Yes, you're right. Slim Devices moved the location of the perl modules they make available over the last couple of days, which means they now aren't found by the ebuild. I'd have preferred that they'd also been left in the old location for a short while rather than instantly moving them, but ca

As far as I understand it, if you're not making modifications then ext3 is approximately the same as ext2 (and, from memory, read performance is the same). However, I don't believe there's much of an overhead in 3 over 2 (again, from memory), so I personally would just plump for 3. You're maybe goi

There's also the "laptop mode" tuning knob for the kernel, which is designed to help with such things. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7539 I think 'ext3' is a sensible choice. There's an argument for avoiding spinning down as it's the starting and stopping that puts all the wear on the bearin

That looks to me like you've not followed the post-emerge instructions and run the --config step, or have not done a "dispatch-conf" when requested to do so. If you missed that then re-emerge the package and it'll show them again. The other messages are harmless, I believe. Let us know how you

I'm pleased to announce that an official Gentoo ebuild is now available in Portage, supporting a recently nightly initially. Many thanks to Joe Peterson for working with me to refine it to this point. We'd appreciate it if you could test this as much as possible so that we can be sure it's corr

As a general rule of thumb 'ext3' is the one you need for all your filesystems. Your Windows machines will be able to see files exported from that filesystem type with no problems - the fact it's on a Linux filesystem type rather than FAT32 is hidden by Samba. Stuart Ashy72 wrote: > Hi i am a

Don't give in - you should definitely be able to get mplayer through portage without X, and the benefits of doing so are well worth it! Put "-xv" in your USE flags (/etc/make.conf) I reckon that might help. If not I'm sure I can help some more. Stuart muski wrote: > Thanks for your replies. I

Try an "emerge -aDvt --newuse mplayer" instead - that will show a tree of where the dependencies come from, which may be more enlightening. Looking at the USE flags shown for mplayer, I don't think mplayer should want X to be installed. I run a headless Gentoo server with no X support and it works
