Re: [gentoo-user] Hard drive change

[mindrunner]

someone calls me stupid and dumb, because i am sharing my opinion.
this never happened to me on a dev-mailinglist.
I came here to help out gentoo users. not to flame war.
If I want this kind of conversation, i would sign in to gulli board or
some similar, but not gentoo-users.
so I thought, we are all grown up here.
Now I have to leave you again.
bye

Re: [gentoo-user] genkernel compile only one new module

[mindrunner]

Why exactly would you do this? Just because of saving time?
If you do not clean kernel dir, it will compile very fast.

Re: [gentoo-user] Hard drive change

[mindrunner]

i always use ddrescue for migrating to another hdd.
it is much more comfortable than dd and does not depent on file
systems, etc.
I always prefer copying on block device level.

Re: [gentoo-user] dual monitors and dual desktops

[mindrunner]

I am also using a notebook with an external screen when i am at home.
Till today I was not able to configure it correctly and comfortable.
(Tried with radeon and fglrx driver)

My wonderful working solution is One computer for every screen. :))
Connect all them with synergy and it seems to be one computer! :)

I am running a synergy setup with gentoo, mint, osx and windows8 and it
is much better than every multi monitor solution.

I know this is more a workaround as a solution, but multi monitor with
linux is crap, and synergy is a wonderful tool! :)))

Re: [gentoo-user] tun tap problem

yeah, saw this problem on my openvpn server today. i made upgrades a few

i removed symlink to net.tap0 and removed tap0 from br0. now server is

no time to investigate further now. maybe in a few days.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Gnome3 haters: you should try the new cinnamon-1.6.1

[mindrunner]

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) ;)

(happy to see some other german gentoo users! :)))

Re: [gentoo-user] Gnome3 haters: you should try the new cinnamon-1.6.1

[mindrunner]

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! :))

Re: [gentoo-user] Want to start open source development

[mindrunner]

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

Re: [gentoo-user] Nightshade compiling failed

[mindrunner]

Hi,
i stepped little further in the last hours. I copied the ebuild to my
layman overlay (luman) and tried to emerge. I got the same error you got
compiling your special version!
At the moment I am cloning the official bzr repository (>1GB) which
means waiting a long time at 1mbit DSL :(
When cloned, I will dig some more into the sources.

the error we get here points to some wrong usage of the boost container,
but i cannot tell any more right now.

what exactly is the difference to your ns-version compared to vanilla one?

I think just replacing version number and url should provide you a
working ebuild.
we can try this after compiling vanilla sucesfull.

Re: [gentoo-user] Nightshade compiling failed

[mindrunner]

The Link you postet is outdated. I copied the ebuild to my overlay and
will try with the most recent version.
Lets see if the Problem persists

Re: [gentoo-user] Nightshade compiling failed

[mindrunner]

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
