Greetings,
The journey continues...
I recently bought a Ugreen USB-3 external NVMe housing and a Samsung 990 Pro
4TB SSD. They worked fine for a few weeks, including yesterday when I used it
to back up my LAN server. Today, every attempt to connect it returns a dmesg

Greetings,
After reading the recent conversation on m.2 SSDs in a USB-3 enclosure, I
decided to give it a try. I bought a 4TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD and a
Ugreen NVMe USB-3 enclosure. I'm pleased with the performance, but when I
tried running fstrim on it I got a "not supported" error. Th

Greetings,
I was delighted to see Gentoo's venture into prebuilt packages, having two
small machines here. However, experience has rubbed some of the shine off.

or even no package at all, I've built from source in the

Greetings,
How can I prevent portage from auto-updating /etc/init.d/boinc?
I run BOINC on my machines, and /etc/init.d/boinc includes far too long a
timeout on start-stop-daemon when stopping the program. The minimum time it
will wait is 60s, which is a long time when you're waiting. On this ma

Greetings,
I maintain an ~amd64 system remotely over SSH (from downstairs), and that
includes rebooting it with, say, a new kernel. Sometimes the system is running
a KDE/Plasma GUI, and I want to log out gracefully from it before rebooting,
so that my session is saved. The question is: how? Eve
Greetings,
I see that the latest version of portage has improved the handling of giant
packages. Today I had a few dozen kde-frameworks packages to install, together
with webkit-gtk. That job was near the top of the list, so it was started
before most of the kde ones. I have this in make.conf:

Greetings,
A recent thread here reminded me of this utility, and I've run it on four
machines since the latest perl update. In three cases it all went swimmingly,
but on the fourth it tried its damnedest to remerge dbus with USE=systemd, and
so start converting the whole system to systemd. This

No, nothing like that. The sources and config files were all present, but the
extra_firmware entries had been deleted.

After an emerge -e1 kwayland plasma-workspace and a reboot, kwin_wayland is
down to 20-60% CPU and plasma_shell is barely visible in /top/.
Much improved, but it still isn't right.

Greetings,
Has anyone else seen grossly excessive CPU load since adopting the new Wayland
way of doing things? /Top/ is showing 1300% going on kwin_wayland and the
whole of the rest going on plasmashell.
