Hi list,

For the most part I would like to keep icedtea-bin-7 as my system VM,
but there is one program (jabref-2.6) which doesn't run well with

Is there a "Gentoo" way of setting this?

Hello everybody,
Does anybody know how to get acpi_fakekey on gentoo? Maybe there are
ways to mimic the functionality via other methods?
I wanted to make some more acpi keys working, but I do not know any
other methods than acpi_fakekey.
Thanks,
Ignas

I have just tried to send a file from my phone to my laptop running KDE 4.8.0
and it fails; the two devices never bind. When I set up the laptop it was
running KDE 4.6.3 and bluetooth worked fine. The BlueZ libraries have changed
substantially since, I think. Using 'hcitool inq' works fine, it's

Historically, when an update to portage came available, portage would
put it at the head of the list, build it first, then re-run emerge
world command.
I've seen lately that this no longer happens, portage updates are any
