I configured it to compile everything remotely (to just 1 server) because it would be deterministic and so easier to test. But the server refused to compile anything at all; it complained about not being able to obtain some lock. I ought to disclose that the server is Debian. But the distcc versions on both sides were the same, and I hand-compiled a matching gcc version on the server. One thing I very much dislike about distcc is that there seems to be no good way of using a full path to the compiler on the server that's different from the one on the client. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.

Also file a bug report. I posted my last reply after pgp.mit.edu also failed. The URL you give is obviously a key server pool, but it looks like MIT's may be also (without inspecting it). I retried on MIT's URL until the request went through. If you can't change the URL then keep trying. The issue is, I think, that the pool will give you servers that don't support HKP, but I have had this issue when contacting keyservers directly. Cheers, R0b0t1

What do you mean "would not load"? From the live ISO? I had no such problem here on a bare metal install (no Windows) with sysrescuecd.

Hi all, I'm trying to get a new computer working. I've decided to go the UEFI route but something is being a bit obstinate. Would anyone have the combination of a Gigabyte motherboard, x470 Ultra, with an AMD Ryzen 7 2700 CPU? Set up to run UEFI? I'm having all sorts of trouble trying to get things running and if anyone would happen to have a working kernel config for the above combo, and is willing to share, it would be greatly appreciated.
