Happy Birthday

“i wish you some superb robo-powered fridge who predicts only good future, tells you of the best memories you ever had, is full of lithuanian beer.. and i wish i was there to give you a hug and drink some to your health and wealth and drink to every sunset over your head and every sunrise down your feets that tuckle them and gives energy and joy of life every single day every single minute.
i wish you would understand your happiness.. i wish i would be able to remind it to you whenever you need it”

Cherokee 0.6.0 relased

The cherokee team just relased version 0.6.0, as higlights:

• Web based admin interface (cherokee-admin, USE=admin)
• 20% 25% faster
• Load balancing
• Recover mechanism
• More authentication modules
• New documentation system
• Theme support

The new ebuild is already in portage including cherokee-admin and cherokee-guardian. The configuration is totally different so you need to create a new one using cherokee-admin or use /usr/share/doc/cherokee-0.6.0/contrib/05to06.py to export your old config (doesn’t wokrs 100%).

Dell xps m1330 & Gentoo (back from FOSDEM)

Well is my first week with my new laptop (Alice) and i love it… This is only a list of tips/troubleshottings maybe usefull for other :

• you need a 2.6.24 kernel + net-wireless/iwl4965-ucode for complete out-box wifi support
  • my .config file: config 2.6.24-r2
• you need alsa-driver-1.0.16 (1.0.15 is in 2.6.24) to mic and sounds works corrrectly and define in /etc/modules.d/alsa :
  • options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack
• If you are using 2.6.24 you need to use >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-169.09-r1 (~x86)
• If you want sleep/hibernate to work remember acpid & hald in the same runlevel
  • disble power button even handler in /etc/acpi/default.sh becuase it can conflict with hald
• Some usefull links:
  • xps on gentoo
  • triple boot howto
  • gentoo xps wiki

About FOSDEM was great again. I met old a lot of old friends, a few new ones ;) was great to see again Jonita adn Damian, and we enjoy like never in Delirium (the best bar), a lot of beer, girls and chocolat.

Going to FOSDEM
