[gentoo-user] Running Gentoo infrastructure on MacOS

[Viktar Patotski]

Hi List,

I know that it's possible to install Gentoo as a dual boot on a Mac Book.
However I do like MacOs interface and it's power saving features. So, I
have a question: Is there any way to have MacOs booted, but use Gentoo
infrastructure (portage, packages etc.)? I'm aware of VirtualBox and
similar options, but is there a way to be integrated in more easy way?
Something similar to container based virtualisation?

Thanks,
Viktar

heh. I have all the themes installed and never used them :-)
I try various ones out from time to time and always go back to the
default...

Yes, I should have mentioned that. Perhaps I assumed that everyone who uses 
gkrellm also uses its themes. Mea culpa.

Note this in the rc file of the theme I use:

$ grep _font /usr/share/gkrellm2/themes/invisible/gkrellmrc
large_font = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-p-*-*-*"
normal_font = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-p-*-*-*"
small_font = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-80-*-*-p-*-*-*"
StyleChart *.font = normal_font
StyleChart *.alt_font = small_font
StylePanel *.font = normal_font
StylePanel *.alt_font = normal_font
StyleMeter *.font = normal_font
StyleMeter *.alt_font = small_font
StyleMeter cal.font = med_font
StyleMeter cal.alt_font = large_font
StyleMeter clock.font = large_font
StyleMeter fs.alt_font = normal_font

I once tried playing about with the fonts specified in there, but I didn't 
manage to make any worthwhile improvement so I put it back as before.

[gentoo-user] gnome language issue

[Raffaele Belardi]

I'd like to have the gnome UI and the shell man/messages in English while paper, monetary 
and time I'd like to see in Euro format.


Problem: the gnome 'language and region' applet only displays United States in the 
Language and Formats entries. There is no '+' to add new formats.


I have:
  LINGUAS="en it"
  L10N="en it"
in make.conf.

locale shows all variables set to en_US, and

$ locale --all
C
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
it_IT@euro
it_IT.iso885915@euro
it_IT.iso88591@euro
POSIX

Is there anything else I need to do to make the applet list other 
languages/formats?

I suppose that once the above is fixed gnome will set the LC_ variables accordingly; to 
see the same variables in a non-GUI environment I suppose I should also set them through 
the localectl systemd command, correct?


thanks,

raffaele

I'm doing so, too: I use the timers for backup.

You might want to also look at sys-process/systemd-cron as a bridge.
It basically generates timer units from your crontab and also runs the
stuff in /etc/cron.*.d/.  But, timer scripts also work just fine and I
do that for stuff that I want a bit more control over.


I don't suggest so. Services don't spawn session which cronjobs may
depend upon (most don't, tho). Cron spawns a session in the system
context. Both is not the same, so you should carefully decide which
cronjob to convert to a timer. Everything in /etc/cron* should work,
but timers are not a replacement for cron.



Thanks for all the hints, I'll test them in the next weeks.

I used cron mainly for backup scripts and log rotation, it should be fairly easy to 
convert to one of the above (cron session vs. timer) once I fully digest the implications.

In general I suppose the same holds for everything that was

I've put the hdparm stuff in /etc/local.d:

$ cat /etc/local.d/hdparm.start
#!/bin/sh

for device in /sys/bus/scsi/devices/[012345]:0:0:0/block/*; do
hdparm -W1B254S241M254 /dev/$(basename $device)

Make it chmod +x.

Then install the gentoo integration packet for systemd which creates
the proper units on the fly during boot:

$ emerge -a sys-apps/gentoo-systemd-integration

After restart, you should see units started for each local.d script.
It's implemented as a systemd generator. To see how it works, look at
"equery f gentoo-systemd-integration" and have a look at the generator
files.


Worked perfectly, thank you. gentoo-systemd-integration was already present in the system, 
I just invoked directly the generator script that it installs.
