[gentoo-user] problem emerging virt-manager 4.0.0

Hi. In today's world update, I get the following strange output when trying to emerge virt-manager. I am not even sure what this means. >>> Configuring source in >>> /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0/work/virt-manager-4.0.0 >>> ... python3.9 setup.py configure --default-graphics=

[gentoo-user] which lenovo or huawei laptop?

I bought a bottom of the line HP laptop and had only problems with unsupported chips.  I'd like to buy a lenovo or huawei now. Has anyone had bad experiences porting /gentoo/ to either?

[gentoo-user] a11y kernel build

I'm curious, with a system about to build a kernel does a command or command switch exist to tell the kernel build process to build the kernel in such a way that all hardware now enabled gets enabled in the build of the kernel?

Does anybody have this printer? Is there a driver in overlay to setup this printer? Installing those drivers from rpm and cupswrapper is tiring.

Re: [gentoo-user] a11y kernel build

#a11y is an accessibility hash tag you may run across on the internet. That covers assistive technologies like screen readers; refreshable braille displays, magnifiers, and similar other technologies I've been fortunate to have never needed to use for work on technology. The information you provide

Re: [gentoo-user] a11y kernel build

Ah - a11y sort of like i18n and l10n (at least in how to read it.) I just found a web page calling it a numeronym. After all your reading, I would still suggest thinking carefully about your goal. The link Peter sent has a good summary of all the "make Xc onfig" options, and I agree with

[gentoo-user] Re: LVM and the /usr Logical Volume

So it sounds like /usr being under /dev/dm-1 instead of /dev/mapper does not look right. The UUID was tried in the fstab and the same results occurred, same as with LABEL and mount points. Since /usr is mounted temporarily at boot it almost looks as if there is something wrong with the way t
