[gentoo-user] KDE plasmashell and wallpapers.

Howdy, It seems plasmashell and wallpapers for the desktop has a problem.  I'm not sure if it is just me or if it could affect others.  Either way, I have no idea how to fix it.  I have a LOT of wallpapers that I've downloaded/collected over the years.  Some are NASA pics of Mars, stars, galaxies

Re: [gentoo-user] NFS problem

What happens when you remove the IPv6 adresses from the NFS config? As you are using IPv4, those should not be needed. I haven't had time to enable IPv6 yet, so can't check locally what works and what doesn't. On 23 December 2019 17:50:58 CET, Peter Humphrey wrote: >Hello list, > >Since I set

[gentoo-user] Service marked as crashed, but it is running?

[gentoo-user] NFS problem

Hello list, Since I set up IPv6 on my LAN, I've been unable to NFS-export a directory on machine A (an Atom serving portage via git, among other things) and mount it on machine B (this workstation). It was working fine until then, but now mount commands fail. In both kernels I have NFSv4 selected,

[gentoo-user] Heads up for dev-libs/libqtxdg-3.4.0 and kwidgetsaddons-5.65.0 configure failure

Howdy, I did my eix-sync about 12 hours ago.  I seem to have caught the tree in a bad state or a fix was done later on.  If you have a failure for dev-libs/libqtxdg-3.4.0 and kwidgetsaddons-5.65.0, resync and try again.  It fails in the configure stage of the process.  After I resynced about 30 mi
