[gentoo-user] rc runlevel act strangely
Hello everyone. I just buildup a new amd64 gentoo box using latest stage3 tar ball. After installed Gnome things, I used "eselect rc add" command to add some init scripts into default runlevel. The content of /etc/runlevels/default directory is: acpid dbus NetworkManager udev-postmount alsasound local syslog-ng vixie-cron consolekit netmount system-tools-backends xdm But after reboot, only syslog-ng vixie-cron net-mount and local started and the others had just been ignored, and I can successfully run the other init scripts manually after log in as root. Any advise about where I could check?

These are the steps I take in order to get usb tethering to work: 1) Plug the phone into the computer via usb cable 2) From the Setting->Wireless & netwoks submenu I enable USB Tethering 3) I wait until the device settles (just monitor dmesg) 4) After it's ready, ifconfig will show an available but non-configured device (usb0 in my case) 5) I run "dhclient usb0" and once it pulls an IP, I'm up and running. When you plug in your phone to tether it, do you see any error messages in the logs?

[gentoo-user] update-modules obsolete?
For some reason I've never before had to fool with update-modules because all my needed kernel modules just load by magic when I boot. Now I'm fiddling with a virtualbox gentoo guest on a gentoo host, and the vboxvideo kernel module is not loading 'by magic' in the guest machine. So, how to do it? When I edit /etc/conf.d/modules to include the vboxvideo module and run update-modules -f -v I see: "No need to generate modprobe.conf Skipping /etc/modprobe.conf generation (generate-modprobe.conf doesn't exist)" True enough, generate-modprobe.conf doesn't exist any longer on my ~x86 and ~amd64 machines. I'm running openrc-0.8.2-r1, baselayout-2.0.3, and module-init-tools- 3.16-r1. Which HOWTO do I need to read to get myself up-to-date :) Many thanks for any clues.

Re: [gentoo-user] Changing printing options from within application
Mick wrote: Perhaps I'm doing this wrong, but I can't change print settings from within an application, e.g. using Okular, FF, etc. I cannot change from colour to greyscale. I can only change these settings if I login to http://localhost:631 and change the printer default settings there. Is this how it is meant to work - what are plain users meant to do? PS. This is a networked printer. Are the users in the correct groups?

Therefore you should use the `date -d 'yesterday' +%Y%m%d` syntax instead of $(date -d 'yesterday' +%Y%m%d). Additionally, % signs are replaced with newlines. You have to escape them: `date -d 'yesterday' +\%Y\%m\%d` Hope this helps, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
