2.6.3_rc1-love1 aka "Solar Power Is A Pipe Dream"

[Superman53142]

I'm in Kenowhere, WI

I was at the MSOE high school programming competition and was pissed that I had to use .NET. There's something about .NET and it's handling of pointers that screws me up. Maybe I'm just not that good, LOL.

Anyway, how about all this snow, eh?

[antisthenes]

Hah...Me too. I live in Wauwatosa--Milwaukee suburb.

[nepenthe]

There are technical and political reasons why this won't happen.

was just a question...

A question I don't feel like answering for the "number close to infinte"'th time.. search the forums and thee shall find.

If you don't feel like answering the question then do not... However do not make people feel like they cannot ask questions... that's not cool man.

LOL @ Kenowhere

Yeah, the school's a bit nutty about their MS licenses so I'm not surprised about .NET... although I think the faculty is a bit anti-MS, or at least the SE profs are. Naturally I agree with them. :)
More troubling is the recent curriculum change to focus on Java over C++, but that's just personal preference.

Anyway, wow, Wisconsin is representing, lol (and I know of another on-again off-again user of love-sources that lives in Tosa).

Back to actual business, originally as a test of contest I'm doing a run on the laptop... Will report when I have actual comparisons.

I just dropped in to see whether the nforce2 apic patches were going to be reincorporated or if the bugs had really been licked by -mm, since I'm thinking about trying out reiser4 so I want the latest, but I dont want to reboot to find out if my nforce2 hangs or not:)

And what do I see on the last page of the latest love-sources thread? Two posts about the posters being from about 45 min and 10 min away from me (downtown milwaukee). We should start a South Eastern Wisconsin Gentoo Linux Users Group (SEWGLUG)

Actually it looks like the latest vmware ebuild in portage includes the correct update patch, although I don't know if you have to fetch it manually or not (I already had it). So maybe try that first.

EDIT:
Hey, another Wisconsinite eh? There's a good number of love-fanatics here (maybe it IS the cold...). I'm in WI, and someone else who's hosted stuff for steel300 has MSOE webspace.
Speaking of, I was meaning to mention that I go to MSOE too. I'm the guy w/the black trenchcoat and fedora..

Me? Black trenchcoat and fedora...I've probably seen you around, but I'm an EE so we may not have many of the same classes. Did you know smaug before he left / got kicked out? He uses Gentoo and had a really popular FTP server.

Can I be an honouray member, it would be so much fun.

Steel, darkless found out that the problem we've been having witht he USB mass storage oopses is with Nick Piggin's scheduler patch. Can you tell me where to get the patch so I can back it out?

[dedeaux]

can someone give me a quick howto on removing a patch from this patchset? I specifically would like to remove the orinoco patch. One or two pages back I left a copy of my dmesg with all the noise that the orinoco driver is creating so I figured I would try backing out of it.

This kernel is snappier, and for all practical purposes stable.

I was complaining about the bootsplash at the time, but if I enable bootsplash it bombs the wireless driver. Has anyone else experienced these problems?

1) get the patch from the broken-out dir
2) patch vanilla tree with love-patch
3) patch -R -pX --dry-run < /path/to/broken-out.patch
where -pX is likely to be the same you used with the love patch. Remove the --dry-run if it works cleanly.

Someone tell the ghost of H.P. Lovecraft. A new Elder God has been discovered.

@Steel300:

Have you been following the thread about problems with removeable USB storage devices and love-sources? http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=858509#858509
Apparently it's been nailed down to Nick Piggin's elv-select patch that's causing the problem.

[sklettke]

Steel300,

Thanks for posting that compilation of all the patches on your site!

[Pink]

I can only echo sklettke: Many thanks for the breakout steel.

[Taloon]

I have a AMD64 system and the compile died for me here. 2.6.2-love1 bombed out compiling the IA32 emulation, doesn't even get that far with this version.

Yeah, being SE I pretty much live in the CC basement, and I commute... so I'm not around to be seen too much.
Didn't know him, nope.

Naturally Lovechild can be a honorary member. Or maybe we can say he's the president of the SEWLSOGGLUG chapter located in Denmark... ;)

LOL Regor, Sewlsogglug, Endless Chaos of [kernel] Creation perhaps?
