Between the above and Outlook getting an extra drive to isolate the host OS from the VMs was a requirement. Much smoother after that. kashani

That's 100GB, 20GB DRAM and 10 threads total. I then have 2 i7-980X threads & 4GB DRAM for running Gentoo as the host.

The i7-980X only runs Gentoo and if I need Windows it's in the 5 VMs described above. The 980X is expensive to run.

[gentoo-user] unable to drive the VGA output

Symptoms include * Executing "xrandr" does not mention LVDS or VGA (and using --output VGA gives a warning that VGA doesn't exist) * Pushing Fn-F8 produces a "p" (the keycap of f8 shows in blue a picture of a laptop and a monitor) instead of showing the screen on the other display.

That's one of my questions: I currently use a passive Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT here so to be able to play some games now and then (quite good performance compared to my former card but chosen for being quiet and cool while I work).

I cannot help you there. I only run mythfrontend here sometimes, mostly in a window on one of the two monitors. I got used to compiz, even for daily work, but that shouldn't be much load for the intel graphics.

I thought of a corrupt download too, but couldn't explain that happening more than once with different files. Then I noticed a pattern developing ... If the download took place on a ntfs partition (used to share files with a MSWindows OS) and then transfered over to reiserfs where Gentoo and the drupal server lives, well, all these phenomena of corrupt files seem to take place. I cannot honestly explain this! Why is it that if the download and unzipping takes place using ntfs-3g on the said ntfs partition the php files get corrupted? This is what mount shows: /dev/sda9 on /mnt/VideoDrive type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) Probably I did something wrong ... will keep an eye out for similar errors in the future, because I just tried this again and there does not seem to be a problem with it now.

Yes, thanks. I know about the ways to rip an encrypted DVD (vobcopy, k9copy, dvd::rip, etc.). However, that's not what I'm asking about. I don't want to rip the DVD to hard disc.

[gentoo-user] DVD "FUSE decrypter" to allow non-DeCSS players to work with encrypted DVDs?
Let's say I have DVD playing software that can only play unencrypted DVDs (either as ISO images or as mounted trees), and I want to use it to play an encrypted DVD. Is there any sort of FUSE+libdvdread+libdvddecss utility that can be pointed at an encrypted DVD and then present to user-space apps an unencrypted-filesystem-tree-view of that DVD? So far, all I've been able to find is something called AnyDVD which appears to do precisely what I want, but it's Windows-only. [Yes, I know that mplayer, xine, totem, mythtv, etc. can all play encrypted DVDs, but our problem statement is that we're limited to one particular DVD player app, and it doesn't do decryption.] -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow!

First step should perhaps be to report the bug to Drupal themselves. I get the same garbage using vim here on my Mac, but interestingly not if I open the file in TextEdit (like Notepad). In vim the files both seem to terminate in this junk, and it kinda seem like vim doesn't want to scroll down properly when it encounters it. In TextEdit I do see a handful of blank spaces at the "end" of template.php, and if I delete these then reopen in vim, the garbage is gone.

Re: [gentoo-user] Legacy GRUB vs GRUB2
> Can someone possibly explain exactly what's wrong with GRUB2? The main problem of GRUB2/GRUB4DOS is that it is entering the Linux kernel by the partially documented 32 bits entry point: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-1.98.tar.gz/grub- 1.98/loader/i386/linux.c?extract=true That means you are no more executing the real mode part of the linux kernel, you are using some real mode memory structures set-up by GRUB2. Those structures have been more or less identical to those of Linux at some point in the past. That means that some kernel options which were working with GRUB1 (like EDID and EBIOS disk identifications) are no more working, and no more evolutions can be done in the real mode part of the Linux kernel (like increasing some structures, moving their base address...). Those evolutions would only be working with kernel booted with GRUB1, LILO or Gujin, but not with GRUB2. Disclaimer: I am not unrelated with the GPL bootloader Gujin at sourceforge. When entering the Linux kernel by the 32 bits entry point on ia32/amd64 has been discussed on lkml, it was seriously criticised. For instance, because the boot disk can no more be determined safely (the BIOS on most machine can tell the PCI address of a drive, but it is unsafe to call the BIOS after so many modifications in protected mode done by GRUB2), you get distributions switching to all UUID mode - which is a major pain when one of your hard disk fails and you copy it byte per byte onto a spare disk, leading to UUID conflicts. Also, some amd64 PC seems to want a BIOS call when they will run a 64 bits kernel (linux kernel real-mode code), I am not sure that one is done by GRUB2. And a third problem is that you need the 32 bits libraries to compile GRUB2, even on a clean 64 bits machine. Just my $0.02, Etienne.

It just took a few months to get around to it. I have gnome built with policykit (see below), but still no shutdown option. I have to log in as root to shutdown properly. # emerge -pv gnome These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

With 8 GB RAM I recommend putting /tmp into a tmpfs, thus: tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=16G 0 0 This box has 4 GB RAM, which is never all occupied unless I'm compiling something big, such as Open Office. I created two swap partitions: a 2G and a 20G. The 2G partition has pri=10 and the 20G has pri=1. Now the small swap will be used in ordinary operation (though it never is, as far as I know). When I'm emerging Open Office, the big swap is added when it's needed, and /tmp is rolled out to swap when it grows too big for the physical memory. You may think the small swap is an unnecessary complication, and I dare say it is, but when you have lots of space, why not play in it? Anyway, it seemed like a good idea at the time. (Actually, I've made it more complex still, by duplicating the swap arrangement on the second disk so that the kernel has maximum flexibility and can use the most efficient device at any time.) > My main concern about a swap partition is how much I need for > hibernate-to-disk to work.
