Re: [gentoo-user] What do you think about Firefox 57?

[Rasmus Thomsen]

Hi,

I feel like firefox 57 is an awesome release, it's finally competitive with 
chromium in terms of speed. It also looks a lot better than older ff versions ( 
IMO ). It's kinda sad that they broke the addon compatibility, but I guess that 
was required for progressing.

Regards,
Rasmus

Re: [gentoo-user] Question on install

[Rasmus Thomsen]

The problem with email providers which store all emails encrypted ( as in 
end-to-end ) is that they usually require a specific app ( providers could be 
protonmail, tutanota etc. ). Both of which don't support bottom posting ( well 
), at least on mobile devices

Hi,

I guess most devs test their ebuilds with the latest stable version of gcc.

Re: [gentoo-user] Which pkg installs /boot/grub?

Hello,

grub creates /boot/grub when you run "grub-install"

Re: [gentoo-user] Hardened again

[Rasmus Thomsen]

Hello,

I'm pretty certain that switching to the hardened profile won't cause any slot 
conflicts, it pretty much just enables some compiler flags ( PIE ( it's enabled 
in not-hardened profiles since 6.3.0 too iirc ) , stack hardening, fortify 
source, RELRO ) and hardening flags on a few packages ( e.g. glibc ). Please 
try it again, maybe the output of emerge --info and the output of your world 
emerge ( or just the error message , both as pastebin or something ).

I'm not quite sure if I understand the second part correctly, but I guess you 
want to compile packages on your workstation for that smaller box? In that case 
it doesn't matter which kernel your host uses, just make sure to choose the 
correct -march value. You don't have to run the hardened kernel for the 
hardened profile to work ( although it greatly enhances it - but maybe not for 
long since GRSEC stopped publishing their patches ).

Regards,
Rasmus

Seems to be the error, maybe you have to recompile llvm with c++11

Re: [gentoo-user] genkernel iwlwifi WiFi driver

[Rasmus Thomsen]

Hello,

you could test if iwlwifi was included by running "modprobe iwlwifi" ( as root 
). If it is included but wifi still doesn't work you might have to install the 
relevant firmware ( via emerge linux-firmware )

Hello,

that's because wayland is just the API, you have to look for the compositor you 
use. You can test if you run wayland via "echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY" ( not too sure 
if all compositors export it though, but I guess they do )

Re: [gentoo-user] Wayland - too early to try?

[Rasmus Thomsen]

Hello,

I use GNOME with Wayland for some time and I actually didn't notice that I 
switched until I tried to get synergy working ( mouse sharing software, which 
only works on X ), seems like GDM automatically chose Wayland since some 
upgrade. XWayland works pretty seamlessly as well, so I'll just stay with 
Wayland for now, but it might be more annoying to use it with other DEs/WMs.
However, I have less screen tearing with fullscreen applications with Wayland 
than I had with X ( with radeon + mesa ).

Rasmus

Re: [gentoo-user] dev-util/pkgconfig / dev-util/pkgconf

Hi,

it doesn't matter that much, but I use pkgconf, it's a rewrite of pkg-config 
which does some things better ( like determining what has to be linked into the 
binary ) and works fine for me.

I guess you could add "EGIT_CLONE_TYPE=shallow" to your make.conf, that way you

Re: [gentoo-user] XATTR missing from ext4?

Hello,

do as Portage advises you and enable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY. You don't need 
any additional configs in your fstab, xattr are both enabled by default ( 
if compiled into the kernel ).

Thank you all for replying.

So it can be around 30~40 minutes or so on my i5 machine.
Just it feels strange to install something large that I would probably
never use myself.

I am considering using binary package instead of compiling it myself.

But I am afraid that using firefox-bin package would cause some
dependency problem. I once tried libreoffice-bin, but found it really
painful to resolve dependency issues during system upgrading.

Anyone tried firefox-bin smoothly?

Hi,

since firefox 54 rust isn't optional anymore, you could use firefox 52 
esr/firefox-bin (?) if you don't want to compile rust.

Re: [gentoo-user] Stack Clash and -fstack-check

Hi,

-fstack-check seems to be kind of broken on gcc right now:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=68065
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66479

it's a no-op for clang IIRC

Re: [gentoo-user] Imdb videos won't play in Chromium

Hi,

Does chromium even recognize flash? Go to chrome://flash, it should display the 
current flash version under "Flash Plugin".
About the YouTube thing:
Are you sure that it doesn't use its HTML5 player? You can to go 
youtube.com/html5 to check that.

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel did not finding root partition

[Rasmus Thomsen]

Hi,

make sure you have XFS compiled into the kernel ( not as module), or include it 
into the initramfs ( dunno how you would do that with genkernel though, I don't 
use an initramfs ). Grub should include a line saying root=xxx, maybe you have 
to set rootfstype, had to do that for BTRFS. Also make sure that you have sata 
( or nvme if you use that ) compiled into your kernel.

Why aren't you running "-march=native"? You're probably missing quite
a few features of your cpu. BTW, "-march=native" implies "-mtune=native"
and "-msse3" (if the cpu supports it). Out of sheer curiousity, what
does gcc report as your native cpu when you run...

gcc -c -Q -march=native --help=target | grep march=

"-O3"... yikes! Not really recommended. If you want speedup, use
"-march=native" instead.

In make.conf, I have...

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe 
-fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables"

The 2 "unwind_tables" flags reduce code bloat. See
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.busybox/36695 for details. The
guys at busybox do what they can to reduce code bloat. Knocking 15% off
the size of an executable or library helps. This results in faster
loading at startup (less to load), and less stuff in ram cuts down on
swapping.

Don't bother with 6, go straight to 7. I had at least one library (libxcb)
where 6.x generates broken x86 ABI code (needed to build with clang instead),
whereas 7.1 works fine again.

Have you looked at the lines mentioned above in base.php and index.php?

It may be an issue of correct owneship/access rights and the lines in those
files may give you a hint. Some files may need to be owned by the owncloud
user or the webserver user accounts.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to get memtest onto a USB drive

[Rasmus Thomsen]

Hello,

actually had that screen happening to me too, but my hardware was fine. Could 
you try emerging the latest (unstable) memtest86+ package? Symlinking should 
work with that one.

Rasmus

Re: [gentoo-user] System borked after emerge -e world

[Rasmus Thomsen]

Hi,
"Invalid Machine command" (forgot the exact error message) usually happened to 
me when I passed the wrong -march to GCC (e.g. -march=haswell on sandybridge 
cpus)

Rasmus

Can't execute it. "Invalid command".

There is one terminal (gnome-terminal) still open. This is the one
that I used to recompile everything. I'm logged in there as root.
But I cannot open another terminal. I don't even see what I'm typing
(no echo). I can only see the output.

AFAIK I don't have any binaries installed on my system.

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel config checks

[Rasmus Thomsen]

Yeah, but as your most recently emerged kernel usually is the one your going to 
use (why would you emerge it otherwise), it should work (most of the time)

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel config checks

[Rasmus Thomsen]

Hi,

you could set the symlink IUSE for your kernel package, that way your 
/usr/src/linux symlink would always link to your most recent kernel

Hi,

i just have a question regarding packages using linux-info.eclass to check for 
specific kernel config flags (e.g. app-emaulation/docker).

Currently it seems like the flags are only checked against the config in 
/usr/src/linux which is not necessariliy the running kernel.

Furthermore there are some warnings printed, but after some time i find it hard 
to remember what i will have to change in my kernel configs in order to make 
the package work right. It is also just a snapshot of the situation at the time 
emerge is building the package.

Does there exists a tool helping in maintaining consistency between kernel 
configuration and configs required by currently installed packages.

If not, could emaint be be the right tool to extend with this functionality?
Or is this functionality not really needed?

Manuel
