[gentoo-user] gnome intrusion?

[gentoo-user] UDEV rule problem
Hi,
I have two external USB3 hard disk enclosures. They have the same
vendor, model and the same serial number (unfortunately).
Vendor, model and serial occur in the usb-subsystem only.
Since the hard drives within theses enclosures have different
capacities, there is a different ATTR{size} value in the
block-subsystem.
But this doesn't have any vendor info.
How can I write to different udev rules to distinguish these two
external hard disks?
Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut

It's not udev, but why not use the UUIDs of the filesystems?
# ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
and then for example in /etc/fstab
UUID=028da5ef-4e73-405a-b739-d59204c54921 /mnt/externaldisk1 ext4

UUID=fae458a3-da30-43c5-81f1-be2d49215b09 /mnt/externaldisk2 ext4

[gentoo-user] Macbook pro mid-2014 overheats
Hi All, I started installing gentoo on a Macbook pro 15" and stopped soon after I created new partitions for it. I could feel the Macbook overheating while running the sysrescuecd kernel, without me having compiled a single package yet. I'm guessing it is missing some drivers; for example I have no wireless interface listed, although sysrescuecd has loaded the bcma module. Has anyone attempted running gentoo on this hardware and what solution did you follow to control CPU voltage/temperatures? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I've seen many drives where really the serial number as reported by
Linux is the model number, and the serial number is somehow invisible...
Not sure if this is a kernel bug or some ATA protocol violation.
Especially USB enclosures are a problem with this...

Try uninstalling a a11y related software, disable the accessibility use flag... at-spi2 launches its own dbus - it should go away if you disable a11y features.

If you mean nls-related stuff, it is already off, just like the accessibility USE flag. But app-accessibility/at-spi2-atk is pulled by gtk+, unconditionally, so there is nothing I can do about it, I guess. It is not ebuild fault either, it's an upstream choice. I also would love to get rid of dbus, but I suppose something essential would break. Thanks Jorge

[gentoo-user] linuxdoc-tools larger file does not work if using pipe
Hi. I have been having a problem with linuxdoc-tools while trying to install brltty from git. When trying to process the manual the file is truncated at about 8192 bytes and so gives an error. Now the original linuxdoc is using pipes to connect the various componentsto process the document which is about 63k. Now, I can process it manually and get the same error, but if I use temporary files instead of using pipe, then it works. So, how can I get pipe to behave itself? I tried it on another distribution and it seems to work, which would indicate something in the environment, but I have no idea what. I looked at /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size and it is 67108864.
