[gentoo-user] exim4u

2020-09-13 Thread Dan Egli
Does anyone know of an ebuild for exim4u? I've seen it used before and it's awesome, but it's a pain in the posterior to setup correctly unless you know exactly what you're doing. I'd love to apply it on my server(s) but I'm not very good at installing and the times I've tried it the install

Hi Silvio, I think the problem is that you have told portage to use both nouveau and nvidia as a driver for your card. If you have both drivers installed and do not blacklist one of them, the other will not work. > # modprobe nvidia > modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device

[gentoo-user] pdftk stopped working

Some time in the past month or two, pdftk has completely stopped working. No matter what file I point it to or what commands I try, I always get the message $ pdftk Done. Input errors, so no output created. If the file doesn't actually exist, I do get the expected error: $ pdftk
