Unfortunately, many ebuilds go ahead and install translation files anyway. Developers seem to ignore this if a package only installs one or two additional files. For example, see this patch I submitted once: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275980 It's not the end of the world, but I guess what the devs are missing is that one file here, one there, it adds up in the end.

Hello, I have installed Plone but unfortunately it will not run. I believe this is down to PIL not being installed as shown when starting Zope in foreground. I have emerged dev-python/imaging but Zope still cannot see PIL. I think the issue is because Plone/Zope depends on python 2.4.

[gentoo-user] NFSv4 idmapd.conf
Hello, I try to setup a NFSv4 server with idmapd.conf and OSX clients. I have setup my /etc/exports with the share names and I can mount them from the OSX client, but I need a uid / gid mapping. The account data (user / groups) are within a LDAP server on the same host. I try to configure idmapd.conf for mapping the user ids, because I need this for two users on two hosts only. I have set this to the idmapd.conf [General] Domain = mydomain [Translation] Method = nsswitch<- I test this also with static, or "static,nsswitch" [Static] user1@osx1 = mylocaluser Mounting on the client works and SSH login works with the user data also. How can I setup the user mapping on my NFS server? Thx Phil

Thanks a lot to you all who tried to help me. It was a hard way to obtain the solution. The problem was really a hardware one, not the cable, but just the little box connected to the wall socket for my connection to the router through the house electric circuit. But the most important thing is to succeed :-) Once more a great thank you. Roger

Yes they are flashing. Since this night I found something important: the little box put in the socket wall from where the cable goes out, doesn't no more work!!! When I put it on my two other PCs they can't connect to internet. For this reason I use one of the boxes, which works, on my desktop. Between this one and my laptop pings are ok. The two PCs can recognize each other. But, on my desktop I don't have yet internet connection. Is the network card even so out???

Recent versions of fdisk require partitions to begin on a 1MB boundary; this among other things guarantees that there are no alignment issues with 4k-sector drives. If you really need to use fdisk for this task you can start it in compatibility mode (i.e. "fdisk -c=dos"). The recommended way of preparing the new drive, though, is to simply use sfdisk to copy the partition table from the existing one: sfdisk -d | sfdisk -L andrea
