Re: [gentoo-user] Simple installation on BTRFS
I simply have @ and @home subvolumes. I use btrbk for automatic snapshotting and backups to an external drive and via ssh to another machine. For full disk encryption, I am not sure and would love some input on it myself. I am planning to install gentoo with btrfs over luks on another machine. My plan is to use luks to encrypt a drive or partition, then put btrfs over it and do things as before with btrfs. One thing I am wondering about is: what if I want my btrfs to span multiple drives? Would I luks encrypt each drive, then open each one before mounting the btrfs pool that spans all the luks containers? Would this be possible to do with grub and the initramfs? If not, my fallback idea is to make a relatively small root partition on 1 drive with the normal btrfs over luks approach. Then have luks containers for the rest of the main drive and all other drives all added to a btrfs pool that would be used for /home and any other partitions not necessary for booting I want to add in there.

I don't even know where to search. I tried to SSH to 'frozen' laptop, but as I wrote earlier - there is nothing suspicious in dmesg or xorg logs. Only difference is in 'ps' i.e. process '[kworker/u16:0-i915]' changed to '[kworker/u16:0-events_unbound]' and some other kworkers received new PIDs (like those have been restarted).

It looks like a problem with energy management/screen saver. I've tried to disable DPMS in Xorg config - that didn't help.

Re: [gentoo-user] To do list or bug tracker? Project management?
Hello, I can recommend Kanboard (https://kanboard.org/). I use it for my personal IT projects. It implements kanban way of working and is highly customizable. To track dependencies you can use 'Links' (probably a lot of task management application have this feature) and create your own types of connection. You can create columns, swimlanes, categories, tags and so on. There is a lot of plugins which add more functions and integrations with other services. But you need to manually install it (no cloud service), so you need your own hosting (or local server).

Volker's instructions work, but the overlay method is more complicated than it needs to be. You can find an easier method of applying the patch here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-794699.html This has the benefit that it works with all versions of X.Org and not just with 1.6.3 and you don't need a custom ebuild in your local overlay. Note that the patch we're talking about does *not* fix the CPU load on moving windows; ati-drivers are just too slow with this operation. It only fixes the resizing, maximizing and opening of new windows. Thank you. But i have question about this patch. Why ati driver is very slow in X.Org? Is it bug ati driver or X.Org?
[gentoo-user] ati drivers.
Hi. I installed gentoo. It`s very cool system. But i have problem with ati drivers for HD3850 agp. Proprietary driver have not 2D acceleration. When i moved window then cpu loads on 95%. Open source driver have not 3D acceleration and after system startup videocard settings falls to 640x...@60hz. When i enter to display settings then settings returns to my 1024x...@85hz. Help me with settings.

When i enter to display settings then settings returns to my 1024x...@85hz. Help me with settings. I don't know the HD3850 card. From the x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.10 FAQ 2. Which ATI graphics cards can use this driver? The ATI Proprietary Linux driver currently supports RADEON 8500 and later, as well as FireGL 8700 and later products. We do not currently plan to include support for any products earlier than this. Drivers for earlier products should already be available from the DRI Project or Utah-GLX project. Here, I have a Readon HD 3300 (onboard) and xorg-server-1.6.5 . Using the x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.10 graphics is really fast including googleearth. But, as noted earlier, these ati-drivers don't work with xorg-server-1.7.1 Helmut. I have xorg-server: 1.6.3.901-r2, and xorg-x11: 7.4-r1. Were is the x11- drivers/ati-drivers-9.10 FAQ?

Just list the modules that are causing problems. John Moe Hm. noscsi? I don`t found this option. No, not noscsi; noload. From the handbook: noload=X This causes the initial ramdisk to skip the loading of a specific module that may be causing a problem. Syntax matches that of doload. The module names to put in for X are listed in the boot sequence: ata_piix, ehci-hcd, scsi_wait_scan, etc. Read the whole section Booting the Installation CD in the handbook.

[gentoo-user] DontZap and Ctrl+Alt+Bs

Re: [gentoo-user] DontZap and Ctrl+Alt+Bs
I don't know but do fedora's developers have an very serious influence on Xorg development ? According to man xorg.conf, DontVTSwitch and DontZap both default to off. I can see the use for such options, when you don't want your users exiting X or even specific programs, but the default seems sensible. Is it just Fedora that change the defaults? Yes, this options is default off. And this means that Zap and VTSwitch is allowed.( no dontzap) If option DontZap is off that means that Ctrl-Alt-Bs should work. Nonetheless the option DontVTSwitch acts as expected but DontZap doesn't. As I think it is embedded into source or into default compilation options that we are forced ( if need) to apply some things which wasn't required before. As least if xorg is compiled with hal. By the way Ubuntu and Fedora have the package named dontzap. Why:) Regards, Nemilentsev Igor Email:trez...@gmail.com

Greetings, I'm having exactly the same problem and have been trying to fix it. Could you please specify where in xorg.conf you placed setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp Please enter it in command line. And where is the hal configuration file you inserted input.xkb.options terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp I have it in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ I just added. merge key=input.xkb.options type=stringgrp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll,grp:switch,compose:ralt,terminate:ctrl_alt_ bksp/merge
Re: [gentoo-user] Fetch Restriction: 1 package (1 unsatisfied)
I'm just wondering why this package (sun-jdk-1.4.2.17) came into dependencies? Sorry, I have no assess to my gentoo machine now and I can't find out the package where it came from. Sun-jdk-1.6.x.x is already installed and I think eclipse can run with 1.6 as well. Why do I need two sun-jdk's? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
