  1. So, today I did a ZFS install on Gentoo and Funtoo which of course was more easier on Funtoo due to not having to compile a kernel. Now I'm on the search for performance tweaks. I have notice "for me at least", that a emerge -avuDN --with-bdeps=y @world is a little bit more slower than normal. Would like to leave this thread open for related discussion to this topic. If I find something not noted in the wiki will post here.

  2. I can;t believe someone else is thinking ppc64!  I was just about to talk to drobbins about this very thing. 

    It's a great platform for linuxing.  I'd love to help you out if I could. 

     

    I've got a G5 quad thats not quite ready for production, but I plan on using it to do linux builds on for distriubtion.

    It'll be a slow going process, hang in there!

    I have Gentoo install and MorphOS installed. You should try out MorphOS it's a AmigaOS opensource/non-free alternative that's probably the best "community" supported ppc port out right now other than gentoo,fedora, and ubuntu. Would be nice if metro supported ppc64 stage3 builds.

  3. Using cinnamon desktop with tracker miner fs crashes while desktop is going to sleep. Removing the -miner-fs flag which is optional seems to fix my issue so far.

    That didn't help. Keep getting crashing "tracker-miner-fs 16677 cinnamon GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: Error while sending AddMatch()"

    I will open a bug on this.

  4. I think the first post is a pretended emerge, and ~amd64 is set globally on his make.conf, so no, it wont help.

     

    What OP could try, is unmasking the 'multilib' useflag, if his system actually supports multilib, and try emerge again, but I don't think it was masked arbitrarily, so it's likely the build fails or runtime problems might arise.

     

    echo '-multilib' >> /etc/portage/package.use.mask
    
    It might be also needed to enable the multilib use flag in package.use for media-gfx/nvidia-cg-toolkit. But I warn again, it's likely to be broken somewhere and that caused the developers to do the use flag masking (and if you look carefully, this is coming from gentoo, so I would search the gentoo bugtracker to see if I found out, why multilib is masked)

     

    Thanks for the clarification. As said earlier you should take use -multilib as the parathesis around multilib means that feature is masked.

  5. what is your emerge -apv xbmc output? Correct me if I'm wrong anybody but from my understanding it looks like the amd64 is masked since the multilib use flag is in conflict with a 32bit ebuild. Could a ~amd64 keyword in package.accept.keyword(for nvidia-cg-toolkit-3.1.0013-r3)  fix this issue?

  6. Thanks, that explains things a little. The focus has been on GNOME 3.12 and other DEs. It would be a good idea to check to see how our upower changes are impacting things (at the very least, I now know it's causing issues with cinnamon) so I will look into this as time permits.

    Thanks, I look forward to the improvement in this and a cinnamon mix profile is a excellent idea. As Mate and Cinnamon confines to carry on the similarities of gnome 2 with it's simple functionality.
