I think it all started when I updated to Qt5, so I guessed this is an upstream issue. I ignored user complains thinking a future update will fix this, plus the printer does not see much usage presently to have made this an urgent job. Nevertheless, it's been months now and judging by your versions I may have to wait longer for it. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[gentoo-user] Peculiar problem with root login
Running debian jesse in a vbox vm on a Solaris host I have what seems like an unusual problem with root login on this host. I've done the normal things one does to allow root login; that is, add PermitRootLogin yes to /etc/ssh/sshd_config Restart ssh, and in fact this host has been rebooted a few times since adding that Permit line. I set sudo up to work with no passwd for a certain user long ago and so I was able to redo root passwd just to make sure there wasn't some error there. Still, I cannot login as root user I don't mean at the main login screen one gets on bootup, but from an xterm in a running session. Of course, checked to see if Caps lock was on... I'm fresh out of ideas as to what else to do here. The log shows: Jun 11 14:50:55 d2 sshd[2830]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=d.local.lan user=root Jun 11 14:50:57 d2 sshd[2830]: Failed password for root from 127.0.0.1 port 54522 ssh2

It typically is not on my boxes. ssh has a -v option (and -vv, and -vvv). I found it somewhat useful in cases like this. -- Please *no* private Cc: on mailing lists and newsgroups Personal signed mail: please _encrypt_ and sign Don't clear-text sign: http://primate.net/~itz/blog/the-problem-with-gpg-signatures.html
[gentoo-user] network interface names in gentoo
Without tweaking anything in particular (as far as I remember), I get the "predictable" names. For example, on the desktop box where I'm writing this, the main interface is enp3s0. But, of course, there's no systemd on this box, and never has been. So, reading [1], I am somewhat puzzled: that page sure makes it sound as if systemd was responsible for the new style names. What is the mechanism by which they appear on gentoo, if not systemd?

Quoting from the sys-fs/eudev-3.2.2-r1 ebuild:
pkg_pretend() {
ewarn
ewarn "As of 2013-01-29, ${P} provides the new interface renaming
functionality,"
ewarn "as described in the URL below:"
ewarn
"https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames";
ewarn
ewarn "This functionality is enabled BY DEFAULT because eudev has no
means of synchronizing"
ewarn "between the default or user-modified choice of sys-fs/udev. If
you wish to disable"
ewarn "this new iface naming, please be sure that
/etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules"
ewarn "exists: touch /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules"
ewarn
}
and from sys-fs/udev-233:
elog
elog "Starting from version >= 197 the new predictable network
interface names are"
elog "used by default, see:"
elog
"https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames";
elog
"https://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/src/udev/udev-builtin-net_id.c";
elog
elog "Example command to get the information for the new interface name
before booting"
elog "(replace with, for example, eth0):"
elog "# udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/ 2>
/dev/null"
elog
elog "You can use either kernel parameter \"net.ifnames=0\", create
empty"
elog "file /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link, or symlink it to
/dev/null"
elog "to disable the feature."
Depending on which of those you have installed.
