Hi everybody, I'm currently working on improving my kernel and I figured out (taking a look at dmesg) that hid-generic keeps hanging on 10 secondes because of my keyboard (which causes by system to boot up within 15s instead of 5 :( ) I made lots of tests, plug, unplug, switch USB port, try with another computer. I always get the same error and the 10s timeout. [ 172.067760] usb 1-1.2: new low-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci [ 172.171664] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=1a2c, idProduct=0021 [ 172.171674] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 172.171679] usb 1-1.2: Product: USB Keykoard [ 172.171683] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: USB [ 172.175537] input: USB USB Keykoard as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2:1.0/0003:1A2C:0021.0003/input/input20 [ 172.177877] hid-generic 0003:1A2C:0021.0003: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [USB USB Keykoard] on usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2/input0 [ 182.176726] hid-generic 0003:1A2C:0021.0004: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed: -1 [ 182.176770] hid-generic 0003:1A2C:0021.0004: timeout initializing reports [ 182.177265] input: USB USB Keykoard as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2:1.1/0003:1A2C:0021.0004/input/input21 [ 182.177800] hid-generic 0003:1A2C:0021.0004: input,hidraw3: USB HID v1.10 Device [USB USB Keykoard] on usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2/input1 It sounds like two keyboards are detected when I plug it on. The first screws up and times out, and the second works fine. And indeed, I have to keyboards in /dev/input/by-id/ I googled for usb_submit_urb(ctrl) but only found old issues on 2.6 kernel. I found one workaround : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1500574#p1500574 but I am a bit reticent about this since I don't even understand what it means nor what it is supposed to do actually. Any idea on what I could do on the kernel or on udev to fix this? Thanks

This should have been fixed. https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-1590

Thank you all for your answers. Maybe I should have mentioned that I currently live in France, but plan to potentially move abroad (for studies or work). In France, I've roughly heard (from what people say) that to get a job in France you are essentially judged on your degrees and the reputation of schools you attended. Apart from startups that rather look for "cheap beasts" that were not "school-compliant". On the other hand (still and above all from what I've heard in France), in the US, recruiters would rather judge you on what you actually did personally and you past jobs references. Another interesting point is: Do you think your what you learnt during your last school years is capital for what you do now? Or do you think you would have come to useful things anyway at the moment you would have need it?

Hi guys, I'm currently studying to get a bachelor degree in computer science and I wonder what would be the best way to complete my studies afterward. I think Funtoo Linux users, more than any other distro I know, share a common passion on understanding what's actually going on between the "high-level layer" of their OS and the hardware. That's why I think your experiences and advices would be more valuable to me than those I could get from another more generic computer science forum. For now, courses are easy enough to allow me to spend my "non-uni-time" on a part-time job as web-developer. And I spend the most part of my left spare time refining my system configuration, developing automation/productivity tools and taking part in Funtoo development as much as I can. I pretty sure after my studies I would work in more or less the same field as you do (ie. somehow dealing with the low-level layer of the software, or even the hardware). So I would like to know what kind of work you do/did, and how was your studies. Especally I'm often asking these questions to myself: Should I work my courses to get very good marks instead of good/sufficiant marks, instead of spending time learning things I think more relevant to me on my own (eg. getting involved in an open source community such as Funtoo)? Would it be a good idea to make a PhD if I feel I could? Thank you in advance for your precious feedbacks about your experience.

As talked about in IRC, I suggest "Serge the llama" as Funtoo replacement of Gentoo's "Larry the cow". :P If you don't know Serge the llama, then check this out. PS: Moreover llamas can drive.

Thank you j-g-, it looks like a good way to proceed. I'm gonna dive into it.

Please excuse me if it happens that I just can't search, but it seems that neither How to dev nor the Developer Guide explains how to test changes you made. Let's say I know the patch to apply, or changes to apply to an ebuild in order to fix FL-XXXX. How can I emulate the standard merging process to make sure once my fix will hit the tree, it will actually work? I don't think I am supposed to move my changes to /usr/portage/ :P. So I wonder what is the common way to do this. Thanks in advance.

The question being "Why Gnome support without systemd?" rather than "Why does systemd suck?", I also would like to add that the first of the four freedoms of free software is the freedom to choose. So one should have the choice to run Gnome without being forced to use systemd if you don't want to. Funtoo does not force you not to used systemd, it allows you not to use it.

Indeed, it sounds quite cosmetic against the huge work to be done. However, I'll finish to cleanup pages using old templates that are yet removed.

I know we can script bots but I did not look into it for now.

With the new design Template:Fancynote is now an alias for Template:Note. Though {{Fancynote}} is most widely used, I'd suggest to remove it in favor of {{Note}} which is more concise and meaningful. If you agree, I will replace all {{Fancynote}} occurences to {{Note}} and mark [[Template:Fancynote]] as deprecated (with the new template I created for that purpose) so that people using {{fancynote}} get warned it has changed. Obviously, this also applies to (fancy)important, (fancy)tip, and (fancy)warning. Not a big deal, but there is some general cleanup to do on the wiki regarding to deprecated things, old pages, unused things, wanted things, ...

Whatever the logo I think it is important it can be "iconified" (ie. recognizable in a small square). I don't think we can shrink or crop any of the suggested logo so that when you see it in an icon you can say "Yeah this is the same, this is funtoo". I also think that before trying to design a logo, we should find the values we want to highlight and instill through the logo. To me, funtoo is kind of a gentoo (the fastest penguin) but with fun too. So theses are the values I would highlight fun and flexible (in contrast to straight): curves rather than straitght lines and angles light and fast (gentoo): colors that evoke something fresh or smooth I imagine a penguin sliding very fast on the belly or on skis. I think roughly the shape of the left penguin on the following picture would make a perfect logo. To me, this is funtoo.

What about cow-headed penguin. :D

Thank you. By the way, I figured out how to move a page. Still.

I noticed some ebuilds are documented as http://www.funtoo.org/PkgName instead of http://www.funtoo.org/Package:PkgName (eg. http://www.funtoo.org/Dbus). Some ebuilds are also linked from both schemes (eg. http://www.funtoo.org/Boot-Update and http://www.funtoo.org/Package:Boot-Update ). I guess the prefered URL is http://www.funtoo.org/Package:PkgName. However, what should be done about old URLS? For instance, should I move http://www.funtoo.org/I3_Tiling_Window_Manager to http://www.funtoo.org/Package:I3_(Window_Manager) and add the {{Ebuild}} template? And how do I do a "symlink" from I3_Tiling_Window_Manager as with Boot-Update? Thanks
