Been fixing (or applying patches from Frank Arnold) on some pretty annoying bugs in gnome-schedule after the release. But now it should be ready, and I will make a new release soon.

Started using OpenBox, it is great, I am getting more and more annoyed by the more and more heavy desktop environments. But they are handy to have to pick out the particular tools from.

Finally figured out why auto mounting stopped working.
gparted prevents all removable storage to be mounted while it is running, but removes this policy at exit so that the original settings apply. However if you kill it you have this file leftover making trouble.

After changing from Ubuntu to Gentoo I lost support for mppc, and the patch only works for kernels up to 2.6.13. I finally found that devil-linux has created a patch for the 2.6.23 kernel that replaces the native mppe patch.

$ cd /usr/src/linux
$ wget http://devil-linux.linjection.org/devel/sources/1.3/linux-2.6.23-mppe-mppc-1.3.patch.bz2
$ bunzip2 linux-2.6.23-mppe-mppc-1.3.patch.bz2
$ patch -p1 < linux-2.6.23-mppe-mppc-1.3.patch
$ make menuconfig

Go to Device Drivers –> Network Deevice support:
Check the PPP options, you will see the option:
Microsoft PPP compression/encryption (MPPC/MPPE)

Then compile/install as usual, and you will have the module: ppp_mppe_mppc available, replacing the ppp_mppe.

Unfortunatly NetworkManager refuses to compile right now.
