So, perl6 is out – before x-mas 🙂 I decided to give it a spin. First, upgrading my current installed perlbrew of 5.22.0 to 5.22.1, and adding a option I previously didn’t set. Seems to be a requirement for -fPIC and installing Inline::Perl5 that I think might come in handy.

$ perlbrew install perl-5.22.1 -Duseshrplib

– Set perl-5.22-1 active and install cpanm

$ perlbrew use perl-5.22.1
$ perlbrew install-cpanm
$ perlbrew use perl-5.22.0

– Now, get all installed modules from 5.22.0 to 5.22.1

$ perlbrew list-modules | perlbrew exec --with 5.22.1 cpanm
$ perlbrew switch 5.22.1

From the Christmas release I decided on installing using radukobrew.

$ git clone https://github.com/tadzik/rakudobrew ~/.rakudobrew
$ echo 'export PATH=~/.rakudobrew/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

Well, I ended up adding this to my .bashrc

if [ -e ~/.rakudobrew/bin ]; then
  export PATH=:$PATH:~/.rakudobrew/bin
fi
if [ -e ~/.rakudobrew/moar-nom/install/share/perl6/site/bin ]; then
  export PATH=$PATH:~/.rakudobrew/moar-nom/install/share/perl6/site/bin
fi

$ rakudobrew build moar && rakudobrew build-panda
$ panda install Task::Star
$ panda install Inline::Perl5

Not so happy with the default choice of “files” for Gnome 3.18 – I want list view and this is how you set it.

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences default-folder-viewer 'list-view'

So, I want to start games via the logitech profiler. Because I can then adjust all my keys on my old momo racing wheel and get them all fully working in – this awsome racing game, dirt rally.

Right click the icon that steam provides you. It should read something like this …

steam://rungameid/310560

Now in logitech profiler – make a custom startup with these parameters and your good.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch  310560

So, to use larger disks, a gpt partition table is needed. Here I wanted one disk – one partiton all for ext4.

parted -s -a optimal /dev/sdc mklabel gpt -- mkpart primary ext4 1 -1
