[gentoo-user] Conditional TMOUT variable

2008-11-30 Thread Mick
Hi All, I've exported TMOUT=1200 to make sure an absent minded colleague does not leave his console logged in as root and walk away. This has the desired effect - except that when I am su'd in via SSH it also kicks in and logs me out midstream whatever I have been doing at the time. Is there

I updated audacious and audacious-plugins from 1.4.6 and .5 to 1.4.1-r1 and r3, respectively. It comes up and seems to operate fine, but it won't play my ogg files. It doesn't even seem to try. I downgraded to 1.4.6/5 and it plays fine. I'll be testing it on mp3 files today, I hope, to see if i
