[gentoo-user] mouse and keyboard don't respond
This is a new installation: mouse and keyboard don't respond at all dmesg sees them and in the Xorg.0.log libinput sees them both but it keeps saying libinput: Logitech G703 (my mouse) Failed to create a device for /dev/input/event23 and before that it says xf85OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/event23 Permission denied. :((( my kernel has everything and i have the drivers all installed im not sure what im missing

AFAIR, grub-mkconfig looks for files named vmlinuz-version, so while it is not arbitrary when auto-generating the GRUB config, the name here should be fine. I suspect the issue is with either the contents of the kernel or the parameters you pass it, rather than the suffix of the file name. -- Neil Bothwick 0 and 1.

The name of the kernel file is essentially arbitraty, although there are certainly conventions. What is important is that grub knows the correct name to use. For starts, how are you generating the kernel, and did you run grub-mkconfig after building the new kernel?

I may have misread your OP - apologies: "... but fully *colored* with Feh." This is probably related to the colour gamut settings of gwenview. In the gwenview settings, on the Advanced tab, there are settings for "Rendering intent" and "Colour profile". Change these and see if it makes a difference. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Once you have converted an original raster image into a smaller (i.e. more compressed) jpeg image you have thrown away some pixels. Post-processing can't put these missing pixels back. I think the gwenview faded display phenomenon you describe here is unlikely to be the result of your conversion, since feh displays it without any fading. It may be caused by gwenview scaling the image to a different size, to make it fit in the gwenview window, unlike feh which will open it in its original size whether its full size dimensions fit in your PC monitor or not. You can check the gwenview % reduction/increase shown at the bottom right hand corner and change this to 100% to see if it makes any odds. In the gwenview settings you can select what the default 'Zoom Mode' is, if indeed this is the cause of the faded image display. Another thing perhaps related could be the anti-aliasing gwenview applies to fit the image in the window aperture and how this interacts with the image elements and the resolution of your monitor - you should be able to check this if you change the zoom level. https://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/24512/what-is-aliasing-and-anti-aliasing On the same PC/monitor with the same display dimensions for an image gwenview (with its default settings) and feh ought to produce the same output - at least they do so here. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] 2021-08-19-mc-legacy-config-dirs
i am a little confused about the news 2021-08-19 in the 4.8.26 ebuilds the use flag is +xdg. with 4.8.26 everything is ok. 4.8.27 does not show me e.g. man-pages correctly, only source, no format. i put a file in dir /etc/portage/package.use with: app-misc/mc xdg it has no effect i use temp USE="xdg" emerge app-misc/mc it has no effect. what is wrong?
