for posterity, the final setup for me to get a stable br0 mac address is to bind it to the physical nic's mac.

hmm.. i just tried rebooting /w the mac_tapN stuff set, and it didn't work (things hung when sshd started up). removing them fixed things, and it appears things get randomly assigned anyway. ultimately, this was trying to get bridging to multiple vms to work, and it seems that the macaddr i set for ...

i have a pretty stock conf.d/net


# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,

to be clear, this is what we should do if we want interactive make oldconfig?

1. emerge new kernel
2. cp /usr/src/oldkernel/.config /usr/src/newkernel
3. eselect kernel set [new kernel #]
4. cd /usr/src/linux
5. make oldconfig
6. answer questions
7. genkernel --oldconfig all

i went ahead and made a patch to make the 4.1.1-r6 ebuild force python2, and updated the tracking bug, so hopefully it gets into prod soon:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413493

if you're too impatient, feel free to apply yourself.




i don't have the experience to make a patch for this ...

i had compile errors, too, but then i tried re-compiling again, and it was hit or miss that it would succeed for fail. i'm on amd64 with a phenom ii x4 945 cpu, so i was compiling w/ parallel make (-j5)...

i haven't tested since getting a good compile, but you should try compiling w/ -j1 or ...

at this point, it seems that people who want a "simple" backup script can go one of two ways. stick w/ the script i put up which handles most people's needs and can be hacked pretty easily, or if you would rather get all the bells and whistles right away (along w/ the configuration choices) check ...

truly... you'd think they'd namespace the functions...

so i noticed that on my gentoo box, python's readline support for tab completes and such is enabled by default. i googled around for how to achieve this (my other non-gentoo boxes doesn't have this by default), and everything says i need to set a script that performs the readline importing and such ...

hmm... it's not an alias... i grep'd for quote in /etc/profile* and ~/.bash* and returned nothing...

def not an alias or function...

so it seems that i stumbled upon a 'quote' command that's very similar to echo, but more retarded than it. i'm running bash-3.2_p39 ...

here's an example session:

i'm getting stuck on this now, but the versions in play are totem-2.24.3 and gst-plugins*-0.10.20....

exactly the same issue from 2007... :/ i've rebuilt liboil, gstreamer, gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-gio

back before the newfangled hald, hotplug, gnome-volume-manager stuff, i had my /etc/fstab entry for my usb cf card reader mount the media that was v/fat w/ the default permissions of 644 for all files.

now, in the new way of doing things, gnome-volume-manager mounts the v/fat partitions w/ all ...

it appears that i'm struck with this bug:

i can't create any addressbook, so i'm stymied from using evo to all its glory...

quick investigation.... how many of you guys have an addressbook in evo 2.0.2 running fine and dandy? if you are, did you ...

can you post your results when you do a

i'm guessing that they're not equal...

revdep-rebuild doesn't support ignoring packages, and probably never will :(

hmmm... how hard is it to read in a file specifying a list of binary packages and choose to ignore if a library is a part of that package? heck, the dilemma is the design decision to either to have the list of packages ...

30 megs/sec for a ata133 (133mb/sec) and 50 megs/sec for a sata (150mb/sec) drive isnt slow?

these are burst rates.. not sustained...

the key things for typical drive performance is buffer size, rpm, and seek time... (not necessarily in that order)

this was outlined in the ebuild of gtk+

is there a xine way of doing this? i wanna get my streams!

what if i want to synchronize /usr/ local /portage (a portage overlay)? i tend to roll my own ebuilds, so i'd like to sync this directory (and *just* this directory) between two machines.

rsync --rsh="ssh -C" -plarvz username@servermachine:/usr/local/portage /usr/local/portage

That'd do it ...

i got bored, and i made a perl version of the 2nd script... i think it handles things a tad better... i think..

you still need the rl script ... it's a handy script to have neway...

i wrote my own method for doing this... it does all the errors that could possibly arise (and ignores the ones that don't matter, like args > 2).

name this script "rl" and put it in your path:

# rl: randomizes lines

omg.. thanks! you don't know how long i've dealt with missing library crap.
