It seems as if it saves the output as discreet lines and re-wraps them individually based on the terminal width. So, the output of an ls -l in a 132 character window, causes each line to be re-wrapped (as below) when reducing the window width.

"reverse wraparound" is when you backspace off the left side of one line and the cursor goes to the far right of the line above. However, lines do not wrap around when I resize the xterm window. :( I've never seen this work inside of XTerm. I /have/ seen screen (running in XTerm) reflow the text when the window is resized. But that is /screen/ doing it, not XTerm. And by doing it, it's creating new data for XTerm to display. Well, when I anything, I tried shrinking the window width and when it became narrower than my bash prompt then the prompt only started wrapping around! That's the shell reacting to the new terminal window width. (Much like screen above.) The rest of the content (I had just run the 'ls' command) would not change from its originally displayed line width. XTerm (and many other consoles) only display the output as it was given to them. They don't change the output when the window changes. So if they are given 80 characters of text on one line and 35 on the next line, XTerm (et al.) display those two lines of text, even on a wider window. XTerm is not aware (cognizant of the fact) that the 80 characters and the 35 characters are related to each other. If you resize the window smaller, XTerm drops the characters between the new width and the old width that it had. It no longer has them to display when you widen the window back out. These are the flags I have installed x11-terms/xterm-337 with: openpty truetype unicode -Xaw3d -toolbar -xinerama The same problem applies to other xterm based terminals, on various installations of mine, but as I mentioned rxvt works as I expect/prefer. :-/ I am not, and have not, been aware of an XTerm option to reflow the text when widening (or narrowing) the window.

I'm sure there are cleverer options to use with eix, so it only prints the database fields you want, but the above has served most of my needs well. Install app-portage/ eix, then run eix-update and from then on you can use eix-sync to sync portage and/or overlays with a mirror and search for the package you want. rxvt-unicode is a terminal emulator, like xterm, konsole, terminology, xfce4- terminal , etc. which you use within your xsession, instead of having to switch over to a tty.

[gentoo-user] line wrap over in xterm/konsole
I'm not sure I use the correct terminology below, but please bear with me while I try to describe a long standing problem I'm trying to solve: I've been mostly using x11-terms/rxvt-unicode as a terminal emulator in X. When resizing its window to a larger width, long lines of code which had wrapped over to the next line, are re-adjusted (reflow) to the new line length covering the increased width of the resized wider window. I assume this is because the urxvt window content is redrawn in real time. Not all commands allow this. For example, 'ps axf' neither wraps over nor is redrawn, chopping off all content not fitting within the available terminal window width. In xterm and friends the lines remain at the same original fixed width, whether the window is resized to a wider setting or not. In other words the line of code does not reflow to adapt to the extra length afforded by a now wider window aperture. Is there some setting I can apply to address this annoying phenomenon? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Putting the kernel versions you want to keep into @world by slot will keep them from being depcleaned. E.g., if depclean wants to get rid of gentoo-sources-4.19.44 but you want to keep it, use # emerge --noreplace sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:4.19.44 Note the colon. Neil's method is better, as once you implement it you never have to do anything again.

There are: $ ls -ld /lib* drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Jun 7 13:23 /lib drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 12288 Jun 14 23:42 /lib64 and $ ls -ld /usr/lib* drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Jun 15 00:06 /usr/lib drwxr-xr-x 104 root root 159744 Jun 19 08:15 /usr/lib64 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Jun 14 23:54 /usr/libexec all of which as you can see are real directories. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] 17.1 profiles and no-multilib layout
Hi, I couldn't find an appropriate documentation for this, so it is not clear to me how a __no-multilib__ layout looks like with 17.1 profiles. All for amd64. With 17.0-no-multilib '/lib' is a symlink to '/lib64'. For 17.1-no-multilib I see 4 possibilities: 1. no change 2. both '/lib' and '/lib64' are directories (don't expect this, but it's possible) 3. 'lib64' is a symlink to '/lib' 4. only one folder '/lib' __OR__ 'lib64' exists With an eye to lfs I would expect to have one '/lib' only. Did anybody the switch already and can tell me what happens?
