you may be on the right track there. I always thought you stripe the devices first, then make partitions on top of that, not the other way around. YMMV

Well yes that is the normal approach with hardware raid however this is using linux software raid. Although I have an onboard Promise 20376 raid ...

I've been thinking further about this and I think I might have an answer as to why this is. I ahve two partitions on each physical drive. One partition from each drive is used in a raid 0 configuration for /boot (md0) and the other partition for each drive is in a raid 1 configuration for / (md1 ...

As a web developer it's really handy to have several different version of the various web browsers installed on my machine so that I can test to ensure my web pages work with common browser versions.

Looking on here I see similar things have been discussed before:

This will handle ogg vorbis files aswell:

#!/bin/bash

for i in *.[Mm][Pp]3; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr ' ' '_'`; done
for i in *.[Mm][Pp]3; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`; done

Bump. So no one's got any ideas?

I just recently moved back to Gentoo after a years abscence. I don't often post here, usually only search and read.

I am currently running gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.3. I have a Promise PDC20376 SATA/RAID controller onboard:

No, basically just changing the diff tool in etc-update config to a GUI tool.

You can do that already: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php? ... pdate+meld

3 things:

1. Awsome idea, just what I was looking for.

2. You need to have dialog installed to use pfilter.

3. I get this when trying to emerge after filtering:
Press (e) to emerge, (f) to filter again (a) to abort: e

I emerged gaim-cvs onto a fresh gentoo install last night and the buddy list crashes everytime I login. Might have to look at rolling back a few days as above. This sort of this can be a bit of a pain when you just want things to work - one of the drawbacks of running gentoo I guess - I've learnt ...

If you have an itouch keyboard you can use the xmms-itouch plugin. You could try this plugin with other keyboards...not sure if it would work but it allows you to change which keys do what so it may be possible.

aha!

nevermind.

I've heard people saying that nautilus can do network browsing... by this do they mean browsing samba and windows shares? How is this done?

again.

Use alsa. Refer to the Gentoo Alsa howto. The driver you want is 'via82xx'. I have ALSA-OSS emulation enabled too, works sweet.

In your winex config change 'Managed' to 'N'.

I have this card and I run quake3. I am using the alsa drivers with OSS emulation (so essentially I have support for both oss and alsa). Sound works perfectly.

See the alsa howto for information on how to set this up. Your alsa driver will be 'via82xx'.

It is odd and appears to be quite random. Possibly it has something to do with the order that the packages are emerged?

I had a couple of random things fail during the emerge also. Just doing an emerge gnome again seemed to work. A lot of others appear to be reporting similar problems and repeating the command fixes it. I had to try a couple of times (different builds failed each time) but I got there everntually ...

Yeah, icon themes for nautilus are taken care of by the themes gizmo. I'm not sure if ScalableGorilla is available for gnome 2.2 yet. If it is I would love to know how to install it...

Yes I have the same problem. Quite annoying since I need the notification area for gaim.

Sorted?

hmmm... you might be right about the unmerge gnome thing. I like gnome so have no intention of removing it.

Depclean works fine for me... well it hasn't broken anything yet.

Cheers man. I'll try that when I get home.
