Hello List, This isn't normal. Is it due to the new process model? I think I read that now they emulate chrome, which possibly means both browsers are unsuitable for use. Firefox will require its threads be OOM killed if not closely monitored. If it can be fixed - can anyone explain? Cheers,

[gentoo-user] grub2: hidden menu unless shift pressed?

I'm trying to figure out how to configure grub 2.02 so that no menu is displayed and it will boot immediately to the default unless shift is held down during boot -- in which case it displays the menu and waits indefinitely for a choice to be made. This is a bare-bones grub2 installation without

[gentoo-user] webkit-gtk build failure and masking confusion

Hi, all, A recent update demanded that I rebuild webkit-gtk-2.4.11-r200. Unfortunately I cannot get this package to rebuild. In my experience, this particular version of webkit-gtk has always been a very fragile build. I've put way too much time into wrestling with it and I'd like to get rid of

Re: [gentoo-user] Boot Gentoo live iso from grub

I take it you have read https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-790015-highlight-grub2+iso.html. This did not work for me either, and it would leave me in the same place: the root filesystem would not be uncompressed and pivoted to. I can't remember exactly what the change was, but I think I
