What to do after an x11-base/xorg-server update?

[2010-04-19]

Did an emerge world on my gentoo system, and one of the packages that got updated was x11-base/xorg-server. That broke my system.

And here's how to fix it:

emerge -1av $(eix --only-names -I xf86- -C x11-drivers)

Even better:

emerge -1av $(qlist -I -C x11-drivers/)

Networking disabled after a suspend on Gentoo

[2010-04-09]

My lovely little laptop running Gentoo was suspended by me. It uses very little battery when suspended, but while I forgot to resume and didn't use it for a few days it shut down completely.

Sounds fine, but when booting up again my networking was disabled. The networkmanager applet just displays "Networking disabled".

This was causes by this line

 NetworkingEnabled=false

in this file

/var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state

Changing false to true did the trick!

What I hate most on the internet these days

[2010-02-18]

Is noise. Video's that start to play when you open a page. When surfing, reading my email or RSS feeds, I open lot's of pages all in new Firefox tabs. A nice and quiet morning, listening to some subtle music, all off a sudden I hear an awfull lot of noise.

Apparently 2 of these tabs have video's on them, so I now hear 2 video's at the same time. In 2 of those 25 tabs that are open. Have to browse through all of these tabs to find out which are the one's, and close them immediately.

I don't like people shouting in my ears.

But I'm woken up now.

Wordpress google-inline-docs TypeError: docs is undefined

[2010-02-11]

Got an error in my Google Inline Docs plugin for wordpress:

TypeError: docs is undefined

Scratched my head, but it turned out that I had to compile PHP (on Gentoo) with the ctype useflag enabled.

Maybe this helps someone
