Once you do one of those, you should be able to start, stop and restart

I also noticed that when you exit out, it goes back to the search
results instead of the previous menu. That is good when you have to
enable several things to get the driver you want to show up. What a
awesome piece of info.

I've been dealing with this for a while. When I do my updates, it
either omits seamonkey because the rust version installed is to new or

The one thing that stumps me is figuring out how to tell dracut what

noticed my drive was SMR, I could feel the heads going back

it. You can't really hear it tho. If you can feel those little bumps

Note how the kernel and init thingys have the same basic name. I add
-1, -2 etc to kernels if I have to rebuild to add or fix something.
Example, when I had to add the driver for my new network card, it became
-2. The tools seem to not mind that.
Hope that helps if you want to try some part or all of this method.

nt them from switching and not realizing it can break
things until it is configured correctly. Bad thing is, it breaks one
thing that is needed to get help, the connection to the internet. If it
is a remote machine, that is really bad.
Let's hope this alerts others to double and maybe even triple check

doesn't affect me but I'm sure
there are people, maybe even large companies/orgs that it does and it
could be a issue for them. It could even be a security issue if two
nics gets switched and one has a lot of security and the other doesn't.
Either way, I'm up and running again. Even rebuilt my backup kernels to

ainers. I'm hopeful that it will
keep being maintained even tho it can be a headache for devs at times.
Thing is, I've read a lot of distros use eudev and avoid the systemd
version as much as possible, even tho eudev still has the same code from
my understanding. Still, I'd rather stick with what works for me.
Maybe we will know pretty soon what the status of this will be.

space wasn't a issue. With the init thingys tho, it doubles or so the
space needed for each kernel. So, when I get a couple new stable ones,
I delete old ones to keep a little breathing room.

Over the years, I've adjusted options until I got a easy update path.

It protects from most all the problems a computer can have with power.

Additional protection adds more protection but a UPS is a really good

It looks like it wants you to include the category as well in

Just a FYI. I'm showing this here for that package.

I'm no pro at this but I think if you update xinit and sysvinit first it
will clear that block. It could be the other way around tho. If init
packages first doesn't work, try the display-manager-init first.
Sometimes emerge spits things out backwards.
One could remove those two *init packages but if you are actually
running that install, it could cause issues. If done while chrooting
in, it should be safe.
One of those methods *should* work. In theory. ;-)

When it was
completed, the video shows the right play time and it works as it

While it may be a odd workaround, it did work. I wouldn't have thought
about that if it wasn't suggested to re-encode the file.
Thanks to all. Took a strange path but got what I wanted. ;-)

about it. My question is, can this be fixed somehow? Can I get mplayer
or something to process the file and adjust the time it thinks the video
is to what it actually is?
Bonus, how in the world did it get that way?
Thanks.

ine. So, something says it is busy but eventually
releases it if left alone for a while. I'd like to know what it is and
if it is really in use or not. Thing is, I can't find a way to know
what it is that is using it. The dmsetup command shows it is in use but
no way to know what is using it.

? You can use
> 'mirrorselect -i -r' for this task.
This is a very good idea. I had to switch a few months ago. The one I
was using was either really busy or had other issues that slowed it to a
crawl. It reminded me of dial-up days. I might add, I found some that
didn't appear to be set up to sync with anymore. It appeared they
removed Gentoo files from the server. Could be a glitch so I didn't
report it.
I synced last night, about 12 hours ago, without any problems.

lso luckily you caught it was about
to remove it as well.
The lesson from this, when you install a package outside of
emerge/portage and use emerge/portage to install packages it depends on,
you have to be careful of the problems it creates. You can't expect
emerge/portage to understand what you are doing and why.
Dale

e/portage has no knowledge of the package,
it can't making decisions about that package or what it depends on.
Neil did post a good solution tho. It's easy enough and will at least
tell emerge/portage that the packages are needed even if it doesn't know
why.
Dale
:-) :-)
would be another good way to solve
this issue. It does mean emerge/portage doesn't know why the packages
are needed but it wouldn't remove them because the user told
emerge/portage not too. That may be better than adding daemontools to
the world file and much easier than creating a ebuild.
Nice thinking Neil. :-D
Dale
:-) :-)
lled on my system that isn't
done by emerge/portage. Even old software that is dying is still known
to emerge/portage. When it no longer works, I'll unmerge it and move on
to other software. At the moment, Gnome-mplayer comes to mind on that.
Thing is, emerge/portage is aware of every single package installed on
my system.
At least you have two options that should correct the problem. Make a
ebuild or add the needed packages for your mail program to the world
file. Either way should make things work. I'd think the ebuild is the
best way but one has to write the ebuild. Adding the needed packages to
world file is easiest but could change if you upgrade the mail program.
Hope you find one of those a good option.

changing. I'd start by reaching out to the maintainer. I guess a bug
report would be considered reaching out but a email may also work as well.
Just my thoughts. May not be worth much. ;-)

can
see a multi-user system admin having reason to do so but wonder if
others change it? After all, if there is only one person using a
system, just come up with a good password. If it is a multi-user
system, then a admin might need to force people to come up with a good
password.
I've never noticed these config files either. Now I'm curious. To be
honest, my passwords kinda suck security wise. Well, my passwords for
encrypted stuff is very strong but my user password may could be guessed
easily.
