Thanks for the replies so far. At $450 (Canadian $) I'm not expecting a gaming rig. If it'll play youtube, stream my HDHomerun tuner, etc, I'll be happy. And of course email/surfing/spreadsheets/etc. -- Walter Dnes

[gentoo-user] Persistent hal

2010-12-22 Thread Kevin O'Gorman
I don't really want it, but my system still has hal installed. According to equery depends, it seems that there are still two packages that unconditionally depend on hal (besides hal-info): k3b and gnome-mount. I don't care much about gnome-mount (this is primarily a KDE system), but I definitely

~amd64 (which is k3b-2.0.1-r1) still depends on HAL. The last time I checked this, work was on-going to solve that. But, as of now, HAL is the only way k3b has to find devices, in gentoo at least. I remember that in the past there was a configurator where you could manually configure the devices fr

[gentoo-user] Puzzled about --depclean

I just ran "emerge -p --depclean" and the only thing it wants to remove is gentoo-sources-2.6.35-r12. So my system's pretty clean, but I'm quite puzzled with this result. I have 5 versions of gentoo-sources installed, and the one it wants to ditch is the one I'm actually using. I can understand
