Re: [gentoo-user] Emerge load again

u would see only up to 30 jobs listed in top, with individual package processes alternating in the top list of make threads. Here's my hypothesis explaining your own observation with libreoffice. As a package or more finished emerging, libreoffice's turn comes up. Soon libreoffice starts

Re: [gentoo-user] Hard to find netiquette, enculturation bug. (Was: Re: [gentoo-user] GNOME: Cant logout and Lock Screen is showing different background from GNOME screensaver)

like yours, my first working hypothesis would be that gentoo-user is a lousy place to ask Gnome questions. Look here, I perfectly agree with you on the issue that you brought up: I think there should be an FAQ/Netiquette page for the list. But not for the same motivation as you: I believe your case

Re: [gentoo-user] Fwd: FontForge needs conversion from ISO-8859-1 to UCS2 - iconv (glibc-2.3.5-r2) does not support it on amd64

$ iconv --from-code ISO-8859-1 --to-code UNICODE /dev/null Assuming that no output means the conversions suceed shows that it does have something to do with iconv originally loading a wrong module. So it seems that your hypothesis is right. I thought of this before, when I was looking at the gconv

info, to the point of getting the vague irritating error message: file not found. It's the time taken to set up logging facilities, on the (false) hypothesis that it couldn't find a logging file. It's the time taken to post my problem on comp.os.linux.setup, and fail to get an answer there. It's

[gentoo-user] Re: Gentoo's future directtion ?

a transient plan where we take something very broken areas at Gentoo (games or java or sys-cluster) and test out your hypothesis for package development expansion? In fact, I've been looking over quite a few ebuilds and pkgbuilds at (Arch linux). [2] I see quite a lot of commonality. So, why can we

Re: [gentoo-user] Enable "regular" network traffic when using VPN

route tables Hilco has provided. My not-yet-awake brain doesn't see the inverse issue that you're referring to. But I'm used to dealing with VPNs, so maybe something is instinctive for me. Hmm ... prompted by your question in this post I had to give it a second thought, and I've come up with this h

. You can draw your conclusions about this. I drew mine: small changes will not get us out of here. I think the jury is still out. So, why can't we test a transient plan where we take something very broken areas at Gentoo (games or java or sys-cluster) and test out your hypothesis for package
