I'm not sure if I should have used pvchange to disable /dev/sdk1 or not. The problem I did run into was getting it back. I ran the command to enable it but it didn't work as expected. I had files missing. So, I unmounted it, ran pvscan, vgscan and lvscan in that order. I then ran the command above again to be sure and remounted the LV group. It worked that time. All files were there. So, either one has to rescan them or I should have also ran pvchange to disable as well. Maybe someone else can expand on this. While I'm at it. Is there a way to reset the sdk part? The old was sdd and I was hoping when I moved the drive, it would change with it. The reason is, usually when I hook up my external drives, they use sdk. I'm sort of set up for that. A couple other things use sdk as well. I'm not sure if there is a easy way to do that or not. Wonder if it will reset when I reboot??? Dale :-) :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] emerge-webrsync
I was doing the emerge-webrsync step in the install instructions for gentoo and that was to install a gentoo snapshot.

It is a library, no executable included. No idea what packages use it. The kde package is, I suppose, kde-apps/kcolorchooser, but it would pull a bunch of dependencies.

I can't tell if you are looking for recommendations or just what else is out there. gcolor3? https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/gcolor3 It looks like the latest release is 2.4.0, and has been renamed to "Color Picker" I haven't tried, but it doesn't look like an ebuild would be too hard to create. media-libs/kcolorpicker already in portage.

As you noticed, setting --jobs higher than 1 automatically sets --quiet-build, and makes it unable to activate. It will tell you after portage is finished about any failed packages, and where that log is, but if you want to see all that output while it's compiling you'd need to script a way to automatically check for new build.log files in /var/tmp/portage as new package compile jobs starts and monitor them. Basically, my advice is to use --jobs=1 if you want to see the output. Regards, Arve

Found no snapshots on rit.edu and went back from now to March 6, 2022. I'm using openrc now. Has gentoo got a site where it shows latest available snapshot information for its snapshots?

I was planning to wait until pvmove was done. It actually finished not to long after I sent the message. It was what prompted me to see if this is possible. I found a page that talks about it but the info didn't explain it much. I'm pretty sure that is the right command but given the limited info, I wasn't sure. Reading the man page helped a little but still wasn't 100% sure then either. Thing is, I only have to unplug and move one of the two drives on that group. Sounds like the right command tho. If not, someone speak up. Dale :-) :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] Hard drive error from SMART
Howdy, I got the drive and pvmove is doing its thing. I would like to unplug one of the drives and physically move them around without shutting down my system. Is there a way to tell LVM to disable the drives while I'm doing this and restart them when done? I found the command vgchange -a n but I'm not sure if that is correct. Honestly, I want to be really sure before I unplug things. I assume the "n" changes to "y" to restart them? Thanks. Dale :-) :-) P. S. BTW, the drive has passed two new tests with no error. The tests are slower than usual tho. I'm not sure why tho.
Re: [gentoo-user] error in /etc/portage/make.conf file
Likely need to get a stage3 file that doesn't use systemd too. Another user on the speakup list let me know they don't use systemd and don't run into the trouble I've had.

[gentoo-user] error in /etc/portage/make.conf file
after the LC_MESSAGES=C line, caught signal 2 exiting gets printed in the file. Could use of nokeymap boot parameter prevent this error?
[gentoo-user] gentoo after chroot has computer crash
Not only does speakup crash but the system once turned off cannot be started up again without use of the reset button. This amd system has about 14gb of ram and 8 cores on it. Something else that happens every so often is that the fans run really fast and sometimes not during gentoo installation. Could all of this be connected to smp? If so, on the boot line if I do gentoo speakup.synth=soft,nosmp is that the correct syntax? Use of read highlighted helps with mirrorselect and I may be wrong on this one but one of each kind of server is all that should be selected the second one of which is rsync.
