[gentoo-user] Powertop constantly tells me to enable USB suspend, but it is already enabled
Hi, As the subject line says, powertop constantly tells me my USB devices (keyboard/mouse) are active 100% of the time and to enable USB suspend, which I do, but it keeps telling me constantly. How can I tell if: A) USB suspend is actually on or not B) powertop is doing anything when I press U I've got USB Suspend/resume support in my kernel, and according to the kernel docs the usbcore.usbsuspend default delay is 2 (powertop suggests changing it to 1). Powertop's refresh delay is 5 seconds. Thanks, Paul

[gentoo-user] How to compress lots of tarballs
Hello list, I have an external USB-3 drive with various system backups. There are 350 .tar files (not .tar.gz etc.), amounting to 2.5TB.

The problem is that I do not know how to sync my Gentoo repository to the state it was on 12-12-2021.

[gentoo-user] Console behaviour
Hello! I believe that my console does not work as it ought to. There are two main troubles. First, the text does not move as it gets written. In order to read the result of a command that produces a substantial amount of text in response (such as reboot or ls /etc), I have to switch to another console and back (for instance alt-F2 then alt-F1). Secondly, the cursor is not visible, and, in an editor (such as nano), I have constantly to hunt for it and move it through keystrokes, which is very inconvenient. gpm is installed and works, using the button emulation (this is an iMac), but only to a certain extent: I mean that it does copy-and-paste, but not cut-and-paste. It cannot set the cursor. Is there some sort of configuring to do? or what else? Thanks for hints. Charles -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

On Sun, Mar 10, 2013 at 05:07:25PM -0400, Michael Mol wrote NAT behind a home router is bad, too. For IPv4, it's only necessary because there aren't enough IPv4 addresses to let everyone have a unique one. The best real reason for moving to IPV6 is address space (or lack thereof, in the case of IPV4). The people who are truly interested in speeding up IPV6 adoption should do their best to shut up the internet hippies who constantly rant and rave about how NAT is evil. Don't let the cause get distracted by that unrelated issue. Focus on the core issue. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org I don't run desktop environments; I run useful applications

Re: [gentoo-user] python-updater constantly rebuilds one same package

Seems like now everything is ok and it was only a portage bug. It is actually a bug with python-updater. However, we have no plans to fix it; instead, the problem will be resolved once all python-based ebuilds are migrated to python-r1.eclass and therefore utilize PYTHON_TARGETS. At that point, python-updater will become obsolete and you will no longer need to run it.

[gentoo-user] How can I block incomming tor-traffic?
Hi Gentoo-users, my web-server gets constantly abused by users which appear to be using tor-network (ip-lookup of source addresses always points to tor-exit.watever). How can I block this tor-traffic completely? I know I can get the list of tor exit-nodes on: check.torproject.org/exit-addresses How can I feed this list to iptables? Is there some ready-to-use solution, or do I have to parse this list through some script I have to write first? Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!

Re: [gentoo-user] want to upgrade 50 month old installation
On Tue, 4 Aug 2015, Daniel Frey wrote: I found that I had to do it in little pieces at a time and portage got in my way constantly. I wish there was a setting to just forcibly compile a package and then manually deal with breakage afterward with something like revdep-rebuild, rather than trying to solve problems it can't deal with beforehand. It would have been a lot easier. You can do that, just go into /usr/portage and treat the whole thing like a BSD ports system. When you're in a package directory execute ebuild package.ebuild merge and portage will do it's thing, only without checking dependencies. So you'll probably get configure failures, but once a package is built that way portage will treat it as though it were installed normally.
