I have that in my user.js, with a comment saying that this only applies

new mail in a folder, and I restart Thunderbird, it will catch them when

If the later version is incompatible with installed software, that software should block the update. this behaviour indicates a broken ebuild. The main risk with using deep, particularly on a ~arch system, is that you get the updates when they come out, instead of waiting until they are needed. not using deep lets others hit the problems and get them sorted out before you need an update. > Code Listing 13: Updating your system > # emerge --update --ask world > > owever, it will only verify the versions for the applications you have > explicitly installed - not the dependencies.

Re: [gentoo-user] python 3.12 update

Thing is, if there are several updates before they can use 3.12, then you get to edit those each time. As it is, I'll leave it there for a couple weeks. If emerge complains in the meantime, I can remove a line or two. After a couple weeks, or maybe three, I can remove that and see if emerge can update without it. There is definitely a risk of me having to update the file each update for a while :-) I would possibly recommend my way anyway for those packages with the "single_target" variant, probably a bigger chance of any update to those packages being adding py3.12 support. Then again, I'm probably happier than most to tinker with these files to get them to my liking, I've never used autounmask in any way :-) Regards, Arve . I don't use autounmask either.

People made a good point like mine earlier. Sometimes you just can't wait on all packages to catch up. Some may not catch up for weeks or even months. Either way, we make our way through it and hope for the best. Some might never, but there are packages that are critical to servers which are not marked stable yet. I have 20+ systems that are affected by this which forced me to use a more generic solution as I don't have time to go through each package seperately: echo "*/* PYTHON_TARGETS: -* python3_11 python3_12" >> /etc/portage/package.use/000_Fixing_Dev_Lazyness echo "*/* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_11" >> /etc/portage/package.use/000_Fixing_Dev_Lazyness -- Joost

If you have a few days, I'd run spinrite (https://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm) on it. It is very slow but very good at checking and repairing disks. (Gibson is working on an updated version that will be much, much faster.) No joke that you would have to leave the current version running for several days (at least) for an 8TB drive, if you ran the most comprehensive test. Aside from time, the drawback is that spinrite costs money. I've used badblocks and it is not fast, but not nearly as slow as spinrite. IIRC, it took maybe a few hours for a 250GB drive. That said, I've been lucky not to have a huge number of problems with drives, so I can't say how much either has helped. -- Chris Spackman ch...@osugisakae.com ESL Coordinator The Graham Family of Schools ESL Instructor Columbus State Community College Japan Exchange and Teaching Program Wajima, Ishikawa 1995-1998 Linux user since 1998 Linux User #137532

I believe the right way would be to add 'account required pam_access.so' line to /etc/pam.d/system-auth and define login restrictions in /etc/securety/access.conf (it's also quite well documented). That way you'll block ssh/ftp/mail etc logins for that account, which should also be prone to brutforce attacks because of weak password.

Well, it works, and my impression is that it's a bit faster than icedtea-6 (the build system, I mean). Unless you've got time to spare, though, I wouldn't recommend building from source on anything else than a recent machine. Then there's the usual catch that you need to have a jdk installed in order to build icedtea -- so the first time you cannot use the source ebuild. andrea

[gentoo-user] converting from testing to stable SLOWLY
A few months ago a procedure was given for converting from testing to stable (e.g. ~amd64-->~amd) by essentially waiting for stable to catch up. I believe the basic idea was to unmask a bunch of packages and then as stable catches up, remove the unmasks. I also believe there was some automated way to generate the unmasks and maybe a way to see when each is not needed. Can someone repost this msg? I foolishly did not save it and now want to convert a system to stable and can afford to do so slowly. thanks, allan
