[gentoo-user] what pgm is rotating my /var/log/syslog, etc. files?

I have two gentoo machines, my primary one and one I cloned off of that. The original gentoo machine has lots of nice /var/log/syslog.1.gz, etc. files. The clone has one big /var/log/syslog file. I now have logrotate installed in both machines.  I see that the original has cronie installed and

You were right, thank you.  When I put net.enp2s0 back in, it came up on reboot this time - the interface, that is.  I guess there was something else wrong when I still had it in the defaul runlevel.  My faith in openrc is restored :-) On 08/19/19 22:35, n952162 wrote: On 08/19/19 20:04, J.

I just ran into this, from  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dhcpcd /Static IP addresses/ // /In case the network interface card should be configured with a //static IP address //, add their data to ///etc/dhcpcd.conf//.//^[1]

Re: [gentoo-user] A bit O/T: Running android apps in QEMU

Hello, not exactly. But in Android Studio (which uses Android SDK) is bundled an emulator using qemu. Android Studio allows you to download an Android image (Android 2.0 up to Android 9) compiled for x86 and run it. This is mainly used for testing apps developed under Android Studio. Maybe this

Increasingly more and more services I prefer to access online keep asking me to download and use some app to be able to enjoy the goodness of their offering in the future. Invariably these are Android apps they think their customers will want to use. I don't have an android phone, but have

[gentoo-user] KDE machine -> Shutdown icons gone walkabout

Hi all, I recently, last week or so, did some updating of my KDE desktop and when I went to select "Shutdown" off the menu bar thingy, no icons for "Logout", "Shutdown" & "Some Other Thing" appeared as they used to. I in turn had to open up a shell, su and then "shutdown -t now" to bring the
