Booting is so slow

Hey! I thought systemd was supposed to make booting fast!

Lol. It's just faster when openrc does it.

Dear khayyam,
dear XavierMiller.

You are talking about "community" which should treat people just the opposite of how you are treating me. Community is sharing and you are not sharing: you are just trying to put me away from here.

I do not know how old are you, since how long you are linux users and whether you did something real in your lives to support people other than being so nazi on this forum. I know that "helping people" means, you don't.

What's wrong in asking how to install a printer? If you ask it to me, I'll tell you my way to do it: if you want, you try it on your own following part/all of my suggestions and then see whether it also works with you.

You are treating me in a racist way. Maybe you just do not know how to help me: this is ok, just do not answer if you ignore the solution and let other people (less nazi than you) help me.

I do not want to waste your energies, you are deciding to waste your energies on your own: nobody tells you MUST reply. Just ignore the help requests that you are not able to solve and you save your time.

"Community" is intended to helping and sharing, not to say "hey you are black and I am white: we are different, just go away from here and ask other people like you to help you".

Just think it over. Such simple things show the way you are in your real life. If you do care about people, if you do care about helping the others, if you do want to live in a better place then consider being less racist.

I'm not telling you that because you do not want to help me: this is not the point, it is not just for me. In fact, I accept when somebody tells me "cannot solve your boot problems since Sabayon uses systemd unlike Gentoo". It is ok, you gave me an explanation related to the problem. It is ok, despite the problem has been solved with something not related to systemd but related to wrong UUID in fstab which problem and solution is common to ALL the linux users, no matters they use Gentoo, Sabayon, Ubuntu or whatever...

Do you know what I mean? Hope you can understand. Otherwise just leave the forum: community spirit is not for you.

So, back to the point, you have two choices:
- you explain the reason why in theory a problem cannot be solved in Gentoo (even if you may be wrong, as happened with the booting problems of above)
- you explain how you would do it the Gentoo way

This is being part of a community. Otherwise, just ignore the posts: what you are moving/removing could help other people.

Hope you could share your opinions here. The aim of sharing your opinion is giving me (well, give all the readers!) more reasons (technical reasons, possibly) why my problems could not be solved. If you do not know how to answer then just put the posts at their original place and let other people reply or simply let other people ignore: the thread will automatically disappear if nobody replies. No need nazis to kill the posts.

Thanks for reading.
Regards.

Hello,

Sabayon is derived from Gentoo but is not Gentoo. I don't care how Sabayon installs and configure stuff, but the Gentoo way can be different.

Our "community" is based on Gentoo, and this forum is to help Gentoo users. We could help other distibutions, but we are not a generalist UNIX users support forum.

Gentoo way is explained in the documentation, especially the wiki (http://wiki.gentoo.org).

I use Unix since 1991, linux since 1996 and Gentoo since 2004. Guess my age.

I don't like your WW2 comparison, as a moderator, I just stated that I don't like the way you posted, by doubling your chances using cross-forums posts, which is counter-productive.

As I told you in my previous post, you can ask help the Gentoo way, but don't tell you already asked in the Sabayon forum, this is useless.

Ok, so I will write back my posts asking people to help me the Gentoo way.
Thanks.
Regards.

With the strawman word it is you offending me.
As I said (maybe you should read carefully) I'm not writing since you are not able to help me, only me, just me. You should know that many users can read what other people write and apply what they read in exactly the same way or just take inspiration of it and consequently apply their own way. Don't you want to get involved? It is ok, no problems: just leave the thread there and let other people reply. If you are right, then nobody else would reply and the thread will be doomed to be out of everybody's mind in few days.

The fact that you interrupt the discussion has nothing to do with sharing knowledge: it has more to do with other kinds of topics as I've been trying to explain.
So, let everybody decide: put the posts in their own place and let time do the rest. Again, if you are right my posts will be completely forgot in maybe less than one week...

Sorry, but imo you should have taken the clear directions to ask Sabayon forums at face value, not simply ignored them as if they hadn't been written. That is just plain rude, afaic.

khayyam has already explained why your protestations about "community" are misplaced. You're twisting the word to mean "help me whenever I ask, no matter that this is the wrong place to ask, and even if I act like you don't exist."

Taking umbrage at "strawman" after you've called us racist nazis, is simply pseudo-offended posturing, again imo.

I hope you can find a way to move past your unfortunate approach to getting help, principally your inability to be told "no." Acting like a petulant child is something you'll have to work out, not us. Good luck.

Note: it's not about whether your problem would in fact a problem on another distro; that doesn't suddenly make it on-topic on every Linux forum in the world. It's about respecting boundaries, learning about a community before you get involved with it, and accepting that if you're off-topic, you should seek another forum. The latter happens on IRC too, and frankly you'd have been muted if not banned from an IRC channel, for your unfortunate decision to rage-slander regulars here, instead of simply accepting what you'd been told by several people.

It is a shame, maccabbeo, that you took the second chance that XavierMiller gave you and threw it away. It is now entirely up to you whether you can continue to attempt to participate on this site: either you can heed the advice given to you in this topic, or you can leave. Willingly or not.
