• More tinderbox notes, just to say

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 126
  To complete the topic I started with the previous post I would like to give you some more notes about the way the tinderbox work, and in particular about the manual fiddling I have to do on it to make sure that it works smooth; and the issues that haven’t been tackled yet. As I said the tinderbox is a Linux ...

• Tinderbox: explaining some works

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 126
  Many people asked before to explain better how my tinderbox works so that they can propose changes and help. Well, let me try to explain more how the thing is working so I can actually get some suggestions, as right now I’m a bit stuck. Right now the tinderbox is a Linux Container that runs in Yamato; since ...

• Upgrading All QT Modules in Gentoo

  
  Guy Rutenberg — Authority: 104
  Upgrading minor versions QT seems to be a hassle, as each version blocks the previous and because of inter-dependencies, Gentoo can’t understand by itself how to solve them. The solution is to tell it to specifically upgrade all installed modules. sudo emerge -avu1 $ ( qlist -IvC / qt- | grep 4. | ...

• Garbage-collecting sections is not for production

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 126
  Some time ago I wrote about using --gc-sections to avoid unused functions to creep into final code. Today instead I’d like to show how that can be quite a problem if it was used indiscriminately. I’m still using at least for some projects the diagnostic of --gc-sections to identify stuff that is unused ...

• What distributions want

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 126
  Or A 101 lesson on how to ensure that your software package is available to the distribution users (which, incidentally, are the Linux users; while already the conglomerate Linux marketshare is pretty low when compared with Windows and OS X, the marketshare of not-really-distributions like Slackware or Linux from ...

• xorg constantly freezes

  
  The UNIX and Linux Forums — Authority: 170
  this is purely for posterity but it took me a while to find this solution online. 10.1 comes wanting to install the stable releases of xorg and the kernel. However on many platforms (especially with intel video) the result is an xorg that functions for a few minutes but then hangs up and prevents you from changing to ...

• Virtualisation WTF once again.

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 126
  To test some more RTSP clients I’ve been working to get more virtual machines available in my system; to do so I first extended the space available in my system by connecting one more half-a-terabyte hard drive (removing the DVD burner from Yamato), and then started again working on a proper init script for ...

Propane sucking penguins, once almost exclusive to the colder climates of the north, are now migrating at least as far south as Arkansas.These Evil birds are draining propane tanks everywhere they go and are probably one of the primary reasons for the increase in the price ...

• Linux: Minimizing Memory Usage

  
  JJinuxLand — Authority: 116
  Its still fashionable in certain Linux circles these days to pick a leaner distro in order to minimize resource utilization. Advocates of Arch Linux and Gentoo like to point out that Ubuntu is a bit heavy on RAM usage. As a Linux old timer, Im sympathetic to the yearnings for a leaner, meaner past. Even Linus ...

• Plugins arent always a good choice

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 126
  I’ve been saying this for quite a while, probably one of the most on-topic post has been written a few months ago but there are some indications about it in posts about xine and other again. I used to be an enthusiast about plugin interfaces; with time, though, I started having more and more doubts about ...

• Debating future tinderbox work

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 126
  I’ve been not working on the tinderbox lately because my “daily job” (which is not really daily) swamped me out badly. Since this week I’m going to London to take some days off, I’ll probably get back to the tinderbox after that. For the next ride of the tinderbox, there is at least one thing that’s ...

• Distributions *are* the strength of Linux

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 126
  People disagree, some people think that no operating system has any need for distributions, with all their difference and their central repositories that aren’t as central. But one of the thing that impress most the users who switch is, in many cases (at least that I could look at myself) the presence of ...

• The PIE is not exactly a lie…

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 126
  One very interesting misconception related to Gentoo, and especially the hardened sub-profile, is related to the PIE ( Position-Independent Executable ) support. This is probably due to the fact that up to now the hardened profile always contained PIE support, and since it relates directly to PIC ( ...
