i think it's more of a matter of personal burnout. quite often i find myself tired or having to build software that i just want to try out, or fixing linking problems after certain upgrades. Yeah, I have the same feeling. I got tired a few times of breakages or just not having the energy. But in ...

My last install was in August last year, using the "SysRescueCD" method on a Core i7. No problems.

I agree about the make menuconfig - just too many things to think about. I used to compile kernels by hand (how else could you get the cdrom interface on the sound card to work ;) ) but have gone over ...

Right, sorry, I misread that,

Wasn't the OTW postcount deducted? I remember going back a number of posts when this was implemented,

Hi,

I thought I solved this problem years ago, but I guess not.

I have just installed motion 3.2.11.1 and I'am using it with and old Philips webcam (Philips PCVC730K WebCam [pwc]). The image is flipped horizontally, and I don't know how to flip it back. I can do it when playing back the avi's it ...

Which DE/WM are you running? I had the same problem, which I could solve by setting the keyboard also to Swedish in the keyboard settings of XFCE.

Maybe something like that works in your case too,

maybe you could run a few lines of sed over it? still think perl would handle it more gracefully, since you could easily load the whole page into a scalar, remove all but TD tags, then remove all but what's between remaining tags Doesn't perl even have decent HTML parsers? That would make it even ...

What's wrong with having them in the world file? That way they get updated.

Otherwise, unmerge them, and "emerge -1" them again :)

You could still run both client and server on the same computer. The advantage would also be a nice separation of the different groups from the main thread, and make it more easily extensible. But that's maybe not required at all :)

-peter

Another variation: a client/server solution, with the different groups running on different computers, connecting to the one running the main thread/program. (Could even run on one computer, but then you'll have the same performance problems).

The lspci -k clearly shows the Ricoh device is a card reader. I'm sorry about this, I wasn't expecting a card reader so I just didn't put two and two together. Us intermediate/novices must be a real pain to you. Don't worry, we have all been novices at one time! Besides, some (me :) ) still fail to ...

I guess the problem is with my kernel build. I will just have to blanket bomb all possible drivers and see what happens unless anyone has any ideas of how to use a working Knoppix to find what I need for Gentoo. You can also try to build a new kernel with genkernel, and go from there. IIRC, that ...

7) "versionless", by that I mean, provided you update regularly you don't have to worry about a 'Gentoo 12' is out, I'll have to update, time to backup my data and reinstall the system. Yeah, that is one of my main reasons.

That, and I just think it is fun to maintain a Gentoo system. With the ...

A bit of a sideways aswer, but I have never managed to install a gentoo system with the global doc flag (even a new "clean" system). In the end I gave up and add the doc flag to selected packages (in /etc/portage/package.use).

I seem to remember more people have troubles with the doc flag on the ...

I have seen some posts here saying that it is possible to change from 32 to 64 bit, but I think a re-install would be as fast (better, more failsafe :) ). If you have your /home partition separate you can mount it again after a reinstall, and if you save your edited config files in /etc getting ...

The machine with the higher load has only been up for 19 minutes. At least on my machine a lot goes on after booting, and it seems to slow down a bit after a while. You should compare again after the same uptime maybe (but maybe you have done that already, not clear from the post),

Nice, thanks!
