[gentoo-user] Firefox tells me my "...connection is not secure"

[Andrew Lowe]

HI all,
	Just wondering if anyone else has come across this problem. Via the 
search box in Firefox, I attempt to search Google for, say, 
"distillation columns" and I get a page saying:


 "Your connection is not secure"

some more stuff then

"Error code: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY"

I try the same thing with wikipedia and I get the same response. I then 
go to the slashdot website, all is good. The local newspaper, all good. 
I can log into my bank no problems. I've tried Youtube and it brings up 
the problem, which is using https, but viewing a range of other sites, 
also using https does not reveal the problem.


	Any ideas as to what's making three of the biggest sites on the 'net 
unsecure for me?


Any thoughts greatly appreciated,

Andrew

The cause was most likely this[1] bug from December, if you hadn't
rebuild your Firefox more recently.

Fair point.

GRUB2 has one config file, but it's now called grub.cfg. However, GRUB2
can also generate its own config, and that uses a ton of other config
files, for values of ton <3. All you need to edit is /etc/default grub
and maybe the custom menu file in /etc/grub.d.

Yes and no. It works but it is nowhere near as clearly documented as
GRUB. It may take you a little while to get the hang of GRUB, but that's
what you are planning for, so fine. But it will all make sense soon
enough and it is the most versatile bootloader out there.

[gentoo-user] Copying USB->USB: sync after every file

[Frank Steinmetzger]

Hi list,

I need a pointer, please. Something is amiss on my laptop’s setup. When I
copy a number of big files (i.e. videos) from one USB device to another, it
starts to read the file, then after a few seconds starts to write to the
destination and only *after* that file has been completely written, it
continues with the next file.

I never knew this behaviour before and my PC does not do this -- it copies
in one continuous go.

I noticed it first in KDE’s transfer speed graph. Then I could reproduce it
with a simple `cp`, but also with rsync and mc. It must be a kernel setting
regarding power saving or writeback size or what have you.

Can you give me a nudge? My sysctl.conf has only one active line besides
some netfilter stuff:
vm.swappiness = 1
(This is an SSD, I don’t even have swap on this machine unless I know I
definitely need it temporarily)


Here is the output of dstat whilst I copied a number of videos from a USB stick
to an external USB 2 harddrive in mc:

And I added it. No, no meaningful extra information in the log than already 
posted
in the previous email. Just done also adding --backtrack=100...

And I don't see any meaningful extra information in that one either, but
I'm attaching it gzipped:

emerge-tuDN_world_backtrack100_1485186916.gz

DETACHING IT! Not there!

It's even hard to see what the differences are... And I do have much
worse issues than this trifle... for which, if there's no quick fix, I
prefer to wait till it's fixed...

[[ No, these below are the latest lines: ]]
I had to emerge -C these:
texlive-basic app-doc/pms dev-texlive-latex

and now all is being emerged hopefully fine.

Of course, I'll re-emerge those, if they are not emerged automatically,
and run emerge --depclean . I don't have inconsistency in my
Air-Gapped... But, boy! Do I have sometimes, not always, idiotic
inconsistency in my online clone! You wouldn't believe it, but that the
being openened to the often dirty and bad, which the internet is, if it
is not being targeted...

I decided to, before I send this reply, wait to see... texlive-core just
installed fine, so this issue is likely solved for me...

The include files in question have this dependency chain:
/usr/include/linux/errno.h → /usr/include/asm/errno.h →
/usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h

They come from the linux-headers package:
equery -q b /usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h /usr/include/asm/errno.h
/usr/include/linux/errno.h

sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.4

Re: [gentoo-user] trouble updating texlive

[Adam Carter]

Probably a good idea to quickpkg before unmerging in case things break.
Also check what gets added to /var/lib/portage/world to make sure
dependencies haven't been added when you re-install. You could take a copy
of that file before you start so you can  diff them after, or use -p and
--tree before you re-install so you can identify the dependencies and leave
them out of the install package list

And to help with that, if you have equery (app-portage/gentoolkit) try
running `equery l '*texlive*' | xargs emerge -Ca` and then try updating
@world again.

Thanks for this info. After enabling the text useflag for xmlto, I was

I'd say the relevant sysctl's are /proc/sys/vm/dirty* and
/proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode, along with the filesystems and mount options you
are using for the USB drives. Please post these values. Also, could you
get the output of /proc/meminfo while this is happening?
