It's all very well for the help text to suggest the you'll get none, but real life doesn't work that way. Not here, anyway. So yes, I'd put it back as it was. -- Regards, Peter.

I think console related logs will be in your syslog or dmesg, if this involves errors from interaction with the kernel. Not sure anything else would be recorded by default. If you use ssdm as a DM look for ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log for X session logs. > here are my configs, 2010 version has: > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 7 2020 xorg.conf.d > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2490 Oct 21 2010 xorg.conf.good > > Section "InputDevice" > Identifier "Keyboard0" > Driver "kbd" > Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak" > EndSection > > Since that was too simple and made too much sense, they had to make it > uglier... > current active config: > > Section "InputClass" > Identifier "keyboard-layout" > MatchIsKeyboard"on" > Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak" > Option "XkbModel" "pc104" > #Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle" > EndSection > > > atg@tortoise ~ $ setxkbmap > Error loading new keyboard description > atg@tortoise ~ $ Try this: $ setxkbmap -print -verbose 10 > still have package x11-apps/xinput-1.6.3installed even > tho eclean-dist wants it gone, must be error because no clue how x11 is > supposed to work without it. =( There was a news item three years ago about this change: https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2020-04-03-deprecation-of-legacy-x11-input-drivers.html Try to set your keyboard layout manually to minimise typing errors: setxkbmap -layout us -variant ,dvorak Set in your make.conf: INPUT_DEVICES="libinput" Then run: emerge -uaNDv --with-bdeps=y @world emerge --depclean -v -a revdep-rebuild -v -- -a to bring your packages up to date. Finally, revisit your xorg.conf, these days the configuration is in seperate files under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf. Something like this ought to work: Section "InputClass" Identifier "libinput keyboard catchall" MatchIsKeyboard "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "libinput" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbVariant" ",dvorak" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] compiling 6.1.33 should all warnings be treated as errors
Hi. I turned this flag on during my make oldconfig because the text said there should be no warnings. Is this premature? I did get some warnings during the make modules and it stopped the compile Thoughts? -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?
