Anyone have a idea on how to make this work? resolv.conf tells DNS where to look. That's not openrc/systemd specific. There's another file - can't remember its name - that tells your resolver what to try in what order - the hosts file, dns, what dhcp told you, etc etc, so your resolver might not be using dns the way you think. I can't get that to work, either. I want my hosts file to take priority, but it's ignored. And then, of course, to really screw you over your ISP might be hijacking dns. Cheers, Wol

Many thanks for your help Helmut Do you have tor running on port 9150? Did you follow the instructions at https://github.com/MeisterP/torbrowser-overlay/blob/master/Readme.md? If you are new to tor, it's probably easier to just use the the bundle from https://www.torproject.org/download/ It should work out of the box.
[gentoo-user] Setting a fixed nameserver for openvpn
Howdy, I use Surfshark and every once in a while, my VPN loses its connection. I sent the info from messages to Surfshark but the info they sent back on how to set the nameserver info doesn't really work with Gentoo. I suspect they are used to systemd stuff. Anyway, I tried to follow in a more Gentoo way but it still didn't work. Then I googled, searched the Gentoo wiki and tried some of those things, still refuses to use the manually entered nameserver. I've tried resolv.conf, resolvconf.conf and resolv.conf-tun0.sv. I installed openresolv to see if that would help. Nope. I might add, a lot of this stuff is written for people using systemd and I use openrc here. I found one that had I think the right info but neglected to name the file that needed to be edited, sounds like something I'd do really. lol This is what I got from Surfshark: > I would recommend changing the DNS addresses on your Linux device.

I thought it might be leading to the later error "no rule to make target '3' ". See the attached log. An amd64 machine compiles this version of nodejs ok, but this machine is ~amd64.

I wouldn't think this is really the problem, as long as you get the "found kernel source directory" message. Being able to determine the version doesn't seem that important, depending on what the actual compile errors are. Regards, Arve
[gentoo-user] NodeJS compiling problem
Hello list, Am I the only one unable to install net-libs/nodejs-18.14.2? The log file has some interesting entries: * FEATURES: network-sandbox preserve-libs sandbox userpriv usersandbox * Checking whether python3_11 is suitable ... * >=dev-lang/python-3.11.1-r1:3.11[threads(+)] ... [ ok ] * Using python3.11 to build (via PYTHON_COMPAT iteration) * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Could not detect kernel version. But I've just built a new kernel under /usr/src/linux ( -> linux-6.2.2- gentoo), so I know it's there. Is the problem to do with python:3.11? $ eselect python list Available Python interpreters, in order of preference: [1] python3.10 [2] python3.11 (fallback) -- Regards, Peter.
