Installing Yaourt

I missed Yaourt tool already. Good thing that the flight is delayed so I have ample time to install it with my new KahelOS & Aspire S3.

Here are the things that I did to accomplish this.

1.Install package-query package

curl -O https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pa/package-query/package-query.tar.gz

tar zxvf package-query.tar.gz

cd package-query

makepkg -si

cd ..

2.Install yaourt

curl -O https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ya/yaourt/yaourt.tar.gz

tar zxvf yaourt.tar.gz

cd yaourt

makepkg -si

cd ..

3. Install from [archlinuxfr] repository

vim /etc/pacman.conf

and add this

[archlinuxfr]

Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch

4. Now install your favorite software at AUR

Enjoy!

Thunderbird hammering your CPU usage to more than 100%

Thank you for this bug report  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794401 My NEW Thunderbird is now doing fine. Setting mail.db.idle_limit  to 30000000 will do the trick.

 

Acer Aspire S3+XORG and jumpy touchpad pointer

I just installed new gnome on my laptop and it was cool and nice to play with. However, in the default installation,touchpad is really annoying and the pointer is jumpy and will surely affect your productivity.

I solved this problem by modifying synaptics.conf under my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

[mmara@r3d3ye ~]$ sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf

Adding on my config file did the trick.

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Bye bye jumpy touchpad pointer"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Option "MinSpeed" "0"
        Option "ConstantDeceleration" "5"
EndSection

Halloween Party is just another party but Team 8liens celebrates it with lots of twist, food, booze and fun!

Halloween Party is just another party but Team 8liens celebrates it with lots of twist, food, booze and fun! We started the night with a prayer just like all our events for guidance and blessings for the fun night. What's a halloween party without the spooky costumes donned by 8liens? We sure enjoyed dressing up with our scary masks and make up on!

Great food is a must! We had a blast filling our tummies so we can last the whole night. Oh, about the great food! Team 8liens was a team once again in preparing the food we had for the party. That alone was a memorable experience. Next came the exciting pinoy games such as tongue twister, charades and pinoy henyo. To top the night off, we had raffle prizes given away! A special thanks to our honorary 8liens Milo & Macoy for the tequila! Kudos to the organizers!
