Vendetta Solutions Notebook

I’m having the hardest time managing sessions and maintaining a fluid login script run via prototype.  For whatever reason my ajax.request call is not returning anything like it should even when i add in the onComplete method i get nothing to even say it’s completed.  I’ve rewritten my login page now three times.  it’s so frustrating.

This HowTo is for those who complain ubuntu boot-up speed is pretty slow but not willing to install any alternative tools to speed up. The way I use here is not the ultimate solution by any means but it does make differences and it does work. Everything done below is by tuning the boot process itself and because everyone’s computer might be different, there is a little risk that something below might break your system. Take your own judgment before you perform a change and always good to do a backup for the /etc dir.

A lot of times you’ll want to emerge a masked package (or a masked version of one). One short way to do this is ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge package (replace x86 with your architecture). A slightly shorter way is to create a file called /usr/sbin/expmerge with the following contents:

#!/bin/sh
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge $*

Then just expmerge package
Mixing unstable with stable packages can lead to problems, so it’s recommended you pick one type and use it all the time. This is more important for libraries rather then programs.

NOTE: the aforementioned method of emerging masked packages is deprecated and unsupported. please use /etc/portage/ (man portage, man emerge) This is used by:
echo "package-category/package-name" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

I just watched a video from a show i attended almost 8 years ago… I feel so old now.

I need to play with my phone and see if I can make posts via my cellphone..
