I needed to reboot after the rebuild, as 'needrestart' wasn't enough.
Re: [gentoo-user] external storage
I've ordered SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSD. Would format it with ext4 but if I do it, it will not work with cell phone. So for now I think I'll stick with exFat (default it comes with). It might be OK for picture backup but my exFat will stripped extended attributes from my Linux files. Thelma On 10/03/2018 11:58 PM, J.

File managers like dolphin and desktop environments like KDE will notice the device and allow you to mount and use them. Be aware, though, that ntfs-3g, whilst being an excellent bit of software (imo), is not the fastest way to access those disks. If you have no need to move the disk to another computer or if you only plan on moving between Linux computers, I suggest formatting with a native filesystem like ext4. Personally, I use ntfs-3g for my 4 large external disks so that I can access them when I infrequently dual-boot to windows of on the off-chance that I would like to lend the drive to someone. I accept the performance penalty. -d On October 3, 2018 05:45:58 the...@sys-concept.com wrote: > Are all external storage, media/disk work with Linux? > Any recommendations, or which one to stay away from. > > Some of them are encrypted, so I suppose they will not work with Linux > out of the box. > > -- > Thelma >>> >>> I would assume other desktop environments will also seamlessly work with >>> ntfs-3g as that is handled by udisks. >>> >>> Personally, I have not noticed lesser performance with ntfs-3g with both >>> reading and writing. >>> >>> I also have not had any issues with encrypted disks. >> >> I have had problems that once a disk is mounted with ntfs3g, and then >> trying to use it on a Windows system, I had to do a chkdsk /f before >> it would work properly.

[gentoo-user] X fails with old permissions errors
Since around 4 days ago X wont run, and my web searches show i'm hitting
the same sorts of issues that arose when X moved away from running as root.
In strace, i see;
$ grep Permi startx11.out
319 setpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, 320, -1) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
320 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/tty0", O_WRONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission
denied)
320 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/mtrr", O_WRONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES
(Permission denied)
$ ls -l /dev/tty0 /proc/mtrr
crw--w 1 root tty 4, 0 Oct 4 18:14 /dev/tty0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root0 Oct 4 18:14 /proc/mtrr
$ grep libexec startx11.out
320 faccessat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/libexec/Xorg.wrap", X_OK) = 0
320 execve("/usr/libexec/Xorg.wrap", ["/usr/libexec/Xorg.wrap",
"-nolisten", "tcp", ":0", "-auth", "/home/adam/.serverauth.303"],
0x55b02e0cdc20 /* 38 vars */) = 0
$ ls -l /usr/libexec/Xorg.wrap
-rws--x--x 1 root root 14392 Oct 2 19:19 /usr/libexec/Xorg.wrap
Also from Xorg.0.log
[ 176.550] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to get session: PID 320 does not
belong to any known session
I cant work out why there's an issue given the suid root on Xorg.wrap, so I
rebuilt systemd and the X stuff, but no change.
Any ideas?
