[gentoo-user] how to clean up

Hi, I'm running out of space and I see I have many versions of all pkgs.  Is the proper way to get rid of all older tarballs - but retain the current ones - to simply use the --clean option with emerge?  Any other options necessary?

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: sysrescue+new asus mobo+secure boot=0

I boot with UEFI using that setting so i assume it means non-Windows-UEFI, weird. I've been booting Windows and Gentoo without issue so Other OS should be fine for that. On Thu, May 13, 2021, 1:03 PM antlists wrote: > On 13/05/2021 00:51, John Blinka wrote: > > And it appears your intuition is

Hello list, I'm trying to install a fresh sytem on my workstation. I've started with no USE flags set, other than what was requested in emerge -uaDvN @world, but the update stops at pango, which fails with a ninja no-can- do error. I've followed the handbook exactly. Before I log a bug, has

On another thread, I had to dive into into /var/log/messages, and I realized that it was not being rotated. It's 32 megabytes+, most of which is iptables reject messages for Facebook trackers. What do I need to do to get log rotation working? /etc/logrotate.conf
