onse from machine. When shutting down using xfce4 icon machines returns to login screen. No messages are produced in system log other than shutdown.

Init 0 does nothing either so maybe there is a clue there John D Maunder j...@articwolf.myzen.co.uk

[gentoo-user] openoffice.org binary for ppc

Hi all! I am pretty new to the world of gentoo, tho I've been using linux for quite a while now (debian, gentoo). I am installing linux for friends, and because they have pretty slow computers, I thought gentoo will be my best choice. Of course, I did not expect to spend two weeks just installing i

Re: [gentoo-user] [Maybe OT]: Instability of system

2018-05-24 Thread john
I seem to get issue roughly every two to three weeks where I get a complete lock (Sys rescue keys dont work) or occasional reboot. I personally think this is a ryzen/linux issue as I dual boot with Windows and never had a problem there (for gaming purposes only). Not much help but good to see I'm not the only one. Think you'll be fine loading latest firmware as have done this but it hasn't really helped. John
