Yes, but to be on the safe side, rename it rather than removing it. GRUB will look in either /boot/grub or /boot/grub2, from your setup it looks like it goes for grub2 first. -- Neil Bothwick All right, set phasers to deep fat fry! pgpE1SQqce54D.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[gentoo-user] /boot/grub and grub2 directories
Howdy, I was cleaning out my /boot directory. It's on its own partition and I remove outdated kernels and configs etc every once in a while. I was noticing that I have two grub directories. Based on time stamps, I think I can delete the plain grub directory and I'm pretty much certain grub2 is the current and active grub directory. Is it safe to remove the old grub directory? Nothing in it has been touched that the time stamps show in a long while. The grub2 directory was when I did my last kernel update. I just want to be certain before I remove the directory. More info below. ls -al /boot/ drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 17408 Jun 18 2019 grub drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Nov 30 10:55 grub2 By the way, I had the old grub installed on here ages ago. Can't recall when I switched to the new, much larger, grub2. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)

[gentoo-user] x11-base/xorg-server does not want to update
Hello, As part of my update procedure I do a "eclean-dist --destructive --verbose" at the end when everything is updated and runs OK. Since some weeks I am getting the following message when running eclean-dist (I was thinking this maybe would resolve it self after a while...): "The following unavailable installed packages were found x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.11". This is happening on two different machines with different GPU-Cards. One with an AMD/ATI (Radeon) and one with Intel+NVIDIA (the output below is from the AMD/ATI machine). Looking at "eix x11-base/xorg-server" it shows me that there is an update from 1.20.11 to 1.20.13-r1 available, but when I run "emerge --verbose --ask --oneshot x11-base/xorg-server --verbose-conflicts" I get the following: -8<-- These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Thank you both. Now I just have to shoehorn it into /etc/bash/bashrc on the
SSH server...

When you are connected via SSH, the environment variable SSH_CONNECTION
is set. I store the color in a variable and set it to yellow if
`[[ -n "${SSH_CONNECTION}" ]]`. I can't give you the exact snippet
since I use Zsh, but it should be possible to use a variable as color
in bash's prompt?
Kind regards, tastytea

[gentoo-user] Bash prompt colours
Hello list, Is there a way to set the colour of a bash prompt according to whether the user has SSH'd in? This machine is a compile host for some others on the LAN, and it would be helpful if it were more obvious that I'm connected to another machine. Of course, the standard prompt tells me the machine name, but something more conspicuous would help. -- Regards, Peter.
