Beryl and Emerald on Gentoo (56K Implosion)

[Nagaru]

This is Beryl running on Gentoo, using the Emerald window manager, sorry the pics are so huge, since uploads is down this is the best could do. I will move them to uploads once that is back up.

Here is a quick little video I made, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLO_Le_mo9Q

If anyone is interested in doing this I would be happy to help them, I am on IM a lot.

Here are the instructions I used in case anyone is interested.

Right now all the packages are marked unstable and therefore aren't in portage, they are in the xeffects overlay, the package is beryl. I am going to add links, in the first post, to the instructions I used.

It is a Triumph TR3, hopefully my next car, but we will see. If you ever want to talk Linux just shout.

 

[FarFarAway]

Ah of course the TR3

When I do decide I have some time I'll hit ya up on MSN

That car is awesome!

You are a lucky sheet if you get that!

The classics are always the best

Have you tried using the revdep-rebuild tool in Gentoolkit mate. It'll rebuild your dependencies in the event that something came unstuck in your attempted emerge?

Sounds good.

I agree I will be lucky, but it is not so much a get thing as a buy thing.

No, I haven't that is a good idea, I am going to try that thanks.

How much would one of these beasties cost? :worship:

I am not sure about in the UK, but here a restored TR3A easily goes for $20,000. I am planning to restore one though, so I think I can maybe get one for about $3,000.

I added a link to a video I made, the link is in the first post.

So did the revdep-rebuild tool fix the problem?

 

[Rastalovich]

I owned a TR7 >.<

So did the revdep-rebuild tool fix the problem? I'm interested to know...

The problem turned out to be the idiot behind the keyboard, the masked package complaint turned out to be a dependency and once I unmasked that it worked. Thanks for the help though.

 

[PV5150]

cool mate, glad you got it sorted

 

[Nagaru]

Ya it is awesome.
