Well, it "works" as far as it sets the key click value successfully (if you "xset q" you can see if it's set) but there's no noises made by my computer. Looking more at xset it seems it's really just for setting the volume on keyboards with built-in speakers (which I haven't seen for probably 20 years). Luckily(?) my keyboard is so loud it can be heard from the other side of the house. :)

Intel are active in linux kernel development and their linux drivers seem to be very good. When testing Intel copper gig interfaces on an intel firewall (HP DL380G5 8 core box), I was able to send a core to 100% with ~330Mb of small packets. The limiting factor appears to be packet rate, and the consequent processing of interrupts (1 irq to 1 core). I don't think that a 10Gig interface would pass any more than that due to similar limitations. Tweaking the e1000 driver options RxDescriptors, TxDescriptors and RxIntDelay pushed it up to ~350Mb. MSI was enabled so no interrupt sharing. So if you're running normal sized packets, you should be ok. Otherwise you way want to look at what irqbalance can do for you (I didn't try it at the time). Also don't forget stuff like Large Receive Offload in your kernel.

[gentoo-user] Problems with KDE & Flash after moving to dual adapter
Hi, I'm wondering what experience (and hopefully guidance) others can provide to hopefully fix these new problems on my compute server. Thanks in advance. OK, yesterday I added a second NVidia adapter to my machine and used nvidia-settings to create a new xorg.conf file. (Both new and old are shown at the end) The new setup came up easily and I now have 3 monitors. Here's the setup: GTX 465 port 0 -> GPU-0 + DFP-0 GTX 465 port 1 -> GPU-0 + DFP-2 8400GS port 0 -> GPU-1 + CRT-1 To get this working I had to enable the xinerama use flag as well as enable Xinerama in xorg.conf. Some simple tests of functionality: 1) glxgears is functional on all 3 displays but only draws actual graphics on the two GTX465 monitors. It draws a black window on the 8400GS. It is my understanding that this is expected. 2) Both Virtualbox and VMWare VM's work fine on all 3 monitors. If the VMs are running Windows then Flash, Java & Silverlight seem to work fine on any display. I can play NetFlix movies and run other Windows apps from within the VMs without any major problems so far. Problems: 1) Adobe flash within Linux is not working at some websites, such as: http://www.jigsawdoku.com/ For this page the flash game area is just gray. Flash does however seem to work on other sites like Adobe's web site so possibly this is more an issue with that page but I've seen a couple of others so far that do the same thing. 2) Two KDE features that I like quite a lot are not working at all: a) F8 - display all desktops doesn't work. With the original 2 monitors the feature worked fine. b) The upper left corner 'display all apps' feature is not working. I've been Googling around without any luck in terms of finding things to try in terms of fixing this, or even discovering that maybe these things simply don't work with two adapters. Maybe there are some accelerations or features I need to enable that nvidia-settings don't do for me? I don't know. Note that in the older 2 monitor configuration I was using Twinview which treats the two monitors as a single large monitor. Thanks in advance for any ideas about how to get this working at its best.

[gentoo-user] Wireless: deauthenticating by local choice
I'm on the road connecting to various wireless access points and sometimes I'm unable to connect and I get the (try 1) (try 2) (try 3) (timed out) messages in dmesg which makes sense. Other times I get a different series of messages in dmesg when I'm unable to connect which don't make sense to me. The interface connects, then disconnects, then connects, then disconnects, over and over until it finally decides to fail permanently. I can run iwconfig throughout this process and see that the interface periodically becomes fully associated with a good bitrate. I've tried iwconfig and wicd. The log looks like this: wlan2: authenticate with 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (try 1) wlan2: authenticated wlan2: associate with 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (try 1) wlan2: RX AssocResp from 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (capab=0x471 status=0 aid=2) wlan2: associated wlan2: deauthenticating from 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 by local choice (reason=3) cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain wlan2: authenticate with 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (try 1) wlan2: authenticated wlan2: associate with 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (try 1) wlan2: RX AssocResp from 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (capab=0x471 status=0 aid=2) wlan2: associated wlan2: deauthenticated from 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (Reason: 7) cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain wlan2: authenticate with 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (try 1) wlan2: authenticated wlan2: associate with 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (try 1) wlan2: RX AssocResp from 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (capab=0x471 status=0 aid=2) wlan2: associated wlan2: deauthenticating from 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 by local choice (reason=3) cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain wlan2: authenticate with 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (try 1) wlan2: authenticated wlan2: associate with 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (try 1) wlan2: RX AssocResp from 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (capab=0x471 status=0 aid=2) wlan2: associated wlan2: deauthenticated from 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (Reason: 7) cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain wlan2: authenticate with 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (try 1) wlan2: authenticated wlan2: associate with 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (try 1) wlan2: RX AssocResp from 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 (capab=0x471 status=0 aid=2) wlan2: associated wlan2: deauthenticating from 40:4a:03:d2:f5:71 by local choice (reason=3) cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain Does anyone know why this happens? - Grant

[gentoo-user] OpenLDAP works only at localhost, not from outside
Hi there,
I want to access my LDAP-data from anywhere on the internet but I only
get it working on localhost.
I installed OpenLDAP 2.4.24, and tried to do the tutorial at
http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialLDAP.html
The LDAP database works fine from localhost with
ldapsearch -vLx -b "o=stooges" "(sn=Fine)" -h localhost
but if I try to do it from the outside (ie. the IP address my router
gave me via DHCP)
ldapsearch -vLx -b "o=stooges" "(sn=Fine)" -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I get the output "ldap_initialize( ldap://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx )" and the
client hangs.
The slapd server prints
slap_listener_activate(6):
>>> slap_listener(ldap:///)
connection_get(17): got connid=1000
connection_read(17): checking for input on id=1000
ber_get_next
ber_get_next: tag 0x30 len 12 contents:
op tag 0x60, time 1314787890
ber_get_next
conn=1000 op=0 do_bind
ber_scanf fmt ({imt) ber:
ber_scanf fmt (m}) ber:
>>> dnPrettyNormal: <>

do_bind: version=3 dn="" method=128
send_ldap_result: conn=1000 op=0 p=3
send_ldap_response: msgid=1 tag=97 err=0
ber_flush2: 14 bytes to sd 17
do_bind: v3 anonymous bind
and hangs at this point until I Ctrl-C the client or wait approx. 5
Minutes.
Does anybody successfully installed an LDAP-service with access from
the outside? What is the content of slapd.conf?
Did I miss anything else?
Thank you for any suggestions
Johannes

Thats how I did it in Python:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import subprocess
soundfile = 'typewriter-key-1.wav'
def main():
window_id = sys.argv[1]
cmd = ['xev', '-id', window_id]
p1 = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
while True:
line = p1.stdout.readline()
if line.find('KeyPress event') > -1:
subprocess.Popen(['aplay', soundfile],stderr=open('/dev/null','w'))
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

I don't remember where I got the typewriter-key-1.wav file from.

Try nmapping its IP address to find out which services it has enabled. As Jeremy noted, IPP is generally a very good option, but any of the available services should work if you're bouncing through a CUPS daemon. -- :wq

There probably a number of ways to do this.
A cheap and easy way would be to use xev to monitor a window
and then pipe the stderr to a a program that waits for a
keypress event and then plays an apropriate.
A less cheap way would be to have our program do what xev
does instead of using a pipe.

[gentoo-user] Epson BX525WD
Anyone with experience working with epson inkjet printers? BX525WD is a multifunction device (printer, copier and scanner), and has ethernet, USB and wifi connectivity. Can I use it with CUPS? Do I need any special USE flags? I use the amd64 no-multilib profile. I am interested in its printing function in the first place. I looked at epson home site for drivers and it pointed to http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/download/lsb/epson-inkjet/escp/ where one can find binary .rpm and .deb packages for the diver, and the source code as epson-inkjet-printer-workforce-635-nx625-series-1.0.1-1lsb3.2.src.rpm I downloaded the http://linux.avasys.jp/drivers/lsb/epson-inkjet/stable/RPMS/x86_64/epson-inkjet-printer-workforce-635-nx625-series-1.0.1-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm file and used rpm2tbz2 to get the file: epson-inkjet-printer-workforce-635-nx625-series-1.0.1-1lsb3.2.x86_64.tbz2 Among other files it contains a ppd file that seems appropriate for the printer in question: Epson-Stylus_Office_BX525WD_Series-epson-driver.ppd.gz I guess I could use that with CUPS, but to connect to the printer via ethernet, what option (protocol?) should I select? CUPS web interface (http://localhost:631/admin/) gives me those options: Local Printers: SCSI Printer HP Printer (HPLIP) Other Network Printers: AppSocket/HP JetDirect Internet Printing Protocol (http) Internet Printing Protocol (ipp) Internet Printing Protocol (https) LPD/LPR Host or Printer Windows Printer via SAMBA

Is the kernel a bottleneck or your application? --- Ethernet (1 Mbit) Chelsio 10Gb Ethernet support Chelsio Communications T3 10Gb Ethernet support Chelsio Communications T4 Ethernet support Chelsio Communications T4 Virtual Function Ethernet support Cisco VIC Ethernet NIC Support Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express adapters support Intel(R) 82599 Virtual Function Ethernet support Intel(R) PRO/10GbE support Exar Xframe 10Gb Ethernet Adapter Exar X3100 Series 10GbE PCIe Server Adapter Myricom Myri-10G Ethernet support NetXen Multi port (1/10) Gigabit Ethernet NIC Sun Neptune 10Gbit Ethernet support Mellanox Technologies 10Gbit Ethernet support Tehuti Networks 10G Ethernet Broadcom NetXtremeII 10Gb support QLOGIC QLCNIC 1/10Gb Converged Ethernet NIC Support QLogic QLGE 10Gb Ethernet Driver Support Brocade 1010/1020 10Gb Ethernet Driver support Solarflare Solarstorm SFC4000/SFC9000-family support ServerEngines' 10Gbps NIC - BladeEngine

Can't recall them off hand, have a look at the Fluxbox website - I'm sure I saw them mentioned there. I also seem to recall scripts discussed in the forums>5 years ago. Thanks. I'll go look some more. I been there before but I was looking for other info so I may have missed that. Thanks again. Dale :-) :-) For future reference, this is a good link and it works. http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Fluxbox I ended up using the menumaker package. I also had to use the -f option to overwrite the already created file. Now I have the apps in the menu where they should be. Thanks much. Now I wish I had a better video card to fix the other problems. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
