Re: [gentoo-user] openssh-7.1_p1-r2 won't allow "nxserver" to connect [continued]
Thanks. I want root to be able to SSH in, so I commented out the "without-password" one, but it made no difference.

I'll try that and see what happens. The problem turns out to have been caused by the init script specifying --background to start-stop-daemon, which conflicts with chronyd's own forking to the background - at least, it does on my Atom box so it could elsewhere too.

Hm, I don't consider extended partitions as primary ones but as extended ones. When I need more than four partitions, I create three primary ones, an extended one and logical ones within the extended one. Why would I do that any other way? You cannot have a primary partition that covers the entire disk and then some.
[gentoo-user] upgrade gnome-3.16.2-r2 -> gnome-3.18.2
Hi List, Just by chance. Will upgrade from gnome-3.16.2-r2 to gnome-3.18.2 be smooth? Everything in my current Gnome version is working just fine. On the other hand, don't want to stay behind. Will the new version improvements compensate a eventual pain? Luck from your experience. Best, Fred
