[gentoo-user] issues.

[Alan Grimes]

Here are the issues I'm currently having.

1. Grub2 menu DOES NOT ACCEPT KEYBOARD INPUT!

-- Upgraded my ram to 64gb, couldn't run memtest because grub2 is broken.


2. My current combination of Linux-Headers-5.2, kernel 5.2 and nvidia
drivers is UNSTABLE and crashes X11 to command line when the steam
client updates itself, breaking my long running number theory code, lost
about 2 days of work so far. Actually, when this happens the command
line is garbled and I have to issue "reset" to gain control again.

(current status:

0x1b39b15000000000000000000000000000000000
220102120012110100111001221102210220020212112012022020002010201222120120022111112110220000200210212_3
)

When either of those numbers rolls over, the program will leave the
inner loop and the outer loop will increment, the problem essentially
grows exponentially and will run very fast for small i, but when it gets
up to 49.... well it takes many months...) A threadripper might be able
to handle the i=50 block, I don't expect to find a number until the i=51
block... The last number I found is:
24014998963383302600955162866787153652444049

The weird thing is that all the numbers this code has found were done
with a Phenom II, 1090T. My Ryzen 1800x hasn't found a single new number
despite being 3x faster.

Try toggling the legacy USB setting in BIOS.

Can't you run the code in screen or tmux?

[gentoo-user] Issues.

[Alan Grimes]

I had updated my machine, rebooted, keyboard started working, thought 
would never see the problem again...


Had a power failure, came back on line, keyboard broken,
power went down again, came back on line, keyboard broken.

also X windows won't start my right hand monitor, workaround is to 
manually yank the cable and reinsert, starts working but that's BS... 
(Display Port)


Also, Konqueror disappeared so what in god's name am I supposed to use a 
file manager? It was also the only web browser that I had that was 
compatible with Verizon's broken payment site so I could pay my FIOS 
bill... How am I supposed to do that now, punks?  Gah, it's annoying as 
hell to have a large chunk of my keyboard not working... There are a lot 
of garbage keyboards out there that don't even have numpads, If I had 
one of those, I would't be able to use this garbage at all, what in 
god's name is going on???

Is this a USB or PS/2 keyboard?

Primary or secondary monitor, with or without a config file?  Have you swapped 
cables around to a different port?

Dolphin?

Does Falkon work?
