Re: [gentoo-user] How to set up drive with many Linux distros?
Since this is a fairly custom task, I would approach it with a custom
solution.
- GPT
- systemd-boot
- One /boot partition
- One BTRFS-on-LUKS partition (formatted using the distro with the
oldest kernel)
- {@root,@home,@var,@srv,@opt}-{distro1,distro2,distro3} subvolumes
- Potentially {@distro1,distro2,distro3}-{downloads,documents,pictures}
subvolumes, if there's a usecase for that
- Bootstrap all the distros manually. Arch and Gentoo do that by
default, debian land has debootstrap, not too familiar with rhel
universe, but at the end of the day everything's a file :)
You could also write a script that keeps all the distros up to date
from within whichever one you're currently booted by mounting
subvolumes to /mnt or wherever, chrooting in and running the update.
You could also replace systemd-boot with efibootmgr to use UEFI boot
directly, but I would advise doing that after the everything is working
correctly as it's much easier to experiment using a good old bootloader
edit function.
BTRFS requires _some_ maintenance, but imho it's reasonable - run a
deduplication and defrag job on a scheduling tool of your choice and
you're good to go!

It really depends how you're setting up IPv6 on your local network. The easiest option is if you're using stateful DHCPv6. In this case you just need to set up your dhcp server to notify your dns server of any new leases. If you're using static IPv6 addresses you can create a static mapping between hostnames and addresses either in /etc/hosts or your dns server. If you're using SLAAC, however, the only option I can think of is to use stateless DHCPv6 to notify the DHCP server of your client fqdn which should then sync the record with the DNS server. -- Simon Thelen

That only works if you have dmix enabled and set all audio sources to use the dmix devices as the default audio device. If you don't have an alsa configuration in ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf dmix should be enabled by default, in which case it might be that one of the audio sources is grabbing the hardware device directly instead of going through the default device.

I've never actually benchmarked this. Most of the things I notice that tend to end up there are temporary build files generated during configure stages or temporary log files used by various programs (clang static analyzer). Even if the entire file stays in the page cache, it'll still generate IO overhead and extra seeks that might slow down the rest of your system (unless your /tmp is on a different hard drive) which on spinning rust will cause slowdowns while on an ssd it'll eat away at your writes (which you may or may not have to worry about). > But I see that tmpfs is the default with systemd. Surely they have a > good reason for this? :) Or someone decided they liked the idea and made it the default and nobody ever complained (or if they did were told to just change it on their system). Either way, it'd be nice if someone actually benchmarked this. -- Simon Thelen

Download inside `src_unpack'? git-r3.eclass has an EGIT_SUBMODULES array that you can populate according to the use flags, but you'll probably have to specify the main repo uri for A in both A, B, and C as the EGIT_REPO_URI and then just cd to the submodule in the ebuild for B/C.

Hi, I don't want to make your work bad. After thinking it over I think it is actually a useful script, because it adds a little bit more security to editing the package.use file (I'm always fearing the day when I'm writing echo stuff /etc/portage/package.use). But do you know that package.use can also be a directory which can contain several files storing the use flags? Geralt.

Re: [gentoo-user] kde-base/kde-env Block kdelibs-SOLVED
i sync it for the latest portage. kde-base/kde-envebuild not in that portage.so how to unmerge it?

That only removed the database entry for kde-env, not kde-env itself. The correct solution was to emerge --unmerge kde-env. It doesn't matter that the ebuild is no longer in the portage tree, because portage stores a copy of the ebuild used to install a package in /var/db/pkg and uses that to unmerge. -- Neil Bothwick Rainbows are just to look at, not to really understand. --- Thanks Regards, AIT Gentoo User -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Hello Harry, the developers are currently in the process of switching to a modular X server. This is a big change which is known to break stuff. You should, however, be fine as long as you do use stable packages. See also the latest Gentoo Newsletter at http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20060130-newsletter.xml which also contains a migration guide. Editing files under /usr/portage is Not What You Want To Do (TM). The changes will be destroyed the next time you do emerge --sync. Rather go to /etc/portage and create package.mask/.use/.keywords... Hope I could be of help. Johnny -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Problems with vchkpw
I'm trying to setup a new mailserver with qmail and vpopmail. I've installed both, and have setup user accounts. I'm running into problems when trying to test the setup to make sure things are working. Running this command: printf [EMAIL PROTECTED] | vchkpw `which id` 30 yields this result: uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel),11(floppy),2 0(dialout),26(tape),27(video) I run the same command on a working server and get this: uid=89(vpopmail) gid=89(vpopmail) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel),11(floppy),2 0(dialout),26(tape),27(video),35(games) I can't authenticate any users on the new server. My best guess is that the discrepancy between the two is the source of the problem. Some extra information: Both servers are running Gentoo Linux. The server with the problem is running kernel 2.6.10. The working server is running kernel 2.4.26 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
