[gentoo-user] Plasma upgrade: Part Deux.

So, I have a week off and have time to mess around trying to upgrade to Plasma once again. I have got it mostly-somewhat upgraded, but I have two bizarre problems. The first one is I have two volume controls in the tray. I have no idea why, and both seem to present slightly different controls.

[gentoo-user] {OT} ISP requires MTU below 1500?

A while back I was having networking issues. I eventually tried drastically lowering the MTU of all the systems onsite and the issues disappeared. I always thought the issue was due to the MTU on our modem/router. Today I read that AT DSL requires a 1492 MTU so I increased the MTU of our

[gentoo-user] Infrastructure?

Just curious, but how are gentoo's infra assets organized? Do you guys use VMs on top of hardware machines and whatnot? Reasons for asking: * general curiosity * wondering how a migration to use anongit.gentoo.org instead of github would go, particularly if it would help ease pressure on the

[gentoo-user] How to use efibootmgr

Hello list, I'm trying to install a customised version of SysRescCD on a USB drive, and it's all uphill. The current stage has me trying to create a UEFI boot entry for it. I have several entries I no longer need and I'm trying to delete them with efibootmgr. This is what happens: #
