Reducing kernel compilation time

Okay, let's get the numbers.

I followed Sven and Stephen's advice so I:

- Used "make localmodconfig" to generate the ".config" file
- Appended "CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2" to "make-kpkg"
- Added CONFIG_MATOM=y (just in case...)
- Removed the aforementioned "CONFIG_LGUEST_GUEST", "CONFIG_LGUEST" and
"CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS" options from the ".config" file

toshiba_acpi: Toshiba Laptop ACPI Extras version 0.20

Yeah some progress on toshiba_acpi:

* http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131465192113848&w=2

After applying the patch:

* https://github.com/malaterre/PublicRep/tree/master/toshiba

I can now load toshiba_acpi nicely:

[43475.857947] toshiba_acpi: Toshiba Laptop ACPI Extras version 0.20

toshiba_acpi on L670-1JN

According to :

http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver

$ modprobe toshiba_acpi
FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi
(.../kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko): No such device

means that I do not have the proper toshiba, in my case, here is what I got:

FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi (/lib/modules/3.0.0-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/toshiba_acpi.ko): No such device

However if one dig a little further

$ sudo acpidump -b -t DSDT -o DSDT.aml
$ iasl -d DSDT.aml
$ grep TOS1900 DSDT.dsl
Name (_HID, EisaId ("TOS1900"))

Yay ! this means I should be able to use toshiba_acpi ! TOS1900 is the Toshiba Value Added Package from windows.

Finally got it to work, simply:

$ sudo vim modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

then add:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba

after a :

$ sudo alsa force-reload

it should show a nice output now:

myae & autoentreprenons sont des interfaces qui necessite un acces web. Je n'ai pas reussi à installer gestan sur mon windows 7 (64bits), l'installation ne s'arrete jamais...
J'ai essayer ciel version AE, l'installation passe bien, la configuration est simple, on rentre le SIRET, il rempli les champs nom, adresse et teléphone automatiquement...mais ensuite l'interface est totalement illisible !

Apres plusieurs recherche je tombe enfin sur qlqchose qui ressemble plus à ce que je cherche: kinvoice:
* http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org/kinvoice

Apres qlq recherche sur kinvoice, on se rends compte que le produit n'est plus développé par les developpeur originaux. On peux trouver une pseudo version 0.3 en cherchant bien (tootai).

Mais ce n'est rien, par rapport à ce que l'on trouve ici:
* http://www.julienpecqueur.com/index.php?page=15.Qfacture.html
* http://blog.julienpecqueur.com/index.php?static1/qfacture

En effet un des auteurs de patch pour kinvoice (Qt3), a décidé plutot que de porter kinvoice vers Qt4, de tout ré-écrire et cela donne un logiciel *extremement* simple d'utilisation. Le code est tres lisible, j'ai pu commencer à le patcher immédiatement:

* http://github.com/malaterre/Qfacture

et tous mes patchs ont été intégré upstream !

Pour info, une nouvelle version de Qfacture est en cours de dev, elle proposera des bindings pour mysql, psql et sqlite !

Resizing a Vista partition

Disk Utility works somewhat, but I could reduce my Vista partition from an initial 500Gb only down to 250Gb... that was still too big !

* Get MyDefrag
* Remove swap file
* Run MyDefrag !
* re-add swap file

GPG Key Transition

Link to doc signed with both keys using:

gpg -u 0EA23F2B -u 8AE09345 --armor --clearsign transition.txt

ref: OpenPGP DSA-1 key rollover

---

I am transitioning from an older 1024-bit DSA key to a new 4096-bit RSA key.
The old key will continue to be valid for some time, but I prefer all new
correspondance to be encrypted in the new key, and will be making all
signatures going forward with the new key.

This document is signed with both keys to validate the transition.

If you have signed my old key, I would appreciate signatures on my new key as well, provided that your signing policy permits that without reauthenticating me.

The old key, which I am transitioning away from, was:

pub 1024D/0EA23F2B 2009-04-16
Key fingerprint = E1FA ED1F A75C 1DA7 FD9F 14F8 1291 4ABD 0EA2 3F2B

The new key, to which I am transitioning, is:

pub 4096R/8AE09345 2010-09-17
Key fingerprint = 6933 67FF AECD 8EAA CD1F 063B 0171 E182 8AE0 9345

To fetch the full new key from a public key server using GnuPG, run:

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 8AE09345

If you have already validated my old key, you can then validate that the new
key is signed by my old key:

gpg --check-sigs 8AE09345

pub 0EA23F2B 2010-09-17 Mathieu Malaterre (malat)

Please contact me via e-mail if you have any questions about this
document or this transition.

Thoughts about Qt 5

From Thoughts about Qt 5:

Developed in the open, together with you, with strong backing from Nokia

Another major change with Qt 5 will be in the development model. Qt 4 was mainly developed in-house in Trolltech and Nokia and the results were published to the developer community. Qt 5 we plan to develop in the open, as an open source project from the very start. There will not be any differences between developers working on Qt from inside Nokia or contributors from the outside.

RTL8192SU integrated into linux kernel 2.6.38

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/58371/focus=58455

I mean the PCIe devices. I plan to submit that driver in time to make the 2.6.38
merge. Realtek has not yet sent me the code for the USB devices, but as the chip
and core code is common, it should not be far behind.

Hopefully rtl8192se will also make it into:
