AFAIK There are really less contributions. You can always contact the PR of gentoo to get it forward. Gentoo is based on the community so everyone who can/wants to contribute should do it. I don't really have anything to write about. I just wanted to know if I was missing out the newsletters because they aren't be archived and that's where I tread them. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

[gentoo-user] Keyboard sometimes does'nt work
Hello, i've just installed gentoo with kernel 2.6.27-r8 on a fujitsu-siemens Amilo 1655G laptop and it works perfectly. But sometimes happens that the keyboard wont be recognised by the kernel after boot. So i looked at dmesg output. Normally the following lines appear, but in non working case they don't: input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input3 input: PS/2 Mouse as /class/input/input4 input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /class/input/input5 Maybe somebody had the same problem and can tell me whats wrong. I've added dmesg output for both cases.

Re: [gentoo-user] ssl + apache2
On Monday 02 March 2009, Kaushal Shriyan wrote: Hi, is there a step by step guide to configure ssl on apache2 on Gentoo OS? Thanks and Regards Kaushal The same way as you would configure it on any apache installation. The ssl USE flag comes enabled as a default. Therefore all you need to do (going from memory here) is to add: SSLCertificateFile /path-to-your.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /path-to-your-secure-key.ca (you'll need to create these two first) Then add: SSLEngine on under the respective (virtual)host part. If you also want it to listen on some obscure port rather than the default 443 then add Listen for the port number that you have configured for your SSL enabled (virtual) host. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I have a Brother QL-570 label printer and the ptouch driver doesn't seem to be available in portage: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Brother-QL-570 I tried to install it manually as instructed by the ptouch docs: http://www.diku.dk/hjemmesider/ansatte/panic/P-touch/ tar zxf ptouch-driver-*.tar.gz cd ptouch-driver-* ./configure make make install I then restarted cupsd but no new printers show up when I try to add a printer in the *:631 CUPS admin area. Does anyone know how I can get get a manually installed CUPS Raster printer driver working? - Grant
