 ^^
It seems you did not use gdisk or a late version of parted to created the 
partition table?  Modern partition tools align the logical and physical 
sectors to 4096B.

Instead of ext2 follow the guide for creating a FAT fs partition with an EF00 
partition type.

James should set the boot flag in the partition table for /dev/sda1 and mount 
it under /boot (or /boot/EFI) in fstab.

[gentoo-user] gcc5 and xen-tools

[Håkon Alstadheim]

Apologies for ipad mail, I'll not make a habit of using it. Away from desktop 
four weeks atm.

I'm getting compilation-errors on xen-tools-4.6.3-r1 using gcc-5.4.0

Can't find xen mentioned here : 
https://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=gcc-5.3_id=3005290

Adding " append-flags -Wno-error=trampolines" to src_compile in the ebuild 
for xen-tools-4.6.3 (no -r1) allowed that to compile and is running fine.

 Build log excerpt: -

[gentoo-user] qt-creator (and others) too slow

[Francisco Ares]

Hello, all.

Interesting thing: running QtCreator in another machine with no KDE (using
WindowMaker) it runs as expected.

On another machine, the main one I use, with KDE, QtCreator (and other
program, as stated on the subject) eats CPU resources and behaves real slow.

On this KDE machine, connecting to the first one via ssh and running its
QtCreator, it starts to behave like the original one from this machine.

Starting QtCreator from a terminal, it says:

libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate

Starting QtCreator directly on that other machine, that warning does not
show up.

Any hints?

Both machines run the latest stable versions of QtCreator, Qt:4 and Qt:5

Thanks!
Francisco

[gentoo-user] icons and KDE

[»Q«]

Yesterday, I went from kde-plasma/plasma-desktop-5.5.5-r1 to -5.6.5,
after which I am not seeing nearly as many icons as I used to.  A lot
of other KDE packages were upgraded as well, and I don't know where to
start with troubleshooting.

In Dolphin, I no longer see icons for flac or mp3 files, just blank
space where an icon should be.  I haven't checked other file types.

I have a panel with several Quicklaunch widgets.  There, I see icons
for many of the launchers, but not others -- I just see blank space
where they should be.  Clicking the blank space does launch the
program.  Normally, the dialog brought up by 'edit launcher' shows the
icon for its .desktop file and lets me click on the icon to change it.
Now, the dialog does show the icon, but it's not clickable so it's not
editable.

Sounds like the c# compiler, is mono installed?

Well, the best I found is this on the gdisk homepage:

Basically, you shouldn't. The article tackles most aspects and
pitfalls.

You'd have to get rid of one of those partitions (I'd say /boot).

By following the example in the above webpage, it worked on a file.
But it is rather sure to fail if you need more than 3 partitions (as
one is taken for the GPT, that leaves 3 more primary ones in the MBR
and logical partitions is doomed to fail.
