Re: [gentoo-user] Wifi: Hardware out of luck ?

Re: [gentoo-user] Nepomuk is eating my disk space

I found that .kde4/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/data/virtuosobackend/soprano- virtuoso.db was occupying 12GB, so I deleted it and rebooted. Today it's already 3GB after only a few days. B.g.o has no virtuosobackend or soprano-virtuoso.db bugs. As it's apparently impossible nowadays to install KDE without nepomuk and friends, what does the team think is a good way to tame this beast? This is an amd64 box, not ~amd64. You could disable it(search for Nepomuk in systemsettings). That's what I did. Got tired of nepomukindexer spawning hundreds of instances of itself and eating all my memory...

Re: [gentoo-user] kde update

If I for example unmerge kde-meta then run --depclean, I bet I would get the error about system packages being removed. It may be because of USE flags but this was what I was concerned about during the last discussion. Having GUI packages, especially KDE, included in the system set, even if because of USE flags, is going to lead to problems at some point. Or maybe I am reading all this wrong? Dale I assume you have kde enabled on sys-auth/polkit, that pulls in sys- auth/polkit-kde-agent and sys-auth/polkit-kde. Thats all the qt-* and kdelibs packages.
Re: [gentoo-user] setting locale
Eh... Right, so ... The echo example might have been a bit blunt. I've found myself using echo examples as a general you need to add this setting here device, like you learn to do when you start using Gentoo, might have been a bit presumptuous of me. As for the incorrect locale string, copypaste from parent.

Re: R: Re: R: [gentoo-user] Install Gentoo from a Debian?
That's not my question, problem was adding Gentoo to grub2 config, it was'nt found by grub2-script and not added to the list. But i will see in a few minutes how it comes. Grub2 (or os-prober) can't find Gentoo installs. You have to add it manually or add a script that generates the Gentoo entry blindy.

I can't find any such package in portage though. eix gecko only finds dev-dotnet/gecko-sharp and www-plugins/gecko-mediaplayer. You should enable the gecko USE flag on app-emulation/wine.

Re: [gentoo-user] activating swap by udev event
tor 2010-07-01 klockan 15:49 +0200 skrev SpaceCake: Hi, I would like to increase the speed of my machine by putting some swap on a fast pendrive. It is working manually by starting a script swapon -s swapon -p -1 /dev/sdb1 swapoff /dev/sda6 swapon -p -2 /dev/sda6 swapon -s but, I would like to make it automatic by creating an udev rule, so when I plug in that device the swap space is automatically activated and the priority is changed. I've tried to google for a solution like this, but I did not find. Maybe you already have some script at hand :) can you please share this with me? Thanks Laszlo I tried doing something like this awhile ago. The problem I encountered was that I couldn't disable the swap once the the device was removed, swapoff couldn't find the device path(as it wasn't there anymore) but the system thought the swap was still there. So plugging and unplugging the swap stick got my system thinking it had loads of swap. But I didn't experiment all that much, maybe there's a way. Tricking udev to hold on to the device node until swap is disabled might be possible.

You need to have the udev rule or the script that it runs look at something specific(the swaplabel for instance). I'm thinking how can I instruct udev to turn off swap when the device is removed, but this is another story :) I tried doing exactly what you're doing now awhile ago and this is where I got stuck, swapoff needs the deivce node(path) to still exist, it can't disable swap without it. I could never get swapoff to run before udev removed the device node, so I ended up with the system thinking(or at least reporting) that it had loads more swap than it actually did.
Re: [gentoo-user] activating swap by udev event
I guess the deeper question (although entirely rhetorical AFAIC) is why would someone want to swap out to a removable device? Hot-pluggable swapspace. For various desperate and/or just-in-case scenarios. One might argue that if you find there you did it wrong in the first place.

Re: [gentoo-user] Constraining X display resolutions
måndag 26 april 2010 13:57:56 skrev Peter Humphrey: Hello list, My monitor is 1600 x 1200 but I like to run it at 1400 x 1050 (anno domini etc.). So far, though, KDE 4 doesn't remember the resolution at shutdown so it restarts at 1600 x 1200. I have to go through the rigmarole of setting it again every time I log in. I have raised a bug report but I don't suppose it's very high on anyone's list. Meanwhile, is there an entry I can make in xorg.conf, or elsewhere, to force KDE to display just the single resolution, 1400 x 1050? If you're using a kernel with kernel mode setting enabled you can add the video= parameter to the kernel command line in grub.cfg(or menu.lst). So if you set video=1400x1050, X will think that's the highest resolution it can set.
Re: [gentoo-user] aterm into kterm?
Now, at work, the machines run some custom version of linux and I am not sure what the terminals are. And I also often use the VT and not use X on my laptop, so I am disinclined to set TERM in .bashrc. Well, bash is bash, it doesn't matter if you work machines use X or whatnot. Add: export TERM=xterm to ~/.bash_profile on your work machine account.
