Greetings,
I maintain an ~amd64 system remotely over SSH (from downstairs), and that
includes rebooting it with, say, a new kernel. Sometimes the system is running
a KDE/Plasma GUI, and I want to log out gracefully from it before rebooting,
so that my session is saved. The question is: how? Eve
Greetings,
I see that the latest version of portage has improved the handling of giant
packages. Today I had a few dozen kde-frameworks packages to install, together
with webkit-gtk. That job was near the top of the list, so it was started
before most of the kde ones. I have this in make.conf:

No, nothing like that. The sources and config files were all present, but the
extra_firmware entries had been deleted.

Has anyone else seen grossly excessive CPU load since adopting the new Wayland
way of doing things? /Top/ is showing 1300% going on kwin_wayland and the
whole of the rest going on plasmashell.
I need hardly say this doesn't make a responsive system.

I do that with a simple 'reboot' command, I lose all my desktop contents. Not

Where I live, updates to portage itself usually take longer to appear as a
