Guys, do remember that this is a K6. I doubt anything short of text-only games would work.

No.

I'm still seeing no valid argument towards not putting ndiswrapper on the LiveCD.

It's probably because they're all OSS fascists who believe using Windows drivers in Linux is a heresey and thus refuse to do it, personally attacking every user which suggests it and then making wild accusations ...

Wow. What an arrogant and callous response from a developer of Gentoo! "You're a careless fool and nobody cares about you." Thanks! I'm glad to know that the developers of this distribution don't give a flying fuck about its own users! It could be as easy as adding one line and compiling the module ...

What I want to know is why are all the devs so defensive about adding ndiswrapper to the LiveCD.

It doesn't make any sense. Seriously. Some hardware ISN'T SUPPORTED BY LINUX. Get the fuck over it. Some are supported through ndiswrapper. Are you going to cut people who don't have the cash to "buy ...

Might not matter now, but libGL.la is apart of MESA. Try re-emerging mesa?

Today I updated my box and updated to the latest version of CVS on ~arch. I found after that I could no longer run CVS without it hanging on transfers. After trying many things, I tried to downgrade to a version below it, dev-util/cvs-1.12.12-r3 - and suddenly CVS worked again!

The search on these forums are is so unreliable. I just use Google and tell it to hit only forums.gentoo.org.

Setting MAKEOPTS="j1" fixed my problem, and it appears it's been fixed in Portage, so I'll just set it back!

However, I am disappointed with this release. iPod support certainly is better, but no video transfer at all yet.

Same issue as baeksu. Also, it clocks my processor at 100%, slowing everything down to a crawl, before spitting out that message.

I'm using it right now. It's stable. Beagle integration is nice.

I think you'll have better luck in this forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewforum-f-27.html

Bumpitybump.

I've got a problem. I'm trying to get Totem to display TV-Out through my nVidia 6600GT. I have nvtv installed and enabled and am using the Experimental ebuild when explicitly enabled nvtv support. Everythings connected and yet... nothing. Is there some xorg.conf voodoo I have to perform before I get ...

I'd like to say great work on this extension. Now I have no need to keep 32-bit Mozilla around.

Keep it up.

Since ipv6 isn't widely used right now, it's safe to disable. However, in two or three years, I believe IPv6 will be more widespread in applications.

Optimize. Optimizing compilation takes somewhat more time, and a lot more memory for a large function.

With -O, the compiler tries to reduce code size and execution time, without performing any ...

Re-emerging ffmpeg afterwards may cause linking breakage. If it wont compile against the newest ffmpeg, it probably doesn't conform to the new API changes in the newest ffmpeg's. I'd recommend masking the latest version of ffmpeg, and keep going back until avifile compiles with ffmpeg. Once you're ...

I have learned after about two years of Gentoo Linux:

- Building things staticly is stupid.
- Updating every week as opposed to every few months = better.
- How to use BASH effectively.
- The workings of DHCP, NFS and PXE (massive LTSP project for school).
- How to fix any Linux distribution ...

Petition for proper ebuild to be made for Handbrake. The bug for the Handbrake ebuild seems to be dead from back in June. Anyone else care to pick it up?

NetworkManager is completely useless. I couldn't get it to work at all, and when I did, there was no configuration utility at all.

Try this:
See if that works.

I did two separate portscans from websites to see if I were vulnerable. Currently, they say Port 111 on both TCP and UDP is open, which is the SUN RPC protocol.

So I thought, alright, just add a simple IPTables rule:

iptables -A INPUT -i $INTERNET -p tcp --dport 111 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i ...

Read the newsletters, keep up with the times, maintain packages and make sure nothing major changed between releases by the distro.

I thought every Linux sysadmin did this.
