install-grub.pl errors with nixos-install when / is on an LVM LV on top of mdadm RA
# EDIT: Solution was that I had accidentally given grub a config where / is on LVM on LUKS, which can obviously not work.
# Still unclear why GRUB "memory leaks" in that case.
installing the GRUB 2 boot loader on /dev/sda...
Installing for i386-pc platform.

Another make horror example. Guess what this does. (Don't use Make, unless you really know how it works, by which time you probably decide against it.)
# Let's assume COMPILER was for some accidental reason not set.
# COMPILER=gcc
CFLAGS = -O2 -Wall
all:
$(COMPILER) $(CFLAGS) --version

IRC discussion on #chromium-os on picked kernel bug and how to put newer kernels on the Samsung 500C like ChrUbuntu
→ nh2 joined • Channel mode: +cgnrt
02:41 <nh2> I think I found a bug in ChromiumOS's custom Linux kernel patches. How do I find the exact git commit of the kernel that my Chromebook is running?
03:30 <nh2> also, why is the `Version Lookup` box on https://cros-omahaproxy.appspot.com returning (in red bold text):
