, mentioning the further resources at the bottom, might be nice. Should show up with the next cvs-www sync. Could make it a link though because GuideXML doesn't use semantic anchors for the pages it generates :/ -- Kind Regards, Simon Stelling Gentoo/AMD64 developer -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

For anybody who has an Athlon 64 3500 - What temps are you showing. I run an Athlon 64 3400 with cool and queit, my processor slows down to 800MHz while idle and the temp is around 32C. Under full load it gets to 38C ~ 42C depending on room temperature. IIRC when I first built this rig, I had a similar problem where the CPU never cooled down. After a bit of research I determined I may have used too much thermal paste between the CPU and heat sink. After removing the old paste and reapplying a very very thin coat my system seems to run cooler. In the dead of winter I have seen the CPU idle as low as 28C (mind you my ambient room temp in the winter is about 17C). -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-amd64] Sylpheed-claws GPG S/MIME support (was: Re: Thread-hijacking)

Hmm - doesn't seem too bad (gotta love IMAP - 10 minutes and I'm up and running). How is the gpg/smime support? Obviously your message was signed - does it prompt for a passphrase or do you need gpg-agent running? Maybe I just need to keep tinkering but I don't see any obvious place to select a signing key (I did find the SSL cert directory - haven't had time to export/import those). GPG support is good, using the standard plugins built by default. It does prompt for the passphrase, no need for gpg-agent to be running. You can choose the GPG key used in Configuration-Edit Accounts-(Select Account)-Edit-Plugins-GPG. You can also create a new key there. I'm not as familiar with S/MIME, but sylpheed-claws seems to support it via extra plugins, either (in portage) mail-client/sylpheed-claws-smime or mail-client/sylpheed-claws-etpan-privacy. mail-client/sylpheed-claws-smime is missing an amd64 keyword, but seems to compile work OK for me, although it does have a note WARNING: This plugin doesn't handle sign+encrypt and encryption of multipart messages very well (yet). and This plugin uses the GPGME library as a wrapper for GnuPG. This plugin also needs gpgsm, gnupg-agent and dirmngr installed and configured. So that plugin is maybe not yet mature. I didn't really try the etpan-privacy plugin, as it conflicts with the standard gpg plugins (it provides both GPG S/MIME support), but maybe it's more mature. You can load unload the plugins you want or don't want in Configuration-Plugins. Grr - encryption must not be ready for prime time - it considered your message encrypted and consequently it wants to encrypt this reply (rather rude on mailing lists...) :) Odd... when I click reply to my earlier message, it doesn't seem to consider it encrypted. Did you double check the Account Privacy settings to make sure it wasn't set to always encrypt messages? I can't think why it would want to encrypt the reply. Did you try changing those options in thunderbird at all? They didn't seem to do anything for me, but they are supposed to work, and I'd be interested in hearing if they work for someone other than myself. Conway S.
