 make nconfig (or menuconfig or whatever-config) select M for the
 module exit and save make  make modules_install will put the
 module into /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ then you can modprobe

 You should go ahead and install that new kernel and edit your

Cinnamon is very great. Also nemo, the nautilus fork of 3.4, because
nautilus 3.6 is a very big regression in manys opinion (mine too).

Ive had soo many problem with gnome 3 (mainly performance), so i
switchesd to lxde.

It felt like replacing an intel pentium 4 with a core i7

now i am using lxde within my gentoo, and cinnamon on my secondary
screen (linux mint).

I love cinnamon. But it is unusable in my opinion, because it is on top
of gnome3. they should make this working standalone! :))

On 10/15/2012 01:26 AM, walt wrote:
 I'm back in gnome heaven again, thanks to cinnamon-1.6.1 :)
 
 First I'd like to thank Canek for his generous help to all of us
 here who have been struggling with gnome-shell.  I'm sure I'll
 try gnome-shell again when it's more mature, but for now I'm
 sticking with cinnamon.  It's a giant step backward and I love it :)
 
 The newly ported system-monitor panel applet for cinnamon is what
 convinced me to switch -- it now looks and behaves exactly like the
 old gnome2 version.
 
 There are a couple of things you should know if you've never tried
 cinnamon before.  (These may already be documented in the gentoo
 wiki but I haven't looked, which is why I had to figure them out
 for myself :)
 
 Once you have cinnamon emerged, how do you actually start it? Just
 put this line in your .xinitrc:
 exec ck-launch-session gnome-session --session=cinnamon
 
 BTW I tried deleting the ck-launch-session. That broke auto-mounting
 of removable media like usb sticks, so I put it back.  I'm sure this
 will change rapidly when systemd becomes the default, but systemd is
 not mature enough yet for my taste so I'm sticking with openrc for now.
 
 Second, and very important for the system-monitor panel applet, is
 that networkmanager must be running for the network activity to be
 visible in the applet.  That took me a few days to work out :p
 
 Another big change in the panel applet is that you must turn on the
 Panel edit mode before you can add any other applets to it.  That's
 done by right-clicking on the panel.  Then turn edit mode off again
 before the panel will work as expected.  That's very confusing if
 you have to find it by trial-and-error ;)
 
 I'd be interested to hear other opinions about cinnamon.

you should try terminator, or guake if you want an alternate terminal.
i am using both in combination (guake in luman-overlay, has applied some
additional patches)

lxde/openbox is very nice. slim and slimlock are working fine in
combination with it. so there is no need for heavy gnome/kde desktops.

if you want your old gnome 2.x dektop back, you should try mate, which
is a fork of the last gnome 2.x stable branch. (there is mate-overlay) ;)

 KDE has a checkbox to enable/disable it, and it is disabled by default if

 Hi,
 I have always loved gnome more than kde or anything else. About 2 years
 ago I had to use Windows till about 3 months ago, and I came back to
 gentoo and used gnome again. But I didn't feel that comfortable and
 home, so I tried kde and some other desktop environments, but these felt
 even worse. I found cinnamon and used it with  gdm, what made me happy
 for a while. But I couldn't find an easy way to configure this system to
 my needs. I found no way to change the gdm background for example. I
 googled for a couple of days. So I tried to get rid of gnome, but I have
 some programmms, that use it. I use Openbox and slim now, I could
 configure it within half a day, and I'm happy now.
 
 By the way, I got used to tabbing terminal.in http://terminal.in
 gnome-terminal, does someone know a tabbing terminal without gnome or
 kde or something this big?

 Hi,

 Thank you Lukas for looking at my problem. The LSS-version of
 Nightshade is a clone of the official Nightsade version + keyboard
 shortcuts which can launch scripts, videos and music. Each key of
 the 105 keys has a special function and it is specially designed
 for a planetarium public show. With bluetooth modules, we can drive
 the show with a Nintendo Wii remote ; very useful.
 http://www.lss-planetariums.info/index.php?lang=enmenu=hardwarepage=keyboard

  I tried to compile Nightshade-LSS on Ubuntu-12, Linux Mint and
 Mageia2 via VirtualBox and i get exactly the same errors. So, i
 think it is not a Gentoo problem...but nevertheless very annoying
 :-(

 I looked at the Nightshade-LSS sources and it seems that the error
 occurs with the nshade_shared_memory.h and nshade_shared_memory.cpp
 in ~/nightshade-11.7.1/nscontrol/src I join the two files ; may be
 these files would help us.

 Thank you very much,

Hi,
I think google can help you making the first steps. There are many
efforts to recruit new open source contributors.
You will find many documents like this:

http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/How_to_start_contributing_to_or_using_Open_Source_Software

or this

https://live.gnome.org/GnomeUniversity

or this

http://redmonk.com/dberkholz/2012/07/10/how-to-recruit-open-source-contributors/

But if you are as lazy as I am, you will just browse to you favourite
open source tool and begin evaluating the bugtracker.

Another way is to simply use your linux and the software on it. You WILL
find TONS of bugs, or missing features in it. Just implement and fix
them and then post your patches to upsteam! ;)

This is the way I do. :)


Happy coding! :D

 Hi ,
 
 Thank you Lukas for your post.
 The Nighshade soft i use is a LSS version compiled for small
 planetariums by Yves Lhoumeau and Lionel Ruiz.
 I can only get the sources here :
 http://www.lss-planetariums.info/index.php?lang=enmenu=nightshadepage=nightshade
 The sabayon Nightshade ebuild is different .
 I agree with you, i very much prefer to install packages using ebuilds,
 but i am afraid i am not able to develop any ebuild...
 Sorry... :-(
 Some months ago i successfully compiled Nightshade with boost-1.46.1-r1
 ; but unfortunately it does not anymore compile even with the same boost
 version...
 
 Thank you again,
 
 Cheers,

 Hi,
 I always prefer to NOT install software this way into my gentoo. Instead
 of this I first check http://gpo.zugaina.org/ if there is already an
 ebuild or outdated ebuild for this piece of software. If not I begin to
 develop my own ebuild.
 
 In this case there is already one (sabayon-overlay). However, you should
 NOT add sabayon overlay into your gentoo box. I got some weird problems
 doing this some time ago. I think this shoul only be used in sabayon
 distro, but I dont know exactly.
 
 If you want to, I could copy it into my overlay (luman), which should be
 more safe not bricking your whole gentoo box.
 
 Yeah, I know... you asked sth. completely different, but in my opinion,
 you should better do this way...
 
 KLooking at you Problem tells me that you got a boost problem. Maybe
 wrong version you compile against?
 
 Since I am writing my bachelor thesis right now, I have only little
 spartetime, but if you want to we could try to make a working ebuild on
 base of the sabayon one.
 
 
 regards
 Lukas

  Hi everybody,
 
  Since a few months i have a problem about compiling Nightshade soft.
  Nightshade is a full dome planetarium opensource software.
 
 
 http://www.lss-planetariums.info/index.php?lang=enmenu=nightshadepage=nightshade
  Nightshade is not in portage so i have to manually install it
  (./configure, make and make install).
  make fails with errors :

  I don't know how to solve that problem.
  Have you any idea about it ?
  Thank you very much,
 
  Cheers,
