[gentoo-user] OT: networking and libvirt
I am setting up a libvirt managed vm system on a gentoo server that will have a number of gentoo vm's - web, calendar/mail, ... Eventually I'll have two servers and migration will be needed. What do people who do this use for networking? - I have the native libvert nat working but I prefer a routed subnet and not nat. I used a tap and vde on my older non-libvirt system ... but it seems vde is not an option, but it looks like vlans, macvlan etc will work. So what is usually recommended and works for this scenario?

[gentoo-user] {OT} web-based accounting ledger
Can anyone recommend a web-based accounting ledger? I've been using gnucash but I'd rather it were web-based for multiple users. These look promising: * ledgersmb - outdated ebuild in bugzilla, requires postresql * phreebooks - seems well-regarded but no Gentoo-related mention of it via Google * tryton - GTK client, somebody went to town for Gentoo in the tryton overlay * openerp - in portage(!), requires postgresql hledger-web doesn't seem well-suited for use by non-geeks. - Grant

try:
emerge -Cv sys-apps/module-init-tools
emerge -1v sys-apps/kmod
and then try to update world again. kmod is a drop-in replacement for
module-init-tools, and it's what is used by new versions of udev. You
probably will need to keyword kmod.

[gentoo-user] udev-197-r3 update problem...
Hi Gentoo-users,
I'm just in the process of updating my nearly identical servers.
Some of them I updated without any problem. "Unfortunatelly",
right now new udev-197-r3 went stable, and so those servers
which I synced with portage-tree later want to pull udev-197,
and give this error:
---
vs1-sys ~ # emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse --verbose world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

So how can I fix this mess? I masked sys-fs/udev-197-r3,
now portage does not complain, but it is just temporary

Or should I "X -xcb -opengl -openvg"? (Keeping "glib qt4 svg" for apps on.) [..] I used cairo-trace to start some programs and it seems like programs can set their desired backend. There is a "/type" setting: /type 42 set (firefox, soffice, clementine, evince, opera, crack-attack, digikam, inkscape) /type /xlib set(firefox, soffice, clementine, evince, crack-attack, digikam, inkscape) /type /xrender set (firefox, soffice, clementine) I wonder what "42" is...

[gentoo-user] cairo USE flags
Hi list! I've noticed that there is probably a lot of performance to be gained from activating backend acceleration in cairo. It's just that I have no clue about the details: drm, gallium and opengl are all described as accelerating backends. Does that mean they are mutually exclusive or can I activate them all and cairo will sort it out? What does the qt4 use flag do? Is it just a language binding? Does anyone know a simple benchmark for cairo? Thanks in advance! Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
