why do i have like 20% chance of having to "recompile the kernel"or whatever when i turn on virtualbox. the error tells me do type some crap int the console, so i do, a couple minutes later it says done and then it works again? idk. strange computing
it needs to recompile the kernel modules for virtualbox every time the kernel is updated.

it's poo poo imvho, use something else

unsurprisingly, kdbus wasn't included in 4.1. greybeards apparently fear it because it reminds them of systemd.

also the fact that the main justifications behind kdbus being included are bullshit, esp with regards to performance. see

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1939166
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1939022

systemd is good and the "greybeards" opposing it do need to gently caress off, but the linux userland crew is seriously amateur-hour compared to the kernel developers a lot of the time and it's good to see them being called out on it

"userspace dbus is slow! include kdbus in the kernel so it can go faster!"
"did you profile it and rigorously identify bottlenecks that can only be alleviated with new kernel primitives?"
"yeah here you go"
"no you didn't this test suite is crap"
"no it isn't"
"gently caress off and stop wasting our time please"
oh, okay. i skimmed the mailing list like a week ago and most arguments seemed to be just the usual greybeardery.

one guy especially seemed to argue that if this was accepted in the mainline he'd be forced to use it, since other programs would start depending on it, and he didn't like that.

i'm not a technical guy, and i haven't read much about this. just got the impression from this thread that kdbus might be something really good.

Maybe you should just manually mount your external drives and this wouldn't happen - and as an added bonus, you would actually know what's going on as far as where it's mounted specifically on your file system tree.

I mean seriously, you even get to specify the dir it's mounted in and it's one command. Then you can just cd to the dir and ls/launch your file browser from shell (depending on preference), or if you really are just too awesome for a command line, after mounting it you could just open a file browser and navigate to the dir you mounted it in.

The method where you stay in the command line is probably the fastest, though.
or poo poo could not be dumb and broken and just work as it's supposed to and what can be reasonably expected

The Debian packaged version won't handle Optimus cases where you have more than one GPU on a laptop, which is becoming increasingly common. NVIDIA wrote libglvnd for this case, but Debian won't ship it.
speaking of nvidia, they still won't do kms, right?

do you know if they've got any plans of supporting wayland?

Ever since I left Red Hat, I lost contact with them, so I'm just as in the blue as you guys are. In May, we saw an update to their driver that added a "nvidia-modeset" device. Whether it works or not, I have no idea.

Otherwise, there are plans, but I don't know any update besides last year's XDC talk. http://www.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2014/XDC2014RitgerEGLNonMesa/

I think sh is still used to reduce memory usage and speedup the init scripts in place of not being retarded and moving to systemd.

$ ssh my-other-computer.local

i really like avahi
does this do anything that adding hosts in my local ssh conf doesn't?

usually anything i regularly ssh into is already in my conf together with pubkey auth, so i just do
$ ssh mc
for my media computer

(tbh, even that is very rare now, these days i usually just cast my poo poo)

it happens automatically without you having to editing a configuration file, which is generally considered a good thing in non-neckbeard circles

it also works properly even if you have a horrible router that ignores dhcp hostnames and dishes out random ip addresses or other poo poo that breaks any static configuration file based solution
that's true i suppose

i should give it a go if i start using ssh more locally

Soricidus posted:

it's not just ssh, it happens at the dns level so web servers, print servers, etc will also all magically have the right hostnames with no further configuration

in fact that's the answer i should have given, nothign but ssh looks at your ~/.ssh/config so it's more comparable to editing /etc/hosts
no, i got you. ssh was pretty much the only relevant example for me for local stuff though, but the point was well made
