It was worth a look I guess. As to stopping emerge to logout and such, emerge screen and give it a try. When you want to run a program, such as emerge, that will take a while and you may want to leave it running in the background, you just type in screen -S <name that is short> and hit enter. Then type in your command. If you want to detach or go away while it is still running, just do a ctrl a then hit d. Screen takes a bit of getting used to but it comes in real handy sometimes. I use it for long compiles, OOo, KDE or the like. When you want to reconnect to check on it, just type in screen -r <name you gave earlier>. Here is a example of mine right now: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # screen -list > There are screens on: > 10057.emerge (Detached) > 30183.FAH1 (Detached) > 2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-root. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # I have two screens running, one for folding, one for a emerge -e system that I started a bit ago. If I want to check on the emerge one, I just type in screen -r emerge and it comes right up. Hope that helps. Maybe you can get the other sorted soon. Oh, check /etc/inittab and make sure these are in there: > # TERMINALS > c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux > c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux > c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux > c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux > c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux > c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux That is what gives you those consoles. They should NOT be commented out though. Other than this, I can't think of anything else, unless a key is out on your keyboard. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
