By default, BOINC daemon is started by root and supposedly drops
permissions after a bit. However, the CERNVM VirtualBox application
cannot run as root, so they recommend running BOINC from a user
account that has virtualbox permissions; VirtualBox, on the other
hand, will not run as root for secur

Do portage first; then GCC and the basic system utilities (glibc,

If you need a new kernel, make it and then reboot.

Depending on which BOINC projects you choose to run, BOINC may or may
not need continual access to the Internet.
Most of the projects I run only need intermittent access to upload and
receive new workunits, but CERN projects need
continuous access while running.
Also, BOINC will run if the certific

the rest of the unit.
The only limiting link is the ADSL link, the rest of the place ru

Has Alan ever posted his "jackhammer" script for some experts to look at?
I get by really well with a small script that reads the eix outputs, finds
the "[U]"

Doing anything more than that will be a cause of pain and suffering.

Just on a hunch: check that /var/lib/sddm exists and is owned by the sddm
user. This bit me (through my own fault) just a week ago.

Is the "user" boinc runs as in the vboxusers" group?
By default, boinc runs as a non-root (daemon?) user and if its group is not
in the vboxusers group,
VirtualBox will not start or run for the user.
The recommended workaround is to run boinc as a real user (generally "you")

Not sure of any books, but some documents on the Gentoo Wiki about the
various projects are helpful.

After upgrading the gentoo-sources kernel or linux-headers, there are
some packages that are dependent on the kernel config or on specific
kernel modules. The ebuild "inherit" for eclasses will have the classes

I did have to redo my kernel config almost completely with the 4.4.0 release.
I did:
make mrproper #cleans eveything up
make defconfig #basic x86_64 config
make xconfig #custom configs (needs qt)

I had a similar problem with some packages wanting virtual/ffmpeg and
it wouldn't take the -libav USE flag without adding a keyword for
~amd64 on the virtual.
(yes, I am going the opposite way from you, but the cause seem the
same -- various USE flags are not yet adjusted in the stable
branches.)
As I recall, tmp was often a small, fast disk drive, compared to the
slow lumbering washing machines that most data resided on. Several
sites I recall had a couple of head per track drives; one would be for
the swap partitions and the other was for temporary stuff that was
being worked on. After th

Had trouble sending the build log because the log is more 0660 asnd thus
can't be read by
firefox for mailing.
Should these instead be 0664 so that others can at least read the logs?
