  1. Gentoo new genkernel

    New genkernel, and I found that my kernel, System.map and initramfs were no longer in the same order as before, causing problems with my grub configuration. I considered rebuilding some old kernels (just to have a fallback), or just getting rid of the old kernels... and then I decided …

  2. Gentoo virtual/pam removal

    I had to remove virtual/pam today as part of the Gentoo FreeBSD removal, as it is masked. See bug #697630. Unfortunately this will cause your next emerge to fail, as many of the things you've installed may have a dependency on virtual/pam and not sys-libs/pam, and it …

  3. Odd gentoo merge problem for libvirt

    Somehow, during the upgrade from libvirt 4.1 to 4.3, I was having a problem building and installing the new libvirt, getting errors such as the following:

  5. OpenIndiana hipster 2014.1

    I haven't been paying close attention the last few weeks and was surprised to discover that hipster stopped updating. So, I finally had time to go read the mailing list and discovered that they'd moved to a hipster-2014.1 repository that contains just the most recent packages.

    Needed to set …

  6. HBO Go on Linux

    HBO Go stopped working for me on Linux recently (actually it might not have been super recent, I don't use it that often). Apparently a DRM problem with Flash 11.2.x on Gentoo (and other Linux versions I'm assuming), I was able to get it working again by emerging …

  7. Setting up repository mirrors for local use

    I have a few OpenIndiana servers now, at home and at work. I've been working hard on clustering lately. To help with my work, in both places I'm busy setting up a local repository, something I can update periodically and then use it to update all my servers and containers …
