Slow samba transfers from gentoo to gentoo, any way to improve them?
|
| |
I have a gentoo server running stable fully updated, and I share a folder with samba on a gigabit network. The client dual boots Gentoo (stable again) and Windows 7. Under windows 7, getting a file from the server achieves around 70MB/s Under Gentoo, using gnome gvfs, it can only achieve around 30BM/s. I though... more »

Troubles with kde4
|
| |
Hi all, finally I decided to upgrade from kde3 to kde4. All went well, but: 1 - I am not able to fix the frequency of the display, neither using nvidia-settings nor throught System-settings->Dislplay. Every time a session starts I have to set it again (and this both as root and as user); As user only and at the start of every session:... more »

equery versus q-tools
|
| |
Hi, there are two utilities on (my) Gentoo system and I wonder when to prefer which one. On one hand there is 'equery' with many commands. On the other hand there the 'q-tools' i.e. a lot of symlinks to /usr/bin/q like qfile qdepends quse and so on. Often they offer similar tasks. I wonder when to use which one.... more »

gentoo on ssds? intel anyone?
|
| |
Greets, gentoo-users, I hope not to bring up some boring ricer-topic ;-) I am thinking of getting one of those shiny new SSDs for my main workstation. Not that I really *need* it, my box is performing well, I admit that I am curious and somehow childish ... some way of getting myself a christmas present or something like that ...... more »

[OT] interrupting runscripts during startup
|
| |
Hi all. When hitting Ctrl-C during startup, I manage to interrupt services at the early stages of init, yet later-on I can no-longer do this. It seems that up till runlevel 'default', services can be hit with the interrupt. I'm wondering where is this behavior being set, and whether I can enable the interruption by SIGINT in 'default' level runscripts (e.g.... more »

where can I find USE flags description?
|
| |
Hi, I want to emerge a certain package, let's say x11-base/xorg-drivers, so I try first "emerge --pretend xorg-drivers" and find it has ~50 various use-flags (some set, some unset). Where can I find their description? For example "vmmouse", what is this USE flag good for? Is it something for vmware?... more »
