Can the older dnotify do what you want? - it monitors files differently

Saw the news announcement that gnome 2.28 is stabilized - however
looking at the header of gnome-base/gnome-2.28.2 (only 2.28 ebuild
present) still shows ~x86 - do I have update problems or are there
delays?
Is this for amd64 only or has x86 just been overlooked?

I have a one-off number crunching job that needs a large amount of swap.
It is apparently possible to have up to 16TB of swap with an AMD opteron

With recent update to laptop-mode I decided to rework the power saving

Some time back I saw someone mention a way to get emerge to install an
ebuild with a bad digest - man emerge shows nothing so can someone give
me a hint. It was much easier than going down the ebuild path.
Also, I am in the process of rescuing a system from the

Yes, via an openvpn WAN link. It worked but the benefits seemed minimal
due to the odd mix of fast/slow hosts I was using (tip: remove any
slow/high latency hosts as it will slow the whole lot down). However, I
might try again sometime using pump mode which wasn't available at the

This is on a jetway MB with an onboard nvidia chipset so not quite the

A month ago I returned all my BTRFS partitions to reiser
2.6.37 on one machine, and 2.6.39 on the other - those two corrupted

Any idea how I can get the mount command to recognise exfat? It works
as root but not via fstab for users.
bunyip ~ # mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/tmp
mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'
bunyip ~ # mount.exfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/tmp
FUSE exfat 0.9.8
bunyip ~ #

outside interference? (usual is a microwave oven) - is there a device
closer to the AP that stays in better lock because the signal is strong
enough to override the interference?

There is a thermal safety setting in the kernel somewhere ... it used to
do this to me when a cpu heatsink came adrift ... but the cpu had to get
quite hot to trigger it (was on an Intel core2) so it was ok until it
tried to do real work ... instant off.
Try monitoring the temperature. Also, cpu

Hi, I have a mouse issue with the trackpad on a late 2012 macbook air.
In X I am seeing multiple mouse clicks similar to two drivers for the
same event. i.e., mtrack is set to 3 zones for the pad but a right click

up which de

For years I have been using ifconfig and some simple shell magic to
extract the ip address from the adsl ppp session when it changes. The
latest update has changed the output format of ifconfig breaking things
so if ifconfig cant be relied on, what's normally used to extract an

Hi all, I have a laptop keyboard problem - it fails to reconnect the
keyboard on opening after closing.

The keyboard connects correctly on bootup or resume from hibernate (when

Close keyboard (removes power), open keyboard and it no longer works.

Hi all,
I need to expand two bcache fronted 4xdisk btrfs raid 10's - this

I have been trying to find if btrfs raid 5/6 is stable enough to use but

I think you are looking for problems that are not there. Almost
