[gentoo-user] SNAFU: The plot thickens!

My ordeal with grub continues. I tried the bleeding edge GRUB, no change in behavior. I realized that I had an additional source of information that I had been neglecting. The boot fixer thumb drive I had in the back of the mascheen was booting UEFI into a crappy bloating debian-ish thingy.

I looked for more information on GRUB form upstream but, on first impression, it's been an abandoned project since 2012... Apparently some users have posted patches to things like the invalid sector size problem but the project has been deaf to these problems and has done nothing whatsoever. =( I

Hello all, solved the problem. Looks like klibc does not build when distcc is enabled. After disabling distcc klibc builds correctly. Best regards Jens Am 25.01.2017 um 19:51 schrieb Jens Pelzetter: > Hello all, > > on both of Gentoo systems dev-libs/klibc-2.0.4-r2 fails with the same > error

[gentoo-user] What has happened to the Gentoo tree?

Is it only me or have others the same issue. I have lots of packages installed which are more recent then what is currently in the tree, e.g. dev-libs/gobject-introspection (installed here version 1.50.0 on 2016/11/25) but the most recent version in the tree is 1.48 Many thanks for your
