[gentoo-user] Intel(R) C600 SAS Controller
Greetings, I have a new Fujitsu TX150 here, with a Intel(R) C600 SAS Controller and an LTO4 drive attached to it. My kernel has support for isci, scsi tape, ahci and all the sas stuff ... but I don't get any st devices. Do I need SCSI_PROC_FS set? I just wonder ... thanks, Stefan

Upon reflection the whole script can be replaced by: emerge -uvD --changed-use --color=n --with-bdeps=y --quiet-build --buildpkgonly --keep-going world | col -bx | mutt -s world update y...@example.com That will give you a decent report of what is new, build binary packages, do it in parallel, and not recompute dependencies for every package.

[gentoo-user] about to give up on systemd and gnome
Hi. Well, I thought I was making progress with systemd, but my gnome session kept saying oh no something has gone wrong and would not work. Also, after such a thing has happened, all my consoles would keep using the last line to put every line and so I had to keep rebooting. And when I would reboot systemd would not behave the same way, sometimes it would hang at certain places, and sometimes it would go all the way through, but things would not start properly -- maybe a concurrency problem, but its hard to say what was going on. What a mess, but I guess I have a setup which systemd does not like, too much parallellism and no way to get things to start in the order I want them -- or at least none I could figure out! I am open to suggestions here, and I have a log segment I can put somewhere to illustrage the oh no problem, but I am getting tired of the mess and if I can find something which works with orca I will do that instead. Any suggestions appreciated. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici cov...@ccs.covici.com
[gentoo-user] iOS and Linux
Hi all. I enabled the ios use flag in make.conf, but what is the proper proceedure to mount the device so I can bring over my music? I am using Gnome; I'd imagine I'd have to emerge some kind of extension for nautilus. The device in particular is an iPod fifth gen, running iOS 7.1.

I've spent many frustrating days fighting the oh no syndrome and I found two very annoying workarounds before I gave up on gnome3. First, the file ~/.gnomerc-errors may give you some good hints. Many of my oh no moments were caused by broken xorg 3D rendering support, i.e. broken video drivers, etc, etc. Second, many other oh no moments were caused by $SOME_MYSTERIOUS item in ~/.config or ~/.local suddenly rendered erroneous by a gnome3 update. I found some of those problem items by renaming those two directories and starting with a completely blank gnome3 slate. If gnome-shell starts okay with the new tabla rasa then you can copy the old .local and .config subdirectories one by one into the new gnome environment until you can reproduce the original breakage. Repeat as needed.
