There should be a way to tell the phone how to connect, but it's probably specific to each phone, although likely somewhere under settings - look for developer settings.

[gentoo-user] ssh key type ed25519
I tried to ssh to another machine and got a failing man-in-the-middle warning. The fingerprint given to check didn't match that of the target host. On closer inspection, the entries in known_hosts are *ecdsa-sha2-nistp256* and the offending key was of type *ed25519*, as reported by the client. These are both gentoo machines, relatively recently updated. Everything on the net talks about how to generate key files of the appropriate type, but I'm don't want to generate a key file. Apparently, this is a gentoo configuration issue. USE flags of openssh on both machines are the same. There are two news items related to ssh, but neither seems relevant. Has there been a changed system-wide determination of the key type and what would be the best way to make them consistent across all machines?

I was posting about how to get it to work. Hopefully, if someone googles it, they will find this thread and be able to follow how to set it up and it work. Since I installed this so long ago, it likely held the old defaults over from the past. It may work on new installs. Oh, I already had the sift USE flag enabled. Still, the defaults didn't work. Interesting to know some history about this tho. May explain why it was the way it was. Dale :-) :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] Hugin panoramic picture and auto control points.
Hi Dale, Hugin has a USE-flag for SIFT which pulls autopano-sift-C as a dependency: sift? ( media-gfx/autopano-sift-C ). The SIFT algorithm used to be patented [1] which could be a possible reason why the dependency was not enabled by default, though you might have to ask the maintainer for that. The patent is expired as of this year, so there is probably little reason to not enable the USE flag for you. "autopano-noop" is an obsolete wrapper [2] for autopano-sift-C which might be an artifact from an earlier hugin version upgrade. Anyway, good that you got it to work. Sincerely, Meik [1] https://patents.google.com/patent/US6711293B1/en [2] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/autopano-noop.1.html Am 2020-11-21 06:36, schrieb Dale: Howdy, I been using Hugin to create panoramic pictures for years. The automatic create control point button never worked. It always spit out a error about a tool missing so I did it manually. Time consuming to say the least. I recently took a few pictures and got tired of spending all night going through pictures manually setting control points. I decided to try and figure out how to fix it since all the programs and commands should be installed. I went to File, Preferences and then clicked on the Control Point Detectors tab in the new window. If you have autopano-sift-C installed, it should be the default. Highlight it and then click Edit. Find Program and then click the Choose button. The correct setting and path is /usr/bin/autopano-sift-c. The default I think was autopano-noop.sh or autopano-noop. When I googled, I couldn't find that command anywhere so no idea why that is the default setting. It took me a while to figure out where that setting was. Google wasn't much help. Once you have that set up, you should be able to add pictures and then tell it to Create Control Points and it work. I don't know how few use this program on this list but since I get a lot of help here, I wanted to post this just in case it will help someone who does use this and has the same problem I had with having to do it manually. Trust me, it is much faster and it does a awesome job so far. What normally would take me all night only took a few minutes with the auto tool working plus it creates a lot more control points. Hope this helps someone. Pictures makes memories. :-D I may post a link to some at some point. Dale :-) :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] Gnome mplayer replacement
On 20.11.20 04:32, Dale wrote: I been using celluloid a fair amount. So far, it is the closest to gnome player after a little tweaking here and there. A couple things tho. I like it to start in a specific window size. I like it as big as I can but not cover up my Kmix volume controls. I have Kmix set to a specific spot, right side, and then I adjust my video player to take up the rest of the screen. I then tell KDE to always use those settings by right clicking the top bat and setting application settings. Celluloid doesn't have the normal bar at the top of the window tho. I can't right click on it and tell it to use specific settings. I suspect this is made for something other than KDE. My other thing, I can't see the close button in the upper right. It closes when I blindly click it but it's not visible. I feel like a blind squirrel looking for a acorn. Anyone know a way to workaround those two things? The first one is really annoying as I have to right click the top bar and select resize to set it like I want, each and every time I open it. o_O You can specify an mpv.conf file to use in the settings of celluloid. Preferences -> Config files -> Load MPV configuration file See https://github.com/celluloid-player/celluloid#configuration MPV settings like fullscreen, geometry, autofit, force-window should work if you set them in the corresponding config. Thanks. Dale :-) :-) P. S. Never would have guessed celluloid was a video player. O_O It used to be called gnome-mpv... but was renamed to celluloid some time ago.
