Misc fixes for start-stop-daemon with the --retry option, more wpa_supplicant fixes for ctrl_interface entries and we compile again on BSD platforms.

  • When I moved into my first flat share me and Awhile back, almost every gentoo / gnome computer I built would do this wonderful thing called "auto-mounting" all devices plugged in via USB.

    Well, I really didn't know what or how this was done until it started not doing it any more.

    So, I went over to my brother's house armed with a determination to figure this stuff out, and I'll be darned if we didn't figure it out (sort of)

    Here's what I found out (which may or may not be correct in any way shape or fashion, but what happened, definitely happened)

  • I had an entry in fstab which mounted the usb device to a directory.  This was hindering the auto-mounting process!  Don't have the entry in fstab.

  • I removed the entry in fstab, plugged in the usb device, and shazam!  A window popped up with the files contained in the device.



    • So, I guess I did something right.  I still have no idea as to the technical details of exactly what caused what, but now it's working, and I thought I'd write it down so in a year when the same problem happens, I can refer back to this.

    Hope it helps someone else.

      The Congress was organized very well, though the wireless was very flaky. The catering was priced OK (a tea was 1€) the talks were mostly of a very high quality and there were many interesting projects there that allowed you to see what they were up to (like OLPC guys, Debian, Gentoo and people building little helicopters). The whole atmosp
