Unless the mailing list software is updated to start including something
more useful to identify messages that are bouncing, say, the Message-Id,
it's going to continue to be difficult to identify these messages.

The bounce warning includes an identifier that can only(?) be used to
request that the mailing list software resend the message... so, to the
address where it is bouncing, and where it will possibly bounce
again. Unless perhaps if you try from a different address, but I'd say
having to do so is not very convenient.

Ideally these messages and the list archive would both use Message-Id,
but even if the latter doesn't, you could still access the message at
Gmane if you knew the Message-Id (unless there was some problem
delivering to Gmane too). And if neither used Message-Id but both used
the same identifier, you could still look it up in Gentoo's list
archive...

Oh, yes, if you want to check a non-Gentoo archive, Gmane is a
possibility for that too, among others:

[gentoo-user] slim gives me blank screen after entering wrong password

2023-04-06 Thread thelma

I'm starting X server via "slim" (XFCE4).
When I enter a wrong password the slim will not restart, it gives me black 
screen.
Trying to restart "xdm" over ssh does not help, I need to reboot the computer.

What to check.

I've recently gotten a few of my usual "Bouncing messages" messages  
from the mailing list, but when I go to the archives to see if I can

[gentoo-user] Logic?

2023-04-06 Thread Alan Grimes
1. My system was basically working last time I updated it several months 
ago.


2. Now both of my main web browsers are severely if not utterly foobar.

3. It required effort to change the system from the first state to the 
second...


-> how much effort did it it take? =\


That said, the situation here was very stratge. I was looking for a 
chance to insert some down time for the system to swap out the water 
block on the CPU. I had gone out shopping and when I returned Chromium 
had suddenly stopped working for reasons I can't fathom. Ok, so I took 
the machine down and did the maintenance.


When I brought it back up, chromium was still foobar and I'm like WTF...

Apparently it inserted trillions of crash reports in its log directory 
and rm -rf'ing the crash reports alone is taking a very long time. (HDD 
on that volume...)


On the build side, my pain list is as follows:

Forgive a naive question that I only ask because it hasn't come up yet:
is the power buttonan option to wake the machine?

Everyone has their own preferred workflow and I've always just disabled
USB wake entirely to avoid accidental waking, and then just tap the
power button instead.

Heh!  I suspect this behaviour annoys more people than just you.  We use desks 
where the keyboard and separate mouse are both stored on a sliding tray under 
the desk.  Putting the PC on sleep and carelessly sliding the tray under the 
desk causes the mouse to move and with it an unwanted wake up event.  Other 
jobs took priority and have not looked into a fix for it.

Often there are options in the BIOS/UEFI to choose what can cause it to
come out of suspension.

Unfortunately they are already off (the bios has PS2 settings) - the mouse
is part of a keyboard/mouse set using a Logitech unifying USB dongle.  I
can use a udev rule to turn off waking via the USB port, but I cant
separate the mouse from the keyboard - and I need the keyboard enabled to
wake the PC up.

Usually, Logitech mice have a switch on the bottom to physically turn them
on or off. Usually I use that to circumvent wake-on-USB, rather than pulling
out the USB wart.

Have a look in '/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup files' to see if tweaking sys
files can stop your USB mouse waking up the OS:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.1/driver-api/pm/devices.html#interfaces-for-entering-system-sleep-states


the above seems like a dead end - the mouse and keyboard share the usb device 
through the Logitech Unifying Receiver - they are not broken out at that level 
so disabling USB disables both ... and I need the keyboard to bring it out of 
suspend.

I think there are actually two problems ... any mouse movement immediately 
after clicking the button seems to be cached and triggers a resume within a few 
seconds after suspending and even a slight movement of the mouse at any time 
triggers a resume.  Its an optical mouse, so movements are generated if you 
pick it up to turn it off so that's out.  All I have been able to do is to 
position it out of the way, carefully click the button and immediately leave it 
alone ... this mostly works :(

This over-sensitive behaviour seems to have started with later 5.15 kernels and 
has become annoyingly worse with 6.1 - before that it seemed to have a 
threshold before it would resume, but thats probably just my imagination now 
its bugging me :)

I am starting to wonder if its a "just me" problem.

Usually, Logitech mice have a switch on the bottom to physically turn them

Yes, you are right. The same flag was set as +drafts for the same zeromq
package in another config file as it was earlier demanded by jupyterlab
package.
So, the issue is currently fixed. Thank you.

Show us what you have in /etc/portage/package.use/ipython (and the

Also, check if you have set the drafts flag on zeromq in a different

[gentoo-user] portage ignores -drafts flag set in /etc/portage/package.use

2023-04-06 Thread gevisz
After running the following command to update my Gentoo:
# emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --backtrack=120
 --verbose-conflicts --ask world

portage reported the following:

The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by dev-python/pyzmq-25.0.2::gentoo[-test]
# required by dev-python/qtconsole-5.4.0::gentoo
# required by dev-python/ipython-8.12.0::gentoo[qt5]
# required by dev-python/ipyparallel-8.4.1::gentoo
>=net-libs/zeromq-4.3.4-r1 -drafts

I have set this in /etc/portage/package.use/ipython file.
However, after running the command
# emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --backtrack=120
 --verbose-conflicts --ask world
once again, portage reports the same message again and refuses to proceed.

I even allowed it to write to a file in the package.use directory itself,
which it did creating a new file there.
However, after running the command
# emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --backtrack=120
 --verbose-conflicts --ask world
it again reports the same message:

The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by dev-python/pyzmq-25.0.2::gentoo[-test]
# required by dev-python/qtconsole-5.4.0::gentoo

# required by dev-python/ipyparallel-8.4.1::gentoo
>=net-libs/zeromq-4.3.4-r1 -drafts

Trying to run the command
# emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --backtrack=120  --newuse
--verbose-conflicts --ask world
does not change much as well.

I have also tried to recompile the package zeromq with the command
# emerge -1 zeromq
As the result the package has been recompiled but with the same +drafts use
flag.
