Moving by logical line has always annoyed me, I'm all for going with the upstream on this one.

Hello,

I recently started to build a new gentoo system (in a chroot) for my laptop. I use ~amd64 and i wanted to experiment a little with my CXXFLAGS. I have this in make.conf
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=core2 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -fvisibility=hidden ...

Hmm, that is strange. But i have the exact same problem with my celeron e1200. It might be that cpufreq does not yet recognize these cpus...

I had some similar problems. Compile cpufreq in the kernel and not as a module. That worked for me.

/Addeman

Ahh, thats smart ;) Should have thougt of that. Thanks for the tip!

One thing i actually thougt of was to set virtualbox or vmware to do some testing. I tried virtualbox, but it has its limits, i could only export 3 drives to the vm ( couldn't find the sata controller option anywhere) so maybe i ...

...
Whew! Maybe there's a better way to do all this. Do you have a friend with a spare drive you can borrow? :)

Edit: simplified a step
I think i can find a friend with some storage. Maybe i can scrape that space together myself, i have a few other computers, so that is not something i really ...

4. Run linux software raid 5 with perhaps xfs or jfs. or simply ext3

Why would i want to go with ext3?

It's certainly the easiest to set up alternative 4 for me. But at least xfs is pretty sensitive to powerloss. And neither xfs or jfs supports shrinking of fs, which is nice.

On a personal note ...

Yes, the built-in software raid is certainly attractive but not the only 'winning feature' of zfs in my mind. If i go with zfs i'll definetly use it.

A hardware raid controller is unfortunatly to expensive for me, thats the downside of being a student :( And the speed is not my biggest concern ...

Hello,

my current fileserver is getting low on space, so this summer i'll be redoing it.

The current setup is a 1.2 TB lvm consisting of 3 320 GB sata disks, 1 250 GB ide and 1 160 GB ide disk. The sata controller card is a Promise SATA 300 TX4 and the ide controller is a Promise IDE TX4.

My plan ...

Hello,

i while back (actually before it hit ~arch ;) ) I emerged openrc and baselayout2, followed the migration guide and the reboot went fine. After a week or so i added some modules that i want autoloaded ( modules_2_6="hdaps tp_smapi coretemp" ) to the appropriate file. But the modules never ...

Well, it happend again... No i get this: >>> Source unpacked.

I haven't done any updating on this system, so there are some that could be done. I'm a bit scared of updating the freebsd-* packages though, as last time i tried to resulted in a broken system (every program crashed with something like 'undefined reference to _init'). Which is the correct order to ...

It's seems that koffice 2.0-alpha4 has had several improvements. Could we have a versionbump in the overlay? Please

I just got a sudden urge to emerge kde4 on my laptop, so thats on its way. It's running Gentoo/Linux 64-bit. I guess i should create a new user to test it though...

I'll get back to you with the results.

/addeman

Well, i now have a running kde4 session here ;)

It's quite what i expected but hey, its beta... It's a bit sluggish to, but that can probably be attributed to the fact of an old intel 845 integrated gpu...

I'll emerge som more of the kde-packages to see what they're like.

Thanks for all help ...

I'm not really good with ebuilds but couldn't this be handled with something like this
mycmakeargs="${mycmakeargs}
$(cmake-utils_use_with acl ACL)
$(cmake-utils_use_with avahi Avahi)
$(cmake-utils_use_with cups Cups)
$(cmake-utils_use_with bzip2 BZip2)
$(cmake-utils_use_with fam FAM)
$(cmake ...

How do i fix this?

Best regards
addeman

I added a patch from SVN that should fix this.
Thanks for reporting, and please let me know if it fixes the issue. :-)

Compiling right now... It got past the 16% done so it works! Thanks

By the way, the ebuild for kdelibs-3.94.0-r1 crashed when checking ...

Hi,

I tried to install kdebase-3.94.0 today on my gentoo/freebsd box and the compilation of kdebase failed with this Linking CXX executable shade

Thanks for the tip. I tried and there were no emacs-lovers around. The others recommended i file a bugreport so i did. It's bug #194582 on gentoo bugzilla.

/addeman

I recently installed Gentoo/FreeBSD and i now need emacs.
zion ~ # emerge -av emacs

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Hi,

i booted a livecd again and ran jfs_fsck -fa and now it works! Thanks.

I must however say that fsck had already been run upon a reboot and the filesystem was deemd clean...

Hello,

I booted a livecd but i still couldn't change permission or owner of that dir. I couldn't remove it either.

ls -la returns something like ????????? ???? ???? init.d How do i correct this?

Hello,

well during the forum downtime xorg-server-1.4-r1 was released and it includes mesa-7.0.1 so thats good. But i still got no direct rendering, so updated x11-drm. I used the instructions at DRI . I used git to get the sources and then followed the build instructions from 1.7. After that i ...

Hello,

i just wanted to report that i got a bit furhter along the road to a working dri.

This is what I did:

Modified the xorg-server-1.3.0.0.ebuild so that it uses mesa-7.0.1

This however requires a bit of patching, use this patch i found at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID ...

Hello,

i tried today but still no luck. It seems that i cant get my system to use the newer version of mesa, glxinfo shows andrnils@nx6125 ~ $ glxinfo | grep version

client glx version string: 1.4
GLX version: 1.2
