Hello, I just updated a system, vi 'emerge -uD world'
The rc.conf file is now very short: # /etc/rc.conf: Global startup script configuration settings # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/rc.conf,v 1.30.4.1 2005/02/10 01 :11:52 vapier Exp $ # UNICODE specifies whether you want to have UNICODE support in the console. # If you set to yes, please make sure to set a UNICODE aware CONSOLEFONT and # KEYMAP in the /etc/conf.d/consolefont and /etc/conf.d/keymaps config files. UNICODE="no" # Set EDITOR to your preferred editor. # You may use something other than what is listed here. #EDITOR="/bin/nano" EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim" #EDITOR="/usr/bin/emacs" # What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm | entrance ] #DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" # XSESSION is a new variable to control what window manager to start # default with X if run with xdm, startx or xinit. The default behavior # is to look in /etc/X11/Sessions/ and run the script in matching the # value that XSESSION is set to. The support scripts are smart enough to # look in all bin directories if it cant find a match in /etc/X11/Sessions/, # so setting it to "enlightenment" can also work. This is basically used # as a way for the system admin to configure a default system wide WM, # allthough it will work if the user export XSESSION in his .bash_profile, etc. # # NOTE: 1) this behaviour is overridden when a ~/.xinitrc exists, and startx # is called. # 2) even if ~/.xsession exists, if XSESSION can be resolved, it will # be executed rather than ~/.xsession, else KDM breaks ... # # Defaults depending on what you install currently include: # # Gnome - will start gnome-session # kde-<version> - will start startkde (ex: kde-3.0.2) # Xsession - will start a terminal and a few other nice apps #XSESSION="Gnome" XSESSION="kde-3.3.2"" <snip> This is the new rc.conf file I was given, I only changed the DISPLAYMANAGER, EDITOR and XSESSION entries. Lots of stuff, like the protoocols are missing? Why? I kept an old copy but, what gives with this new, shorter version of rc.conf? Is it because the previous configuration information has moved to other config files? Did I do something wrong? Or is this just an abboration? None of my 5 other Gentoo sytems have this problem..... -curious, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
