Re: [gentoo-user] stage3 only for i486?

as for the i486 only thing, my guess is because the kernel dropped support for 386 when 3.8 came out On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 4:41 PM, Daniel Frey djqf...@gmail.com wrote: On 04/02/2013 12:17 PM, Alan McKinnon wrote: Oh, and gentoo is fast is a nono swear word these days. That's ricing :-)

[gentoo-user] icedtea-web not accepting icedtea-bin as a dependency?

Is there a reason why icedtea-web won't accept icedtea-bin? I thought that icedtea-bin and icedtea were interchangeable.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: clean-up root partition

A good place to start is to make a hotlist of anything that isn't owned by a package. You really shouldn't randomly delete things that portage thinks belongs to someone. But if you find orphaned junk, it could be fair game. If you have something bulky that DOES belong to a package, consider

[gentoo-user] Question about genkernel's default kernel config

Hey, just curious about something: How is genkernel's "default" kernel config maintained? Is it fixed, or is it maintained as a diff against upstream, or what? I'm curious because I'm considering if I should just go straight to the kernel's own built in defaults. I know a lot of it sets up

[gentoo-user] Suggestion for freenode

I think #gentoo-mentors should be filled by people willing to serve as mentors, and cater to devs in training who need a mentor ^^ What do you guys think?

That channel is also on the good list, but I'm more talking about using #gentoo-mentors as a specific spot where mentors can hangout and new devs in training can find them. On Sat, Sep 3, 2016 at 11:27 PM, Hans de Graaff wrote: > On Sat, 03 Sep 2016 21:41:51 -0700, Jigme

Also of note is that the bopm confug uses blacklists other than njabl which are still active.

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

I still use bopm, and it built fine last time I emerged it. If hopm isn't in the tree yet, why was bopm still pmasked for removal? Reason for asking is I'm curious about removal procedures. I was under the impression that replacement packages get added to the tree before their obsolete

Just of note, the classic version seems to support cloud based chats now. There's been some conversions going on on the skype servers, and I reported a couple of bugs to microsoft which appear to have been recently fixed. On Tue, Oct 11, 2016 at 9:45 AM, Raymond Jennings <shent...@gmail.

[gentoo-user] qt4 app's icons

[gentoo-user] Removal of classic skype

Due to the removal of qt4, all of its reverse dependencies are also going to be removed. This decision has already been made by the qt project and is not up for discussion. Furthermore, qt4 has a large number of security bugs and it has also been brought to my attention that it even fails to

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel 4.14.7 no longer switches to VT7

That sounds like a possible issue with your X configuration. Did you double check /etc/conf.d/xdm and the like to make sure that your VT is indeed set to 7. Also double check your display manager configuration. If your manual VT switch works fine I'd suspect a misbehaving display manager

I just noticed that the nss use flag is a local use flag provided by 11 separate packages. This is over the 5 for moving to global except that I also noticed the use flags are different. Would a cleanup on this part help any?

[gentoo-user] Why was ekiga removed?

I just checked for ekiga in the tree, and I was just about to request it be added when I noticed a few bugs indicating it used to be in the tree, implying it was since removed. A log check within /usr/portage/net-voip/ekiga reveals that it was apparently removed pre-git
