Version 15 so far is working well for me, so I'm not too concerned. For reference, this is the error I was receiving after upgrading to libssl-1.1:
VERIFY bora/lib/ssl/ssl.c:2392

VMware Player Error:

VMware Player unrecoverable error: (vmplayer)
Gentoo preserved the old libssl-1.0.2 library for ...

If you do not insist on the latest version of vmware-workstation you can find version 12.5.9 here .
I am still using it and it works fine. Vmplayer works fine too. Version 15 is crap.
For kernel 5.4.xx vmware-modules need this patch . I ran into incompatibilities with version 12 and the latest ...

Anyone have a resolution for this? I needed to upgrade my vmware installation and vmplayer prompts for a registration key. app-emulation/vmware-workstation installed from the stefantalpalaru overlay.

EDIT: Might just be a case of a deceiving UI in the new vmplayer. Thread here: https://github.com ...

This thread is old as the hills, but it's the second time recently it's helped me solve this problem. Also of note, if your network connections are failing to initialize you might also want to check if there's a lock file/directory at /etc/vmware/networking.lck/. I had to remove this directory in my ...

I was struggling to get VirtualBox (booting Kali) looking proper on my HiDPI screen. VirtualBox appears to be scaling everything automatically 2x the size, which is undesirable as everything looked big, blurry, and pixelated. There is apparently an option in VirtualBox to prevent this auto-scaling ...

Didn't realize that the .keep files weren't required anymore. Going to file a quick bug to have that line removed. Thanks!

This is just a heads up for anyone trying to use Nessus. I did my own version bump to 7.0.1 so I could install the latest version. When I brought up Nessus on https://localhost:8834 I wasn't prompted to create a user or register. I checked the cli tool to see what was up:
# /opt/nessus/sbin ...

Just ran into this over the weekend, and confirming that this also fixed the issue for me. When I had updated to gcc-5.2 I never did this step, since almost every package in my ...

I read this a few days ago. Gentoo does present challenges from time to time, but really I've never had any real major issues in the 12+ years I've been running Gentoo on my machines. Especially once the machine is up and running and configured. I really don't spend much time at all tinkering with ...

Try this to see why it's being pulled:

Gentoo, a distro based on minimalism of requirements and choice of what to install I would argue that Gentoo isn't about minimalism, but customization.

As such, you have the choice of two packages that fit the requirement of virtual/ssh, openssh and dropbear. I've never used the latter, but it's ...

Adding some additional info here for anyone who may find it helpful. I was still having problems with my vim colorscheme looking different than previous. I tried the 256 color urxvt option, but this didn't help. It turns out I was going in the wrong direction. Aterm appears to only use 8 colors. So ...

Thank you everyone for the feedback... my apologies for ignoring the thread for a few days. I did read everything a couple days ago.

I generally agree with @frostschutz, and put this type of attack in the highly sophisticated and targeted range. But, from what everyone else is saying, it sounds ...

SSD life is reduced without trim as 'write amplification', is maximised. This in due to the erase block size being much larger that the write block size, e.g. an erase block may be 64 or more write blocks. This is what must have happened to my previous drive. Over the last year things kept getting ...

LUKS and trim are not compatible. OK, this is in line with what I've read. So, should trim be enabled for the LVM partitions inside of LUKS, or is this out as well? And, if I don't enable trim at all, does this reduce the life or performance of my SSD over time?

What threat is your use of LUKS ...

I want to make sure I configure my SSD properly in my new laptop. For my last laptop I set the discard option for / and left it at that. I've read though that this currently isn't the best way to handle things.

My new machine has an NVME type SSD drive. I have all of Gentoo inside a LUKS partition ...

Thanks for the additional comments! I haven't had a chance to review further after I sort of got it where I want. Some of the colors are still a bit off in vim. It's fine, but a little different. It's still an unknown where aterm was pulling in these 'magic' colors. The only reason it matters, is ...

I'm going to mark this one solved. I didn't really answer my original question, but I seem to have what I need. This is the color scheme I'm using:
URxvt*color0: #000000
URxvt*color1: #b21818
URxvt*color2: #18b218
URxvt*color3: #b26818
URxvt*color4: #1818b2
URxvt*color5: #b218b2
URxvt*color6 ...

Thanks for the reply! I looked at the aterm source and found the colors. They are also listed on the man page :oops:

But, this is why I'm confused. The colors in my aterm are not the defaults. Apparently, aterm is taking some of my custom xterm color scheme, but not all of it. xterm and aterm ...

Is there a way to output the current color scheme of your terminal? I know you can override this in your .Xdefaults by adding the color1 - color15 definitions, but I am having problems finding the defaults.

My situation: I have been using aterm for about a decade and really like the default color ...

As promised, I'm posting a few more details here how I got things working. I'm hoping to post a full guide at some point how I installed/configured Gentoo on the Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition, the 9350 2016 model.

My problem with grub2 did revolve around the drive being an NVME type. Installing ...

I may have solved my issue with grub-9999 and some messing with the system BIOS. Will post more details when I'm sure everything is working properly.

I just read a few posts that mention that Grub doesn't yet support NVME disks. This may be core to my issue.

I've been having problems installing Gentoo on my new machine, a New Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition. I want to fully encrypt the root partition (including /boot and swap). I've attempted the installation 4 times now: the first two times using the legacy MBR BIOS boot and the second two times using ...

Question for everyone. Why are some GLSA's marked as remotely exploitable, even when they are only locally exploitable? A good example is the latest GLSA for grep: http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-201403-07.xml

If a remote attacker requires the user to run something locally, this is a ...
