You could either try a more recent kernel, the current stable kernel
upstream being 4.9.8. Chances are this oops may have been fixed there.

Otherwise, you could report this oops to the Gentoo kernel devs with
more info on where the oops happened supplied. See the
oops-tracing.txt doc available here,
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/plain/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt?id=refs/tags/v4.9.8,
for details on how to do this.

Hope this helps.

Have you created the desired directory, e.g. /root/easy-rsa-example/pki/ 
before you feed this path in the CLI above?

More recent CPUs may not yet have microcode updates available for them.  
Compare the before and after dmesg output to see if the patch level changes.

Kernel crashes are not necessarily a Gentoo specific problem.  They happen on 
all distros.

Mine is a MacBookPro 11,2 with a 15" screen.  Gentoo was running fine on 
kernel 4.9.39, with systemd and Gnome desktop, but the latest stable kernel 
has caused me problems as I posted below.  There are many people running Linux 
and Gentoo in particular on MacBooks.  Have a look at the Gentoo wiki for 
guidance.

PS. Please check Google for thread hijacking and for top posting.  Both are

I think in order to build it I need to run:

./easyrsa build-ca nopass
./easyrsa gen-req clinic_8amd nopass
./easyrsa sign-req server clinic_8amd nopass
./easyrsa gen-dh
./easyrsa build-client-full home1 nopass

It seems to me they have change a lot. I was following instructions from:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Create_a_Public_Key_Infrastructure_Using_the_easy-rsa_Scripts

and these two went OK:
./easyrsa gen-req clinic_8amd nopass
./easyrsa gen-dh

but I'm getting an error below:

The parentheses "()" around the libressl flag indicates that it's forced 
by your profile. In this case, the libressl USE flag is masked for most 
architectures/platforms for stable arch because there's no stable 
libressl package:

[gentoo-user] Can I run a 32-bit CentOS chroot on a 64-bit Gentoo host?

[Walter Dnes]

  Right now, I'm using a 32-bit CentOS QEMU VM to build Pale Moon for
older machines.  There's the usual processing overhead of a VM, plus it
has to have it's own virtual disks with safety margin of space, plus 5
gigabytes of swap space inside the VM.

  What I'd like to do is a 32-bit CentOS chroot inside my 64-bit Gentoo
desktop host.  I'm looking at rsync'ing the / directory from inside the
CentOS VM file system to a directory on the 64-bit host, and then chroot
into the copy on the host.

  Is it possible?  Any booby-traps?  Has anybody here done something
similar?

You want: ./easy-rsa build-ca

It's all in one script one.

It could be the reason is that it was emerged without "libressl"
app-crypt/easy-rsa-3.0.1-r1  USE="(-libressl)"

so I put package.use
app-crypt/easy-rsa libressl

and try to re-emerge it, it is not taking any effect.
emerge -avq easy-rsa

[ebuild   R   ] app-crypt/easy-rsa-3.0.1-r1  USE="(-libressl)"

why isn't the package enclosing the libressl in emerge?

Correct. The driver package gets pulled in.

Tried every ebuild available for an older version and no luck; which
makes me think something else is causing this. Compiler? some option

Hi Mick,

I am a noob in gentoo so I am not sure that I can help.
But I do have an Retina Macbook Pro (MacbookPro12,1) and am thinking about 
running gentoo on it.
I would like to know if you were running it previously on the
same/similar model or was it an older model ?

Re: [gentoo-user] help securing system / remote unlock

[Simon Perfer]

Thank you Neil. I had not seen that link.


I've had quite an uphill battle getting Dracut to work properly with a rather 
strange networking situation I have on a variety of servers.


I believe the "out of the box experience" I had was not leveraging dracut, 
though I could be wrong.


Does gentoolkit not support dracut?


My search skills must be failing me...is this really that uncommon of a use 
case? Can't seem to find much information around this topic.

Please post the USE flags set for all the following :  "dev-db/sqlite:3"
and "net-libs/webkit-gtk:2", "net-libs/webkit-gtk:3",
"net-libs/webkit-gtk:4". ( Yes, webkit-gtk has three slots. 3 slots = 3
possible different sets of use flags. )

And which program/other entity/process/whatever was the culprit?

The purpose of the mailing list is also reference for later search for
someone possibly having an issue like yours.

Some people may consider it rude to keep the solution for yourself

I wouldn't bother with an overlay for this. Edit the ebuild or delete the
patches from the main tree and redigest the ebuild then merge it.
Everything will be reset at the next sync, but by then the package will
be installed so it won't matter.

I'd only bother with an overlay copy if I thought I was going to need to
re-emerge the package several times.

[gentoo-user] MacBook Pro oops with gentoo-sources-4.9.6-r1

Hi All,

Just as I thought I was getting on top of my Gentoo installation on a MacBook,
a new kernel oops unpleasantly, although it manages to boot into a Gnome
desktop eventually.  No wireless is available (broadcom-sta proprietary drive
is used).  Shutting down/rebooting is a hit and miss operation.  Invariably I
have to hold the power button to force it to shut down.  Shutting the lid does
not put it to sleep but goes into some race condition with the fans spinning
like mad.  The screen is black thereafter until I force it to shutdown.

Previous kernel 4.4.9 had no such problems.

I attach the log output.  Please let me know if you want to see the kernel
.config too.

Invariably all modern CPUs, video cards, NICs, etc. are shipped with firmware 
which are usually emerged with sys-kernel/linux-firmware (or manually) and 
then loaded with an initrd, or by building them in the kernel.  Regarding 
AMDGPUs please note the Wiki strings of firmware blobs are not 100% correct.  
I noticed dmesg was complaining about missing blobs on a Kaveri APU although I 
had all the complete Kaveri string included in the kernel.  I had to add:

  radeon/bonaire_uvd.bin radeon/BONAIRE_uvd.bin radeon/BONAIRE_vce.bin

to keep it happy.

BTW, for AMDGPUs you will also need to add CPU microcode blob strings.

[gentoo-user] help securing system / remote unlock

[Simon Perfer]

Hi – I've successfully set up whole disk encryption by using LUKS and ZFS on 
top of it. I can boot by unlocking the drive via some remote console.


Can't seem to find a tool that will generate an initramfs with support for ZFS, 
LUKS and Dropbear so that I can remotely unlock the system.


Ubuntu makes it very easy to enable Dropbear in their initramfs. I could have 
sworn I've done before via some popular / existing initramfs tool on Gentoo but 
can't seem to remember which one (or if it's even possible).


Short of building my own custom initramfs or hacking dracut, bliss-initramfs, 
etc., are there any pre-baked solutions I can rely on?


Thanks!

As far as I know the blob is firmware, not driver so the answer is yes,
you will always need the firmware.

The firmware does not have to be built into the kernel if you use
modules, it can be loaded from userspace.

 I suggest upgrading to NTP, especially if the systems are powered on

yes, just point your local ntp t the router address. Make sure it's

After some more experimenting it seems that it's python-exec causing the
problem. The files are where they're supposed to be.

After that, I found out that in the magick-rotation script the bits that
start the script running are commented out.

Then after all those problems I found out it doesn't appear to work on
my Surface anyway. Argh. ;-)

[gentoo-user] AMDGPU

[jdm]

Hi,

Just followed the amdgpu wiki guide to get my new graphics card up and
running. Excellent wiki guide and had no issues. Now running with
shiny graphics and throwing all that Steam has to offer at it. 

Many Thanks to the wiki authors.

Will we always have to include binary blobs into the kernel for AMD
cards? This feels kind of odd for me so wondering if this will be
included as a package or a kernel driver at some point or what the
future direction is for AMD graphics with Linux. 

It may not be alien but not done this before so curious.

John

I was referring to NTP the protocol (which is what chrony speaks), not

 I am using gentoo-sources-4.9.6-r1 on my Surface, and I just plugged in
 a USB stick and Dolphin mounted it with no issues.

[gentoo-user] USB installation using grub 2 and efi

[marco restelli]

Hi all,
   I would like to build a bootable USB which behaves as a normal
installation (saving files, updates etc.) and which is reasonably
portable across various computers. I am following

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Install_Gentoo_on_a_bootable_USB_stick/en

which seems to describe what I am looking for. I am adapting the above
instructions to use grub2 with efi, using one partition for /boot and
another for /boot/efi .

I can boot the USB once, but then at the next reboot my hard drive
installation is corrupted and can not be booted anymore. I have to
reinstall grub from another live USB.

My questions:

1) is the above link a good reference for what I am trying to do?

2) what can corrupt the main driver when booting from the USB
installation?

3) is there another reference for what I am doing? (live USB are a
different thing, since unless I am mistaken the installation can not
be changed, although it is possible to mount a writable partition)

The fact that the main installation is corrupted is of course what
worries me most, since for this USB to be make sense I should be more
or less confident that at least it does not corrupt the main
installation.

I have no problems providing additional details, if I knew what would
be useful.

Thank you!
Marco

[gentoo-user] x11-misc/sddm-0.14.0-r2 won't log out ... the first time

[Mick]

I updated to x11-misc/sddm-0.14.0-r2 and as the title says, the DM re-logs in 
once when I try to log out.  The second time it logs out properly.  What might 
be causing this strange behaviour?  Have you noticed the same?

 NX is long time gone from portage.  I hope, I can still install them
 from atic.
 This was another reason I wasn't upgrading for a long time as I need
 them to access remote boxes in GUI.

WOW, are you trying to say you are connecting client running "remmina"
to server running NX?
If this is the case I'm impressed.

I suggest upgrading to NTP, especially if the systems are powered on
for days at a time.

OK, I had a closer look.  Kernel 4.9.6-r1 is not the problem on at least two 
boxen I just checked - I also tried a Macbook which keeps crashing at boot 
time with this kernel, but that's for another post.

The USB problem is related to the latest updates I ran, which also coincided 
with the kernel upgrade and this put me off the scent.  I booted into 4.4.39 
and the problem was still there on two different PCs.

I also booted into two different desktop managers, Plasma and Enlightenment.  
The problem remained with both of them, whether I used KDE apps to mount the 
USB stick or not.

As I mentioned, when I use pmount on the CLI I can mount the device.  However, 
when I used udisksctl, I got this:

$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb
 AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount ===
Authentication is required to mount Crucial Gizmo! overdrive (/dev/sdb)
Authenticating as: root
Password: 

What?!  This comes up with plain users, and users in the wheel group.  This 
makes me think the problem may be polkit related.  These are the packages I

[gentoo-user] webkit-gtk-2.14.2 cant find sqlite3 symbols

[kelly hirai]

hello fellow gentoo-users,

  for about a month now, i have not been able to make 
webkit-gtk-2.14.[2,3] compile. it terminates at the linking step 
complaining it cant find some sqlite functions.


./configure phase reports sqlite3 availability

-- Checking for module 'sqlite3'
--   Found sqlite3, version 3.13.0
-- Found Sqlite: /usr/include

but when it comes time to do the linking it cant find it:

FAILED: : && /usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++  -fPIC -march=native -O2

the symbols seem to be in the library:

sqlite3_create_collation_v2

strings /usr/lib64/libsqlite3.so | grep  create_collation_
sqlite3_create_collation_v2

i'm stumped here. i don't see any explicit linking flags. the 
@CMakefiles/WebKit2.rsp doesn't make sense to me, maybe its in there?

I figure that might be the reaction :-)

Filing a bug at b.g.o. and asking for that important info to be an elog
is a good idea, I think

The module is in /usr/share/magick-rotation/gui_gtk.py
You need to read /usr/share/doc/magick-rotation-${PV}/INSTALLER.txt

Hi Alan,

thanks for the infos! That will help!

Short meta-question: I haven't done this before
and need some instructions...
Since I am no native speaker, I often fail to
find something specific (or ot will take much longer
than usual).
What is the "terminus technicus" here?
"User overlay", "local overlay" or something with "layman" in 
there?

Cheers
Meino

telepathy is an instant messaging framework, the successor to Kopete
from KDE

webkit is ... web rendering stuff. Hard to tell what it means in context

Do you have problems with remmina if your keyboard is set to something
other than US-101?

We had eternal problems with that at work (Mint clients) so couldn't use
remmina with plain RDP.

To the best of my knowledge, patches applied by the ebuild are not
user-deselectable.

A workaround that you might be OK with is to copy that version of the
ebuild you use plus patches your own local overlay, remove the offending
patches from files/ and edit the ebuild if necessary.

This way, that version and only that version will do what you want.
If the maintainer fixes the issue and pushes gperf-3.1-r1 to the tree
then your locally modified ebuild won't be used anymore.

[gentoo-user] Reversing a .../files/*.patch as user patch?

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

While compiling my new root, it fails again.

Here is the desription what happens...solution is
not to apply two of the patches of the ebuild.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605158


But...how can I do this more convenietly than
manually reversing the patchfiles?
Can I instruct emerge not to apply certain patches?

Cheers

I haven't bothered to set up l2tp/pptp on my router at home to try this
out. I left it at the default setting of ADSL speeds on my LAN (which
I'm told is about 3mbit on the x2go site) but they do have slower
settings you can choose.

Any experience, how do they compare speed-wise  net-misc/remmina vs.
x2goserver of GUI to remote PC over the internet?

Yes, x2goserver needs to be installed on the remote system. But I do
believe you need something installed on the remote system to listen for
nx/vnc requests anyway.

I switched to x2goserver/x2goclient maybe two years ago from
xvnc/tigervnc as it was getting to be a real chore to install again
xorg-x11 at the time.

It has some benefits, one of them being it spawns a new session when you
log in, like Terminal Server/Remote Desktop Services on Windows -
meaning you don't attach to an existing user that's logged on.

It also has some downsides. As in not all desktops are fully supported.
I had to switch to MATE on the server for reliability issues. KDE5 is
not supported, as an example. They do support other desktops besides
MATE, it's just the one I stuck with. It does, however, feel
back-asswards compared to KDE, as a primarily KDE-user.

Which flags are you using?
net-misc/remmina-1.2.0_rc16-r1  USE="crypt nls (-ayatana) -gnome-keyring -rdp 
-spice -ssh -telepathy -webkit -zeroconf"
 
I know I'll need: ssh rdp
The remaining: -telepathy -webkit -zeroconf -ayatana
I have no clue about them and looking up the info doesn't tell me much.

I am using gentoo-sources-4.9.6-r1 on my Surface, and I just plugged in

How is the connection speed of GUI to remote PC over the internet in
comparison NX?

I assume the connection will work over ssh.

There is also Guacamole, whose main advantage is that the client is a browser.
The architecture seems a bit complex.
I intend to try it but I can tell currently how good it is.
http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/
It's masked in Portage :
net-misc/guacamole-server
www-apps/guacamole

Hi,

You can also use xpra.  It’s basically an X11 forwarding with some
compression and other tuning.

NX is long time gone from portage.  I hope, I can still install them
from atic.
This was another reason I wasn't upgrading for a long time as I need
them to access remote boxes in GUI.



I have net-misc/x2goclient (and net-misc/x2goserver) installed.
But I think, x2goserver has to be installed on the remote system.
