Maybe running programs in Xnest is sufficient to confirm whether it's your server. Ah, good test. When I do this the remote machine displays fine, so the problem lies with the server.

Also downgrading udev can be tricky, because it may leave orphaned files around (which seems to be the problem you are having with -103). A guideline when upgrading udev: - be sure to run etc-update/dispatch-conf and accept any file modifications for /etc/udev/rules.d/. The only file you should modify in here is 10-local.rules, and udev shouldn't touch it.

[gentoo-user] Has anyone been able to get internet through a phone via bluetooth to work?
I got it to work in ubuntu on a friends computer in about 15 minutes but
gentoo has something seriously wrong with bluetooth. I have tried
everything I can think of. Is there something I am doing wrong here?
Anyone have any ideas? I have checked and rechecked my configuration
files but can't find any problems. My phone seems to be paired, I can
ping it and find out what services it operates. But it seems you can do
that even when it's not paired.
When the bluetooth service is started /dev/rfcomm0 is created and should
be linked to my phone. Here is my rfcomm.conf

# RFCOMM configuration file.
#
rfcomm0 {
# Automatically bind the device at startup

# Bluetooth address of the device

# RFCOMM channel for the connection
channel 8;
# Description of the connection
comment My LG C500;
}
My DUN service on my phone should be on channel 8 (that what it shows on
other computers and this one) but I get the following error when I try
to connect. My phone does not do anything when I do this. But I noticed
that if I try to connect on channel 3 my bluetooth icon on my phone will
light up like it is prepared to do something. Only thing I can think of
is that bluetooth in gentoo (an older version than what is available I
beleive) doesn't support channel 8. But that just sounds stupid.
A simple rfcomm connect gives the following error:

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Good arguments to use Gentoo Linux?
In the US, I'm almost certain you wouldn't be able to get away with running Gentoo, and more specifically, Portage, the way you apparently do in a secure govt environment. There's probably a federal directive or regulation somewhere that prevents machines being run in govt organizations from using non-standard or officially unapproved technology and/or procedures, and for good reason... I've had Portage hose my Gentoo install twice before to the point that I could no longer run Portage, and I run stable, not testing. Using Portage you're putting yourself at the mercy of any Joe Schmoe with a proxy connection to a Gentoo server that wants to compromise your machine. Even most commercial organizations, for job critical computing, have administrators that establish mirror servers for software testing prior to internal distribution. It didn't sound like the OP was intending for anyone to do sys admin tasks with Gentoo either, I imagine that could prove to be risky using any Linux distro. We won't tell.

I know of many universities, not only from Brazil, but around the world, that use Gentoo. There are many security features in portage, and I believe Gentoo servers and mirrors have some security also, else it would be too easy to compromise thousands of installations around the world, and no cracker would miss this opportunity. Non-standard and officially unapproved technology sounds more like put someone in control of all tech used in the public sector of IT, more like antitrust than standardizing.

As I mentioned before, I don't think we are at the mercy of any cracker around by using Gentoo. Of course some level of security would be needed, any OS requires that, but lets not hijack this thread, as the OP was talking about DESKTOP installations. It didn't sound like the OP was intending for anyone to do sys admin tasks with Gentoo either, I imagine that could prove to be risky using any Linux distro. Yeah, that's one more reason for a Gentoo install. And just for the record, ANY OS needs sys admin tasks once in a while, if not for initial install, because of breakage, and believe me, I had my quota of breakage before using Gentoo. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?

I've encountered a few anomalies along the way, but I suspect most of them are cosmetic, and that some just need a documentation update. I don't think they are related to the tracebacks, but I mention them below just in case they are a clue to the deeper problem. (1) The portage file on the mirror was called portage-latest.tar.bz2.tar instead of portage-latest.tar.bz2 (2) Of course, from sarge I couldn't run mirrorselect. So I picked a mirror by hand, and it seemed to work. (3) At section 7.d, where I was supposed to zcat /proc/config.gz there was no such file. But the file I was supposed to create, /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-26 already existed, so I just used the one that was already there. This may have resulted from the fact that /proc was, of course, a window into the Debian 2.6.8 kernel instead of the 2.6.17 installer kernel. (4) When doing genkernel all I got the message mount: special device /dev/BOOT does not exist * warning: failed to mount /boot There was still a directory /boot on the intended partition into which I was installing gentoo, so I presumed it would use that one for /boot, as I intended, and just let it go on. (5) I found the installation of locales and keymaps. None of the available locales had UTF-8 in their names, even though some of the suggested ones did. Should I presume that the

[gentoo-user] Is there a program to log the memory consumption of just one selected process...
Hi, I want to trace the memory consumption of one selected process (threads and maybe child processes included). In WindowsNT and higher the Performance Monitor can do that. Is there a linux tool out there which can perform that feat, or do I have to hack a script which periodically looks into /proc and gathers all stats by itself?
