In that case, your usb-connection (or anything) will probably be a borderline case to, since that is also a network...

Re: [gentoo-user] Monitor complains of no HDMI signal on wake
Thanks for pointing me to that page, I didn't catch that flag. I added those in although I still get the lack of signal upon wake, sadly. It'll probably prevent jankiness elsewhere though. My next step is trying an active HDMI to Displayport adapter.

[gentoo-user] Emerge --root= headerfiles taken from / or ROOT?
Hi there, I'm just trying setup a small target image with the --root (env SYSROOT), - config-root and --sysroot options, and some builds fail, because the header files as well as cmake include files are not taken from the path specified to root/sysroot, but from /. How can I make emerge/ebuild take the headers from the target path? The goal is to have a target image, which contains only minimum set of packages and also a minimum set of use flags, just to get it booting and fulfill its purpose. The use flags and the package set are different from the host build system. The architecture is the same, so I'm not cross compiling. Thanks Alex

Check your user is a member of the audio group. If you're not using one of the desktop profiles (eselect profile list) then also check the ACLs for /dev/ snd/controlC*. Check the pavucontrol configuration tab and disable the built-in audio profile corresponding to the audio card you don't want to use (e.g. HDMI) - if this is the setting which you want to change. Take a look at ~/.config/pulse and tweak manually the settings you need/want per user, or for system wide settings walk through /etc/pulse/. I'm not at a pulse equipped PC at present to dig any deeper, but the above should set you on the right path.

In the past I had come across similar bugs, which were fixed on a subsequent version. Using stable versions minimises such problems, but from what I recall didn't do away with hiccups 100% of the time. Alternative browsers may be the way to go, at least temporarily. > D. > > WTF, I just installed sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-5.11.15, rebooted, ran > update again, and now it's unavailable, this is like 3 days..
