[gentoo-user] Why does procmail need to know what my mailer is?
I was emerging system and world on my laptop after a gcc upgrade. I windowshaded the xterm on my desktop that was ssh'd into the laptop. All that was visible was the bar at the top of the window, with the title indicating that emerge was working on procmail, item 85 of 95. I went away for a couple of hours, touched the shift key to wake up the screen, and saw that emerge was still on procmail... WTF!?!? I opened the xterm and saw that the procmail build had an interactive prompt, waiting for an answer from me... Could not find any mailer. It should be a mailer accepting at least one plain destination address as its only argument (any sendmail compatible mailer will do), and the mail-to-be-sent on stdin. What is your mailer called? (You can override this in config.h) I replied oogabooga and it went on its merry way. I use ssmtp, but I've made 1 tweak to my system. Note the following *DIRECTORIES*...

Are you running the updated git of gnome-overlay? I had troubles with
gnome-settings-daemon until a couple of days.
I believe I have been running the latest overlay. I do an eix-sync
every morning and /etc/eix-sync.conf contains
-C --ignore-default-opts
-C --quiet
gnome
However, I will run
layman --sync-all
Can you try to start GNOME with a clean config (no ~/.config, no
~/.local, no ~/.gconf, no ~/.gnome*).
I tried that this morning; no improvement
Also, in my case, having gnome-shell extensions installed caused me
problems when upgrading.
I do not have the extensions installed.
From the gentoo bug #385525 there is a report that disabling the
gnome-shell USE flag for gdm, permits gdm-3.2.0-r1 to run, but does not
solve the problem with gnome-shell crashing. I can confirm this
behavior and am now running gdm-3.2.0-r1 with gnome-shell disabled.
I just now did
layman --sync-all
emerge --newuse --update --with-bdeps=y world
Only libraw and (of course) portage were merged.
emerge --depclean found nothing redundant
revdep-rebuild still wants to reinstall totem-pl-parser and
gpointing-device-settings. Both fail with bugs that (I believe) are
unrelated.
In a fit of paranoia, I did another reboot at this point.
The results were the same: gdm does NOT crash, but gnome-shell DOES
Perhaps I have bad USE flags (-gnome-shell is a new change the others
are as they have been for quite a while)?

Afaik you can enable this with gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name gnome-fallback Actually the gnome-shell segfault is the 2nd problem. gdm crashes with Oh no, a problem has occurred unless its gnome-shell use flag is disabled, which could possibly be the cause of gnome-shell failing. Couldn't it be the other way round? gdm crashes with gnome-shell use-flag set, because gnome-shell segfaults? It runs without the flag, because in this case there's no dep to the shell. Canek has suggested we attack the gdm problem (see other msgs in this thread) and that is the current plan. Unfortunately we are still not there. Imo both problems are related (see above). In bug 385525, those who needed -gnome-shell for gdm could then not get gnome-shell to run (i.e., just like me). It does seem that many are successfully running gdm so I must have something wrong in my setup. What use flags did you build gdm with.

If you are using a newer version of xf86-video-intel, then you are
