About a year ago, I did some reading on that topic and found an unofficial step-by-step guide on how to do it. After reading through the procedure it a couple times, I decided that backing up my /home partition and then reinstalling from scratch would be faster and easier. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow!

[gentoo-user] [OT] atom+nouveau
I have a problem I know is not Gentoo related (because it happens also in Slackware, in the same computer). The motherboard is not that widely used, so before filing a bug I would like to know if someone out there has the same problem, or is ot just me. AT3IONT-I DELUXE with Nouveau driver The problem: screen completely black, both in X and in virtual consoles, the system boots (I can ssh into it, and X is up). I can even type commands (blindly, of course). ** It happens only with 4.8.* kernels ** It works fine with 4.7.10. I use custom kernels, but the configuration of 4.8.* was inherited from 4.7.* via make oldconfig. I will never ever again buy Nvidia, but I'm not ready yet to ditch this low power, noiseless computer, and I would prefer not to get stuck with 4.7.*. TIA Jorge Almeida
[gentoo-user] KWallet doesn't recognise my password
Hello list, Until this morning I've had no real problems with KMail and co. for quite a while, but something's upset the wallet system so that my password is no longer recognised when I start KMail-2. This is what I've tried: 1. Re-created a blank /home partition and restored from yesterday's backup. (Yesterday's setup was working nicely.) No difference, so: 2. Deleted ~/kde4/share/apps/kwallet (while not running live) and rebooted. No difference there either. Is there something I can restore from backup to enable me to use the wallet again - perhaps something in /etc/ssl or /var/tmp? Maybe I need to remerge the wallet packages, or maybe I'll have to create an entirely new user for myself. I hoped I'd seen the last of that kind of masochism. In case it's relevant, the appearance of this problem coincided with a new kernel, 4.9.0, which I compiled as usual and rebooted. I just got a blank screen. I had to revert to 4.8.14 and rebuild the associated modules before I could boot, and then fsck ran to check all the file systems. -- Regards Peter

Re: [gentoo-user] kernel 4.8.11 nvidia trouble [solved]
solved; there was a problem with gcc; genkernel; and some other package. ( too old) driver now compile successful.

[gentoo-user] do I need ppp ?
I access the Internet using 'dhcpcd' via a simple router. I have 'ppp' installed with a note "for PPP via baselayout". Do I in fact need to keep 'ppp' ? -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT`-O--O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
Re: [gentoo-user] do I need ppp ?
You can remove safety. Your (adsl) router is already providing a ppp over something for you.

I wouldn't think the kernel is relevant to the kwallet problem. I recall having to run a migration script or something, to migrate the kwallet4 to kwallet5. Kmail is still using kwallet4. Did you update pam by any chance? This should be something to look into for kwallet. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
